*Content Warning* Descriptions of self-harm and sexual assault involving children This week we wrap up a three-part series about Australia’s policies towards migrants and refugees. In this episode we focus specifically on refugee policy since 2001 and the history of the Manus Island and Nauru detention centres. Ben looks in harrowing detail at the ‘Nauru Files’ and I discuss all the times that the UN has condemned Australian refugee policy, and the reasons why offshore detention does not ‘save lives at sea’. What I would have liked to focus more on however is the ‘death by a thousand cuts’ that is the long, slow cruelty of Australia’s increasingly harsh and arbitrary laws governing the lives of those who seek asylum in Australia. So here's is a link to an article I wrote that delves a bit deeper.

What will it take for us to give refugees a fair go? Julian Burnside QC has a few ideas. The barrister (and arts lover and storyteller and much more besides) has been fighting for better treatment for refugees for 15 years. He chatted to us recently about the value of listening to other people, why we should all support living artists and the piece of music that never fails to lift his soul.
