Hear author and journalist David Marr lead a discussion about Australia’s refugee policy, with Kaldor Centre Director Jane McAdam AO, After the Tampa author Abbas Nazari, and Guardian Australia journalist Ben Doherty.

In the two decades since the Tampa affair, Australia’s asylum policies and politics have become even harsher. How should Australia respond to the people forced from their homes by conflicts, disasters or the impacts of climate change, or who are already living in Australia in detention or endless uncertainty? How can we do better?

In the wake of the federal election, this distinguished panel appraised where we’ve come from and what the future holds for people seeking Australia’s protection.

This event was presented by the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law at UNSW Sydney.
