As federal parliament debates the best method to repel refugees, authors Robin de Crespigny and Tony Kevin remind us of the human cost of refugee policies that begin with deterrence. Their stories of why refugees breach borders and avoidable boat tragedies, speak of their belief in the need for safe passage for refugees, not criminalisation and deterrence.
Join us for a conversation with Robin de Crespigny, author of 'The People Smuggler: The true story of Ali Al Jebani, the "Oskar Schindler of Asia"' and Tony Kevin, author of 'Reluctant Rescuers' and 'A Certain Maritime Incident'.
Co-hosted by the Refugee Action Collective and Moreland City Council.
