Some politicians, journalists and media commentators would have us believe that Australia is being over-run by “illegal arrivals”, placing our own livelihoods at risk – but how much of what they tell us is true? Is Australia doing more than its fair share to help refugees – or not nearly enough? What role do journalists play in shaping the public debate about asylum seekers and perpetuating or counteracting popular myths? What do journalists find when they go to the source countries – Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia and Malaysia – to uncover the human stories behind the headlines? As hundreds of boatloads of people continue to arrive on Australian shores and the government argues about “solutions”, is the situation spiralling out of control?
In this special Walkleys Media Talk for World Refugee Day on June 20, join ABC Stateline host and Walkley Documentary Award judging chair Quentin Dempster as he leads our panel of speakers Steve Pennells (2012 Gold Walkley Award-winner, The West Australian), Robin de Crespigny (author, The People Smuggler) and Jessie Taylor (Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea) through a challenging and thought-provoking conversation. The talk includes an exclusive free screening of Taylor’s award-winning 52-minute documentary Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
