TELEVISION INTERVIEW
I was recently interviewed on SLOVENIAN NATIONAL TELEVISION (Osmi Dan – RTV 365) discussing my (our) new film “THIS JUNGO LIFE”
As Europe, and much of the world, leans more intolerant and racist every day, it was amazing to have a full SIX MINUTES on National Television talking about migrant and refugee rights, European border policies and much more. (Note: Images from the film begin at 30secs and English interview begins at 55secs.)

Australian Asylum Policies: Resettling Refugees in Papua New Guinea
In 2016 I spent six weeks in the city of Lae in Papua New Guinea, with unique access to the first group of refugees resettled from Manus Island, where I was able to experience their resettled life first-hand.
Following this experience, I wrote an article that was published in THE GUARDIAN newspaper, and gave a number of radio interviews – you can read and listen below.
“I have witnessed the total lack of mental support and infrastructure provided to these men, who – fresh from the trauma of their time in detention – have been left to fend for themselves far away from media scrutiny and the national spotlight. I have also witnessed scenes of despair and disillusionment as they realise the reality of their “resettled” life is very different from what they were led to believe, and at odds with the hollow rhetoric and political spin that is being fed to the Australian public. Papua New Guinea is an extraordinary country very close to my heart, but I can say with absolute surety that it is not an appropriate country in which to resettle refugees.”
