Hey, One thing that the Compass program last night missed was the work that is actually being done in the detention centres. It looked at prominant lawyers and executives and what they do to help asylum seekers, but missed the people doing the hard, dirty work caring and looking after the people where they need it first and foremost.
At least one of these people is on this list, and I congratulate them and thank God for everyone of them. One interesting thing that Compass brought up was a program called Actors for Refugees, led by a woman off Sea-Change (can't remember her name), who aim to 'put a face' on the asylum seeker issue. A couple of weeks ago there was a program on ABC called "Marking Time" by John Doyle. This program was true to life, at times ugly, at times beautiful, look at this issue from the perspective of a country town (based on the experiences in Young). It is due to be released on video and DVD in the new year and I would recommend it to everyone.
