What cranks Philip Ruddock�s motor? In this issue LINDA JAIVIN unearths 
the resourceful ways writers and artists are undermining the empathy 
obstacles placed by Howard government ministers: "Asylum seekers who 
speak to journalists may be interrogated, threatened and punished, 
sometimes with room searches in which their possessions are 
�accidentally� damaged." Fiction, theatre and even video games, writes 
Jaivin, are successfully hurdling government attempts to impede public 
empathy.
