Go Back To Where You Came From
Thank you SBS for showing something that is getting people talking about some of the issues surrounding immigration in Australia.
I like to learn something new everyday...or not - because most of what's news is crushingly depressing. This mini series didn't so much change my mind as provide some glimpses into what some refugees have been through. I did know about the war in Congo (DRC) but not actually much about it. Did you know, or do you remember these horrific basic facts:
In a country of 70 million, 5 million have been killed so far in a war that has been going on for the past twelve years. It is estimated that over 10,000 women are raped every day. I can't see how people can criticise people seeking to immigrate to safer countries than this.
