PUBLIC TALK: What happens now that Australia has 'stopped the boats'?

An 'On the Edge' public lecture by Paul Power, Chief Executive Officer of the Refugee Council of Australia.

For the past eight years, Paul Power has been actively engaged in debates about the direction of Australian and international refugee policy as Chief Executive Officer of the Refugee Council of Australia. He has been involved in the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network, the regional umbrella body for NGOs involved in support to refugees, since its inception in 2008 and now serves on its steering committee. Paul will share his observations about the impacts of Australian policy on refugees across the Asia-Pacific region and look at what practical alternatives are available, even in a national political environment where both major parties seem unlikely to back away from their commitment to "stop the boats".
