Invitation to Controversies seminar 1: 'What happened to the concept of 'a fair go' for all? Why is this not applying to new arrivals to Australia?'

Victoria University — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:15:59 +0000

Event location

Campus:

City Flinders

Location description:

City Convention Centre, Level 12

The Victoria Institute invites you to the first of what will be a passionate and engaging public seminar series.

Guest speaker: David Manne, Executive Director, Refugee and Immigration Legal Centre. David led the successful High Court challenge to the Government proposed expulsion of asylum seekers to Malaysia for processing under the so-called Malaysian Solution.

Discussant: Rob Stary, Principal, Rob Stary Lawyers, has 'defended a rogues gallery of terror suspects and underworld figures'.

David Manne will talk about his views on the extent to which we, as a nation, have denied people seeking protection in Australia a 'fair go', and how we might somehow begin to restore a 'fair go' to the treatment of future arrivals.

Rob Stary will take the role of discussant to further explore the complex issues around new arrivals and the concept of 'a fair go'.

The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions of both speakers.
