Vol 23 no 1


A nation trying to deal with a phoney war, the resurfacing of racism, paranoia and panic over border control and a population deeply split over its government's actions in relation to these. Artists respond to the shame of the Children Overboard episode, the Tampa Crisis, the inhuman conditions in our refugee detention centres and the 'war on terror'.
