It’s certainly never been done anywhere else in the world (so SBS keep reminding us), and it looks to be a most compelling series to allow for some additionally educated discussion in the asylum seeker debate. As a special event – three hours over three nights – the series stands to offer a great insight into what a good representative cross-section of Australian’s think about refugees and whether or not they should be allowed entry to Australia by “jumping the queue”.
The debate will likely rage across social media channels, so your chance to join in on twitter will best be served by using the hashtag #GoBackSBS. Whatever your persuasion, this will be a compelling series.
The show website, full of detail and resources, is a great companion for anyone wanting to dig further into the issue of refugees and asylum seekers. Also once aired the full episodes will be available to watch online.
Go Back To Where You Came From – Tue 21/6, Wed 22/6, Thu 23/6 8:30pm, SBS one.
I have enjoyed the program but to be honest i am saddened at the attidute of Raquel, she doesnt work, is a dole bludger who gets enough money to feed 11 dogs on cenrtrelink then she says “she is Catholic and its not my problem. ” Is this Christianity Raquel? your attitude and language is disgraceful to say the least. Dont think your local church will be impressed ! If you ever go that is. I doubt it.
Rae was a social worker, My God, im glad she wasnt mine with her attidude, how can a person be a social worker with that “way of thinking” Arent social workers supposed to help and assist people ? BUT she has turned the corner, good on you Rae.
Glenny you are balanced and understand different cultures, i was happy to hear what you said when you arrived in Malaysia about Raquels clothing. Ever thought about becoming Muslim?
May Allah guide you to the right path ameen.
Thank you SBS. Elevated program production and content. Loved the way the program let the women and men speak for themselves. Little attempt to ” push an agenda”. Wish there was more journalistic presentation on this level. Complex problems need time and space, and deeper thought, and in allowing the program to run its course with minimal interference, we could see the changes taking place in people’s perceptions of the world they were being exposed to. MORE PLEASE!!!!!!
