when it comes to understand issues relating asylum seekers, refugee and educating the Australian public about diversity, harsh realities of people in war torn countries a lot more than the rest of the world

there is a huge debate in Australian society right now when it comes to the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, a prominent Australian TV network has created a program called 'Go back to your country' where they take 6 very narrow minded Australians with very strong negative views of refugees (much like the rest of the country) and asylum seekers that came to the country by boat or other means which are all either legal or illegal. Getting them to meet some refugees and asylum seekers and putting them through life changing experiences and making them take the same steps these refugees and asylum seekers took to get to Australia. The program has done so much for Australia in general because the whole country is talking about this issue right now and it already had profound effect on how average Australians see refugees and asylum seekers or even people of color in general.

It also turn the public against the government and the laws they have in place against refugees and asylum seekers.

The program is called 'Go back to your country' and you can watch the episodes on http://www.sbs.com.au

Thats nice, but somalis are without doubt worst ethnic group to contribute to their new host nation. A documentary was done in 2008 for the UK and proved this. Ive watched clips of how Australians say the same about somalis.

Yes its difficult to be a refugee, but Australia should welcome skilled refugees rather than some backward war-torn ninja looking skinnies who will milk their tax payers & stay unemployed for 30yrs.

Milking the country for 30yrs pales into comparison to becoming "first Australian suicide bomber" within five years of moving there....

Also when is Pauline Hanson expected to be in an episode.

White Australians should go back to Europe. They are illegal immigrants themselves who forcefully took the land.

Idiots probably think they are native to Oceania.
