Asylum seekers tell their shadowy stories


I've come to say thank you ... Christine Rau and author Tom Keneally outside the Baxter detention centre yesterday

Christine Rau travelled to Baxter detention centre for the first time yesterday to join authors Tom Keneally and Rosie Scott and launch an anthology of stories from behind the gates. Another Country, edited by Keneally and Scott, is a collection of stories written by asylum seekers.

Keneally has obviously some affinity with refugees. Schindler's List and now this.

And the Irish book..they were refugees from poverty.
