Writers Live - Madeline Gleeson introduces Offshore - Behind the wire on Manus and Nauru
2nd Jun '16 @ Berkelouw Mona Vale
You are invited to meet Madeline Gleeson when she introduces her new book Offshore.
What has happened on Nauru and Manus since Australia began its most recent offshore processing regime in 2012?
This book provides a comprehensive and uncompromising overview of the first three years of offshore processing since it recommenced in 2012. It explains why offshore processing was re-established, what life is like for asylum seekers and refugees on Nauru and Manus, what asylum seekers, refugees and staff in the offshore detention centres have to say about what goes on there, and why the truth has been so hard to find. In doing so, it goes behind the rumours and allegations to reveal what is known – and what still is not known – about Australia’s offshore detention centres.
Join us at 6.30pm on Thursday June 2nd, 2016 when Madeline Gleeson introduces Offshore at Berkelouw Books.
