On Friday 19th July 2013, it was reported in the Australian media that over 150 asylum seekers had rioted and razed the Nauru Regional Processing Centre to the ground. Australia's hard-line stance on asylum seekers is increasingly polarising the community and regardless of political stance, this haunting and eye-opening book is one every Australian should read in an era of increased secrecy around Australia's treatment of asylum seekers.. Asylum seekers, Nauruans and Australian security forces were involved in clashes that left many asylum seekers seriously injured. Both devastating and encouraging, Mark's vignettes of life on Nauru and interactions with the men on the island give readers a first-hand experience of the realities of 'The Pacific Solution'. Asylum seekers were arrested and placed into overcrowded jail cells with limited access to legal representation. For Mark Isaacs, who had worked with the men in the Nauru Regional Processing Centre over the previous 10 months, this riot was an inevitable outcome of a cruel and degrading policy. In the aftermath of the riot, Australian and Nauruan government officials condemned the actions of the asylum seekers. It is the story behind a riot. It proved that Australia needs harsher immigration measures to restrict the arrival of more asylum seekers. It was a reaction to a build up of injustices t
"I commend Mark Isaacs for his bravery and humanity." according to Joan Emberg. I have no hesitation in giving Mark Isaacs' 'The Undesirables: Inside Nauru' five stars.Isaacs worked as a counsellor in Australia's off shore detention center for asylum seekers on Nauru, a tiny, isolated, desolate and impoverished island. Therefore, he has an insider's knowledge of conditions and treatment. These desperate people from countries such as Sri Lanka and Iraq, flee war, persecution and possible murder, find their way to Indonesia and risk their lives on rickety, unseaworthy boats in search of a safer lifemany of them drown. During his time on Nauru, Isaacs befriends many of the prisoners and finds the majority of them to be or. 01Kitty_Kat said Don't hesitate - buy and read!. I had to read this book in small chunks. I loved it and I hated it. Loved it because it was a brilliant read, capturing the personal stories of the refugees, the feeling of the camp, the experience of the staff and the FACTS about the asylum seekers debate in Australia. I hated it because I could barely stomach the revolting manufactured system of punishment that the Australian government is conducting right under our noses and most people are not even aware. It would have taken great courage for Mark Isaacs not only to do the work but then write about it and RELIVE it again through the writing. What courage and strength he has shown. He ga. "Australia's Nauruan gulag" sally tarbox A very well-written and moving account by a young (secular) employee of the Salvation Army, who applied to work in an Australian camp for illegal immigrants on the tiny island of Nauru. Faced with major issues ourselves on the immigration topic, I think the scary thing for me was not so much Australia’s way of handling it (terrible though it is) but the veil of secrecy that is drawn over their activities. Thus the visa fee to Nauru is now $8000 – non-refundable even if you’re not granted one. “There was a complete media ban on camp operations”….”The Wilson guards monitored all people within the cam
