Dear director and producer! I sadly missed your film, but will definitely get a copy of it. My friends told me Wahab featured in your doco. When he was detained at Villawood my friends and I met him every week as volunteers through a Sahaja Yoga meditation programme which we ran there. He sent me some emails since his return, but I have not heard from him for some years now, and would dearly like to make contact with him again. Perhaps you are not at liberty to disclose his address to me, but if you can help in any way it would be much appreciated. Best regards Lene Jeffrey

On the same topic... A book called "Sending Them Home" by Michael Corlett is a travel log with a difference. It documents the attempts of PHD attempt to trace the experiences of a dozen (or so) individuals who where forcefully removed from Australian shores. Informative, thoughtful, and moving. The kind of stuff that changes minds. Cheers all. Keith.

Supporters and advocates of refugees and asylum seekers during the Howard years are among the most traumatised people I know other than the refugees themselves. Having met Philip Ruddock personally to suggest alternative forms of detention and plead a number of specific cases I know from his own words that he believed he could outwait the detainees on his own terms: Eventually they would have to give in and go back. In too many cases he was right. Like Phil Glendenning I tried to find the people we lost and in many cases found they were dead. My own trauma since then has brought me to realise you can't come close to evil without being poisoned by it. Be strong all of you good people who have worked so hard, and thank you Phil Glendenning for your brilliant expose.

I was appalled by the lies deceit.'A Well Founded Fear' was heart breaking,disturbing,and brilliant.I am a fifth generation Australian,white, and so ashamed of what has happened to the people from Afganistan and Iraq.Was this cruelty perpetrated in the name of "protecting our way of life"?The men in the program were decent family men wanting what we all want. Closer to home,we need to find an accepting community for the Muslim school in Sydney.We have Catholic,Jewish,Seventh Day Adventist,Steiner schools etc...Compassion is contagious and so is hate.Lets stop the alienation of Muslims. Thankyou ,November Films for your intelligence and bravery Regards,Angela,Midwife (Lane Cove)

Excellent film. How many of those returned, did so safely? It is time to expose the public servants who were complicent in these practices. They cannot claim to be doing what they were told(nuremberg defence). if this is to be stopped in future the public service must bear responsilibity for enacting morally bankrupt if not illegal practices.

Has Australia got a case to answer in the international courts for crimes against humanity, especially in the case of Mohammed Hussain?

What can I do to help support your case that you are to put forward to the Australian Government and the United Nations?

having traveled to many Islamic countries & experienced to magnificent hospitality of Islamic culture I do not call myself Australian anymore due to the pogrom inflicted on Islamic people by jack-boot johnny and his gestapo just as the German people were ashamed of the Nazis. you bastards will be judge by history and hopefully by a jury.

Hi Phil, Good documentary. Thank you for the insight. I just wondered whether there have been any attempts to get comments from any of the officials at DIAC?
Posted by Peter on Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Thank you for producing a brilliant expose of our previous government's values on human life. I only hope that the current regime will lead us out of the Dark Ages we've just experienced. Your right Phil, this country has lost it's sense of humanity .... it's saving grace is that people like you and Anne have not.

I had a daughter in year 11 in the year of the Tampa. She tried to speak up and was bullied and picked on at school. I wanted to leave Australia. We were lucky enough to have choices, but these poor people that you have represented in this documentary had no choices. Surely the ministers and the prime minister of the time should still be accountable ..... surely we should pursue justice and make them accountable. Thank you for this documentary ... thank you, thank you. And thank you to the amazing Mr Glendinning.

Based on last night's ABC Radio National's "Late Night Live", this film places a mirror up to the claim of an accepting, open and tolerant society that we would believe Australia to be, and see back a Dorian Grey replica - deformed, closest and hideously deformed society, who is anything but true blue, and more concerned about themselves, that the mates they've yet to meet.
