In coming to Australia none of them knew that their painful journey wasn't at an end, but could continue indefinitely at the discretion of the Australian government. These first-hand accounts describe the harrowing events that led them to flee their countries and their experience of the Australian detention system and the impact it has had on their physical and emotional well-being. Asylum also deals with Australia's perception of asylum seekers, how the media perceives them, why the issue has polarised a nation, and how the protest against the treatment of asylum seekers has exploded over the past twelve months.
