Australia - the immigration debate
In the first of a three-part series about Australia, Stephen Sackur looks at the contentious issue of immigration. He talks to immigration minister, Chris Bowen.
HARDtalk is on the road in Australia for a three-part series.
The first programme looks at the contentious issue of immigration. Australia is a country built by immigrants, so why does the issue of immigration so divide and antagonise 21st century Australians?
HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur talks to refugees, asylum seekers, right wing populists, and the immigration minister, Chris Bowen, and examines the reality behind the fears of new waves of boat people trying to enter the country by sea. When it comes to immigration and race how deep do Australia's divisions go?
