Held almost 10 years to the day from when the MV Tampa rescued 433 asylum seekers in the Indian Ocean, this year's Law and Social Change Dialogue will discuss those events, the legal interventions that followed and the current state of Australian laws and public debate on refugees and asylum seekers. The dialogue will feature prominent human rights lawyers Julian Burnside QC and Debbie Mortimer SC. Renowned journalist David Marr will contribute his perspective and moderate the discussion.
6:15pm (for 6:30pm start). Experimedia Centre, State Library of Victoria.
