Remembering Tampa

Issue 

MELBOURNE — Five years after the rescue of 433 refugees by the Norwegian freighter the MV Tampa, 600 people formed a "human installation" on the footbridge over the Yarra River on August 26. The protest was organised by Victoria's Refugee Action Collective to call for an immediate end to mandatory detention and full rights for all refugees.
