EMMA ALBERICI, PRESENTER: Over the past 40 years, there's been a seismic shift in the attitudes of Australians towards asylum seekers. Researchers have found that we were much happier to accept Vietnamese boatpeople in the '70s than we are to welcome modern-day arrivals. In a new book called A Country Too Far - Writings on Asylum Seekers, 28 of this country's best writers have come together to tell often personal stories about those who've fled hardship in the hope of a better life in Australia. They want to help change the nature of the debate by humanising the faces of this international crisis.
Tom Keneally is one of the authors of the book and he's also co-editor. He's no stranger to the subject of people trying to flee persecution. He won worldwide acclaim and the Man Booker Prize for Schindler's Ark, which was later made into a Hollywood blockbuster, Schindler's List. Tom Keneally joined me here in the studio.
