Labor for Refugees activists, after reading the many submissions to the Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers, were heartened to note that most of them were in accord with the aims of Labor for Refugees. However, when the recommendations of the Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers were announced and the Government issued its own statement as to which of these recommendations it would implement, it was apparent that the submission from Labor for Reugees, plus those of numerous other refugee advocacy groups, had been ignored. The question then arose, "How can we raise awareness about the many submissions that people have not heard about?" After consulting other refugee advocates, the decision was made to publish these submissions in a book. However, this book offers more than just the submissions. It contains thoughtful analysis and an update on a number of aspects of current refugee policy.

What has happened on Nauru and Manus since Australia began its most recent offshore processing regime in 2012? This essential book provides a comprehensive and uncompromising overview of the first three years of offshore processing since it recommenced in 2012. It explains why offshore processing was re-established, what life is like for asylum seekers and refugees on Nauru and Manus, what asylum seekers, refugees and staff in the offshore detention centres have to say about what goes on there, and why the truth has been so hard to find. In doing so, it goes behind the rumours and allegations to reveal what is known – and what still is not known – about Australia’s offshore detention centres.

Winner of Australia’s richest literary award, No Friend but the Mountains is Kurdish-Iranian journalist and refugee Behrouz Boochani’s account of his detainment on Australia’s notorious Manus Island prison. Composed entirely by text message, this work represents the harrowing experience of stateless and imprisoned refugees and migrants around the world. In 2013, Kurdish-Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani was illegally detained on Manus Island, a refugee detention centre off the coast of Australia. He has been there ever since. This book is the result. Laboriously tapped out on a mobile phone and translated from the Farsi. It is a voice of witness, an act of survival. A lyric first-hand account. A cry of resistance. A vivid portrait of five years of incarceration and exile. Winner of the Victorian Prize for Literature, No Friend but the Mountains is an extraordinary account — one that is disturbingly representative of the experience of the many stateless and imprisoned refugees and migrants around the world. “Our government jailed his body, but his soul remained that of a free man.” — From the Foreword by Man Booker Prize–winning author Richard Flanagan
