A kid caught up in the Tampa Affair — Abbas Nazari remembers everything Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

It's Refugee Week and I wanted to share the story of Abbas Nazari. He was just a boy in 2001 when his family fled Afghanistan to escape persecution from the Taliban. They wound up on a rickety boat headed to Australia with 400 other hopeful asylum seekers. Shit got real when the engine stopped and the boat was stranded in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The situation became known as the Tampa Affair and it continues to shape our refugee policy to this day.

Read Abbas Nazari's book: After the Tampa.

Bronte Campbell reveals why "winning didn't solve anything" Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

You might have seen me 'pumping up' Bronte Campbell on Celebrity Apprentice, and why bloody wouldn't I? Bronte's an Australian Olympic champion swimmer who breathes determination, discipline and grit. As a kid immigrant she made a decision to become the best at swimming and that's exactly what she did. But becoming world champion didn't solve all of her problems and in the end Bronte realised, "maybe winning was not the point".
