PNG: The forgotten neighbour | Two of Papua New Guinea's new generation of writers and thinkers speak about the constitutional crisis and the problems afflicting their country—one of which is Australia itself.

Today, faced with the hardship of living in the city, I’m more concerned with being able to survive each day. I don’t dream anymore, I am grounded in the reality. Perhaps there are too many visionaries and no one is there to deal with the reality of life in Papua New Guinea.' | 22 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The story of Ali Al Jenabi | In 1991 Ali Al Jenabi, along with his father and brother Ahmad, were imprisoned in Iraq's infamous Abu Ghraib. They were all tortured: Ahmad died and after a number of years Ali was freed, still not knowing the fate of his father. Ali, his mother and young sisters and brothers had to leave Iraq for their safety and ended up in Iran. Ali then went to Malaysia and Indonesia in order to get to Australia, then bring his family to be with him. In the end Ali entered the so-called people-smuggling business, managing to get ten members of his immediate family and many hundreds of other persecuted people to Australia. Ali was finally captured and tried in Darwin for the crime of people smuggling. On his release from prison he was immediately detained at Villawood in Sydney and, so far, his requests for asylum have been denied. | 7 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |
