Now for the first part of our series looking at Australia’s immigration policy.  Today we examine a controversial deal signed last week by the Australian and Malaysian governments in which the countries will swap refugees. Malaysia will take 800 asylum seekers who have arrived in Australia, in exchange for Australia accepting 4,000 of Malaysia’s processed refugees.  For more we go to Ian Rintoul spokesperson for Sydney’s Refugee Action Coalition.  Welcome to Free Speech Radio News!
