On the last Sunday of winter in 2001, far off Australias North West Coast, a fishing boat was sinking. So that we dont forget what happened then and what is happening now...History repeating itself. #Auspol #Ausvotes The decision to stop the Tampa was one of the most popular ever taken by any Australian government. So this film is also very much about us -- and the old dance of democracy between the people and our leaders. And its fundamental puzzle -- who is leading and who is following? A decade later, as we continue to grapple with the scenario of refugee boats arriving, and try to find a way to square the tricky issues of security, compassion and a good orderly migration process, it seems appropriate to look afresh at the story of 2001.
