THE PEOPLE SMUGGLER, ROBIN DE CRESPIGNY, PENGUIN VIKING, 2012
By Jenny Haines
This is an important book in the debate about refugees, asylum seekers and people smugglers. It should be read by all members of federal parliament, some of whom stood weeping in parliament during the debate on asylum seekers in 2012, and then allowed the reopening of the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres to add to the misery they claimed to be so concerned about.
