QUESTIONS FROM THE ASYLUM

NEW BOOK BY SUSAN CONNELLY

We had the good opportunity of reviewing Sr Susan Connelly's new book on Australia's asylum issues, Questions from the Asylum: An Analysis of Australia's Asulum and Detention Issues, Otford Press, 2002 (ISBN 1 876928 22 0).

This book is a collection of speeches delivered by Sr Susan at rallies and includes the memorable "Bleeding Hearts" speech at this year's Palm Sunday rally for refugees.

Sr Susan is a Sister of St Joseph and outspoken advocate of East Timor issues and change in our national culture towards more morality and principle in governance and character.

You can order copies (retails about $6AUD) from Otford Press (www.otford.com.au) or by contacting the Mary MacKillop Institute of East Timorese Studies <sc.mmiets@nareg.com.au>.

• Read her speech "A Fair Go for All" (not available in the book) delivered at the Tampa Day rally, August 25, 2002.
