Operation Secret Borders

'What we don't know, can hurt us’

Liberty Victoria's Young Liberty for Law Reform (YLLR) has released a report shining a light on a dark corner of our democracy.

The panel is moderated by journalist, producer and presenter, Ms Anita Barraud and feature Maurice Blackburn lawyer, Mr Jacob Varghese, Melbourne University academic and author, Dr Suelette Dreyfus and Manus Island whistleblower, Mr Rod St George.
