Baxter protest 2005
From 2001 to 2005, the mass detention of asylum seekers was at the centre of Australian politics. Refugees protested, spoke out, and rioted inside the detention centres. Thousands of protestors travelled to the detention camps in solidarity.
This footage from the Easter 2003 protest at Baxter immigration detention centre features Melbourne band Disclosure Project (with Russell Smith) performing at a Rock Against Racism at the protest, protest footage and a blistering speech from Tanya at 13:05.
