REPLAY: Gillian Triggs on Australia's refugee crisis

Global Questions

This is a throwback to the very first episode ever published on Global Questions! At the end of 2019, Gen interviewed Gillian Triggs, the former head of the Australian Human Rights Commission and current Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Gillian chats with Gen about:

• Australia's inhumane refugee policies;
• What the Commission uncovered during its investigation into offshore detention;
• How it felt being on the receiving end of personal attacks from the Abbott government; and
• Gillian's hopes for her role at the United Nations.
