Australia2 years ago - I had no idea…
Honestly, I’m not surprised this podcast turned out amazingly, Jay’s other series “Shoes Off” was also hugely educational for me.
You Have Been Told A Lie is one of those podcasts that change your perception on something forever. There are so many layers of information being discussed, and they’ve managed to produce it in a way that doesn’t overwhelm the listener - which wouldn’t have been an easy task.
I had to wait for them all to drop before I listened, because I didn’t like having to wa... more
Apple Podcasts5BN0086Australia2 years ago - Such an important and heartfelt story
I binged all episodes of this podcast!!! Couldn’t put it down. Definitely cried, laughed cringed and was horrified at the story of this incredible, unbelievably resilient family.
As a second generation Australian, it’s quite excruciating to listen to Australia’s approach to :
a) refugee processing
b) the money. Is outrageous the privatisation of the dehumanising people in favour for profit.
Absolutely loved it. Exceptional investigative reporting and diligent work to bring it to the masses

No real explanation of why Priya should be considered a refugee when she went to Australia via a 12 year stint in India. Maybe some legal information or comparisons to other countries' policies on immigration where people are allowed (?) to claim asylum after living abroad for several years would have contextualized the issue.
