Go Back to Where You Came From returns in August

Last year, six ordinary Australians challenged their preconceived notions of refugees and asylum seekers by experiencing a confronting 25-day refugee journey in reverse.

This year, the six people who will experience their own life-risking journey, with new twists and turns, are known to many Australians. They are all passionate, spirited individuals, with strong views and positions on the issues that Go Back to Where You Came From deals with.

- Angry Anderson, Australian rock music legend, conservative political activist and potential National Party candidate.
- Peter Reith, former Howard Government senior cabinet minister, including Minister for Defence from 2000-2001.
- Imogen Bailey, actress widely known for her role as Nicola West in Australian soap Neighbours, and animal rights activist.
- Allan Asher, former Commonwealth Ombudsman, outspoken consumer advocate.
- Catherine Deveny, writer, comedian and social commentator.
- Michael Smith, former radio shock jock with 2UE and 4BC.

The six participants will once again be guided on their journey by author and refugee expert Dr David Corlett when the series returns in August 2012. The three-part series will be followed by a special episode of Insight, hosted by Jenny Brockie.
