Any deviation from whiteness could trigger the seven most hurtful words that can be hurled at an immigrant: “Go back to where you came from”.


SBS has sent former senator Jacqui Lambie to the frontline of the Syrian war as part of a live TV event to begin on Tuesday.

Go Back To Where You Came From Live sees a group of Australians with a range of views on immigration get a first-hand experience of the global refugee crisis from different locations, including the battleground of Syria.

The show pairs Ms Lambie, 47, with 28-year-old Sydney immigration lawyer Marina, who came to Australia as a refugee of the Bosnian War.

Towards the end of last week, they travelled to the frontlines in the Deir Ez Zor region where IS is putting up a last stand.
