Escape game wires the minister By Sean Nicholls April 30 2003 It's a dose of virtual reality that the Immigration Minister could probably do without: a computer game in which players try to escape from Australian detention centres has received $25,000 in federal funding. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/29/1051381951157.html The policy of mandatory incarceration of refugees has divided Australians, and led to violent protests equalled only by the anti-Iraq invasion protests. Refugees are locked up in desert high security prison camps, or fired upon by Australian military vessels on the open seas. Their crime is coming to Australia to seek a better life.
