Description "Australia once seemed a more tolerant country - we took pride in the rich mix of cultures that made up the soup, we were in line with the civilised world in helping and accepting into our embrace refugees who had escaped from horrors that few of us can imagine. When our government discovered that an election might be won by playing on the worst fear of an anxious electorate, the fear of difference, our country changed. In Our Name is Company B's response to this sad turn of history."
