Welcome home. With a Labor victory at the 2022 federal election, we join the family as they return home to Biloela. It’s a teary, frantic, and joyous reunion for them, but what does this mean for other families like the Nadeslinagams? Is Labor’
Everything is riding on the 2022 federal election. The LNP have held firm that the Nadesalingams would not be returning to Biloela, and no special visa would be granted to them, but the Labor Party has made an election promise to return them to
Another deportation attempt is made, but this time, more people are following their story. Supporters drop what they are doing and dash to the airport to help. Campaigners jump the fence and get arrested. Nevertheless, the family are separated
Early one Monday morning, having spent three and a half years building their life in Biloela, the Nadesalingams are forcibly removed from their homes, thrown into white vans, and flown to a detention centre in Melbourne. The family are told the
It was conventional British colonial policy to look for minorities in colonised territories to use them where possible as the administrative class. Minorities, like the Tamils in Sri Lanka, tended to be more amenable to be used in this fashion
Nades says he couldn’t sleep when he arrived on Christmas Island. The beds felt like they were moving just like the boat he arrived on. Priya started to feel scared as other asylum seekers around her were being removed by SERCO guards with thei
The Nadesalingam family captured the hearts and minds of people across the world when they were ripped from their regional Australian community of Biloela, but there’s more to this than a heartwarming story. This series will explore the social
Our trusted newsreaders have always been there, from when Lady Di passed away, to when the world was forever changed on 9/11. But who is telling you the biggest stories of the day? And why is it important that we see representation in TV news?W
"Just get on with it" seems to be the mentality of a lot of refugee families, so we often don't get to hear their stories. In this episode, one daughter of refugee parents is determined (but a little scared) to share her parents' journey to Aus
Derogatory or alienating racial comments and actions are something most people of colour have experienced in Australia. From "ni hao baby" to being glared at for slurping your pearl milk tea, it's often quite paralysing, and it's hard to know w
Are your parents awkward with hugs? Do you find yourself more comfortable greeting people at a distance, rather than a kiss on the cheek? It's fairly common for a lot of Asian parents to not express their affections physically. Why is this the
Do you remember the books you had to read in school? Did you find yourself constantly having to put yourself in shoes far outside of your experience? Author Rebecca Lim remembers this all too well, and hoped things had changed since her daughte
Asian men as a group have it kind of rough when it comes to sex and relationships. They're often less desired than most other racial groups, and have been associated with a lot of emasculating stereotypes. How did we get here? How does it affec
The fetishisation of Asian females is a concept I think we're all at least aware of. But why is it even a thing? Where have these stereotypes of East Asian women come from? How do they affect East Asian women? And how can we move forward?Websit
Yepp, we're back. It's been another big year, and there's no shortage of exciting things to talk about, so let's get into it.Website: https://www.shoesoff.net/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShoesOffAu/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sh
Caste discrimination is one of those things that you can only understand if you have lived it. Many South Asians have been on the receiving end of caste discrimination, but similarly, many South Asians in Australia have perpetuated oppressive c
Some of our best comedians of colour often use their race as part of their jokes, and stand up comedy has this unique ability to talk about race in a way that’s less confronting than other methods. How does comedy do this? When can this be perh
A lot of us who grew up here probably didn’t learn our mother tongue properly, and maybe we regret it as an adult. Well today I’m bringing you the story of one person’s journey of learning Chinese again without being forced to by his parents.We
It’s often talked about how mixed race people are the race of the future. The numbers of mixed race people are growing as our world becomes more globalised, and today I want to explore how their experience can be quite different because they’re
When we think of what good Asian food is, quite a specific image comes to mind. Perhaps a place that is poorly decorated, or where the wait staff just want you to order and get out, or a place with 100 (or more) items on the menu. Or maybe it’s
Food is so much a part of our lives, and even more so for many Asians. Some are the biggest foodies out there, and although a love for food isn’t uniquely Asian, there are definitely elements of the culture around food, and the way some Asians
What does Australia look like without international students? What was once a hypothetical question is now the reality as Australia’s travel ban extends indefinitely due to COVID-19. But beyond statistics and numbers, what does it look like to
Crazy Rich Asians. This 2018 blockbuster is, in the words of director Jon M Chu, “not a movie. It’s a movement.” So many of us diasporic Asians flocked to cinemas to watch this film. But why was it so important? Why does representation matter,
2020 has been an…interesting year. Race has been at the forefront of a lot of news, discussion, and our own lives. And as Asian Australians there’s never been a better time to learn more about how race, and culture influences our experiences. A
