BBC Correspondent 'Australia's Pacific Solution'
Blurb: "In September 2001, the Australian government hatched an extreme response to 400 asylum seekers rescued from the Indian Ocean - they called it their "Pacific solution", but instead of a new life, Australia effectively sold them to the near-bankrupt island of Nauru, thousands of miles away into the middle of the Pacific."
