The problem is, many of them have lived their entire lives in Australia Greg Barns SC is a barrister who has represented multiple clients trying to appeal their deportation; and Taryn O’Dowd is a 41-year old woman living in Auckland after she was deported to New Zealand after living more than 30 years in Australia.

Coal mining employs around 50,000 people directly... so why does coal dominate Australian politics?! It came up again at the weekend’s NSW by-election where Labor got smashed and the Nationals were re-elected. Kosmos Samaras is a former Labor strategist and is a director at the political consultancy firm Redbridge. He provides a fascinating insight into why these electorates hold such massive influence. There are around 240,000 people employed by the mining industry in Australia. 50,000 in coal... but there’s 250,000 who work in arts and recreation - health care for example employs 1.8m but they don’t seem to be swinging elections as voter block... so what’s going on? The answer lies in a surprising insight into the psyche of rural Australia.
