Although Do was only a toddler at the time, he grew up hearing stories of the escape and says it has strongly influenced his approach to life.

Biggest break The hardest [stand-up comedy] gig I ever did. There were 50 bikies in a pub waiting for a stripper - I was the warm-up guy. They were yelling ''Lady boy'' and ''Take off your gear''. I managed to survive that gig [in ] and every one since then has been a piece of cake. Biggest achievement Buying my mum a house. After moving 17 times, I really just wanted her to know we've made it - this is our place and no landlord is going to kick us out.

Biggest regret I liked a girl in first year at university and I didn't tell her for five years. I'm sure a lot of people thought he was there to do a comedy skit and were surprised by his story. As you know we had him for our MC as well and he did a brilliant job of this also. We would thoroughly recommend him to anyone. He certainly was the perfect choice for our MC and I was extremely happy that we secured him for the event.

Even more pleasing was his performance on the day and the friendly and relaxed manner with which he conducted himself. As MC, Anh was both entertaining and formal as the ceremony required. He got the tone and the balance of the ceremony spot on and is a very talented speaker. Simply Amazing!!! Anh Do is not your usual keynote speaker. He is different.

And what makes him different is the way he lives his life in the moment he calls "now or too late". Anh gets his audience to think about important strategies for success and demonstrates his ideas through his values and life stories. He makes people laugh and even shed a tear over what really matters. Only a very small number of these, about 2, people, came to Australia by boat.

A ustralia's migration policy. A ustralia has a long history of welcoming people who have lost their homes and livelihoods, especially through the devastation of war and harsh political regimes.

People have had to flee their homes because they fear for their lives, often because they belong to a political, religious or cultural group that is being persecuted in their country of origin.

A ustralia's permanent migration program is divided into two main categories:. Another Way is Possible by Paul Wallis. They were processed in Australia and Malaysia. Though the state of the vessels in which they arrived and the dangers of their passage were matters of great concern, nobody at that time thought to build policy platforms on the notion that our guiding prinicple should be the targeting of "people smugglers" ie those renting out the boats in order to stop the boats - as if that were to solve the problem.

Not only did we in Australia accept this rapid inflow of asylum seekers, but today no one could deny that our country has been cultrally enriched by this influx. At the time the significant inflow of refugees was managed without the need for a policy of mandatory or indefinite detention.

Families were not deliberately separated, or fathers deliberately deprived of sleep, or sick people deliberately deprived of their medicines, before shipping them back to the same danger they were fleeing. It was managed without the fear and politicking we see today. Because Australians recognised the need to deal compassionately with the aftermath of war.

Today those making a similar journey to our shores for similar reasons, be it persecution of Christians in Thailand, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, or Iran; be it civil war in the Central African Republic or refuge from dangerous politics in countries like Zimbabwe, find that the government of Australia has changed since the s in the style of "protection' now being offered.

Given the modest numbers it is difficult to understand why. But the testimony of our Vietnamese, brothers and sisters will remind us, if we will remember, that another way is possible.
