"I am convinced that if the refugees in Manus Prison were provided opportunities to form and present a different perception of our character, we would be able to challenge the system in much more profound ways. We could challenge the system with greater ease. But the reality is that Australia has done everything it can to ensure that we’re not perceived as this kind of character, not recognised as professionals, as valuable and insightful contributors to the discourse. The government has tried to suppress us because they know that if we were seen in this light, things would be different."
