As the new Australian Government moves to improve relations with Indonesia, the refugee advocacy group, People Just Like Us, is urging it to fix the messy and destructive refugee set up it has with Jakarta.
It wants to see the establishment of a "safe passage" for the nearly 14,000 refugees trapped in Indonesia, largely due to Australian policies applied the past generation.
Australia accepts just a few dozen refugees each year from Indonesia and People Just Like Us say
this has to increase dramatically.
A spokesperson for the advocacy group, Alfred Pek, spoke with Don Wiseman and began by detailing the elaborate scheme that Canberra has had in place Indonesia for 22 years.
