Shownotes

It's early April, 2020 and we are stuck at home doing the Covid-19 lockdown thing. And then it dawns on us - there are people stuck here, in Australia, with bills, rent and all kinds of fees to pay, but no job, no government support, no family, no way to get home and not much to go home to.

Meet Raffy - student, bartender, future Australian. She'll respond to calls from our Prime Minister for temporary visa holders to 'go home' and explain why its just not that easy.

So, this episode we arc up about our Australian hospitality. Just a few weeks ago, these young 'global citizens' were our cash cows in a globalised economy. Now, it seems being a local is the difference between security and falling through the cracks.
