WELCOME HOME

 I came across a very interesting media item today which was interesting, informative and moving.

No, I'm not talking about Richard (of RBB)'s latest post about goats. I did say "interesting, informative and moving".*

While driving home from the supermarket (and recovering from the shock of a $531 Countdown bill for a trolley of grocery essentials and just a few treats!) I listened to a Jesse Mulligan interview with Deborah Manning, the human rights lawyer who spent nearly five years fighting to allow Ahmed Zaoui, a former Algerian MP  to come to New Zealand as a refugee in 2003.
 

This is an interesting (and informative and moving) interview and worth listening to. Here's the link:

Dave Dobbyn wrote and released a song relating to this. 'Welcome Home' is about refugees and had Ahmad Zaoui in the 2005 video.
