Show notes

While statelessness affects millions of people around the world, Australia also has stateless people.The United Nations refugee agency says there are around 8,000 stateless people in Australia, but experts say there could be more. The UNHCR is calling on the Australian government to create a stateless determination procedure (SDP), which would contribute to efforts to assess the size and the situation of stateless population amongst migrant populations.The fourth episode of Belonging Nowhere looks at Australia and how it deals with statelessness.
