Refugees and activists celebrated as 26 Medevac refugees were released from the Park Hotel in Carlton on January 20 and two from the Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation (MITA). The next day, 20 more were released from the Park Hotel. They are, however, keeping up the campaign so that the remaining refugees in the hotel prison and MITA are released and for all to receive permanent protection.
This episode of the Green Left Show looks at the reasons for the government decision to release refugees and the next steps in the campaign.
Participants:
* Amin Afravi (refugee detained at BITA)
* Sue Bolton (Moreland councillor & refugee rights campaigner)
* Chris Breen (Refugee Action Collective)

On January 12, Malaysia's king declared a state of emergency until August 1 in the wake of a spike in COVID-19 infections to a record 3000 new infections a day. However, many Malaysians suspect that this has little to do with addressing the pandemic and more to do with extending the life of the minority government under Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Green Left's Peter Boyle spoke to Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) Deputy Chairperson S. Arutchelvan (better known as Arul).

Green Left host Jacob Andrewartha sits down with long-time multimedia journalist and radio reporter Michael Fox to discuss politics in Brazil. The discussion focuses on far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, in particular his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and policy of environmental destruction, and the grassroots resistance to his government. Also discussed are the recent municipal elections that took place in November.
Fox is a former editor of NACLA Report on the Americas, former director of video production at teleSUR English, and a former steering committee member of the daily radio news show, FSRN. Fox has reported extensively from across Latin America for NPR, PRI’s The World, DW, The Nation, Business Insider, The Intercept, AJ+, TRT World, The Real News and numerous other outlets
He is currently working on a 11-part podcast series titled "Brazil on Fire" that takes listeners across Brazil to cover Bolsonaro’s rise to power, the motivation of his supporters, and the communities that are holding on, resisting, or trying to fight back. You can read more about the project here.

The Venezuelan national assembly elections on December 6 were significant for the dramatic win by the governing PSUV (United Socialist Party of Venezuela) with 69% of the vote compared to the 2015 elections which were won by the right wing opposition. Nevertheless there was an abstention rate around 70% which reflects some weaknesses for the socialist project in Venezuela.
This interview with Fred Fuentes unpacks the issues around these elections.

Amin, a refugee who came to Australia under the medivac laws from Manus, spoke to Green Left from BITA (Brisbane Immigration Transit Accomodation). He believes he was moved from Kangaroo Point hotel because he was organising with other refugees to protest their inhumane conditions. Others who came in the same boat have been allowed to live in the community, some have married and most have got on with their lives. Why is Amin and refugees like him still being held in detention?
