The RCH hosted a spirited #GrandRounds forum on asylum seekers in Australia for #RefugeeWeek. We were fortunate to be joined by former PM Malcolm Fraser and former Judges Alastair Nicholson and Frank Vincent to share their unique perspectives. Rt. Hon. Malcolm Fraser AC, CH was the 22nd Prime Minister of Australia, 1975 -- 1983. He was Chairman of the United Nations Panel of Eminent Persons on the Role of Transnational Corporations in South Africa and, from October 1985 to August 1986, jointly chaired the Commonwealth Group of Eminent Persons against Apartheid in South Africa. In 1987 Malcolm Fraser formed CARE Australia as part of the international CARE network of humanitarian aid organisations, he was Chairman from 1987 until 2002, and President of CARE International from 1990 to 1995. In 1988, he was awarded the Companion of the Order of Australia and in November 2000, Australia's Human Rights Medal -- for his contribution to the advancement of human rights in Australia and internationally.
