When she becomes determined to expose what is happening, she disappears, leaving a journalist to investigate both her fate and the machinery surrounding the camp. Published in 2018 amid heightened scrutiny of Australia’s offshore detention regime, it is fiction written from a worker’s perspective rather than testimony by a detained person, with its sharpest attention directed towards complicity, moral injury and bureaucratic cruelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoseyRavelston, 2019.
