Manning Clark House Weekend of Ideas: photos!

All photos of the April 2007 Manning Clark event are by Freddie Steen, volunteer worker at the Romero Centre, Brisbane QLD.

Below is the collection of photos at the Manning Clark House sixth Weekend of Ideas, "A Fair Go for Refugees?" during the first weekend of April 2007 in Canberra's Manning Clark House in Forrest, ACT.

The conference, well attended by a couple of hundred people, featured a large number of high profile presenters associated with the refugee lobby. There are several pages about this 2007 Weekend of Ideas, and all other pages are listed and linked below.
