- Abstract
- An obituary for Ignazio Salemi (1928-2004), the Italian-born journalist and migrant rights campaigner at the centre of a contentious dispute over his amnesty application in 1976. Salemi's controversial court action lasted more than 18 months and resulted in a passionate political case that put Australia's fair-go policy to the test.
