AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Little Johnnie is a best-selling allegory/satire based on the "Children Overboard' lies that were told during the Tampa crisis in Australia. The government of the day deliberately demonised asylum seekers in order to win and election. In the tradition of Orwell's Animal Farm, Little Johnnie and The Naughty Boat People can be appreciated by both children and adults.' (Publication summary)
