CRUNCH TIMEIn Australia, there can be few people who aren't aware of the government's new policy of resettling refugees arriving by boat in Papua New Guinea. But is the message getting through to those desperate to reach Australia? On Tuesday's Dateline, David O'Shea travels to Indonesia to meet groups of asylum seekers who've already fled from Afghanistan, Iran and Myanmar and now want to make Australia home. Some of those that are well aware of Australia's stance just don't believe they'll really end up in PNG and are still prepared to take the risk. For others, there's confusion, which David finds is also present in the government, where some senior figures are not even aware of the latest policy change. With animosity growing too against the increasing number of refugees waiting in Indonesia, it's an insight into the world of people who feel they're not welcome anywhere.NORWAY'S NEW DAWNIt's two years since right-wing extremist Anders Breivik tried to wipe out Norway's Labour Party youth movement at a Summer camp. But that massacre has left some of the survivors even more determined to fight for their beliefs. In Tuesday's program, Amos Roberts visits the island of Utoya where 69 people died and hears the fear and emotion of those that were there that day. And of those survivors, more than 30 are now running as candidates in the upcoming election. One of them, Jorid Nordmelan, is poised to enter parliament at just 23-years old, in what she says is an opportunity to use her experience in a positive way.CAGE FIGHTING KIDSChildren's cage fighting is exploding in popularity in the United States, but it's also causing plenty of controversy. On Tuesday's Dateline, Thai Neave looks at the growing phenomenon, meeting the determined youngsters fighting to become the best with the enthusiastic support of their parents. It's estimated over three million Americans under the age of 13 are now involved in the sport, known as youth pankration, a junior form of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Surrounding it is a multi-billion dollar adult industry with fighting champions providing role models for a new generation. But the critics are fighting back too... youth pankration is banned in California and medical experts say despite safety measures, the risks shouldn't be ignored |
