Author's note:
'Q&A' program, ABC television, 30 June, 2014. Michael Roche: 'Barely 3 kilometres from this building where we are tonight, a Tamil refugee named Leo killed himself by setting himself on fire because he was terrified of being sent back to Sri Lanka and of the fate that awaited him there. My 13-year-old and 10 year-old sons asked me who a person could possibly be pushed to take such an horrific, devastating action around the corner from where we live. I really struggled to give them an even remotely satisfactory answer.'
