This is a photo essay on asylum seekers who were not admitted into Australia and are now building their lives in Indonesia. This is the farthest thing I can imagine from a life of deprivation, as the home pictured ought to suggest. If you are endangered, as an asylum seeker, you stop at the first place that will harbour you. Trying to move on from there turns you into an economic migrant. It’s an instructive story, but the story it tells may be different from the one that was intended.

How have they been able to afford all of this is the kind of question I would really liked to have seen answered.
