Trevor Eastwood presided over the growth of Wesfarmers from small farmer's co-op to the largest employer in Australia. A remarkable journey and an incredible achievement. The company that began as the Westralian Farmers Co-operative
listed on the ASX seventy years later, with the farmers co-operative, as the majority shareholder.
More to the Story looks beyond negative media reports, political speeches and fear-mongering statistics to tell human stories of refugees and asylum seekers in Australia. Rosemary Sayer writes with empathy and humility of her interviews
with refugees from Burma, Afghanistan and South Sudan. Together, they tell stories of persecution, violence and starvation; families separated for a time, or forever; the desperation of thousands in refugee camps, awaiting relocation under humanitarian programs; the perilous journeys by boat of those for whom waiting would have meant death; life in mandatory detention; and the challenges of starting over in Australia. None of these people chose to be refugees; all of them chose survival. A powerful, moving and inspiring account of human resilience.
