At around 2.30pm every day, Ismail Hussein wakes up and looks out the window of his small room in the Park Hotel in Carlton.

In November 2013, he came by boat to Australia. Under the Abbott government’s policy to never let boat arrivals stay, he was detained on Manus Island where, in 2016, he was given refugee status. In 2019, he was brought to Australia under the medevac scheme and since December 2020, Hussein has lived at Carlton’s Park Hotel trying to “survive another nightmare”.

Hussein seldom sees the other refugees. The thought of socialising is depressing because “there is nothing to talk about”.Earlier this month, Hussein’s routine was thrown by Djokovic’s detention at the hotel, which took place while a series of court cases sorted out whether he could play in the Australian Open.

Somalia has been in civil war since 1991, when the regime of President Siad Barre fell. From 1992, many Somalis sought asylum in Australia. Melbourne is home to the largest Somali population in the country, with about 7000 Somalis living here. The cases of the men were similar to Hussein’s. Like him, they had sought asylum by boat and been told they would never be allowed to resettle in Australia.Responding to questions put to Home Affairs minister Karen Andrews, a department spokesperson said it did not comment on individual cases and its “border protection policies remain steadfast”.

“It is very inconsistent … it is entirely in the hands of the minister to decide whether Ismail gets a visa. It is just like God”, she says.

Look - good luck to them. But to call anything put out over the last 20 years as ‘funny’ or ‘comedy’ is stretching it. The Brits do comedy. The Yanks too. Not us. Wouldn’t get off the ground these days because of its toxic whiteness.
