In 1998, human rights campaigner, Jim Aubrey, was condemned in Australia’s federal parliament at the same time he was invited to address the US Senate Congressional Foreign Relations Caucus on East Timor, and that’s the tip of the iceberg. Now, after an absence of almost twenty years, Jim Aubrey is back with 20 Dead Canaries & 1 Song of Love, to be published by Boolarong Press in November 2021.
