Spida gets a lesson on refugees in Sudan

Known for his strong views about people seeking refuge in Australia, 92.5 Gold FM’s brekky co-host Peter ‘Spida’ Everitt was invited to an unknown country with SBS to broadcast his live experience leading an open mind.

Knowing very little before leaving, Spida was thrown into remote Sudan, a place of war, violence, extreme poverty, drought and tribal wars which has displaced over three million people who seek asylum in countries like Australia.

While in Africa, Spida spoke to families about their hardships, helped with a food aid drop, heard stories of rape and violence, entertained the local children and sweated…a lot.

Although briefed on what to do in the event of a kidnapping or bomb, Spida made it home and sat down with co-hosts AJ and Bridge to tell the tales of his experience in Sudan, and revealed that it has heavily impacted his views on refugees in Australia.
