An Amnesty International researcher, who was recently in Nauru, says she cannot believe the Australian attitude to the asylum seekers and refugees.

Anna Neistat conducted research into the plight of the people being held in the Australian run camps on the island.

Ms Neistat spoke with Don Wiseman who began by telling him about the struggle to get onto the island.
