Australian reality show Go Back Where You Came From has entered its third season, and this year might be the most extreme version of the show yet.
The program, which is broadcast on the SBS network, took six participants and sent them to Syria, on the front lines of the battle with ISIS, in order to make a statement about Australia's immigration laws, picking contestants who are in favour of tightening border controls.
Kim Vuga, who was billed as possibly "the most racist woman in Australia" in the run up to the show, spoke to the Sydney Morning Herald saying that the experience had a profound effect on her. Vuga stated that they had been placed very close to the front line: "Probably the worst part was going as close as we could and knowing that their bullets could reach us. We were told to listen for any whistling sounds coming through the air and that would mean a mortar had been fired. We were told we had 30 seconds to run 100 metres".
However, Vuga staid that she has returned from the show with stronger views on refugees than before, but that she felt guilty when leaving the Kurdish fighters, who she believes have done the right thing by staying and fighting rather than fleeing.
"(If Australia were under attack tomorrow) I would actually stand up and fight, that's part of Australian culture," Vuga told Channel Ten's The Project, adding "If a country is worth living in, it's worth fighting for".
