Laurie, a comedian and radio and television presenter is called “an active supporter of asylum seekers”.

Everitt, a former AFL footballer, “believes refugees should only come in “the right way”, should work and offer something to Australia”.

Everitt also “thinks African gangs are a problem in Melbourne and worries for the safety of his daughters who live there”.

The celebrity trio will be joined by three ordinary Aussies — Steve from Adelaide, Gareth from Bathurst and Dannii from Townsville.

Meshel Laurie is an active supporter of asylum seekers.

Steve, 41, is a prison worker and anti-refugee provocateur “who thinks Australia’s stop the boats policy is effective” and that “refugees in Australia are country shoppers who head to Australia for economic reasons”.

Gareth, 29, is a theatre student with mixed views who believes “indefinite detention is not humane” but “we can’t just open the floodgates and need to protect our borders”.

Dannii, 24, is a young conservative who works at her local church and “thinks our current policies are spot on and shouldn’t be altered”.

Ray Martin will be based in SBS Sydney studios for Go Back to Where You Came From Live.

SBS is set to announce more participants and the global locations they will visit in coming weeks.
