For Megumi Ogawa, three years' study, nearly four more trawling through Australian courts and a stint in immigration detention topping 70 days. On paper, Ogawa is a university's dream: bachelor and masters' degrees in her native Japan, three years in Australia writing a PhD thesis in law and a 200-page manuscript picked up by an international academic publisher. Her book, Protection of Broadcasters' Rights, was printed this year with a foreword by former chief justice Sir Anthony Mason. He described Ogawa as an expert in her field and her research as an "invaluable contribution". But she can't submit her PhD thesis for assessment at Melbourne University, where she spent her final year of study in 2002 — it won't accept it. Fighting the decision has become Ogawa's obsession.
