Can you help me with this listening exercise?
This is taken from an Australian documentation.
I've tried to transcribe it, with a few gaps.
Can you correct this transcription?
You can see the video along with the synchronised subtitles here,

The transcription is in the correction box.
Thank you.
Your transcription seems fine - the 1st set of question marks is where people are protesting and they say "Refugees are welcome here".
"Africans are everywhere, it's not an Aussie place anymore" (Aussie means Australian)
"When the boat crashed coming into Christmas Island, I thought serve you bastards right"
"I guess I am a bit racist, I just don't like Africans."
"It's one of the big issues of our time, so what better way to understand the refugee experience than by living it."
"I'm a bit terrified, it's not my country"
"Their beliefs will be challenged in extreme situations."
"A bit shaken up at the moment"
"Shut the f*** up!"
"I'll knock your f***ing head off, you f***ing .....(?)"
"Military everywhere, razor wire everywhere"
"I... I had no idea it was gonna be this full on"
"I can't see any way that I can get through this."
I found some other mistakes in the transcription which I have also modified for you.

Disaster has struck asylum seekers trying to reach Christmas Island.
I stand for stopping the boats before they leave foreign shores.
We must stop the boat.
Refugees, asylum seekers, boat people, issues that divide the nation...
???
But what do we know of those who risk life and limb to reach these shores?
Fifty people are feared dead...
Six Australians with strong views on this subject have accepted an invitation to take part in a life changing experiment.
I'm very apprehensive.
Twenty-five years of my life have been very very... eh sheltered
Africans are everywhere.
It's not a n??? place any more.
They're leaving their suburban life behind to undertake a dangerous refugee journey...
in reverse.
Volunteering for this unique experiment are Raye Colby, retired social worker from country South Australia
When the boat crash coming into Christmas Island, I thought serve you bastard drat.
Roderick Schneider, aspiring politician from Brisbane...
My biggest concern is being painted as a giant lefty.
Raquel Moore, unemployed from Western Sydney...
I guess I'm a bit racist.
I just ??? (maybe sort of laugh) at Africans.
Darren Hassan, businessman from Adelaide...
People who come here without any documentation by boat should be immediately expatriated.
Gleny Rae, a singer from Newcastle...
I think that we have the capacity to take, perhaps, more refugees.
and Adam Hartup, Cronulla lifeguard.
We are spending millions of dollars on housing these criminals.
Overseeing this experiment is refugee expert and Melbourne academic Dr David Corlett.
More than 30 million people around the world have fled their homes.
It's one of the big issues of our time, so what'd be the way to understand the refugee experience's then by living it.
For one month, the six Australians will be living the life of a refugee.
No need to be terrified. It's not my country.
Their beliefs will be challenged in extreme conditions.
A bit shake of a m???
At times, they will turn on each other.
Get the fuck out!
I'm not ??? fuck ??? shel?? ???
Ultimately, they will travel to some of the most dangerous countries on earth.
Military everywhere, ??? everywhere
Over the next three nights, follow six Australians on a journey that will change their lives for ever.
I'm really don't know how to feel.
Terrified.
I... I have no idea what is gonna be this k??? on
I'm hard to say anyway that I can get through this.
