_____________________________
Ruddock is currently considering "using" illegal immigrants for fruit
picking. The only criticisms that the Labor party have raised involve
logistical and security concerns.
Amidst media hype about "hordes of boat people" and a bipartisan policy
attacking refugees ... who needs Hanson? Australia has some of the harshest
refugee laws in the world. In most Western countries once someone applies
for refugee status they are released into the community while their case is
reviewed. Here, thanks to the Labor party, they are detained, breaching
sections of 9.1 and 9.4 of the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights.
The Liberal's recent rejection of 1650 East Timorese asylum seekers,
despite the Australian governments complicity in the invasion and
occupation of that country, is the latest example of hypocrisy. Asylum
seekers are fleeing desperate situations: war, poverty and repression, that
have often been caused by foreign policies of Western governments.
We can not let our government widen the already huge chasm between rich and
poor countries. Reject their use of refugees: for cheap labour one day and
scapegoats for their economy the next... Demand an immigration and foreign
policy based on people not profits! PROTEST AGAINST RACISM! PROTEST
AGAINST RUDDOCK!
