The bombings in America are awful. But war and military action are no
solution: they simply mean more death, more destruction, more hatred, more
refugees. We need international social justice, not revenge. We need to
keep Australia from being involved in any military adventure. We need to
stand up against the racist abuse being inflicted on Muslim people around
Australia. And we need to stop the federal government using the American
crisis to justify locking up refugees.
