February 12, 2002 - Opening of Parliament convergence of refugee activists
Plans are underway to converge at Parliament House in ACT (from 8am) to highlight Australia's rotten refugee policy. The idea was originally floated by Rural Aust for Refugees and seems to have been taken up by the NGO network and the Greens. The bulk of the activities are scheduled from 12-2pm. It seems that the NGO network is preparing stunts aimed at grabbing media attention - including a mock trial. Activists from all over Aust can show the polies we'll be following them!
