PUBLIC FORUM THIS THURSDAY
BEHIND THE 'REFUGEE CRISIS':
alternatives to fortress politics & corporate globalisation
The reality of life in detention is becoming more known and opposed
every day. But what happens when we scratch beneath the surface of the
current debate. This forum asks what are alternatives to detention? What
makes people become refugees? What is behind "fortress politics" in
countries like Australia?
an open forum, speakers include:
RACHAEL EVANS: a long term refugee rights activist & member of the
Democratic Socialist Party Rachael will examine the alternatives to
detention. She will contrast Australia's current policies with a range
of approaches from overseas and Australia's own recent history
JORGE JORQUERA: Jorge's family were political refugees from Chile. He's
been a solidarity activist with Latin America, member of the DSP and has
been a key organiser of several anti-corporate protests. Jorge will
examine the nature of the third world today and the "creation" or
refugees. He will also give a brief overview of important struggles &
hot spots in the third world and how they impact on our campaigns here.
