PICKET RUDDOCK THIS FRIDAY - Last call for support for a picket of the
person at the centre of government sponsored racism in Australia, from
refugee detention centres to refusing to apologise to the indigenous people
of the Stolen Generation ...
5PM, FRIDAY 31 MAY 2002
Institute of Public Affairs
410 Collins Street
(between Queen and William Streets)
Philip Ruddock (Minister of Immigration and Indigenous Affairs), Andrew
Bolt (Herald Sun 'journalist'), and Bob Birrell (academic apologist for
Ruddocks' attacks on refugee rights), will be speaking at a "Dialogue on
Immigration" sponsored by the Institute of Public Affairs, a right-wing
think tank.
Ruddock is there to "separate some myths from reality". Bolt will talk
about the pro-refugee campaign "tactics and attitudes", while Birrell will
discuss "maintaining a distinctive and meaningful Australian identity."
The ONLY purpose of the meeting is to justify continued attacks on refugee
rights, and encourage racism and division in Australia.
Shut down this racist meeting!
