On Asylum seeking... being honest, I used to fear boat people. I see now I was brainwashed into thinking they were queue-jumping terrorists come to steal our jobs, free-load and bring their negative culture to our apparently perfect nation. But how wrong this is. These people are desperate you know if you take a boat it is life or death. If you stay in (x country - Iraq, Iran, Sri Lanka as a Tamil, Afghanistan as a Hazara etc) you are sure you will die, and not just you, your family as well. say the asylum seekers. This is the plight of 99% of them. they all say we dont need anything. just freedom, justice, what is right for any normal human. I dont need someone to give me money. I have my job and I can work. The average wait in a United Nations refugee camp is seventeen years. This is a fact. I read the best book Ive ever read The People Smuggler and now am reading The undesirables: Inside Nauru by Mark Isaacs. It is opening my eyes and my heart to both the cruelty of our Australian Government, and by our ignorance and silence our complicit agreement. Asylum seeking is legal. Australia signed an international agreement, but want to flout that agreement. I feel that we need to know what Mark Isaacs writes about. The truth about it, not the propaganda. Thats my soapbox for today.
