Safe in Afghanistan

It still sickens me how Australia treats its refugees. We are responsible for the deaths of asylum seekers that we have forcibly or coercively deported to unsafe situations, and yet not that many people seem to care.

Interesting story from the Weekend SMH.

It's interesting especially since elderly retirees are traditionally huge coalition supporters.

Go oldsters and their 'help others' plan!

It is a huge disappointment that our government doesn't care, but is it a surprise? They barely listen to the people who pay taxes and vote let alone worry about the people who can't! Very impressed with these guys who instead of doing what I do (sit and whinge about how bad our government is) got of their arses to try and do something about it.
