Public meeting
WHAT HAS THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT GOT TO HIDE?
WHAT HAS THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT GOT TO HIDE?
Whistle blowers speakout about Nauru and Manus.
Speakers include:
* Professor David Isaacs (Paediatrician on Nauru in 2014)
* A former teacher at the Manus Island detention centre
and others.
The Australian government wants to hide the human cost of its brutal refugee deterrence policies. Detention centres are built in the remotest places. An application for a journalist visa to Nauru costs $8000 and no refund is available if rejected. The Border Force Act threatens detention centre workers with two year jail sentences if they speakout. But people are defying this Act and are speaking out about the “torture like conditions” they’ve witnessed. Please come to this meeting and hear their first hand accounts.
Followed by Q&A and nibblies
