Dear Prime Minister Tony Abbott,
I take serious issue with what you presume on my behalf. You may "think Australians are pretty sick of being lectured to by the United Nations." However...
As an Australian, I am sick of political manipulation and abuse of
vulnerable people!
As an Australian, I am sick of the lack of accountability
by your government!
As an Australian, I am sick of your arrogance that
dismisses any credible report or review that exposes your blatant
disregard of human rights!
As an Australian, I am sick of our national values
being violated in the name of national security!
As an Australian, I am sick of hearing about how you have 'stopped the boats' when we continue to perpetuate the conditions that drive people onto them in the first place!
As an Australian, I am sick of hearing about how you have 'stopped the boats' when we continue to perpetuate the conditions that drive people onto them in the first place!
As an Australian, I am sick
of our country being misrepresented to the rest of the world!
As an Australian, I am sick
of misinformation and missing information dividing our nation about our
common humanity!
As an Australian, I uphold the value of a "fair go" and as a Christian I uphold the biblical principles of "justice and mercy." Neither of which are dependent upon where people come from, how they got here, or your government's political agenda!
Signed, a very unhappy Australian.
