Manage this. Women’s voices on Income Management.
It’s your world – it needs your feminist thinking

6pm - Tuesday 31 July
Teacher’s Federation NSW - 23-33 Mary Street, Surry Hills

No matter what your stance is on Income Management, the role it has played in the Northern Territory and plans now in place to see it rolled out around Australia – it cannot be denied that women’s experience of the policy is central to the debates that currently swirl around the issue.

People smugglers they are not, lawful and heroes instead - we have to change the language

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Thu, 19/07/2012 - 1:02pm

Gerry Georgatos
The misappropriation of language and abuse of semantics in reference to ‘perceived people smugglers’ has to begin to change so we do not further erode compassion, and continue to skew the moral compass, bend and circumvent the rule of law- domestic and international.

A history of mandatory detention - presented by the Refugees Rights Action Network Perth

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Thu, 19/07/2012 - 8:31am

As part of the 20th year anniversary of mandatory detention, Refugees Rights Action Network Perth hosted a special forum examining the history of mandatory detention of refugees, the case against it and the role activism has played in challenging it. Guest speakers included activists who have been involved in the campaign for 20 years, who have seen the political and public landscape surrounding refugees transform into what it is today. The growth and change of the campaign against it was also examined.
