Cultural imperialism jailed Indonesian children in Australian adult prisons - and the prime minister's deaf ears

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Mon, 21/05/2012 - 11:54am

Ali Jasmin was 13 years old when the Commonwealth of Australia locked him up in an adult prison for being a deckhand on a boat of Asylum Seekers, and hence for assisting people in the safe passage of Asylum to our shores. International maritime laws and the various United Conventions and protocols asserting the rights of those seeking Asylum would cast this young boy as a hero, and rightfully so however not the Australian government and its institutions.

Did Jackson, Lawler and Abbott tangle Thomson with the HSU? Who else is involved and why?

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 18/05/2012 - 9:08am

Gerry Georgatos
The Craig Thomson and Peter Slipper dramas have been used to threaten the toppling of the incumbent government however whether this happens or not the dark pall of aspersions, the eerie shadow over Australian politics and the spheres of influence that are imputed to underlay the manifest of government and its orchestrations are increasingly deeply questionable to many folk - however what are the questions for there to be the pursuit of answers - where do we start looking?
