PEOPLE POWER - The Fight Against Death Penalty

 

Time for a reality check! For all of Tony Abbott and Julie Bishop’s lecturing of the Indonesian government over the planned execution of two Australian citizens, it is worth recalling that, as late as the 1960s, Liberal state governments in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australian were still carrying out ghastly executions by hanging.

Save our oceans

When seasoned sailor Ivan Macfadyen returned from his last Pacific crossing he raised an ominous alarm:

"I'm used to seeing turtles, dolphins, sharks and big flurries of feeding birds. But this time, for 3000 nautical miles there was nothing alive to be seen.”

This once vibrant expanse of sea was hauntingly quiet, and covered with trash.

Free west Papua

What do you mean by freedom for West Papua? Where is it ? These are common responses by average Australians to a question “do you support freedom for West Papua”.

West Papua was occupied by Indonesia after the Dutch left in the 1960s. In a village in West Papua, a young Benny Wenda, watched as Indonesian military forced his aunt (and others) to wash herself by the river ‘ to clean herself up’ before she was raped. she had her baby ripped from her arms and thrown to the ground before she, was raped.. They both died.
