The current border policies of the ruling elite are cruel, oppressive, revanchist. Last night we vandalised the offices of Simon Crean, Anna Burke, and Andrew Robb; they are complicit.
During World War II, my family attempted to flee German-occupied Europe and the Holocaust.
Countries, including Australia, turned away families like mine. I never thought I would see the day when Australia turned its back on people in need again and I'm determined to do everything in my power to ensure we don't repeat history's mistakes.

August 25, 2013 As the US prepares for military action in Syria, the reactions of Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott are entirely in keeping with previous ALP and Coalition failures to put Australian military forces before their own party alliances with Washington.
Australia needs to send emergency medical aid to Syria immediately and assist an independent assessment of the situation. It must not rush towards sacrificing its young soldiers on behalf of an ambitious foreign power before the jury is in.
