Richard on Temporary Protection Visas
This government has tried to deny innocent people their humanity. It calls them illegals, it calls them boat people, but what it doesn’t do is acknowledge their humanity. The tens of thousands of people living in this country who have broken no law, who are here innocently, seeking our protection, are at breaking point. This government has introduced a practice that has taken away their most basic freedoms and liberties. We have created a virtual prison for these people.
These are innocent people. These are decent people who want to make a contribution to this country, yet here we have laws that treat these people as less than human. It’s about time that we, as a community, came together and recognised their humanity.
