“No borders, No nations, Stop deportations
Dismantle the detention centres
Freedom of movement for all”
Bondi Beach
Today I yelled at a racist in public and it was very good.
It’s not often the keynote speaker for an event doesn’t show up, but at Friday’s annual Human Rights Law Centre dinner, Behrouz Boochani was absent.
Not because he was running late or had fallen ill. Mr Boochani has been held in an offshore detention centre for the past five years.
In a speech delivered to guests from Manus Island, he condemned Australian political parties’ use of vulnerable refugees for “political profit” and expressed the view the Australian government was manipulating its people.
“Without a doubt, Australian governments have enacted an extensive propaganda campaign which centres on [national security],” Mr Boochani said via a pre-recorded video link.
“What should be a debate about people … has been deliberately poisoned to become a debate about borders and security.
“No one can ignore the fact that people have been killed and thousands of lives destroyed as a result of political power plays.”
Australia was a prison first
Our jailhouse girt by sea
We took the fences, turned them round
And said it made us free
Why Cassandra is not allowed to babysit Damian
One time when they were left at the manor alone, rather than go out on patrol (which she was specifically told not to let him do) Cassandra suggests reading. Damian complained but Cass was insistent and she picked a book about animals so he gave up (she’s harder to get away from than their brothers OR father) so they read Mr. Popper’s Penguins and Damian was made to stay indoors all night which, honestly, is an accomplishment.
So Bruce, hearing everything is going okay, asked her to watch him a few more days which she agreed to. He’s very proud of them for both staying home from patrol and is looking forward to coming home.
That is, until he walks into the room they, with the help of Stephanie, turned into a suitable penguin environment via that equipment he confiscated from Mr. Freeze last week.
The fact that the two penguins they were keeping in there were stolen from Penguin by Stephanie (Since Damian and by extension Cass wasnt supposed to leave the manor in costume) didn’t seem to make him any less angry though.
