Call For Morrison To Be Ousted As Asylum Seeker Guardian
A Human Rights Commission has heard the Minister has a conflict of interests, as interned children have submitted poems reflecting their experiences in detention. Georgie Moore reports.
“Dear bird send my message. Send an image of my eyes - to Abbott - where tears are rolling like a river, send my heart full of sorrow, send my mind full of thoughts, send him images of why I came. Dear bird send my message. Send my emotions to Morrison who is enjoying my pain, who does not think that I am a human being like him, who thinks that I am just a number the waste of population.”
“I will tell them: I didn’t have a choice. When they say: Doesn’t it hurt you to remember? I will answer them: it is past. When they ask: What are you planning now? What do you want to be in the future? I will answer them: I am planning to live in Australia and I want to be a journalist. They will ask: what about if they send you somewhere else? And I will say: AS LONG AS BREATHE I WILL REACH MY GOALS”
