I would just like to congratulate Zack Schofield on his great conviction and courage towards causes that really matter ('Activist says friends 'tasered, beaten', Newcastle Herald 23/5). At a time when too many Australians just want to sit on their hands and do nothing. People like him are the ones that make a difference in the world.
I can't believe the Newcastle activist and others on the flotilla got flown home again. Was that at taxpayer expense? Even a child knows not to make the same mistake twice. If they are not carrying a significant amount of aid, in my opinion they only make things worse. It seems to me that they put themselves in danger and then expect to be bailed out with no consequences.
