The New South Wales Government will hold a 21-year-old climate and refugee activist in a detention centre for a month after he protested against the Federal Government’s inhumane treatment of refugees. It says an awful lot about what the government thinks of activism and the harsh conditions refugees face in this country.
Blockade Australia activists Arno, Tom and others shut down the entrance to Port Botany in Sydney last Tuesday. They were demanding the government free the refugees, asylum seekers and other detainees in detention centres.
