JOURNALISM: Immigration Protest

Protest Against The Unlawful Detention of Asylum-Seeking Children

I recently covered a story for Central Coast newspaper Ducks Crossing.

The protesters gathered in front of the Gosford office of Minister of Parliament Ms. Lucy Wicks to call for the end to unlawful detention of children in processing facilities across Australia.

The protest was organised on social media by controversial Gosford Anglican minister Father Rob Bower.

    it’s the government that’s breaking the law. locking up asylum seekers go against international law, and locking up children is illegal. it’s child abuse. all of it is so uncessary. there are other solution, but the government must find the most painful one, the most damaging one. the one that inflicts the most pain.
