AUSTRALIA IS A FUCKING JOKE I AM SO ASHAMED TO BE AUSTRALIAN TODAY

eryris:

free-booty:

Today our government passed a law which makes it illegal for medical practitioners to publish any reports on human rights abuses taking place in refugee detention centres.

It’s bad enough that our country imprisons asylum seekers, however now it is a crime with a two year jail sentence penalty to expose any mistreatment or abuse of any refugee in these detention centres.

These are places with children undergoing extreme child abuse, toddlers who are forced to live in a mix of shit and piss, where doctors arent even allowed to treat illness because the government refuses to supply “nonessential” drugs. 

We’re literally considered the worst developed nation in the ENTIRE WORLD in terms of human rights violations and treatment of refugees and our governent’s solution isnt to fix the volations, but to make reporting these a crime.

ALL Australians should be ashamed today, and if you don’t think this law is a problem, fuck you
