Australia gave me the freedom :
- to use Google & Yahoo
- to go onto Facebook and Youtube
- to go onto the internet and read news from around the world
- to think for myself and speak my mind
We all worry about the safety of our family and friends.
We want the best for their future.
But mothers in those refugee camps want the same thing for their children too.
Just because bad people MAY smuggle in with other refugees, do we kill off all hope for everyone?
Skilled migrants - if White Australia Policy is still in place, no Asian will be allowed to migrate here.
A lot of Australian with middle eastern background are migrants after World War II.
Whether people are migrants or refugees, we have all received support from Australian government, even if it is the basic Medicare / baby bonus / family benefit / access to public transport road water and electricity etc.
Are we all not making our own contribution now to Australian society?
Can we judge them all now, and say refugees and their children will forever be a burden to Australia?
