Julian Burnside QC on the Tampa Legacy


Title:
Julian Burnside QC on the Tampa Legacy

Description:
Julian Burnside, Queens Council, addressed a 6th anniversary commemoration of the Tampa Incident in Melbourne, Australia on August 26, 2007, next to the Sandridge Bridge on Southbank. After reading a statement by former Liberal Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, Burnside addressed the crowd in this speech attacking the Howard Government on Refugees, the Pacific Solution, apologising and reparations to aboriginal people, members of the Stolen Generation, and in expanding police and ASIO powers as an attack on our civil liberties and fair legal process. As well as Julian Burnside, a Wecome to Country ceremony was performed by the One Fire Dance Troup. Several other music and dance performances entertained the crowd. The event was organised by the Refugee Action Collective of Victoria, http://www.rac-vic.org
