"It's not a crime to ask for help. But it is a disgrace not to even listen."

I wonder how many of the people creating refugee policy have even met any Asylum seekers?

Tony Abbott auctioned off a surfing lesson for charity a little while back, and Get Up members raised $16,000 to win the auction so they could give the prize to some young refugees, so they would have a chance to talk to Abbott in person and explain their situation. Apparently his office said they would arrange this to happen before the election, but they kept postponing setting a date. They've stopped returning Get Up's calls.

As Bartlett says here, "It's not a crime to ask for help. But it is a disgrace not to even listen."

Please watch this video and listen to this young boy.
