GOOD NEWS!!


I just found out that my long-time incarcerated Iraqui pen-pal, Mohammad Afaisal (what else?!) has been released from Nauru and is in Brisbane!! I'm SO HAPPY for him & I hope & pray that he will settle in quickly and be able to make a life for himself. To be living so long without hope must be soul destroying. My government's policies on immigration and refugees sicken me, but I won't be around for the next election so there's not much I can do about it.
Still, its one small victory for Mohammad and his loyal friends here in Australia. Aparently there is going to be a story on him on tonight's 7.30 report, a current affairs program that airs on our government network, the ABC. I will have to tape it for posterity.
It has made my day!
