Refugee Rights Action Network - Western Australia

Synery Parkland, Kings Park, 26 January 2010 from 1:00 pm.

As Australia celebrates its national holiday and congratulates itself on the seemingly egalitarian society it has built, spare a thought for those refugees who have fled war and persecution to try and find a better life – a basic human right to which they are entitled. They find themselves now in limbo, stranded or imprisoned in either Indonesia or Christmas Island. If Australia’s celebrations are to be truly meaningful, to these people we should extend nothing more than “a fair go”.

Please come, if you can, to RRAN (Perth) Australia Day Action
Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Location: Synergy Parkland, Kings Park
There will be origami and please feel free to bring a picnic lunch

With road closures in Kings Park effective from 6 am this morning, the easiest way to get into Synergy Parkland for today's picnic action is to take the bike path that runs from the corner of Aberdare Road at the intersection of Winthrop Avenue/Thomas Street which will take you straight to the parkland.  It is only a short walk.

We will be making paper boats to float across the troubled sea (the lake) as a reminder to people. Just a calm little action to tweek a few consciences.
