Public Shaming of Ruddock – at the Toxteth 

Issued by Seekers of Justice 

The Public Shaming of Howard-era Minister Philip Ruddock will go ahead this Thursday July at 6pm at the Toxteth Hotel, 345 Glebe Point Rd, Glebe.

This despite a nasty phone call from one of the organisers of the event at which Ruddock is hoping to speak.

 PLEASE NOTE: Protesters have no axe to grind with the organisers of "Talking Heads at the Toxteth" (other than that they invited a war criminal and refugee abuser to their event, and were extremely rude on the phone!).

 Ruddock is the subject of protest, not the event itself.

An urgent call has been made to pressure the Immigration Minister, Senator the Hon. Christopher Evans, to act supportively to Afghan asylum seekers who have been warehoused in Indonesia since 2001. This number includes families and children who have waited 6 long years for protection. Some were on boats which the Australian Navy pushed back and some registered with United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and waited and waited.....
