I want everyone to know about the Border Act 2015 which makes it illegal for anyone working in the Naaru detention centre to talk about anything they see there to anyone who is not the government. If they do they can face up to 2 years in jail.
All these doctors, social workers and teachers can’t report any of sexual abuse or child abuse that we know is going on there or THEY WILL GO TO JAIL
the Abbott Government moves closer to a dystopian tyranny everyday and I’m scared and ashamed of my country
“Under the Act, it is a criminal offence, punishable by imprisonment of up to two years, for any person working directly or indirectly for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection to reveal to the media or any other person or organisation (the only exceptions being the Immigration Department and other Commonwealth agencies, police, coroners) anything that happens in detention centres like Nauru and Manus Island.“
“The Act not only criminalises whistleblowers but those such as medical professionals and teachers who believe they have an ethical duty to report physical and mental harm that occurs in a systemic fashion.“
