Key elements of stubborn, ineffectual "advocate"-lawyer strategising on #Manus



These appear to be the key elements of the stubborn, ineffectual, tightly controlled and highly choreographed "advocate"-lawyer strategising on the #Manus siege:

1. Only protest Turnbull-Dutton, and not the ALP, or other any individuals, NGOs or government officials who have played a role in the establishment and continuation of anti-refugee "deterrence" over the past few decades.

2. Persuade refugees to echo these sentiments in their social media posts and protest signs.

3. Push the talking point that the new "accommodation" is not ready, and only pursue legal action on that basis, instead of obvious remedies under the PNG constitution and international law.

4. Slander locals.

5. Beg NZ to redeem "offer".

6. Collaborate with media ghouls and despair inducing establishment human rights organisations to censor and/or diminish the men's demands for THEIR RIGHTS AS ASYLUM SEEKERS to freedom, justice and a safe country,

7. Encourage refugees to ignore and/or view with suspicion any "idealist" activists who criticise the ALP (particularly the anti-refugee Machiavelli Bill Shorten), highlight the global struggle against war and the brutalisation of refugees, and who are pushing for their FREEDOM and an END to the POLICY.


This is my view, and there's probably nothing we can do about it as outsiders, but it will not stop me fighting for these men.
