I’m having an interesting time trawling virtual and dusty papers from that fun period of 2002 - 2006 when immigration detention activism was all the rage. Do any readers know of/have any critiques from that time (within loosely ‘anti-detention’ activism/debates) regarding the work of groups like ChilOut and the Circles of Friends?
Just to lower the tone a little now that there is, all going well, only three months left for this blog.

“Melbournians think they’re so good with their nice art galleries and everything. But we’ve got race war and finance capital”

*I am SO jealous that I have never thought of doing this, especially smack bang in the midst of my rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood (which, consequently, bears many signs of race war and finance capital).
*Of course, by TMK I mean Those Meddling Kids, as last seen here - not Trupat e Mbrojtjes së Kosovës.
