I can't go to any rallies as i live a long way from capital cities.


I guess all we can do is sign as many petitions as we can. Write to our local member. Try and get 'A Current Affair' to do some kind of sob story on it.

And POST, and keep posting wherever you can, as often as you can.

I for one do not wish to live in a country on par with some of the world's worst dictatorships.
