Different things...
A little girl boards a boat, a far from sea worthy boat, her Mum pushes her on the flimsy thing.
"Mother there is no room for us!"The little girl cries looking at the 50 or so on board.
Her Mother still pushes her on board.
Veilima looks down at the boat "Husband, where are we going?You said this would take us to another land, this boat will not go far!"
Her Husband just stares, his eyes glaze over,"Honey I did not know"....
Another woman boards a different boat in another land, the boat looks similar.
She is in a experiment, she gets her travel bags taken off her, she gets on this boat, she too does not know where she is going. She moans that she's sick when she's not, she argues with her fellow passengers, a few hours later she says she's gonna get off, there surrounded by water. She stays sullen for the rest of the day. Night comes and the boat takes on water, the others bail out she just stares.
Things get worse and fire breaks out in the cabin, they all put on life jackets. Just before they jump in a boat finds them.
In that rescue boat they see the director of this experiment.He tells them that the boat they were on was perfectly fine, the whole thing was rigged up. Some people get really anoyed, and say they're Australians, this shouldn't happen to them, they have rights!
This is all true, though I had to make up the first bit. The first people would become illegal refugees in Australia, the second people were in an experiment to see what the refugees go through. Most of those people were racist, like the woman above, or just annoyed that the Australian Government are spending money on refugees, they think that freedom is only for Australians, and as the woman above says later when they are watching people being rounded up because theyhave need to flee the country [this is in their native country] and being beaten up for it, she says the should being doing that in Australia.
How twisted are we?
That we think our brother should be beaten for his colour, for escaping from the worst the world can throw at him?
Something to ponder [and comment about :P]
