The dishonorable Minister for Home Affairs, Immigration and Border Protection was invited to speak to the right wing āthink tankā Gerard Hendersonās Sydney Institute on May 16. A group of determined refugee activists turned up to greet Dutton when he arrived.
Activists spoke and chanted about Dutton's lies, racism and double standards: from his calls to favour white South African farmers, to his accusations that black African Commonwealth Games athletes are "gaming the system", his lies about the people on Manus Island and Nauru, his calls to cut migration due to a lack of government services, to the budget's further restrictions on refugeesā access to social security and job seeker services.
Activists also performed a version of Pink Floyd's classic Another Brick in the Wall:
"We don't need no Peter Dutton
We donāt need no border controlĀ
No double standards with South African farmersĀ
Dutton leave refugees alone
Hey! Peter! Let refugees come hereĀ
All in all youāre just a racist Queensland cop
All in all youāre just another prick with a drawl."
The refugee rights movement has vowed to hound Dutton to the next federal election, when hopefully he will be thrown out on his [potato] ear.
