LISMORE — Twenty activists from the new Refugee Action Collective (Lismore) occupied a roundabout on February 1 and set up a symbolic detention centre. Many passers-by responded positively. In the previous week, the Refugee Action Collective (Byron Bay) interrupted an official Australia Day ceremony in Mullumbimby to tell an appreciative crowd about the Coalition's abusive treatment of asylum seekers.
