*REFUGEE
CAMP IN YOUR CITY
Forty two million people throughout the world are either refugees or internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have fled in search of safety from armed conflict. In August 2008, following a successful 13-year run in 13 countries around the globe, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Australia is launching the first Australian tour of REFUGEE CAMP IN YOUR CITY. A recreation of a refugee camp and its facilities, REFUGEE CAMP IN YOUR CITY aims to create a better understanding of the vulnerability of life for displaced people and refugees who have fled their homes.
Free and open to the public, this innovative outdoor event is fully interpreted by MSF Australian returned field workers who have witnessed life in a refugee camp first-hand. Their free guided tours will educate and enlighten visitors on the experiences and everyday life of displaced people around the world.

* BAN THE BOMB CAMPAIGN (GetUp)
As the
international community is meeting in Dublin to ban
cluster bombs - that saturate the ground with
mini-bombs awaiting innocent civilians - our
government is going out of its way to frustrate the
process.
They're calling for their own stockpile to be
excluded - and for the treaty to be watered down.
We've got just a few scarce days left before the
fragile international agreement is drafted.
Sign the urgent petition today telling Kevin Rudd to
ban the bomb: no loopholes, no exceptions. |
