Julian BurnsideGreat book Essential reading for all Australians who want to know how our gov't treats innocent people simply looking for a safe place to be: we put them in shocking danger and drive them mad. Probably not read by those devout Christians @ScottMorrisonMP and @Peter@PeterDutton_MP https://t.co/RxCIR3HvL6 (Source)
Meena KandasamyExtremely thrilled with #BehrouzBoochani freedom, and now is a great occasion to recommend his book on being illegally detained in Manus Island 's horrific conditions.

You're welcome! https://t.co/kDG9rwpr9p (Source)

Barry R MccaffreyA must read book by objective and professional journalists. Just picked up my copy. Did radio interview this morning on the RICK UNGAR SHOW about the scene in which Trump berates the JCS Generals in his first meeting calling them DOPES AND BABIES. Unreal. https://t.co/cinOBSBTbp (Source)
