Tony and Wendy from Denman Aberdeen Muswellbrook Scone Healthy Environment Group (Dams Heg) respond to todays High Court of Australia decision that “Australia can no longer dig up coal, ship it overseas, watch it drive climate change, and then pretend the consequences have nothing to do with us.”

To every Australian banging on this morning on talkback radio about wanting ZERO migration, I concede. You can have it. As long as you are ok with the high chance of ZERO emergency medical care when you’re sick. ZERO aged care when you’re old. ZERO fresh food when you’re hungry.

Great to see reporting reflecting the lived experience of migrant aged care workers. Experiences of racism are, sadly, not isolated. We owe it to these workers, and the sustainability of this critical workforce, to tackle this issue more openly.
