Join us out the front of Minister for Immigration Chris Evans' office. 12.30pm Wed 24 March. 51 Ord Street West Perth. Despite the Rudd's government claim that they are "tough but humane" and the apparent focus on people smugglers the outcomes of official policy are clear. Christmas Island detention centre is becoming over-crowded. Incidents of self-harm are on the rise.

People who work in the detention centre and criticise the administration are likely to not have their contracts renewed. The regime is once again beginning to look like the punitive approach that was implemented under Howard. People smugglers are not being targeted here! The victims of persecution, asylum seekers are being targeted!

No crime to seek asylum
