tony abbott stated that  "we (australians) only sleep safe at night because of the rough guys on our borders" no, i sleep safely at night because i live in a country where i don’t have to fear religious or political persecution, gendered oppression/violence, or a bomb being dropped on my house, as well as many other terrible things that asylum seekers and refugees are fleeing from when they get on a leaky boat and brave dangerous seas in hope of a better life. in fact mr abbott, i toss and turn because i know people are drowning and being cruelly detained for wanting a better life for them and there family, and because i know that there is a real chance you could be running my country.
