INTERESTED IN SOMETHING MORE?
Firstly Paul Fogarty, a regular reader of this bulletin, has suggested an informal ‘Justice in the Pub’ gathering to discuss what more might be done to promote awareness and change in relation to issues mentioned in this bulletin. So Paul and myself will be meeting at 'Bridie O’Reilly’s' (cnr Sydney & Brunswick Rds) on Tues Jun 7th at 7.30pm and would welcome anyone else who would like to join us for a chat. A separate email advertising this event is also being circulated.
Secondly the Christian Brothers/Presentation Sisters Justice Group is organizing a public forum on ‘Detention, Human Rights and Mental Health’ on June 18th from 10.00 a.m. – 3.30 p.m. at Presentation College, Dandenong Rd, Windsor.
Speakers include: Kate Gauthier (National Co-ordinator of the "A Just Australia" campaign), Harry Minas (Psychiatric Department University of Melbourne) and Sr Stancea Vichie (Asylum Seeker Project). BYO lunch. Tea and coffee provided. A donation of $5.00 is suggested.
