Panhandler Panahi

MELBOURNE, VIC. — Rita Panahi firstly claims in her op-ed that "a new poll revealed the majority of Australians believe One Nation is ready to govern." This poll was removed by 6 News, but remains on Sky and Murdoch print newspapers are using the inaccurate poll as 'the gospel truth'. It isn't.

What a Play about Refugees Can Teach

Actor Comfort Dolo played the character Helene in Mixed Blood Theatre’s production of The Jungle in St. Paul, Minnesota.  How do immigrants in refugee camps process their experiences, and how do the rest of us benefit from what they learn about cooperation? One way is through theater. Myah Goff wrote at Sahan Journal in April about the St. Paul Art Crawl and a refugee play presented by the Mixed Blood Theatre.

Ich bin kein Rechtsexperte und kann das nicht beurteilen, aber diese Praxis erinnert mich stark an die von Giorgio Agamben geprägte Figur des "Homo sacer". Im antiken Rom konnten Menschen für vogelfrei erklärt und legal getötet werden, was Agamben analog zu heute entrechteten Menschen wie etwa den Gefangenen in Guantanamo setzte. Er entwickelte diese These weiter mit der Analyse des Ausnahmezustands als heute immer häufiger anzutreffende Form staatlicher Ermächtigung.

Nach 9/11 haben die US-Streitkräfte Menschen in aller Welt im Rahmen des "Global War on Terror" entführt, gefoltert und ohne Prozess unbegrenzt inhaftiert, was durch den Begriff des "unlawful combatant" legalistisch gerechtfertigt wurde.

Das wurde damals zwar weltweit kritisiert, doch die Tendenz scheint eher dahin zu gehen, immer mehr Menschen zu ohnmächtigen Subjekten staatlicher Gewalt zu machen. Zweifellos werden Jurist:innen in den zuständigen Behörden dafür legale Titel finden.

So wird der Genozid in Gaza bis heute durch die Bundesregierung als eine Form der Selbstverteidigung für rechtens erachtet. Auch die neue Migrationsgesetzgebung der EU stelle die Rechte besonders vulnerabler Menschen zur Disposition und wird dafür allgemein gefeiert.

Text från #Lagrådet och dess yttrande kring proppen om förändrade asylregler som planeras att införas 12 juni:

"Det förefaller som om regeringen inte på någon punkt anlägger ett flyktingperspektiv eller ser till den enskilda människan."

Det är alltså Lagrådet!! som skriver detta med anl av regeringens avsaknad av mänsklighet [min tolkning] i lagförslag som ska röstas om på tisdag 9 juni (!).

I feel that this year’s #Refugee Week (15th to 21st June 2026) is more vital than ever particularly in my city of #Norwich.

We have experienced a lot of tensions and high profile court cases in the past year. But those that seek to exploit this and reject our status as a City of Sanctuary cannot be allowed to dominate media coverage on this issue.
