So, I’m off to Baxter deten­tion centre tomor­row to protest against Aus­trali­a’s man­dat­ory deten­tion policy that locks up asylum seekers against inter­na­tion refugee con­ven­tions to which we are sig­nat­or­ies. I’ll be back Monday… don’t know whether I’ll be in phone contact.

Does anyone have a digital video camera they’d be happy to lend me? Or a digital still camera that also takes video? Or even a P900 or other kind of ultra modern camera-phone? I prom­ise I’ll take good care of it. I’d need to pick it up by 5pm tomor­row (today – Thursday – for you) though…
