Australasian Spartacist No. 208

Autumn 2010

 

Correction

In “Full Citizenship Rights for All Immigrants!” (ASp No. 207, Summer 2009/2010), we stated that a 5 December Melbourne rally, “Let the refugees into Australia,” was organised by the Refugee Action Collective (RAC). According to their website, it was also organised by “other refugee advocates.” Our article also noted this rally “deepsixes even the usual reformist opposition to mandatory detention.” This statement correctly takes up the advertised rally demands albeit, on the day, RAC reportedly carried a banner “No Mandatory Detention” alongside reformist slogans including calling on Australian capitalism to “Process Refugees Claims in Australia.”
