and cthenthar, i'm going to try and head to baxter but i don't think finances will allow [just been back from o'seas and quite possibly going again this year]...specially since vsu will mean we won't get subsidised i think :(
That's the thing, the national convergence isn't at Baxter this year, it's at the Villawood Detention Centre in Sydney, or the out suburbs anyway.
So I wouldn't imagine it would be much trouble for you to go there. But yeah, the refugee collective in Sydney pushed for it to be at Villawood because it was where the main focus was in relation to detention centre, especially given that sine they are Chinese refugees, they aren't "genuine", as Australia sucks upto China, and hence there is no reason to seek refuge from there... So these guys essentially get ignored by the government (surprise surprise), but even more so then "regular" refugees.
Anyway, Villawood at Easter buddy. :)
