Australian Greens candidate Anna Reynolds launched the ‘Not in my Name, Not with my Vote’ campaign today ( http://notwithmyvote.com.au/ ), giving people in Denison a chance to stand up and say that their vote won’t support the old parties’ race to bottom on refugee cruelty.
Anna Reynolds said voters in Denison were shocked and angry at the approach to refugees being pushed by the Labor and Liberal party.
“Voters in Denison feel let down by the old parties and their desperate race to the bottom on refugee cruelty,” said Anna Reynolds.
“This new campaign is about giving voters in Denison a platform to stand up and tell Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd that cruel deterrence doesn’t work and they won’t stand for it.
“The Greens are giving Australians a way to stand up for the idea that instead of being cruel, we need to care.
“Punishing refugees won’t stop them taking dangerous sea journeys when they are fleeing war and persecution. Punishment and cruelty has never worked and it never will.
“The Greens are offering a better way. We want to see refugees given a safer pathway to protection in Australia.
“There are thousands of disappointed people around the country who are planning on sending a very clear message to the old parties when they go to the polls on the 7th of September.”
