An Open Letter to Scott Morrison

An Open Letter to Scott Morrison



Article by Victoria Rollison



You’ve probably guessed that this is not fan mail. I’m sure you do have
fans, but I don’t think there would be many game enough to admit it
after your recent behaviour. Trolls perhaps, but not people. Why not
people, you may ask? Succinctly, because no person with a shred of
humanity, the sort of humanity needed to qualify as a human, could ever
condone what you are doing to the world’s desperate asylum seekers who
come to Australia begging for help.



Before you ready your list of excuses as to why it’s justifiable for
someone to be murdered inside an Australian detention facility, there is
no justifiable excuse you could possibly provide that will go anywhere
near being a justifiable excuse. According to witness reports,
a man has died after having his throat cut and sustaining head
injuries. His name was Reza Berati. He had a family and friends who
loved him. He had a personality. He had a whole life ahead of him. And
he was murdered. With violence most compassionate people wouldn’t accept
against an animal. A man was murdered. There’s no other way to describe
it. You did not carry out the violence, but you were in charge of the
person who did, and you were responsible for the victim, Reza Berati
since he was in your care.
