Baxter Detention Centre Protest, Easter 2005
At Easter, it has become traditional to converge at the Baxter Detention Centre near Port Augusta in South Australia to protest against the inhumane mandatory detention of refugees in Australia in contravention of our international obligations.
There were about 500 of us and as many police. We had balloons and kites, illegal in the military no-fly zone. The police had guns, batons and pins they used to pop our balloons.
