RE: A Refugee Currency - integrating refugees to Australia's rural areas.
Australia is uninhabitable from a European perspective. Desert populations within India, the middle East and Africa see things differently. Consequently the refugees who come from desert nations will contribute greatly with their knowledge on how to grow food in this particular environment.
Settling refugees in rural areas can replace offshore detention centres which are a breach of humanitarian law.
If you ever visit rural Australia you will experience the way in which people live out there, its not an urban existence, its a rural one, satisfying in body, mind, spirit and soul. Connected to the greater nervous system; nature. It is healing. And it will be healing for refugees.
Outback Australia versus a refugee detention center ? ? ?
A choice? I have been to the outback, I WILL take the DETENTION CENTER EVERY time I am given a choice ! ! !
My point is the CHOICE to live there. As i said if you want to fine. but being forced maybe cruel.
And i do know that people love living there. I loved living in the canadian wilderness, not as deadly but equally remote.
Its just the freedom to choose is my issue. Modern technology can make anywhere habitable.
