00:00:00.173 --> 00:00:01.945
In Australia...

2
00:00:04.349 --> 00:00:07.195
there is a ...

3
00:00:07.220 --> 00:00:10.203
an attempt by our politicians

4
00:00:10.228 --> 00:00:13.159
to play us off against
one another.

5
00:00:13.184 --> 00:00:21.914
And they do that by framing ‘us’
as good and ‘others’ as bad.

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:29.565
They then can justify setting
up systems of protection

7
00:00:29.590 --> 00:00:35.140
and surveillance to protect
‘us’ against ‘them’.

8
00:00:35.165 --> 00:00:40.345
And then they can justify putting
‘them’ in detention centres

9
00:00:40.370 --> 00:00:44.632
where they are treated
unmercifully.

10
00:00:45.276 --> 00:00:47.397
The ‘us’ and ‘them’

11
00:00:47.422 --> 00:00:54.190
language is being used to justify
taking care of ‘ourselves’

12
00:00:54.215 --> 00:00:57.406
and disregarding
the rights of ‘others’.
