I was 20 when I had to flee Afghanistan and now I'm 27. After 7 Years, still hoping to be free. I haven’t had a punch in the arm by my brother, a hug by uncles, a kiss from my mum for 7 years. We have GAINED the unbelievable burden of our family mourning for us.#7YearsTooLong

So pleased to hear this. One of worst scandals in Aust’n history - bugging of a ‘friend’ (& one of poorest nations in the world) to benefit political affiliates. Then systematic, relentless harassment of truth-tellers - amidst unprecedented secrecy #shame Australia @cporterwa.
