In the wake of the final cruel hours before the sentenced deaths of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, all bids for clemency and all legal appeals have been exhausted. All that awaits these men, and seven others, is to stand down the barrel of the flawed Indonesian Criminal Justice system as a bitter conclusion to…
On the twelfth of April, the Federal Government announced that it would be removing the ‘conscientious objector’ exemption category which requires recievers of child care benefits to vaccinate their offspring.
