On Front: BOAT PEOPLE / www.boat-people.org On Back: WE ARE ALL BOAT PEOPLE / ...from the first fleet in 1788, through two centuries of migration, to the / most recent arrivals. As Australians we share a common past and a current / obligation to our fellow human beings. / We are a diverse group of concerned people who have decided to express / our views. Together we have the power to challenge the border panic / encouraged by the rhetoric of fear.
