If ever a dictatorship should be toppled it is the ruthless Burmese junta , guilty of genocide, crimes against humanity, massive corruption and denial of democracy for the masses.
One of our roving reporters in Asia tells us that the rigged recent “election” in Burma is a sham as revealed by the order that all questions for QUESTION TIME under the “ new constitutional advance " have to be submitted 10 days in advance for SECURITY VETTING.
Just imagine , for instance, if some brave person asked for details about the deal between the French energy company, Total, partner in Darwin’s INPEX project, and the Burmese generals. Like how much has Total paid to the generals and where has the money gone?
Here in Darwin , a throbbing, vibrant democracy , where politicians and the dynamic media can ask any question, nobody it seems has dared say boo about the connection between a proposed major Territory project and the oppressed Burmese. This despite the fact that there are Burmese refugees held in Darwin right now , some of them recently holding a rooftop demonstration at the detention centre . Action man , President Sarkozy is on record as saying he does not like Total dealing with the Burmese junta. Is there a Little Corporal in the Darwin media or politics ?
