The Thai cave rescue raised a serious question

One of a series of letters to The Age 12th July 2018

We can stop the damage to other young people 

It's wonderful to see the world co-operate in rescuing the 12 boys and their coach from the cave in Thailand. May the compassion continue. Australia needs to rescue the 127 refugee children trapped on Nauru. They need to be brought with their families to a safe haven now. Let's use the same creative and compassionate energy to ensure all those on Nauru and Manus are brought to a safe haven now. Let's stop the suffering. Let's stop the terrible damage to young lives.
