Notable Refugee: Anh Do

anh do, refugee and asylum seeker contributes to AustraliaComedian and former refugee Anh Do exemplifies the ambition and drive that characterises many refugees now living in Australia.

He and his family travelled on a leaky fishing boat with forty other Vietnamese refugees. They lost most of their food and water in a storm and were later attacked by pirates, who stole the boat’s engine. Five days later, they were rescued by a German merchant ship.

In his 2010 autobiography, The Happiest Refugee, Anh Do openly discussed the voyage, as well as his determination to succeed and help his family.

He went on to earn a double degree in law and business at the University of Technology, Sydney but chose to pursue comedy because it was an easier way to make money. His honesty, charisma, and down to earth personality have made him so successful that in 2000, he was able to buy his mum a house in the western suburbs of Sydney.

It is important not to give in to rhetoric that demonises refugees because, for all we know, they could be the next Anh Do.

In memory of British MP Helen Joanne Cox

MP-Helen-Joanne-CoxBritish MP Helen Joanne Cox was shot and stabbed this month while campaigning in her constituency in Birstall, West Yorkshire. She died in hospital shortly after the attack.

A graduate of the University of Cambridge, Cox began her career working with Oxfam. She also served as the national chair of the Labour Women’s Network for four years and collaborated with such admirable organisations as the Maternal Mortality Campaign, Save the Children, and the Freedom Fund. She was elected to Parliament in May 2015.

Some labelled Cox a leftist politician, but in her husband’s words, she “believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life, with an energy and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.” She should be remembered for her passionate and vocal advocacy for human rights and social justice issues.
