A Travesty of Justice - The Dawn Rowan Saga

The Australian Government has just spent $500,000 to bring David Hicks home from Guantanamo Bay after a trial which itself was a travesty of justice. But this is 'peanuts' compared to the millions of taxpayers' money wasted on prosecuting an innocent woman, Dawn Rowan. See http://dawnrowansaga.blogspot.com/.

She won a long-running case against the SA and Commonwealth Governments - and now they're pursuing her for costs, which will bankrupt her - and not only has she been declared innocent all through 21 years, she has been found to be the victim of some rather questionable actions by the state!

For a more detailed telling of the story, see the report from Channel 7's Today Tonight program by going to the front page of

Thanks Gary for publicizing this. I meet with Hon. Kevin Andrews (Minister for Immigration in the Howard Government) this Friday. Tomorrow (Thursday 21st June, 2007, the local 'Leader' newspaper for Dawn's locality is doing a story about her.

Anyone reading this: please contact your local or other Federal Member of Parliament on Dawn's behalf. See http://dawnrowansaga.blogspot.com/
