29 April - Two Anniversaries

The 29th of April marked 2 events.
  1. 26 years since I moved to Sydney.  Yes, I had a short hiatus in Qld and Melbourne but Sydney has always been my home.
  2. 1 year since Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were sentenced to death - actually, they were murdered, in Indonesia
 I can celebrate my anniversary here every day.  I live in a city that allows that.

What I cannot believe is that the anniversary of the murder Myuran and Andrew passed without a lot of comment.  It's like as a country we have moved on.  We do not care that this callous act was more of a political event than that of a country punishing two people, who had spent 10 years in gaol turning their lives around.

I still refuse to visit Bali.  I will not go there regardless of how cheap it is.  Do the people of Bali miss out on my tourist dollars?  Yes, I suppose so.. But I can't do it.

RIP.
