The new controversial anti-immigration advertisement of the Australian government has sparked outrage with people criticizing, among other things, the choice of the background image, given the recent surge of boat sinkings and the death have of hundreds of migrants.
The poster is titled “No Way. You will not make Australia Home”, whereas a video was also released showing General Campbell, commander of the Operation Sovereign Borders, explaining that ” “it is the policy and practice of the Australian government to intercept any vessel that is seeking to illegally enter Australia and safely remove it beyond their waters.”
“The rules apply to everyone: families, children, unaccompanied children, educated and skilled. there are no exceptions,” he continues.
“Do not believe the lies of smugglers, these criminals will steal your money and place your life and the life of your family at risk, for nothing.”
