Ourstralia - It's Un-Australian Not to help
Concept - Julian Batty + Georgie McCarthy
Australia is a nation built on egalitarianism and generosity. Yet that spirit is strangely absent when it comes to our borders.
Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants, queue jumpers or security risks – they’re just individuals and families we’re yet to meet, neighbours we’re yet to welcome, and classmates we’re yet to play with.
We were engaged to change how Australian’s view asylum seekers, and how policymakers treat them. Seeking asylum is a basic human right, not an offence punishable by years spent in detention with little hope of a new life. Whichever side of politics you lean on, if you agree things desperately need to change, then you support Ourstralia’s cause.
Everything was created from the ground up, including the Ourstralia brand, web presence and the comedy skits.
