September: Children should stay in school rather than striking over the climate.

October: Speeches like these give children unnecessary anxiety over the climate.

December: Please come and pick your children up from school because the air is poison.

In #Makassar hundreds of #refugees protest outside #UHNCR. Many arrived in #Indonesia 6 yrs ago. They were told not to hop on boats. They followed UNHCR's advice & waited patiently in detention centres & abject shelters. Now the best offer they're getting is to be sent back home
