One of the scandals of recent Australian history is the detainment of American nonviolent peace activist Scott Parkin. Scott and I would have ran nonviolence training with our friends from Pt’chang in Melbourne if it were not for Scott being detained then evicted from Australia. His crime? Educating others about the methods of Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. So get something to drink and sit back and learn of the shocking story of Australia’s first political prisoner, detained for teaching nonviolence in the tradition of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi.
