Judah Tanner

I remember seeing him sitting by himself at the back and I just wanted to connect personally with each person. I sat beside him and he looked at me and he goes, my name's Small Q. And I was like, oh, cool, you know? And he said, oh, the other part of it was that I'm actually this semi-famous musician and I'm on YouTube.

My backstory is obviously being in the music industry as well at some points in my early youth. And so we sit there on my iPhone, just watching his YouTube clips. And I was like, just amazed. that this guy, he, he didn't show off, you know, he just spoke simply. He was just this young kid in the back of this room and, and, um, he was subtle. Yeah, he is.

And I'm watching him on stage and I'm watching him with this, this bravado and I was like, wow.

Hahaha.

Hahaha.

Their people have never had enough to eat. They've never had enough to build proper roads, have infrastructure. They're now in a position where the first time in the history of their people, they've got enough money to feed everyone, for everyone to have houses, to bring in electricity, oil, to have cars, roads, infrastructure. They've never had any of this before.

And now we're asking for them to give away the one thing, that has given them their own independence and some level of assurity of tomorrow, some survival of tomorrow. I think that's where we have to look and say, if we're asking them to close these down, what alternative are we offering them?

Is the alternative that they go back to hand-to-mouth subsistence living, where their people have no idea where the next bowl of rice is going to come from? Obviously, that can't be the result because we're not going to see that happen.

So tell me about who you are. You know, my name is Judah. I originally came from Australia. And through, I guess, just life, I ended up moving to Thailand and living on the Thai-Burma border. And, yeah, I've come to the day where trafficking, human trafficking, is just something that's in my life now as a daily occurrence or anti-human trafficking work.

I got to the point in 2006 where I thought about where I was at and where I really wanted to be, and I realized that I had become the... you know, selfish Western Australian person that was really just about living for themselves. And I kind of forgot where I'd come from and I had this identity crisis. I was going to give a year to, to somewhere that I loved.

I always say that it was going back to my first love. It's like Thailand, the country and the people. And I grew up for many years knowing it and having friends here. And, um, so I came in 2006 and, uh, that one year very quickly turned into three, five, 10. Now we're going on to 20 years.
