The harm and abuse our government inflicted on the people they chose to force to brutal overseas detention camps are reason enough for a Royal Commission - with or without the serious, multiple allegations of bribery and corruption. Powerful speech from Senator @NickMcKim.
Maddening to see Gov’t deflect & distract from broader issues plaguing immigration detention. Australians deserve to know the truth about how this secret, cruel system continues to operate. Nothing less than a Royal Commission will deliver #auspol smh.com.au/politics/feder…
@janafavero: "It is our responsibility to give care. You can pull some kind of technicality if you want, but morally the responsibility is ours and we should take the same approach to Papua New Guinea as to Nauru." Refugees Off PNG. Email your MP now👇🏽 action.asrc.org.au/refugees-off-p…
“And that’s how we changed this country for the better…. How we made history.” We are proud to release our official ad as part of the History is Calling referendum education campaign.
🗞️BREAKING🗞️ The last refugee held on Nauru to be evacuated to Australia after 10 years arrived last night, in a welcome and long overdue move for refugees. However, around 80 people still held in Papua New Guinea need urgent evacuation. More below👇🏾 asrc.org.au/2023/06/25/ref…
No matter who we are or where we are from, we all deserve to be safe. The last refugees are finally off Nauru, a decade after our government forcibly detained them there to score political points. 80 people still remain trapped in PNG. asrc.org.au/2023/06/25/ref…
The last few refugees our government exiled to Nauru could be evacuated in weeks. A decade after forcing them to brutal overseas detention, our government can't deny responsibility for the health and safety of the last refugees trapped in PNG. More👇 theguardian.com/australia-news…
One can both acknowledge under this Australian Government there is hope for positive change for people seeking asylum unlike the previous one and yet call out each day it’s failure to deliver on what it promised in opposition. People can’t just stay in limbo & poverty forever.
This government allocated a paltry $37m to the threadbare safety net for people waiting years for an answer from a refugee process designed to punish, not protect. That's 2% of the $1.85 billion they found to lock people up in immigration detention and hold refugees on Nauru.
America has lost its mind.
Budgets are moral documents. They express the values and priorities of a government. If the ALP fund huge tax cuts for the extremely wealthy but don't #RaiseTheRateForAll, they are telling you where their values are. Believe them. #Auspol2023
Cannot be thankful enough for the launch of @GuardianAus ten years ago, and the incredible work of so many brilliant journalists since. Doubly so given the dismantling of professional journalism at the SMH and Age in the same period. Best $100 a year investment you can make.

After so much good work, we had faith that the Federal Government would continue do the right thing. We implore our government to listen to the EIAC and #RaiseTheRateForGood in #Budget23 Email your MP and @JEChalmers: raisetherateforgood.good.do/eiacreport/ema… canberratimes.com.au/story/8166312/…
Pretty cool how we have politicians regularly admit they "couldn't live" on the current welfare rate, and then just move on, as if putting people in a position that makes it impossible to LIVE is just fine.
Central Land Council leaders say Jacinta Nampijinpa Price ‘needs to stop pretending we are her people’ theguardian.com/australia-news…
It's time for this government to live up to their promise of "no one held back, no one left behind" and let people seeking safety work, study and access a fair and equal safety net. 📣 Act now: Tell the Treasurer to let refugees thrive👇 action.asrc.org.au/let-refugees-t…
🗞️Media Release🗞️ @ASRC1, in a new report, is calling on the Albanese Government to restore the cuts made to social support for people seeking asylum as well as ensuring people have the right to work and study, as the Federal Budget nears. 👇Read more👇 asrc.org.au/2023/04/18/pov…
Reporters in Alice Springs quoting the Central Land Council and other organisations WHO SUPPORT THE VOICE. Peter Dutton's answer is that people in supermarkets don't want it. So anyone who disagrees is a bureaucrat/out of touch, only those who agree count. #auspol
