[Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Australia @JRS_Aus]

Full room at second round negotiations on #GlobalCompact on #migration @UN in NewYork and interesting discussions on #migrants and #refugees and the need for complementarity in between #GCM and #GCR. @APRRN_

People seeking protection and who are on bridging visas access as little as $200/wk in income support from our social safety net, if they need it. It’s so hard to live on, yet govt wants to cut people off payments entirely. Australia can do better. @Kon__K @OzRefugeeCounc #auspol

[ACOSS @ACOSS]

The govt is planning to deny asylum seekers income support if they study. This will make it more difficult for people to improve their English, which the govt also wants. The govt is trapping people between a rock and a hard place. @OzRefugeeCounc @iFECCA #auspol

A symbolic and important conclusion to a wonderful conference! #AltRefugee https://t.co/hTOnWMFaVx

#AltRefugee concludes with a reflection for our brothers, our sisters and our children detained on #manus #Nauru, #christmasIsland and onshore - we will not rest until you are free

[Refugee Council of Australia @OzRefugeeCounc]

I believe we will see an Australian leader rise in our parliament and apologise for the supreme injustice Australia has enacted toward refugees and people seeking asylum. ‘We must reclaim our humanity and remove the stain from this nation’ @philglendenning #AltRefugee

Some final words: "we ALL have a role to play!" - Carolina from @JesuitRefugee #AltRefugee

Couldn't agree more @ntrego88 https://t.co/GH9vqgdglq

@GiveHopeUC Would love to see discussion on self-representation and leadership of people with lived experience in a plenary at future conferences. So fundamental and foundational to everything this sector does #AltRefugee @OzRefugeeCounc

The system has been created by the Govt & needs to be undone by the Govt. The community must hold them to account: Sister Brigid #altrefugee

Sr Brigid Arthur - 3 things we need to talk about as a movement - we're all human, we want a decent Australia, calculated cruelty not in our name #AltRefugee

[Give Hope Campaign @GiveHopeUC]

"The key to a successful movement is a clear and coherent message" - Sr Brigid Arthur. Hear, hear! #AltRefugee

[Paul Power @1PaulPower]

How to avoid token engagement of #refugees: go beyond storytelling, consult seriously with feedback on outcomes, value skills, support new leadership, learn from practice to build greater depth, open doors for refugee reps to speak directly to senior decision makers. #AltRefugee

[Give Hope Campaign @GiveHopeUC]

Very telling - the change in language to describe the Department of Immigration. Formerly focusing on multiculturalism - now about border protection & security. This fosters public sentiments of fear and mistrust! #AltRefugee https://t.co/lbMgpA02k0

[Refugee Council of Australia @OzRefugeeCounc]

Changing the immigration departments name changes its focus says @HouseofWelcome Miriam Pellicano - #DeptOfHomeAffairs is first time since 1945 immigration is not included in the name of a ministry

[Give Hope Campaign @GiveHopeUC]

Fantastic to see self-representation of refugees and people seeking asylum at this year's Refugee Alternatives conference! So essential to have people with lived experience take ownership of this movement! #AltRefugee https://t.co/PF1d7zEteA

[Louise Olliff @LouOlliff]

Full house #AltRefugee conference. 58% of speakers with lived refugee experience. The way of the future for informed, engaged, empowering responses to forced displacement @OzRefugeeCounc
