Did you know there’s 7,612 #Afghans accepted by UNHCR as #refugees stranded in Indonesia for 9 years because of a policy started by Tony Abbott in 2014. Almost all have family here in Australia, they’re in unsafe situations & should be resettled here.
“The Taliban thugocracy doesn’t just deny half the population its fundamental human rights; it rejects the very idea women are fundamentally human.”

Remember today. Remember that untouchable power @AlexHawkeMP used to cancel #Djokovic visa is a power he could have used to free the 70 refugees in 9 years of detention, grant 20,000 humanitarian places for Afghanistan & let Murugappan family go #hometobilo. He blocks all of it.
This country, the law, the media, the people & the politicians allowed a 15-year-old to be held for no crime in a prison for almost 9 years.
That's why we are asking Novak Djokovic to advocate for us.
Dear Shannon, when it’s safe to do so I invite you to come and visit us. Come see the lifestyle you’ve been sold the lie about. Come see the years of limbo, despair & poverty. Of people left in limbo for more than a decade fearing for their life & robbed of their future 🙏🏼 Kon
If you suddenly have an interest in our border policies and think the treatment of #djokovic is shameful and you’re outraged we need to ask you where have you been the last two decades when it comes to the treatment of people seeking asylum?
We will say it again.
@AlexHawkeMP you have the power to free the refugees held at Park Hotel Prison.
9 years already lost
We are ready to help every one of these men find accommodation. We will provide them with food and aid.
All you need to do is free them.
#Djokovic
It's so sad that so many journalists contacted me yesterday to ask me about Djokovic. I've been in a cage for 9 years, I turn 24 today, and all you want to talk to me about is that.
Pretending to care by asking me how I am and then straight away asking questions about Djokovic.
You cannot pretend to care about #refugees dying at sea when you destroy the lives of those who don’t @ScottMorrisonMP by locking them up for 8 years or leaving them on temporary visas for the rest of their lives without their families
Anyone can be a victim of sexual violence.
Despite clear legal prohibitions, sexual violence remains widespread during armed conflicts and other situations of violence.

Afghans granted emergency visas to Australia but can't leave the country and haven't been able to get in contact with Australian authorities will have to apply for the 3000 refugee spots once their temp visas expire. Their 449 visas won't be extended, a Senate inquiry had heard.
The ABC has learned that a former Afghan army officer who worked as an interpreter for the ADF was executed just a day or two ago.
His wife and children are still in hiding, but his sister who lives in Australia had been trying for months to secure humanitarian visas for them.
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre is running weekly #COVID19#vaccination clinics for people seeking asylum at the @ASRC1. They are free. You do not need a Medicare card. The next one is October 12th. Email us or call to book or to ask any questions you have first. Details here👇🏼

"Thirteen journalists from Afghan newspaper Etilaatroz are asking to be evacuated to Australia, saying the future of journalism in their country is bleak and they fear being murdered by the new militant rulers for doing their jobs."

Today members of the Afghanistan-Australian community handed over 189,140 petition signatures calling for #ActionForAfghanistan to @AlexHawkeMP, with support from local church leaders.
This is an enormous outpouring of support from the Australian community - THANK YOU 🙏🏼
We rely on our leaders to show compassion & humanity.
@AlexHawkeMP could grant 20k people safety from the Taliban, through additional humanitarian places.
He could act now, but he hasn't.
Call him & ask why.
