Clearly biased but Afghan food is the best cuisine and now you can feed yourself and those less fortunate in Afghanistan via this unique set up at a Sydney social enterprise https://t.co/ks75UOxiQP

Did you know that unlike prisons, immigration detention centres do not have laws that govern them

Did you know it remains lawful in Australia to indefinitely detain a human being for seeking asylum

Did you know there exists no time limits that compel review

We need reform now

[Kon Karapanagiotidis @Kon__K]

Did you know it costs more to detain one refugee on Nauru than to fund the entire Asylum Seeker Resource Centre for a year? Have your money do good not harm. Make a tax - deductible donation to our Winter Appeal 👉🏼 https://t.co/ldNa83aXEx

Before & after the Roberts Smith verdict, most Australians are only interested in how our legacy in Afg. effects our own.

An Afghan org was documenting atrocities like those uncovered by ⁦@smh⁩ & informing the ADF since 2009.

My piece out today.

Next financial year without a significant investment our award-winning Mentoring Program will need to cease with no new mentors being recruited.

The former Australian government continued to pay millions of taxpayer dollars to a businessman convicted of corruption to provide offshore processing services on Nauru, even after he had pleaded guilty to bribing Nauruan government officials. @At_Raf_ https://t.co/QK6EvrP2oF

22 refugees are still trapped on Nauru.

This government has budgeted $485 million to hold people there.

Per person, it's more than they spent last year on the entire safety net for people seeking asylum living in our community - which 98% can’t access

[Jana Favero 🇮🇹⚽️ @janafavero]

Senate estimates just confirmed
22 people on Nauru
$485m for the current contract solely for Nauru
‘Clear Govt policy to reduce number of people on Nauru’.
Currently no similar policy for PNG.

Here is my latest opinion piece.

I am finally reunited with my family after 13 years as refugees. But the genocidal threat for Hazaras in Afghanistan remains.

Thank you Australia ❤️ https://t.co/bh7Z54JKQH

#Australia's humanitarian intake remains capped at ~14,000/yr & funds for refugees & service providers who resettle them has dwindled in #Budget23. Our .@AAPNewswire story citing @amnestyOz @ASRC1 @NickMcKim @SCOA_Aus @OzRefugeeCounc @SSI_tweets: https://t.co/zyZpSsHSAx

After 10 years of neglect, abuse, family separation, harm, denial of rights and loss of freedom we must urgently evacuate the remaining 110 people on PNG and Nauru.

Terrible news - Australia's environment minister @tanya_plibersek has just approved a new coal mine

The minister has failed to uphold her human rights obligations to stop new fossil fuel projects - this is deeply disappointing @hrw #NoNewFossilFuels

How a leaked USB stick became the Nauru files – a tale of brutality and despair told in 160,000 words. https://t.co/mIyKfPjKm3

[Sophie McNeill @Sophiemcneill]

The ALP & @AlboMP went to the election with a commitment to raise #Australia's refugee/ humanitarian intake from 13,750 to 27,000 places.

It's devastating this promise has not been delivered. #Budget2023 ⬇️
