Hey @VickiWardMP do you think @JamesMerlinoMP and @DanielAndrewsMP might be able to send a message of encouragement for the refugee students who wrote and illustrated this film? https://t.co/jV7q9DwJRQ #RefugeeWeek2018

[Welcome To Eltham @WelcometoEltham]

It's @refugeeweek, and this short claymation film from primary students of refugee backgrounds and @MonashEducation is just so beautiful. Can you watch, and send the students your love and support? https://t.co/FZodWzrFPn @MerviKaukko @OzRefugeeCounc

@andrewjgiles @GuardianAus @AlexanderCollum Thanks @andrewjgiles. Our generous spirit may be helping refugees, but it's also helping us too. We've never felt more connected with our neighbours and our community.

@GillianTriggs Thanks so much @GillianTriggs. We are all a #littlebitbesideourselves seeing your tweet! It's easy to forget there are so many stories like ours in communities all over Australia.

@BillAbeleven oh gosh I do have Muslim friends! How rude of me!! I just think of people as people not defining them by their religion

[Welcome To Eltham @WelcometoEltham]

@BillAbeleven I guess I'm not qualified to answer . I am not a Muslim nor do I have any Muslims in my direct circle of friends or neighbors

[Welcome To Eltham @WelcometoEltham]

@BillAbeleven I'm already married but thanks anyway
