Wonderful to see such a huge turn out in #Melbourne right now calling to #EvacuateNow the men on #Manus to safety.

[GetUp! @GetUp]

The humanitarian crisis on Manus Island is the fault, and sole responsibility of the Australian government.

Canberra demands the people in our care are evacuated immediately and brought to safety

#EvacuateNow

Manus. A Nations shame. Lives held in limbo . Lives lived in fear & despair . It's fucking disgraceful
