“This policy makes it clear that when it becomes politically expedient, Australia is willing to send its ‘problems’ to small Pacific neighbours, with a big pay packet to sweeten the deal.”

'The government is spending more removing some 280 people to Nauru than on protecting the human rights of the 27 million who remain in Australia.'

My article today in @GuardianAus about how Peter Dutton’s use of the Jewish community as political footballs, to spread bigotry, makes all of us less safe.

Murdoch can’t force me to stop calling out Dutton and the LNP for fueling racism!

New today on AUSPUBLAW: As Parliament considers 3 controversial migration bills, @annactalbot writes on ASF17 v Cth, the circumstances in which indefinite immigration detention remains constitutionally permissible, and the illusion of choice for refugees: https://t.co/qx9y9cID2v

[Anna @annactalbot]

As Parliament considers extreme new migration laws, it's important to remember what is at stake. Are you comfortable imprisoning or removing people for refusing to be sent to a risk of torture or death? Is that the kind of "choice" anyone should be forced to make? #auspol #auslaw

[UNSW Kaldor Centre @KaldorCentre]

We urge @AuSenate to reject 3 migration bills slated for a vote today. These expand deportation + other powers, putting at risk tens of thousands of people who committed no crime.

The sweeping new removal powers are not restricted to the non-citizens with criminal histories who feature so prominently in political speeches and media reports writes @DanGhez @annactalbot from @unsw

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

“We demand accountability for Israel’s assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, as we have continually demanded accountability for the wanton murder and injury of over 130,000 Palestinian children, women and men across these past 300 days of horror and hell in Gaza and call for accountability for all of Israel's criminal policies and practices in our territory across the decades.”
