Don’t be fooled - there is NO need for the current bill to be passed.

It simply increases the power of @PeterDutton_MP and further reduces his accountability.

The bill must be opposed

#NoPhonesNoLife

[Jana Favero 🇮🇹⚽️ @janafavero]

Join us in taking action to oppose the bill that is before Parliament this week, a bill that allows the confiscation of mobile phones from people in detention.
The bill will give Dutton even more unchecked power and must be opposed.

Will it ever end? Holding out for the ‘other side’ - an article by @jmcvernon, she tells us to hold tight, just for a bit longer.

It's important to include the name of those who have died at the hands of Australian border control. These deaths need to be humanised, acknowledged, remembered and paid respect. Our Border Deaths database records border deaths in this manner, as humanely as possible.

@claire_loughnan @CultureCrime @antheavogl @dehmsa @pbmurray1 Such an important piece and a disgrace that calls to release #refugees from #detention for their own protection from #Covid19Aus continue to go unheeded

[Claire Loughnan @claire_loughnan]

So disturbing to see how human rights continue to be eroded for #asylumseekers @CONREP_EU @dehmsa @antheavogl @asferdinand @CONREP_EU

@pbmurray1 @unis4refugees @unimelb @ArtsUnimelb Congratulations, Philo! Look forward to seeing what kind of 'good trouble' you continue to get up to!

Australia is sending an AUSMAT medical team to Papua New Guinea to support our neighbour as it manages a rise in COVID-19 cases. We will get through this together. 🇦🇺🇵🇬
