Shamefully the Aus Govt has not granted a single humanitarian visa out of the initial 3,000 promised to Afghans fleeing the Taliban. Surely these unfortunate people have suffered enough already. #politas#auspol#TimeforAHome
Omid Masoumali – the Iranian refugee who set himself on fire on Nauru in protest at his indefinite detention – would almost certainly have survived if he had been better cared for, or transferred more quickly to an Australian hospital, a coroner has found. https://t.co/plVZ0AO0sd
Currently 267 medication shortages and a further 67 anticipated, including vital #mentalhealth and #cardiac#medications yet still no plan to address shortages #auspol#australia

Please sign this petition today on the 8th anniversary of the Australian Government policy to send refugees who came by sea to offshore prison hellholes. #8YearsTooLong for refugees. Let them out, let them stay! · https://t.co/SbemgXTKlp https://t.co/DUlSNF0Pmt
Offshore processing is immoral and illegal under international law. Australia will continue to be a global pariah on asylum seekers until this appalling policy ends. @wacfpodcast#GameOver#TimeForAHome#politas#auspol https://t.co/du4S7i5pAG

Attending an excellent webinar by @cpi_aus on the #ruleoflaw in Australia. Fascinating to hear @AnneTwomey and Stephen Charles AO QC speak about #sportsrorts, #asylum, a government that applies the rule of law when it suits, and the opacity of the government’s decision making
Your daily reminder @AlexHawkeMP has the power under S195a of Migration Act to grant Tharnicca a permanent visas & freedom from community detention & to include her family, so they can all go home to Biloela, but he doesn’t think it’s in the public interest to do so. #hometobilo
Heal country like it heals us. Happy NAIDOC Week everyone, but especially mob ❤️💛🖤 And remember, Blak excellence should be acknowledged and celebrated all year round #NAIDOC2021#NAIDOCWeek#HealCountry

Ministerial discretion could have been exercised three years ago. Glad the government has finally acted out of sense and humanity in granting the Murugappans community detention https://t.co/hbs5NYWq6Z #auspol
