"The lack of transparency around Australia’s Offshore Processing regime has been so deeply troubling from the outset... We must bring all still living in PNG to safety and healing here. We must find a permanent home for all that have suffered these past 10 years" - @SarahRACS

Abdoulie ‘Busta’ Asim came to Australia with the Gambia team for the 2018 Commonwealth Games and stayed, claiming refugee status due to feared religious persecution.

Four years later, Busta has finally been granted his refugee visa and welcomed a child.

Last night in what was described as ‘pinch yourself’ moment I heard @BehrouzBoochani speak in AU, the country that Peter Dutton said he would never visit. If you are curious about our government has done - and is still doing - to thousands of refugees, read just one chapter.

With the fabulous @SarahRACS who is introducing Behrouz Boochani

Starting soon. Attend the vigil, read and reflect, or speak his name. Just do something.

[Linda Scott @ClrLindaScott]

Tonight’s vigil outside @cityofsydney Town Hall, on Gadigal Land, mourns 15-year-old Noongar boy Cassius Turvey.

The gathering will be from 6pm.

I hope you can join to reflect on this racist attack. My love and condolences to Cassius’s family. Vale.

Australian Minister, @Bowenchris, speaking in parliament about the targeted suicidal attack on Hazara students on 30/09/2022—highlighting the nature of the ongoing, systematically targeted atrocities and genocide faced by the Hazara people in Afghanistan.

[Sitarah Moh @sitarah_m]

Another young injured victim of the brutal attack in Kabul.

Her beautiful face glowing despite being targeted on her education centre because she belongs to the Hazara ethnic group in Afghanistan.

We stand tonight in solidarity with the Afghanistan community and call for more action towards safety and protection.

We show respect for the resilience and strength of women, children, the Hazara community and people who have worked alongside our armed forces. @ActionForAfg
