An astonishing achievement in every respect. The latest book by @BehrouzBoochani, who addressed our Hobart Oration from prison on Manus Is, is the top non-fiction seller in @FullersHobart.
Join me and @BehrouzBoochani for the Brisbane launch of his book No Friend But The Mountains at the Old Brisbane Museum on 3 Oct. @avidreader4101 have organised and will make a donation from proceeds to @amnestyOz and @ASRC1 https://t.co/VflqH8Ac4R
'Medical sources on Nauru say at least 20 children are in the Australian-run regional processing centre 1 (RPC1) on “food and fluid refusal” and at risk of permanent harm or death. At least a dozen children, staff say, need evacuation urgently'

Is there a chance for Australia's new Immigration Minister @DavidColemanMP to do better than #Dutton? 20 kids are shutting themselves down, trying to die on #Nauru#AustraliaShame#Torture#NauruPIF2018 Ring now on 02 6277 4188 or 02 9771 3400 #DeadCats https://t.co/9pdc4VEAy4
Very disturbing to read of succession of critically ill #children evacuated from #Nauru 🇳🇷 suffering acute depression & resignation syndrome. #Migrants isolated on the island for long periods lose hope of better life. Time for others to receive them: https://t.co/Yldt0fYqck
Will @DavidColemanMP be forced to condemn kids to permanent harm or death? Will he do better than #Dutton? His margin is only 2.8% - with 3.6 swing against him on first preferences last time. Easy to target if he fails on human rights. #Nauru#NauruPIF2018 https://t.co/S0PMrlUEfY
Why are au pair’s given visas when Afghan and Iraqi interpreters who stood side by side with Australian soldiers are waiting? Some for 5 years ... @abcmelbourne
“Morrison has been instrumental in establishing a system that is responsible for the deaths of 12 human beings. He is a merciless individual.”—out on The Guardian, my thoughts on Australia’s recent political turmoil.https://t.co/ZDr35CwjZX
Sharif is a 27 years old refugee on Manus who’s been suffering from stomach cancer since 2016. He was sent to Port Moresby 6 times without receiving proper medical treatment. The office of immigration is aware of his critical situation but is denying him medical support. #Manus
#insiders Now Scott Morrison is PM
as a member of #IPA
and from the Far Right of the Liberal Party
He needs to finally tell the Public the Truth
about what their Agenda for the Country is
What would the country look like after 4yrs of his Government???
