Nigeria started a 14-day #coronavirus lockdown in Lagos — the biggest city in sub-Saharan Africa.
The effects of lockdowns there will be hardest for millions living off of their daily earnings (80% jobs are informal): "People are hungry and they won't be able to stock food."
📣Five more kids (2 families) 🛫🚨evacuated off Nauru last week, leaving 12 children still trapped there. What if one of them was yours? We need to:
1. Get #KidsOffNauru
2. Get kids and their families resettled in safe, permanent homes
Thank you my dear state of Victoria for sending an unequivocal message that the future of our country will no longer be shaped by those that lead with hate, fear, division & racism but rather those who seek to unite us as one community, one people. #VicElection2018#auspol
The #KidsOffNauru 'welcome back to work' sign for politicians arriving today at Canberra Airport. Our great shame as a nation is that many of you think locking up children is acceptable public policy. Thanks to all the ppl who chipped into @simonahac's @Chuffed campaign. #auspol

👋 @SydneyUni_Media — hope you don’t mind us using your beautiful backdrop to help highlight:
there are still 27 kids trapped on nauru, 7 weeks after the AMA told us of the medical emergency.
we need to get the #kidsoffnauru now — no need to wait ‘til christmas!
If @ScottMorrisonMP is promising he will bring the 40 kids still on #Nauru to Australia by Christmas, what’s actually stopping him bringing all the kids to safety and critical medical care tomorrow? What is he waiting for? Every day is doing these kids damage. #KidsOffNauru
Children on Nauru are our ultimate responsibility. It is our obligation to bet kids off Nauru. Let us as a country not have to apologise to the families of Nauru in years to come. Brave words from @juliabanksmp #KidsOffNauru
"It won't just cost financially, it will be a price paid in blood," a former immigration insider has decided to speak out about #Nauru to @latingle in his first television interview. Tonight on #auspol#abc730#asylumseekers
OMG. Two more women have died in last 24 hours from male violence. One woman was 22 & the other 36.
That is 11 women killed in October by male violence. That's as many people who have died of terrorism in Australia since 1979.
How many more women need to die before our PM acts?
