Even today, when the political slogans have moved on from 'stop the boats', the policies keep #refugees living among us on the outer. Our new series starts today.

A legal limbo without end: the people who came by boat but never found home in Australia https://t.co/1C7UBTIRgf

RCOA has welcomed the announcement in the 2022 Federal #Budget of 16,500 additional places for #refugees from #Afghanistan over the next four years: https://t.co/AmK6vl9Wvd

It comes after a campaign led by Australia’s Afghan diaspora for 20,000 additional places.

Great @AsylumInsight article on devastating impact of COVID on resettlement globally and in Aus, https://t.co/HC9l7yAEzi. Although happy to have seen some new arrivals since 15 Dec (mostly from Jordan and Lebanon), majority of ~11k RHP visa-holders are still waiting to travel.

Bit of history about Minister’s personal powers. We saw today how limited review of these powers are - as former Minister immigration Ian McPhee says “The law and its practice is now unjust. It is un-Australian.” https://t.co/GwmVZ39nLR

Hello & a big thanks to everyone who’s followed or read my explainers over the past week on the #Djokovic saga & Australia’s migration laws.

I don’t usually like to plug much, but I’ve noticed a lot of interest here in (a) refugee issues and (b) deep dives. With that in mind…

[UNSW Kaldor Centre @KaldorCentre]

There is a long list of Australia's wrong-doing through #offshore processing – beyond harm to refugees, add harm to Pacific neighbours, writes @NatashaYacoub. #PNG #Manus https://t.co/xasnxlQ1sR

[Sangeetha Pillai @sangpillai]

A good read from @politico’s @KarlMathiesen on the refugees left behind in the Park Hotel following #Djokovich’s departure:

Thank you for inviting me @LucyHockingsBBC on BBC World News so I could share my story with the world. I hope the media will keep reporting our story that will bring tears to the good hearts.

[Adrian Edwards 🌍 @AdrianEdwrds]

Policymakers in the UK and elsewhere considering refugee 'externalisation' would do well to take a look at this. Powerful video explainer by @madelinegleeson @KaldorCentre

[Elaine Pearson @PearsonElaine]

Good piece by @KaldorCentre @sangpillai on what the #Djokovic saga tells us about the treatment of people under Australia's harsh border protection policies. https://t.co/7eUdqW4yWY

[UNSW Kaldor Centre @KaldorCentre]

The #Djokovic situation and 'the sheer breadth of the Minister’s visa cancellation powers'...
An excellent, clear piece by @sangpillai in @smh. https://t.co/jC4OM6zs8B
