You need to know this
On orders of #Dutton the Australian Gov tried to stop a 2 year old refugee girl from being brought to Australia for life saving medical care who almost died on Nauru due to medical neglect & they tried to stop dad coming too.
They lost on both counts today
Aus Home Affairs minister’s comments about taking farmers from South Africa shows he’s living in the 19th century. Many people killed because of two key concepts:“white" & "civilised." His language shows we’re still living in a world where barbaric policies have buyers.#Manus
IHMS is a dirty company, they got millions of dollars for protecting the people in Manus but in fact cannot do anything for serious cases. A refugee with mental illness needs urgent psychological treatment but nobody can help him.#Manus
There is corruption going on with all the contracts for millions of dollars in Manus. What are these companies doing for all that money? Why won’t the Australian Government release the details?#Manus
You delivered nothing but hurt, humiliation, trauma, fear and anxiety to the LGBTIQ community, as you pandered to bigots rather than bend to the arc of justice. How dare you try & take credit for #MarriageEquality.
What a burning fire dumpster of a human being you've become. https://t.co/QSRog7u71F
Last night an angry local man came to Hillside,yelling at security& refugees ‘you must leave.’ Shows how Oz gov is disrespectful & doesnt care about Manusian rights. You can’t leave 600 foreigners in society of small villages.Ppl in villages are victims as much as the refugees
To my Australian friends I will be speaking over the phone on the International Human Right Day March for Refugees. Sunday December 10, 2pm. State Library of Victoria.
Here's to every Australian LGBTIQ elder who fought harder, tougher, bloodier battles to pave the way for today.
And here's to every Aussie kid and teen out there—in the suburbs, regions, rural areas, coastlines—who saw today's news and imagined a better future for themselves.
Last night at 12am a man with a machete attacked Granville motel in Port Moresby & wanted to attack the refugees. The refugees are saying security officers couldn’t do anything & the man was saying "Go back to your countries." Australia is keeping 100 refugees in that place.
Psychologists who are supposed to help people were also used to try and convince people to go back home to persecution. Without even having the claims for asylum assessed, this is what our Govt does to innocent human beings. #Manus#Nauru
Decided to check out the protests at Milo's event in Sydney. Honestly there's a bigger police presence than some music festivals I've been to - streets blocked all around, riot squad, horses, rescue trucks, command post buses, ambulances...
Just a small crew of protesters so far
"With the stakes so high and public opinion so clear, it is unconscionable for any politician or investor to support any new coal project, especially Adani’s... Our health and wellbeing depends upon it."

I need you to take this in.
"Australian Border Force officials are telling refugees on Nauru they must separate from their wives and children – and face never seeing them again – in order to apply for resettlement in the US."
