In Canberra again to fight for our friends still in detention and for permanent visas. Eight years is too long. Thank you so much to the Senators and MP's and all our friends and supporters for all your hard work and kindness.
It’s a wonderful moment to see my brother after a longtime, I was really stunned by seeing him in Australia. I wish you all the very best and a successful future brother.
WONDERFUL BREAKING NEWS

What is the point of detention? Everyone could have been released years ago, or even better, never locked up in the first place. https://t.co/jMW0ll8Aoo
This plan is great ... but will not provide certainty for all of us. More waiting is harsh. There are many left in detention who will miss out.
So may we. We need clarity and permanency, not vague hope.
A fried of mine who has been left behind in PNG was attacked by local mobs this evening. He was badly injured and was taken to hospital after 9 years this uncertain has not come to an end. PNG is not safe.
Today we are stepping onto the 9th year of the July19 policy imposed on us on 19th of July 2013. After 8 years of this unsettled situation we plead that set us free to be settled permanently those who have been languished in offshore and inshore.
Keeping a spotlight on the 230 refugees trapped on PNG/Nauru, over 1,000 living in limbo in the community on temporary visas and 140 still held in detention.
We will keep fighting until you are all free, safe & resettled with a permanent home
#TimeForAHome
@JSalmonupstream @gedkearney@andrewjgiles@ramsiyar1991 As soon as Tharnica is well enough, the Murugappan family needs to go home to Biloela, be given permanent visas and a timely pathway to citizenship. Nothing less is unconscionable.
My favourite video from today @Thanus79084726 and @ramsiyar1991 in front of Parliament House today leading the way for #TimeForAHome campaign after having spent nearly 8 years detained themselves fighting to free all refugees still in detention https://t.co/tGjMPPtE0j
