Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address today was exactly what we've come to expect: divisive, fear-driven politics given a national platform.
We're not buying it, and neither should you.
Ten years ago, Australians took to the streets to demand that people seeking safety not be sent to offshore detention and it worked.
It’s time to let them stay for good. Send an email to your MP today: https://t.co/RUPhE58Ark ✍️
🚨 #BREAKING@Ageinvestigates exposes the outrageous lengths the @AlboMP Govt has gone to pursue its cruel, chaotic offshore regime.
Corruption, contracted crims, secrecy, cruelty, billions in taxpayer $. It’s past time to end offshore processing and stop deportations to Nauru.
Will you be watching 60 minutes on Sunday night? Australia’s offshore processing regime has a long history of human rights abuses, but are we about to see how deep the corruption goes? https://t.co/VVMGCPKWld
$1.5 million of 🇦🇺 taxpayer💰per head but asylum seekers still going without food.
Huge contract blowouts, added to the cost of the latest secret MOU with Nauru raises serious questions of gross mismanagement.

The Albanese govt has thrown more than $13 billion down the drain so far without scrutiny, committed another $2.5 billion in August & now secretly added another $365m. And people banished there can’t get enough food. 🤯 Offshore processing must stop now.

You can’t make this shit up. Deport men of colour, refugees to Nauru on the claim they are not of good character while giving tens of millions to a notorious outlaw motorcycle gang to provide the security there, in a secret deal. The corruption stinks.

So turns out it's not a $400m deal Australia has done with Nauru - it's a $2.5 billion over the next 30 years 🤯
Big revelation at snap senate inquiry hearing asking the Dept of Home Affairs about the Govt’s agreement with Nauru to send asylum seekers there.
This is the moment Labor, with Coalition backing, rammed through a cruel, Trump-style law paving the way for mass deportations to Nauru.
The Bill enables their secretive $2.5 BILLION deal with Nauru, a government plagued by allegations of fraud and corruption.
The Albanese Gov is trying to rush through a new Bill that would make it easier to deport people by taking away their legal/human rights. But it’s not too late to stop it. Contact your MP/Senators to ask them not to pass this bill: https://t.co/8DK8d6IBCl
This is alarming and dangerous. The govt is trying to strip the right to fairness from life-changing decisions, removing fundamental legal rights from people seeking asylum, refugees and migrants - expanding on the brutal bills they passed last year.

Unlocking the potential of people seeking asylum is a practical solution to Australia's productivity challenge.
77% of people the ASRC supported into jobs last year found work in Australia’s most in-demand industries, as identified by Jobs and Skills Australia.

Rathy and her family, along with thousands of others, have lived in Australia for over a decade. They work, contribute, and their children know no other home. The time for permanency is now.

Today marks four years since Kabul fell to the Taliban. We call on the Albanese government to adopt human policies and provide a safe pathway to permanency to all the people impacted by what’s happening in Afghanistan and living in limbo in Australia.
More proof that offshore detention is a failure. $13 billion dollars of tax payer's money has been flushed down the drain on a cruel system that harms people.
Revelations continue about corruption and criminal involvement in offshore detention.

Amid a dengue outbreak on Nauru, at least 9 people seeking asylum have become gravely ill.
Australia has a clear responsibility for the people our government has banished there.

Featured on @SBSNews tonight, four refugees are in Canberra this week calling on the Albanese Government to finally deliver a pathway to permanency for the thousands failed by Fast Track.
With a thumping majority and the Coalition now reviewing its migration policies, there’s no excuse for leaving people in limbo any longer.

*MEDIA RELEASE*
Today marks 12 years since the cruel policy of offshore detention was restarted.
More than 130 people are still trapped in limbo on Nauru and in PNG — with no plan and no path to safety.
