They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse. However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored. To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us.

Demonstrating out the front of Parliament House in Canberra to call on the government to #EvacuateManus. Tears in my eyes. #Manus #ManusSOS #auspol #BringThemHere

We shouldn't be "dismayed" that the compacts will be non-binding -- they can be agreements that act as "stepping stones" to further action: @Beth_Ferris #Kaldor17 #globalcompacts
