I'm over the moon to share the news that my portrait of @MariamVeiszadeh was sold today to Katrina & @simonahac for $62,000 with the proceeds already contributed to the @BenQuilty @UNrefugees #afghanistan campaign, pushing it past the crucial $1mill mark.Blown away 1/3 #auspol

Najeeba is part of the minority #Hazara group in #Afghanistan. In 2000 when she was just a kid, Najeeba and her family fled the Taliban, eventually settling in Australia. She describes the security situation Afghans are facing right now as worse than it's ever been before. 👇

[Andrew Wilkie MP @WilkieMP]

3000 visas for evacuated Afghans is too little too late. And taking them from the existing humanitarian quota is heartless. We helped make this mess, we must help clean it up. #auspol #politas

[Jana Favero 🇮🇹⚽️ @janafavero]

The news coming out of #Afghanistan is heartbreaking.
My father was killed & buried there. Visiting decades ago is the reason I’m a refugee advocate.
We can and must do more as a country to ease some of the suffering - urgently increase our intake, give protection to those here.

Kaveh is a human being but has been treated like a number for 8 yrs.
And now death feels preferable to more detention.
We’ve tried to raise his case quietly, but now we need your support. 1/2

[Julian Burnside @JulianBurnside]

So you wonder why people seek asylum in Australia.
There's an Afghan in detention here: 15 members of his family have been killed by the Taliban, and his wife and 4 children are trying to escape Afghanistan.
What would YOU do?
Is it right that we put him in detention?

[HometoBilo @HometoBilo]

By denying a visa to 4 year old Tharni, Ministers Karen Andrews & Alex Hawke are stopping Priya, Nades & the girls coming home to QLD. They aren't safe until we get them #hometobilo - please tap https://t.co/z8EJmxGlv7 & politely ask your MP to speak up for our Biloela family now

#Refugees in detention are forced to access non-emergency healthcare services through #IHMS. IHMS aren't providing appropriate medical care.The physical & mental health of detained refugees is deteriorating.This is an urgent health & safety concern #FreeTheRefugees #8yearsTooLong
