‘You take your voice up there, where it should be heard.’ These 3 powerhouses spoke truth to power all day yesterday. They won’t see anyone of the 31 000 left behind.

We need a permanent solution for all 31 000 people who have been failed by our flawed refugee policy. It’s the only fair thing to do.

Meet Betia Shakiba studying to be a lawyer
Asma studying to be a nurse
vashini early childhood educator

All found to be refugees
All temporary
All in limbo
For 10 years

This makes no sense. The PM has the power to grant 31,000 people permanency & end 10 years of pain

Such an inspiring day, to listen to 3 amazing women speaking for the needs of their families and their communities. Thank you, Nick McKim Zoe Daniel Allegra Spender Andrew Wilkie MP Ged Kearney for your commitment to continued advocacy.

'All people need a place they can call home and there needs to be clear information on when this will happen.'

All they ask for is fairness, safety and security.

‘It’s time to end this suffocating situation. We need a timeframe as we are suffering’.

The reality of 10 years of limbo, thanks to Morrison’s rigged ‘fast track’ to nowhere system.

We have failed #refugees and now it’s time to right the wrongs.

“We are losing our dreams and our voices”.

Discussing the reality and pain of 10 years in limbo with Nick McKim

We must urgently grant permanence to 31,000 people subjected to Mr Morrison’s failed “Fast Track” process, including all people living on TPV/SHEV

#fairness

It’s such an honour to be spending the day in Parliament with 3 incredible, powerful refugee women leaders in Asma, Betia Shakiba, vashini & baby Ruh 😍 fighting for permanent protection for all 31,000 refugees and people seeking asylum who have been in limbo for a decade.

This is so rare, so when it happens it’s a big deal! 4 cross-bench MPs in Andrew Wilkie MP Allegra Spender Zoe Daniel Kate Chaney signing on together with refugees and the ASRC to the same press release, calling for protection protection for 31,000 refugees & people seeking asylum

A highlight of our day! 🥰

Early morning flight to Canberra with Asma Mohammad Rahim to join passionate advocates for refugees Kon Karapanagiotidis, Jana Favero 🇮🇹 and two other amazing people with lived experience who will advocate for refugees on TPV/SHEV, in detentions and work rights in the parliament today.

Today our youngest advocate Ruh and his amazing mom vashini are at the Australian Parliament House to lobby for #fairness for refugees and people seeking asylum in Australia. #AusPol2022

BREAKING: Nades and Priya’s close friend vashini is at Parliament House today with Asma and Betia to meet with MPs to talk about why people seeking asylum need permanent visas!

Max has still NOT been found.

That’s 4 days. If he is in Sydney, it’s cold, rainy, windy and more heavy waters to come.

All eyes and resources must be used to find Max. ABC News Guardian Australia please do the same correspondence for missing Aboriginal Children.

Over a thousand people are still locked up in detention indefinitely. Hundreds of them for more than 10 years.
How long do they have to wait for their freedom?
No one has ever answered this question in Parliament House!

Day 19

Since 2018, Australia has watched as the Nadesalingam family - affectionately known as the Biloela family - fought to be allowed to stay in the country. Now, Priya is sharing their story in her own words.
