24.01.2022 Tassie Nannas are raising money to send a second refugee to Canada. Seven years detention for no crime is unforgivable. If our government won’t free the refug...ees, then we will. Come along to our fund raising stall and support our cause. Lots of knitted goods, knitted with love by Nannas. Especially hats. Lots of hats. And much more. See more

17.01.2022 Were you unable to make our TRLS movie night fundraisers to see the inspirational true story Saint Judy? You are now able to watch Saint Judy from the comfort ...of your own home and support TRLS whilst you watch. How great is that, if we do say so ourselves?! Our partners Films for Fundraising have created this online fundraising event for us. You can view on one screen, or there's even the opportunity to purchase multiple screenings to share your unique code with family and friends. The film is the inspirational true story of immigration attorney Judy Wood and her fight that changed American asylum law forever. The event will run from Wed, 18 Nov 2020, 4:00 PM until Sun, 22 Nov 2020, 11:00 PM AEDT and you can watch the film anytime that suits you during this period. If you saw the film at our fundraisers and enjoyed it, we would love you to share the link with your family, friends and colleagues! We are again using Eventbrite as the platform, and the link to purchase tickets is found here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/saint-judy-online-movie-fun Thank you for your ongoing support of TRLS and the work that we do.

15.01.2022 URGENT ACTION: Senator Lambie has posted a survey asking how she should vote on the mobile phone ban bill.

11.01.2022 Saturday, 12 September was a glorious sunny day and Salamanca Market was uncharacteristically quiet, but many of those who were out and about stopped to chat. More than 50 people signed letters urging the Federal Government to extend support to asylum seekers affected by the ongoing economic downturn.
