24.01.2022 BREAKING: Senator Jacqui Lambie has said she will vote against the Coalition's bill to ban mobile phones in detention!! Over 100,000 people filled out Senator L...ambie's survey with 96% telling her to vote NO! Firstly, we must recognise the bravery from those held in detention, who have continued to speak out and advocate for their rights. Secondly we thank everyone who filled out the survey and stood for the rights of people seeking #asylum. And finally, we thank Senator Jacqui Lambie for listening. We still have a long way to go, but collectively we can make a difference. And we must continue to raise our voices until all refugees are given the freedom they deserve. #nophonesnolife

22.01.2022 Grrr!! One of my wonderful Grandmothers for Refugees writes to the Minister about inhumane treatment of people seeking asylum. And the response? Don’t write to ...us again! I mean really, how dare they? The cheek of a publicly accountable government telling voters with a democratic right to bugger off. Anyone had a similar response? See more

20.01.2022 All true unfortunately

19.01.2022 Bitterly disappointing. Spending on financial support to people seeking asylum has been reduced to just $19.6 million in 2020-21, a reduction of $120.2 milli...on in the yearly spend in just three years. The Federal Government will cut the Refugee and Humanitarian Program back to 13,750 places per year, saving $911.3 million over the next four years. The Department of Home Affairs has allocated $1.19 billion to spending on Australia’s offshore processing regime in 2020-21, following a $436 million (83%) blowout in expenditure in 2019-20. #Budget2020

19.01.2022 Senator Jacqui Lambie’s announcement today that she’s opposing the mobile phone ban bill means the Government doesn’t have the numbers and the bill is defeated.... This has been a mammoth effort nationally to defeat the dangerous bill. Tune in for the latest from ASRC Advocacy and Campaigns Director, Jana Favero

14.01.2022 BREAKING: Peter Dutton tried to change our laws so he could take mobile phones from our Biloela family and other innocent people he has trapped in detention. To...day, Senator Jacqui Lambie listened to Australia and said 'no'. It's time for other politicians to start listening and bring Priya, Nades and the girls home to Biloela, where they belong.

13.01.2022 I was running for a long time fighting, struggling. Australia said no, but New Zealand said yes. After six years in detention, this is what life looks like now for Behrouz Boochani.

Plus we’re letting their relatives attend the funerals and we’re PAYING for that too?* https://www.google.com.au//s/amp.abc.net.au/article/1943634 Scott Morrison VS QLD Premier 2020: *paraphrasing, but not by much

07.01.2022 For those tired of seeing refugee posts MAY you never have a Son or Daughter locked up for 8 years purely for deceitful political advantageFor those tired of seeing refugee posts MAY you never have a Son or Daughter locked up for 8 years purely for deceitful political advantage

02.01.2022 "7 years is a long time. No doubt, it feels longer to people who have been detained indefinitely." 60,000 Australians have signed the petition from Amnesty Int...ernational calling for the Australian Government to accept New Zealand's generous offer to resettle refugees from PNG and Nauru. It's time to get this done.
