09.01.2022 As If We Weren’t Humans is a timely and important discussion of the devastating impacts of discrimination, lack of support and denial of access to basic services by the Australian government on temporary migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Bridging Visa Project team has been examining the impact of this denial of services on a particularly vulnerable group of temporary migrants people seeking asylum who are being denied a bridging visa by the Minister for Home Affairs, Peter Dutton.
