Guys if you’re in Australia there are a heap of vigils for the Tamil family from Biloela across the country today. Please attend if you can, there’s ones in the major cities as well as at parliament house lawns. This breaks my heart but the people have power and we need to use it.

This July will mark 5 years since the 'PNG solution' was announced
5 years of limbo in offshore detention hellholes
2 years since Manus was declared illegal
Over one and a half years since "US refugee deal" announced
12 deaths offshore
Its time - Bring Them Here!

Behrouz Bouchani - live cross fom Manus
Luke Hilikari - Victorian Trades Hall Council
Huong Truong - Greens MP for Western Suburbs
Mohamed Xarbi - refugee and journalist with Universal Somali TV
Lavanya Thavaraja - Tamil Refugee Council
On the 19th of July 2013, then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced that all asylum seekers who arrived in Australia by boat would not be resettled here. This July marks five years too many for the refugees and asylum seekers on Manus and Nauru.
We need to loudly tell the Coalition government to Bring Them Here, and as we get closer to a federal election to tell the ALP it's time to change policy.
End Offshore processing
End Boat turnbacks
CLOSE MANUS, CLOSE NAURU
BRING THEM HERE

We’ve seen plenty of protests recently, the March on Washington, March for our Lives, the Vote Yes rallies, and refugee advocacy groups have closed down Pitt Street and Broadway to march for the rights of people seeking asylum in Australia. But does this actually change anything? Eliza Spencer spoke to four advocates who share their perspective on Australian protest in 2018.

Throwback to an Easter protest against how our government mistreats refugees. People come here to flee persecution and get stuck in indefinite detention in horrible conditions. Even when their claims as refugees are verified the government refuses to let them come to Australia. The government will even refuse to relocate them even when New Zealand offers to take them in Prime Minister after Prime Minister. High rates of depression and self harm affect men, women, and children as they languish in indefinite detention. The UN has labelled it torture. Innocent people suffer while the government demonises them. These are human beings our government has decided to either torture or turn back to persecution and potentially death. Several months on from this protest and nothing has changed. Our government has a hard line policy to be deliberately cruel as a deterrent, using misinformation about refugees to distract from the real problems that face us. This is our national shame and the world should know that we have imprisoned people for years with no charge and no known release date. #bringthemhere #refugees #manusisland #asylumseekers #auspol #nauru #indefinitedetention

Good protest today but we can't afford to relax for a moment. The 600 men on Manus are being threatened with armed force if they continue their peaceful protest. We need to double our efforts! #SOSManus #EndTheSiege #BringThemHere (at Melbourne)
