The Greens’ Evacuate To Safety Bill will come before Parliament tomorrow. If passed it would finally bring the refugees still held offshore to Australia. That includes 66 asylum seekers on Nauru, and 92 people in PNG.
Of the 60 submissions to the inquiry into this bill, only one opposed the it – the Department of Home Affairs.
We can end this horrible, blood-soaked chapter of cruelty tomorrow. The only people standing in the way are Labor.
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, journalist and activist Behrouz Boochani, refugee rights advocates around the country, and our compassionate communities want awful regime to end.
Now is the critical moment to call your Labor MPs and demand they pass this bill.
Close the camps. Bring them here.
Refugees held offshore plead with Australia to be moved, saying ‘every day is suffering’
