More than 100 refugees and supporters marched through the streets on September 27 to demand permanent visas for approximately 10,000 refugees who have been living on temporary visas for 12 years.
Refugees are continuing their encampment outside the Home Affairs department in Bourke Street, Docklands.
Each Friday at 5pm, they rally and march through nearby streets. Supporters are welcome to join in.
