Why

Permanent Visas for all refugees

Speakers include:

Sudesh Somu - Tamil refugee

Refugees in Melbourne have been camping outside the minister of Home Affairs Clare O'Neils office for nearly two weeks. They are demanding permanent protection.

For over ten years, more than 10,000 refugees have been living in limbo in Australia. They are victims of Scott Morrison's flawed fast track processing system. Labor has abolished this unfair system but has done nothing about the victims of this system of processing. These refugee are disadvantaged in the labour market, permanently seperated from their families and can't send their children to university without paying exorbinate international fees. They need permanent protection now. Come and join the protest and show your solidarity with the Melbourne campers and the refugees living in limbo.
