Why

Support the refugees protesting in Nundah.

Refugees in Brisbane have been protesting day and night continually for 39 days. First they were outside of the office of Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Now they are outside Sports Minister Anika Wells office in Nundah.

The refugee protest is part of a national campaign designed to bring attention to the plight of about 10,000 refugees who are living on bridging visas. Some refugees don't have work rights and must rely on charity, some have no medicare card, their children can't study beyond high school and they are constantly stressed worrying about their future. Some have been living in this state of insecurity for twelve, sometimes for fifteen years.

After the police harassment of the refugees in Logan it is important to show your support by joining this community rally on Sunday.

Permanent visas now!
