Talking with Labor supporters and we are hearing over and over that they don’t know that the Government is planning to give unprecedented powers to one minister to control the lives of asylum seekers. 🚩

This is the sort of power that can ban asylum seekers from entire countries. It’s the sort of power that could have prevented HometoBilo from ever happening. 🚩 x.com/hometobilo/sta…

It’s the sort of power that could see a single minister so powerful they effectively don’t answer to anyone. 🚩 x.com/rac_canberra/s…

There are concerns that the Government is planning to vote this in with the Liberals near budget time so the whole nation is distracted. 🚩 x.com/rac_canberra/s…

So what can Labor voters do? Contact your MP and Senators and tell them you love Labor but you oppose these Trump style powers. Tell them if they do pass this bill, you will put Labor second at the next election. You can still put the Liberals last. ✅ x.com/asrc1/status/1…
