The ALP & Anthony Albanese went to the election with a commitment to raise #Australia's refugee/ humanitarian intake from 13,750 to 27,000 places. It's devastating this promise has not been delivered. #Budget2023 ⬇️

Here is my latest opinion piece. I am finally reunited with my family after 13 years as refugees. But the genocidal threat for Hazaras in Afghanistan remains. Thank you Australia ❤️ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Senate estimates just confirmed 22 people on Nauru $485m for the current contract solely for Nauru ‘Clear Govt policy to reduce number of people on Nauru’. Currently no similar policy for PNG. #auspol #refugees
