Lambie was taken for a ride. US, Canada & NZ arrangements could all have been managed together enabling much faster resettlement - which should have always been the priority. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Evacuate PNG & Nauru. Let refugees rebuild their lives. Email your MP👇 action.asrc.org.au/evacuate-png-n…

In 2021-22, asylum applications to AAT averaged 900 per month while decisions have averaged less than 500 per month. Without a massive injection of funding, asylum backlog at AAT will continue to grow creating a honeypot for the unscrupulous to abuse OZ asylum system.

Trickle down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

From 1700s, British FCO believed dark skin people would happily work forever picking fruit, cotton, etc at low pay & appalling conditions. In 2022, DFAT & some academics at ANU believe the same. ⁦National Farmers' Federation⁩ never stopped believing. independentaustralia.net/politics/polit…

Refugees telling their own stories will change the heart of Australia refugeecouncil.org.au/refugee-storie…

There should be no barriers for a skilled employer sponsored temporary visa holder being sponsored for permanent residence. This bizarre idea was first developed by Peter Dutton in 2017-18 & appears to have been extended in 2019. sbs.com.au/news/article/s…

Today marks 20 years since #auspol introduced Alternative Places of Detention (APODs), including hotels. Daniel Ghezelbash & @AndrewB_GeogMQ created a coast-to-coast map to visualise what's known about this practice that's operated largely in the shadows. kaldorcentre.unsw.edu.au/mapping-use-ho…

‘I can see my family again’: More than 19,000 refugees to qualify for permanent residency smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Conversion to permanency for 19,000+ people is a common sense, humane - and transformative - change which would enable people to rebuild lives with security and belonging — and to reunite with family they’ve been separated from for a decade theage.com.au/politics/feder… Refugee Legal

At end Nov22, there were 125,671 people in OZ on temp grad visas - by far highest on record. Despite larger migration program, not enough employers are offering these people skilled jobs to enable them to secure PR. Why aren't business lobby groups commenting on this?

Michael Walker Yes but not out of choice. They want to use their skills. Business lobby groups keep complaining about skill shortages & want a bigger migration program when what they really want is lots of cheap labour.

The change is expected to benefit tens of thousands of family members awaiting the outcome of visa applications. trib.al/ClsnXWn

This is how a Parliament should work…bringing people together for rational discussions rather than divisive point scoring and mud slinging.👍

Congratulations, Dr Hirsch.

The Yes campaign would be in a far better position if it worked with some of the best progressive campaigners in Australia. Not shutting them out. Like this man. Premier Dan Andrews begun his explanation (on the Voice) by declaring "you get better outcomes when you listen to

Kos Samaras Instead of always focusing on what 'yes' did wrong, why don't we talk about how 'no' used misinformation and fear to contradictorily convince people Voice had too much power, but would also do nothing, while at same time, would divide. An advisory body! accent-research.com/voice

@MolanJill Kos Samaras Victoria Fielding Can’t agree more. Virtually every news program gave coverage to Dutton or Price , who would do a press conference in which they lied, exaggerated, or misled and only took a few Q’s - usually from “friendly” media. Most journos never fact checked statements, just repeated them.

After nearly five years of salivating at the sight of Anthony Albanese trapped by Scott Morrison's oh-so-clever stage three tax cut wedge, the press corp suddenly finds itself caught in the vice, writes Christopher Warren. crikey.com.au/2024/02/06/ant…
