Victorian Labor is trying to limit our protest rights. It's an attack on Palestine solidarity and much more. MPs are debating a new bill today. Join the rally in Melbourne this afternoon (Tuesday) from 5.30pm at Parliament.

Despite reports that Australia's govt is spending $1.5m a year for each person it holds in Nauru, asylum seekers there are going hungry: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Immigration attorneys have reported small but sharply rising numbers of U.S. citizens seeking asylum in Canada, the UK, Ireland and other European countries. Add Australia to the list. New @australia.theguardian.com story with input from @danghez.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

🚨"The migration sector, already struggling with scarce resources, is now being forced to operate quietly, fearing that visibility will bring abuse or even physical danger. The result is a chilling effect: we’re being pressured into silence..." www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... 1/2

Forced to flee for her activism, Rosalie arrived in Australia with nothing. Today, she’s training, working, and speaking out. Her story is powerful, necessary, and full of purpose. 👉 Read Rosalie’s story now in our latest blog: https://asylumseekerscentre.org.au/blog-rosalie/

You can’t make this shit up. Deport men of colour, refugees to Nauru on the claim they are not of good character while giving tens of millions to a notorious outlaw motorcycle gang to provide the security there, in a secret deal. The corruption stinks. www.theage.com.au/national/lea...

Human rights lawyers, refugee advocates and the Greens have accused the Albanese government of striking a “discriminatory, disgraceful and dangerous” deal to deport hundreds of foreign-born former detainees at a cost of almost half a billion dollars. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"On Sunday, so-called Marches for Australia will take place across the country. These are the angry and divisive voices of a tiny minority spreading hate from a position of fear, with no idea what Australia truly means." - Elijah Buol OAM, ASC CEO [1/3]
