@mon4kooyong.bsky.social asking the question on all our minds today in Parliament. The Albanese Government's secret, wasteful and cruel Nauru deal is not our national interest - and it doesn't align with our shared values. It's time for the cruel offshore detention regime to end.

WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING? This suggests the gov knew of corruption allegations against Nauruan President before signing the new deportation deal. We need a Royal Commission into Offshore Processing to uncover what successive governments knew about corruption & cruelty https://pulse.ly/3xgcv3wyux

It's been a big day in Parliament house, exposing corruption, secrecy and advocating for the rights of people seeking asylum. Thank you to all ASRC members and supporters.

Kon & whistleblower Oisin Donohoe on the corruption in offshore detention. It has to stop. Email your MP via the link in our bio or at: https://pulse.ly/xd9tlz0ug1

The Nauruan President secretly visited Parliament yesterday. Secret meetings behind closed doors, billions in taxpayer money down the drain, people exiled to Nauru by Australia unable to even access enough food. It’s way past time to end this. https://pulse.ly/cq6wjzr9z9

While corrupt officials and bikie gangs get rich, people seeking asylum are warehoused on a remote island without adequate food, medical care and safety. Email your MP to demand accountability, transparency, and an end to this corruption and abuse. https://pulse.ly/ktd1galyzn

Corruption, dirty deals and secrecy in offshore detention on the front page of . Minister will you release information about the Nauru contracts for public scrutiny?

The Government needs to hear from you now. We won't stand for cruelty and deportations. Call your MP and key Ministers today. You'll probably speak to a staffer or voice mail, but they count ever message, so every call helps! Find your MP at: https://www.aph.gov.au/senators_and_members/members

The Albanese Government has just deported the first person under their shady new deal with Nauru. To stop these deportations, we need to show the Government that we won’t accept this kind of cruelty being carried out in our name. Can you email your MP today?

Last night we celebrated 18 incredible graduates of our Refugee Leadership Training Program. Over 8 weeks, they’ve built skills, shared stories& defined the leaders they want to be. Seeing them receive their certificates was a powerful reminder: the future is brighter because of voices like theirs.

If you’ve been following our advocacy – from Parliament visits to refugee-led protests and demands to end the limbo for more than 8,000 people seeking asylum failed by the Fast Track visa system – you will likely know the name and face of Rathy Barthlote.

Narges, Nooshad, Rathy and Thanu are at Parl House this week with @ASRC1 to represent the 1000s of ppl failed by the cruel and broken Fast Track process. They’ve lived & worked in Aust for over a decade - raising families as part of our community. Yet they’re still waiting for permanency.
