Once more we are hearing reports of self harming and desperation amongst the asylum seekers held in detention on Manus Island in PNG. It is almost 12 months since the violence directed at the detainess by locals and staff, which left Reza Berati dead, and several other men seriously injured.  There are over 1000 men held on Manus Island, who are anxious about their future, fearing for their safety if they are ‘resettled’ in PNG, and fearful of being deported to…

In a similar application (M61) in 2010, the High Court found that asylum seekers were entitled to judicial review of appeal decisions. The High Court judgement means that there is now no legal impediment to the government moving to deport a large number of asylum seekers. Around 180 asylum seekers were attached to…

GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATION OVER NAURU TRANSFERS With the arrival of three more asylum boats in the last 24 hours, the total number of asylum seekers reaching Australia since 13 August is now over 2100 – enough to fill both Nauru and Manus Island. “The Minister’s announcement that asylum seekers will be moved to Nauru is just shabby political posturing,” said Ian Rintoul speaking on behalf of the Refugee Action Coalition. “Chris Bowen has already said that neither Nauru nor Manus Island…

Archived Press Releases

The Australian Government’s interest in the refugee protection measures recommended by the Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers has not matched its haste to implement the Panel’s recommendations on deterrence, the Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA) says. RCOA CEO Paul Power said that the political debate and the activity within the Parliament since Monday’s release of the Expert Panel report had focused almost exclusively on just three of the Expert Panel’s 22 recommendations – those related to re-establishing forced transfers of asylum seekers to Nauru and Manus…

POSTCARDS TO PARLIAMENTAs part of the national actions held by refugee groups on or around Palm Sunday, the Amnesty International Refugee Rights Action Group Tasmania will have a table on Parliament Lawns, offering passersby prepared, stamped postcards to sign and send to Parliament. The previous Australian Government set the annual intake of refugees through the Refugee and Humanitarian Program at one of its lowest levels in 45 years, at just 13,750 places. This is despite the need for resettlement having never been greater, with approximately 100 million people currently displaced around the world. We are calling on the Australian Government to increase the annual intake to at least 30,000 places in the upcoming 2022–23 budget, giving priority to people selected by the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees, and to keep the promise to make places available through the Community Sponsorship Program additional to the annual humanitarian intake. We are also asking Federal Parliament to enact a Human Rights Act to ensure that all fundamental rights are protected and appropriately balanced.When: SATURDAY, 1 April 2023, 11 a.m.–1 p.m.Where: Parliament Lawns, Hobart Please join us. Spread the word. Share this post.
