Sarah Hanson-Young, said. “We welcome news today the…

Revelations by The Project that Australian authorities had the birth certificate of an Indonesian boy but ignored it before he was later jailed alongside dangerous adult offenders shows why there must be an audit into similar cases, the Greens said. “I’m appalled that this vital document was not given any consideration in determining his age or presented to a court after he was charged with people smuggling,” Greens’ immigration and youth affairs spokesperson, Sen. Sarah Hanson-Young, said tonight. “Jasmin should…

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.
