And we are live! @asrc1.bsky.social World Refugee Day Telethon kicks off with a powerful Welcome to Country from Uncle Tony Garvey.

Today is World Refugee Day but we honour and acknowledge the Wurundjeri people whose country we work on.

Today 2,000 pages of 9,000 conversations and recommendations will be delivered to the Victorian Parliament.

Exposing the harm and injustice but also paving the way for Treaty.

I walk in solidarity & call for voice, treaty and truth. And will continue to turn up.

Special thanks to all the amazing @asrc1.bsky.social volunteers who make it possible to work with over 7,000 people seeking asylum and refugees.

Disgusting to see Advance Australia leave rubbish behind at polling booths in Wills. I watched them pack up and leave all this behind.

Pretty much sums up their rubbish campaign.

Election day is finally here!
I have just voted - refugees policies of fairness, freedom and safety at the front of mind as I cast my vote.

Great to see democracy in action, and the fabulous local Coburg school community keeping voters nourished! 🌭🧁

Over the past 5 weeks, the @asrc1.bsky.social has been encouraging people to #votewithrefugees.

We have hosted 5 forums with 13 candidates (ZERO Liberals), 7 days of pre poll across numerous booths & handed out thousands of scorecards.
People are demanding compassion, & rejecting cruelty.

This is your budget reply?
Scapegoating migrants.
How predictable, lazy and out of touch.
(And also not true, just imagine how disastrous for our economy without migrants!).

Today, 15 years ago I started a new job. I got off by bike and walked through Flagstaff gardens and into to a pokey office with colourful walls. Welcomed into an organisation with 15 staff, hundreds of volunteers and a big heart. 

That organisation, of course, is the @asrc1.bsky.social

Spot the Difference….

In the late hours of the Senate last night, the Albanese Gov colluded with the Coalition to pass three brutal migration bills.

These bills will have far-reaching implications for tens of thousands of people in our community

36 bills in the last day of Parliament, including 3 brutal migration bills.

This is not good for democracy or sound law making.

Especially when the migration bills will separate families, return people to harm and target refugees.

What a shameful day it will be.

Appearing at Senate Hearing tonight to outline our deep concern with the Govt's rushed deportation bill.

"This bill could impact tens of 1000s of ppl. We all know people who weren’t born in Aust but are without a doubt part of our community. They are people who call Aust home."

I spoke to @satpaper.bsky.social about the situation on Nauru

“This is about people, not about politics. These people are arriving on our shores …

“It’s layers of cruelty – cruelty upon cruelty.”
