Just a reminder that, as the ASIO boss has confirmed, NO ONE is 'compromis[ing] on those settings which provide screening of people who are coming in from a war zone.' So put away the dog-whistle, please, Mr Dutton; we can manage our borders AND be compassionate to people escaping a hellish warzone.

Gotta say, as a Uniting Church minister reading #AmeliaHamer’s co-option and misrepresentation of the Christian faith makes me sick to my stomach. What did Jesus say about the poor, marginalised, the stranger, Amelia? Have you ever even opened a Bible?

Imagine going to work in the morning, being told to go and harass homeless people and throw away their only shelter, then going ahead and doing that instead of refusing?
