Close the camps: #BringThemHere, #NoVotesInDetention. Regardless of which party takes power at this election, Australia will continue to incarcerate refugees as political prisoners. Many are self-harming and committing suicide. Sexual violence is common and women are denied basic maternity care. Detainees are fighting back, and soon will have been protesting for 100 days on Nauru and over a month on Manus Island. It's time for us to stand in solidarity with them and disrupt business as usual to close the camps and end mandatory detention. 4pm. Department of Immigration and Border Protection, cnr Spring and Lonsdale Sts, City.
