Why

The Albanese government's decision to grant permanent visas to up to 19000 refugees is is very welcome. But, thousands of people are left out, and will continue on insecure Bridging Visas, with no certainty of their futures. There must be permanent visas for ALL refugees.

Refugees on Bridging Visas receive little or no income support, many are prevented from going to university, some have no work rights and all are separated from their families. These people are suffering, as are those still stuck in immigration detention or on Nauru and PNG.

Now is the time to end the cruelty towards people who simply wanted to find safety and make Australia home. Speakers at the rally include:
Senator David Pocock
Zahra Hashemi Barat
Rev Dr Katherine Rainger

David Rovics, political folk musician, touring Australia from the US, will also sing at the rally.
