URGENT
The Albanese Labor Government is rushing through legislation that may impact on vulnerable individuals, including the risk of returning them to danger.
Write/Email your Senator to express your concerns NOW.
The bill has already passed the House of Representatives, and is currently in a Senate inquiry before it goes to a final vote early May - we don’t have much time and we urgently need your help.
If this bill gets through the Senate and becomes law, it could lead to refugees being banned entry to Australia or forced to return to countries where they face persecution or even death.

Big Walk 4 Refugees
Delegation met at Parliament on the final day.
From the 13th Feb over 66,600 kms were walked - 4 laps of Australia and 16,000 virtual laps of Parliament.
What a fabulous show of support for refugees living here for over a decade to finally be able to call Australia home.
On the final day, March 16, a delegation of young people with lived experience went to Canberra and met with MPs and Senators to share their stories.
Here in Adelaide Justice for Refugees SA joined in the walk and also financially supported the Australian Refugees Action Network (ARAN) in organising the Big Walk.
