ASRC

We surveyed families seeking asylum at the ASRC and discovered a crisis: 68% can’t afford heating and 31% are skipping doctor visits. Today, we’re launching our Winter Appeal to help keep families warm this winter. Donate today: pulse.ly/fotgjsg4bk

Dog whistles about “mass deportations” are not leadership. They’re a distraction from the real issues facing our community. People deserve serious policy solutions, not fear campaigns designed to scapegoat migrants and refugees. @abcnews_au @janafavero

When Mina arrived with her children they had nothing and nowhere stable to go. At the ASRC, they found medical care, housing support, and a pathway to safety. This is what your support makes possible. Turning crisis into stability. Donate via pulse.ly/tcrsurcnqh

‘Blatant lie’: Fury over Coalition plan news.com.au/national/polit…

The 5 million Angus Taylor thinks don’t vote and the millions in their households who do. Angus Taylor thinks he’s punishing non-citizens. They can’t vote, so it’s a free hit. That’s the entire logic. But it’s a logic only someone who has never lived in the big cities would consider. In the suburbs that decide elections, the household, not the individual, is the political unit. Three generations under one roof or in the same suburb. Grandparents on partner visas. Parents holding PR while the citizenship queue grinds on. Citizen kids enrolled to vote, working part-time, doing the family’s Services Australia paperwork at the kitchen table. Strip the NDIS from a permanent resident and you have not touched a single voter directly. You have touched their daughter. Their son. Their citizen niece. And they vote, very deliberately, for the people in their family who cannot. This is exactly the structural shape of post-war migrant Australia. Greek, Italian, Maltese, Lebanese, Vietnamese households where the citizen children voted for the whole family. It is alive and well, three generations on, in the outer suburbs the Coalition needs to win government. Taylor has told every one of those households that in his Australia, their parents are second-class. He thinks he’s chasing Hanson voters in Farrer. He’s actually handing Labor a permanent structural lock on the seats that decide who governs. And he has possibly committed his party to losing opposition status at the next election.

What a disgraceful budget reply speech by Angus Taylor. He lied to the Australian public to demonise migrants. He said non - citizens receive welfare the minute they arrive in Australia. This is a bald face lie and he knows it and is depending on you not. Let’s talk FACTS

Angus Taylor has misled the nation in his budget reply speech tonight. The Coalition are clearly more interested in stoking fear and division than delivering serious policy solutions. Our media release: asrc.org.au/2026/05/14/the…

You don’t solve a housing crisis by scapegoating migrants and refugees. People deserve facts, solutions and leadership - not fear mongering. Read more: asrc.org.au/2026/05/14/the… Guardian Live Blog, @janafavero👇🏽

Dog whistles. Fear. Division. In his Budget Reply speech tonight, Angus Taylor chose to scapegoat migrants and refugees instead of offering real solutions to the housing crisis and cost of living pressures Australians are facing. Fearmongering is not leadership.

Taylor’s budget reply speech is a disgrace. Dog whistling “mass migration.” Which hard working everyday Aussies is he speaking of? The ones that keep our emergency hospital departments open, our tradies making our construction industry possible or the ones caring for our aged.

Angus Taylor again demonising migrants in his budget reply speech how dare he conflate migrants with terrorism. Shameful. Once again smearing millions of hard working Australians. Skilled migrants contribute more in taxes and to the economy than people born here.

For Mina, the Foodbank meant knowing there would be food while everything else was uncertain. That critical support creates space for safety and stability. Help ensure families don’t go without the basics. Donate via pulse.ly/8ikjbkp1pe

than 90% without any access to income support while committing another $1.8 billion to offshore detention.

The Albanese Government chose cruelty over compassion, exclusion over welcome and billions for offshore detention and breadcrumbs for families seeking asylum here, in #Budget2026. They’ve maintained 93% of Dutton’s cut to a safety net for families seeking asylum, leaving more…

Today at Parliament, the media attention given to One Nation was on an entirely different scale to coverage of the real impacts of the Federal Budget on everyday people and vulnerable communities. That should concern all of us.
