SetThemFreeAustralia

Leaders representing multiple faiths met this morning to call on @ScottMorrisonMP to end the inhumane, indefinite detention of refugees and asylum seekers.

Hear from Seham on how difficult it is to live in limbo on a TPV in Australia. With two young children, she has no idea of what’s going to happen to her family in three year’s time. vimeo.com/705197288/bb27…

It’s time we open our hearts and #WelcomeRefugees. Read the statement from over 50 multi-faith leaders here welcomerefugees.info/faithstatement @PHUGGINS4 @TimCostello

More than 50 Australian multi faith leaders have signed a statement calling on our leaders to abandon Temporary Protection Visas (TPVs) and instead offer refugees permanent protection. TPVs serve no public policy purpose and have lost community support since their introduction.

Tonight I am free and leaving Australia to start my life in the United States of America. But I won't be happy until all my friends are get released from detention. It's not freedom until we are all free. Thank you all for your support.

It’s time we #SetThemFree!

At 4 pm today, Anglican Bishops Philip Huggins and Paul Barker will be locking themselves in a cage outside Carlton’s Park Hotel. The hotel currently holds 25 refugees and asylum seekers, most of whom have been detained for nearly 9 years. It's time to #SetThemFree.

A message for @ScottMorrisonMP from inside the cage. Let’s stop locking innocent people up. 9 years caged is torture. We’d be screaming if it was us, our family, kids, friends, so how can we possibly do it to others? There’s no justification. Let them go. #GameOver

#SetThemFree NOW. 9 years! #Enoughisenough #only15 #GameOver @ScottMorrisonMP @karenandrewsmp @AlexHawkeMP twitter.com/SetThemFree_AU…

From Scott’s first speech to Parliament. ‘So what values do I derive from my faith?’ he asks. Apparently: ‘to act with compassion & kindness, acknowledging our common humanity & to consider the welfare of others.’ #setthemfree #auspol twitter.com/timcostello/st…
