Archbishop Fisher launches appeal for Afghan refugees cathnews.com/cathnews/42052…

“Our moral duty is to take as many as we can. We believe that can be 20k Afghans as an additional intake because our humanitarian cap was already cut by 5k last year to 13,750” #ActionforAfghanistan sbs.com.au/news/this-is-w…
