I want to care for my family
" I am separated from my wife and I can't hug my son. I miss them very much. I don't understand why I cannot live with them when they're out in the community.”
Saif Ali Saif
I am a survivor
“I am a survivor of offshore detention on Nauru. It’s time now for the government to give freedom and a home to all my brothers and sisters who have survived offshore processing.”
Betelhem Tibebu
I will not give up
“I am a civil engineer but I don’t have a future.
The Government has imprisoned us for 8 precious years of life, away from loved ones and community. It’s time for Prime Minister Morrison to give us freedom to start life again in a safe, new home.”
Farhad Rahmati
WHY IT’S #TIMEFORAHOME
No matter where we come from or how we got here, everyone needs a safe place to call home.
But for the past seven years, successive governments have enacted harmful policies against people seeking asylum, including the indefinite detention of everyone who arrived by boat after 19 July 2013.
Today, there are still 290 people held against their will in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. Over 1000 women, men and children have been transferred to Australia for critical medical treatment and now live in ‘transitory’ visa limbo. Over 200 of those people are held in locked immigration detention centres and so-called ‘alternative places of detention’, such as the Mantra and Kangaroo Point hotel prisons.
Countless Parliamentary and Departmental inquiries, UN investigations, reports by the Australian Human Rights Commission, and numerous whistleblowers, including the government’s own doctors have repeatedly told us the same story of systematic abuse, violence and medical neglect of people held in detention facilities. Tragically, 13 people have died in these centres.
After 7 long years of toxic politics, it’s time the Government frees these women, men and children, and quickly resettles them into our community, so they can be safe and have a place to call home.
Time for release from detention.
Time for a permanent resettlement solution.
Time for a home.
