URGENT CAMPAIGN FOR ALL SUPPORTERS OF A HUMANITARIAN ASYLUM SEEKERS POLICY



TELL FEDERAL LABOR: SUPPORT PETRO GEORGIOUS'S PRIVATE MEMBER'S BILL AS A STEP TOWARDS A MORE COMPASSIONATE APPROACH TO ASYLUM SEEKERS
www.labor4refugees.org/campaign

Liberal backbencher Petro Georgiou will introduce two Private Member's Bill
to the Commonwealth Parliament which aim to fundamentally change Australia's
system of processing asylum seekers. These proposals would end indefinite
immigration detention, release children from detention and allow refugees
who have been granted temporary protection to live in the community
permanently.

Clearly this represents a significant step forward, but Labor has so far
refused to offer full support for the Georgiou Private Member's Bill. You
can help! Visit: www.labor4refugees.org/campaign/ to send a message directly
to the Federal ALP: Labor should support these Bills as a step towards a
more compassionate policy for asylum seekers!
All supporters of the campaign for a humanitarian approach to refugees and
asylum seekers should get active in this campaign.
