The Refugee Action Collective held a protest outside everyone's least-liked potato's electorate office on May 11, attracting a lot of support from passersby.
As RAC spokesperson Mark Gillespie pointed out, the fight for refugees' rights will be boosted by a defeat of Dutton, but it will be far from over, as the cruelty has bipartisan support. He announced a rally to be held on July 19, the 6th anniversary of Rudd (Labor) that asylum-seekers arriving by boat would "never, ever" be settled in Australia.
I had a few words to say. When women are forced to become refugees, they don't leave the patriarchy behind them. When the Nauru detention centre was being prepared, the head of it resigned, warning that women would nor be safe from sexual assault there. Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton are responsible for letting that cone to pass.
We won't stop till all the refugees are free.
