Over the past few months the Liberal Party has been distributing their divisive ‘Illegal boat arrivals’ flyers in marginal seats around Australia. If you’ve received one and would like some ideas on how to respond (beyond just tearing it up), we’re working on some suggestions.

With its recent attempts to deport two Tamils back to Sri Lanka, the Australian Government showed its increasing disregard for the safety of asylum seekers and contempt for international advice. In addition to injunctions, there will be times when we need to blockade Perth’s detention centre; join us if you want to help stop the government deporting people back to danger.

Many of the refugees in our detention centres speak little or no English, yet they receive minimal support from our government or the companies paid to provide care. Through the ‘Dictionaries for Refugees’ program, RRAN has been giving bilingual dictionaries to the people in Australia’s detention centres for over one year now, and so can you.
