'The proposed bill exposes us, the very people they once stood with, to the potential harm of the regime they condemned. It is a betrayal of the values of justice and compassion that Australia claims to uphold.' Betia Shakiba, lawyer and advocate from Iran

RAC joined the 12,000 Captive Souls group protesting outside the office of Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil MP.
They’re calling for permanent visas after 11 years in limbo. We agree 💯.
