Six Years (of Indefinite Detention) Too Long

#notinourname

The sixth anniversary of Australia reinstating offshore detention processing should push the country to close a "dark and bloody" chapter in its history, Greens Senator Nick McKim has told SBS News.



The senator is travelling to Manus Island on Wednesday ahead of the anniversary of the policy by the Rudd government  (Friday 19 July), which stipulated that all asylum seekers who arrived by boat would not be resettled in Australia but be processed in Papua New Guinea and resettled there. Offshore processing was reinstated by the Gillard government in 2012. 

Hundreds of people are expected to take part in protests around Australia at the weekend under the tagline "six years too long".

#I'mwithyou  #I'm with you
Rural Australians for Refugees (Bellingen - Nambucca) held a market stall in Bellingen to remind rural Australians that these detention camps detain asylum seekers indefinitely. 




 Next time you see our stall at the Valla, Coffs Harbour or Bellingen markets please come a sign our petitions or a message of hope to asylum seekers.
