Newly appointed Minister for Home Affairs and Minister of Immigration, Clare O’Neil and Andrew Giles, have been met with pleas from the Human Rights Law Centre calling for an overhaul of Australia’s current refugee policies.
Senior Lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre, Josephine Langbien, called the current policies as being “driven by cruelty and fear,” and said that the Australian government is presented with an important opportunity to reshape the way people seek safety in this country.
“There is much work to be done to restore humanity and dignity to Australia’s refugee protection system.”
Five steps have been outlined by the Human Rights Law Centre for the ministers.
