Adelaide Refugee Supporters
Venue: 55 Currie Street, Adelaide (Outside Allianz building or Dept of Foreign Affairs)
Weekly action: Wednesdays, 12-1pm
The Adelaide Refugee Supporters are seeking a permanent solution for 30 000 people Australia wide that are stuck on temporary or bridging visas, some for more than ten years. In Adelaide, there are approximately 600 people in this category. Many struggle during COVID to keep their jobs and all are looking for a permanent solution. This is not real freedom: real freedom is when you can relax and be part of a country and are able to plan a future with confidence. There are similar protests around Australia in Hobart, Melbourne, Adelaide, Darwin and Perth, all being held at Home Affairs offices at the same time, with the purpose being to give refugees a voice and a chance to stand up and tell their stories. There is also advocacy for those in detention with over 1000 in detention centres or alternative places of detention around Australia. There are still 230 men in PNG and Nauru, as well.
