This Bill, introduced by the Australian Government on 27 March, has passed the House of Representatives and is now in the Senate, where it has been referred to a Senate Committee inquiry projected to report back on 7 May. If the Bill becomes law, it will have very significant impacts on human rights and Australia's international reputation. It is also likely to contravene the International Convention and Protocols on Refugees to which Australia is a signatory.

Please email your Senators now and ask them to reject the Bill in its entirety. You can use the template provided or better still, use your own words. For more information and to take action please click HERE. Thank you.

Solidarity is the kind of presence that costs you something.

 Humankind has not woven the web of life.

We are but one thread within it.

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

All things are bound together.

All things connect.
