Seeking asylum is a fundamental human right, yet thousands of people are still held in indefinite detention either offshore or in Australia₁.

End the harm being caused in our name to these people trapped in limbo. Give those people found to be refugees a chance to make a new home.

Now that the kids are off Nauru, we need to also provide them with permanent resettlement options either here, or in a suitable third country like New Zealand.

More people are displaced around the world now than at any time in recorded history. No one chooses to be displaced. Leaving home is always a last resort.

To do our fair share in this unprecedented global humanitarian crisis, the Australian government should raise our Humanitarian Intake to welcome 44,000 refugees every year.*

This is the biggest humanitarian challenge of our time and it's the poorest countries which are impacted the most.

Developing countries host 85 per cent of the world’s refugees.

The Australian Government must increase our aid to those developing countries, so they can provide shelter, education, health services and access to work for refugees, while still providing for the needs of its own population.
