The nightmare continues

Dear Prime Minister,

Every day we see the men on Manus Island get thinner, tireder, sicker.

Minister Dutton has taken it upon himself to direct Australia's Foreign Policy. Has he usurped Minister Bishop's role?

You claimed yesterday's 'Yes' same-sex marriage survey result as a sign of Australia's decency. Ask the 1000+ men that Australia has exiled to Papua New Guinea about our decency. Ask the citizens of Manus Island and Nauru about our decency. Rhetoric does not create decency. Australia is being judged by its criminal actions towards refugees. We have no decency.

Evacuate all refugees from Manus, Port Moresby and Nauru to freedom and safety now.
