An Australian entrepreneur has made it his business to feed as many refugees as possible, and it's a winning recipe for success.

Did you know that unlike prisons, immigration detention centres do not have laws that govern them Did you know it remains lawful in Australia to indefinitely detain a human being for seeking asylum Did you know there exists no time limits that compel review We need reform now

Did you know it costs more to detain one refugee on Nauru than to fund the entire Asylum Seeker Resource Centre for a year? Have your money do good not harm. Make a tax - deductible donation to our Winter Appeal 👉🏼 bit.ly/3NGffOf

Before & after the Roberts Smith verdict, most Australians are only interested in how our legacy in Afg. effects our own. An Afghan org was documenting atrocities like those uncovered by ⁦@smh⁩ & informing the ADF since 2009. My piece out today. smh.com.au/national/driving-…

22 refugees are still trapped on Nauru. This government has budgeted $485 million to hold people there. Per person, it's more than they spent last year on the entire safety net for people seeking asylum living in our community - which 98% can’t access

Senate estimates just confirmed 22 people on Nauru $485m for the current contract solely for Nauru ‘Clear Govt policy to reduce number of people on Nauru’. Currently no similar policy for PNG. #auspol #refugees

Here is my latest opinion piece. I am finally reunited with my family after 13 years as refugees. But the genocidal threat for Hazaras in Afghanistan remains. Thank you Australia ❤️ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

After 10 years of neglect, abuse, family separation, harm, denial of rights and loss of freedom we must urgently evacuate the remaining 110 people on PNG and Nauru. #auspol

The ALP & @AlboMP went to the election with a commitment to raise #Australia's refugee/ humanitarian intake from 13,750 to 27,000 places. It's devastating this promise has not been delivered. #Budget2023 ⬇️

Replying to @ASRC1
2)🚫No increase in the humanitarian intake, despite 100 million people forcibly displaced globally and historically low levels of refugee intake. The Albanese Government won the election with a policy of increasing the humanitarian intake to 27,000 places, this cannot wait.
