Unite to Support the Refugee Encampment

Saturday, 24 August 2024 - 9:00am to 9:30am

News and labour updates from the Asia Pacific region.

We listened back to sounds and speeches from the "Unite to Support the Refugee encampment" rally, a solidarity event held by the Refugee Action Coalition last Friday 16th August in support of refugees camping out in front of the Home Affairs office on Bourke Street in Docklands. The collective of refugees who initiated the encampment are demanding permanent protection from the government and have vowed to stay put until their permanent visas are granted, despite hostilities from police and local council and harassment and intimidation from neo-nazis.
