The coronavirus and the desperate situation of asylum seekers

Friday, 17 April 2020 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jennifer interviews Marcella Brassett from the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre about the desperate situation of asylum seekers living in the community in the time of the coronavirus. Many have no income at all from the government and have lost the casual work they were dependent on just to survive. Marcella tells us what the ASRC is doing to support asylum seekers, and how we can support its work and its campaigning for change. Details are provided here:
