Well deserved recognition for Jane “If she could say one thing to Australia’s political leaders, it would be: “Grow a heart, live off principles and recover our belief in human rights.” King’s birthday honours: a nun who spent 26 days outside parliament theguardian.com/australia-news…

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay, the centre of #RefugeeWeek. We're spotlighting the pivotal role families have in the lives of refugees. Australia must play a greater part in constructively responding to the increasing displacement of people across the world. #RefugeeWeekAU

Although over 750,000 Rohingya were forced to flee their homeland 7 years ago, Australia has accepted only a few hundred Rohingya since 2008. The Australian Government must honour its commitment to increase resettlement places for Rohingya refugees. refugeecouncil.org.au/rohingya-7-yea…
