Govt seeking new laws to jail people with genuine fears of persecution, for up to 5 yrs - plus a fine of up to $94,000 - if they don’t agree to their own deportation to danger. It strikes at the heart of our obligations to protect people fleeing from persecution. Refugee Legal

The real threat posed to the life of the nation under the rule of law & liberty is not the removal of unconstitutional curfews and ankle bracelets, but from laws to circumvent & subvert the HC ruling — & jail people who don’t agree to be be deported to real dangers. Refugee Legal

Govt seeking to rush through new laws to exclude people from coming to Australia solely based on the nationality of those it can’t remove - a discriminatory and draconian overreach. Refugee Legal

BREAKING: Govt seeking to rush through new draconian and dangerous laws to imprison people in fear who it can’t deport, for up to 5 years with a mandatory minimum of 12 months. Extreme overreach. Refugee Legal

Govt seeking to rush through laws to imprison people seeking protection for up to 5 years if they won't agree to signing up to something they fear might be a death sentence. Draconian. Dangerous. And truly extraordinary. Refugee Legal

In the face of a clear ruling by the High Court that curfew and ankle bracelet conditions are unconstitutional, the Govt is resorting to new laws which are conscious, calculated cruelty. Refugee Legal

A Govt confident in its compliance with our international obligations, the rule of law, basic decency, humanity and necessity of its proposed laws would enable proper scrutiny, rather than ramming them through - laws which endanger rights and lives. Refugee Legal

Govt is seeking to ram through brutal laws that would endanger people’s rights and lives. Where people’s basic freedoms are so seriously threatened again – circumventing High Ct’s ruling – we simply cannot rule out further legal challenges theage.com.au/politics/feder… Refugee Legal
