I have known Afghan refugees in Brisbane for twenty years since they were first discriminated against by the Coalition Government. I have never been more disheartened than now , when men who came here seeking protection for their families have been held in limbo for ten years and more. They have faithfully sent money to support wives, children, extended family members from what they could earn but have been denied the right to sponsor family and bring about family reunion. Today these good men are on the edge, distraught at the danger their loved ones are in. Tens of thousands of applications sit in the Department of Immigration , waiting for Government leadership to save the lives of family members. This paralysis of morality , of kindness and decency is eating at our souls. The sins of omission must surely weigh heavily on those in the system who know better, who know that most Australians are better than this .
I would like to see the anti vaccer Matt Canavan's face ( and Craig Kelly) when he wishes Barnaby a speedy recovery from mild Covid19. Will there be a spill for National's leadership?
