The Refugee Action Committee is encouraging opponents of mandatory detention to support Petro Georgiou, who is building support for a more compassionate approach to asylum seekers in the community. Build the groundswell! Let the politicians know.
Go to an online petition from Rights Australia by clicking here ..
Senator Marise Payne has agreed to present those signatures in favour to the Australian Senate in the form of a petition. Links to the two proposed bills are in the petition.
The two Private Members Bills are proposed to replace mandatory, indefinite detention with a more compassionate policy. Contact your local member NOW and encourage them to support these bills!
Emails are counted! 5,000 came in last week to Petro Georgiou's office. Over 500 to Bruce Baird. Keep them coming! (make it thousands!)
Email members of the House of Representatives. http://www.aph.gov.au/house/members/Email.asp then phone fax or write to them:
