"Australia’s policy on asylum seekers and refugees needs fixing, urgently. While there have been small steps forward in some areas, there have been great leaps backwards in others.
*
Government policies still allow for the indefinite detention of children in offshore centres with little to no access to legal help.
*
We still grant genuine refugees only temporary protection visas, keeping them separated from their families.
*
We still lock-up asylum seekers with no security assessment of whether that is necessary.
*
We still have a visa decision system that is biased with limited review or oversight."
