Dear Friends of Refugees,
The Government is in the process of denying any legal advice (IAAAS) to people who arrive by boat and who are seeking a refugee protection visa.
People in isolated detention centres are being given forms to fill in without help.
People in the community are being called up for interviews without advice or knowing the process.
Below is information available on the RACS website which may help. It is in the languages of asylum seekers.
It may help some people. please pass it around.
I am yet to find an asylum seeker in detention who has read the Refugee Convention or who knows about refugee grounds- so much for political propaganda.
