Several refugee advocacy groups have come together to organise a rally and march on Saturday 25th June, to protest the worsening policies of the Labor government and the even worse policies of the Liberal opposition.

Anyone interested should get involved. Please come along to our planning meetings, please let your organisation put its name to the event, and please help us publicise the event, and bring your own members, friends and family along.
