Support a step for compassionate approach to asylum seekers

Can you believe that the opposition leader Kim Beazley is opposing this change? I am still shocked - S#@T!!!, excuse my Spanglish, don't we deserve better?

TELL FEDERAL LABOR: SUPPORT PETRO GEORGIOUS'S PRIVATE MEMBER'S BILL AS A STEP TOWARDS A MORE COMPASSIONATE APPROACH TO ASYLUM SEEKERS
Liberal backbencher Petro Georgiou will introduce two Private Member's Bills to the Commonwealth Parliament which aim to fundamentally change Australia's system of processing asylum seekers.

These proposals would end indefinite immigration detention, release children from detention and allow refugees who have been granted temporary protection to live in the community permanently.

Clearly this represents a significant step forward, but Labor has so far refused to offer full support for the Georgiou Private Member's Bill.

All supporters of the campaign for a humanitarian approach to refugees and asylum seekers should get active in this campaign.
