Australia’s refugee policies getting worse

Amid the unprecedented disaster engulfing the Rohingya population in Western Myanmar, with some of the world’s largest outflow of refugees, the Australian Government is trying to bribe Rohingya refugees residing in Australia to go back to Myanmar. Earlier this year, the Global Legal Action Network made a submission to the International Criminal Court that Australian systems of detention centres constitute a crime against humanity. The refugee movement around Australia is keeping the pressure up on the Australian government to close all the overseas concentrations camps by holding demonstrations in early October.
