LABOR FOR REFUGEES FRINGE EVENT

FOR LABOR FOR REFUGEES MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS.

FRINGE EVENT ONLINE. Fringe Events were not held at the NSW ALP Conference in 2024. The Labor for Refugees Fringe Event is now being held online on 27th November 2024 at 6.30pm

Please join us for our online L4R Fringe Event “ASYLUM MATTERS”

Speakers include :

· Dr Graham Thom, international refugee specialist

· Frances Rush OAM, Asylum Seekers Centre CEO

· Thouraya Lahmadi, refugee and writer

We have never witnessed a global displacement crisis or a local poverty crisis for people seeking asylum like those we face today.

In this session, international refugee specialist Dr. Graham Thom, Asylum Seekers Centre CEO Frances Rush OAM, and refugee and writer Thouraya Lahmadi will unpack the trends, insights, and experiences that must shape refugee policy in Australia.

From exploring the High Court’s ruling on immigration detention to highlighting the stark reality for a person seeking safety without a safety net, this session will highlight what we must do in order to provide protection for those who need it.

There will be time for questions at the end.

We welcome existing and new members as well as anyone who is interested in
hearing what we can do to address the crisis which we face today, of global
displacement and a local poverty crisis for people seeking asylum.
