We stand in solidarity with asylum seekers and refugees

• We believe that everyone has the right to a life that is free from persecution and life-threatening situations
• We seek to live in a society that is shaped by compassion and justice for all people including those seeking asylum in Australia
• We affirm the right of asylum seekers to live a dignified, meaningful and safe existence while their claims for protection are being processed
• We believe Australia can and should be more generous and provide resettlement and permanent protection to many more refugees and people seeking asylum.
