"All of us, including people who are fleeing persecution or war-torn countries, have a right to live free from danger, to be treated with dignity and compassion and to be given help when we need it.


 

Australians are compassionate and fair. Looking out for others is at the very core of who we are.

 

Close The Camps

But our values are being betrayed by both the major parties, who, in an attempt to win your vote, have spent years locking up women, men and children in indefinite detention, 
separating families who have turned to Australia for help.


Labor created offshore indefinite detention and the Liberals doubled-down on it. Both the Labor Party and the Liberals support the detention of people in deliberately cruel and torturous conditions. They support turning around boats at sea and returning people to face persecution. People have died, been assaulted and endured psychological torment because of the choices of the old parties. Labor and the 

Liberals (and Nationals) have refused to act with basic humanity and compassion and people who need our help are suffering.

The Greens are the only party to have always stood against indefinite offshore detention.

The Manus Island and Nauru detention centres must be closed, and every single man, woman and child detained there should be brought to Australia.

 
 With Bill Shorten on track to become Australia’s next Prime Minister, now is our chance to send a strong message that Australians want to see the Labor Party adopt a more compassionate approach to refugees and commit to closing the camps.


If we could close Manus and Nauru and bring these people here, we would. We need to kick out the conservatives, but we also need Labor to change. The next two weeks is our chance to show Labor that there’s only one decision they can make - ending offshore detention.  



Our plan will create a system that fairly and quickly helps people find safety, rebuild their lives with dignity and doesn’t punish them for seeking our help.
