About

I've been thinking about what charity I want to raise funds for with the big head shave and after yet another leadership spill it's been made abundantly clear that if we want people seeking asylum to be treated like human beings we can't rely on our government for that.
As well as offering food, employment pathways and support to people seeking asylum on Australian soil the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre also advocates and supports those on the offshore concentration ca- *AHEM* offshore detention centres.
Our treatment of refugees has been labelled as crimes against humanity by The UN and Amnesty International. We have critically ill children kept in subpar conditions as well as despair amongst all adults there. I'll link below some of the horrifying experiences these people have been through but please know there is an enormous trigger warning for abuse, self harm and suicide.
Finally I would like to say that Australia always has and always will be Aboriginal land, how dare the government continue this thinly veiled White Australia Policy in the name of keeping this land safe.
