We fled our home countries because we were persecuted, but our persecution continues today in Australia
Refugees seeking asylum are forced to leave their home country, to find a safe place to survive and build a new life. They hope that they can feel safe and be reunited with their families and loved ones. But Australia’s refugee policies have punished us and tried to break us in many ways, by keeping refugees permanently on temporary visas and separated from their families.
Upon election victory, the Albanese government has created a sense of hope in the refugee community – hope that we will see an end to this constant emotional suffering and we can reunite with our loved ones. The tools and expertise are there, the Australian people have voted for it. We now need the Australian government to end this emotional suffering and give us hope to live peacefully and to rebuild our lives: enough is enough.I would hate to lose another refugee to this interminable suffering.
After a decade of hopelessness, we again feel alive and hopeful. We are looking forward to building our lives in safety at last.
