EMAIL YOUR MP: Do not forget asylum seekers and refugees during the COVID- 19 pandemic Refugee Council of Australia Right now, thousands of people seeking asylum in Australia have no access to Medicare, no work and no social security. Likewise a breakout of COVID- 19 in any of Australia’s detention facilities would have a devastating effect on people detained there.

Absolutely terrible at stopping cruise liners. – Ben Eltham, journalist, on Twitter PETITION: Peter Dutton, release people in detention centres Human Rights for All As an Australian lawyer familiar with how detention centres are run, I am incredibly worried for the health and safety of the people inside these centres, including my youngest client, 2-year-old Isabella who has been in detention her entire life.

SIGN Morrison government urged to help temporary visa holders The Guardian, 21 March Labor has called on the Coalition to extend visa deadlines and relax conditions while coronavirus restrictions are in place. Shadow home affairs minister, Kristina Keneally, said the opposition would support “sensible, temporary and reviewable” measures for temporary visa holders. She said the government needed to consider extending access to health treatment and social security support for more than 1 million visa holders currently in the country, for the sake of the nation’s health. These include temporary protection visa holders, some skilled visas, and people on bridging visas ... more Manus, Nauru refugees hit by US shutdowns AAP, 23 March Jobs are bountiful in Las Vegas, but the unthinkable happened last week when the coronavirus pandemic shut the city down until at least 16 April. More than 200,000 hospitality workers, including ex- Nauru detainee Maryam Mohammadi who was working as a cashier at a food court, were instantly out of work. “It is terrible,” Ms Mohammadi, who does not have friends or family in the US, said. “I don’t know what I am going to do.

What you can do from your own home CALLING ON YOU to email politicians URGENTLY about this important issue Background Information for letter-writers • Given their temporary and insecure visa status, many people on Bridging Visas are not able to find secure work - in the current COVID-10 crisis most of those who did have casual work or part- time work are now unemployed. • People seeking asylum are not currently included in the income support arrangements that have been put in place as a COVID-19 crisis response. • Without income support people cannot pay their rent or feed their families and must rely on charity and the goodwill of Australians for rent, food and healthcare to survive. • Charity organisations and local community groups will be overwhelmed in the coming weeks and months due to COVID-19 economic and health impacts. • The Federal Government has rightly responded to the COVID-10 economic crisis by providing income support for people who have no income –people seeking asylum must be included. Please note that this is focussed on people seeking asylum – people recognised as refugees on TPVs, SHEVs and Permanent Visas are eligible for the equivalent of Job Seeker payments – people on Bridging Visas are not eligible. It’s very important – we must make every effort to ensure that all people seeking asylum have income support. Please • email and phone relevant politicians. IMPORTANT: This approach is intended to generate pressure for change through the National COVID cabinet - to overturn the current ‘destitution policy’ favoured by Minister Dutton and PM Scott Morrison. • Email MP for Bendigo, Lisa Chesters [email protected] • Email the Premier of your state • Email Sally McManus - Secretary, Australian Trade Union [email protected] Attn: Sally McManus 1.

  • Marginal Seat Analysis – 2019 Federal Election
    Australian Landscape Architects Vote 2019 Marginal Seat Analysis – 2019 Federal Election Prepared by Daniel Bennett, Fellow, AILA The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) classifies seats based on the percentage margin won on a ‘two candidate preferred’ basis, which creates a calculation for the swing to change hands. Further, the AEC classify seats based on the following terms: • Marginal (less than 6% swing or 56% of the vote) • Fairly safe (between 6-10% swing or 56-60% of the vote) • Safe (more than 10% swing required and more than 60% of the vote) As an ardent follower of all elections, I offer the following analysis to assist AILA in preparing pre- election materials and perhaps where to focus efforts. As the current Government is a Coalition of the Liberal and National Party, my focus is on the fairly reliable (yet not completely correct) assumption that they have the most to lose and will find it hard to retain the treasury benches. Polls consistently show the Coalition on track to lose from 8 up to 24 seats, which is in plain terms a landslide to the ALP. However polls are just that and have been wrong so many times. So lets focus on what we know. The Marginals. According to the latest analysis by the AEC and the ABC’s Antony Green, the Coalition has 22 marginal seats, there are now 8 cross bench seats, of which 3 are marginal and the ALP have 24 marginal seats. This is a total of 49 marginal seats – a third of all seats! With a new parliament of 151 seats, a new government requires 76 seats to win a majority.

  • The Hon Scott Morrison MP Prime Minister of Australia Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600
    The Hon Scott Morrison MP Prime Minister of Australia Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 22 July 2020 Dear Prime Minister, We write to you regarding the urgent situation concerning homeless people sleeping rough and COVID-19. Australia has led the world in its crisis response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This included an extraordinary achievement in temporarily sheltering an estimated more than 7,000 homeless people who were either sleeping rough or at risk of sleeping rough in the first eight weeks of the pandemic alone. This makes up a significant proportion of the total number of homeless people currently sleeping rough in Australia which, according to the last census, was approximately 8,200 people. This phenomenal effort represents one of the most significant homelessness responses Australia has ever seen, but it is only a first step. While temporarily sheltering people sleeping rough has been an important pandemic 'crisis response', it will not be an effective 'recovery response’. An effective recovery response needs to take into account that if we want people to follow public health directives relating to social distancing, personal hygiene and staying home if unwell, then we must recognise that none of this can be achieved without a home. Tipping people back onto the streets simply cannot be an option. Without urgent action it will be the only option for too many people. We call on your government to lead the development of a COVID-19 National Response Plan for Homeless People Sleeping Rough, which must include investments to: ➔ Maintain

  • Consensus Report of the Parliamentary Energy Committee
    House of Representatives Standing Committee on the Environment and Energy Inquiry into modernising Australia’s electricity grid Issue date: 5 February 2018 Consensus report of the parliamentary energy committee The House of Representatives Standing Committee on the Environment and Energy today released the report of its inquiry into modernising Australia’s electricity grid, which is a consensus, cross-party report on a highly contested policy area. Like many countries around the world, the electricity system in Australia is in a period of rapid transition, driven by changes in the generation mix, new technologies, the development of government policies aimed at reducing emissions, and changes in how consumers interact with the system. This period of transition presents both challenges and opportunities, from improving the security, reliability, and affordability of the electricity supply, to contributing to Australia’s emission reduction commitments. The Committee consisted of: Andrew Broad MP (The Nationals, Member for Mallee) Pat Conroy MP (ALP, Member for Shortlandand, Shadow Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy) the Hon. Warren Entsch MP (Liberal Party of Australia, Member for Leichhardt) Trevor Evans MP (Liberal Party of Australia, Member for Brisbane) Luke Howarth MP (Liberal Party of Australia, Member for Petrie) Craig Kelly MP (Liberal Party of Australia, Member for Hughes and Chair of the backbench environment and energy committee) Peter Khalil MP (ALP, Member for Wills) Anne Stanley MP (ALP, Member for Werriwa) Adam Bandt MP (Australian Greens, Member for Melbourne). The Committee Chair, Andrew Broad MP (The Nationals, Member for Mallee), said that “modernising the electricity grid is a big project for a big country.
