The national dialogue around refugees has descended into a game of numbers and misinformation. We've lost perspective of the facts and the real people whose lives are at the core of this conversation.

But, in this moment, we can change that. Riz's story reminds us that politicians try to divide with fear, but what fundamentally brings us together is our shared humanity.

  • Mate, I want to sympathise with you, but you're an economic refugee. Why not say in Pakistan or Indonesia? Surely whoever you were running from wouldn't have had a presence in those countries. And now you encourage the government to adopt a policy that would see people drown taking risky journeys across the seas to get here. Fuck off.

  • @Jacks1400 Under the declaration of human rights, every single person on this globe has the right to seek asylum. There is no law that says they can't come here. Get some real stats because 90% of them in the last decade have proven to be legitimate.

    Australia is in Afghanistan to help exterminate the Taliban (thats bullshit because their fighting for oil), but otherwise tell me why they're there and then tell me how it relates to refugees and asylum seekers.

  • @fuknsoregut It's thanks to people like you that don't deserve to vote. Stop living in the 19th century you racist fascist. These people deserve to live in a country like Australia, at least their not bought out by media like yourself you dumb sheep.
