Refugee advocates have called on the parliamentary Labor Party not to support any Coalition legislation aimed at saving offshore processing from a successful High Court challenge. The Human Rights Legal Centre’s challenge seems to have exposed what so many felt for a long time – that offshore processing is illegal. It certainly has exploded the lie that offshore processing is the responsibility of Nauru and PNG.

The temporary injunction offers a window of opportunity for those of us who value our fellow human beings to mount a massive campaign of support for asylum seekers and against the Malaysian solution now, peaking at the time of the High Court ruling. That means building big and angry demonstrations prepared to undertake civil disobedience to win freedom for the persecuted refugees.
Asylum seekers are the new Jews. We must act now to save them.
