Message from Pamela Curr:
 
Tony Bourke, Labour Opposition spokesperson on Immigration has released a reccommendation that tthe TPV (Tempo be scrapped and all refugees be given permanent protection instead of having to prove themselves twice.
 
This would emable the 1400 people who are currently on TPV’s; and must wait for another 3 – 5 years to be reunited with their families; to settle earlier.
 
What you can do help this LABOUR proposal be adopted as policy?
