Nothing has been announced yet. Which means there's still time to stop these reported proposals. Restricting the work rights of people seeking asylum isn't leadership. It's a step backwards. Call on Labor to reject One Nation's fearmongering: pulse.ly/19jguea3ti

We're off to the ALP National Conference to push for the right to work for people seeking asylum. The ALP only sets its platform every 3 years, making this a critical chance for change. We may not be party members, but we'll be there making the case for dignity and fairness.
