RAC expresses its profound sadness on hearing of the death of Tim Read, Greens MP for Brunswick. Tim spoke at our rallies many times, including standing by RAC activist Chris Breen when he faced (and beat) charges arising from solidarity with refugees. Our condolences to Tim's family and comrades.

I’m deeply troubled by proposed doubling of number of people held in onshore immigration detention centres and a return to pre 2015 days which included in 2014 having 420 children in onshore detention centres and 2,757 detained that year as compared to 1,100 currently detained

RAC welcomes two Iranian footballers granted Australian citizenship after seeking asylum during the women’s Asian Cup. But Minister Burke continues to refuse to give protection to hundreds of Iranians who have fled from the same authoritarian regime. rac-vic.org/2026/08/10/f...
