Welcoming the stranger – with kindness?
During Australia’s recent Federal Election campaign there was very little talk about, or focus on, asylum seekers.
The re-elected Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese did however mention “kindness for those in need” on numerous occasions, including during his election victory speech on 3rd May.
Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project co-ordinators, staff and supporters are wondering…
Will such kindness underpin the Government’s future decisions regarding the well-being of and justice for those seeking asylum in Australia?
Take time to read about the hope, the questions, the reflections – and the current happenings – in the recent edition of the BASP Newsletter:
