Congratulations to our Portfolio Leader @MSegrave for this excellent result. This is such important work.
Still reeling at the news my #FT21 @arc_gov_au was awarded. This is an opportunity to work across the region with emerging researchers on domestic & family violence, migration & bordering practices. This was only possible from the support of many: across @Monash_Arts and beyond.

This is abhorrent. Nothing has been gained by the mistreatment of this family, but so much has been lost. How can anyone hold this up as a good decision or a good policy.
BREAKING: Tharnicaa (nearly 4 years old) is being medically evacuated to Perth for treatment of a suspected blood infection. She was hospitalised yesterday on CI after suffering a high fever, vomiting/diarrhoea & dizziness for 10 days. Pls keep our little cockatoo in your hearts.

Wow, yet unsurprising, rumours of profiteering like this for some time: private contractors profit from detaining refugees @BObservatory @ANZSOC_Borders @bordercrim Big profits in asylum-seeker contracts as workers say they felt ‘cheated, exploited’
smh.com.au
A company supporting asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea billed the Australian government $75 an hour for local workers.
