In Parliament today so young refugees failed by fast track can be heard.
Mind blowing that on the same day, new laws are trying to be rushed through.
New laws that could catch refugees who have been through a broken system that fails to recognise their protection claims.

Spot the difference. Arrived in Australia seeking asylum - was sent to detention offshore living hell for 6 years. Arrived in Switzerland - is offered permanent protection months later.
Detained on Manus Island for six years, this refugee has been granted asylum in Switzerland. His human rights work brought global attention to those in detention and he's urging others to maintain hope.

There is no need to keep people trapped for years, especially when nearly 200 have been released, people are waiting for US and NZ resettlement is a viable option.
