Jesuit Social Services welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Inquiry into the Migration Amendment Bill 2024. We are gravely concerned that passing this Bill could have a serious and irreversible impact on the wellbeing and safety of refugees and people seeking asylum. We outline our key concerns in this submission.
Australia is a prosperous and otherwise welcoming country. We have the ability, but also the responsibility, to offer safety and protection to people fleeing danger and harm.
