Knowing full-well the suffering that just one family is going through on Temporary Protection Visas, I feel compelled to forward this to you for your consideration:
Campaign for Permanent Protection Amnesty International Australia has launched a *Campaign for Permanent Protection*. Its aim is to replace Australia's TPV regime with permanent protection by calling on the Australian Government to: Grant permanent protection to all those refugees who have been issued with a TPV; and Repeal the legislation of October 1999 (which established Australia�s TPV system). The Campaign is supported by a range of organisations including A Just Australia, ChilOut, the Christian World Service, the Refugee Council of Australia, Rural Australians for Refugees and the National Council of Churches in Australia. Hundreds of individuals have also put their name to the Campaign. Amnesty is inviting refugee organisations, local councils, employer groups, health bodies, individuals and others to join them in calling on the government to put an end to this policy. You and your school or organisation can sign up to the Campaign at: http://www.amnesty.org.au/whats_happening/refugees/issues_and_campaigns/campaign_for_permanent_protection Amnesty would like to receive as many supporters as possible by 31 July 2004. You can also download a Campaign sign-up form to encourage others to put their name to this important issue.
