"“…we have a choice about who we want to be as a society. For me, that choice is clear. I want to live in a country where people seeking safety are not treated as risks to be managed, but as people to be protected. Because safety should not come with conditions. And belonging should not depend on how we are described.”" Angus Taylor’s comments remind refugees like me that our belonging is conditional - Thouraya Lahmadi https://cheekmedia.substack.com/p/angus-taylors-comments-remind-refugees
