Senator Pocock grills Home Affairs officials on refugee safety tax.

Refugees are being charged thousands for mandatory health checks before they’re granted safety. Sign the petition 👉 https://win.newmode.net/theasylumseek... The Federal Government is forcing refugees to pay international health corporation Bupa thousands of dollars for mandatory health checks. These checks form the final step in a protection visa application, but are extortionately expensive for people without work, low-income families, single parents, people at risk of homelessness and those who have had to wait years for their asylum applications without a proper safety net. Thank you Senator David Pocock for raising this critical issue and standing with people seeking safety. 🔗 Learn more about Asylum Seekers Centre's End the Safety Tax campaign here: https://endthesafetytax.asylumseekers... 🎥 Source: Australian Parliament House Streaming Portal #EndTheSafetyTax #asylumseekers #refugees #auspol The Asylum Seekers Centre is a place of welcome and support.
