Great @AsylumInsight article on devastating impact of COVID on resettlement globally and in Aus, asyluminsight.com/garnier. Although happy to have seen some new arrivals since 15 Dec (mostly from Jordan and Lebanon), majority of ~11k RHP visa-holders are still waiting to travel.

Hello & a big thanks to everyone who’s followed or read my explainers over the past week on the #Djokovic saga & Australia’s migration laws.

There is a long list of Australia's wrong-doing through #offshore processing – beyond harm to refugees, add harm to Pacific neighbours, writes @NatashaYacoub. #PNG #Manus asyluminsight.com/yacoub

Australia ended its agreement with Papua New Guinea to undertake offshore processing of asylum seekers in October 2021 but the impact of the policy on local communities continues. See my new blog piece @refugees @manus @offshoreprocessing asyluminsight.com/yacoub

Policymakers in the UK and elsewhere considering refugee 'externalisation' would do well to take a look at this. Powerful video explainer by @madelinegleeson @KaldorCentre
