Refugee Activists Target Plibersek

The Federal Government has come under fire for its policy of processing asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island. The Refugee Action Coalition has denounced what it calls a “pointless” and “short-sighted” practice. In a protest outside Health Minister Tanya Plibersek’s Sydney office yesterday, demonstrators called on the government to change its approach. They say re-opening the two offshore processing centres is not a humane solution to people smuggling. 2SER’s Sam Buckingham-Jones filed this report.
