Email to my MP: Dear Mr Wilson, This email is a follow up to the phone call I made to your Albany office today. My first point is the health care for refugees on Manus Island. On Tuesday a Rohingyan refugee, Salim, was killed when he jumped from a moving bus and it ran over his head. He had suffered from untreated epilepsy for at least 2 years on Manus. His Grand Mal seizures lasted up to 2 hours. The local hospital could not treat him and repeatedly requested he be treated in Australia. Neurospecialists report that he would have suffered brain damage from his untreated condition, which lead to his death. Until April 2018 Australia was responsible for the refugees’ health care via IHMS. How many other refugees on Manus Island have health conditions which have not been properly treated? Minister Dutton has implied, in an incomplete response to a question from Adam Bandt in Parliament today, that Salim’s death was part of Australia’s border protection policy. Could you clarify that with Minister Dutton, please? Have the deaths of Kamil Hussain, Reza Barati, Hamid Khazaei, Faysal Ishak Ahmed, Hamed Shamshiripour, Rajeev Rajendra and now Salim been necessary for our border security? Will the LNP have that clearly outlined in your election material for the upcoming federal election, so that voters appreciate that our border security relies on not only indefinite detention but also deaths of refugees? My second point is about income support for refugees onshore. The Department of Home Affairs is in the process of moving refugees (who are on Bridging Visas) off the SRSS. They will lose all income, and access to other services such as counselling, language classes, etc. How many refugees in O’Connor, and in particular in Albany, Denmark and Mt Barker, will be affected? Which organisations will be able to give them support? [Stitched image by @suzannehumphrys for Witness #sotc2018] #manus #nauru #AustraliaIsRacist #Refugees #Sanctuary
