“Whether you look at it from a humanitarian, legal or cost perspective, this is an idea which should be dropped immediately. We should return to the pre-Covid situation of allowing asylum seekers to live within our communities.” “It’s time now for the Government to listen and urgently refocus its efforts into rebuilding a fair, efficient, and compassionate system that protects, not punishes, people.”
