Fourteen years too long, permanent visas and protection now.

Content note: this episode traces the cruelty of state violence and asylum seeking experiences, with mention of suicide. There is no graphic detail, however we ask that you take care when listening in.

Joannie Lee and Sara El Youghan take us to the Refugee Encampment in Punchbowl, at the 24-hour Protest. Passing its 111th day, many have been waiting outside Minister Tony Burke's office seeking stability and an end to the temporary visa system that leaves them in precarious, unjust work and life conditions. Solidarity to all those fighting the violence of borders, and those who had the courage to share their stories with us.

Listen in, take action through Tamil Refguee Council / @trcaustralia

This episode was produced by Joannie Lee and co-hosted by Sara El Youghan. Special thanks to Janey Li and and Samantha Haran who joined the encampment and assisted in recording. Shareeka Helaluddin was the supervising producer.
