26 asylum seekers detained in Melbourne's Park Hotel have reportedly been granted bridging visas

The bridging visas would allow the men to live in the community until final decisions on their claims for asylum are made.

“As well, it’s a victory for the refugee movement, who have been united in hitting the streets day after day, month after month.” “As well, each of them should be given permanent citizenship immediately, not just the bridging visas they’ve been offered so far.” “While it is very good news that the government has begun the release of refugees brought from Manus and Nauru for medical treatment, they should never have been held in detention in Australia. They should all be released immediately," he said in a statement.

Yes, so they can get organised before we give them all what they so richly deserve.. The arse out of Australia...

Id say send them home

DrRonBaumann Now, how about all refugees in detention? It's been ruled as Torture by the ICC. Human Rights Commissioners have said it's inhumane. So, how about the rest ScottMorrisonMP 'Do unto others......'

Am I the only one who thinks this is way better feeling than Inauguration2021

bsadams25 They look strong and healthy what if they are thieves...just saying.

Humanity in the 21st century

Hurrah

Wow, amazing news - welcome to your freedom for the time being at least

Excellent, but questions remain about why such cruelty happened. Now its's time for all to apply pressure to get the Tamil family off Christmas Island and HomeToBilo

Welcome 💖 now everyone else 🙌 GameOver HomeToBilo

That's great but why now and why the hell did it take so long?

Australia will become a home for the world. ❤️

26 people Australia doesnt actually need .

Great news 🤗🤗

Never to be seen again

DanielBleakley Welcome home

“As well, each of them should be given permanent citizenship immediately, not just the bridging visas they’ve been offered so far.” Seriously？

Is Adam Bandt and the Green bleeding hearts housing them?

Did they ever require hospitalization? Or was the medevac legislation guise just a means to gain entry and further their cause?

What about these Australia born little girls. HometoBilo over 1000 days in detention.

Why would you advertise this. They should have just accepted the solution & shut up. Now will we see a starts a new rush of people hope not.

A sure sign an election looming. ScottMorrisonMP has held these innocent people for almost 8 years but now decides it’s ok to let them go. Anyone think there is a reason?

👏

The tennis players have asked Dan for a room upgrade.

SBS And that will be the last you ever see of them. Change names, change addresses and taxpayers will foot the bills. Labor have learnt nothing.

They must be deported if they have jumped the queue. To those who are supporting them, do you know they pay big money to the people smugglers to be put on a boat. Do you know their background? Finally if you are so keen then why don’t you provide accommodation at your place.

SBS But not HomeToBilo

deniseshrivell Election soon. ProMo empathy coaches working overtime

Deport.

where da women at?

slomo finally read the room, just in time for some good news headlines at the start of his election campaign. Great news, amazing news but we still need to hold auspol accountable for these human rights violations.

It’s well past time this country started showing some humanity and stopped locking up innocent people.

This is a good start

Best news since Trump lost

Deport.

Deport.

I do not want my taxes to be paying for this woke crap.

'There will be no climate justice while we celebrate January 26'OPINION: Torres Strait Islander Tish King doesn’t think January 26 is a time for celebration. Instead, she writes, Australia should be recognising the connection of First Nations people to the land, islands and sea, and working together to protect them. It’s always nice how they lived in harmony with the landscape, by repeatedly burning it for 100,000 years and encouraging the spread of eucalyptus. That’s some harmony! One of a series by SBS pushing a political point of view by one (and only one) of their many constituencies? How’s about no?
