We demand the incoming Australian Government begin to accept unconditionally refugees from the Syrian Civil War to re-settle in Australia if they so desire. Every effort should be made to make this information available to the refugee centres in the countries neighbouring the conflict (Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan) and their application be given PRIORITY status for re-settlement. In light of the damage to Australia's reputation its current asylum seeker policy has engendered and the dire need of our fellow human beings in the face of this clear and present humanitarian disaster, Australia has every incentive to show its better face to all.
