The Australian government reserves the right to cancel any issued visas if circumstances change.”

People constantly trying to shut the door behind them, and it’s made worse by pure lies about work. 99.99•% of immigrants work hard af and pay taxes, unlike the top 0.1%

Looks like Netanyahu got to them first.
LooooL
You really think Bibi wants them to stay in Gaza?
Them leaving is the best thing that could happen from his point of view…
Bibi wants to concentrate them in a camp or exterminate them.
“We helped bomb your country to rubble but that’s not our problem mate”
