Dear Mr Morrison,
I was disturbed and saddened to read about your instructions to your staff to call asylum seekers "illegal" arrivals.
It may have escaped your attention, but it is not illegal, either under domestic law or international law, for a person to claim asylum in Australia.
Why is this government so eager to run a smear campaign against refugees? Do people asking for help scare you so much?
Please reconsider this dehumanising policy. It is beneath you.
sincerely, Mez
