"My name is Neil. I’m walking, 1000 km to ask the Prime Minister for fairness for refugees who’ve lived here in Australia for more than a decade.

I’m a refugee who fled war and persecution in Sri Lanka, who has lived in Ballarat, Victoria since 2013. I arrived in Australia over a decade ago, when many asylum seekers like me from different parts of the world were seeking safety here.

The government’s recent announcement has given permanence to 19,000 of us – but what about the rest? I’m one of the 10,000 others, whose nightmare hasn’t ended. We are happy for our friends, but we are tired of living in limbo for more than a decade.

On 1 August, I began a 1,000 km walk from Ballarat to Mr Albanese’s electorate in Marrickville, near Sydney. I’m calling on the government to end the uncertainty for all the waiting refugees."
