ABOUT BUDDIES
Buddies is a Sunshine Coast group which advocates for just and compassionate treatment of refugees, consistent with the human rights standards which Australia has developed and endorsed.
We support policies towards refugees and asylum seekers that reflect respect, decency and traditional Australian generosity to those in need, while advancing Australia’s international standing and national interests.
We are an independent community group and in the past have met regularly.
HOWEVER DUE TO THE CURRENT CORONAVIRUS SITUATION MONTHLY MEETINGS HAVE BEEN DISRUPTED. A CHANGE OF VENUE IS ALSO UNDER CONSIDERATION.
