I am Melanie from Frankston and I would like the Australian government to welcome all refugees and asylum seekers and end the internment at Manus & Naru islands

I want to see better treatment of people seeking asylum in Australia. I believe in treating others how I want to be treated we don’t have to be monsters and cause harm.
