Background.

With the Citizenship Ban last month and the race riots last summer, we will also be discussing the continuing trend of at least the last three decades of ever increasingly hostile rhetoric and anti-immigration policies implemented by successive governments, including the current one. We are looking to discuss ways in which we can better mobilise and counter these proposals and rhetoric, including through our visa fees campaign.
