"Kids off Nauru" campaign"

'Clock is ticking': Groups set deadline to get children off Nauru

 Some of Australia's leading humanitarian and human rights groups have given the federal government a three-month deadline to get all refugee and asylum seeker children off Nauru.

Under a campaign called "Kids off Nauru", a coalition of more than 30 organisations is lobbying politicians to bring these children and their families to Australia by Universal Children's Day on 20 November.
Organisers say 119 children remain detained on Nauru, some of whom have been there for close to four years.

As well as SBS and the Guardian, this campaign has also been featured in the Murdoch press, Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, Adelaide Advertiser. The tide seems to be turning!
