I don’t really know what to say or how to begin this message but basically I am a 29 year old man who is basically being forced away and separated from his son by your national government. I have only three options of staying in this country, none of which are reasonable given my circumstance. I have lived in Australia on two previous occasions before, once on a working holiday visa and secondly on a student visa which I graduated from deakin university.
But now that I have a more than legitimate reason to stay here it seems like I cant. I have a 15 month old Aussie son who I truly love and want to be with and take care of and make a responsible member of Aussie society, but my visa options are extremely limited and I don t know why, particularly seeing that on previous occasions, I was able to get into the country without too much fuss. Basically your government wants me to pay sixy-thousand plus Aussie dollars in order to be able to stay and live here permanently with my son. I certainly don’t have that kind of money right now..in fact, who on earth has that kind of money laying around when they are trying to immigrate and that’s what most people put down as a down payment for a home.
I just don’t understand why I cant stay particularly seeing that I have been offered many jobs but can only work if the employer sponsors me and which hasn’t happened even though so many interviews have gone excellently well, once I open my mouth about sponsorship its a no go.
So I am asking and begging your organization to please help me stay and to be able to be with my son as I am all out of ideas and don’t know what else I can do.

Dear sir,
greetings to you from Turkey
I would like to introduce myself, my name is Rama Alsaleh and i am an architect from Aleppo city – Syria.
I was forced to leave my country for the security of my family and my four year old daughter.
My husband and I, both architects, have more than five years of experience in Architecture work in syria.
Today, the only option left for me and my family if we want to secure a future for our daughter and live in a place where we can hope to have a legal status with full rights one day, is to leave this unstable life with no future we are living in Antakya (a turkish city on the border of Syria.)
Therefore, I am thinking to apply for the refugee program to Australia.
Due to the high number of Syrians in my situation, if i apply through the regular program number 200, my chances to be accepted are very thin and it will take years without the guarantee that i will be chosen.
So i am trying to apply for your countries refugee program number 202. For this option i need a proposer to propose me from Australia. And as you might expect i don’t know anyone there.
So i would like to suggest a way you can help with this problem. If you accept to be my proposer in Australia for the refugee program 202, i will work for this company for free in any position that is needed for as long as one year after my arrival to the country.
And i will make sure that it will never cost you a dollar and i can transfer any expected costs to your bank account to insure that you will never pay a dollar! Because JRS (Jesuit Refugee Service organization) helped me with the cost of the flight tickets and with the cost of the first three months of living in Australia without any income.
Please help me.
you can find below a link for refugee program number 202 :

looking forward to hear your answer.

I am sick to the stomach of our government inaction or rather nasty nasty secretive way of handling the tragic refugee situation. It is a shameful way for our country to be seen to do this, after all we are ALL migrants or refugees who came to this wonderful land for security, peace and a an honest life!!
Not enough is being done, and this continued apathy by the majority of the Aussies, is not good enough, it is like condoning the manner in which Morrison and Abbot think they can get away with this disaster.
PLEASE let’s move on this, let’s march more often, let’s tell them this is not what we voted , or not, nor is it it the AUSTRALIAN WAY. A FAIR GO FOR ALL PEOPLE!!
