澳移民工人网络请愿,要求总理撤回禁飞令!“我们视澳洲为家,却无辜遭殃!”
【今日澳洲2月12日讯】日前,澳洲移民工人中心针对总理莫里森,在网上发起名为“我们需要正确的抗疫举措”的请愿,呼吁总理撤回禁飞令,以保障临签工人的权益。
截至发稿,该请愿已获得超过4800人签署支持。请愿中英文全文如下:
The Government's discriminatory travel ban in response to the Coronavirus unfairly targets temporary visa holders. End the travel ban now.
Why is this important?
The ban prevents temporary migrants who have recently been in China from travelling to Australia. This approach is not backed by the World Health Organisation. The Coronavirus doesn't know your visa status. We need a proper health response.
This ban discriminates against international students and workers on temporary visas who can't return to their communities. Many of those affected have lived in Australia for years and call this country home.
Temporary migrant workers are more likely to be in insecure work, have less access to paid leave and there has been no consideration of the hardship this ban will create. People stand to lose their jobs, their ability to pay for rent and there will be ongoing impacts on visa eligibility into the future.
The Migrant Workers Centre supports all temporary visa holders and will offer assistance to those whose employment has been impacted. Sign up here to call on Scott Morrison to end the ban
近日,澳洲政府决议禁止所有非澳洲籍公民及持永久居民签证者,并且有中国大陆旅游史的旅客入境。
这举措并不符合日前世界卫生组织针对新型冠狀病毒所发布的规章。新型冠状病毒并不认得个人是持有何种签证。我们要的是更严谨的防疫措施。

澳洲政府此项规定,不仅是政策歧视国际学生,更让所有持证短期签证的劳动者,无法返回工作职位。
很多无辜受遭殃的旅客都居住在澳洲很多年,他们也称澳洲为他们的家。
多数短期移工签证者在澳洲,工作都极为不稳定,都沒有休假给付;这个政策的祭出,完全没有考虑到这一群签证持有人的难处。

他们极有可能失掉工作,未来可能面临付不出房租的窘境;甚或是对签证资格造成影响。
所有的外籍人士短期移工签证者,若因依该政策导致工作权利受到影响,移工中心将会进行协助。
请支持该份连署要求斯科特·莫里森下架禁飞令。
有网友在该条请愿下评论道:我的工作受到旅行禁令的影响
还有中国网友评论道:中国人不是病毒。我们应该受到尊重。
网友评论称:我是澳洲公民,我在机场被迫与我的亲人分开,因为他们持有中国护照。我一直不明白其中的逻辑,为什么你认为病毒只会感染持有中国护照的人?这是冠状病毒,不是种族主义病毒!
