Pressure Building on Qantas to End LGBT Deportations

Emma Powys Maurice August 5, 2019

The Department of Home Affairs uses Qantas, Australia’s largest airline, to transport asylum seekers between detention centres and for involuntary deportations, often to countries where it is dangerous to be LGBT+.

Qantas has refused to review their policy on this, despite the fact that the airline’s CEO, Alan Joyce, is gay.

Tamil rapper MIA, comedian and presenter Tom Ballard, Australian journalist Ben Law and film producer Charlotte Mars are among the 150 high-profile supporters backing the ‘Stop Deportations to Danger‘ campaign.
