Refugee advocates want the Albanese government to evacuate about 70 refugees in Papua New Guinea, with many of them fearing eviction from Australian-organised accommodation.
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) says refugees depending on the PNG government for accommodation in a deal struck with the Australian government in at least nine separate properties in Port Moresby have been evicted or warned it is imminent.
An Afghan refugee, his heavily pregnant wife and two young children were forcibly evicted from their accommodation in Port Moresby on Monday, said Ian Rintoul of the Refugee Coalition Action.
