Large crowds gathered from mid 2020 to support an estimated 120 men being held inside a hotel turned detention centre on Main Street, Kangaroo Point, in Brisbane's inner south.
The refugees and asylum seekers were transferred to Australia from Nauru and Manus Island for emergency medical treatment, prior to the Morrison government’s repeal of the medevac law in 2019.
Members of the community continued to make noise and show their support for the KP120 throughout 2020 and in March 2021 - after being detained in the facility for up to 2 years, and up to 8 years in total - some men were released into the community on bridging visas i.e. temporary visas while their immigration status is resolved. They were released with the right to work but no ongoing government support.
In April the men who remained in the Kangaroo Point facility were transported to the Brisbane Immigration Transit Accommodation at Pinkenba. Protesters followed them and have continued their fight. As of July 2021, an estimated 35 men remain inside the Pinkenba facility; Australia wide, more than 100 people are detained, and more than 1000 others live on bridging visas with no certainty as to their futures.
