Saffrine DugganOrange, Australia
18 Jan 2026

Dan Duggan moved to Australia in 2002 and became an Australian citizen in 2012 with an Australia Day citizenship ceremony. With Australia Day coming up, we are thinking of our Aussie citizen sitting in Macquarie prison. Abandoned by his own government, of the country he so proudly committed himself to.

 

Please, if you can, donate to help this family get through the impending Federal Court’s decision next month: https://freedanduggan.org/help-the-cause/

 

There have been no Australian charges laid against Dan. He’s had no legal aid offered to during this circus over the last 3 years. Why is this innocent Australian father left sitting behind bars?

 

Australia is the land of opportunity. People come from all corners of the globe to our sunny shores to live out the great Aussie dream. Dan, his Australian wife and 6 Aussie kid’s Australian dream has been shattered.

 

The last 3 years have been a nightmarish struggle. Two sets of lawyer fees, travel costs for Saff and the kids to and from prison and court, other unseen outside costs, and all the while Saff tries to support the family on a single part time wage.

 

Dan’s treatment has been nothing short of abhorrent. It’s time for Dan to come home and for the family’s suffering to end.
