Mr Morrison had been visiting the building to inspect the University of Queensland's COVID-19 vaccine trial. 

Refugee Solidarity Meanjin, which has been campaigning outside a hotel in Kangaroo Point where 120 refugees are being held, admitted to gatecrashing the visit.

'This represents the souls and life of our friends who are being tortured with isolation, no exercise and uncertainty,' the collective posted online, alongside a photo of Mr Morrison's car.

'Dad Saif, has been split from baby Sammi and his wife Sabbah since March.'

'Scott Morrison, free the KP120. Free the Mantra 60.' 

A Facebook post on the group's page states: 'Why don't you come out and face up to your crimes against humanity?' 

The group has been protesting on the street outside the hotel for months.
