I really hate things that were founded by religion

Quote:destroying their detention centres and wondering why the Aussie Publlic are up in arms against them.

Mm, yet no one,except organistations such as amnesty international, thinks to ask why they are there in the first place,instead of being processed in Australia (as were a great many more in the 1980's).

OR why a non-problem,by any realistic measurement, has been made into a tacky political issue instead of a humanitarian one.

I'd burn the fucking place down too if I was locked up in some remote place, perhaps for years, when I had done NOTHING ILLEGAL. It is NOT illegal for a person to turn up on a shore in boat and ask "please can I stay?"

The callous,inhumane treatment of refugees by our incumbent government has cost them my vote. The most recent idea is the plan to send several hundred to Malaysia,including many unaccompanied minors. Malaysia is NOT a signatory to the international convention of the treatment of refugees. We are. This brilliant idea is currently on hold,after being challenged as illegal in the high court.


This a sensitive topic for me. During the 1980's, I processed THOUSANDS of refugees, from Vietnam,Cambodia,El Salvador, Chile, Columbia and Eastern Europe, whilst working for Social Security. I saw first hand how it can and should be done. (under a conservative government too) This current treatment is based on pure bigotry and ignorant, stupid fear..Angry
