That’s pretty despicable from Abbott really.

What would be the harm if they were humanely run, with the aim of teaching them basic English, teaching them the laws of the land, how tax works, how criminality hurts the nation and themselves. I’m not suggesting a brutal dystopian regime, I’m talking not letting people literally off the boat...

Suits me. I lived in Denmark and took Danish lessons, got a job, paid taxes, didn’t break any laws and I got on just fine. You make excellent points.
