What do you guys make of Australia's policy for sea bound Asylum seekers?
I find it hard to believe that a civilized would treat people this way and it makes me very sad to be part of it. A friend of mine recently came back from Manus Island where he was involved in counseling the detainees and the little he told me sounded quite horrific. I know Julie Bishop
is in the UK at present and managed to lie her way through an interview (second link down).
Most interesting to me is that since the government told us that they would not be releasing information about any asylum seeker boats that enter Australian waters there have been no reported asylum seeker boats in Australian waters. How did that happen?
