Didn't have time to read the rest of the thread before posting (so apologies if I've written and posted this half-baked) but seeing on the news that some politicians have kicked up a fuss about the cost of transporting asylum seekers to the funeral of their relatives and questioned whether it was a valid use of money mostly as a political stunt makes me wonder if Australia really has come a long way at all. I think that the asylum seeker detention camps of the last 10-15 years will be regarded as an Stolen Generation equivalent not too far in the future. Now, must sign off and go and do what they pay me for.
