Not that far foot. The fence is still there both metaphorically and literally.

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.

Great movie with that name.

Any advancement of this kind is a good thing in any country. We have Obama and they have a dark skinned guy with a scholarship. Baby steps.
