By Kellie Tranter, published 19/8/2015

Subsequent examination of the Abu Ghraib scandal by well known American psychologist Philip Zimbardo highlighted the systemic failures, including that of leadership, which ultimately led to the abuse.

Worse, some of the victims are not even asylum-seekers, but innocent passengers that were hijacked on the high seas and locked up by the Australian government. The proper name for that is 'piracy'.

Spot on On The Beach! There is a real push now to go thru all this rubbish especially the ABC. The irony is that I only watch the ABC. However they will not change and need to be de-funded until they get it right or close.
The quango's were never needed in the first place. Line up the tumbrils and let's tell our MP's to get going.

I'm for transparency. Rather than Tranter making claims that may well have a basis and the defenders of the LNP going into knee-jerk defense, let's have a live-in independent investigator/s look at allegations who is answerable to a senate committee.

Blaming the ABC will not console your shortcomings, it will take a royal commission to get to the bottom of what is happening in Australia's name where refugees are concerned.
There would not be any correspondence if the story did not exist to be investigated.
Abbott's shonkey and covert govt; is to blame.

Doog,

Another Royal Commission, despite the fact that Shorten, Labor and the unions are holding the current one in contempt in an attempt to cover their own shonky backsides?

They would try to interfere with and disrupt a Commission on this subject once it started to reveal their lies in the matter illegal boat arrivals and their bungling when they allowed - no, encouraged - 50,000 very costly dole-hunting illegals to come to Australia. Labor has no time for law and order, clearly demonstrated in their total ignorance of the machinations of Royal Commissions, and the status of the Commissioner. Senator Wong and other Labor thugs are now yabbering about going to the Governor General to have the Commission into their dirty deeds quashed, the ignorant hicks..

Well Abu Ghraib is a good example of where you end up by allowing women to command rear echelon installations with troops of opposite genders in the same unit.
