The AHRC has always been stocked with Labor / Green sympathizers, and the timing of this new enquiry is proof of it.

While the Labor government saw the numbers of children in detention ramped up from zero to more than a 1000 the AHRC was silent, now that numbers of children in detention are dropping and there have been no deaths at sea, the greens and Labor are trying to find some fault, and the ABC and the AHRC have suddenly been kicked into action.

They know what's going to happen to them when they get here. If they still choose to come then they have given permission to be incarcerated. No sympathy.

Shadow Minister is right; and what the hell is the AHRC doing, at taxpayers’ expense, poking its nose into the ‘rights’ of people who came here illegally! Like the ABC, this totally unneeded organisation has a treasonable attitude to Australia.

The AHRC has so little to do that it has to invent imaginary ‘rights’ to keep itself in business. The whole show is one that the Abbott government could consider getting rid of, along with all the other Lefty quangos invented by socialists.

And now, an ex-Commissioner is flattered by the imitation of his out-of-date nonsense. How nice. What about a little respect and thought for Australia, its laws and the wishes of its people! We certainly have more than our fair share of Fifth Columnists trying to white ant their own country, particularly when there is a non-Labor government in office

What about all the men in detention? When is the AHRC going to enquire into the standover, sexual abuse and violence inflicted by detainee gangs upon weaker and younger internees?
Given that over 90% of irregular maritime arrivals are men why aren't the AHRC and the other refugee advocates pursuing a sex discrimination case on behalf of these men?

Kids?? You get a few MALES who claim to be under 18 and of course we're supposed to take their word for it since any identification papers will have been destroyed before landfall or 'rescue'.

Now in our politically correct society we're supposed to take into account the cultural sensitivities of these people - you know, like 'marriage' of barely pubescent girls to men 2 and 3 times their age .... Correct?

In the culture our 'asylum seekers' practice any young male getting on a boat alone would be considered a MAN. Any other CHILDREN who arrive with parents are certainly much better off in the safety and security of detention than the situation they left behind where PRESUMABLY they risked persecution, torture and death - yeah?

There is no problem ....

Now if Abbott can continue to keep the boats out and do a half decent job on managing the economy - he's got my vote again next time round

Kids?? You get a few MALES
devine_mcn,
I wonder what would be said if we called our soldiers Kids ?
