The “free ticket” home can be a ticket to persecution, torture, imprisonment, death.

As to the “reality of the situation”, I recommend this doco:

I don’t think I’m more moral than anyone else. But on this issue, I think this government and the previous one are badly wrong

Interesting that those accepting the appalling incarceration of asylum seekers, are themselves origins of boat people.

Dear Andrew, [] please find attached hanky. You may find it useful to wipe away your crocodile tears.

Please read all the previous posts. I'll think you'll find that they all agree that you are full of $#!t, & you are making a living out of playing up controversy.

Rhian: our treatment of refugees is shameful and barbaric, and quite possibly illegal

I'm sorry luv. Our treatment of these queue jumpers in the Detention Camps is much better than the treatment of Refugees in the UNCHR Camps & any other Detainee Camps anywhere in the world. How do the queue jumpers appreciate these facilities. See below. This was last year.

"Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. As you may have heard the camp we have been constructing over the past 8 months has been burned to the ground. The riot and subsequent fire occurred on the evening of Friday the 19th since then we have constructed a temporary camp (tent city) for the detainees that are not banged up in the Nauru jail. The accommodation that was burned was of a very high standard and the dining facilities were second to none. These bastards were being fed better than us worker bees and living
accommodation better than the locals

Before I came here I was somewhat sympathetic toward refugees believing some were genuine. After the events of the 19th I am of the opinion that the group of male refugees here on Nauru are nothing more than violent arrogant criminals. The Iranians are no better than the Tamals or any other of the ethnic groups that we have here they are all the same . These people are the scum of the earth and should under no circumstance be permitted to live in Australia.

This is where your tax dollars are being spent. Billions of Dollars spent on people who cause their own problem then blame the rest of the World.

This is why the Medicare system is being changed. This is why Australia's Road & Rail system Transport Infrastructure is falling to pieces, why our Schools are fighting for funds. Australian's first people aren't being looked after. Because stupid PC Do-gooders & left wing cry baby Greenie people want Australia to look after the Worlds poor before they look after Australian's. You can't help anyone else if you can't help yourself.

and this from someone who is not anonymous (a nurse who had worked there) compared Nauru conditions to a concentration camp:

Jayb, you live in one of the most prosperous countries in the world, inform yourself and drop the "its Me! Me!! and only about Me".
Live five minutes in those asylum seekers shoes, then you can make comment against them, not forgetting that you are a product of boat people.
