Well done and well said Laura.
Be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves, Banjo, Sparkyq, ChrisPer, Has been, SPQR, hiding behind your pseudonyms and being foul mouthed and abusive. Gutless. If you had any achievements to your name you would not need to hide. Creatures of the cracks, come out of the closet and identify yourselves, otherwise step out of the debate. Not that what you have posted in anyway constitutes debate.
Eventually there will be a Royal Commission into the deliberate harm done to asylum seekers by the Howard, Rudd, Gillard and Abbott governments and you will be on the side of the damned. But then you will crawl away and pretend that you never held such ill-informed and cruel views.

Bruce Haigh

Well said Laura. The detention of asylum seekers is a stain on our national character. I feel I must apologise for the comments to your article. They are the usual grim, nasty, disappointed and abusive lot who inhabit the comments section of OLO.

Dear Laura,

I applaud both your ethics and your preparedness to risk your liberty to highlight the terrible blight of children in mandatory detention. I note that Tim Wilson, the Abbott appointed Human Rights Commissioner has repeatedly, stated children should not be held in detention. Please do not mind the barbs thrown by some members of this forum. Many are just scared small minded people with issues.

More strength to your arm.

…II am very glad that in our community there are a lovely collection of the middle class, with nothing more to worry about but another’s business.

...In the meantime, the vast majority of the population are self-absorbed in simply surviving the rigors of the capitalist rip-off; busy paying their excessive bills on wages (if lucky), forced down by an increasing wave of desperadoes, who, willing to work outside the confines of the regulated wage system, drive down our standard of living!

…Would it be timely now to remind the author, Australia does (as always) present it’s “Front Door” to refugees; the back door is shut!

"Eventually there will be a Royal Commission into the deliberate harm done to asylum seekers by the Howard, Rudd, Gillard and Abbott" etc. says Bruce.

Come off it Bruce, that could only happen if we gave the whole country, & not just the asylum to the inmates.

Even if we were that crazy, there's not enough of them to form a quorum, just enough to make a lot of ill informed noise.
