Wow! So much aggression from posts to defend or ignore the indefensible. Why the attacks on Kellie's opinion? Where is the outrage that asylum seekers in detention are subjected to deliberate cruelty? The billions of dollars spent locking people away out of sight arouses little or no alarm. What we know or think we know, and what we don't know, should be of deep concern for ourselves as well as others. That journalists and anyone who speaks out to exposes the horrors for inmates of detention can be prosecuted, even jailed, should be a warning about what Australian citizens are not intended to know. WHY?

Jenni let me explain this to you. The "Asylum seekers" travel through many countries to come here. They are not seeking asylum but the free loading life style that mugs like you think is their right. They are mainly muslim, single men. They want everything we have but without the inconvenience of actually earning it. They then want us to change the way of life we enjoy to the way of life they are fleeing. Do not forget the infamous sign "Behead those that insult the prophet" carried in Sydney. This is their attitude and we are supposed to meekly accept that whilst you and Kellie tell us we are the villains?
The vast majority of Australia would be far harsher than the current Government are.
Jenni please tell us the end game? We accept these people and then what? Kill the gays, christians and anyone who does not submit to islam? You are so clever, you tell me.
