Refugee trauma on Nauru: the leaked incident reports : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 11/8/2016

Human sensibility has been given another sound beating with the leak of 2,116 incident reports from Australia's remorseless detention camp on Nauru.

A quote from the article:“ May it continue to spring more over time, eventually stunning an otherwise indifferent public to indignant reaction.”
This is a perfect demonstration of the mentality of Binoy Kampmark.
He looks forward to obtaining more material illegally upon which to base his pointless and disingenuous whining. It is not clear how a “stunned public” can be expected to “react”, but , I am fortunate in being unable to relate to Binoy”s weird thought processes.

Binoy - The illegal boat people - clients of people smugglers – reportedly paid $5K-10K per head to board a leaky boat attempting to arrive on Australian shores, knowing full well they would not be permitted entry into Australia.

This action was illegal in the first place, under Labor’s watch 50,000 came with 1,200 souls dying at sea, passports including any identifying documents being tossed overboard on the way over, but oh no – not that mobile phone – and we all know the reason that mobile phone wasn’t thrown overboard now don’t we?

Australia Government and agencies determine qualification of persons for settlement in Australia – not the criminal trade of people smugglers, queue jumpers.

The Australian – 24 October 2015 – “Safe haven at Nauru may become home for refugees. Nauru’s President has raised the likelihood that refugees could be permanently settled on the island, in a clear sign of the deepening relations between asylum-seekers and their hosts.

Refugees have established small businesss and are working as community liaison officers, security guards and even, like 19 year old Shahzab Ansar from Pakistan, as a personal assistant to the Justice Secretary.

Mr Adeang, who overseas the refugee program in Nauru, says tensions on the island are linked to refugees failing to accept that Australia is no longer a settlement option. “Once that sinks in then they have to appreciate that it’s either Nauru or Cambodia at this time,” he says.” (End edited article)

Last year also we saw pictures and read articles of children frolicking in the sea, mixing with other island children and attending school on Nauru? Binoy would you care to respond to this report of kids being kids and playing happily together?

Daily Telegraph May 21, 2016 – “Sabotage at Nauru Clinic” – The $26 million Nauru Medical Centre upgrade, funded by Australian taxpayers so sick asylum seekers don’t need to be sent offshore has been sabotaged just weeks after opening.

A brand new $900,000 CAT scanner has been left useless after thieves stole the modem needed to make it work.

Someone also used a ladder to climb into an air conditioning duct and pulled out cords, meaning windows now have to be left open to provide relief from the heat and creating more of a security risk of further expensive equipment being stolen.” (End of article)

Great show of respect for taxpayers' dollars.

Binoy – 2016 Senate Estimates Reports on Border Protection and Finance Committee provided much information as to current reasons why persons are still on Nauru. Have you bothered to read any transcripts?

My information is not based on any alleged “leaked documents”. My facts provided in previous OLO discussions gained from viewing actual Senate Estimates Committee meetings from Parliament, available to public should one care to view and gain “the actual facts”.

NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH.

You will notice that Phillip S has now posted an article on this topic that is anti immigrant. Congratulations people. We as a group have finally converted a trenchant trendy lefty to the cause of Australian nationalism. Cold hard facts finally trumped Phillip S's child like belief in socialist humanitarianism.

And well done, Philip S. If you can finally think straight on immigration,perhaps you will be able to think straight on racism, Israel, Islam, and a host of other "right wing" subjects.

You made my day.

LEGO = Seems you get amused by facts which are real, you appear to take delight in the pain that would have been suffered by all the victims of those crimes, all this to sensationalize your small diatribe of a contribution to this thread.

If your day is made on the pain and suffering of other people you need to get help.

I would have only included the relevant only parts but it is 21,694 characters or 3,161 words in length.

I drew attention to the statistics not the article as a whole, before political decisions are made all relevant factor that may have an effect on the outcome of that decision should be taken into account.

So taking into account the historic behavior criminal etc of migrants would need to be factored in.

That many crimes in a one month period in a small country like Sweden should be concerning to anyone who considers open borders and mass migration of people who do not want to assimilate with the host country to be a good thing.
