Grace ,if you are a refugee ,you are supposed to go to the closest country and register as such.Why are these people from the Middle East by passing hundreds of coutries just to reach us?There are 20 million refugees in the world,plus billions who live in abject poverty.Can a population of a mere 20 million accommodate them all?
Are you willing to live like them and give up all your possessions?
These people have to evolve at their own pace.We can't become the bleeding heart recepticale of the world.We are hard pressed looking after our own,and can do without the complexities of religious fundmentalism and the threats of Jihad.
Racist you say?These people are escaping oppression!Well many children who have been victims of pedophiles end up being thus, as adults.What does this tell you about human nature? People bring their baggage with them and all will not be well in the "LAND OF OZ"

arjay: Fine do not let them in but whilst they are waiting for deportation treat them as human with mercy and decency and not as rabid animals. If the guards perved on our Australian inmate just imagin what they are doing to the asylum seekers. Regards, numbat

Cornelia Rau ended up in a dtetention centre because she is MAD. The problem lies NOT with the Queensland government for locking her up after she convincingly deceived the police. Nor does it lie with the federal government for locking her in Baxter Detention centre because Cornelia lied as only a mad person can lie - so convincingy that all the specialists who interviwed her believed her concocted stories.

Ms Kilroy who claims to have worked with the mentally ill for so long should be more honest in her article. The mentally ill person who is intelligent is a better chess players than the average person. He/she is an expert in the art of deception and guile.

The real issue is that Cornelia Rau was able to deceive 'experts' at a hospital for the mentally ill in NSW. She was able to be gain day release as a prelude to full release into an unsuspecting community. She was able to beguile others even though it was to her own detriment. If Ms Kilroy and her Sisters Inside really care about the mentally ill, they should focus on this issue and demand solutions to the questions that are raised in this contect. I rather suspect, cynically, the issue is one of securing future funding for Sisters Inside instead of seeking real solutions to the real problems that result in the mentally becoming homeless and their ending in places and circumstances even more tragic than than those of the Baxter detention centre.
