That's a bit lightweight, SM.

Why only a few posts ago you were complaining to Paul about his supposedly failing to post accurate quotes:

"What twaddle, your link is to a statement by the greens trying to say what John Key should say.

This is what he actually said:"

Now you're posting things of this nature:

'I can clearly remember the altruistic SHY when asked about the drownings at sea effectively said "crap happens"'

I don't suppose you'd be interested in scurrying off to find the piece where SHY "effectively said "crap happens"?

Don't mind Paul and I. We'll wait patiently until you return....

Forgive my ignorance...

Who are SHY? I asked google but gave up after three pages of hits having nothing to do with refugees.

Anybody want to shed some light for us poor ignorant hill folk?

Hi Poirot,

The on going systemic abuse of children in detention is a shameful chapter in our history. Back in 2014 the SMH reported that no less than 33 cases of child sexual abuse cases in detention centers in Australia had been reported. A hall mark of this government is its failure to properly investigate these and other allegation of abuse of women and children within Australia and on both Naru and Manus Islands where abuse of detainees was also widely reported.
When Morrison was minister he was very dismissive when ever these allegations were raised. He really didn't want to know about them, so much for his so called christian values.

Toni, Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young, one of the few people in the Australian Parliament who has any genuine concern for asylum seekers at all.

Thanks Paul.

I hope that isn't the case.

I also reckon it probably isn't the case. I reckon there are lot of politicians of all stripes who care about asylum seekers more than their spin doctors will permit them to express. Personally, what I'd like to know is what Ken Wyatt MP feels about all these boat people invading his land.

I think I might write him a letter and ask him.

P,

When 200 asylum seekers drowned off Java in December 2011, what was Greens Senator Sarah Hanson Young’s response? “Tragedies happen. Accidents happen.”

Took 20 seconds, next time do your own research.

Paul,

SHY cares nothing for asylum seekers, it is just a political soap box that she can whinge on.
