So Ms Hansen Young has jumped on the band wagon saying all children are suffering in detention.

May I suggest to her, her followers and the good doctors, take a long hard look at where they came from, with their poverty, malnutrition and starvation and put it into prospective because at least while in detention they have food water and shelter.

If you wish to be helpful, may I suggest you channel your efforts at the core of the problem, over populating in their home lands.

Children need more than just food and shelter to be healthy Rehctub, and who better than all the doctors and the AMA to say that these children in detention are not healthy.
Certainly, if they say they are concerned re the children's mental health, then they are in a far better position to say what is best for them than anyone else.

It remains an absolute disgrace that 104 children remain in detention through no fault of their own. They do as they are told by their adult family members and should not be punished by our government by locking them up in detention.

These children and their mothers should be let out of detention and be allowed to live free in the community while their families claims are being assessed. Surely it wouldn't cost any more than what the government pays Nauru to keep them in detention there?

pity Ms Hanson is not so concerned about children being butchered in mother's wombs.

butcher,

What are you?

So a little psychological torture for the kiddies is what they should expect...after all, we all know that a modern first world social democracy like Australia shouldn't have to uphold the sort of standards it gives to its own people when we're dealing with desperates from elsewhere that we've banged up indefinitely in a gulag...is that how it goes, rehctub?

Doctors take a Hippocratic Oath - to do no harm.

They treat children who are suffering from their time in detention - socially and emotionally stunted, psychologically damaged from being in detention"...how can those doctors in good conscience send the kiddies back to the conditions which caused their trauma?

Children...these are children!

Of course, rehctub, your views have always come across as straight out of the horrors of Dickens.

A bit of food and shelter - and Bob's yer uncle, eh!

How do you reckon your little grandchild would develop in such a fear-driven, debased environment?

Blimey! - how debauched can you get.

Suseonline - Quote "They do as they are told by their adult family members and should not be punished by our government by locking them up in detention.

Any bet says a lot of those children were used as pawn by the parents.
Release them and the flood gate is potentially opened, they will just start coming or sending children.
Give them a loophole and they will use it.

Hi Suse and Poirot away in Fiji at the moment on a working holiday seeing first hand what can be best called "happy poverty". Keep up the argument against the ignorant on here. Butch I don't believe you mean what you say, no one is that heartless.
