As I understand it, at the time of the last election, there were two thousand refugee children in detention. Currently, there are two hundred or less.

Did the noted lawyer, Gillian Triggs, open her mouth back in the days when Labour was in power ? Yes ? No ?

Did she open her mouth well after they were gone ? Yes ? Did she open it to point out the rapid decline in refugee child numbers ? No ?

And do you think that Gillian Triggs would give a moment's thought to living in Saudi Arabia ? Would she jump at the chance ?

But Saudi Arabia's pretty handy as a stick to shove up the government here, I suppose. After all, any stick will do.

I wonder if the pseudo-Left actually has any principles left at all. Of course, in the good old days ....

Snapshot of Children in Detention:
• There are currently 895 children locked in immigration detention facilities in Australia and offshore (as at 31 July 2014).
• Of these, 331 children are being held in detention on Christmas Island and Nauru.
• More than 70 per cent of people currently in detention have been held for between six and 18 months.
• There are 54 unaccompanied children being held in detention (as at 31 March 2014)
• There were 128 reported incidents of self-harm amongst children in detention from January 2013 to March 2014.
*Statistics taken from Department of Immigration and Australian Human Rights Commission.

So where did those children go from 2014 till now. You know what Abbott said or is that just another final lie.

Hi 579,

It's 6 December 2015. Any change in those numbers after the last eighteen months ?
