Indy in truth I find your posts here confronting
See the thread is an expression of hate of children being brought back
You highlight what you see as unfairness in the very opposite direction
I often see , and feel hurt, such stories, even kids being sent away, by our government
Sometimes sign a petition to try to keep them here
Hope you understand we , one day, will understand why governments do these things

understand why governments do these things
Belly,
Govt has only so much to do with such situations, it's more a case of individual bureaucrats fostering their agenda under the protection of corrupt or incompetent heads of Dept.
I clearly recall a Union President telling me "I'll do everything I can not to cooperate with this (QLD LNP) administration" !
I think it's wrong that senior bureaucrats don't change when new Govt takes the reigns.
No matter which Party !
Lower rank bureaucrats don't always follow official guide lines & many innocent people cop the short end of the stick. Many such bureaucrats have the mindset that they have a right to dictate to the Public no matter how much utterly undeserved pain it may cause.
Current Affair shows are constantly bring up such issues. The problem with these bureaucrats is that they only look at black & white, no shades of grey. Life's not like a bureaucrat imagines yet we're governed by the authority given to them no matter if they can handle it or not !
