A history of Australia's offshore detention policyCruelty disguised as “Safety” masks LNP incompetence. Such a predictable angle from the grubby LNP. Hopefully Australia sees through this propaganda and sends them packing Phew, lucky it wasn't trivial issues like the criminal banking sector playing stock market with customers savings, the 100,000+ currently homeless, how we pay the highest energy prices on earth or the biggest debt bubble in Australia's history, ready to explode at any second. How about we stop importing people that do not integrate?
