Russell,
Please re-read what I wrote.

Get Bandy to come over with me to Manus, paid for by himself and not a donor...get him to truly understand.
Please oh please stop being an apologist that searches for cracks and problems.
Why not become part of the solution?

There is a middle ground in every discourse friend Russell. Solutions to such is what makes us humans automatically revere people like Ghandi and Mandella who both did it so well...during a monumental and required social change, they minimised human suffering and found the middle that satisfied both sides...this is what places them as undeniable movers in human history.
There is a place for opposite views, and there is a time for conciliation...

Your criticism of "throwing rocks" is very hypocritical.

Why is it necessary to visit Manus Island?  Australia has signed agreements to
allow people to come here to seek asylum.  There is nothing to be seen on
Manus Island that affects those agreements.

Manus Island locals (or "Locals" if there is a difference) aren't relevant to
the issue of whether we should be running a prison camp there.

If you don't like people "throwing rocks" then stop doing it.

There is no middle ground solution to be found when dealing with such things.
We can't half-conform to international treatments, treating half the asylum
seekers with dignity isn't adequate.

We just have to stop doing cowardly evil things.
