Since when is the Migration Department responsible for running the navy? What is the Department for Defence for? What is that dude of a general standing next to Scotty when he does not report about his service for our glorious country?

It is a shame that this country not even sees how pathetic this show is. Monty Python is just half as funny as this.

Well, Hitler was funny too. Just watch Charlie Chaplin.

As an aside, Chaplin actually got into a bit of trouble for that movie. It confirmed in the minds of some that he was a leftist ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Dictator#Reception )

" During its production the British government announced that it would prohibit its exhibition in the United Kingdom in keeping with its appeasement policy concerning Nazi Germany."

Of course things changed shortly thereafter as views about Hitler changed.

Well, it just shows that so called Realpolitik does not want to know about moral standards. Last week a man died on Manus Island. His name is Reza Berat, he is a Kurdish refugee coming from Iran. Here some background (Wikipedia). (By accident I know someone from the similar background who had some horrible years before his family was safe, finally.) "In modern times the Feylis have been subject to state persecution.[6][7] They are considered as a stateless people, with both Iran and Iraq claiming they are citizens of the other country." More detail here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feylis The riots were more or less known to happen. I am not the only one who is not surprised. http://www.smh.com.au/national/tensions-at-detention-centre-had-been-brewing... And, having not dealt with the situation, it will happen again. In a bizarre twist there is a new 20 month contract to run the centre with the same staff responsible for the dealings. Worth 1.2 billion Dollars. Australia is disregarding its obligations, breaks International law and is responsible for death, serious injuries and systematic deterioration of physical and mental health of people fleeing persecution and war, including women and children. We are responsible for it. If that isn't a disgrace - I do not know what is. Australia is run by a bunch of bullies and many people behave like it: All fine as long as it does not him them. Just have a five bedroom house with three toilets for family synchrone shitting. And encourage the bully to hit others. Regards Peter
