   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.

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.
