This is outrageous. I’ve always been concerned about refugee rights, something which stuns people when they learn I`m a Liberal, but I’ve struggled to understand the high rates of mental illness and attempted suicides. Now I understand, and I feel awful I was so naive before. How can this happen in our country? Here we are so concerned about stopping risky (not, as many think, illegal) boat voyages when the biggest risk lies waiting in Australia! What can we do to help? Ranjini I apologise for the behaviour of my government and I desperately hope things change, very soon.
