Title: Nauru disgrace.
Post by Aussie on Aug 10th, 2016 at 7:30pm
Given all the concern about child abuse among the Aboriginal Communities as is demonstrated here (<<< link) will I hear the same outrage about what is happening here:

Link.


Quote:
The Guardian’s analysis of the files reveal that children are vastly over-represented in the reports. More than half of the 2,116 reports – a total of 1,086 incidents, or 51.3% – involve children, although children made up only about 18% of those in detention on Nauru during the time covered by the reports, May 2013 to October 2015. The findings come just weeks after the brutal treatment of young people in juvenile detention in the Northern Territory was exposed, leading to the Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, announcing a wide-ranging public inquiry.



And much more in the link.

Ferk you Dutton and Turnbull ~ not in my name!

I don't know when they arrived and that is entirely irrelevant.  The Reports refer to events during the Abbott/Morrison/Turnbull/Dutton regimes.

well I think it is... because Aboriginal in custody are our responsibility....they are members of our country and we should not treat our children like they have been treated..

now as far as I can make out... these children shocking if its true...half the time it isnt....are being abused by their own.. not by Australian govt officials...

are you saying these children would never be abused in their country of birth.. because I find that hard to believe....these children did not get on a boat by themselves.....yet suddenly there is zillions of them....


what are we meant to do take them away like the stolen generation and make another do for our own backs.......how about we jail the perps....

or better still sympathy from ozpol members seem to do a lot of good... ::) ::) ::)

Your are a sensationalist d1ck

the vast majority of people in detention off shore & on shore are males 19 to 40 yrs of age

the number of children is infinitesimal

Yeas, but it is not the point.  Kids are being abused on Nauru and we put them there.  We keep them there.  We must ensure they are safe from abuse there, yeas?

Or is it only dirty black abos who abuse kids we should be worried about as is outraged in the Cartoon thread?  Are those I have mentioned going to be consistent about abuse of children we have over-arching responsibility for?

Children in our care should be protected. Any asylum seeker that is found to abuse them should be hog tied and flown back whence they came. If the perps are those who should be guarding them, gaol them just as we would do if they did it here.

100 women & children

338 men

a tad disproportionate don't you think?

and the same has applied to every boat load of illegals

a token amount of women & children & 85% to 90% of men between 19 & 45.

PS clown, check my last 25 posts, or beyond if you can use the forums search function.  Post my abo bash.

But as you brought up bashing, and accusing me of an abo bash,  ain't you the bloke who bragged that you would bash a woman? ;D ;D ;D.

I notice that most of the reports come from children, who are a small minority of the detainees. It's entirely possible that these children are being coached in what to say to authorities by their parents or other adults on the premise that complaints by children will make for better press and engender more sympathy.

You seem to have forgotten some.

'More than half of the 2,116 reports – a total of 1,086 incidents, or 51.3% – involve children, although children made up only about 18% of those in detention on Nauru during the time covered by the reports, May 2013 to October 2015'


He also forgot who legislated to put them there and ensuring that they would never ever be settled in Australia. 

I dips me lid to Rudd and Labor for stopping the boats.


Yeas, the Reports do cover just 4 months on the Labor Party being in Government.  We have had three years of Liberal control of what happens there.  I don't care who legislated they go there.  As we put and keep them there, we must ensure no-one is abused there.

Do you not care that children are being abused there, or does your concern only come to the surface when you have an opportunity to abo bash?


I told you, I weep nightly. 

PS clown, check my last 25 posts, or beyond if you can use the forums search function.  Post my abo bash.

But as you brought up bashing, and accusing me of an abo bash,  ain't you the bloke who bragged that you would bash a woman? ;D ;D ;D. 

Mods, that's was a fair riposte to the clown accusing me of abo bashing. 

The clown must have a short memory of his disgrace.



Women bashers aren't all bad - many of them are simply deeply troubled men who have strong women who stay by their side.

If they hadn't tried to jump the que, they would not be there.
If they had not tried to enter Australia ILLEGALLY, they would not be there.
If they had not paid people smugglers to get to an easy touch country and not just stayed in Indonesia, they would not be there.
If they had not country shopped and actually went to the first country that they could to allegedly get away from the trouble, they would not be there.
If they had the guts to fight the evil people who were destroying their country, they would not be there.

In short, they would not be there but for their own greed, fear, weakness and complicity.

Send them back, they are not wanted.

Refugees have no right to abuse children. While I can sympathise with the victims, the perpetrators have no reason to imply that being detained on Nauru has incited them to commit offences. Your implication is that being in detention has caused this situation. What you naively want to avoid is the fact that refugees from the Middle East have low morals, when it comes to taking care of children. If they sought asylum in another country, you would not hear about the abuse of children, because that other country would not share that kind of information with an Australian. If these 'refugees' were released in Australia, they would still be abusing the children. And then they probably would go after the Australian children. Of course, you would probably be shouting loud and long about how psychologically scarred they were from being looked after in accommodation.

I agree they are allegations which raise matters of concern and they need to be addressed.  Turnbull raced to the schmedia today to tell us there will be an Inquiry into the entirely predictable collapse of the on-line Census process, but says nothing about these matters.  Abuse of children in our detention is well down on what needs to be inquired into, it isn't even mentioned by the PM.

We are responsible for the care of these people and we are failing badly, with this off-shore processing and indefinite incarceration of refugees in inhumane conditions.

Did you hear Dutton tonight on 7.30 Report. Disgusting piece of work, who cares nothing about the welfare of these people. It is not illegal to be a refugee.

Title: Re: Nauru disgrace.
Post by Valkie on Aug 11th, 2016 at 9:27pm
Thats just it.

WE are not responsible.
The responsibility lies with the leaders of the countries from which they fled.
It lies with the gutless men who will not fight against this evil for their own family, but just run and leave it to others.
It lies with the criminals who kill, torture and molest people in these countries.
Basically the blame lies with the religion that creates hate, fear, and does atrocities to its own people for no other reason other than for some sick cult.

We are simply trying to prevent this unstoppable tide of cult fanatics from coming here and doing to our great country, what it has done and allowed to have done from where they come.

It would be a different matter if these people came here and worked, contributed and assimilated just as all the wonderful immigrants of the past.
Australia has always welcomed these great people, from any culture, but these ILLEGAL immigrants do not work (86% do not have jobs).
They do not contribute, they protest, insult and denigrate us to our faces, all the while indulging in criminal activities (Nearly every name mentioned in the papers for almost every crime is of their ilk).
They do not assimilate, they alienate, they isolate and demand rights they have no right to demand.

Bring back the days of good immigrants and send these deadbeats back, they have no place in civilized countries.

To generalise as you have is just not correct.  After yrs... mths  whatever in these hell holes WE have knowingly created, they are often so damaged and traumatised by the experiences they have suffered, because of US, they need a lot of care . WE create this, and your views are indescribably sad, and shows exactly what drives the pollies to try for political points scoring, abrogating responsibility and failing in all decent responsibility of care, that falls to everyone of us.

You should try to '"walk in their shoes"... try a bit of love and humankindness.. it'd be good for your cankered soul.
they are illegal immigrants who pass through a number of countries in which they can safely live before embarking on boats to australia. there is no equating them to the Vietnamese boat people who have been a net positive gain for Australia.

There is nothing to say that if we accepted them properly, in the first place, that they wouldn't ALSO add value to our country.

It is just politcal point scoring, at huge human cost.

Why do you think all the people locked up indefinitely are Muslim?

You have some real info to support that? Like to see it. You just assume that.. I'd say you are just speaking from ignorance.  So, big ears tell us the breakdown of the cultures of the people held in detention offshore.

Emma, we feel no shame in locking up people who have entered Australia without documentation. I would suffer the same fate, if I enter any country in the world without documentation. But, atleast in Australia, I would be treated to 3 meals a day, a bed, shelter, clothing, showers, and entertainment. Asylum seekers/illegal immigrants (take your pick) are treated better than prisoners. Except prisoners have this stigma of having committed something illegal. Asylum seekers are yet to have their fate determined as either refugees or illegal immigrants. Trust me, I have been inside a prison, and the accommodations are not bad.

We have embassies in all countries that are on the way to Australia. Asylum seekers have the right to seek asylum through embassies, as far as I know. There is no reason to try force our hand to accept them, by boating to Australia. They boat here with the intention of making Australia accept them as refugees. Otherwise, they would be having to wait their turn behind other more genuine cases.


Quote:
I am totally disgusted by posters here who peddle fear and hate against totally defenceless men women and children held illegally and forced to live in inhumane circumstances BY US the people of Australia.


They had the ability to face the conditions of high seas, when they could have stayed in Indonesia. They aren't that defenceless if they are willing to take on a perilous journey like that. Realistically, if they are willing to do that, then they should be able to take on their oppressors in their home country.

I mean, are you really missing the point? They are claiming to be fleeing persecution and/or death for some reason in their home country. Beggars can't be choosers. If I was fleeing a considerable threat, a safe haven, 3 meals a day, and a bed is a good start to overcome the threat. From there, I can start to organise ways of taking on a new life, or re-engage in getting back to my homeland.


Quote:
All of you who make jokes and approve this utter breach of our obligations as decent human beings should be tossed out of Australia, cause you don't deserve to live here. YOU ARE  disgusting SLUGS and make me ashamed to be an Australian citizen.


Since you present yourself as a social justice warrior on this forum, perhaps it should be YOU that gives up your accommodation, your job, and your place in Australian society. Head overseas to wherever the refugee came from, and do something about righting the wrongs over there. Rotsa ruck!


Quote:
WE ARE RESPONSIBLE for such unbelievable behaviour we should be condemned WORLD-WIDE. AND we ARE being noticed around the world for this abhorrent regime . IT ISN'T a SECRET, no matter how much legislation the Govt creates to hide our foulness.


I don't know if you have been paying attention, but the policies of the rulers in those dystopian societies that asylum seekers are from are what motivate the asylum seekers to come here. What do you expect to do to change the reason why asylum seekers are asylum seekers? Oh, what do you care anyway? You are more concerned about giving boat people 5-star accommodation, or perhaps let out into the community without proper checks on as who they are identified. Give it 20 years with your stupid, naive policy, and Australia will turn into the country resembling where the refugees came.

Europe, over the last year, has seen a major influx of Syrians and Middle Easterners, looking to colonise Europe and introduce Islam, forcing it upon the Europeans. Many southern European nations are closing the borders to the boat people. Some European nations are looking to emulate Australia's housing of asylum seekers offshore.

As much as you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend it is not happening, we are at a cross roads where people are lying to humanitarian nations, such as Australia. Lying about who they are, and what their intentions, is what we have to contend with, in dealing with asylum seekers. They are playing YOU like a sucker. And it is the silent majority who seem to be paying for your mistakes.

The lefty do-gooder tries to pump their ego with all this chest thumping.

It is very low consciousness behaviour and it reflects the ego of the lefty.

You see looney lefties think that a big ego means attachment to money or fancy cars or nice real estate. It can, but most successful people are not attached to these things (they are attached to a sense of contribution).

In fact, most big egos are pumped by attachment to ideas and belief systems. The very rigid and fixed belief system of the Emma peel, the Sarah hansen Young etc, is no different to the attachment to ideas and thought and belief systems of the ISIS commander who seeks to hate "other".

the looney left and the ISIS commander both seek to find their identity by hating on "other", in this case people who dont hold their ideology.

It is a sickness.

Now the rightie must not do this either.
the rightie must not hate on the refugee or he is also pumping his identity by hating on "otherness".

So the rightie must engage with the refugee and be solution focused and un emotional.
He must find a way of moving the refugee back to where he came from and convince the refugee that we are a compassionate people but we are not doormats and that we have a right to construct australia as a 'positive ecosystem of good emotions".

If a refugee , was, for example always smiling and cheerful , always whistling whilst he worked at naru, always postive and contributing a good vibe,then we should say...welcome to out ecosytem of good emotions.
if a refugee is sad and self pitying and angry and complaining, this state of emotions needs to be corrected and we must all master our own emotions.

i hope self help seminars are being done on naru. if they arent, i am happy to send some tapes there in a spirit of contribution

I think one of the biggest problems with this classification   is these people have paid huge sums to people smugglers to get them to a destination...... that people smugglers tell them they have every right to expect to be welcomed with open arms...

its isnt fair of course it isnt.. but until Indonesia accepts the responsibility for people smugglers....it will keep going on......its a cruel business......but if we allow them to get away with it.......

they wont stop... they will grow....

There is a well known practice of country shopping exhibited by these ILLEGAL immigrants.

They make their way to a country with a list of all the benifits, claims and legal machinations so that they can fleece the country and its people.

They do not come to contribute, to work or to assimilate.
They come to bludge, to commit crime and rob, and to alienate themselves while screaming racism to forestall any who try to suppress the evil cult they wish to infect the world with.

Deny any of this.

86% of ILLEGALS do not have jobs, they are all on the dole and seem to know ways to get the most out of the system by claiming the disability pension. They know that breeding like rabbits also brings in more free money and they know all the right buttons to push to get public housing and free everything.
It is the same in many other countries, in Sweden (I'm not sure of the exact percentages, due to the PC brigade suppression of FACTS) But a huge percentage of their welfare goes to a very small percentage of their population....the country shoppers.

They have a very high presence in illegal activities.
Unless you put your fingers in your ears and sing La la la la while closing your eyes every day, you will hane noticed that far too much crime involves a very small percentage of people...ILLEGALS.
Sex crime, theft, murder as well as genital mutilation, bashing and drug trafficking, is an every day activity in every newspaper and television story, all perpetrated by 3% of our population.
Do you see the problem here yet?

Finally, in the past, immigrants have come to Australia and become Australian.
They have worked, contributed and been a boon to our great country.
Hell many of my immigrant friends are more Australian than I am. They have assimilated so well that they are the best thing that has ever happened to our country.
One of my good friends has 4 children, each has married a different race and in 3 cases different religions.
They are accepted and embraced by their families all.
Now look at these ILLEGAL immigrants, they separate themselves totally in self induced ostracism, marry cousins and family, and refuse to become a part of our great country, the whole time while screaming racism (its religion you freaks).
They deliberately create a tension that is palpable and look for reasons to protest and be violent, (Yes demanding the beheading of someone is classified as violent in my mind).
They will never fit in.
They want us to accept them unconditionally, while refusing to tolerate our culture in any way.
They insult, denigrate and violently act against us.

If you cannot see the problem here, you are obviously never going to.
This problem with ILLEGALS has cause Sweden to shut its borders.
It has seen France being torn apart by tension from a single source.
It is directly responsible for terrorism at a level never seen by mankind before.

WE DO NOT WANT THESE PEOPLE HERE.
We need immigrants in Australia.
We are enriched by our immigrants and have become a great nation because of them.

But we have the right to select LEGAL immigrants from ILLEGAL country shopping immigrants.
At Nauru, they are not poorly treated, they are fed, given mobile phones and even have access to the island if they behave like humans.
They in turn attack our people, rape their own people and abuse their own children, do you really want this type of person here?????????
Seriously???????????

Very well put Valkie.

i sort of look at myself as an entity, not really a human.
countries need to look at themselves as entities as well.

so you put good stuff in.

lets take the example of a great nightclub.

it has tons of good emotions inside, tons of great people, tons of fun, tons of good vibing.....it is packed with goodness.

but it also has a very strong door.
try to get in if you are a negative loser and the big bouncer will toss your sorry a*ss to the footpath.
Get in and start being a dick and you will be similarly ejected.

a nightclub has this "structural integrity"
Each human, each family, each workplace , each sporting team and certainly each nation needs to have tons of good emotions, you get let in when you are willing to add to the party and  a big tough bouncer so there is no tolerance whatsoever for loser, negative and scrubby behaviour

Try getting off a jet into ANY country and entering the country without a passport.

You will be arrested and charged with.......wait for it.......ILLEGAL ENTRY.

QED      Trying to enter Australia without a passoprt and you are ILLEGALLY attempting to enter Australia.


But lets look at this from a logical perspective.
There has been quite a few cases found where these so called refugees have flown to Indonesia and then conveniently lost their passport.

All toss their passports overboard before they get to Australia.
Now, one must ask why they would do this?
What have they got to hide?

Are they criminals in their own country, this is quite possible as many are involved in sexual assault, and crime.
A leopard cannot change its spots, so it does the same in Australia.

Perhaps they are murderers, Somali are known pirates, murdering, thieving, disgusting pirates.
Who is to say that the Somali refugees are not Somali pirates, imagine the outcry if they were Nazis?

Perhaps they are simply criminals, this would explain why so many resort to crime.

LEGAL immigrants, willing to work, contribute and assimilate are all welcome.
LEGAL immigrants bring their passports and are proven not be criminals.

ILLEGAL immigrants are not willing to work, do not contribute and do not assimilate.
ILLEGAL immigrants do not have their passports and MUST be assumed to be criminals.

First: you wouldn't be able to enter the country.

I'm not sure if you've ever been to an international airport, but you don't just walk off the plane and then out into the street.

Second: we're talking about asylum seekers, in boats.

If they claim asylum, it's not illegal.

You will be arrested and charged with.......wait for it.......ILLEGAL ENTRY.
Absolutely. And the method of entry doesnt matter, plane boat , however. Thats why people who do so are allowed to be detained by the authorities. Anyone who thinks otherwise is quite frankly, a bit of a twit, Basic stuff really.  ;D

Some also come from Pakistan and want to live in Australia because its much more nicer.


Yep.

We're talking about asylum seekers here, though.

First: you wouldn't be able to enter the country.

And why can you not enter the country?
Because its ILLEGAL.

I'm not sure if you've ever been to an international airport, but you don't just walk off the plane and then out into the street.

Yes my simple friend, many many airports all over the world.
But what is to stop one from discarding ones passport and declaring asylum?
Because its ILLEGAL that's why, you would be arrested, detained and your identity sourced until your identity was discovered.
You would be ...................wait for it...............AN ILLEGAL ALIEN

Second: we're talking about asylum seekers, in boats.

Pray, what is the difference?
They attempt to jump the Que, to enter Australia ILLEGALLY rather than going through the LEGAL process where their identity, criminal history and nationality are disclosed and known.
There are offices all over the world, many in countries where they have passed through on their way to their country of choice, armed with a list of rights, tricks and shady methods of screwing the welfare system.


If they claim asylum, it's not illegal.


Anyone can claim asylum yes?
Actually NO, they are obliged to prove that they are persicuted and in danger in their own country before thay can claim it. Otherwise its ILLEGAL.

They discard their papers so that they can hide where they are from, who they are and what their criminal history was in that country.
They lie, often stating false information and misleading our authorities who are simply trying to find out if they are actually true asylum seekers, not just some lazy, country shopping parasite.
If they told the truth and it was verifiable, they would be here already.
Until they are proven true, ligitimate asylum seekers, they are nothing more than ILLEGAL country shoppers.

That's why I don't like boat arrivals.
I want the asylum seekers to be selected from the most needy and vulnerable.

If you want only yellow M&Ms the best way is to get a bag of yellow M&Ms. If you get a normal bag you have to spend all that time and effort sorting thru them, sifting out the yellow ones and working out what to do with the other ones.

We should ONLY accept refugees from UN camps close to their source countries.

Please read the post in full.

Simply claiming Asylum does not preclude you from proving it.

If you cannot prove it, you are entering the country ILLEGALLY.

Correct.

Claiming asylum makes you an asylum seeker, not a refugee.

However, if it turns out that you are not granted refugee status, you haven't done anything illegal.

Entering without a passport or visa, with the intention of claiming asylum, isn't illegal.

We should be looking to take the strain off the german authorities, now they have a problem.

I have met many wonderful smiling intelligent good looking german back packers on fraser island who would love to stay in our country.

They are cheerful and smart.

They should be offered assylum.

Why is Sarah Hansen not on fraser island campaigning for the rights of these oppressed peoples to stay in our safe country after fleeing oppression at the hands of Merkel

and if they are not a refugee asylum is not applicable QED you are attempting to enter Australia ILLEGALLY.

There is also a high incidence of these so called refugees heading back home once they get accepted here to bring over more and more of their extended family, more and more deadbeats, more and more dole recipients, more and more child brides to be impregnated and then able to claim more and more money from US the taxpayers.

Look, I don't have a problem with genuine refugees and I'm all for new immigrants who are willing to work, contribute and assimilate, but the ones at Nauru are not these things.
Just look at how they go on in the refugee center, they are disgusting, filthy, parasites.
They treat people looking after them with contempt and even abuse them verbally and physically.
They will not clean up after themselves and treat the women with contempt and even beat them.
And when they don't get what they want they throw tantrums, burn the housing, assault people and even self harm, or farce children to harm themselves to get what they want.

Is this really, truly the type of person you want coming to Australia?

So, if someone walked into your house and said I'm an asylum seeker,
You had no information of this person, who he was, where he was from and if he was a murderer, criminal, or rapist,
You would say.........."welcome"

Then as he raped your wife, destroyed your property, took all your savings and pood everywhere
you would say.........."You poor oppressed person, take more"

Then he denigrated your religion, forced you to accept his religion and brought his 10 year old wife to live with you,
You would say..........."Its just how he has been brought up, its not his fault"

Finally when he blows up your family as a protest about how his RELIGION is being treated somewhere else in the world.
You would say..........."We have to accept that he is treated badly"

If this is how you see it, I feel for you, honestly I do.


Yeah right, I believe that if he came to my front door and tried to get into my house, I would just have to call an ambulance to take what was left of him away.

Altruism is good if those on the receiving end were thankful.
But when they take, take, and take more and more while insulting and threatening you.

I would tell the Government to get off their arse and do their job.
No answer I see. You know where these people go PB? Nauru and Manus.

The list of things I have a problem with is huge, but the four main ones are.
1) They do not work or contribute to Australian culture.
2) They alienate themselves and preach hate about everything that offends them (which is everything)
3) They are total cowards who have fled their own country, leaving behind their wives and children, rather than staying and fighting the EVIL that infects their country, while trying to propagate the same in our country.
4) Most are criminals, sex offenders, thieves, murderers and generally a waste of oxygen.

I stand up for the people in Nauru and Manus Island. I take action on-line through Amnesty International, and other groups, who petition the government. I put my name to these petitions, and my money, and I doubt very much any of these so-called Australians have a clue .. they just want to kick ém when they are down. Cowards in other words.

You were NOT incarcerated ....  your parents put you there, and if you didn't like it you could have left at any time.  You just show how pathetic you and your kind are.  You had the right of freedom.  NO WAY can you compare that to what we are doing to innocent people in the name of political point-scoring.

It saddens me to know that there are fellow Australians who are so ignorant, and so immoral, living in this country.

What's caused this problem?

Lack of education? Sure.

The media? Absolutely.

Corrupt, conservative governments? No doubt.

These bigots are slowly destroying our wonderful country.
Didn't you say before that you believe bringing in refugees who's countries won't take them back like Iran.

Nope.

You've mistaken me for someone else.

I said that the government should get off their arse and do their job.

(I think you mean people who aren't refugees - why would refugees be sent back?)
No, you said you want people brought here and processed. So if their countries won't take them back what do you think should be done if they aren't considered refugees?



if the doorman refuses you entry to an awesome club because you are a scrubby citizen, its not really the doormans problem where you go.
he doesnt have to "process you" and then find you a club to go to.
The scrubby citizen just has to go elsewhere.

1. I never said that I want people brought here. I'm on the record as saying that I want less immigration.

2. If their countries won't take back those who are not refugees, our government should get of its arse and do its job.
Less immigration. So you don't support people smuggling then. Wow!! Well I never.

I've bought many sleeping bags for homeless people over the years.

Whenever I visit Sydney, the first thing I do is buy a sleeping bag from that camping store downstairs at the end of Martin Place, and give it to whoever is sleeping in the doorway of that building on the corner.

Like it or not, I am a far better person than you could ever dream to be.

I've bought many sleeping bags for homeless people over the years.

Whenever I visit Sydney, the first thing I do is buy a sleeping bag from that camping store downstairs at the end of Martin Place, and give it to whoever is sleeping in the doorway of that building on the corner.

Like it or not, I am a far better person than you could ever dream to be.

You talk - I do.
Why don't you give one of your houses up richo?


I don't own any houses.

Or one of your "apartments" then. It's easy to buy a sleeping bag when your loaded. Whatever makes you feel less of a wealthy western consumer hey?

That is the regard in which I hold you and you crapulent mates. Never heard such un-Australian garbage in my life. :(

It saddens me to know that there are fellow Australians who are so ignorant, and so immoral, living in this country.

What's caused this problem?

Lack of education? Sure.

The media? Absolutely.

Corrupt, conservative governments? No doubt.

These bigots are slowly destroying our wonderful country.



What a total load of steaming codswallop.

Any thinking person sees this infiltration, this infestation, this plague of parasitical no hopers for what they are.

Have you not see the problems in France, or Germany, or England?
Do you think that by hiding behind your false acceptance of this disgusting religion, that you will be safe from them?

They have no morals, they have no compassion.
Just look at what they do to their own people, and you actually want that to come here??????????

What is wrong with you?
Are you aware that they hate you?
Are you aware that homosexuals are murdered daily by these creatures?
Are you aware that women have no place other than as possessions to these vegetables????
Are you aware that they believe in the deepest depths of their black hearts that when they kill you, that they will achieve heaven??????????

AND STILL YOU WANT THEM TO COME HERE AND BREED????????

There is obviously no hope in talking to you.

Usually it ends up in a slanging match with personal insults and denigration of any who have a logical post.

This thread is virtually dead.
The trolls have again managed to destroy and logical, sensible debate, because its not in line with their thinking or opinions.

Just how do you know that kid will not grow into a full blown terrorist?
How can you guarantee that he will get a real job, participate in beneficial and useful employment?
JUST HOW do you know these things when even the best intelligence organisations in the world cant tell the difference?

The sad fact is that you dont know, wont know and can never know.
The cult has far too many radicals who are getting into the small minds of these people.
They push jihads and terrorism on these children to fight an imaginary assault on the sick cult.
The children are twisted by these creatures and then become the terrorists that you have agreed are pure evil.

What is concerning is the governments apparent need to dismiss these claims which are seven reports of sexual assault of children, 59 reports of assault on children, 30 of self-harm involving children and 159 of threatened self-harm involving children

Peter Dutton


Quote:
I won’t tolerate any sexual abuse whatsoever. But I have been made aware of some incidents that have reported false allegations of sexual assault, because in the end, people have paid money to people smugglers and they want to come to our country. Some people have even gone to the extent of self-harming and people have self-immolated in an effort to get to Australia. Certainly some have made false allegations.


Dutton wants us to be talking about asylum seekers and the awful things of which they are capable. Because if we’re talking about that, we won’t be talking about his government’s abject failure to protect children. Which, by the way, isn’t really worth our time, because "Most of that’s been reported on before."

Where has our compassion gone? Since the Government implemented a blackout on what is happening at sites such as Naru, the Australian people have become more apathetic then ever before.

Considering this country was founded by boat people you'd think we'd be more sympathetic. But at least we've managed to stop a good 1% of "illegal" immigrants from entering Australia.

We as a nation should be absolutely outraged over the allegations committed against children in these state sponsored detention centres, especially when The global security company employed to protect asylum seekers held on Nauru and Manus Island did not disclose at least 16 cases of sexual violence and child abuse.

But hey, as long as our boarders are protected, who are we to question the actions of monsters.

unfortunately , people like Peel, Hansen Young and Gillian Triggs find the need to boost their ego off this "non issue".

They seem very concerned with this "terrible suffering".

If they wandered around the major cities of australia, they would find plenty of decent hard working men, divorced from their wives after wifey cheated with some douche bag, not seeing their kids and living in their cars.
There is more then enough suffering going on in "real" austrlaia that the feminist pigs care nought about as they chest thump over people who they have never met and will never meet.

I feel it is a duty of alpha males like myself to help these beaten down guys back onto the "narrow road to success". I note Pauline Hansen (though i dont like a lot of what she says) is a champion for the cause of men who are harshly dealt with by the family court. Good on you pauline for caring about "real austrlia", a concept that is unkown to clowns like Peel.

I just don't understand some of the people in this forum.
they seem to want to bring hatred, fear, disharmony, crime and murder that is this cult.

We live in one of the most accepting societies in the world.
We are a nation of immigrants, and we are much much stronger and better for it.

I know this because I have been all over the world, and I have seen what true racism is.
True racism is an ugly, evil and disgusting practice, what we have in Australia is simply people asking why we, as a society, should have to put up with these same practices and the evil they bring.

Rest assured, racism does exist in Australia.
Not from the majority of or Australians per se.
It exists in those we have mistakenly allowed to enter our country through ILLEGAL means.
The people of this cult, are true racists.
They hate everything not of their world, or the sick world they see.

We have an obligation and the right to defend our culture and our country from worthless scum who would, given the chance, destroy everything we have worked for in pursuit of a vile world or murder, torture, pedophilia and RACISM against everyone not like them.

I do not want to see my Grandchildren subjected to the ravages of a running war with a cult hell bent on destroying everything good in the world, to be replaced by a draconian, brutal, primitive, uncontrolled cult that wants total and absolute control over every person who has the misfortune to be left alive.
Even among themselves, they cannot come to an agreement and as one narcissistic, brutal war lord takes over, another is plotting his demise and further war, hatred and murder.

Other countries have begun to see there is a serious problem, France, Germany, Sweden to name a few.
These countries admit that they have made a serious mistake and that getting their country back from these parasites will be a major problem in the future.
We  are not even allowed to discuss the problem, information and news is being withheld from us by PC groups who don't yet realize that they will be the first that will be eliminated once the cult takes over.
These PC groups who are populated with females, homosexuals and liberally minded people, who genuinely believe in what they are fighting for, freedom to be yourself.
And this cult? They hate and murder, Homosexuals and any of the other LGHBTI who they see as an abomination against their cult.
Women, who have unprecedented rights in Australia, are nothing more than possessions in this cult, they are openly abused and children raped as forced wives is an accepted practice.
So much for feminism and children's rights.

These ILLEGAL immigrants have deliberately discarded their passports, they deliberately hide their identity, they lie, insult and abuse our people. They rape their own in these camps and abuse their women and children every day.

We cannot accept this class of people, they are rotten apples who WILL infect the other apples.
There is a very high incidence of crime, rape, sexual attacks by ILLEGAL immigrants, this is a fact.

LEGAL immigrants have been a boon to our country, they have made our country great.
ILLEGALS have dragged us down and want to destroy our culture to make it more like the place they have fled.

Keep them away from our great country or we will see a repeat of France, Germany and Sweden.

Most illegals living in Australia have come by plane.

Moreover, most of them come from the USA, Britain, China and Malaysia.

Asylum seekers who come by boat, who are not granted refugee status, don't get to live in Australia.

You really should study up on this.

Well, the rightards on here are always going on about how Australia is a Christian nation.

And, Christianity has a long tradition of abusing children.

So, it's really no surprise that the rightards continue to condone the child abuse on Nauru and Manus.

I always find comments like that amusing, because it is a fact that the genealogy of the Australian Aborigine is as barstardised as that of the English who supplanted them.

I hope to live long enough to discover the answer to that question. There has been a long history of people displacing one another in this country.

It would be interesting to discover who were the 'first' of those.

Just imagine the panic of the 'land rights' movement.

The Muslims are not coming here for Aboriginal culture and society. They are coming here for the society and the benefits white Europeans have created in Australia.


If this was still a tribal Aborigines place they would get speared and killed for unacceptable behaviour. Aborigines are not any more welcoming of Islamic intruders than they are of Europeans. But if they stopped for a moment and weighed up the choices they would always count their blessing for having the English discover them rather than the Muslims - Australia could be like Indonesia or Malaysia, rather than as it is.

Oh, I'm sure of that.

But Terra Nullius implies that it was empty, and we know that it was not. That is not the question under discussion. It had nothing to do with Cook, he was merely the one who heralded the British 'invasion'. It could have been either the Dutch, or more likely, the French who 'invaded'- in which case 'land rights' would be a non-issue today.

The question was: 'Who was here first?"

The answer appears to be the Aborigine.

My question was: "Which one?"

I hear you, and, to a certain extent, I agree with you.

BUT, when a change in Government policy has a dramatic effect on illegal arrivals, while at the same time saving lives, is Nauru a worst case scenario for these people?

One only has to look at Europe to see the consequences of an 'open-door' policy and witness the quality of 'asylum seeker' so attracted. We have no need of that, ever.

The people currently being held in detention must be there for a reason. Once we let them into the country, the rules change. We already have enough potential trouble with people already on our shores. We cannot set a precedent or we will be held to ransom.

How many safe havens have they already bypassed? And for what reasons?

Send a further message and send them home.

If we intend on continuing to a humanitarian intake of refugees, let us at least ensure they will be compatible with their adoptive society and will assimilate and contribute to that society.

We do not, despite the size of our country, have the resources for anything else.

Emma, I was meaning to ask you. Are you more concerned about where the asylum seekers are being housed, whilst their status is being determined? Or are you more concerned about the lack of discipline being shown by these asylum seekers.

To answer the question not directed at me, these people are obviously asylum seekers. Around the year 2000, we had many asylum seekers making their way to Australia. Many of them were using the line that they were going to work on the Olympic construction in Sydney. Obviously a lie, and a naive one at that.

We keep hearing about how these asylum seekers are hard working people. I actually have worked with one in past years. I don't actually like him, due to reasons unrelated to his refugee status. But, however, he seems to be one of the exceptions. Most asylum seekers do not get jobs upon the first few years of living in Australia. Not that I really blame them with the generous welfare benefits heaped upon them.

My problem with your post is that you resort to using emotive language like calling their transports "tiny leaky boats". Where did you get the "tiny, leaky" part from, in this issue? Asylum seekers are transported in seaworthy large fishing boats. The fact that the smugglers overcrowd the boats is a result of them knowing that they will lose the boats upon arrival in Australian waters. That is why they insist on getting as many people as possible to board those vessels.

Have you ever been shot? Assaulted? Nearly starved to death? I have. I have also fought for my survival more than necessary for some white guy living in Australia. Why is it that a person from a privilege society like Australia should be expected to fight for his right to survive. But, an overseas migrant (seeking asylum) needs to be pampered by some social justice warrior, wanting to symbolically make sure she rids herself of her self-perceived racist stench?

These people seeking asylum, should not be seeking asylum. They should be caught up fighting for their rights in their home country. They rape and abuse children, simply for the fact that it is not against their custom in their country of birth. Instead, I hear the likes of you trying to use those disgusting instances to justify letting them come to live among my own countrymen.

You better wake up to what is going on soon. Because these people are taking you for a ride.

You say  what you like, that's OK because you aren't involved in the detention of people on Nauru and Manu Island. You are entitled to speak. THEY are NOT.
Nor are the people who are involved with keeping them in detention allowed to speak, thru govt policy. THAT is NOT OK.

Whenever Govt acts to keep their citizens uninformed that smacks of cover-ups, for fear. THAT is NOT OK.

You have had bad experiences.. many of us have had to fight to hold on to our very lives, and your blanket generalisation about the people on Nauru and Manus  is NOT OK.

Look to the positive examples. There is a town on the Murray which has welcomed a large number of former refugees, and they have worked hard , and revitalised what was a town with dwindling people and productivity. NOW they are valued members of our society. To say as you do, and as many others have, that they are just more bludgers on our social security system displays your bias and doesn't help anyone.

There are, as you say, exceptions.
Perhaps these on the Murray are that exception.

The majority of these ILLEGAL immigrants live in suburbs which they take over and turn into NO GO zones.
Again I point to the examples of France, Germany and Sweden, where the ILLEGALS have taken over and caused absolute upheaval to once generous societies.

The ones on Nauru are not the nice friendly people you espouse, these people are here because there is some suspicion about the tall tales they tell to get a free ride.
Too many of these ILLEGALS have been caught in sexual abuse, crying that its accepted in their culture.
Do you think this kind of animal will ever fit into our culture? this is the crap we need to be well rid of.
Child brides, (pedophilia in any other term), wife beating, honor killing, genital mutilation, demanding beheading of all and sundry. This is what these people bring.
I DON'T WANT MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN EXPOSED TO THIS SHITE.

Yes there are children, but if one child is permitted to come to this country, they bring with them an agenda. They import their family, because we all know once one is in, they start lobbying for their extended family to come to Australia for Compassionate reasons. Aided and abetted by do gooders.

Potentially a single child may bring many unwanted dead beats, We don't want that.

It appears to me that you want even more people to die.
No, I'm serious here.
Should we allow these people to come, do you honestly think it will end there?
Seriously, you don't think that this will open the floodgates yet again?
Then there will be more boats, more deaths at sea, people smugglers are standing by just waiting. These parasites don't care about the people, all they see is the money and once they have it, they couldn't care less.

Personally Id rather see a few people, even children, unhappy, but alive, than hundreds drowned at sea trying to get here ILLEGALLY.

WE have offered them cash to go ho,me, but they are simply holding out for more.
They are parasites who will be of no more benefit to Australian society than a bag of garbage.

Please wake up, or you may find yourself subjected to the filth they bring.
Do you want to be raped, sexually assaulted or treated as a possession?
This is their final agenda and goal, total and complete subjugation of every culture and race into one big cesspit of hate, fear and war.
They have all been at war for centuries and will probably be at war for centuries more.

My concern??
You say  what you like, that's OK because you aren't involved in the detention of people on Nauru and Manu Island. You are entitled to speak. THEY are NOT.
Nor are the people who are involved with keeping them in detention allowed to speak, thru govt policy. THAT is NOT OK.

Whenever Govt acts to keep their citizens uninformed that smacks of cover-ups, for fear. THAT is NOT OK.

You have had bad experiences.. many of us have had to fight to hold on to our very lives, and your blanket generalisation about the people on Nauru and Manus  is NOT OK.

Look to the positive examples. There is a town on the Murray which has welcomed a large number of former refugees, and they have worked hard , and revitalised what was a town with dwindling people and productivity. NOW they are valued members of our society. To say as you do, and as many others have, that they are just more bludgers on our social security system displays your bias and doesn't help anyone.


Don't come by leaky boats from Indonesia and you won't be put in detention on Manus or Nauru.

According to most of you left wing whiners they are more illegals in Australia that have come by plane...

most of them aren't in detention .... probably yet to be caught.

Most real refugees fleeing war torn countries can't get on planes .....

let alone get on planes, fly specifically to Indonesia, pay thousands of dollars to people smugglers to get on leaky boats, dice their ID to make processing more difficult ... to come to Australia by getting to Australian territory

e.g. Christmas Island .......

which rightly has a detention centre.

Real refugees are sitting in refugee camps across borders of neighboring countries trying to get out by the right means because they have no stash of thousands of dollars.

Also, many REAL refugees are Christian, who are truly persecuted and face death at the hands of the Muzzo oppressors.
But these REAL refugees are not permitted to get near the processing centers.
They are harassed, hounded, beaten and chased away by the Muzzos who want first pickings.

But that dont quite fit into the bleeding heart mentality do it????????????

This myth has always baffled me.

Perhaps you could shed some light on it.

Why do you think a "real refugee" is necessarily poor?

You do realise that a multi-billionaire can be a refugee, don't you?

The amount of money one has, or doesn't have, is not a determining factor for refugee status.

I think the word you might be looking for is "pauper".

According to the Immigration Department, actually.

"THERE are enough illegal immigrants living in Australia to fill a large regional city, and nearly all of these 58,400 people arrive by plane."

"Figures obtained by The Advertiser from the Immigration Department and under the Freedom of Information Act show plane arrivals from the United States (5080) and Britain (3610) are near the top of the list of those in the country without a valid visa. China (8070), and Malaysia (4200) round out the top four."


58,000 illegal immigrants in Australia have arrived by plane

Refugees aren't illegal immigrants. Far from it.

Neither are asylum seekers.

Suggestion of a breakthrough here!  The existing and sitting Royal Commission into Institutionalised Child Abuse is sniffing at this.  You watch all hell break loose in Courts initiated by Government if the RC shows serious signs of looking at Detention Centres. 

Link.


Quote:
The child sexual abuse royal commission has not ruled out holding a public hearing over alleged child abuse in immigration detention centres.
Key points:

    Non-Government agencies put pressure on royal commission
    Royal commission says it's "considering" a report on how department dealt with matters inside centres, including child abuse
    PM says Nauruan Government should deal with allegations

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse received a request a year ago from a group of non-government agencies, which argued it had the power to examine Australia's response to abuse claims in the immigration detention centre on Nauru.

All you need to do is look up the appropriate legislation and use your own common sense, asylum seekers are treated in accordance with the UN treaty of which Australia is a signatory. Australias own legislation allows anyone who enters illegally to be detained, surely you can understand that at least. Thats in common with every other country in the world, its universal. no one is saying they stay in Australia illegally, it is simply their method of entry which is illegal. For visa over stayers, the opposite is true. They are here illegally once their visa expires.

thats true, but they dont need to indulge in any criminal activity in order to be detained. Entering Australia without a visa is not a criminal offence, there are no penalties under law for doing so. Anyone who does so however is able to be lawfully detained and if appropriate sent back. For some good examples of this just watch the border security doco on television.

Australia IS NOT acting in accordance with the UN Treaty... as you say Australia has enacted its own legislation, and thinks that means the govt can act illegally.
It is a mindnumbingly  obvious attempt at abrogating its responsibilities.  I believe the High Court in PNG ruled it, being the detention camps and other measures Australia has put on PNG , to be illegal.  But Australia doesn't respect that. Australia ignores that. Smells to high heaven.

Not that they are actually being detained, but they are treated in the manner they ARE being treated. There is NO DENYING the inhumane treatment WE are perpetrating in these off-shore detention centres.

All Bulls.hit arguments aside what we have is a situation where elected officials with authority and responsibilities have oversaw child abuse. But insist the real issue is something else.

Peter Dutton insists that the reports of sexual assaults, beatings, self harm, attempted suicides, and guards demanding sexual favours of men, women and children are just refugees being selfishly manipulative.


Quote:
I have been made aware of some incidents that have been reported - false allegations of sexual assault - because in the end, people have paid money to people smugglers and they want to come to our country


You just can't trust these shifty, greedy asylum seekers, despite the fact that these allegations are not the colourful oral histories of the refugees themselves, but the official reports made by the staff in the centres.

Our international reputation is suffering. CNN, TIME, Al Jazeera, The New York Times have all run stories on this and we are not looking like a plucky band of hero's defending our borders.

No matter what you think about boat people, the fact that children are being failed by each and every one of us should and must be cause for outrage.

Or perhaps a bunch of liars. Or maybe they come from a culture where child abuse is commonplace.

It's damned if you do. Damned if you don't. If authorities take children out of abusive parental control, the parents will pull a "stolen generation" on authorities. If the authorities leave the children with their parents, the abuse continues.

Its all sematics and twisting of words.
This is done to hide indisputable facts that are easily stated in simple words.

But politicians, lawyers, public servants who want to retain their jobs and generate income manipulate the words and meanings to their own agendas.

Simply put.
These people have attempted to enter Australia without Australia's permission.
They have deliberately traveled through many countries where they could have escaped the "Alleged" persecution, but these people are not trying to escape persecution, they are looking for a free ride.

In addition, Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim country, so their sick cult would be quite accepted there.

These country shoppers look at all the available benefits that countries stupidly give them should they manage to slime their way in. They select the one they think will give them the best deal, that is purely and singularly the ONLY criteria.
They have no intention of working, contributing or assimilating, they just want something for nothing.

Call them what you like, asylum seekers, illegal immigrants or just plain parasites.
No matter what you call them they are not of any benefit, use or asset to any country.
Again, France, Germany, Sweden, the USA and Australia are being inundated with this worthless parasitical group of bludgers.
They see our compassion as a weakness and they intend to take advantage of it.
They see that we care about children and women, so they play on this compassion.
In their world, women and children are abused, murdered, raped and beaten without any thought.
But they see our compassion as a means to an end.
The number of children forced onto boats by their parents, with the intention of using them as a means of entry into our country increased when they thought this was working. How many children died because of this?

We are not responsible for them, they are responsible for their own predicament.
We give them comfortable, if not 1st class, accommodation.
We give them access to phones, gaming machines, plentiful food of their choosing and even an air conditioned place of worship.
Do they thank us?    NO
They abuse us, they damage their accommodation and then complain about it.
They abuse their own children, women and complain about it.
They self harm and complain about it.

We do not need this type of person in this country.

I'm glad you asked.

They get sent back because they aren't refugees.
Only if their country takes them back.


That's true.

The point is, their claims are rejected if they aren't refugees.
And they go into detention. So you are a supporter of offshore detention it seems.

So.

You agree in the principle of country shopping.
You disagree with detention centers.
You do not have an alternative to the current process.
You do not agree that Australia should be able to hold sovereignty over its own borders and be allowed to restrict access of UNDESIRABLES.
You believe that Australia should bow down to some international overlords who have no Authority, responsibility, ownership or belief in honesty.
These overlords who are paid Millions to come up with stupid, untenable and worthless ideals that they have no ability to enforce or implement.
They do nothing to share the load among other countries, they simply demand that any who are stupid enough to listen, do exactly what they want.

What a load of shite.

You can either be a part of the solution or a part of the problem.
These idiots are part of the problem and need desperately to be tossed out on their ears.

I have said it before.
If a government cannot or will not support its own citizens, it deserves to be destroyed, eliminated and dispatched with extreme intensity.
If a population cannot be supported by the land on which it lives, it should be allowed to die out.
Yes, allowed to perish, until a manageable, sustainable level of population is eventually reached.

It sounds harsh, but consider the alternative.
If we send more and more food and provisions to a population that obviously does not have enough intelligence and common sense to limit its population growth, it will just keep growing and growing while demanding more and more support.

Eventually we will be in the position of working and farming, purely to support an ever growing population of worthless parasites who both cannot and will not fend for themselves.

When will it end?
When we do nothing but make food for these people?
When our existence is dedicated to nothing more than providing for an ever growing population who do nothing but consume the fruits of our labor?

We also cannot take more and more uneducated REFUGEES into our country, Govco has allowed virtually all industry to go off shore, we have no work for them.
They will simply come here, breed and suck the life out of our welfare system.

Mark my words,
We will eventually have to sort out this crap or we will be overrun by parasites, by a cancer that is eating away at our world.
This cancer is a growing population of people who do not want to work, but who only want to breed and live off any who are willing to feed them.
Predominantly these parasites are Muslim, refugee, country shoppers.
Just like those in Nauru.
We need to send a strong message.
You are no longer welcome, we have had enough, we will no longer be your little black (white) boy.

Leave them in Nauru, or send them home.
I really do not care, any more than they care for me or my rights.
Stop supporting them, stop sending them money, let them do something for themselves or starve.

It's damned if you do. Damned if you don't. If authorities take children out of abusive parental control, the parents will pull a "stolen generation" on authorities. If the authorities leave the children with their parents, the abuse continues.

Well how come you think that way, when our country cannot or will not support its own citizens, and our country is not supported by the land on which it lives. Our government punishes our disabled children and our indigenous people, it fails the disadvantaged and those in our care. Our government abandons our returned soldiers to their fate, and actively resists paying them just entitlements.

We are not supporting the dairy industry, or other primary producers that are drought-stricken. WE import huge amounts of food and other commodities, at the expense of our own producers. SO ..... you are saying WE should be allowed to perish, until a manageable sustainable level of pop. is eventually reached.

Now THAT is truth....  so WE don't deserve to live here.

The one where you are not being persecuted for your race, religion, gender, etc. And to pre-empt your possible next question, it does not matter that other countries are mostly poorer than Australia.

I loved flying kites as a kid.

I had this one kite in particular - I thought it was just the fanciest in the world. I'd get home from school everyday, run inside, grab the kite, and set it up on the abandoned property across the street from my house. The property was this abandoned stately building, which I never really knew what its purpose was. It was set high up on a hill, and surrounded by this mass of paved landscape, and looked out over the harbour.

I would stand there, letting the line roll further and further out, as the tropical winds allowed my kite to soar. There, the Pacific sun shone through the red material of my kite, and I'd pretend that this magnificent kite was some sort of signal for the ships which came only ever so often to the harbour.

The ships that came to the island came only in a few forms. Passing naval ships would occasionally dock there, maybe once or twice a year. More frequent were the mining ships, loaded with the last dwindling remnants of phosphate which the island held. There would be the once-a-month ship from Australia, holding water and groceries for the 6000 or so residents that called this island home, which led to mass crowds at the island's lone large supermarket the next day.

Up on the top of this hill from where I flew my kite, I could see so much of the island, but for the parts I didn't see, I could ride my bike around and explore through the trees and coastline.

Much of the island was exposed back then - abandoned mines, WWII jeeps and planes (haunted, if you listened to the local tales) amongst the phosphate skeletons, tracks trodden by miners and locals alike through the years. The island jungle, of course, had begun to exert its natural course, vines and trees started to creep green, hiding man's will to tap the island dry. The coastline was rich with reef, and I'd spend afternoons and weekends swimming amongst the coral, armed with a snorkel and the armour of fearless youth.

I had friends on the island. The local islander kids who'd take me to Buada Lagoon and feed me yams, bananas, and pork, the same kids I would fight through the lines during recess to buy 20c slices of vegemite and margarine on bread from nuns. The one or two Australian kids that'd maybe spend a semester of school there before their parents would send them back home. The Chinese kids I'd meet up with in the afternoon and explore the Chinese Quarter.

Mostly though, it was me, and a whole island to explore.

Repubrikin Naoero, or the Republic of Nauru, once-upon-a-time Pleasant Island, has its own story. Once claimed by the German empire, then a League of Nations mandate (administered by Australia, New Zealand and the UK), occupied by the Japanese, and then finally gaining independence in 1968.

Phosphate was discovered by a prospector in 1900, which formed the backbone of Nauru's economy for the century to come. By the late 1960s, Nauru's GDP per capita of $50 000AUD was the highest of any sovereign nation (equates roughly to $350 000 in 2016 terms).

Despite this wealth, by the time I lived there in the late 80s, the housing was simple - reminiscent of growing up the Philippines. The kids had dreams of going all the way to Australia to continue their education, or maybe move to Kiribati, Tonga, or Tuvalu. There wasn't much more on this island for them - all 21 sq kms of it, which sat 40kms south of the Equator. They all knew that the phosphate on this island wasn't to last forever.

In 1970, Nauru purchased its mining rights from its previous colonial ruler (Australia) for $20 million AUD, and soon after the Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust was established to manage the annual $100 million phosphate industry. At its height, this Trust was responsible for roughly $1 billion. Such was the wealth of a nation that there was conversation of buying another island for the Nauruans to move to once their island was 'done'.

Through time, gross mismanagement, and developing world governmental corruption, this dwindled to about $100 million as it stands now. The current GDP is somewhere between $2500 - $5000.

Last night, I went to a Refugee Action Committee event, where four Whistleblowers spoke about their experiences, in various capacities, with our Immigration Detention Centres in Nauru. One of the Whistleblowers, Toby Gunn, related the story of how one child in the camp hoarded dental floss for a year, scavenged kebab sticks and a plastic bag, and fashioned himself a kite that he'd fly.

Not thirty years ago, I was a kid flying a kite in Nauru, and in entirely different circumstances. I flew my kite because I was free to spend a childhood on a beautiful Pacific island. He was a child who flew a kite behind a fence, surrounded by guards, and housed in bureaucratic purgatory.

Now, we can talk about it in a lot of different ways.

We can talk about how Nauru itself is a nation desperate to claim existence in a wealth squandered. We can talk about about how Australia has been entirely complicit in using this nation's standing as a third party to its perceived immigration issues and very real abuses of human rights. We can talk about the Nauru Papers. We can talk about stopping boats, at whatever cost to whatever end. We can talk about how, through Australian Government actions, we've turned an island nation's legacy to little more than a place name for our detention centres.

Nevertheless, opinions aside, our actions are very much having an effect on people we've relegated to political talking points and the shuffle of paper.
I think this is one of those things that in the very near future, we will be ashamed to have happened, and to continue as it has, through numerous changes in Government.
It's not this personal shame that should motivate us to see that change occurs - it's understanding that we're affecting others lives by standing by.
I implore you to take a moment, and read a few things - as we have the liberty to do so.
There are more boats docking in the harbour.

"Trauma and self-harm

"Health and medical experts have consistently warned of the mental harm caused by prolonged detention. The files show in graphic detail how this harm has manifested.

"One man asked a caseworker where he could buy bullets so he could get someone else to shoot him. A woman sharpened a pencil with a razor blade, then cut her wrists. Another wrapped a rope around her neck and tried to hang herself. She had to be held up by guards until she could be cut down.

"In one report from January 2015, a teenage girl struggled to cope after her mother’s miscarriage. She began having “ongoing hallucinations from a ‘small person’ ”, a Save the Children worker wrote.

“She is unsure if it is a man or women but has a dark face and is the size of a child.” The hallucination had threatened to kill her: “At other times the hallucination is encouraging [REDACTED] to kill herself.”

"The toll on children’s mental health is particularly heavy. According to an April 2015 report a girl began screaming “uncontrollably” during a fight in a recreation tent.

“During this time [REDACTED] also gouged at her own face consistently and pulled her own hair,” the child protection officer wrote. “It was observed that [REDACTED] could not breath properly and had a glazed look in her eyes.”

"Other files show the anguished outbursts to which some asylum seekers have become prone since their detention: one report described a woman seeking a bandage after punching a metal pole with both hands. Another told of a woman who began banging her head with her fists after an altercation with guards. Another woman carved her husband’s name on to her chest; she wanted a tattoo but could not get one so used a knife instead. Her husband lives in Australia.

"Speaking to the Guardian before the publication of the Nauru files, Dr Peter Young, a former medical director of mental health for Australia’s immigration detention system, said: “Self-harm and suicide attempts increase steadily after six months in detention. This is driven by hopelessness which is known to be the strongest predictor of suicide.

“Some self-harm, such as lip sewing, has a protest element and is common in prisoners as an expression of feeling powerless and voiceless.”

I believe you totally when you talk about the trauma of detention driving people to self harm. I'm not saying that's irrelevant; I'm only inviting someone to point me in the direction of ACTUAL occurrences of mistreatment of asylum seekers. Just like the 'Holocaust' thread-put that hysterical urge to kill a conservative to one side and discuss the FACTS. It seems the facts sort of disappear when asylum seekers are asked for specifics by police or officials. The fear of being sent home if found to be making false statements brings about a plethora of retractions. The ambulance-chasing federal lawyers and refugee activists must forget to mention that to asylum seekers when they're whipping them up into a 'promise of residency' frenzy.

Which is what our government is counting on. It's the reason there is a media black out at these detention centres. It's easier to dismiss these people without that human element.

If we really are doing what's right by these people you'd think the government would showcase it.

"Look at these humane conditions these people are in. We provide them with safe shelter, proper education for their children while we process their claims"

The easiest way to see if these allegations are true. A clear and open policy. No longer hiding in the shadows

Well how come you think that way, when our country cannot or will not support its own citizens, and our country is not supported by the land on which it lives. Our government punishes our disabled children and our indigenous people, it fails the disadvantaged and those in our care. Our government abandons our returned soldiers to their fate, and actively resists paying them just entitlements.

We are not supporting the dairy industry, or other primary producers that are drought-stricken. WE import huge amounts of food and other commodities, at the expense of our own producers. SO ..... you are saying WE should be allowed to perish, until a manageable sustainable level of pop. is eventually reached.

Now THAT is truth....  so WE don't deserve to live here. 
That is what you are saying.... 

Too bad you don't recognize your own shite.


Australia can and does support its own.
And many other countries to who we give give give and get nothing back.
Australians recognize that we have limited resources and that is why we dont breed like rabid animals, we have only those children that we can support.
If for one second I though that My children would be unable to work, support themselves and live a comfortable life, I would have not had children.

But these third world countries breed without a though for their children, so why should we?

Please answer this one simple question.
If we continue to give them what they need to survive, and they continue to breed uncontrolled.
What do you think will eventually happen?


Remember they are doubling their population every decade.
Can we continue to provide more and more every year?

I will not be responsible for the death of 10,000,000,000 unborn children by supporting uncontrolled breeding.
Better to allow 10,000,000 to die now until they can reach a manageable level.
They are responsible for their predicament, not I

PB; I'll try and explain another position (hopefully) without satisfying  all of your preconceived stereotypes  of vileness. One of the pull factors that lead to 51,000 boat arrivals in the space of three years was the common knowledge among Indonesian people smugglers  that the ALP, the VERY politicised HRC and the leftist media where (and are) open to a good sob story. We've  now learnt, (such as in the case of the Somalian woman who claimed she was raped only to retract in the 11th hour upon facing the threat of deportation  for making false accusations) that the sob stories don't  even need to be true. We keep hearing of a lot about a few geniune cases of abuse scattered with hearsay, threats of self harm and outraged, hanky-wringing about the nature of detention. All very unfortunate  and sad. While not offering a justification; I merely ask, white-hamlet man; Do you have a PERFECT alternative  that doesn't  involve reopening  the Timor seaway, drownings in Australian waters and ushering in unscreened Jihadis?

Firsfly, the Australian Government is doing it's  part to prevent asylum seekers drowning at sea; if other countries refuse to adopt a stance that works, then perhaps you should be protesting the open border policies of other countries rather than adopting an illogical argument merely because it comes from your favourite thought criminals (the Liberal Party). Secondly, rehashing the same ole' posts over and over without offering solutions makes you yet another, standard SJW. Yea, it's  up to SOMEONE else  to come up with the answer; I'll  just sit back and take shots from behind the relative safety of a keyboard. Thirdly, Monis was screened and granted residency. That was a mistake. Is your argument that mistakes are made when asylum seekers are screened,so let's  not worry about screening?

The argument has been made that people should be detained in detention centres, until their identities and case for asylum have been made. You seem to be against that, other than being screened.

I think 3 meals a day, clothing, a bed, shelter, entertainment, medical attention, etc., were sufficient humane treatment for people who were not invited here.

Reports of asylum seekers committing self-harm and abuse against children are not something that helps their cause. In fact, it helps grow the number of people against having asylum seekers in Australia.

Unless one of them was a child of yours, of course.


Exactly.
Because I would not have a child if I knew there was no chance for a decent life for that child.

That is the difference,
I think before I force my wife to have child after child after child, just because I cannot or will not control myself.


Tell that to the parents of one of the children you want to die.

Tell that to the child.


Do you honestly think the parents give a F$#k.
As I stated, I would not have children if I knew that child was not going to have a chance at a reasonable life.
These deadbeats just keep on having children, knowing that they face a bleak and probably horrible future.
They obviously care not one tiny little bit for the children they have, other than as a means to possibly extort more aid from bleeding hearts and idiots who continue to feed the growing monster.

Yes I would tell them to their faces that what they are doing is disgusting, immoral and that they are the worst creatures on the planet for deliberately bringing a child into this life with no future at all.

As for the child, just look at the eyes of these poor children, they already know.

That's easy.

We will do what we always do, send them lots and lots of cash for doing absolutely nothing.
We are real good at that.
Just need to fleece the Australian taxpayer a bit more so we can send the money overseas to people who hate us.

Whats that I hear?
Fix the hospitals, schools, roads, help the homeless in Australia and use the money to help Australians?

NEVER, cant do that can we

That's right, we are all racist bigots who do nothing for anyone aren't we?

That's about it.

But!!

I have heard 'Our Betters' arguing that if we DON'T saturate the island nations to the north of us - China will - in order to get a foothold in these islands where they can build rocket launchers and such.

I don't know the answer to this scenario.

Perhaps you haven't heard that Australian aid overseas has been hugely cut in recent years,  that Australia is now considered to be the worst contributor overseas of any so-called developed countries in the world. It is known by many other countries, and it is an embarrassment for our govt.

But I'm sure that can only make YOU lot happy.
But what it does is further diminish us in the eyes of the world. I imagine you are aware that the detention of refugees off-shore is a source of disgust overseas, as well as to many of us here in Australia.

Emma, the Australian government has adopted a policy similar to the old saying: If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Give a man the means to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

AusAid's goal is to have a reciprocal approach to the overseas aid given. We want to see results in what we give. If the Re: Nauru disgrace.

It sure makes MEEE happy. Any move our government makes AWAY from being a hand-puppet to the One World No-Borders Socialists at UN headquarters tells me the boys and girls down there in Canberra are developing the guts to finally grow up and stop looking over their shoulder for UN approval for every decision they make.

We've got patients sleeping on gurneys in hospital corridors because there's no funding for building new hospitals, but meanwhile millions in charity dollars is being posted overseas by the idiots down in Canberra who struggle to understand the concept of 'prioritising' tax revenue.

The US and the UK have a population of over 200 million each.
We barely have 25 million people.

Per capita we give generously, just not at the levels that the UN demands we give.

WE have many homeless people here, who get little or no help, Should we not fix that problem first?
We have many homeless children here, should they not priority?
We have many pensioners who are living well below the poverty line, who have worked and paid taxes all their lives and are now thrown on the scrap heap because they no longer pay tax, should they not be considered?

I personally don't give a flying F$#K what other countries think of me.
I have been all over the world and seen how they treat their people, it aint nuffin to boast about.

Ill also bet France, Germany and Sweden wished they had taken the same line as us.

Most people think it means a person's first responsibility is for the needs of their own family and friends, yes?

"When people say 'Charity begins at home' they very often mean 'You should look after your own kids, family and own circle first and then be kind to people' which is not the original meaning of the proverb. The original meaning is that charity begins in the home - that is to say kids learn charity in the home." Link

"Charity begins at home" is one of those obnoxious phrases that people use to alleviate their guilt about never actually being charitable. But they are, of course, using the word "charity" in the sense that it's most commonly used today -- giving money or aid to poor people. When the phrase "charity begins at home" was first coined, the definition of "charity" was a little different. From Roman times up until recently, "charity" wasn't necessarily about giving alms. It was more of a state of mind, a mentality of kindness and benevolence. You know this if you've read a Bible, by the way -- the word for "charity" and the more general "love" are both translated from the same Greek word, "agape."

"The point being, when people first started saying "charity begins at home," what they were trying to get across was that being a loving person in the home leads to being a loving person out in the world. In other words, it served as an instruction about how to be more generous, which is kind of the opposite of the way it's used today as a warning against being too generous. Or, as other experts have pointed out, only an asshole could hear "charity begins at home" and interpret it to mean that it also ends there." Link

Who cares what it means.
I never even mentioned it.
I'm just saying that we should look after OUR country and OUR people before we worry about someone else's problem.

And rest assured, it is some else's problem.

We never caused it, they did it to themselves.

The US and UK are building weapons and selling them to the Terrorists.
Make these weapons manufacturers pay up, after all, they are the cause of the ongoing problem.
Cut the weapons and ammunition supply, and perhaps the trouble would diminish considerably.
Stop the weapons and ammunition supply and it would be gone in very little time.

But weapons manufacturers run governments and bribe politicians and public servants incessantly to allow them to ship all manner of weaponry anywhere they want.

They are the real cause
