A ripping (and short) Parliamentary speech about "Australian values" from NSW Nationals MP Adrian Piccoli. It was heartening for me to see someone of an immigrant background stick up for more recent immigrants, including refugees; this doesn't always happen.

Torture has always been illegal in Australia - in fact, its abolition in British law predates colonisation by over a century. Modern law requires Australia not to condone torture and to suppress and discourage its use. (High Court Chief Justice Murray Gleeson's entire speech is available online yay.)
