Two things from Amnesty

Trauma of prolonged detention still evident at Christmas Island: "... centre management feel the need to implement extraordinarily harsh measures to try to prevent behaviour that is largely a product of an already damaging system. Asylum seekers are not criminals and should not be treated as such."

Gaps in rhetoric on Government’s proposed ‘Stronger Future’ for Indigenous Peoples | No ‘fair go’ in Stronger Futures: Since the Intervention in the NT, "... many of the affected Aboriginal communities have endured a litany of inadequately researched, knee-jerk measures that have denied their human rights." The guvmint's latest strategy continues the long and thoroughly failed tradition of imposing solutions from outside.
