The Raid

Rewatching "The Raid" (my last attempt was interrupted), I was struck by the opening scenes, which show the Muslim protagonist alternatively vigorously training and quietly praying. In a Western movie or TV show, this would be introducing a terrorist. In this Indonesian movie, it's introducing a morally upright police officer.

Doctors4Refugees on Facebook posted yesterday that the first group of refugees "swapped" with the United States have arrived safely. Refugees from Manus and Nauru will be settled in the states of California, Texas, Arizona, Oregon, and New York.

I assume Peter Dutton's talkback radio attack on the refugees who have at last escaped Manus is a pre-emptive strike; surely now the full story of the detention centre will come out via the US press.
