Glad you liked the book. I have to say the Children Overboard chapter hit home the closest for me, but wasn't the most depressing chapter. That ended up being most of the book, with particular emphasis on Iraq...
It's actually more depressing in retrospect - I never thought anyone could be more heartless than Ruddock, and now we have Morrison.
Mind you, there is a black level of humour in how this government is realising that pretty much none of their "solutions" are actually working - stop the boats, hide the boats, give them new boats...
I'm also bizarrely impressed that they seem to be able to damage the diplomatic relationship with Indonesia quite so quickly and without any apparent thoughts to consequences. *sigh*
This new "code of conduct" for TPV holders though is a new level of low. What, exactly, constitutes spreading rumours at work? Unbelievably vague and ridiculous. I'm beginning to wonder if they're just trying to block up the High Court with challenges so they can get the rest of their crap though.
