another labor unforeseen consequence

Try and tell me that we are not "buying trouble" with Labor weak legislation and their irresponsible demeanor towards very real issues.

Detention centre 'ripe for child sex abuse'

REFUGEE advocates say both the immigration department and the minister knew there was a risk of child sex abuse occurring at detention centres housing cross-cultural families.

West Australian police have confirmed they are investigating allegations two children were sexually abused at a location in regional WA.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Nick Anticich said police had received a complaint about child sex abuse however due to privacy reasons would not go into detail.

"The child abuse squad has launched an investigation and is trying to verify the allegations," he said.

According to News limited, on Tuesday Child Abuse Squad detectives and specialist child interviewers flew to Leonora, the WA Goldfields town where a detention centre was established in June.

About 195 asylum seekers, including Afghans, Sri Lankans and Iranians and comprising of family groups are housed at the Leonora facility.

Victoria Martin-Iverson from the Refugee Rights Action Network said she had been aware of the allegations prior to media reporting.

Ms Martin-Iverson said she raised the potential risk of child sex abuse at Leonora with former immigration minister Chris Evans last month.

"I expressed to Mr Evans at a public forum the simple reality that we have families who are stressed and are in a situation where they have no power or control over who is with their children," she told AAP.

"That they are in no position to protect their children or deny access to their children. They created a situation which is ripe for abuse."

She said at the forum in Perth prior to the election, Mr Evans told her basically 'everything was fine' and rejected her comments". END

Can you imagine the endless stream of "compensation" claims that will flow through from these Detention Centres for many years to come.

It may be a fact that Trilby Misso have set up an office directly across the road.

The best way to avoid this is to stop the arrivals.

Think about it.....for just a minute or two, and see if you can work it out for yourself.

No room for lefties and do gooders on this issue.
