Abbott and Rudd are having a childish and obscene contest to claw redneck, racist and bigot votes off each other to win an election. The more horror stories that emerge from Australia's offshore concentration camps the better chance each leader thinks he has of winning, but the more chance of riots and brutal repression there is leading to more tyranny.
All I can do is vote Green and donate money to help them to defeat two monsters: Rudd and Abbott.
Australia is a nation built by migrants and refugees. Nobody can make time go backwards to Federation when the first act the new Parliament passed was the White Australia Act to keep us "British to our Bootstraps". Even then it was too late. Gold had brought people from many lands to seek a better life in far-away Australia.
