morrison the hollow man, page-45

Eagle, how would you like to live in a Somalian or Sudanese refugee camp with no money at all never mind the $10,000 to pay a people smuggler. Where is the candle light vigil for those people whose children starve to death.

This fake sympathy for an asylum seeker on Manus is only a political stunt. It's sad for the young man in question but when the family publicly asks for his body to be returned and the Iranian government demand an explanation you would have to assume that his plight didn't match those of people starving in camps.

The thousands of words written about this smacks of hypocrisy.
