    While Liberal trolls sharpen their claws to demonise
    asylum seekers (up hill and down dale) there are
    three relevant stories in today's Canberra Times:

    1: PNG accuses the Coalition of "misrepresenting" the
    deal PNG did with Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. That's
    nothing new for the Liberals. John Howard altered
    Navy photos of a refugee boat to make it appear
    that refugees were throwing their children
    overboard to bully Australia into caving
    in to their demands. Howard won an
    election with trickery and lies.
    Abbott is Howard's alter boy.

    2: Former Liberal PM Malcolm Fraser is calling for a royal
    commission into Australia's offshore concentration
    camp Gulag, likening it to Stalin's Siberian Gulag
    of forced labour camps. Malcolm Fraser has
    what Rudd and Abbott lack: Noblesse oblige.
    Its literal meaning is "nobility obliges"
    the nobles to treat the commoners
    with dignity, respect and fairness.
    Hence Malcolm champions the
    refugees rotting in prisons.

    3: Investors in Canberra's housing market are
    punting that Rudd (not Abbott) will win the
    election. If investors thought Abbott would
    win with his Sack/Relocate public servants
    policy, investors would dump and run.
    BUT money is pouring into Canberra:
