Comment:

So you're going to be tougher on asylum seekers? What on earth FOR?

You make me ashamed to be an Australian. You make me ashamed to be party to this inhumane treatment of those in need of refuge.

It's not just inhumane, it's bloody stupid. How much does it cost the government to keep asylum seekers in detention? What is the social cost when they're let out, traumatized? How many of these people are going to hate Australia when they're let out? If you want build-your-own-enemy factories, you're doing a great job.

And of course there's our international reputation, but you obviously don't care about that either. Indonesia? Yeah, let's aggravate one of our closest neighbours. Great idea!

Since you're so set on being a TOUGH GUY, why not just shoot them on sight? It would put them out of their misery so much sooner, and it would be cheaper too.

WAKE UP, Mr. Rudd. It's time to dismantle these insane detention policies, bring these people into our society, and put them to work, helping to build a more prosperous Australia. Take all that money you're spending on detention centres, and use it to employ these people. Build up the public infrastructure. Build railways. Do GOOD.

Make me proud to be an Australian.

Sincerely,
Kathryn A#######
