Australia's detention regime sets out to make asylum seekers suffer, says chief immigration psychiatrist | World | The Guardian
Good, detailed report by David Marr [and some other journalist who hasn't been on Insiders so I don't know him] on the harm indefinite detention in offshore camps is causing.
The situation is clearly much worse in a humanitarian sense than it was under Howard - where a considerable number of the detained at least had a fair hope of ending up in Australia (or New Zealand, if I recall correctly) if they waited long enough.
The current people there can see no resolution on the horizon at all.
I still believe that the public is simply "living with" this because the government has kept details of conditions under such tight wraps. There needs to be more exposure and humanising of the detainees.
