Australia is a Polyglot nation with many wonderful attributes
Australia is my nation and my home
However we have a long and tawdry history of racism and Xenophobia and the behaviour we as a nation state are allowing our politicians to display around "Boat People" is deeply unjust.
Any asylum seeker seeking our protection should be offered it in a generous and concerned spirit - if we find the individual is a risk or a concern then we have open judicial and policing methods enough to deal with them and preserve public safety.
The Immigration Star Chambers and creation of a Border Protection Force that are not answerable to normal police methods and the judiciary is unsafe - it places good governance and thus the nation state at risk.
Our major Political Parties show themselves to be callow power hungry ciphers for the worst of our populace's prejudices.
We are shamed
