Baxter Detention Centre to close....
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Australia's conservative government now believes it has the upper hand in its fight against illegal immigration, and has said that Baxter is no longer needed.... That approach is being reinforced by the construction of another offshore processing centre on Christmas Island, a remote Australian territory in the Indian Ocean.
NO! NO! NO! ABORT! ABORT! ABORT! SITUATION CRITICAL! FAILING! FAILING!

Hey, who needs compassion? It's fear that wins elections, baby!

Well... at least the winter nights won't be so freaking cold for them* if we don't manage to uninstall the current Gov in time. Have you heard much about when that election's going to actually be, btw? Even Wiki couldn't help me last time I looked.

(* did you ever hear about anything about the three blanket policy they had in either Woomera or Baxter? Someone I knew who works for a refugee charity said that people in one of those places were only permitted three blankets per person, and they had to have two blankets over them & one underneath - if someone was sleeping on the floor & used an extra blanket underneath to stop the cold, they'd be cut down to two blankets as punishment for 'innapropriate use')

Yep, & I hope anyone who votes the libs back in this election wake up every morning for the next three years with severe hypothermia & blood-covered hands :-/
