bulldogo.1 writes "Most Australians are appalled with the way the conservative Federal government treats political asylum seekers here. They are routinely rounded up and immediately placed in detention centres (jails), where they are held for years. In the past some have been freed, but only if they are women or children. The latest chapter in this sorry story again has humane Australians up in arms. But no-one, now or in the past, comments on the gender discrimination of it all."
