Mandatory detention is tantamount to an inhuman process of degradation of, in the main, severely disadvantaged (on a global scale) people who are desperate to achieve a better and freer life. |

John Howard's cruel detention regimes shame us all. It sickens me that our politicians turn a blind eye ! |

I strongly endorse women, children AND MEN being released from detention centres while their applications are being processed. If other countries can manage it surely Australia can. |

This country has resources to share; most people would not make the dangerous journeys they do if not desparate, and if we did make the odd 'mistake' does that make it wrong to admit desparate folk? |

I am sickened by Australia's mandatory detention policy. It offends my values. It appeals to Australians' latent fears fear of the "yellow peril" but displays lack of imagination and a complete lack of compassion for others. |

There should be a limit of say no more than one year in detention. The mainline attitude of both parties and their unwillingness to allow a conscience vote is detestable. Children in detention is an abomination. |

Our refugee policy is an embarrassment when we discuss human rights abuses in other countries. How can Australia act effectively as a force for positive change in the international arena when we have this shame on our own soil? |

The mandatory detention system requires a complete overhaul. It has a culture of cruelty and rejection. the Refugge Review "Tribunal" consists of one government chosen, variously qualified, often culturally insensitive individuals. |

Did the Government stop to think that if Al Qaeda was sending terrorists that they would be doing so via working visas, not sending men, women and children via Indonesia where they will most likely be caught and put into detention centres for years? |

The Howard Government has potentiated: ethnicism; irrational fear; hatred of disadvantaged people; apathetic disregard for reconciliation; a retrogade approach to life; the class division of rich and poor; and licentious, political lying. |
