I think the way we have been treating asylum seekers coming to this country has degraded our humanity. The way a society treats less fortunate people is the true measure of our worth. |

The government has recently produced a "Values" framework to be promoted in all schools. It is a pity that these values do not apply to the government's policies. |

Why are we so 'protected' from the stories and images of refugees held in dentention in Australia. They really are the forgotten people in this country. I am ashamed. |

We are supposed to be living in a society where we are innocent until proven guilty. We are outraged when Australians arrested in foreign countries are treated as guilty before they are tried, yet we do exactly the same thing here – to children! |

The longer this type of "detention" goes on the more appalling things get. Try looking up "concentration camp" in the Macquarie dictionary, you might be surprised. |

Detention should be neither mandatory, indefinite nor free from legal processes. The practice damages health, and lessens us as a nation. |

Mandatory Detention not only offends our international obligations and basic human rights it is also against the Seperation of Powers Doctrine, a doctrine necessary to ensure a democratic, liberalistic governmental system prevails in Australia. |

Mandatory detention for indefinite periods of time, both in Australia and other places such as Christmas Island and Nauru, is a breach of international conventions to which Australia is a signatory. The people in detention should be released. |

For too long we have seen the debilitating effects of indefinite, non-reviewable detention and temporary protection. Asylum seekers have not broken any laws when they sought protection in Australia. They should not be treated like criminals. |

At a time when so much is being said by politicians about the aging of our population, children should be nurtured and given a chance to become citizens, not turned away or detained. |
