Don't really know why I am posting this, as the most vocal responders will be our small host of bigoted cuntbags. But the cruelty of the Australian government is getting beyond ridiculous.

Australia's sick and proud message to the world: refugees are going to suffer

You might think that, now that desperate asylum seekers have been shot dead and severely injured in an Australian-run camp, we cannot possibly sink any lower. That’s unfortunately not true

Last week, we learned that the Australian government had funded a nasty little comic book intended to deter those seeking asylum from making the journey to Australia; the narrative culminates with images of asylum seekers languishing miserably in mosquito-plagued camps.

Perhaps an updated version can now depict them being shot or hacked at with machetes.

Why not? That’s the logic of deterrence, isn’t it? Continue to make refugees miserable until the oppression they face from Australians becomes worse than that which they’re fleeing.

Immigration minister Scott Morrison has, naturally, provided few details of the tragedy unfolding on Manus Island other than to confirm the death of one asylum seeker and injuries to 77 others during a riot in the Australian-sponsored detention centre, but description from refugee advocate Ian Rintoul sounds almost like a tsarist pogrom:

Gangs of armed police and locals actually went from compound to compound, hunting down asylum seekers and inflicting very serious injuries on people that they got their hands on.

Of course, Rintoul’s version can’t currently be confirmed – but that’s scarcely surprising. Australia has deliberately cloaked its detention centre archipelago in so many layers of secrecy that we know almost nothing about what goes on there. The camps are the equivalent of private businesses remotely located in foreign countries, and everything about them is designed to frustrate journalists seeking to report on them

''Australia's sick and proud message to the world: BOGUS refugees are going to suffer''

fIxed

Should be a successful strategy.

These people should be grateful. They've been given a nice camp, away from the awful oppression in their own country, and all they can do is riot, instead of saying thanks.

Bad things happen when you riot.

And here's our first bigot.

Did anybody's brains get eaten? This is Papua New Guinea, after all.

And here's our first bigot.

I feel sorry for the one in ten thousand, who is a genuine refugee. But that's no reason to let the 9,999 sneak in, pretending that they are the one genuine one.

It's a price the genuine refugees pay, because of the huge number of cheats.
All the more reason to treat the cheats like shit.

Facts. You should acquaint yourself with them. Over 90% of asylum seekers arriving by boat are granted asylum.

Isn't that a good incentive to make sure the boats sink
