A Midnight Oil Kind of Day


Much as I dislike Leno...  
   With the news from Manus Island and Australia's mishandling from beginning to end of a humanitarian crisis, I despair of this place. Vulnerable people, our neighbours, ventured to us for help [still finding 89% with genuine claims as refugees]. Given a smack by the Courts our Government abandons those they've held captive and sets up new facilities at risk of the locals ire and abandons our responsibility for these people, like a scolded child throwing a tantrum!!...
   It may be my country right or wrong, but this is wrong!! #bringthemhere I am ashamed to be Australian today!!
   Like the 1970s, like the UNHCR processes, like the 12,000 Syrians, like the former government community resettlement partnerships with host families... we must be better than this...
Let the clip run to see the genuine article late night host...
Who is our neighbour?
