Border Force: Tough on Illegals, Tough on Nuns Department of Immigration ends 'inappropriate' outings for children in detention run by nuns A program run by a group of Catholic nuns that took children in immigration detention on outings has been deemed "not appropriate" by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. The Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project (BASP), run by the Brigidine Sisters, took groups of children from the Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation (MITA) in Broadmeadows out into the community for supervised day trips. Sister Brigid Arthur said the program had run for four years until it was stopped by Australian Border Force (ABF) "about six months ago". "[We'd] go to the Collingwood Children's Farm, go to the zoo occasionally, out to adventure playgrounds," Sister Brigid told 774 ABC Melbourne's Jon Faine. "Anything that actually can entertain the kids and give them some stimulation." The program also included occasional day trips for adults in immigration detention. Sister Brigid said the program had been suspended by the ABF, which said it was "under review". "We haven't actually been able to resume it, so presumably the review has ... had a negative outcome," Sister Brigid said. ABF Regional Commander Don Smith told 774 ABC Melbourne's Rafael Epstein that he stopped the program because he was not comfortable with supervision levels. "There were reports about some activities that were being undertaken by the nuns and the other members of the program where the levels of supervision for those activities weren't to the standard that I was comfortable with," he said. He said the nuns would be welcome to join Serco officers on existing excursions organised for detainees. "We welcome the nuns to participate in the excursions that we already have, we see that there is a degree of duplication in the activities, there was also a concern that we had insufficient oversight of what the activities that were being planned," he said. "It's not the nuns ... the nuns were part of a program called the Designated Persons Program, so it wasn't just those nuns there were other members of the community who were interested in the welfare of people at the MITA, which of course I welcome. "But the types of activities and the places they were taking them to, we had no visibility of and no control over." In a statement, a spokesperson for the Immigration Department confirmed the program had been reviewed and, on a number of occasions, the outings were "not deemed appropriate and there was limited supervision of the activities". "The welfare of all detainees, including children, is of paramount importance to the department," the statement added. "While this specific program has ceased, Serco will continue to offer excursions and activities in a safe and controlled manner. "The department continues to work with organisations formerly involved in delivering this program." Sister Brigid said there were never any incidents or escape attempts on the outings. "The outings were amazingly free from any incident. The people were so pleased to be out and about," she said. "Most of the kids don't want to go with the officers, who are seen to be 'security' people." ... Victorian senator John Madigan said his office had placed a call to Mr Dutton's office "to seek clarification" on the status of the Brigidine Sisters' project. "I'm totally bewildered ... as to what the hell is happening here," Senator Madigan said. He said he could not understand what problem could be with taking children out of the detention centre for excursions to places like the Collingwood Children's Farm. "Some would say it's a form of torture to have them cooped up," the senator said. Sister Brigid said the rules at the detention centre were becoming "more draconian ... under the guise of security". She described the conditions for detainees at MITA as "worse than a prison". "They don't know when they're going to get out, what they're going to get out to - it's just an awful, awful situation," she said. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-02/nuns-day-trips-for-children-in-detention-halted-by-border-force/6993808

Recently I found a video of one of the Reclaim Australia people giving a speech at the Brisbane rally (which was the one on the 22nd of Nov). I find it pretty interesting because I couldn't hear anything beyond what we were chanting in the counter-protest but it's some real things, in my opinion. I was also unaware that they'd been denied the use of halls or whatever to actually congregate in the past (what a surprise). A really interesting insight into what is becoming a pretty pervasive political opinion within Australia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioZEhzwZJSE

Also I've just got to say that the video is really really extreme, full of hate speech etc. it's pretty loving scary as hell. If you are really low on faith in humanity you prob won't want to watch that.

So apparently all of the resignation and changing teams shenanigans yesterday are to force the numbers issue for having more Nationals in cabinet under the coalition agreement. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/barnaby-joyce-on-ian-macfarlane%27s-move-to/7000772 This will surely lead to more women in cabinet as the Nationals actually have one (1), http://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=249764, Michelle Landry. Well.. http://www.skynews.com.au/news/top-stories/2015/12/04/macfarlane-hints-at-further-liberal-defection.html quote:One of Mr Macfarlane's new Queensland Nationals colleagues Michelle Landry would like to see him return to cabinet. 'He's got a lot of experience to bring to the party and I think that it's a wonderful move,' she told ABC TV. But she admitted any promotion would have to be based on merit, saying the partyroom had a 'very frank' discussion about Mr Macfarlane coming in. Ms Landry said she wouldn't be surprised if Scott Buchholz also joins the Nationals fold. Also a Queensland MP, Mr Buchholz lost his position as chief whip under Mr Turnbull. If the Ministry for Comedic Timing is on their game hopefully there will be some pre-Xmas developments in the Brough brouhaha. At least enough to keep the dysfunctional government story in the air till they can return from the summer adjournment and take up the reins for themselves.

It's ridiculous to think that uncontrolled mass migration to the West might ever pose difficult moral or technical challenges to our nations. Maybe he should focus on the actual responsibilities of a Defence Minister and like, I don't know, maybe actually ensure that our troops have the equipment to discern and discuss the climate-change implications of the helicopter rotor transporting them to the restorative justice based beachball dialogue for the manatees of Kiribati. But who cares about compassionate and humane policies when there are scared bogans around right.
