Nothing justifies keeping a man who has committed no crime behind bars for seven years. _Seven years_. Just think for a minute as to how long that is. It boggles my mind that people think parochial arguments like "we mustn't set a dangerous precedent" can in any way justify these inhuman policies. They represent the way Australia has come to consider refugees and asylum seekers, with suspicion and without an ounce of compassion. We've become a nation of heartless bastards and paranoid wankers, and it's going to come back to bite us in the arse one day.
