This country has changed, considerably, for the worse in the four years I've been here.
Racism, misinformation, lack of compassion... all of it thanks to Howard in my opinion.
Who says One Nation was an aberration?

Yeah, Australia definately has an ugly side to it. The reason why One nation collapsed was because Howard adapted most of thier policies. Howard is undoubtedly a racist, his early 1980s ideas about asian people speak for themselves.
I think 'the dangerous precedent' was set in 1939 when Jews were refused asylum fleeing nazi germany and were forced to turn back. This is one of the main reason we have this law. We should be giving them 'a fair go', and at least treating them like bloody human beings.
