I think RocketMan has a very good point. In this county we let people who are accused of all sorts of crimes continue to exist in society on bail, because we have a presumption of innocence. Shouldn't this presumption apply to people from other countries who come to this country seeking our compassion?
This issue doesn't make me embarrased to be an Austrailan, it makes me angry that some of our politicians are prepared to use fear as a political weapon, and to exploit an issue such as this for their own gain.
