Australia's asylum policy: teenage detainees' plight shines light on regime

I do hope this is a beat up because if it isn't, it's appalling. The pic that accompamies it is just so disappointing.

I see the pic as a routine check for weapons etc.  Very necessary IMO.

Appalling, disgusting and disgraceful

It is 100% necessary to search all persons entering Australian territory. Adults do hide weapons and drugs on children. The search is required and justified.

Abbott is frank: "We don't apologise for the fact they're not five-star or even three-star hotels," he stated firmly during his first media interview of the new year. "Nevertheless we are confident that we are well and truly discharging our humanitarian obligations."

I am not sure you could suggest this is even close to 3 stars?

I think it might be apt for him to say he doesn't apologise for the fact they are slum accommodations.... or worse.

missed the point? I didn't say it was not necessary to search them.

a routine check for weapons - seriously - what weapons would they be - a highly dangerous teddy bear.

Is this what happens when you come back from hols at your local airport - if you have children is this what happens?
