Some people give "righties" a bad name. Surely, it is not just us "lefties" who have compassion?

in some circles "compassion" seems to have become a derogatory term.

Tara Moss the Barbara Cartland of crime fiction?
I tried one or two of her books and didn't like them. But that's just my personal opinion.
Look. I'm truly sorry about what happened to young Reza. I'm sure everyone is. By the way, has it been established who actually killed him? Guards? Locals? Other inmates?
According to Ms Moss's friend's contact's source:
"An Australian G4S guard who wouldn’t appear on camera because of his contract with the company told the ABC the 23-year-old Iranian man who died, Reza Berati, was hit with lengths of wood, with metal poles taken from beds and had his head or neck stomped. But the ABC cannot verify the accuracy of this information.
Let's say it's verified though. In that case who perpetrated this violence on him? Guards? Locals? Other inmates? And why?
Whatever and whoever it was a terrible end for that young man.
I can only hope things will be better under the new Transfield Security Group. Can't really see it though. If people are intent on riot and others intent on preventing it, it's bound to get ugly.
I don't have any kind of suggestion of a solution, but I support in every way Mr Abbott's Sovereign Borders, and that people arriving in boats without entry visas should not be allowed into Australia until they've been duly processed. Certainly not groups of young men. Families, or women with children, maybe.
I hope that people who try to jump the queue by paying people smugglers see that it's no longer open slather.
