research discriminitation, it's definition and exactly what is legal and illegal.
I've answered your question, read back a bit.
Every unprocessed person is a potential risk. Neither you or I are qualified to determine who is and who isn't a risk. However there are laws and protocols put in place by those whose responsibility it is to ensire the best conditions possible for everybody according to their circumstances.
We are a liberal society and our laws are based on what is best for the greater good of every person, not individuals.
I understand that this isn't the best scenario for this family, but it is what it is and I have no doubt that we did the best that we were able to and what we knew how to do at the time under the circumstances.
You know that I am an advocate for assylum seekers, but I am also realistic and understand some of the practicalities involved. People need to understand or at least accept that there is a much bigger picture than is capable of our comprehension than one family who gave birth, who was afforded a safe place in which to do that, adequate medical care etc
Perhaps you should have a look at The Detention Centre in Nauru and recognize which country it actually belongs to.
Oh and also take note of this excerpt - how do you know that this man or this family were not involved in this charming little scenario?
July 2013 riot
On 19 July 2013 a riot occurred at the detention centre and caused $60 million damage. Police and guards had rocks and sticks thrown at them. Four people were hospitalised, though their injuries were minor.[20] Other people were treated for bruising and cuts.[21] The riot began at 3pm when the detainees staged a protest.[22] Up to 200 detainees escaped and about 60[23] were held overnight at the islands police station.[24] Several vehicles[25] and buildings including accommodation blocks for up to 600 people, offices, dining room, and the health centre were destroyed by fire. This is about 80 percent of the centre's buildings.[20][23] 129 of 545 male detainees were identified as being involved in the rioting and were detained in the police watch house.[2
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
