Because the father is detained.....far out, it's not hard to understand.

Maybe it's harder for some  to understand than others LT 

 

An asylum seeker who was moved off Nauru to give birth is being locked up for 18 hours a day in a detention centre in Brisbane while her week-old baby remains in hospital with respiratory problems.

did you have a look at the Detention centre and see where she is "locked up" for 18 hours a day?

 

It was for 3 days that the mothers access was restricted to 6 hours visits a day. The baby was only in hospital for 8 days, 4 of which the mother was there 24/7 - released on day 8

are you missing the point? 

I was posting about why the Father wasn't permitted to see his child too.

LT's comment is highlighted .

my post merely notes  that the Mother was also detained.

yeah, but biology meant that she had to give birth, that's something the father couldn't do.

Then I think that it would  all be perfect that way if they were animals rather than human beings.

I've seen people post things like if people (referring to Australians) can't support and take care of  themselves and their families where live..

they should just move.

That is exactly what this family did .

yeah, and if they don't like the rules and conditions of where they chose to move to, then perhaps they need to find somewhere more suitable to their requirements.

Everybody has to abide by the rules and systems in place of their chosen destination, be it be to the next street, suburb, state or country.

they could all go to Burma perhaps.

I don't know what they do or don't like.....I am posting as an Australian in Australia.I don't like human cruelty which has my name on it.

Having come from Myanmar, I think you will find that they left Burma.

They then went to Malaysia, where for 10 years they were safe. There are many refugee camps in Malaysia that offer safety.

The whole purpose of a person seeking assylum is to seek safety.

If they want more, then they have no business seeking assylum, they really need to abide by and confirm with the rules and laws of wherever it is that they choose to travel.

and now I will leave you to it.

Human Cruelty, are you for real?

ROFLMAO

Not that long ago, women rarely saw the kids they gave birth to until they left hospital 10 days later. Fathers didn't attend the birth, and rarely had anything to do with the kid. And to think, this was Australia. 

Please don't taint real issues with "human cruelty" just because you need a cause to rebel against the party you didn't vote for.

Please don't mistake my different opinions and views on ALL human life as well as the acknowledgent of what being human actually means.... as being political .It's personal and profession and part of what I consider being a good person to be and do.My views don't change as our PM's change.

Most Mum's with prem babies in special care units, don't get to stay overnight. My neice's son was born 8 weeks premature and was in hospital (Southport) for about a month. She went in the morning and stayed till dinner time. Her OH came in after work.. weekends they both went in. I stayed with them and visited at the hospital also. by the time we went home in the early evening, there weren't many if any other Mum's still there either...some had other children at home, partners at work too, so they couldn't be there all day.

I spent 10 days in hospital with my toddler daughter when she had Haemophilius influenzae type b (Hib). She needed intravenous antibiotics every 6 hours. She was in isolation and the room had a bed, cot and baby bath. That was 20 years ago though.

Why is it that asylum seekers that arrive here by ricketty boats, get the best treatment they would never receive in their own country, but still complain about not getting enough?

Have any of you considered that even after 10 years in detention in Malaysia, they still have tens of thousands of dollars to pay the people smugglers?

Something does not add up for me.

OK, Australia is a big country, but only a small part is inhabitable. We have only 22m people here and only a quarter or less is working and paying taxes. That is very little revenue the Government gets compared to other countries, to spend on resettling refugees.

No, I was not born here. I came from a war torn country 55 years ago. Waited my turn to come here legally and had to live in Bonnegilla pennyless until I found a job and made enough money to rent a house for my family.

There were no handouts or mollycoddling from the Government.

Am I biased? Yes, I am, and I am a proud naturalised Australian citicen.

My father told me before I left for this beautiful country; "You go to a new world, you have to learn the language, the laws of the land and the customs, and assimilate if you want to make it your home for the rest of your life.

How many assylum seekers assimilate here after being granted to stay?

I am all for helping needy people, but when they start demanding more than one can give, my compassion vanes drastically.
