and here are the 'armed personnel'

An asylum-seeker is apprehended by guards after leaving the Christmas Island airport terminal while in transit. Picture: Colin Murty Source: The Australian

Serco manages and operates immigration facilities in Australia on behalf of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

Administered under two contracts, these include Immigration Detention Centres, Alternative Places of Detention, Immigration Residential Housing, and Immigration Transit Accommodation.

Wow, look at the guns. And batons, and tasers, and capsicum spray.

One of them is even carrying a crutch to beat the detainees with !

And look at that woman guard, she has TWO lethal weapons in use at the same time.

Oh, sorry, they are hands

Maybe Triggs needs to go to an Optomotrist

That woman guard on the ground should have kicked upwards very hard into the nuts of the bloke over here.

Would have made him think twice about pushing a woman again.

The head of the company which runs Australia's detention centres has admitted that administration staff were told to act as security during the Christmas Island riots.

Outside the hearing, the union United Voice said Serco's administrative staff were dressed in the blue polo t-shirts normally worn by security guards and were put on the front lines.

Which is irrelevant in the scheme of things.

They aren't armed.

Anonymous · ‎04-03-2015

i think it is relevant because it further

demonstrated there were no armed personnel.

When Ms Triggs was faced with one of the difficult questions, after a stutter she started the don't-you-know-who-I-am routine, citing that she'd been in law for 40 years, etc. That sort of comeback really riles me and appears to be a belittling bullying tactic.

Morrison: "...and are you suggesting that Long Bay Gaol is the same as a pool fenced Alternative Place Of Detention at Phosphate Hill on Christmas Island"?
Triggs: "............um, I would like to move on but basically I have been a practicing lawyer since I was 22 years old so I know a prison when I see it"

To Glee, selective removal of parts of my thread makes a nuisance of things.

Julia has responded well on my behalf to.

If there were no armed guards, does that mean the abuse documented in that report didn't happen?
