    That’s right. Bill Shorten should have the courage and decency to embrace a completely new refugee policy: -one which does NOT depend on deliberate cruelty as a supposed deterrent -one which is founded on humanity and decency...and honesty

    IMHO what we can learn from the US in Aust is that supporting rights and dignity for refugees is not electoral poison. The idea that the ALP (for example) must take a hard line for practical electoral reasons is wrong. It’s possible to build a broad alliance to support refugees.

    Love you, Mark Knight, but some of us are really sick of the “women in bed with ...” genre of political cartoons: legs akimbo, giving birth, having sex with. It’s tedious. It’s tired. It’s insulting. Enough now.
