Detainee wants childhood back
I have been so busy at work the past few weeks that I havn't had time for adding anything to this.

Australia is a pretty good place to live, however the current right wing red-neck government is a bit lacking in the "show the love" department. To be expected of course from a government led by George Bush's best mate Johnny Howard.

Today, The Australian ran a story about a young refugee boy who is now suing the government for child abuse - that is, accusing the government of abusing him by keeping him in detention.

Read the full story here:

Australia's treatment of refugees, and the keeping of children in detention is shocking, but it tends to be an old story these days.

I'll try and find some more good info on this.

Phillip Ruddock the then immigration minister is a bit of a shocker.
