Australia's Offshore Detention

The Cowards of Australia: In these days and age of sophisticated and widely connected global media, the news items come and go with the rolling screens of my facebook page. Of course, we routinely rant about our political leaders just like this FB postings . Many express their disgust about the exploitative nature of Scott Morisson's comment as: bigoted, racist, idiotic and so forth (all 67 comments, I believe).

Its always refreshing to see a conscience driven Melissa Parke was trying to remove offshore detention of asylum seekers. Thank you. But remember Melissa Parke is rather lonely voice within the Labor party. When looking back twenty years, there and here, we only have disappointments one after others.
