The Govt bought the land for between $4M and $10M and then sold it back to the seller for $1.27M. It refuses to tell the public (via #FOI) or the Senate (via questions on notice) the purchase price. Maladministration, or something more sinister? #auspol

Some don’t understand that demonising refugees& asylum seekers is a red line for any healthy nation. As a group of people, like any other, they include the brilliant, good & bad, but labelling them as lesser humans undeserving of compassion, safety & equality is definitely bad for the whole country.

Is Australia in a youth crime crisis? Here’s what the numbers say
State governments across the country have brought in harsher laws to deal with youth crime in recent years. But do the stats justify the punitive measures?
