It’s a report written in 2013 about Asian girls who suffer sexual exploitation.
“They are most vulnerable to offenders from their own communities who manipulate cultural norms to prevent them from reporting their abuse.”

“The order prohibited religious groups from using amplifiers, distributing leaflets and displaying Bible verses in public spaces.”
Looks like it was more about making loud noises in public than religious freedom…

“Maximising capacity” & “fast track” are somewhat different suggestions.
The former is about making the system better for all. The latter is expediting some at the expense of others.

Fast track for those on long-term sick leave or benefits?
This, by definition means that those who don’t go on long-term sick leave or benefits should be in the slow track (deprioritised).
Are you sure about this?

Immigration isn’t a problem. But high visibility of asylum seekers in hotels is an easy political target for populists.
Could this be ameliorated by 3 measures?
- allow asylum seekers to work (some then self-support)
- a ‘house a refugee’ programme (dispersal)
- speed up processing (reduce backlog)

Ages ago I read an article suggesting that US was fundamentally politically & culturally similar to its Latin American neighbours (except more stable since 1865 & more successful economically). Canada, by contrast was fundamentally similar to European countries.
Maybe explains the US caudillo?
