From inside one of Australia’s secretive offshore camps for refugees and asylum seekers, a young Iranian woman told stories of the desperation surrounding her.
A 5-year-old boy was struck in the face with a stone thrown by a guard. A woman was raped. A girl was forced to swallow laundry detergent. Two refugees set themselves on fire, one burning to death.

Politicians are accusing the Australian government of spending far too much money on taking diplomats to cuddle with koalas.






SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia’s opposition Labor Party’s launched a “Waste-pedia” booklet and Waste Watch website on Thursday, accusing the coalition government of over-lavish spending - including $400,000 on “koala and other marsupial-related events.”

“This government is obsessed with hugging koalas. We’ve had $400,000 which included (foreign minister) Julie Bishop paying $133,000 to fly four koalas to Singapore Zoo,” opposition minister Pat Conroy said outside parliament.
“She spent I think it was $130,000 taking diplomats to Western Australia where they hugged wombats for a change - so at least they changed up the marsupial.”
It was not immediately clear how the figures were reached.
Australia’s marsupials, including koalas and kangaroos, are mammals that mostly carry their young in a pouch and are a major tourist draw for the country.
The report also flagged the cost of koala hire during the 2014 G20 summit in Brisbane, in which then Prime Minister Tony Abbott famously threatened to “shirt-front” Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

“Tony Abbott ... was talking about shirt-fronting Vladimir Putin, but in the end he spent $24,000 on letting him hug a koala.”

Dumbfukk OP if u did your research you'd realize that 'offshore' means not in Australia's jurisdiction

Is it morally dubious?? Most certainly but we do have the most cohesive multicultural society for a reason...

haha nah we did have a meth and ice epidemic maybe 10 years ago, but since then we've had a big drop. i think it may be all the money pumping into advertising. i remember in high school the ads were at every bus stop, taxi, movies, you name it.
