In the latest example, in a long list of mindless and insensitive comments, he has made a number of negative and thoughtless comments regarding children being held in immigration detention. 

The Human Rights Commission report, The Forgotten Children, is a damning report on the health and well-being of 330 children still held in detention camps. 

Both major parties have a great deal to answer for when it comes to the implementation of their asylum-seeker policies. 

When future generations read of our recent refugee policies and their implementation, I’m sure that they’ll see them as a shameful chapter in out nation’s history. 

P.S. I sat down at my computer to type a letter of reply to David Jackson’s long and detailed letter (“Climate contradiction”, CWD, February 14) but, for the first time in my life, I was lost for words!
