Is anyone else here from Melbourne and attending the event at St. Pauls Cathedral this afternoon? If I get the chance to speak to either Bandt or Hanson-Young, I want to raise the question mentioned in this thread, regarding possible mass-graves pertaining to drownings at sea.

Personally I like the one asking them to publicly reject terrorism. You know right after the parramatta mosque already publicly rejected terrorism.

The event at St. Pauls Cathedral went really well I feel, SHY spoke well as did Bandt and the lovely and determined speaker from ASRC was really insightful. They responded to quite a few questions from the audience, though my question around the bodies of asylum seekers and their whereabouts did not get a mention, as expected sadly... I'm very interested about this, thanks to the few who have raised the concern of possible Australian influenced mass-graves of drowned humans, I will do my best to find out as much as I can. I'm really new to this, so I look forward to meeting the Vic premier very soon for an anniversary at the community centre I volunteer with, talking to politicians is oddly intriguing.

I find poll bludger most interesting in that the switch back to Rudd only brought the polls back to 50-50 but the switch to Turnbull is making the Coalition soar to 53-56%. I don't know whether to drink Whiskey or drown in it.

 He's just playing the middle ground till the election then after he stomps the cardboard cutout formerly known as Bill Shorten he'll do all sorts of terrible poo poo that will make Tony's inactivity look like a blessing. You just know he's itching to win the election and use it as a mandate to raise the GST, revive University deregulation and cut penalty rates. The campaigns from the Unions would have to be a loving masterstroke to take Turdball down in his first "term"

People shouldn't get pissed about Lynton Crosby. Yes, he is good at identifying wedge issues. So what. Identifying insecurities in society and working them to your electoral advantage only works because those divisions exist in the first place.

Lol, there are people itt who trust the counter-terrorist police. I scanned in the pages for and then printed the counter rerrorism manual for the police, back in like, 2006 or something. First of all, let that sink in. I was given training materials for a CT police department. Then, let me tell you something. The articles were worthless, intellectially dishonest propaganda pieces written exclusively by conservative jewish men. Lol at anyone who thinks the police have clue one about what they're doing.

but who thinks they do? of course our CT are useless. and that's good. the only way to "fight" terrorism is to be an open and inclusive society, not xenophobic and isolating, which is what leads to radicalisation. notice how the more 'counter terrorism' happens the more terrorism rises and more people are radicalised. there is no such thing as 'terrorism' as we know it, it's just a reactionary radicalisation to a societal issue. well, thanks for reading, ciao

Australia is believed to be seeking a deal with the Philippines to permanently resettle refugees in limbo in offshore detention centres. Cambodia has previously agreed to resettle refugees who tried to reach Australia by boat, but the $55m arrangement faced criticism stemming from the fact it was not contingent on the country taking a certain number of refugees. So far, just four have been transferred to Cambodia from the Australia-backed regional processing centre on Nauru. Australia’s foreign affairs minister, Julie Bishop, confirmed she was talking to the government of the Philippines about the “people smuggling” issue. “The governments of Australia and the Philippines have long cooperated on irregular migration, people smuggling and human trafficking. These issues are important to both countries, and to the region,” Bishop’s spokeswoman said on Friday. “These issues were discussed at a meeting between foreign minister Julie Bishop and her counterpart, secretary Mr Albert del Rosario, in the margins of the UN general assembly in New York,” the spokeswoman said. A deal has not been finalised, but News Corp papers reported that Australia had offered funding of $150m over five years in the initial talks. The president of the Philippines, Benigno Aquino, had yet to sign off on the deal, according to the reports. Australia funds regional processing centres on Nauru and Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island, but the operations have faced criticism on safety grounds – including relating to rape allegations – and long delays in people having their refugee claims assessed. Nauru’s commitment to process all refugee claims by the end of this week will not be met, with a senior government official saying the claims of some might still take weeks to resolve. On Monday, Nauru’s justice minister, David Adeang, “committed the government to processing all remaining refugee claims within the next week”. But the deputy director of the department of justice and border control, Shyla Vohra, told the ABC complex cases, and the cases of people sent to Australia for medical care, will take longer to resolve. “There are going to be some cases that can’t be finalised quickly for whatever reason, or [where people] need to be re-interviewed, or where we consider we need further information or further research to be done,” Vohra said. “The remaining cases, where we need to do further research and re-interviews, we’re hoping to get done in the next few weeks; it depends on the complexity of the case really.” Some of the 600 on Nauru have been there for more than two years without having their refugee status finalised. Since being re-opened in August 2012, Nauru’s detention centre has been mired in controversy, with consistent reports of assaults of asylum seekers, rapes of women inside and outside the camps, sexual abuse of children and inadequate medical care. There are currently 653 people held in detention on Nauru, including 114 women and 93 children. The detention camp has become an “open centre” this week, with asylum seekers able to move around the island. Australia’s high court on Thursday reserved its decision on a legal challenge to offshore detention following a two-day hearing. Reza Barati, a 23-year-old Iranian asylum seeker, was killed during unrest at the Manus detention centre in February 2014. Two Papua New Guinean men are on trial on murder charges.
