They kept kids in a concentration camp for 6 years until the loving USA decided that enough was enough there

Like the US didn't storm the camps or anything, they just decided to take the people in rather than let Australia murder them via neglect.

We were just sick of Australia always stealing our schtick, they're like a clingy little brother.

Isn't Australia so bad at this point that the last of your children in your concentration camps got sent to the US to save them?

Australia still has kids in immigration detention.

Let me guess, they're waiting until they just have more adults in immigration detention, so it doesn't sound quite as evil

There are plenty of adults.
And they don't care if they sound evil; the Australian public has proven, through several elections now, that we don't care about the people illegally imprisoned in our concentration camps.

No man ever did me so much good, or enemy so much harm, but I repaid him with ENDLESS SHITPOSTING
To be fair, it's not like there's an actual problem they're trying to solve, nor do most politicians actually care one way or another. Elections have been fought over and won by whomever can provide the most ruthless response to non-white asylum seekers coming to Australia by boat. It's just a tactic to win elections, both parties do it, and it's pretty effective. Unlike actually unpopular government initiatives (like all that surveillance/big brother poo poo), they're doing it because a significant number of Australians are (surprise surprise!) garbage humans and this is how democracy works

Didn't you guys solve the problem by simply making it illegal to talk about the human rights abuses? That's creative problem solving right there.

Sorry to break it to you man, we're still a nation of bipartisan cooperation in paying Serco for torturing and killin' kids in camps

It was supposed to be a PR exchange where Obama saved some children refugees and Turnbull rid our camps of some kids while upholding iron borders. And... I guess it worked, despite falling to Trump's admin, if you got that impression out of it

I would quickly lose sight of it and it's fate would be unknown until I read about it in the news the next day. (i speak from experience. I got my daughter a tiny drone for Christmas a few years back. On its maiden flight we lost it in the sky and it was gone. The next day a guy drives into our cul de sac, he had found it on the sidewalk ¼ mile away or so and watched the video card to figure out where it came from. It was miraculously unharmed, despite taking quite a tumble to earth.)

About six years ago, a batch of knock-off Chinese drones hit Australia that hadn't been programmed to return to base properly. They had GPS in the drone and the control unit, and when they got low on battery, they were supposed to go back to base. Instead, they went Home. Home, in this case, was a factory in Shenzhen, so they just took off north as fast as their rotors would carry them.

Some people found them. Most didn't.

That would be a good business model if Home were a little less far away. In fact, I think there's a fairy tale along these lines (shady guy sells a horse/goat/whatever that always runs back to him).
