One would have hoped the recent High Court decision deeming offshore processing in breach of Australian laws would be the perfect opportunity for Gillard's Labor to revert to a humane, less expensive, and less offensive policy regarding the issue of people fleeing wretched lives and seeking a new start in Australia.

But no. It looks like the 'shock-jock' view of Australia (fully embraced by the Liberal Party) has won the day. That this country has learnt nothing from the miserable Howard years is depressing. On a global scale our 'problem' is miniscule.

Let's process them here and be done with it.

Enough of the Xenophobia.
