    According to Essential Report today, 23% of voters still think the government is too soft on asylum seekers. And many are Labor voters.

        @sarahdaviscc Because as long as they compete with the coalition on that they are reinforcing the popular view of asylum seekers as a threat

        @BookWombat I agree. And I think it's probably helpful that people vote Green to provide a strong voice for the alternative.

        @BernardKeane Interesting; 23% matches my own (less official) study of how many Aussies are xenophobic.

        @BernardKeane Surely there is another way - regional refugee partnerships and processing that does not involve indefinite incarceration?
