    I sit and watch Immigration department officials at Estimates and I can only think of the banality of evil. And how banal they are.

        They're all Customs, AFP & Defence folks now, subsumed into Border Force with IMMI an afterthought.

        My grandfather was an Immi Official in Europe in 60s and 70s. Before he died he said Aus had sold its soul on immigration for faux security

        Pezzullo's recent speech was the most disturbing I have ever heard given in Australia. Pure, opaquely-worded, fascism.

        I am loathe to use the word evil to describe the LNP and their lackeys but it is the only word that fits.

        There is no genuine accountability for this banality, however.

        They don't seem to even know that there are human rights, rule of law and transparency principles that they should pretend to comply with.

        Reminds me of apartheid. Humorless, cold, unwavering defending the indefensible. Scary.

        Definitely Pezzullo is an Eichmann but Dutton is really an errand boy, more of a Heydrich.

        The Immigration Department should be staffed by Aboriginals.

        What about their masters sitting opposite asking questions. They are all responsible. These trumped up little Hitlers are just the symptom.

        Physically repulsed watching today; definitely reminded of dehumanisation of other groups (16th Cent African slaves, Jews in WW2). Shameful.
