    Excellent piece from Peter Hartcher delineating the contradictions of the Manus standoffhttp://www.smh.com.au/comment/what-do-refugee-advocates-hope-to-achieve-on-manus-20171103-gzeeiu.html …

        @NickMcKim has sought a right of reply in SMH to set record straight. Very proud of his strong stand for decency.

        How come he didn't reference UNHCR? Seems like a piece that focused on bashing McKim.

        'false hope' is a flawed narrative that blames people for offering solidarity and excuses those who killed hope in the first place

        What about the reports that the centres are not ready to receive the refugees? Hartcher's rhetoric seems to b directly from Dutton's book.

        Not really, Bernard. It is Dutton spin. Noone wants to give false hope. Campaigning for human rights protects mainland Aussies too.

        Well for one thing the newer accommodation is not ready yet & it is not safe for refugees in community. This is just pro-govt propaganda

        The @SatPaper piece is a fairer account. Hartcher suggesting detainees have no agency & advocates are hypocrites is disingenuous at best

        Hartcher's premise is that LNP/ALP will not change: "There is simply no prospect that the federal government will reverse its policy. None."

        "No government, Coalition or Labor, will allow them to settle in Australia. There is no tidy solution." No solution. None.

        Not true that ill-treatment of Manus-Nauru people is the only way to prevent drownings.

        And even if it were, it's wrong to treat some people badly to deter others from taking undue risks.
