There's a huge new migrant issue unfolding. So why isn't there any real debate about THIS one?

It is huge , of course folk want to say what they really feel , sadly they can't without being judged and abused ..

For me an off shore processing facility that utilised their skills in work to avoid pressure's on the economy.. would fit..

Just to be clear, have you been holding back on what you really feel on matters of race and immigration?

WTF? You were doing so well with your stance on Qatar that I felt it warranted positive feedback.

Unfortunately the use of the term 'off shore processing facility' is cold and invokes images of cattle trucks in black & white documentary footage from the 1940s.

Being judged is part of life. Nobody is being abused. Heated discussion relating to such contentious subjects is understandable. I welcome this, even if it's painful.

It's what they've been doing in Australia, so you don't need to invoke images from the 1940's. In some Asian countries asylum seekers have been waiting over 10 years to be processed, living from day to day without a pot to piss in.

An 'offshore processing facility' as opposed to 'being processed'. Neither sound great but I'm still gonna invoke those 1940s images for the former.

Yup. That's definitely a concentration camp alright. Sure, it's contemporary architecture, but no disguising it's purpose. The conditions seem pretty atrocious too according to that article.

You'll never get me to accept the term offshore processing facility as humanitarian. It's a concentration camp.

I am struggling to work out what your point is. Australia's policy of offshore internment has been an expensive disaster from start to finish.
