I wept last night...though saying that none of the footage surprised me because we have to know on some level that this is why these people get on rickety old boats and cross the ocean risking their lives. How can we not know that this is their desperate plight??? Too many people in this country do not care or just don't want to know about it. Every australian needs to watch it. It is unfortunately that they can't take footage in the detention centres....that would be a real wake up call.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654995193578848394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435525396415770169.post-53071881407189256242011-06-23T13:32:39.171+10:002011-06-23T13:32:39.171+10:00I've somehow missed the show but I'm going...I've somehow missed the show but I'm going to catch up with it online.
