Whatever the reason, xenophobic or political, we may not know. :(dsnake1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724264906690080704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-89493205582682976922014-02-25T16:59:50.045+11:002014-02-25T16:59:50.045+11:00Even worse, Gabriella — he never reached Australia...Even worse, Gabriella — he never reached Australia. Asylum seekers are now processed offshore, in what seem to be terrible conditions, and will never be resettled in Australia. This is in an effort to stop them from coming.
