I also don't think the UN convention on refugees says they can riot, burn, destroy and break out of the accomodation provided because they get impatient.
I never said it did. I just don't like all Refugees being tarred with the same brush, of being some kind of queue jumping free loaders. I'm an immigrant I had to queue, but that is because I wasn't in danger in my homeland and I could afford to pay the associated fees. Thats fair.
If some at the detention centre have broken the law they should be charged and delt with in the correct manner. You do realised that some of these people have been locked up for over a year?

1st point, if we had to flee from persecution here at some time, how would we be treated if we lobbed in their country? there is no way you would be extended the courtesy Oz provides. the old saying applies, "don't bite the hand that feeds you"
I sure you wouldn't be extended the courtesy Oz provides. But surely that is the point?
