11:18 pm
you here. mark. you want to talk. once. i am or you might bring. the whole concept of indefinite detention is this idea that there is no progress. if you have a criminal in australia you say you've committed a crime your punishment is 2 years in jail. when you've got this 3 sentences prison and you can count down the days. for these men they didn't have them.
11:19 pm

11:22 pm
parents who. made sick as well nothing on the panther. and there's some very young babies in detention who are not feeding properly who are not going why failing to strive is a medical. so all of it is really harmful for children. but it's considered the process required to stop but. but you know. the use of both i.d.'s as names is rampant children will sign up works that they've drawn with their boat id children we'll.
11:23 pm
refer to their friends by their boat id. it's like they've forgotten their own names it's like the forgotten. who they were. that they're actually human beings that. you feel any guilt or the any good to about one of them been told in danger none whatsoever and they'll be the root 13 year old. male the most compassionate thing you can do is stop the bad we have to stop the bad. for some time that they were being persistent and we got actions of serious physical and sexual abuse of children and women cost right in there were. after a very long time this led to the government setting up an inquiry. which ultimately ended up with what's called the must report.
