When we have only 151 boat arrivals in the past 5 years, what are they doing? Electric fences, cameras in every room and motion detectors to name but a few of the barbaric trappings of this place! What an appalling disgrace, so much for a new era and culture for DIMA and the Howard Government when it comes to asylum seekers! http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/detention-camp-has-it-all-but-no-people/2006/11/16/1163266639951.html
