Government’s Dismissal Of HREOC’s Report Child Neglect

The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission has recommended that all children in immigration detention centres be released as soon as possible. And leaked details of the commission’s final draft report say Australia’s detention laws should be changed urgently, to comply with the international Convention on the Rights of the Child, with minimum standards of treatment enshrined in legislation. It will come as no surprise that John Howard and his simpering minions have dismissed the report, the Greens have slammed the government’s dismissal as bloody-minded and deliberated child neglect
