Demonising Boat Refugees, Has Consequences
Nov 19^th, 2016 at 9:25am

The man suspected of setting fire to a Melbourne bank, leaving 27 people injured, is believed to be an asylum seeker who came to Australia by boat.

Federal government sources say the 21-year-old Springvale man is an asylum seeker from Myanmar living in the community on a bridging visa. It's understood he arrived in 2012 or 2013 and spent time in the Christmas Island detention centre.

Detention centres are factories for mental illness

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-11-18/tatz-ryan-detention-centres/3677942

Detained asylum seekers have higher rates of depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms than those living in the community. There is evidence regarding the length of detention and prior exposure to interpersonal trauma on rates of depression.

This is why so many of Australia's mental health and health organisations have united in demanding the Federal Government immediately launch an independent investigation into the standards of mental health care in our detention centres.

This group of organisations includes: The Australian College of Mental Health Nurses, the Australian Nursing Federation (ANF), Australian Medical Association (AMA), Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP), Mental Health Council of Australia (MHCA), Brain & Mind Research Institute, Orygen Young Health, National Mental Health Consumer & Carer Forum (NMHCCF), Australian Psychological Society (APS), SANE Australia, Professor Louise Newman, Royal College of Nursing Australia, Lifeline Australia, Australian College of Psychological Medicine, Mental Health Research Institute, Catholic Social Services Australia, The Mental Health Association of Central Australia, Alcohol and Other Drugs Council of Australia, Australian Association of Social Workers, The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and Suicide Prevention Australia.

They can go home any time they want if they are feeling stressed.

If people are in destress, we assist.
Isn't this a tenant of a so called christian country?

And if you are worried about carbon footprints, then support a 100% Renewable Energy Target so we can stop being one of the biggest polluters on the planet. (per capita)

Dangerous Climate Change and a Collapsing Food Chain will cause mass movements of people across national borders.

"Distress". Financial distress maybe.

Assist them in their own countries and regions. No need to bring them to the west. Assist them in building proper countries for themselves rather than make their hellholes ever-worse.

It's bloody time that third worlders made a go of organising themselves into properly run communities rather than always looking for ways to shaft, exploit, oppress and kill each other.

They have had independence for decades.

I will wait for the verdict from a professional. Rather than an online poster, with an agenda.

All these 'lone wolves' add up to a very clear pattern.

Years have passed with the coalition and labor racing to the bottom over vulnerable people. Meanwhile what advances has Australia made in negotiating a regional solution with our neighbours?
