It is becoming increasingly difficult in Australia to avoid being arrested by Immigration officials. The latest documented case, the arrest of two children at school followed by four months of incarceration without just cause, is yet another example of a Kafkaesque bureaucracy gone mad. The Immigration Minister's justification that the children should have been locked up in order to keep the family together, is the subversion of logic and good taste. Is this the civilisation and way of life our government wants to protect from the terrorists?
