I heard something else the government was saying about "Asylum Seekers". It's always around and rarely am I motivated to write anything - but why do even the intelligent media fall for it every time? It's called scapegoating, or diverting attention. It seems like the easiest thing in the world to divert attention away from government blunders, manipulations and possible illegalities by turning attention to a group who have no voice and who are already despised. Me, I come from a long line of Asylum Seekers, or Refugees or Displaced Persons... and me, my grandparents or great great grandparents aren't anything like the media say we are. Nor is anyone I know who has been classed a "refugee" - what a surprise...
