Can we all put it out there to Aussies who aren't all that into politics, that Canadian Liberals are the diametric opposite to Liberals in Aus.

Theirs are inclusive, humble and strive for respect and compassion.

Australian Liberals are divisive, arrogant and seek to humiliate and hate.

Don't vote LNP.

Thinking back to the days when Peter Dutton kept trying to traumatize the Biloela family and fly them out of the country in the middle of the night... amongst other monstrous stuff.

He's looking at what ICE is doing in the USA right now, just grabbing students off the streets and disappearing them without access to courts or basic human rights.

And he's salivating at the prospect of giving that a crack.

Biloela family: Locked up by Australia for three years

10 May 2021

Kopika is a five-year-old girl who has been locked up by the Australian government for most of her childhood.

In 2019, her family was sent to a detention centre on Christmas Island, an Australian outpost in the Indian Ocean.

They live in a guarded compound under 24-hour watch - an operation that has cost more than A$6m (£3.3m; $4.6m) so far.

Kopi, as she's known to her friends, is allowed to go to school on the island. She's taken there in a police van.

School is her "happy place", where she's free from her minders.

"Why are we always followed?" she's asked before.

Kopi is in this situation because her parents, Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka, arrived by boat in Australia nearly a decade ago seeking asylum.

They settled in a country town in Queensland, and lived there for years, until police arrived to deport them.

Their community fought for them to stay, kicking off a legal battle that has dragged through the nation's top courts. Through it all the family have remained in detention.

"You can't imagine this life," Kopika's mother Priya, told the BBC.

"It's not a normal thing. We can't talk to people, we have guards watch us, we can't go out by ourselves. It's not a detention, it's a jail."

The 'Biloela family'
The Murugappans are a family of four: mother Priya, father Nades, Kopi, and her three-year-old sister Tharnicaa.

They are Australia's most famous asylum seekers, but they're barely known by their family name.

Instead they're "the Biloela family" - named after the small town where they lived for four years.

Nades and Priya arrived in Australia on separate journeys in 2012 and 2013 and lodged claims for asylum. The government granted them temporary protection visas.

Both moved to Biloela, which had a meatworks known to employ new migrants including Tamil asylum seekers.

That's where they met. They fell in love, got married, and had two kids.

Id recommend Australians listen to this podcast. It reveals how deeply, disturbingly and frighteningly we are enmeshed with USA
https://open.spotify.com/episode/7clLu0ghMJgTM1oKqs8SDC?si=uF9zmYKRTiKYa5HNo6ALDA
(Episode 3 is also interesting about AUKUS)

Its from Malcolm Turnbull (who is probably the only Lib politician I would considering listening to). Our defence programme is dangerously flawed bc we are totally beholden to USA.
