#2 Its a bit more complex - some of these are issues from the families due to the fathers being put in one detention center, the mothers and children in antoher - hundreds of miles apart. And these are Chinese, Pacific Islanders, even an Iranian who are asking to be allowed to stay. Complicating things further, some of the children are legally Australian citizens. The seperations and resuling anger are simply the results of the typical big-statist government bureaucracy - the kindthat tend to blindly follow rules - but at random, and without regard to consequence or circumstance.

Its a big mess, and its due to lax enforcement of immigration laws.

Of course, the protester organizers could give a rats ass - they are there mainly to make political hay against the Howard government, and to try to provoke a reaction so there's even more political crap they can fling against Howard.
