I've been listening to the debates in the Australian Senate on immigration and mandatory detention of refugees.
Conservative politicians in Australia say that every nation state has an unrestricted right to determine whom it shall admit within its borders.
They do not say anything about the duty of the state to admit refugees; or rather not to send them back to the countries from which they have fled to face terror, imprisonment or death.

But I didn't see a "contact" or "about me" section, or an e-mail for feedback...
