"Politicians have long profited politically off this trail of human misery. But perhaps only a royal commission can get to the bottom of where the money has gone, and to measure the true cost of the system we all enabled."

‘Home Truths.’
Billions were made from human suffering in offshore detention under cover of secrecy & without full knowledge of Australians.
A full inquiry is required to understand where the money went, to whom & what the real human impacts were. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

The judgment is a massive blow for all involved but does acknowledge the deep harm of #HotelDetention
“I can only wonder of the lack of care and humanity, in detaining a person with psychiatric and psychological problems in the hotels [for] 14 months"
