Amanda Vanstone reveals she's from another planet, saying in response to 9/11:

"You'd have to be from another planet, not to say to yourself, 'gee, if I were a terrorist, and I wanted to get a terrorist to Australia, well, I'd pile them up on a boat full of genuine asylum seekers."

Exactly none of the 9/11 terrorists were asylum seekers. They all arrived on visas.

But Vanstone and the Liberal-National government substitution stereotypes and racism for rational policy. Terrorists are Islamic; Islamists are brown Middle Eastern types; brown people are asylum seekers; asylum seekers are terrorists. Therefore, the right response is to imprison all asylum seekers, leading to the LNP response.

The sickness and stupidity of rightwing LNP thinking is there for all to see. Always was.
