This morning, I had a breakfast with a young man who asked me where I was from. We had a little chat.
He is a Sri Lankan Tamil. His protection visa application was refused and was finally determined by the High Court. So he is in trouble. I asked him whether he could go back to Sri Lanka and he said 'No' immediately with a scared look. He is a genuine (rejected) asylum seeker I rarely see here now.
He has a lawyer who is doing something for him. I could not understand his English so I do not know whether he is applying for a Ministerial intervention or something else. But his lawyer is doing something so he should be fine, for the moment.
He is a lovely young fellow in that when he stood and went to get a cup of tea, he brought a cup of water together back to the table for me voluntarily. Asylum seeker men usually act like that. I met many in 2006. Since then, every time I saw on TV a Government advertisement 'Stop Violence Against Women' or the Ministers talking about the migrants' or refugees' assimilation, I feel like asking to a question to the Ministers. Are you sure you want those men to start acting like Australian men? (Sorry, my friends, I am talking about a problem of the society in general, not about an individual.)
After the breakfast, I went to the computer room and checked a Senator's page on the Parliament site. Here is one of the URLs of the pages I saw.
https://www.aph.gov.au/
I clicked the Connect tab on the page and clicked the link of 'Personal website'. Then I got this message!

What's wrong with accessing or displaying the Senator's personal website? Actually, it was not only this Senator's page but all other Senators' personal pages were blocked. I can't find in the terms and conditions of the Internet use in detention any reason why I was not allowed to access these pages. I am sure these Senators' sites do not promote the commission of an offence, are not relating to weapons or match-making and do not include child
pornography. Then why blocked???
