About Woomera - 52 min Documentary

See full film here: http://vodsite.journeyman.tv/store?p=3193&s=About+Woomera

June 2003
Australia's detention centre at Woomera was hailed as the new way of dealing with illegal immigration. This week's offering is the definitive story of the controversial camp. The compound gained notoriety for its riots, protests and breakouts and became a damning indictment of Australian immigration policy. And whilst detainees lived in atrocious conditions, the American backed company running the centre siphoned off millions in profits. It's a story of lies, cover-ups and relentless trauma.

bloody hell! If the Aussie Government don't want these people, then why not clear their cases and send them back, rather than torturing them in detention centre? OR let them into the country for god's sake!

@jacksonshakur Which makes you a racist too, pal. You state that Australians are a separate race, which is not true.

But you can say that Australia is a country filled with racists. Look at the Aboriginals, now the refugees. For fuck's sake, no one is illegal in any country anywhere in the world!

@travelingautomobile Glad to see you learnt the evils of racism you creep. We aren't all devil worshippers, most of us don't worship any of your phony religions. Why not stick to the awesome psych music on your channel, rather than writing racist shit? By the way, if they were NAZIS, YOU'D BE FUCKING DEAD!
