Update:
The 'enlightened' online readers of our local Murdoch media responses to a suggestion of a facility to be built on Yarrabah community land near Cairns:

"We shouldnt be looking at any options with the illegal immigrants, they should be sent back to where they came from. We cant get on a boat and enter their country, demand food and shelter, we would be shot, I think we need to adopt the same attitude. We have enough unemployment and homeless people here for us to look after with out their burden."

No, we aren't quite all narrow minded rednecks up here:

"Congratulations Yarrabah. It would work for both the community and the refugees. Best news I have heard about this issue. Go, Go, Go. In WA the Refugees and the residents in the town of Leonora are loving the interaction. It also worked in the NSW town of Young. Stick to your guns, what a morale boost for you all."
