26/04/2006: "WELCOME to Australia?"
FLASHBACK. Not all new arrivals in Australia have it easy. This was the detention centre at Port Hedland in the north west of Australian that has since been moth-balled.
I think these were boat people from Vietnam, there was a protest going on at the time. A couple of people were on a roof in the boiling sun refusing to come down. Conditions at the other detention centre Woomera would have been almost as bad as being on the moon. Children are no longer kept in these conditions, fortunately.
