I guess the actions of DIBP in denying him legal process and sneaking him to Sydney in the middle of the night give an answer to my question from yesterday. The 'nowhere' state that the detainees in Manus Island find themselves seems to now extend to people like Saeed on the Australian mainland.

Is this the best you can do for Australia, Prime Minister, to show our fear and our weakness by punishing people who mistakenly put their trust in Australia's imagined qualities of fairness and opportunity?
