Sir, - ┴ine N∅ Chonaill of the Immigration Control Platform contends that "Howard and the Australian public are correct in their stance" of rejecting refugees seeking asylum (many fleeing the regime of current public demon number one, the Taliban).
Should we all, therefore, start making up the spare bed for the return of our distant cousins when the Aboriginal peoples of Australia send our illegal relatives back to their countries of origin?
And if Ms N∅ Chonaill is going to accuse Paula Kehoe of being patronising (November 23rd), perhaps she might dampen her inclination to claim to speak for "the rest of us".
For penance I suggest she reflect on the irony of her initials. - Yours, etc.,
Damien Flinter, Clifden Refugee Support Group, Church Hill, Clifden, Co Galway.
