Oz mysteries..

who bombed the Hilton in 1978? "Conspiracy", the documentary by
Daryl Dellora, lists evidence of involvement by Australian security forces. NSW attorney general Frank Walker told the press in 1980 that he had been told by a disaffected CSIRO scientist that ASIO had asked CSIRO to build the Hilton bomb.

The asylum seeker boat known as SIEV-X sank in October 2001. 353
passengers drowned at sea. If the Government knew of the imminent sinking of the asylum seeker boat SIEV-X and did not take steps to rescue the survivors, it could quite reasonably be held responsible for the deaths of 353 people.

The mystery of the disappearance, and certain death, of Juanita Nielsen of Kings Cross in 1975 remains unsolved despite the publication of a new account of the circumstances. Was Nielsen the first victim of urban developers (have there been any others?), of local thugs working for developers who exceeded their brief, or of anyone else? Did the police and the National Crime Authority have any culpability?

why did the Australian government build a refugee camp at Woomera in the Australian desert? Woomera was built out in the desert, five hours from the nearest city and at the end of a closed road. In summer, temperatures often passed 50 degrees Centigrade. PHILLIP RUDDOCK, MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION: We will be briefing people when they come in here on the nature of the facility, the environment in which it's been placed. It's not a holiday camp, nor should it be seen as one.

Within weeks, the centre, set up for 400 people, was overwhelmed by nearly 1,000. Many of the refugees came with lice, scabies, and they were dehydrated. They did have diseases, such as malaria and things like that, and they were quite sick. So, in this 48-hour process, they were collapsing and fainting and vomiting and all that sort of stuff. Over 1,500 people living in that compound, with, you know, maybe two washing machines or three washing machines and five toilets.

So we had several people that would self-harm with cigarette burns, glass. They'd break glass and threaten to slash themselves. Swallow disinfectant, insect repellant, shampoo. In the end, 80% of those detained there were found to be genuine refugees and given temporary visas.
