I personally think it is actually a rather great reputation. The Australian government has made a commitment to the rule of their popular immigration laws. I wish our government would do the same. I think we should just start deporting all these illegals to Guantanamo Bay. We should not lock them up though. Just kick them off the boat and let them fend for themselves.
It is plain to me that Fred is using "horrible" with irony in the suage. IMHO he (and I as well) agree that the detention policy is sensible.
Horribly good, I should say!
