The continual violence left many guards (62) with PTSD, with heaps of suicide attempts among them later. Watching the detainees sew their lips up with wire, watching the children hang themselves, the old men who dug their own graves a thousand miles from anywhere in the desert, all this and much more had a profoundly damaging effect on those poor bastards who were paid to enforce the government policy via (of course) a private contractor who bears the liability for their distress, rather than the government.
Thank you, John Howard.
That was your election victory.
That was what you made of Australia.
