The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, has asked the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, the following question this afternoon in Federal Parliament.
“Madam Speaker my question is to the Prime Minister.
“Prime Minister, currently there are 315 children in prison-like facilities on Christmas Island, some for almost a year.
“According to the President of the Human Rights Commission, conditions are so bad these kids have stopped talking and refer to themselves by number, rather than by name.
“Prime Minister when will this stop?
“When will Australian governments stop being responsible for such abuse of children?’’
