| Subject: Locked in OZschwitz limbo: forgotten asylum seeker babies Sat Dec 13, 2014 5:37 pm | |
| They are the forgotten babies – born in Australia, but ignored in the deal done to release asylum seekers into the community.
Instead, they are sentenced to indefinite limbo in a camp overseas.
As government ministers Scott Morrison and George Brandis last week trumpeted that all asylum seeker children who arrived by boat and had been held on Christmas Island would be moved to the mainland by early next year, 25 infants remained in detention centres across the country with no hope of being released. Five are held in Broadmeadows in Melbourne's north-west.
