Tampa

I know this is 'ancient history', but I am still disgusted by the whole Tampa affair. From what I read in David Marr and Marian Wilkinson's excellent book Dark Victory, Australia broke a bunch of international laws of the sea. Even ignoring that, we subjected not only the refugees, but the crew of the Tampa to an appalling ordeal. Zero score for humanity.
