1. I am wondering whether we have had a published report on how the refugees fared in Nauru both physically and psychologically, and on the real costs both in dollar and in human terms.
   I also wonder whether it is fair to punish the asylum seekers to get at the people smugglers, is this the real argument for offshore processing?
   Is it possible to depoliticize this issue, have an independent think tank to plan with a clear mind and a compassionate attitude for a way for Australia to deal with human misery?
