nah seperate incident...
heh
The Tampa was a norweigian cargo vessel, that picked up refugees from a sinking boat and brought em here...
the thing that was contentious apart from the 'concentration camps' was that our PM turned back the boat and said "'fraid not" .. called em 'queue jumpers' among other things...
refused to see them as legitimate refugees under the UN charter.
