Nothing has changed.’‘The Nadesalingam family’s return to Biloela should be celebrated, but it should not be confused with fundamental change.

This paradox is a primary part of white saviour culture – a culture that is integral to the continuation of Australia’s immigration policy. The public feel they have saved lives, have righted an aberrant wrong, and can now return to everyday life having done a good job.

Since Labor took office they continue to enact the endless detention, amounting to systematic torture, of the past nine years.
