The hypocrisy of the general Australian response to the separation of families at the U.S. border blows my mind. Yes, the policy of locking children in cages away from their parents is appalling, but the difference is that public outrage in the States became so overwhelming that even the Orange one ended up bowing to pressure and announcing the end of this horrendous strategy.
