The Coalition’s response to the situation in India is horrifying (“Fines and jail for those who flout India ban”, May 1-2). There is another possible response that is humane and just: get them home as soon as possible. What does it say about the government’s confidence in our quarantine systems when citizens in this dire situation are locked out? Maybe Morrison should take Jenny’s advice and imagine his own family in the same boat.

Can I suggest to our Prime Minister that for all his outrage over Christine Holgate’s spend, $20,000 is just a drop in the ocean when compared to his governments misuse of taxpayers’ money (“Government hits back at Holgate’s claims over exit”, April 15)? Where does one start: the Christmas Island reopening photo opportunity; the $50 million spent on keeping the Murugappan family incarcerated on said island; the sports rorts scandal; the robodebts repayments; the community grants program; the repeated inquiries, investigations and finally a royal commission into age care; and the multiple positions on climate change?

Now that Scott Morrison has put on his father cap, could he extend compassion to the Sri Lankan family incarcerated on Christmas Island (“Plea to free family stuck in visa limbo”, February 17) and allow them to return to their life in Biloela?
Rhonda Seymour, Castle Hill
Following the Federal Court’s positive ruling in favour of the Tamil family’s visa application, it was distressing to read that the government is still not legally obliged to release the family from detention on Christmas Island. Unsurprisingly, the Home Affairs Department trotted out the usual weasel words: “At no time has any member of the family been found to be owed protection.” Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do. Spot the difference, Mr Dutton.
