The Australian makes an uncomfortable juxtaposition

The front page of today's Australian leaks the East Timorese report into the Indonesian occupation (180,000 killed it says), and then it's photo feature is about West Paupuan asylum seekers landing in far north Queensland. Of course the politicians are already declining to say what will happen to the 40 or so boat people... but the clear implication of the Newscorp editors is that we could be looking at 180,040 if they get sent home.
