'My mother once told me - before my sister died or after? I can't remember - that she believed in ghosts. She believed in ghosts, she said, because when a person dies the energy that animated their body has to go somewhere, and it can't disperse like the ashes do when you throw them to the wind, it can't break up and redistribute itself among the blades of grass, the yellow flecks of acacia wattle sneaking hayfever into eyes and noses, no: it goes bigger, it goes into the earth, the rocks, the rivers.'

Allegedly a deterrent to people smugglers and an effort to stop people drowning at sea, the proposal is the product of a policy that attempts to shift the meaning of words in order to violate human rights and international law, gag information, and dehumanise victims.' (Editorial Introduction (Brady-Brown, Annabel and Dzunko, Zoe Lifted Brow, The, No. 33,(3))
