A black day for New Zealand

The immigration department has deported that 16-year-old Sri Lankan girl back home to be raped and abused by her family.

We should all be ashamed of this. If the concept of granting sanctuary to refugees and those in need means anything, it means protecting them from that.

But no doubt someone will step up and say that if we'd let her stay, girls would have been getting themselves raped in order to "jump the queue".
