Australia ups capacity to handle boatpeople

01.11.09

SYDNEY — Australia said Sunday it would increase the number of beds at its main immigration centre to cope with an influx of boatpeople, amid concerns about growing numbers of asylum seekers from Sri Lanka.

The Christmas Island facility, where all boatpeople are taken to be assessed and detained by Australian authorities, can currently accommodate about 1,400 people but has strained to cope with recent arrivals.

A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Evans said extra accommodation would be installed at the remote Indian Ocean island off northwest Australia before the end of the year.

"It will probably increase it to about 2,000, 2,200," he told AFP.

Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said expanding the Christmas Island centre was the most effective way of dealing with increased numbers of asylum seekers.

"We certainly worry that we will see a continuation of an influx of boats," he told Channel Nine television.

"We know that with additional conflict in our region, particularly Sri Lanka, but also heightened conflict in Afghanistan, that the push factors to send displaced people our way are there."

Risky Regencies: Christmas In November!

by Amanda McCabe

I loved looking Elizabethan Christmas traditions, because it seemed like such a fun time! They really knew how to party, the Tudors. We could have Christmas decorations in stores on Halloween, but they celebrated the 12 days of Christmas, Christmas Eve on December 24 in the twelfth Day January 6, and each day was filled with feasts, dances, plays, the fox hunting, gift-giving, and general stupidity. Many of the trappings of the holiday, we certainly recognize our own deck-the-hallsing.Everything was still green has been used in large quantities, such as holly, ivy, yew and bay (hence the rhyme "holly and the ivy, boxwood and laurel, to the house for Christmas!" ). The wreaths and garlands will be linked with ribbons and hung around the house with the Yule log Kicking things off on Christmas Eve. The men of the house would trek into the forest to find the largest newspaper possible and will be paraded in the great hall, decorated with garlands and ribbons. A few newspaper last year has been saved in the light of the new, and it was a tradition to sit around the fire and tell stories of Christmases past that night. We would also like to acknowledge the food! (But perhaps not all - how many of us roast peacock, restated in its skin and feathers, our host tables?) Roasted meats were great, of course - pork, beef, chicken and the boar's head to the song, with cooked vegetables and spices and fresh Manchet white bread. Queen Elizabeth, unlike his father, has been a light eater, but she does love sweets, which were prominently displayed on her Christmas table.Candied flowers, hard candy in a thick syrup called suckets (eaten with spoons sucket Special), Portuguese figs, oranges Spanish valuable fruit pies, gingerbread and the famous figgy pudding....
