eek, it's a petition

Now, I'm normally pretty sceptical about how much notice our government is likely to take of petitions on issues of asylum seekers and detention camps, expecting them to dismiss the signatories out of hand as left-wing rabble whose votes aren't up for grabs anyway (in much the same way as letters on the issue are dismissed with a contemptuous 'we notice you have written to the Minister on such matters before').

But when a petition's authorship is attributed to the Rt Hon Malcolm Fraser, well, maybe this one could carry a bit of weight.
