Referring to Australia's offshore immigration detention facilities as "concentration camps" in this context is incredibly misleading. There is absolutely no fair comparison to be made between Australia's detention of illegal immigrants in these facilities and China's human rights abuses. Regardless of your views on the human rights implications of Australia's mandatory detention policies, labelling them as such is dishonest.
