Newspaper article -
This is a news article by Eryk Bagshaw of the Sydney Morning Herald about
the sexual assault allegation of an Iranian asylum seeker at the Australian
detention centre on the Pacific Island. Within the article, what is made to
seem normal is the denial from the detention centre and Nauran police force
regarding allegations of sexual assault, as these kind of allegations have been
occurring for many years. On the other hand, the sexual assault of asylum seekers
is made to seem out of the ordinary. The article contains implied values,
including that justice for the abused, if the allegations are true, would be
the right outcome. This situation may also be described with proper
investigation needing to be completed as this isn’t the first report of sexual
abuse, and probably won’t be the last. Within this article, the police have
agency and the Iranian asylum seeker involved is victimised.
