Ruddock Virus

I wish to issue a new virus warning. There is a new virus called the Ruddock Virus, otherwise known as the Australian Refugee Policy Virus. Its effects are to make politicians use words like "illegals" for people fleeing terror (state-sponsored or otherwise), and "detention centers" as solutions.

The recent rash of words like this from the erstwhile leader of Malaysia is an alarming sign of this infection.

To rid yourself of this virus, delete the responsible politicians at the next election.
