The most radical arm in Australian politics (and the world) right now is the far right. And yet this is the analysis for the Greens.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.
