Sad to feel that we are so poor of spirit that we would begrudge these wretched souls behind our razor wire the comfort of a phone call to loved ones. Surely one of the advantages of a few international calls from the refugees in detention is that they are sending the message home - don't come, all they do is lock us up for years, now they're planning to send us to Malaysia!

No one pays for my calls except me. They had money to pay illegall people smugglers to come here as illegals, so stop this joke with our money. Stop their free calls, one only when they break our laws and sneak through our borders, and no more. They are not invited and not wanted.

Thought you intended to get a bit tougher on the refugees Gillard. If you get any more tougher you will be sending Tim in each day to cut their hair. Get the phone cards off them, boot the lawyers out of there, visit on Tuesday ,Thursday only max 4 hours, build an Airport next to the complex and if they fail security checks load em up and fly them out, no appeals.

What?....They don't have internet access? You're not serious!! Why not use the many free methods of contact.....like skype. And yes,I agree with Helen.....We can't afford these guys (and women) a miserly phone call every now and then.....unbelievable. Phone companies should charge them nothing!! Show some compassion idiots!

If it is News Limited papers reporting this then we know it is reliable news since the Murdochs sure know a lot about phones. Australia must be part to a global solution to refugees. If our refugees were integrated in our society since their arrival the cost for taxpayers would be less. But if we detain them and do not let them look for jobs etc, then of course we need to pay shelter, medical bills, food, phone calls, etc.
