Regional Processing Centres:
The Australian Regional Processing Centres (RPCs)are
located on the Republic of Nauru and are part of the “stop
the boat” policy. Operation Sovereign Borders ensure to
turn back all illegal immigrants coming by boats to
Australia. While their asylum applications were being
worked through, all illegal arrivals were to be transferred to
one of these centres. After signing an agreement under
panic, Bashir takes a flight to Nauru. (p. 79 l.20). The
islands of Nauru are 50 degrees hot. The atmosphere in
the camp is frightening. (p.11 l. 2).
People in the camps suffer from thirst, hunger, sickness
(p.11 l. 3). Bahir describes Nauru as having no time.
“Each day lasts a year and each night lasts an eternity” (p.
13 l.20). RPC2, also known as the bravo camp, it is a
camp for adult men. Thirty men live in a tent together.
Immigrants are given fans to cool down the tents, but
during the day the electricity often stops (p. 14 l. 1). There
are many dangerous animals on the Islands, including
scorpions and crabs which come to tents at night. There
are lizards, spiders, cockroaches, mice, rats and
mosquitoes (p. 17 l. 5-6). The conditions at these centres
are horrible. Some days there are no water, no drinking
water nor water for personal hygiene. When there are
showers, it was limited to 1 minute. The water, trickling out
of the shower is not enough to wash oneself. “People grow
weak. The places get dirtier. The toilets smell. The tents
are covered in mould. No one can be healthy here.” (p.23
l. 7-9). The places to live aren’t proper tents. There are
holes in the roof and when it rains the water gets inside.
People are dull and lifeless. They sit around all day waiting
for sickness to come. There are three parts of this camp.
RPC 1 is where the people who work there live. RPC 2 are
for adult men who came on their own and RPC 3 is for
families and minors. The security personnel are Australian
(p. 24 l.3). They call immigrants by their ID number instead
of their names.
