How to know what investment property tax deductions you can claim
Tax time is almost upon us!
To maximise the amount of money you get back in your pocket come July 1, what exactly can you claim as an investor – and what claims could get you in trouble with the tax man?
What you can claim:
Mortgage interest
The biggest cost related to your investment property tax deductions is obviously your mortgage interest. This is claimable at tax time, but note that only the interest (not the principal) can be deducted.
Maintenance, repair, and service costs related to your income-producing property investment can be claimed, but these expenses should occur during the period that the property is being rented out to be eligible.
For instance, if you replace a broken cupboard in your rental property after you buy it, but before it is available for someone to rent, then the repair cost is likely not tax deductible.
Even travel and car expenses can be deducted from your taxes, as long as the sole purpose of the trip is for property inspection or maintenance. The ATO looks carefully as these types of claims, so be sure to check in with your accountant if you're unsure about the tax status of your travel expenses.
Other costs that may be allowable as investment property tax deductions are pest control, gardening and lawn mowing costs, and fees and commissions paid to property agents.
Long-term claims
There are also tax deductions that you can only claim over a number of years. Included in this are your borrowing expenses like establishment fees, title search fees, and broker fees. Sometimes, this can include mortgage and valuation fees.
Borrowing expenses of more than $100 can be claimed over five years or the term of the loan, whichever is less. If it totals less than $100, then you claim a full deduction within the same income year.
You may also claim tax deductions for depreciating assets – items that have declined in value over time. They should be acquired as part of your property purchase or subsequently bought for the property. Examples of these are furniture, television sets, and refrigerators. Calculating the depreciation deduction can be complex and tricky, so it is best to hire the services of a conveyancer to do the job for you.
Finally, you may also claim capital works expenditures on residential rental properties over a period of 25 to 40 years. It is important to make sure that capital works deductions do not exceed the total construction costs. Also, note that you cannot claim these deductions until the construction has been completed.

Two of The Most Successful Marketing Minds Working Hard For YOUR SUCCESS
The founders of Royalty Rewards® are fiercely committed to solving the problems that independent "Bricks and Mortar" business owners face. They know firsthand the pain that goes along with not enough customers and too much overhead. That's why they created Royalty Rewards®, to provide an EASY "ONE THING" turnkey solution that will automatically deliver a flood of customers to your door everyday … guaranteed.
Meet Rory Fatt
Rory Fatt is the creator of the Royalty Rewards® Turnkey Marketing Program. He has always been fascinated with what makes businesses successful. He got his degree in Marketing and went on to work with several multinational corporations becoming their leading food service sales person.
Eventually he decided to venture out on his own. Initially he struggled to figure out how to make what he had learned in University work in a small business. After hundreds of thousands of dollars in experimentation Rory eventually uncovered the secrets to direct response marketing in his own business, and sky-rocketed his sales and profits.
He soon discovered the principles he uncovered applied to all sorts of retail businesses as well. He also realized that while the systems he taught worked, it was difficult for business owners to find the time away from the daily operations their businesses required to implement the proven systems he had developed. So he invested several million dollars in creating Royalty Rewards®, a turnkey, automatic marketing program that followed all of the direct marketing principles he knows to work.
Meet Bill Glazer
Bill Glazer is the founder of Glazer-Kennedy Insider's Circle™ (one of the world's most successful information marketing companies), Professional Speaker, Marketing Consultant and Coach, and a much sought-after copywriter. After 30-years of 'in-the-trenches' work with his own hugely successful businesses he perfected his unusually effective advertising (i.e. Outrageous) combined with Direct Response marketing that routinely receives outstanding responses.
Bill and his "Outside The Box" Marketing Strategies have often been featured in the most prestigious Marketing Magazines in the world. Most recently, DM News, which is the newspaper of record for Direct Marketers, ran a feature story on Bill's Outrageous Marketing Strategies that are Outrageously Effective.
In 2000, the industry journal MR Magazine named Bill and his BGS Marketing System to the list of the 100 Top People, Places, and Things Impacting the Industry at the Millennium…the equivalent of being named to People or Time Magazine's list of the 100 most noteworthy or influential individuals.
Perhaps the shining jewel of Bill's accomplishments was his winning the prestigious RAC Award at the 2002 Retail Advertising Conference. This honor is equivalent in retail as the Oscars are to movies and the Emmys to television.
Today, clients pay Bill Glazer a minimum of $25,000 plus royalties to write advertising for them and they'll wait routinely 9-months for a $12,000.00 day of consulting.
In 2005, Rory Fatt partnered with Bill Glazer, the #1 most celebrated marketing advisor to the retail industry. Together, Rory & Bill have personally invested thousands of man-hours and $2.5 million dollars to dissect and thoroughly analyze each element of the loyalty program process and create a proven, auto pilot system so that all kinds of "Brick and Mortar" business owners can achieve dramatic sales & profits increases in their businesses.
Today, Royalty Rewards® is helping hundreds of businesses all across North America rapidly grow their sales, and profits.


text: Airway Management is no stranger to the treatment of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). In 1994, W. Keith Thornton, DDS, a third generation dentist from Dallas, Texas, started Airway Management with the development of the TAP™ (Thornton Adjustable Positioner™). Today, the TAP leads the field of Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) in both sales and clinical research for the treatment of Snoring, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS). Dr. Thornton holds more than fifty U.S. and foreign patents in the area of Oral Appliances and CPAP masks from which the TAP PAP™ Nasal Pillow Mask was born. The TAP PAP Nasal Pillow Mask eliminates all of the common problems associated with CPAP masks that often lead to the discontinuance of therapy. These problems are instability, leak, pressure drop and needless annoying marks on the nose and face. Being anchored to the upper teeth with a special ThermAcryl™ mouthpiece, the TAP PAP NPM is very stable. It will not move or leak and does not require headgear. The TAP PAP Nasal Pillow Mask performs so well that Airway Management offers a Compliance Guarantee Program that is the most comprehensive mask guarantee program in the industry. For CPAP naïve patients we stand by TAP PAP Nasal Pillow Mask through the initial 90 day period as set forth by Medicare in 2008. If the patient is not compliant in accordance with the Medicare Regulations for billing beyond month three, we will replace the mask to the suppliers inventory. For all CPAP patients we offer a 30 day customer satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason the patient does not like the TAP PAP Nasal Pillow Mask during the first 30 days of use we will replace the mask to the suppliers inventory.

Michael Owen was today named as stand–in England captain for tomorrow night's friendly against Paraguay at Anfield.
The Liverpool striker will fill in for England coach Sven–Goran Eriksson's regular skipper David Beckham.
The Manchester United midfielder broke a bone in his foot during last week's Champions League quarter–final second leg against Deportivo La Caruna.
Eriksson said Owen was "surprised" when told the news and added: "He was the best footballer in Europe last year and I think he's a very clean and popular one inside and outside England.
"It's up to him to show that he's also a leader and I think he is.
"Michael Owen will be captain for the game tomorrow and then we'll see when David Beckham is back. Hopefully it will be for one game, because that means that Beckham is back.
"If Beckham is not back for the World Cup, which could happen, then I will think about it and see what we're going to do, if it's Michael or someone else in the squad."
Eriksson revealed there had been no further injury worries and everyone in the squad would be taking part in training this afternoon.
He added that Paraguay's Italian coach Cesare Maldini had agreed to allow five or six substitutions in the game, and he would be contacting him today to see if more would be possible.
The England coach had been hoping to play his strongest team at some stage on Wednesday but added: "Unfortunately we have some important injuries but I think if you talk about Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell, Rio Ferdinand and Emile Heskey, they are short–term and will be back very soon.
"It's not perfect to not be able in March or April to play your best team but I look forward to the game tomorrow and even more going to Dubai and starting the real preparation with the team and the squad and we can focus on the World Cup.
"We have already been unlucky so I hope we will avoid any more injuries. The players are tired and many clubs have important games to play, they are still fighting for something so that means tough games and a lot of stress."
Owen, who was 22 in December last year, is not the youngest–ever England captain, with the legendary Bobby Moore taking that honour as a slightly younger 22–year–old.
Eriksson called Owen "fresh and talented" and added: "I like those two words and I think that should be something for England in the future.
"It's enough that you see the face of Michael Owen and you see that it's clean, a happy young boy, excellent football player, so why not try to be the captain if it's for once or for many times, I don't know.
"I think the future is important, we have a young squad, a lot of young talented football players so you have to see the game against Paraguay and for the World Cup but you have to see the future as well.
"I think the target for the FA has always been to try to win an important tournament before 2006, so you have to think about that as well."
Asked about the prospects of Blackburn striker Matt Jansen, Eriksson added: "He has a chance of course and he will play probably 45 minutes.
"Anyhow I think he's a player for the future, he's very talented, I like him as a player and I wanted to see him and of course he might be picked and might not, I don't know that today.
"I think if you want to give him a chance you should play him as a striker, he's more used to playing as a striker and not a midfielder.
"It's more important that we play good football. I'm not afraid of the result if we don't win the game and so on. We're not going to lose the spirit whatever the result tomorrow."
Regarding David Beckham's injury Eriksson added: "You have to wait until he makes the next x–ray to see how the bone is healing or not. I know the staff at Manchester United are very very good and they are doing everything to make him fit."Reuse content


text: SummaryAs an initial matter, I believe that teachers should try and teach the "whole child." Gonzalez-Mena (5) suggests treating the child in a holistic manner rather than focusing disproportionately on specific learning outcomes. Each child is complex. Teachers should strive to identify and respect the totality of physical, emotional, and cultural characteristics of each child.

The Charlestown Militia Company
P.O. Box 290483
Charlestown, MA 02129
Controversy exists over some of the flags used by the Charlestown Militia. The red flag with the white canton and green tree is said to be the Provincial Flag without the cross in the upper left corner. This is said to have been removed as an act of rebellion against England - something which greatly annoyed the King's representatives in the Colony. This is the flag seen in the famous painting by Trumbell called "The Battle of Bunker Hill".
The blue flag is said by some to have been a mistake in coloring which occurred perhaps as long as two hundred years ago. Nonetheless, the flag has - over time - become synonymous with Bunker Hill and is now seen prominently displayed at the Bunker Hill Monument and by Charlestown area merchants.
Finally we show the Grand Union Flag which was raised by George Washington at Cambridge Massachusetts on the 1st of January, 1776. Colonel Thomas Gardner died of wounds received at the Battle of Bunker Hill and would, of course, never have seen this flag. His troops however, serving under General Nathanael Greene would certainly have been familiar with this "First Flag".

Winner of two Tony® Awards, Green Day's American Idiot, based on and including every song from the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, as well as several songs from follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown, boldly takes the American musical where it's never gone before. Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Michael is called back home to attend familial responsibilities, and Johnny's attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled, high-octane rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day's groundbreaking album to execute the story line.

Straight from Tasty Kitchen.
3 cups organic, unbleached flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup hot water
Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder with a whisk. Add the canola oil and mix with your fingers until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add 1 cup of hot water and mix until a ball is formed. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 balls and roll out one at a time on a floured surface. Brush off excess flour. Cook on a hot, ungreased griddle over medium-high heat. Turn the tortilla when brown blisters form on the first side.
Serve warm and enjoy!

An express warranty is a written guarantee given by a manufacturer of products regarding the quality of their items at the time of sale. This can also state the period of time the company can assure the quality and performance of the item. It also specifies the conditions in which they will accept a return, exchange or repair of the product within a certain timeframe.
Normally, an express warranty is stated in a written document attached to the product. It is a way of assuring customers that the product they're buying is of top quality and free from defects. However, it is not just limited to products because businesses that provide services can also provide such warranty to their clients. As an example, a computer retail shop can guarantee that it will repair computer parts within a period of 60 days after purchase of the item.
Express warranties can also be in oral form. However, experts recommend to have the oral warranties written or if not, to have a witness to an oral warranty just in case disputes occur later on.
For their part, manufacturers are responsible for making warranties that they can back up. They also need to use the most appropriate words that can be easily understood by consumers and they would know in what situations the warranty will and will not apply. Common words used in express warranties include use as directed, normal use only and so on which should tell consumers that they have to follow the proper instructions provided when using the product to prevent damage.

It was Mr. Lancer's class, and they were in the middle of a lecture when a weak knocking at the door caught the class's attention. Mr. Lancer sighed, set down his book and went to the door. When the door opened a very banged up and tired looking Danny Fenton wobbled into the room, clutching his side and breathing heavily.
"Mr. Fenton?" Lancer asked as he caught the boy before he fell over. Danny groaned in pain as Lancer helped him to a sitting position on the floor. Danny let go of his side, revealing his torn and blood soaked shirt.
"Lord of the flies! Someone go get the nurse!" Mr. Lancer said in an urgent voice and two students automatically stood up and rushed out of the room. Soon Danny was surrounded by his class mates.
"Danny, what the heck happened?" Mr. Lancer asked. Danny looked up groggily at the teacher and sighed. Danny then lifted his shirt to reveal a large gash in his side; blood was spilling out of it like a stream.
"Oh no…no no ….no…." Danny muttered when he looked at his hand to find a sick mixture of green and red.
"Ectoplasm…" Danny whispered to himself, trying to get up, but was shoved back down by Mr. Lancer who began to apply pressure to the wound.
"Just relax; the nurse is coming right now, if you move too much you could make it worse." Mr. Lancer said in a calm voice. Danny winced in pain when he felt the large man's hand on his side. The class was speechless; they didn't know what to do or to say. Just as the nurse burst through the door with Sam and Tucker fallowing shortly behind a figure appeared in the middle of the room.
"Clockwork?" Danny asked. Everyone in the room stared at the ghost shifting from old to young.
"You're dying Danny." The ghost said, looking at the boy with saddened eyes.
"And you're here to stop it? Danny asked, gazing up at the ghost.
"I'm afraid not, it's your time Danny. You'll still exist as a ghost, you can still keep the city safe, but I cannot save your human half." The ghost said before disappearing.
"What do you mean you can't save my human half! Will I be Phantom or some twisted form of Phantom and Fenton? Clockwork!" Danny yelled angrily but he was already gone.
I don't think I'll add to this, it was just a random idea I had a while ago, and I have no idea where to go with it, so yeahh…

Geology: How it can Influence Hydraulic Fracturing
Date: Sunday, June 25, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm
Location: Double Tree – 2nd floor – Skybridge One
Instructor: Monte Besler, FRACN8R Consulting, LLC
Fee: $80; includes break refreshments and workbook
Course Description Hydraulic fracturing has become a very important factor in the successful completion of oil and gas wells, as we continue to go after increasingly higher hanging fruit in the reservoir tree. Reservoir characterization, using geological input, is an essential cog in the process of determining the type of completion equipment and hydraulic fracturing process needed to optimize results. In this course we will link some of commonly gathered geological parameters to the fracturing techniques, fluids, chemicals, etc.
Monte Besler has 37 years of experience in the industry, mostly in Williston Basin, Powder River Basin, NW Colorado, and Montana. He has worked for Halliburton and Amerada Hess, and is currently a consultant based in Williston, ND. Mr. Besler has developed new solutions to old problems throughout the Northern Rockies, and is a widely recognized expert in hydraulic fracturing and acidizing. He has authored or coauthored ten technical articles, and has made numerous presentation at industry conferences. Mr. Besler graduated from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology with a BS degree in Geological Engineering.
Petroleum Geostatistics
Date: Sunday, June 25, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm
Location: Double Tree – 2nd floor – Skybridge Two
Instructor: Todd Hoffman
Fee: $250; includes lunch, break refreshments and workbook
Course Description.
Reservoir models are an important part of optimizing the development of our fields; thus, the models need to be built as accurately as possible and geostatistics is a set of tools that allow us to construct more realistic models. This course will teach you how to use those geostatistical tools to create high quality petroleum reservoir models.
The course begins by exploring ways to model geologic continuity – e.g. what is a variogram and what is a training image, and how do they work? Fundamental techniques to calculate petrophysical properties such as kriging and sequential simulation are then covered in great detail. Next, we will examine more recent techniques such as object based methods and multipoint geostatistics, which are good for modeling facies and rock types. We will discuss how to integrate data from many different sources and at many different scales. Finally, we will look at ways to quantify uncertainty in our models, as geostatistics also provides methods to make that job easier.
We will use hands-on examples to create a deeper understanding of the methods as well as use software to perform field scale applications. By the end of the course, you will know when and how to use particular techniques and the general concepts and equations behind them.
Todd Hoffman is an Associate Professor in the Petroleum Engineering Department at the Montana Tech. He teaches classes on Reservoir Simulation, EOR and Unconventional Reservoirs. Prior to that, he was a reservoir engineering consultant to the oil and gas industry specializing in flow modeling and fractured reservoirs. He was also a petroleum engineering professor at Colorado School of Mines, where he taught courses on Geostatistics, Fluid Properties and Reservoir Engineering. He has over 15 years of combined experience in academia and industry. Todd has worked on reservoir models for more than 30 fields on six continents, and has published over 40 technical papers. His research involves improved recovery for conventional and unconventional oil reservoirs, fracture reservoir modeling and ensuring data consistency while history matching. Todd received his B.S. in petroleum engineering from Montana Tech and his M.S. and his Ph.D. in petroleum engineering from Stanford University.
An Introduction to Core Analytical Techniques
Date: Wednesday – June 28 – 8:00 am to 2:00 pm
Location: Double Tree – 2nd floor – Skybridge One
Instructors: Michael Hofmann and Richard Patience
Fee: $215; includes lunch, break refreshments and workbook
Cores offer a unique opportunity to obtain vertically continuous rock samples from the subsurface and enhance our ability to predict reservoir architecture and performance, and maximize hydrocarbon recovery. Properly analyzed cores provide direct evidence of basic geologic, petrophysical and geochemical properties essential to correctly calibrate other petrophysical and geophysical tools. This six hour seminar is designed for any E&P professional wanting to learn about different core analysis techniques applicable to conventional and unconventional plays. This course will provide participants with both an overview of various uses of core and a better understanding of the value and limitations of special and routine core analytical techniques, including core photography, lithologic core description, petrography, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, computed tomography scanning, TOC, pyrolysis (Rock Eval), vitrinite reflectance, and oil analysis, among others. This collaborative seminar will also include discussion about sample selection, core and sample handling, and core and sample storage. In addition to learning about the role of these techniques in reservoir characterization, the participants will have the opportunity to spend some time describing core and discuss their decision-making process on sample selection with their peers. The core description will be aided by the use of portable and non-destructive analytical techniques critical to help with selecting the most meaningful sample intervals.

The M's have made their first move of the off-season, and my initial reaction is that I love this one. They've traded RHP Josh Lueke and a PTBNL (or cash, indicating that it's probably not a very important secondary player) to the Tampa Bay Rays for C John Jaso. Lueke you know about, so here's the lowdown on Jaso. He's a 28-year-old left-handed catcher who worked his way up through Tampa Bay's system despite not being a scout's favorite. He displayed fantastic approach at the plate (career 299/309 BB/K in 2,550 minor league plate appearances) all the way up through the minors, and used his on base skills to compensate for just average power. After tiring of Dioner Navarro, the Rays turned their catching job over to Jaso in 2010, and he responded by having a fantastic season, hitting .263/.378/.372 in his rookie year. His terrific approach at the plate continued, as he drew 59 walks and struck out just 39 times, and while he still didn't show a ton of power, his on base skill...

Florida Democratic Party Chairman Rod Smith Chin-Checks Rick Scott
Florida Democratic Party Chairman Rod Smith didn't actually roll up on Gov. Rick Scott like some grimy guttersnipe and punch him in the face. He threw a literary left hook. A chin check in text, if you will.
But in the same way that a punch to the mouth can expose the fragility behind a street punk's façade, Smith's letter to Scott on Thursday unveiled the rottenness behind Scott's seemingly wholesome sale of Solantic.
After the news broke that Scott had finalized a deal to sell off his family's shares of the medical clinic, Smith wrote a letter to Scott, insisting that he fully disclose all investments controlled by him and his immediate family, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
"To show Floridians that you aren't further profiting from your actions as Governor, it is incumbent upon you to fully disclose all of your assets," Smith wrote.

Scott should show more accountability than what's required by Florida's laughably weak ethics laws, he insisted. Scott's attempt to hide his stake in Solantic under his wife's name "did not pass the smell test in the court of public opinion."
It was a brief, condescending screed that berated Scott as a profiteering pansy who falsely believes that he has most Floridians fooled. But hey, this guy also believes that he averted a federal government shutdown.

Do you have faith, or merely fear?
If our faith is primarily a mantra to drive away punishment, our faith isn't really a faith, it is a fear. We feign faith in order to keep from being punished.

But if we warm ourselves too eagerly at that story we are in danger of deluding ourselves about the way Britain treats refugees who come from countries that do not have the immediate hold on our imagination and sympathy that Kosovo briefly did. As the new Immigration and Asylum Bill passes on its way through the House of Lords, we should be clear-sighted about the kind of welcome that most asylum seekers can expect in Britain.
Even during the political and media debate about the new Bill, few voices have been raised against the practice of detaining refugees. And yet detention has become a mainstay of the Government's policy on asylum seekers, and the numbers of refugees who are locked up rise all the time. If it's a subject that's gone away in the media, it certainly hasn't gone away for those who are locked up.
About 800 asylum seekers at any one time are kept in detention centres or prisons in Britain. They live in a legal limbo, with no idea why they were chosen for detention and no idea when they will be released, waiting in hope of a bail hearing or in terror of a deportation order. The callous, arbitrary way that detention is used is obvious if you look at just a couple of individual cases. For one current detainee, it has even involved separation from her young son, a trauma from which neither of them will easily recover.
I visited this particular asylum seeker, whom we'll call Clare, in Tinsley House, a detention centre near Gatwick Airport. It's called a detention centre, but once you've negotiated the steel gates and heavy doors and been searched and frisked and sent through the metal detector you feel more as if you're visiting a prison. This is where Clare has been living for seven weeks, and she has no idea when she will be free to walk out of those steel gates. Clare arrived in Britain from Congo (formerly Zaire) with her one-year-old son in 1993 and applied for asylum. When she moved house, she missed a Home Office interview. One day at the end of May this year the police caught up with her. They took her to the police station, kept her there for two days, and then sent her to Tinsley House. That was on 2 June.
Over the last seven weeks, Clare has only seen her son twice. He is staying with her cousin. As we talk, Clare returns over and over again to the horror of being without him. "He came here twice but this is not a good place to visit. Now he is sick. He isn't eating. Our GP is very worried - he has written to the immigration office to say that my son is so scared that I've gone away that it's making him ill. He is only seven. He doesn't understand why I am here." I ask Clare what the worst thing is about being in detention. "Missing my son. When I left the Congo I took him. We only had each other. I am always with him. This is what is paining me. That is the only thing that is affecting me here. I just want to be with my son."
Even if the authorities thought that Clare was likely to disappear, there are more humane ways of keeping tabs on a young mother than by locking her up indefinitely without her son.
If you think it's appropriate to imprison her, think of what she and her son went through before they even got to Britain. She left the Congo because her father was involved in political activities. She wants to tell me about what happened to her then, but her voice sometimes gets choked off by tears. "One day soldiers came and arrested all of us and took us away in a lorry to a prison. They beat me and raped me and they even hit my son." When she got on the aeroplane to leave, she hoped that their ordeals were over.
Although organisations such as Amnesty International and the UN High Commission for Refugees have been lobbying the government for years to give asylum seekers conventional legal safeguards against arbitrary detention - such as the presumption in favour of liberty that suspected criminals enjoy, and guaranteed legal representation in bail hearings - the Government is actually set to increase the numbers of individuals that are held in detention.
To meet the imminent surge in numbers a new "prison-style" detention centre in Aldington in Kent will be opened to house more refugees in the autumn.
The Government argues that detention is necessary for individuals who have had their applications for asylum refused and are awaiting deportation. That makes some sense, but in fact detention isn't used in that specific way - it is used arbitrarily, and the vast majority of detainees haven't yet had their applications refused. Even the Government admits that people who have suffered torture should not be detained. Its own White Paper on immigration states: "Evidence of a history of torture should weigh strongly in favour of temporary admission or temporary release [ie freedom] while an individual's asylum claim is being considered." But detention is frequently used even against refugees who have suffered torture.
Next to Clare sits Eleanor, a Nigerian woman in her mid-twenties with a quick, clear voice. She and her partner were members of an opposition party in Nigeria. One night the police came looking for her partner. They came to her house, and when they found he wasn't there they took her away. Her face becomes expressionless as she looks back to that terrible time. "They tried to make me tell them where he was hiding. They beat me and tied me up - look." She holds out her right hand. One finger has been broken and has healed at an angle. "I struggled. They raped me. They didn't get the information they wanted. I told them that if they released me I would find him for them. So they released me, and I ran to a friend's house. Then I got out of the country." When Eleanor arrived at Gatwick she was immediately detained, and has now been locked up for eleven months, even though she has told the authorities about her experiences in Nigeria.
I was introduced to both Clare and Eleanor by Women Against Rape. Like many other organisations working in this field, Women Against Rape are feeling overwhelmed by the number of cases that are currently being brought to them, of asylum seekers who are locked up for long periods despite their individual claims on our compassion. And they know that even if they help a couple of individuals to be released and get refugee status, that is only the tip of the iceberg. Naturally, because they are locked up in a foreign country, most detainees are totally invisible and inaudible, unable to access the legal and counselling services they need. "Most women in detention have no one to turn to," says Sian Evans of Women Against Rape.
Conditions inside detention centres are not good for traumatised individuals. The women I met in Tinsley House speak a little about the vindictive attitudes of some of the staff, about the boring food, the limited facilities, the claustrophobic sleeping arrangements (they sleep three or four to a room), the poor medical care available. But what concerns them far more than the conditions here is their pressing, compelling desire just to be free of it all, free of the boredom and humiliation and anguish of being kept like rabbits in a hutch when they are desperate to try to live again. Is that so hard to understand? After all, the right to liberty lies at the very heart of all British law, and only in exceptional circumstances, such as criminal activity, can it be taken from a British national. Only asylum seekers have totally lost that right.
When I ask Eleanor how old she is, she looks at me sadly. "I'm 26," she says. "But sometimes I feel my life is over. If I go back to Nigeria, I think they will kill me. But it is hell here. That's all. It is hell."
