Sounds like "Foucault's Boomerang":
"This 'boomerang effect', which Foucault had identified, was the process by which the mechanisms of control which Western colonizer countries developed to repress colonized countries and peoples would eventually end up finding their way back to the West, being utilized by Western governments against their own people."

I have no way to help here, but just wanted to say that this whole situation stinks.
The Australian government is way off the mark there.
In my mind they've been applying fucked up heartless black and white logic to asylum seekers and offshore detention, and now they're so practiced in it that they turn it against citizens.
