	Understanding the strange story of Cornelia Rau - a psychologist's perspective
		Rau was a small part of its safety system for some years.
		If part of its purpose is to prevent further re-occurrences of what Cornelia Rau, and her family has endured, it must create an atmosphere of openness and sharing.
		Rau's case, the alignment was fortunately still imperfect when her identity was discovered through good fortune and diligent journalism: she didn't lose her life.

		She refused to remarry after her husband's death, devoting herself to her children, whom she educated well and inspired with a sense of civic duty and a desire for glory.
		When a wealthy patrician woman spoke of her jewels, Cornelia pointed to her two sons, saying, "These are my jewels!" Whether she supported the revolutionary tendencies of her sons or tempered them is debated by historians.

	The Monthly magazine - an intelligent, independent voice
		Cornelia was the younger daughter of Edgar and Veronika, a solid middle-class German couple from the Baltic city of Hamburg.
		At this time Cornelia was also deeply affected by the courtship of a young man, which she took to be a love affair and which led her to believe in the existence of a “three-way love tryst”.
		And yet when it came to the case of Cornelia, her inconsistencies and her fantasy tales do not appear to have caused the DIMIA officials who dealt with her in Cairns or Brisbane the smallest doubt that she was telling the truth about the unlawfulness of her presence in Australia.

	The Guardian
		The locking up of Cornelia Rau by the Queensland police and then by the immigration Department in the Baxter detention centre in South Australia is a direct result of the atmosphere of intolerance, neglect of individual rights and callous treatment created by the social policies of federal and state governments.
		In this case, they chose not to investigate the circumstances which led to Cornelia Rau wandering the country until she was taken in by the Aboriginal people of North Queensland.
		Cornelia Rau was notified to the NSW police as a missing person but this information, we are told, was not transmitted to other state police departments.

	The detention of Cornelia Rau: legal issues
		Ms Rau was initially detained on 31 March 2004 at Coen police station on behalf of immigration authorities, before being taken to the Cairns police watchhouse where she was held from 1—5 April.
		Ms Rau was detained by Queensland police and held in immigration detention under the authority of the Migration Act 1958.
		In Ms Rau’s case, however, as each day passed without evidence that she was unlawful, the more remote the purpose of removal from Australia would have become, and the less likely it would be that her continued detention was a valid use of the ‘aliens’ power.

		But Cornelia Rau is well known to the German consulate in Sydney and a NSW Police missing persons poster of her has been pinned on the waiting room wall for months.
		In fact, it seems Cornelia Rau was well known to Federal Police, Foreign Affairs and Trade officials, two state police forces and leading hospitals in Queensland and NSW.
		Rau's sister and a niece visit Cornelia at Glenside and are at least reassured that she looks well (13/2) even though she still does not recognise them.

		Chris Rau and her sister's illness-mongers "...he felt he was witnessing the "erosion of democratic discourse in Australia", where reasoned argument was met not with thoughtful responses but with political spin..."
		After the terrific debacle of the Cornelia Rau afffair in the beginning of 2005, a "closed" government inquiry was announced by the Immigration Minister Senator Amanda Vanstone.

		The detainee, who shared the Red One (R-1) compound with Rau, described an occasion when she was “crying and sobbing because the floor of her room was covered by water” while she sat “holding her teddy bear and shedding tears”.
		The statement explained how Cornelia was placed in a room with no curtains, and that when she slept naked the officers would turn the light on “for a long time from outside to check her” and were “talking about her body”.
		The statement concluded that Rau had a “very difficult time” in the compound and that “we all are really happy” that she was released.

	Exposed: How The Howard Government Failed Cornelia Rau
		"Amazingly, Cornelia Rau's name had been added to the National Names Index (a part of the Crimtrac Police Reference System) as a missing person, but the Howard Government has comprehensively failed to advance the capabilities of the database since 1999," Senator Ludwig said.
		Cornelia Rau may well have been worse off as a missing person in 2005 than she was in 1995, because at least under Keating we had a National Missing Persons Bureau."
		Mr Mobbs—If we knew a person called Cornelia Rau had been fingerprinted by police in connection with an investigation, her fingerprints should be on the NAFIS, if police have submitted them to the NAFIS.

		It's also the story of a clash of bureaucratic cultures: between the scrupulous Germans and their insistence on hard evidence, and the sloppy Australians who never found a shred of evidence to support the only plan they ever thought up to solve this mess: to deport to Germany the woman known as Anna.
		As Cornelia Rau she had been treated there for about a month in 2002.
		But the grim irony was that somewhere in the hospital were already the records needed to identify this woman's profound mental problems.

		If we are very lucky then ultimately there will be substantial and transparent answers given as to how an Australian citizen can disappear into the immigration department ‘gulag’ for nearly a year, and even more importantly, just what happens to people while they are held in detention.
		Numerous people raised doubts about Cornelia Rau’s mental state during her time in Baxter.
		For the sake of these people, for Cornelia’s sake, and we can only hope that her mental condition has not been permanently exacerbated by this experience, and for the sake of Australia, there are numerous questions that Australians should be asking of those whom we have elected to lead us.

		The reforms emanating from Mick Palmer's inquiry into the wrongful imprisonment of Cornelia have given a greater review role to the federal ombudsman (but only after someone's been detained for two years) and many long-term detainees are being quietly released.
		In Cornelia's case, we were told by eyewitnesses that on many days she was given only two hours' egress, or none at all.
		At least on one occasion, Cornelia was punched in the chest so hard she fell backwards into her cell so the guards could lock her inside.

		The case of Cornelia Rau may turn out to be one of those terrible incidents that provide a wake-up call and a catalyst for positive change.
		Geoff, Beattie’s response on the ABC News on Monday night was to say that she was being held under delegated authority for the Commonwealth and thus they rather than Queensland set the conditions for her detention in Brisbane.
		Also it is clear that Cornelia knew her name all along, perhaps not when she became really ill. She didn’t trust the authorities and apparently thought that if she gave her real name she would be deported to Germany.
