Being a professional heartless bastard can take its toll. The daughter of immigration minister Philip Ruddock, of detention camp infamy, has left Australia to work in a developing country. Kirsty Ruddock gave distress with her father's policies and politics as one of her reasons for leaving.

She says she has asked her father not to wear his Amnesty International badge when discussing immigration matters as the organisation opposed his policies.

What does one have to do to be kicked out of Amnesty International these days?
