SMH: "is destroying a way of life"

Today's quote comes from the 3rd paragraph of Jacob Saulwick's article, "Christmas Islanders face rapid change to way of life", from the Sydney Morning Herald:

"And, among the locals, opinion is splintering sharply about the impact of the mammoth detention facilities. The island's population has swollen from about 1000 to more than 3500, though more than half are in detention. Some say the influx of officials, security guards, interpreters, police and teachers is destroying a way of life. Others are resigned to it."
