Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments
Last post by DJC -James Paterson and Andrew Bragg are two of the better performed Liberal Senators imo and yep I know their job as the Libs attack dogs is to drag up dirt on anything Labor do/dont do but the reality is this present Government are great at serving up themselves up on a plate,making mistake after mistake and then trying to cover it up. Letting detainees back into the public who have been charged with serious crimes is horrendous imo and lacking common sense much like giving ISIS brides Passports to come back to Australia and then trying to cover it up and deny giving assistance...
Paterson usually gets it right imo and while he can be over the top wanting detail and pedantic about scoring political points Id rather that than letting these incidents be covered up and buried by the Government..
That's why the Libs are in the doldrums!
A Criminal Justice Visa is granted by the Department of Home Affairs so that an immigration detainee can be kept in the country to face charges. It's routine and there's nothing unusual or untoward about this. They were granted bail by the court, as is usually the case for non-violent offenders who aren't flight risks. The Government doesn't determine who gets bail.
The ISIS brides are Australian citizens and the Australian Government has no choice but to issue them with replacement passports. It's the law.
Paterson doesn't get things right. He fakes outrage over part of the story and ignores the facts.
