The Full Federal Court of Australia has tossed out the appeal by the previous Federal Government against the original decision by the Federal Court to reinstate Dr Mohamed Haneef's original work visa.Now is the time for:
1. Dr Haneef's visa to be immediately reinstated by the new Immigration Minister Chris Evans who should show the people of Australia that he is running the Immigration Department and not faceless bureaucrats.
2. The Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty to tender his resignation forthwith. You only have to recall the words of Tony Morris QC about Mick Keelty : "On his own admission, as the chief law enforcement officer for the commonwealth, he was willing to allow a miscarriage of justice to proceed without taking any step to interfere - and then attacked Haneef's lawyers for their efforts to prevent that miscarriage" to see that there are serious grounds now for the Commissioner's resignation.
3. Clive Porritt to be reinstated today to his former position as a Commonwealth Prosecutor in Brisbane after being shafted and hung out to dry by his own Department.
4. The former Minister for Immigration Kevin Andrews to quit politics before Federal Parliament sits and offer himself up to the Australian Federal Police for questioning over his role in the Haneef affair and whether or not he committed an offence under Section 43 of the Commonwealth Crimes Act which carries a 5 year jail sentence for conspiring to pervert the course of justice in Australia.
5. Dr Haneef's lawyer Peter Russo to be awarded the upcoming award for Australian of the Year for his persistence and tenacity in the face of enormous political and legal obstacles in securing justice for a humble doctor who was simply returning home to see his newly-born child and who was innocently caught up in a web of deceit and political bastardry by the outgoing Liberal Government which was prepared to do anything - even allowing an innocent man to "hang" - just to hold onto the spoils of political office!This is the site for thinking and politically-astute Australians.
