Title: Will immigration investigation take 4 years?
Post by Maqqa on Jun 6^th, 2012 at 10:58am

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-05/people-smuggler-discovery-a-catastrophic-failure/4052174

Immigration Minister Chris Bowen has ordered an investigation into revelations that people smugglers have posed as asylum seekers to gain entry into Australia.

An ABC Four Corners investigation, aired last night, also revealed that a people-smuggling kingpin passed himself off as a refugee in 2010, and now operates his business from a Canberra suburb.

Captain Emad, also known as Abu Khalid, captained an asylum boat from Indonesia, but then acted like an ordinary passenger when Australian authorities arrived.

He was taken into detention on Christmas Island and was given a protection visa and Australian residency on April 20, 2010, only three months after his boat arrived.

Today Mr Bowen said he had ordered an investigation into the case, and into separate allegations that a people-smuggler's wife works for his department.

"That was a suggestion that was made in the media for the first time yesterday, and we will assess the veracity of that," he said.

And he said he had "no tolerance at all for people gaining refugee status based on false information".

"When we have somebody who has been granted refugee status, if it can be established that that status was based on wrong information then that can be revoked," he said.

"If somebody has gotten through that net is something that can be rectified and will be rectified."

But he said it was important to make sure the allegations were investigated "appropriately" and would not put a time frame on the process.

Emad and other smugglers passed ASIO security checks and went on to set up lucrative people smuggling deals in Australia.

He now lives just a few kilometres from the Australian Federal Police's headquarters in Canberra.

you know they are still allegations. Made by a TV show. Still need to be proven.

I think its maqqas suggestion and he made TWO threads on it too. Prolly trying to draw a parallel between thomson and this. Who knows.

I'd be suprised if the "investigation" takes 4 days. The verdict will be "no case to answer" - all they need is to work backwards from there.

At the time I posted that, I hadn't noticed Maqqa's subsequent response. That thought did cross my mind, but I thought that anyone with half a brain would realise that the circumstances surrounding both of these incidents are totally different, as would be the manner in which the enquiries would be conducted, so there is no valid comparison. I was assuming that Maqqa is of average intelligence, and that he must have meant something else, but I think I must have been assuming too much.

It was SOB who claimed the lies of the Children overboard is the same as the Carbon Tax lie despite the circumstances being different - very much like the topic of this thread.

So I'd thought this thread would sucker a leftie into insulting SOB and highlighting the difference. True to form it happened

The impact of minority bashing and millions of dead because of Howards lies impacted a tad more than Gillards revenue neutral carbon tax..which I might add Abbott would have had to take up as well.
The benefits of the tax will far outweigh any of the benefits of Howards and Abbotts lies while they were in power

it's revenue neutral now is it?

Last 5 years the Labor Party made predictions about the Budget based on Treasury numbers and not once did they get it right - so now all of a sudden you think its revenue neutral :D :D :D :D

If you are simply talking about IMPACT then Gillard's carbon tax will impact millions in Australia as well as overseas

What Howard lies are you referring to?
