REFUGEES and other visa-holders face a tougher character test to stay in Australia after authorities were left struggling to remove a refugee convicted of child sex offences and accused of trying to kidnap a four-year-old girl.
The attempted kidnap charge against the Afghan man was dropped after a magistrate found that the “cultural differences” in his case could be a mitigating factor.
That decision and the fact that Ali Jaffari, 35, was only given a two-year community corrections order for indecent assault involving two boys, aged 12 and 13, means that the government is struggling to deport him.
This is despite the fact that he has also been listed on a sex offenders’ register.
Mr Jaffari was awarded a permanent protection visa in early 2012 by the Gillard government upon arriving by boat.
He was convicted last August of charges of indecently assaulting and attempted indecent assault of children under the age of 16 relating to the incident involving the two boys at a
Geelong beach. Witnesses to the November 2012 incident claimed Jaffari started grabbing and rubbing himself against them, cuddling and kissing them on the neck and telling one of the boys that he was “sexy”.
One of the victims said Jaffari followed them to the showers, cornered them and asked if he “wanted company”.
Despite police prosecutors demanding he be sent to jail for the offences, Jaffari was placed on a two-year community corrections order with 300 hours unpaid community work.
He was also listed on a sex offenders’ register.
In February, Jaffari had a child-stealing charge dropped against him in the Geelong Magistrates Court after the magistrate said if he was hearing the matter, he would have reasonable doubt about his guilt, citing “cultural differences” as one mitigating factor.
The case related to the alleged attempt by Jaffari last year to lead a four-year-old girl away from a sports oval while her father and brother played cricket.
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/national/tougher-character-tests-for-asylu... The leftists say we need some cultural enrichment, they have buzzwords like xenophobe to hurl at those who object to this cultural enrichment.
The exact opposite of a xenophobe is someone who promiscuously embraces foreign cultures while snobbishly rejecting their own home grown culture,since this guy claimed cultural differences as a defence we can see what type of cultural enrichment the leftists want to impose on us, it would be a form of cultural buggery.
If it was a catholic doing this the leftists would squeal like stuck pigs, it appears acceptable when done by people from other cultures, this is perfectly normal for Afghans
