That nice Christian man, Mr Andrews, has deported a New Zealand man on character grounds, despite an impending appeal to the Federal Court. Federal Court Justice Margaret Stone said “It is truly disgraceful for the Minister to behave in this way. I think nothing can excuse this sort of flagrant abuse of an individual’s rights.” I dare say Jesus would agree with her.
Just like the Coalition’s death penalty policy. What’s that old line from the Bible, “Thou shalt not kill, except for non-Christian terrorists?”
But a spokeswoman for Mr Andrews said: “While the …removal was done by the authority of the Immigration Department, the minister had no knowledge of, or involvement with the court hearing or the removal.”
Now what was all that fuss this week accusing Kevin Rudd of failing to take responsibility and blame-shifting?
