Why are we bothering to lift a finger to assist some idiot who knew exactly what he was doing?
Because he is an Australian Citizen (as far as I know he was unsucessful in the UK attempt) , and as such enjoys the rights of same and is entitled to the protection of the relevant Australian consular office overseas. You cannot selectively apply and renege citizenship rights on the basis of what someone may have done, or indeed with regard to their stupidity, either way they deserve representation and this has been disgracefully lacking in a most obvious and damaging manner.
I make no comment with regard to the detention facility nor methods.
I do agree however that the sun herald is a load of dogs doo.
