I wonder if the government and opposition will ever be confident enough to provide us with some evidence for his deportation. If they won’t tell us, you have to wonder why not.

Yeah, deport people like Parkin, meanwhile do nothing about the greatest threats to our national security, that is global warming and the death of the oil economy. Fan-fucking-tastic!

deej, do you wonder at all why peace activists are deported, but Opus Dei operatives with neo-nazi cronies rise to the top of the Lieberal party?

I wonder… a lot. So does Darp.

I’m worried. I’m vegetarian, agnostic, dye my hair red, work for marriage equality, hate Howard, loathe Bush, want peace to break out and keep commenting on sites like this. I’m hiding my passport.

JT, your passport won’t do you much good when they begin revoking citizenships. It’s already been discussed.

I’m a carnivorous atheist with natural blonde hair, wouldn’t get married again on a bet and expect it to be 50-100 years before we see a level of peace and international cooperation as we did during the Clinton administration… and I’m a good bit more worried than you.

6 big burly bastards will simply grab me after I get halfway through my coffee and throw me in jail, for no reason whatsoever.

Andrew Wilkie’s had a word about this. Says that if Parkin had actually been a threat to national security, he’d have been arrested and charged, not deported.

Can’t wait for Andrew to have another go at politics. We need truthseekers in government.

“Truthseekers in government”, now that’s definitely subversive and so dangerous they’ll send 12 burly bastards to make sure of you.

Yes loss for words too. Totally disgusting.

JT, the scary part is that you may be right…

I’m in real trouble, a British citizen who has already complained heartedly to the government about their treatment of Australian prisoners overseas, and am unable to apply for citizenship for quite some time. What I find really disturbing is not only has Scott Parkin been deported but the total feeling of apathy in these cases, as in the Cornelia Rau and Vivian Alvarez scenario’s.

We should all feel incredibly safe today, knowing that our governments fight on terrorism includes arresting and deporting peace activists and shooting dead innocent people on their way to work. Jean Charles de Menezes death was justified quite simply by Tony Blair, as an unfortunate incident. So I am sure Howard will have no problem in justifying locking up and deporting Scott Parkin.

Kate, if you’re not an Australian citizen, you do indeed have cause to fear your imminent deportation.

We’ve got to keep this issue in the headlights until the HoWARd gubmint retracts the claim that Parkin was a ‘threat to national security,’ apologises to and compensates him for his losses.

Funny thing is, had HoWARd and his lying sack of shit not bothered with Parkin, he would have come and gone with little notice. Now the anti-war left have a new cause celebre- and nothing short of a hero if Parkin stays in this and fights to the ends of his legal ability.

The government have stupidly put themselves in a position of having to define just what it is that Parkin was supposed to have done that was so threatening. There’s most definitely a precedent set that will weigh heavily on every non-citizen resident of or visitor to Australia.

If ever there was a time for a Bill of Rights in Australia- it’s now.

Those questioned by ASIO may not reveal the fact for 28 days. Call me dumb but I can’t figure that one out apart from the fact I couldn’t keep my mouth shut for 28 seconds. Going back when ASIO was not so highly thought of, I knew a young girl who worked for them. She smoked pot, had a heroin shot every now and then and slept with anything that had a pulse. Can’t quite remember the level of security clearance but it was high. I’m sure they’re a lot more careful these days and don’t make mistakes. No, it wasn’t me, I was too busy keeping the Navy happy.

The technicality, like ‘disturbing the peace’, is that he entered on a Visitor’s Visa, the fine print of which, demands that one simply ‘visit’ and not have any kind of ‘profile’. the bastards.
Breaking news just now, has a statement from Robt McLelland who says The Australian Labor Party is totally committed to the US Bush Regime. Weez: your nationality is not ‘dual’ – we are they and they are us and we are all warmongers.
London has just held an International Arms Dealers Convention and I am composing a post on it but keep getting too upset to go on. Their head of BAE Systems Dikk Olverr has bribed Pinochet to buy British arms, and for all I know he is bribing the Austn defence Minister too.( I have learned to mispell names to avoid people who Technorati themselves).

The DSD & ASIS are to be authorised to spy on Australians in their homes. They will be allowed to use any intelligence gathered “accidentally”.
They will be allowed to pass information to taxation, welfare and police.
ASIO will use the information as part of its counter-terrorism activities.
What has taxation and welfare got to do with terrorism?
You were right Weezil, anyone against the Prime Miniature and his U.S. boot licking is a target.

Hi again.

I was reading several of your posts and I am a bit confused. In one picture, I believe you are standing yet in another post you state that you can hardly stand.

Are you disabled?

If so, please let me know if you would like me to post your weblog on my company’s link directory http://www.audacitymagazine.com

Thanks.
Nathasha

Hi Natasha,

I can be on my feet for about 10-15 minutes before I have to sit. I walk short distances with a cane but use an electric mobi to get around shops.

Back in Feb 2003, I was able to walk a few sections of the march against the Iraq invasion (as pictured a couple of posts back). That was pretty stoopid as I wasn’t able to walk at all for the ensuing 2 weeks.

Thanks for the offer of a link. Yes please! Audacity is a very nice looking site. Will read.

cheers
