Haneef charges dropped
Mohamed Haneef has had charges dropped against him.
What are the odds he stays in detention, or is simply deported on short notice. The question is where will he be deported to?
Whose arse is gonna get kicked over the notes in the diary, and all the other cock-ups in this case?
More to come.

How absolutely outrageous that he now has to fight to clear his name. To my mind, the Minister now has a moral obligation to review the decision to cancel his visa and either:
a) reveal what evidence he has for revoking it on the basis of ‘character’, so that Haneef has a chance to clear his name and so that the public can know that Andrews is acting in the public interest and not his own political interest, or
b) renew Haneef’s visa with abject apology.
What an absolute disgrace, from start to finish.

oho! Where’s the secret evidence now?

Ok, now they’re saying that his visa hasn’t been given back, but rather that he’s been given a residential determination so that he can return to his house rather than being locked up in Villawood.
Wonder what happens next?

He’s on his way home now according to SBS World News. He’s on residential detention, whereby he is allowed home but still doesn’t have his passport and is allowed only limited movement. Sounds a bit like being on bail, to be honest…

Andrews must go now!
Rather than waiting for the electorate to make the decision for him, Kevin Andrews should resign from Cabinet now!
There are only two possible interpretations of the Haneef case:
If we believe the government, everyone but the politicians have made a mistake. Whatever happened to ministerial responsibility and political accountability. After the debacle of the AWB when no-one was held to account, Howard knows the answer to that.
Demand Andrews’ resignation now! Email: kevin.andrews.mp@aph.gov.au
Ruddock should join Andrews. Who is responsible for the Australian legal processes - someone else’s problem no doubt. What does an Attorney General do these days?
It also seems that National Security briefings for the Opposition serve only to gag them. If the government can’t refrain from verballing people in court, you can imagine how they spin their briefings.

Um… I’m not sure that emailing Kevin Andrews and demanding his resignation is going to do that much.
Why not try emailing his boss?
