This odious farce must end!
I suppose it is just too much for Australians to expect that this spineless government will tell the lunatic Orange Donald to take a walk on this one.
As a Labor government with a supposed commitment to the iconic Australian “fair go” it has squirmed and stretched its morals on so many occasions to suit the infantile psychopath in the White House that it is now becoming habitual. This was an ordinary person who had served his then country for twelve years in uniform and when he moved on to civilian life and moved to Australia he had the responsibility to feed his family using the skills that his then country had required of him. When he did that pilot training in South Africa there was nothing illegal in both South Africa and Australia about it.
But the US infantile paranoia about China, and the servile cowardliness of the Australian government in licking US boots, has now led to this decent human being being used by both governments to expiate their collective guilt.
Its time to end this farce and allow him to go back to his family!!
