The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) decided to make history on 1 July 2011 by grounding an entire airline - Tiger Airways for almost six weeks over the incidents in which the same pilot twice flown too low into airports in Melbourne within a time-frame of slightly more than 3 weeks in June.

THESE 3 men were deported from Australia in October 2009 on the grounds
that they were found not to have believable claims that they would
suffer persecution on return.

Clearly someone got it wrong. These men have been comprehensively
tortured AND TWO YEARS LATER ARE STILL IN PRISON WITHOUT BEING CHARGED.

Discovering the truth - Gerry Georgatos.

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Wed, 10/08/2011 - 4:16pm

The ability to discover the truth is outstripped by the ability to manifest deceit. Generally, I try to rely on the context of statistics and facts to hang on to the truth.

In Malaysia, 29,759 foreigners were caned between 2005 to end of 2010. This refutes Minister Bowen's claims that human rights, as we know them, will be protected.
