Sri Lankan & Afghans return fire over visa suspensions
48 hours ago the Australian government announced it was suspending asylum applications for asylum seekers of Afghan and Sri Lankan descent.
Obviously not happy that they’d be stuck in limbo for the next three to six months some Afghan and Sri Lankan asylum seekers, currently being detained in Sydney, have begun a hunger strike.
The catch?
These clowns have already had their asylum applications refused.
The asylum visa suspension handed down applies to all new asylum applications and this includes new appeals. As I mentioned in my earlier article the end result is that all new arrivals are stuck in limbo and housed at the taxpayer’s expense.
Additionally with the news of this hunger strike it’s now also clear that any Afghan and Sri Lankan asylum seekers who were waiting to lodge appeals are also now stuck in limbo too, again at the taxpayer’s expense.
Whilst I can’t even begin to imagine why the hell we moved asylum seekers to the Australian mainland after their claims were initially rejected, the question now is just what are the government going to do.
Filled with a sense of self importance the striking asylum seekers have announced that they are
refusing to eat until their appeals are set in motion (and) are also demanding to meet with Immigration Minister Chris Evans.
As if trying to bully the Australian government into submission wasn’t enough the news article also states that many of the group are “mentally unstable“.
Oh yes please. If it’s one thing Australia doesn’t have enough of it’s mentally unstable people!
Soltan Ahmad Azizi married his wife Marzieh Rahimi in Afghanistan back in 1995. In 2005 they came to Australia as refugees. In 2007 Azizi strangled Rahimi with her veil in front of their two children because he thought she had “become too Australian” and asked for a divorce.
After murdering his wife Azizi called up police, informed them he’d murdered his wife and told them “I’m ready for the handcuffs“.
Azizi claimed the couple’s marriage was “a happy one“.
Up until now Australia’s police on asylum seekers has been seemingly dictated to us by those seeking asylum. With the news of this latest hunger strike it seems that trend is set to continue.
I for one can’t wait to see how Kevin ‘pass the lube’ Rudd handles this one.

The Australian government is taking unnecessary responsibility for these asylum seekers… unless they have something to gain in terms of a global agenda/UN/NATO whatever; what are they trying to prove?
I mean how difficult is it to use taxpayer money to place these guys on a plane/ship and deport them?
If this is the way our money is being spent at the expense of hard working Australians in the current economy… I want my money back!

Rudd has already made clear his ambitions of getting into the UN after he’s done stuffing up Australia.
Why else do you think we’re bending over backwards…
