Questions to the Department of Home Affairs about Fayez Elhasani

[@russellwynne3553]

Senator patterson you make us better! These people are clueless.

[@TerrenceBosworth]

Exactly. Thank God for Senator Paterson. Australia needs a Royal Commission into Albanese's life long support for the plo. This support has emboldened the antisemitism that has been prevalent since October 7 2023. Sack the lady with the word salad answers.

[@alistairdancepmm]

Watt (and presumably the Labor Party) are clearly not concerned about the individual concerned and the threat posed to Australia

[@dfor50]

Correct. As usual they pass the responsibility to another agency so any mistakes can be sheeted back to that agency.

They hate sunshine and openness for all to see what is going on. No one at that table with her is surprised in the least at the unelected power that is being weilded by each of them.

[@nonconformist.]

This department sounds like a taxpayers money pit, snouts in troughs, leaving our community in danger. The minister at the top of this, Murray Watt, appears to be a splendid example of a smug, self serving, useless career politician.

[@whitegum56]

Oh I think she does know about this individual she just refuses to answer any questions period. Oh, and on the subject of the deletion of the Australian flag on the officials photos she is just being an arse on that and showing her contempt over the Australian flag and the people of Australia, so if she does not like the flag of Australia she does not deserve to hold such a position of responsibility in the public service.

Patterson, thankyou . I would make an educated guess , that there is a three degrees of separation to that Visa to that person being approved ; in that , it will be either one of two things behind the process being made so simple for the person in question. a) the man has a buddy , friend of a friend who allowed it to be processed without resistance , because that friend of a friend , has a romantic interest in one of his nieces , or daughters , or best friend's daughters . Something in that ball park. OR , it is a kickback situation whereby there has been a significant "donation" been handed under the table , in order to have that gone through , without fanfare or too much scrutiny and readily stamped with the stamper . Patterson . Either one of those scenarios and maybe both of those combined . Perhaps. That is my educated guess on it . 😔🇦🇺

As for Watt being sarcastic and saying to Senator Paterson, "...if you are so concerned ( about visas being given to front line supporters of terrorist organisations) you should take it up with ASIO...!!". News flash for you Watt. Most decent Australians are concerned that a terrorist support should be allowed into Australia. Your department is responsible for the visas.

[@heretik111]

Politically naive public servants don't get promoted to senior levels. They are as accomplished as politicians in not answering questions, particularly important questions. And the Minister present seems to be responding in a deliberately obtuse and disingenuous way. Why? The questions were asked clearly and unambiguously. The evidence was clear. The request for clarification was pertinent. They (finally) pointed to the possibly compromising impact on possible reconsideration of visa status. Hmmm ... I wonder whether it was less a matter of adhering to security protocols, and rather a concern that any answer they dared to give would not have been acceptable to the wider Australian public. Please answer the questions Ms Foster and Minister - they concern the safety of my fellow Australians and it is not unfair, unkind or unjust for us to hold you to account for the decisions you take which affect us all. Simply put, we expect you to do the job that we taxpayers pay you to do.
