GOING HOME

The Bakhtiaris have been booted:

Australia’s highest profile asylum seekers, the Bakhtiari family, are being deported, a federal government spokeswoman says.

“I can confirm that the removal is currently underway,” a Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA) spokeswoman said.

Ali and Roqia Bakhtiari and their six children are being deported to Pakistan, after failing in legal bids over four years to secure refugee status in Australia.

The family claims to be Afghani, but the government says they are from Pakistan.

It isn’t quite the straighforward he says/she says as described by the SMH. Ali Bakhtiari’s claims have repeatedly been revealed as bogus. Final proof that the family is, in fact, from Pakistan: Bob Ellis says they aren’t.

  1. Miranda Devine also comments; Bob Ellis writes well and needs some facts to counter his emotional plea.

  2. “[M]uderous Northern Alliance”.

    Of course.  They fought the noble Taliban and Al Qaeda, served at the side of the stormtroopers of Bushitler in his persecution of the noble Osama bin Laden, paved the way for a godless mob-rule democracy, and never nobly resisted evil by blowing themselves and innocent civilians into hamburger.  Murderous is exactly the word for them.

    There isn’t any way Australia can deport Ellis to Pakistan instead of the Bakhtiari family, is there?

  3. Yuck.  Can I go back and edit that?  Three uses of “noble/nobly”—they should take away my keyboard.

    Hmm.  On the other hand, I can just say I was parodying the stylistic . . . grace . . . of, say, Margo Kingston.  Yeah.

  4. With the money wasted on the bacteria family, it could rebuild a couple of small asian countrys.

  9. We can only hope the professional bleeding-heart I-love-illegal-non-citizens-and-
    I’m-ashamed-to-be-an-Australian lobby will now shut the fuck up. I include my elderly father-in-law in this. God, don’t they just get on your tit?

  13. Hey Why isn’t asylum funded by Charity, instead of Tax?

    That way lefties can give all the money they want to foreign parasites, and it won’t harm the economy (much).

    The rest of us can then choose our priorities.  As you can see from the private tsunami charity, when there is genuine need, there is genuine charity.

  14. UM… how much of a hunger strike is it with a scheduled ending?

  15. ABC still has the sad violins playing on AM this morning. Their report quotes defence lawyers as saying that they had “proof” that these people were from Afghanistan. The Pakistani records, on the other hand, are said to be so “unreliable” that assertions that the Bakhtiaris are from there must be viewed through a veil of doubt.
    Were’nt the stories about Afghan origins rather dubious? Was it not the case that the names of villages kept changing, and that nobody from those villages remembered them?
    Is it not the case now that returns to Afghanistan are happening anyway? Are the bleeding hearts really crying about a failed “illegal immigrant lotto” attempt?
    Given the problems associated with immigration in Britain, Germany, France and Holland, we should strengthen our defences, not water them down.

  16. on telli saw a group of elderly protestors holding vigil outside baxter detention centre in the middle of night in support of the baktiari frauds.

    they look lost and bewildered just like those moonbats in those sorry photos with the head tilt of compassion.

    it just shows how perverse and deviant these moonbats are because this was only a few days after the tsunami disaster when 100,000 people died and all their interested in is a few illegal immigrants trying to sneak into oz.

  17. From the letters section SMH

    I find it difficult to believe that even a carpenter from Pakistan could think that several years in detention, separation from wife and children, knowing that his wife was made to give birth surrounded by guards and then incarcerated in a motel away from her other children for nine months, was worth holding on to the “lie” that he was truly from Afghanistan when a confession would return him to his former life.

    Instead I find it more reasonable to think that Nicholas Poynder, barrister, has presented us with proof that the Bakhtiari family members have been the victims of mistaken identity and are indeed deserving of our compassion.

    Was Bakhtiari a victim of the legal profession or himself (or both)?  He certainly had more than his day in court; 20 failed legal actions were not enough to establish either his identity or credentials.

  18. rog,

    I think the score was 2 successful (The father’s initial one, and the family court one getting the kids out of detention) and 18 failures.
