Home at Last

Dr Haneef arrived back home in India last night.
Our "Immigration"minister Kevin Andrews said that there was something suspicious about his wanting to leave the country so quickly. In other words the good doctor should have sat around without a job, without an income and without a trust in the Australian legal system to face the next round of court appearances.

Dr Haneef is 27, the same age as my eldest daughter.

If it had been her in another country I would want her to return safely as quickly as possible.

After over 3 weeks in gaol and detention, with a new baby yet to meet, with a strong but anxious wife waiting, why wouldn't he want to get the hell out of this place?

Goodbye, good luck and if we never see your face here again we will understand.


Why would you want to return to a country where you were helping the sick in hospital only to be 'arrested' because one of your distant cousins in Britain MAY have been involved in an attempted 'terrorist' attack.

Good, gentle doctor go softly into that good night and hug your baby for us.
