| Madness Takes its Toll | |
Catholic Priest
Tony Pearson from the Aboriginal Catholic Ministry has appealed to Phil
(keep-em-out) Ruddock on behalf of Qadir Fedayee, a mentally ill Afghan asylum seeker, on the
basis of his mental health. Apparently a mental illness is now grounds for becoming a refugee. All the healthy,
well adjusted but persecuted people in the world have to queue up behind the
mental retarded psychotics roaming around the third world. The people who may one day be able to support themselves, or even make a
positive contribution to Australia, are less
important than those who are likely to be a financial drain, or even threaten
other people's safety. Perhaps we could offer Saddam Hussein asylum in Australia on this basis?
Surely no sane person would commit those kind of atrocities against human
beings. This man needs help! Further, Father Tony Pearson insists that if Qadir got off the plane in
Kabul he would have no-one. Of course neither would Ali Baktiari, but that
didn't entitle him to asylum either. Of course if the Father Tony's rich multi-national employer - the Catholic
Church - were truly concerned, it could set up a mental hospital for these
people in Kabul and give them around the clock care. But I guess they are too
busy lobbying for the right to spend other people's money. Are these people crazy?
