| Category: Rau The Bolta is back from holidays and yesterday he wrote a little about the Rau case. Included was this snippet: South Australia's public advocate, for instance, huffed on the ABC how he'd nagged the Immigration Department for two months to get help for Rau, but had "never dealt with such arrogant public servants". Only two days later did he confess he'd never personally contacted the department, because it was "pointless".and this astute observation The federal inquiry now prodding this case will – and should – find the faults that need fixing, although the chances of a second person turning up at a detention centre with a fake ID and demanding in a foreign voice to be treated as an illegal immigrant seem beyond remote. |
