How our agencies failed us

What weak fools pandered to the irrational demands of radical Muslim Man Monis in the years before he went berserk and laid siege to the Lindt café?

 

If Australian authorities had done their jobs he would not have been in the country, or at least he would have been in jail.

 

But instead, as the inquest into the Martin Place siege has heard this week, he was indulged beyond belief, starting with the refugee status he was granted in 2000, despite his claims of persecution in Iran being “almost certainly a fiction”.

 

He was given a private citizenship ceremony for bogus “security reasons”.

 

After he accused Customs officials of “targeting” him when he used the airport, he was given a private tour of their facilities to placate him.

 

When he wrote vile letters to the grieving families of soldiers killed in Afghanistan, he received a gentle admonishment from a police officer.

 

When he finally was charged, and convicted six years later, he was given a joke sentence of 300 hours’ community service.

 

Australian tolerance was stretched beyond reason as Monis escalated his demands and his sense of entitlement grew. In every case, authorities took the cowardly path of least resistance.

 

But, if it were up to his fellow Muslim, lawyer Haset Sali, Monis never would have been allowed into the country.

Have no fear, gov't agencies are out there looking after our interestests and keeping us safe. Yeah, sure.

 

Why no mention of the abject failures of our agencies; the ones paid to keep us safe.

 

I'm sure if Monis said he was being followed by little green men he would have been granted a security detail.
