Protection Visas? Who's protecting us?

[imastawka]

A "glamorous" husband and wife are two of three people arrested as part of a drug bust in Hornsby yesterday.

The bust comes following an ongoing investigation into the movement of the drug ice in Sydney.

Searching the trio's homes in Hornsby and Asquith respectively, police reportedly found 36kg of methamphetamine, more than 100 phials of steroids, $260,000 in cash, luxury cars, and a cash counting machine.

The husband and wife have been identified as Iranian refugees, in Australia on temporary protection visas since 2013.

A short look through the couple's Facebook pages shows the pair were married in 2014 and now have two children.

The duo has been arrested and charged with supplying a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug and participating in a criminal enterprise.

The third individual has been charged as an accessory after the fact.

All three face court on Thursday.

Oh my!  Who would see that coming? .....

Straight for deportation regardless of current status. 

A Melbourne hospital dealt with 7500 violent attacks against it's healthcare workers last year.

Predominantly drug fuelled.

So because of these Iranian idiots, we have violence escalating all over Australia.

Imagine what Iran would do to this family if they were conducting a drug business there.

Quite a business they've established in under 4 years here.

Unfortunately, their two small children were born here.  They will be allowed to stay.

But will they?   Who is here to look after them?

and i bet they didnt tick the box on the aplication form

are you now or will you in the future become a drug importer and/or seller?

They managed to find the only loophole in our imigration policy!!

A good lawyer (a do-gooder) will get the parents off or at least allow them to stay in Australia because the kids are Australian and they are too young to look after themselves.

It has happened before and you can bet it will happen again.

Not so sure on this one as it appears they have been dealing in large quantities.

And if the children are very young, better chance of re-settling back in the middle east.

I think the prosecution will be throwing the book at this one.

Not all those busted are refugees though are they?

It's the refugee status that concerns me though.

They come here 'for a better life' and this is how they repay our government?

It's about time that a clause gets added to every visa stating that if they become involved in major crime/s then

they will not hold the Australian Government responsible when they get deported.

They need to have laws in place that carry an automatic deportion charge if they commit certain crimes.

Obviously they believe that they wont be deported as they are on a protection visa but the visa should be

cancelled and they should face deportation,(along with their children as they put them in this situation and they

can't blame anyone but themselves).
