But Debra they had documentation to get into Indonesia and then destroyed them before taking a risky boat trip. Why?
I have heard that some destroy their papers but I've never heard that they all do it
where did you hear that they ALL do that??
really all this is way OT anyway, the point is that the immigration minister told the public a whole lot of rubbish and should be held accountable for being so dishonest
Some need to get fake papers to escape their home country. They then have to destroy those papers before arriving here so they qualify to apply for asylum.
Doctor Al Muderis joined the Reserve to thank Australia. And, to offer his
orthopaedic robotic limb surgical skills to the ADF; thus adding to Australia’s
orthopaedic capabilities for use in both developed and under-developed
countries.
SQNLDR Al Muderis SR, shared his story with the Editor …
‘I’d graduated as a doctor from Baghdad University about two years before
the Hospital shooting – a murderous act that occurred within minutes of the
Iraq military ordering doctors to cut the ears from three bus loads of Iraqi
deserters. The doctor’s murder was simply to get our attention’.
‘Soldiers herded us forward to conduct the heinous act of surgery. A gap
in surveillance enabled some of us to flee the scene. I hid in a toilet block
and lost contact with the others’.
‘I headed for Jordon knowing that Iraqi intelligence officers
may not be far behind’.
‘I could hear soldiers searching room-to-room calling for doctors who
couldn’t be accounted for – my heart was pounding – my stomach was
churning – then came a moment of silence. I seized the opportunity to run
through the Hospital corridors to the outside world; I kept running until deep into the outer suburbs of Baghdad’.
‘I knew that there was no turning back!’
Doctor Al Muderis became a moving target as he travelled 100km across
country to the old family home, west of Baghdad. He contacted his mother,
Kamila Al Turck through relatives. His father, Abdul Razak, an Iraqi Supreme
Court Judge passed away in 1995.
SQNLDR Al Muderis said, ‘My mother was very distressed because Iraqi
intelligence officers had already been at the house looking for me’.
‘Mother quickly arranged for documentation that showed my profession as a
tradesman – she fed me – I rested – she gave me money and kissed me
goodbye’.
‘I then fled into the darkness. My dream to become an orthopaedic robotic
limb surgeon was under threat, as was my life ’.
Eventually he found his way to Australia, by boat from Indonesia.
well my answer to the house "invader" would be - off topic, now would you like coffee or tea with an iced vo vo.
