Avenues for ministerial intervention in case of Mr Duong misrepresented
Friday, 17 January 2014


'As advised to media reporters yesterday, I have no legal authority to intervene in Mr Duong's case. There is no application currently before my department from Mr Duong or any decision of the Migration Review Tribunal presented to me for intervention.

'I am disappointed that these facts were not included in media reports on this issue, in particular the ABC, creating the impression that I had refused to intervene and that I and the government were insensitive to both the horrific attack suffered by Mr Duong and the issues raised by his supporters.

'To maintain a fiction of possible intervention in this case, by omission or otherwise, cruelly raises false hopes for Mr Duong and those who have provided advocacy on his behalf.

'As minister I have to deal with the facts of any immigration case, not the sentiment.

'I do not have the discretionary powers implied through media reports on this issue. To suggest that I have chosen not to intervene is incorrect and misrepresents the situation.

'Departmental records indicate that Mr Duong's visa was valid until 15 March 2013. Correspondence between the department and clients are archived as a matter of practice and our records clearly show the date of visa expiry as 15 March 2013, not 2014 as claimed.

'We are not speculating as to how Mr Duong's email has a different time, and my department is taking further steps to investigate the discrepancy.

'Mr Duong departed Australia on January 8 as an unlawful non-citizen since his last student visa expired on 15 March 2013. He currently does not have a valid visa to return to Australia, nor does he have a pending application with the department either onshore or offshore.

'My department at our consulate in Ho Chi Minh City has been in contact with Mr Duong and is available to assist him in how best to put forward an application that could permit his return to Australia, subject to satisfying the requirements of the relevant visa.

'Individual immigration matters are often complex and their management must follow the procedures and requirements set out in the Migration Act and associated regulations and procedures.

'To misrepresent the management of such cases and the position of the government, or myself as Minister, is unhelpful both to the handling of the person's case and communication with the potential applicant.'

Who would have thought that the ABC plays gotcha journalism by deliberately misrepresenting the facts to cause political damage.

while what they are doing is wrong it is not evidence of "taking sides"

No-one but a dyed-in-the-wool Rightard.

Adel's threads are becoming more and more inane by the day.

It's a shame, he used to be a credible poster. Now he's just another Deathridesahorse.

What a belting, a couple more kicks to the head and he could have ended up a lefty, did they get the c*nts that did it?

Another mistake or just tough luck???

I've always found that if an individual behaves himself on the street, he doesn't attract attention so to get himself chased and shot.

In any case Morrison and Abbott simply obey the laws put in place long ago so why are you attacking them?

You reckon your Labor heroes (Rudd and Gillard) would have acted different? On the other hand the last two mentioned hadn't a brain between them so who knows what they would have done in these circumstances?

Problem is that too many oddities turn up in this country who haven't a clue on how to behave.

And I am asking - what is it evidence of, then?

Because  think it is is evidence of taking sides  Deliberate misrepresentation of the facts.

ABC News is not some online chat forum, you know. Not with a $1 billion + budget.

Are we confronted by an armada of boats Labor style? I don't freaking think so....keep going Morrison you are doing the job the people of this Country voted for you to do!

They sure did, the shrill minority would have you thinking the whole country hates Morrison, the shrill left have a voice completely out of all proportion to their real numbers.    ;D

Nahhh, just on forums and some media.  The majority of people applaud stopping the boats.  Even other reffos. 

Even Rudd figured it out belatedly after opening the floodgates.
