One Nation (NSW Division) Media Release - 14/9/2006
ONE NATION WANTS TO KNOW WHAT SECURITY CHECKS LONG TERM OVERSEAS STAYERS
IN THE MIDDLE EAST GO THROUGH WHEN THEY RETURN
According to the Daily Telegraph of September 13th, 4000 Lebanese Australian Citizens have come back to Australia because of the recent war with Israel.
Many have been away for years.
One Nation wants to know what security checks these people underwent before they were allowed back in.
We can answer our own question and say "none".
An Australian passport is a free ticket to get back into the country, but in the times we live in it should not be taken as a security pass.
If they have been away for so long it stands to reason some could have become Hezbollah supporters or sympathisers or could have even fought with Hezbollah.
What better cover for a terrorist here than to be totally legal and to have all the rights of an Australian Citizen?
The State Government has been lambasted for giving these people a fast track to welfare, as was also exposed in the Telegraph, but the Federal Government also stands condemned for their laxness in enforcing border protection.
Let's face it, for all their talk, some of our Federal Ministers wouldn't really know what border security was if they tripped over it.
