I'm interested in the forum's thoughts on this.
Allegedly (I have to say that because it is before the courts in Australia) a Volkswagen van in Iraq was called upon to stop by Australian Soldiers. It did not, or was slow to do so.
The Australian Diggers opened fire. The van stopped. When approached it was found the van did not contain terrorists but an Iraqi family who were badly injured.
The Government repatriated them to Australia and gave them a visa and the full resources of our medical system.
Now using funding provided by the Australian tax payer they are suing the Government for compensation. the story is here
Iraqi family sues Australia over diggers.
Now I am unashamedly a right wing red, neck, ex Army Officer, so I am a little biased. But if I were in control, which some of you will think thank God he is not, I would put them on the first plane back to Iraq.
Your thoughts gentlemen?
