Re: Biting the hand that feeds you/shot you.

I suspect the unfortunate outcome will be a sizable compensatory judgment in their favor, paid for by the Australian taxpayer. Undoubtedly, they will have a convincing attorney who will paint a sympathetic picture of disadvantage, suffering, mistreatment by both Iraqi and Australian authorities, etc. which will sway a jury or judge into believing that the world owes them something (in this case $$) and Australia can afford to pay for it.

The world is a crazy place and when something unfortunate happens it's not always somebody else's fault.
