Still crazy after all these years 4 Apr 2008 Oh honestly! The Australian Federal Police are still investigating Haneef for terrorism even after their own incompetence and prejudice has been laid bare, and a Royal Commission is in train to investigate them. Really, it’s like J. Edgar Hoover only without the smarts and the dress. Anyone still think Chief Commissioner Mick Keelty shouldn’t be fired for either incompetance or corruption or both? Politics
Politics The wealthy are often sociopathic. Why? 15 Aug 201827 Feb 2019 I have been encountering, in these days of political “incorrectness” (i.e., bastardry), more and more well-to-do folk who treat other folk as if they were lesser beings. Ranging from stepping over homeless people (literally) to failing to give way when you drive a Korean car and they a European one… Read More
Censorship Internet filter pwn 10 Nov 2008 Read this article by Mark Newton. This gets murkier and sillier by the day. Late addition: From the comments at the linked site: As a young person ( 22 ) who has been brought up on the internet and as a ALP member myself working for a Labor State Govt…. Read More
It’s either disgraceful, or the AFP really does has some evidence that it’s with-holding for “national security”. Just a correction though – it’s a judicial enquiry, not a royal commission investigating the fiasco.

It’s really becoming a bit of a joke isn’t it? We’ve gotten to the point where a man can be targeted because of his race/religion (sorry ‘profiled’) and then exonerated and the AFP STILL feels the need to invade both his public and private life in what is an outward attempt to save face after their bungling efforts in the first place! Domestic terrorism may be the hot topic of the decade but truly it pales in comparison to (as you said) the incompetence and corruption of our senior officials. Australians are very good at chopping the head off the beast, as we did with Howard, but now it’s time to start hacking of the limbs and that means weeding out the Howard-era trash. Honestly a good excuse to rant is always appreciated John 🙂

Anyone still think Chief Commissioner Mick Keelty shouldn’t be fired for either incompetance or corruption or both? John Winston Howard, Late of Kiribilly. Kevin Andrews, Late of Sanity.
Anyone still think Chief Commissioner Mick Keelty shouldn’t be fired for either incompetance or corruption or both? If all incompetant or corrupt (I’ll add jobsworth) civil servants and/or politicians are sacked how many would we have left? I agree that this Chief Commissioner needs to be stopped, is it possible for Haneef to sue him for harassment. It seems to be that after a certain rank is achieved these people become untouchable.
