Thanks Alinta. I was going to list some individually but there are too many.

Anyone with violent convictions - OUT
Anyone with sexual convictions - OUT
Anyone with serious drug offences - OUT
Anyone who lied on their visa application - OUT
Anyone on a DSP - CUT OFF

KRYSTAL TRIKILIS
She appealed against the decision not to grant her Palestinian husband a partner visa so he could join her in Sydney. Her husband, identified by the AAT only as Mr Khalil, was convicted in an Israeli military court of being a member of the Islamic terrorist group the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade and “conspiracy to cause intentional death”. The court jailed him for 34 months. Mr Khalil was accused of making and planting a bomb and attempting to recruit a suicide bomber. He admitted lying on his application to migrate to Australia by not declaring his convictions. - And we accepted him here? Unbelievable!

If someone lied on their visa application to get here and then murdered and raped one of your own you would be perfectly happy to pay for their incarceration here with your tax dollars Brian?

Sorry, I wouldn't! Not a chance!

Here's an example of why I always prefer to read official documents.....
AAT transcript BO.........it set the Minister's decision aside and remitted it for further consideration. I can find nothing later that indicates the Minister has made any further decision and am of the view that Mr Khalil has never arrived in Australia.
