Rarely has Labor’s doublespeak been so baldly exposed than this week. At the very same time that Anthony Albanese and his minions were blatherskiting about violence against women, yet another of the foreign criminals they turned loose on the Australian community bashed an elderly woman within an inch of her life. This was just the latest in a string of offenses the hundreds of paedophiles, rapists and murderers that Labor freed without any supervision at all.
To add insult to injury, Albo and Co are refusing to shoulder any responsibility for what they’ve done.
A freed immigration detainee was sentenced to eight years in prison for serious drug offences seven years before he allegedly bashed a cancer survivor and grandmother unconscious while on bail during a home invasion.
Kuwaiti-born Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan was convicted on two charges of attempting to possess prohibited drugs with “intent to sell or supply” in March 2017, before he was released as part of a cohort of about 150 non-citizens who had failed the character test to be granted a visa in November.
This means Doukoshkan was flagged for deportation under the Coalition’s toughened character test rules for more than six years before he was released.
‘Not our problem,’ says Labor.
On Wednesday, Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil refused to accept responsibility over the events that meant Doukoshkan was free on the day he allegedly took part in a vicious attack on grandmother Ninette Simons, 73, and her husband Philip, 76.
Two days before the alleged attack at their Girrawheen home on April 16, Doukoshkan was bailed after fronting a Perth court on fresh drug charges.
“(These are) a bunch of decisions that were made by state courts, usually with regard to state crimes,” Ms O’Neil told Channel 7.
Labor-governed states. And, in any case, the federal government could have opposed bail – which it didn’t. Something they subsequently lied through their teeth about.
The government has since admitted it had not argued against Doukoshkan being freed by the magistrates court in February, despite Communications Minister Michelle Rowland saying on Tuesday “bail had been opposed”. The government had previously said it had fought against Doukoshkan being granted bail.
But O’Neil is dodging the essential issue: the bad wog wouldn’t have even been free in the first place if the Albanese government hadn’t summarily turned him loose. Arguing that the High Court’s ruling forced their hand is a load of bollocks. Nothing in the ruling dictated that every single foreign detainee had to be set loose instantly. Labor were perfectly able to keep the foreign criminals under lock and key while it prepared its legislative response to the ruling. There was also nothing stopping the government imposing strict conditions, such as electronic monitoring.
It chose to do neither, and Australian women are paying the price.
Peter Dutton has attacked the Albanese government for not opposing bail when Doukoshkan fronted a WA court on charges of breaching his visa conditions. The Opposition Leader branded the decision an “outrage”, speculating that if he had been held on remand the alleged attack on Ms Simons may have been prevented […]
Doukoshkan […] was not required to wear an ankle monitor at the time of the alleged attack.
The Australian
Is anyone surprised?
Is anyone surprised, either, that Labor wants to treat Australians far more harshly than it ever would its precious ‘refugees’?
NSW Minister for Women Jodie Harrison said the state government was open to increasing the use of electronic monitoring of family and domestic violence offenders.
The Australian
If only they were prepared to do the same for the foreign criminals prowling the community.
If only Labor hadn’t set them free to prowl the community in the first place.
