Just watched the late night news. Not a good idea. The Dept of Immigration or one of those was explaining why they couldn't let a family come visit their grandchild whose mother had died giving birth The baby has muscular distrophy. The father is out here alone with the little one. But we are not allowing the family to come visit because they might sneakily stay here. One reason they might do that is that they are refugees in Quetta which the aforesaid dept deems so dangerous that the family might not want to go back.
Bad enough and shameful enough all round. THEN add to the miserable pernickety nature of this vile era - an AMERICAN is doing the speaking for the Department. An AMERICAN is explaining why we are not giving visitor's visas. Who the hell are you, Mr Foreign Spokesman. I am willing to lay money ( and I don't gamble) that you fly 'home' when you please. What a lousy place we are becoming.
Add to that, contact today with a lady who was washed out in the Brisbane flood and is now left stranded by the insurance companies, the charities etc - and I am suffering from a nasty taste in the soul tonight.
