Observe Closely

    Here we see the government in action. An Indian doctor working in Australia has a cousin who was involved in the recent failed bombing plot in the UK. He had, it seems, given his SIM card to said cousin and consequently was charged with providing support to a terrorist organisation.
    He was released on bail only to have his visa revoked on grounds of character. The Justice who granted bail has pointed out that he, himself, would fail this test. Thus, although he has been released on bail it looks like he will be awaiting trial in detention.

    Oh, but it turns out the SIM card in question was not found with the bomb as originally alleged. It is merely held by his cousin, who has apparently been charged with nothing more than not informing authorities of the plot.
    Even so, he faces deportation if acquitted.

This has not been fair. And Rudd didn't even have spine - I am disappointed. (But I can understand that he needs to be safe - he doesn't want to fall like Beazley did in 01).
