Thanks for the information you provided even though it is a disappointing outcome.
Many people, if they saw Omar this week, bandaged, stitches from his latest fall – inability to move freely – the violent coughing - depressed condition etc would question how much more difficult his life would have to be to reach 30 points.
A two day stay in PA hospital because his head needs stitching uses significant resources. It confirms my view, Omar needs a family carer, or, convincing he should return to Iraq if the Government believes a threat to his life and violent religious discrimination is no longer an issue.
Labor Governments set up expensive agencies(MHS/MSA etc) with power that, I believe, should be retained by the Parliament. Elected members should have an opinion about bureaucratic decisions that affect people’s lives.
All very well to tell a man in Omar’s (financial, physical and emotional) position to visit specialists and doctors to obtain opinions that would help him reach 30 points. How many expensive opinions will convince a bureaucrat to overturn the decision of his colleague?
There has to be a fairer way.
Are you willing to ask if Kevin has an opinion about Omar’s situation.
With the strong possibility that the Naru solution will be used by the Labor Government I hope that he would have an opinion about the experience of one detainee.
Does Kevin agree with the 30 point rule that prevents Omar, as an Australian citizen, from having a family member come to assist him?
Would your media team consider if some public attention via South East Advertiser would assist?
My efforts at attempting to help tell his story have been unsuccessful.
I thought the ACL forum (Make it Count) may have been relevant but no reply.
