Party host Jessica Woeltjes said that before Ben was stabbed "it was a pretty sweet night".

She said a group of about 20, believed to be aged between 14 and 18 and of African origin, tried to join the party before she and her partner turned them away.

"Four got into the backyard and my partner asked them to leave," she told 3AW.

"Without us knowing, they all turned around and went around the block and waited."

Jess said Ben and his friend then left the party to go for a walk around the block before the teenager was assaulted. His friend, a girl, dragged Ben back to the party, where Jess called the ambulance.

Jay,

That type of thing is happening all the time and much of the media does not care. The ABC refused to even mention that the gang was of African appearance. Can you imagine the media frenzy if the situation had been reversed, with a gang of 20 white guys stabbing a single black guy.

Its quite sad, so much for racism. The word is only used when whites are at fault.

Michael,

Now that our government has stopped the flow, what career course do you see for yourself in a couple of years time?

Surely you realise these issues you find so important now are 'mere' flea bites in comparison to the plight of the millions of refugees in camps all over this world. Have you ever considered pro bono work on the behalf of any of those unfortunates.

Don't you think it more important to gain entry and asylum, for them than it is to focus on making the circumstances of someone, who has already gained safety, more comfortable.

Ali is safe and could have, with a little more responsibility have waited before putting himself and others in the difficult position they all now find themselves. Surely as a responsible adult you wouldn't marry and start a family while you were in a position where you were unable to ensure the safety or support of a family. Nor do our traditions.
Why did Ali think our society mores would allow him to flaunt them and expect us to not express disapproval when he then turns around and asks us to fund his remedies?

And you think that behaviour should be defended? If one of my kids tried to marry while broke, unemployed and likely be incarcerated ... well the facts of life would be pointed out quite quickly. And if they went ahead they would be expected to clean up their own mess.
What is so special about Ali that he can behave in this manner and have the expectations be has?

But Imajulianutter,

You didn't consider the possibility that Ali married an Australian Millionaire and has no need for your money.

Most young men when they act responsibly in this country don't need my money nor do they grizzle when the muck up. In my world they take responsibility for themselves.

Why doesn't Ali?

Besides they are struggling financially and Michael has not denied his firm is being paid from taxpayers funds to represent Ali.

It isn't me or my money, I have plenty, but it is the average young couple struggling with three jobs, the cost of living and rent and trying to feed clothe and educate their kids.

Is it fair they are funding Ali's irresponsibility?
