The issue is not whether this Scott Morrison is a saint or a sinner, but how come the fate of the people of Biloela, including whom they can live with, is determined by foreigners in Canberra, 1200 kilometres away!
It is fine if this Morrison and his gang are not good Christians and are not happy to allow the family into Australia - they have a free choice, but they have no moral right to disrespect the free choice of the people of Biloela/Queensland and deny them the ability to choose their neighbours. This has nothing to do with the red-herring of whether or not the family are or can be defined as refugees. This Morrison, just like he says, does not owe the family any protection or welfare (nor are the people of Biloela/Queensland asking for it), but it does not mean that he can legitimately pluck them forcibly and so brutally from their community to pack up their lives in 10 minutes. If he wants, he could for example forbid them to leave Queensland or to become Australian residents/citizens, these could be set as conditions on their visa.

Good article Spencer.
Morrison and our faux Christians need to be called out on their hypocrisy. Posted by SteeleRedux, Wednesday, 4 September 2019 6:11:24 PM

Does Scott realize that the bible condones slavery?
If he supports the word of God means he also supports slavery then the Christians can volunteer, but count me out. How is going to be the slave owners? Big Business or parliamentarians. In either case would you trust them with your life? Posted by TheAtheist, Wednesday, 4 September 2019 7:39:23 PM

The legal process is far more respected by some when it puts away Catholic clergy.

I noticed something here that has commonality.
Quote>>It's quite clear if you look at the ministerial intervention guidelines, this case [of the Tamil family] meets those guidelines more clearly than the two au pair cases in which the minister [Mr Dutton] acted within hours," said Abul Rizvi, former deputy secretary of the Immigration Department<< Hmmm... I thought who the hell is this Abul Rizvi? http://www.hindustantimes.com/world/india-born-in-immigration-system/story-I5uh63HuHiZvD12z0jMAdM.html "In 1989, Australia was the second country in the world to adopt a points-based immigration system. The man who spearheaded the Australian system is the Indian-born Abul Rizvi, a deputy secretary in the Australian government's immigration agency." So what you did Spencer, was use an immigrant to bolster a pro-immigrant argument. You know whats in common with that and you religious folks? You evangelicals will try to back up one piece of scripture with ever more scripture, just like you used the opinion of an immigrant to bolster your pro-immigrant argument. I think it's kind of dumb, and by chance I just happen to be part of the 'war against stupid', so I though I'd let you know. Posted by Armchair Critic, Thursday, 5 September 2019 3:01:33 AM

Virtue signalling is all well and good when others have to pick up the tab! And always thus with this cohort, be they belligerent greens trying to enforce their will by being a tail that wags the dog, or bible bashing control freaks who know the mind of God!?
If religious freedom had to stand up to the same reality check as racial discrimination and vilification laws!? Some of the things espoused in the name of Christian belief? Wouldn't be able to be said, least not without being tested in a court of law.
This couple broke our fair and just laws and have exhausted, for them, every legal avenue to redress their unenviable situation and at our expense tying up our courts etc, in the convoluted process!
Enough already! Want to resettle here? Then follow the lead of others and come in the front door as invited guests! End of story!
