There is a Russian asylum seeker who blew the lid on the corruption within the top levels of the Russian government but now looks like getting deported even though the tribunal accepted the danger he and his wife fear “is real”.

He had been the source for this Foreign Policy story about the Russian Deputy PM.

Our government's hardline stance on asylum seekers has become absolutely shameful and absurd.

Are we that beholden to foreign interests that we can no longer give sanctuary to people like this?

A “Mr.Stride” and his Russian wife came from Britain to seek asylum from Russian in Australia! Come of it!

His application was rejected in 2012. Since then, his application has been rejected by “successive immigration ministers”, and the bugger is still here whining and costing us money.

A more unworthy and ridiculous claim for asylum - on a par with other people who head for Australia from a place where they could have had asylum (if Stride's name is anything to go by he is probably a Pom anyway) - could not be imagined.

SR even rants have a right to be seen
But no right to be treated other than as they are, yes your point is true we are under this mob a weak country
See Australian refugee footballer being held after our filthy police informed on him

One day BELLY you might just need the 'filthy' police!

Belly Not if but when you get in trouble one day in the future and need help who will you call? ** Rhetorical question **

You mean the same tribunal that kept Australia from deporting a refugee for 7 years.
