Govt, police 'let off the hook' Haneef inquiry

Australia holds grudges against the Howard Government and corrupt police and officials. Doctor Mohamed Haneef says he will seek compensation for false imprisonment, [assault] and defamation after he was arrested on [scapegoat-propaganda] charges.

An [alleged] independent inquiry by retired NSW judge John Clarke QC has found no evidence to link Dr Haneef to the [alleged] attempted terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow which led to his arrest in July 2007.

Dr Haneef says he is satisfied by the Clarke report's findings.

"This report will go some way to restoring the reputation of me and my family," he said.

In his report, Justice Clarke said he was "mystified" by former immigration minister Kevin Andrews' decision to cancel the Indian-born doctor's visa after he was granted bail. The case against Dr Haneef later collapsed and the charges were dropped.

The inquiry found that Mr Andrews did not reflect deeply enough on his department's advice, but his decision was not politically motivated and he did not act improperly.

[Why didn't Andrews act improperly by going about denying his own departments advice? Therefore, self-explanatory that his decision was politically motivated, more likely than not, for his then boss John Howard and therefore he did act improperly. So the general public ought not be satisfied as they are told more lies and white washed about an ex-minister and totally corrupt Howard government propaganda.]

Justice Clarke also called for an independent reviewer to be appointed to oversee Australia's anti-terrorism laws, and for changes to the way the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Immigration Department operate.

The report found that the Australian Federal Police commander who led the investigation, Ramzi Jabbour, had "lost objectivity" and the senior prosecutor, Clive Porritt, gave advice that was "obviously wrong and should never have been given".

The AFP refused to say whether Commander Jabbour still worked for the force. The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions would not say whether Mr Porritt was still working, though he was effectively demoted last year.

The report also includes damaging insights into the handling of the case by two senior Howard government cabinet members, Kevin Andrews and Philip Ruddock.

The report says Mr Ruddock, the then attorney-general, failed to question the fundamental differences between the AFP's and ASIO's assessments of Dr Haneef, even though he had responsibility for both agencies - a shortcoming that "might be viewed as troubling". And it concludes the effort to oversee the affair by the Prime Minister's Department was "affected by misconceptions and miscommunication".

Dr Haneef says he does not hold resentment towards any particular person or government agency.

"I mean, whatever any wrong that has been done, definitely the Government should take a proactive role and should address them," he said.

The Federal Government says it will implement all 10 recommendations from the judicial review.

But Treasurer Wayne Swan says the Government will need time to consider the issue of compensation for Dr Haneef.

"It's too early to judge all of those matters," he said.

"The Clarke report is out there for people to comment on and make judgements about, but it's too early to be talking compensation."

Poor treatment

Dr Haneef's lawyer, Peter Russo, says the Clarke report should remove any doubt that his client was poorly treated by authorities.

"How the Australian public perceive all of this is difficult to say, but I hope that the doubters out there now know that Mohamed had done nothing wrong," he said.

The Clarke report found there was poor co-ordination between intelligence and police agencies, but Attorney-General Robert McClelland says none of the agency heads will be asked to step down.

"We don't adopt the view of life that you execute one to educate a thousand," he said.

[This was more than poor co-ordination - this was fabricated propaganda using scapegoats and supposed witches, to continue to bolster support and quell dissent in the illegal and degrading resource wars in the Middle East.

This was a corrupt government and its police agency creating their own crimes and fear-mongering based on nothing accept John Howard’s agenda. Heads should roll and one of those heads has to be Mick 'Guilty' for covering up pre-meditated state-terror and over a number of years during the John Howard corrupt government.

ASIO and the Federal Police blatantly lied to the Australian people and worse still will do it again if nothing is done about it. Why don't we adopt a view that there are bad apples who are all too willing to do a dirty governments bidding?]


Meanwhile, Queensland Health Minister Stephen Robertson says Dr Haneef would be welcome to work in the state again.

"Dr Haneef's qualifications were appropriate to his position at the Gold Coast Hospital," he said.

"If he sought to return to Queensland, there, in our view, is no barrier to him resuming his career in Queensland should he wish to apply for a position with Queensland Health."

Professor George Williams from the University of New South Wales says the report should have urged the Government to completely scrap provisions allow continuing detention.

"Instead of recommending that that be changed, that the law not actually have an unlimited period of detention, it simply says that that should be reviewed, thereby leaving it up to the Government to make its own decision and not presenting the Government with a clear mandate for change," he said.

"It needed to go further in recommending changes to the law. It needed also to deal in a better way with some of the problems in the decision to cancel Dr Haneef's visa."

The Greens says the Government has failed to hold police and intelligence agencies to account for their mishandling of the case.

Greens Senator Scott Ludlum has [said] no-one is taking responsibility for errors.

"I think it's absolutely extraordinary, given the scale of the successive bungles that were made, some obviously politically motivated and some perhaps not, I think it's really extraordinary that no-one, that at the end of the day, the buck seems to stop with no-one," he said.

The Greens say the Federal Government is risking another bungled investigation like the Haneef case unless counter-terrorism laws are overhauled immediately.

Senator Ludlum says it's extremely likely the same thing wil happen again unless changes are made.

"In Australia under Prime Minister John Howard, we passed some of the most aggresive and draconian terror laws in the world," he said.

"It's really no surprise that what happened to Dr Haneef was able to occur. And as long as all those laws are still on the books there's nothing to stop the same happening again to anybody."

Mr McClelland said the arrest and detention of Dr Haneef for longer than allowed was "totally unacceptable" and followed failings that included "errors of judgment … inadequate procedures … inadequate testing and contesting of competing advice … lack of attention identifying the role of different agencies … and lack of appropriate training and direction from the leadership of several agencies".

Updated 2009


The house raids are 'fishing expeditions of suburbs'. Their objective is to find as much common handyman hardware, common internet and reading material, or anything that they can use as a conspiracy theory against a person. And to claim that material was going to be used for terrorist activity. But if police raid a whole suburb without probable cause then no doubt they could easily find such material. They don't need 'probable cause'. In other words they don't need to state what it is they're looking for prior the raid? Nor why they are raiding etc...

Quote: Any corrupt head of state, like ex-Prime Minister and War Criminal John Howard. Or Minister of any government of the crown like ex-Attorney General Philip Ruddock and ex-Immigration minister Kevin Andrews. Or Police force heads of ASIO or the AFP, officer's that bent the law for any other head of state, like the fall guy for Mick Guilty, Commander Ramzi Jabbour and fall guy for the Howard government, DPP prosecutor Clive Porritt - like corrupt war criminal John Howard - should be identified as a traitor to the Australian people and tried for their crimes.

These are all people who could have potentially covered-up, or made up tall stories and some will say did cover up for the Howard government's complicity in state terror.

The real reason for hundreds of other deaths. Deaths identified as from other causes that were (not valid reasons given because of discrepancies in the evidence that suggests other reasons about why they died) like those deaths in the Bali Bombings and the Sieve X.

So when these ministers and police are identified as having lied to the Australian people or acted improperly then they should be held to account for it and not just brushed aside like nothing happened.

How many more lies did ex-ministers and police tell the Australian people about the alleged war on terror? (war on resources in the Middle East). How many innocent people, scapegoats and witches are locked up for it now? How many more will be locked up for it later? All the Australian people want is the truth, Now!
