Packer to be deported

[2217]

its heating up.

ORDINARY Kiwis could decide to boycott Australia in protest against the treatment of detainees, a party leader in New Zealand has suggested.
UNITED Future's Peter Dunne has criticised the Australian government for the "appalling" conditions under which New Zealanders are being held while they wait to be deported.

Hey dickhead, Burgess was being an idiot while Packer was not far away from killing someone.....big difference.

Hey dickhead, this is the Dragons' forum while you are a sharks' fan (akin to being a murderer)... so piss off.

Imitation is a sincere form of flattery. At least you won't beat me up like your Kiwi hero.

Oh, and he hasn't played in the Red V so not a Kiwi hero just yet.

Any team that has Gallen in it is lol worthy.

well you were comparing. not sure on all facts the terrorist fella ya mentioned is he still in gaol and isnt he an australian citizen?? i apologise if im wrong.

i wasn't comparing the situations just highlighting the inequity in the cases overall

 

[West coast dragon]

sorry mate i got him in the clink till november 2017 and a permanent resident. has he been released?

youre missing the point!like packer he wasn't born here so therefore should be deported as he had been found guilty of a crime and when he tried to leave wasn't allowed to!

FMD.
Change.org petitions can struggle to get taken seriously at the best of times. This one could do with some help in the grammar department and maybe a few more facts + better clarity.

Still, I'll sign... obviously

 

[saints4ever]

Was thinking the same re looking cheap. And I honestly don't see how petitions are supposed to work. If 30 ppl sign, he won't care, but 3,000 he will?
Still I signed

Well if that's the "rider" then why has Former Lance Corporal Ngati Kanohi Te Eke Haapu been detained and waiting to be deported, considering he's been charged with no crime and has served zero time (apart from his current unlawful detention)?

If you choose to buy the lines this Government is selling you then that makes me feel sad for you. It's clear that the minister has very flexible criteria when applying his "character test".

If this govt applied the same criteria to all kiwi's SE QLD would be 5,000+ or so people less. Laughable concept, it won't happen. This is nothing but a PR exercise by a pathetic govt. Packer will be fine.

Worry about the morals of your own club mate, as led by Captain drug cheating racist grub who abuses kids looking for an autograph.

Very good article in the Australian today by Brent Read. I quote, he has immersed himself in his rehabilitation. He has been every inch the model citizen. He has done exactly what the judicial system asked of him. Further, before minister Dutton makes a decision to deport Packer, he should read the judgement of the man who presided over the former NZs appeal.. He needs to talk to the NRL and St George Illawarra. Maybe, he needs to talk to the man himself. Mark my words he will walk away impressed. I did. Packer is intelligent, articulate and deeply committed to his family.
Last paragraph. The federal government is reluctant to make exceptions but one size doesn't fit all. Russell Packer is already making a difference. There's every chance he has already saved lives. Surely that carries some weight in the corridors of Canberra.
Very good article I think he will be ok?
