ACTU calls for an inquiry into arrest of Australian footballer Hakeem Al-AraibiAustralia's peak body for workers has called on the government to establish an inquiry into the role of Australian authorities in Hakeem Al-Araibi's arrest in Thailand. I'm calling for an parliamentary enquiry into unions! This is what I seriously cannot understand. If the Red Notice initially applied for by Bahrain and acted on, then since withdrawn which was the reason for holding him in the first place. Surely there is a legal argument against his detention now the Red Notice has been withdrawn? Apparently union power is such a threat in Australia that the unions are powerless to do anything about Hakeem Al-Araibi.

Marise Payne says 'extensive efforts' under way for return of Hakeem Al-AraibiForeign Minister Marise Payne has stressed that Australia is making 'extensive efforts' to seek the return of a Melbourne-based soccer player as his detention in Thailand continues SaveHakeem Crap. Then why did she go to Thailand last week ? Shopping trip She could have brought him home with her then .. but nah .. another piss weak diplomatic effort there Is it a matter of national importance just because he plays football? What about the Brisbane family who are being deported after living here for decades with a home, business, children at school etc. The fact that they don't play sport does not make them less important.

'I pay taxes, I play football, I love Australia': Hakeem al-Araibi speaksThe refugee footballer from Melbourne, who has spent 63 days in a Thai prison, said he misses his wife and his home town but is quickly losing hope. If a Christian, blue eyed and white.........would have been home for sure by now. And...so he ought to. Paying taxes is a legal requirement. This country provides opportunities in relative safety, love it or leave it.

Scott Morrison intervenes in Hakeem al-Araibi caseExclusive: The Prime Minister Scott Morrison has written to his Thai counterpart emphasising the case was a matter of importance to him personally. Too little too late So? What about UNHRC protocols? You know ~ The ones ScottMorrisonMP doesn't give a shit for. So if the Thais relent to the pressures of their (much) bigger trading partner our PM is completely irrelevant on the world stage?

Morrison writes to Thai PM urging refugee footballer Hakeem Al-Araibi's releasePrime Minister Scott Morrison has intervened in the case of refugee footballer Hakeem Al-Araibi, who is facing extradition from Thai detention to Bahrain. Oh, it all makes sense now. This poor guy is going to suffer until just before the election when the hero ScoMo sets him free. Oh no, that means he will be sent to rot and eventually suicide on Manus. He is better off in Bahrain. Bet that took a bit of convincing with Peter.
