Over several decades, Hong Lim has been scarred watching the brutal horrors of conflict happening in his home country of Cambodia.
The Khmer Rouge was in power from 1975 to 1979 and was responsible for one of the worst mass killings in history, with about two million people killed. Mr Lim has been a vocal critic of the regime and has received threats of violence from Cambodian officials, but it has not stopped him from speaking out.
In 2008, Mr Browder’s former lawyer Sergei Magnitsky uncovered $230 million worth of fraud committed by Russian government officials.“He’d still be alive today if he hadn’t been my lawyer and I feel a total responsibility to go after the people who killed him and to make sure he has a legacy and his legacy is the Magnitsky Act,” Mr Browder told SBS News.
If Australia were to pass such a bill it would be the fourth country of the ‘Five Eyes’ alliance to do so, and Mr Browder argues it’s a"no brainer". “It is a way of saying ‘here is a line in the sand, we are putting this line down, if you try to cross it… we will not give you a sucker to be here’,” she said.“The Cambodian regime, they still threaten members of the Cambodian diaspora here in Australia … I think it's very important for those communities to feel that and this is an instrument we can have here to ensure that Australians do feel safe.
That would no doubt mean many Israelis who have committed war crimes against innocent Palestinians. Might be a good idea to review the past activities of those already residing here, and if they are found guilty send them to the ICC.
Previsions in the current migration act cover for that kind of people. Even if they lie about their background they can be deported.
Would've thought it was already the case. Any examples ?
What about Oz citizens like Peter Dutton?

John Barilaro considers running in Eden-Monaro | Sky News AustraliaNSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro is considering running in the Eden-Monaro by-election with polling indicating he would be in a competitive position to claim the seat.\n\n“If there is an opportunity to do something on the federal political landscape, I’ve been quite vocal on a number of those issues, I’ll give that a lot of consideration, we’ll look at the research, we’ll look at polling,” Mr Barilaro said.\n\n“More importantly, I’ve got to talk to those that this impacts, and that’s what I’ll do this weekend at the farm.”\n\nLabor MP Mike Kelly announced his decision to step aside on Thursday for health reasons.\n\nIf Mr Barilaro contests the seat it could set up a three-way competition between Labor, the Liberals and the Nationals, triggering speculation he could overthrow federal Nationals Leader Michael McCormack if he wins.\n\nMr Barilaro said no offer of leadership has been made but Mr McCormack’s stewardship has been a concern among the Nationals. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia JohnBarilaroMP Why bother when you are not endorsed by Albo.

Resigns from state govt and then loses to Kristy McBain who spent the summer managing the bushfire crisis while this pumpkin was holidaying in Europe. Priorities. This bloke is only ever in it for himself.

Energy operator wants to remotely switch off rooftop solar systems amid 'uncontrolled growth' - ABC NewsAustralia's electricity grid operator wants the authority to remotely switch off new rooftop solar systems in SA in order to manage their 'invisible and uncontrolled' growth.
