Bullshit DavidColemanMP

How many days or months waiting time for Rahaf “progressing” mean?

I reckon she took one one look at how incompetent the Australian government is and thought. ....'Yeah, nah. I would prefer to freeze my arse off in Canada',

Ha DavidColemanMP progressing at snails speed, usual Aust Govt stuffup! Can you explain how it takes a matter of hours to allow au pairs to enter country (illegally with Peter Dutton’s assistance) but you were absolute days for a vetted UNHCR refugee before Canada stepped in?

More bull shit

Embarrassed by these bastards again; we are now a redneck backwater internationally recognised as racists and willing to sell someones soul to be murdered in return for a trade deal or an arms deal.

Translation 'Australia would have accepted this 5th columnist in due time, but the UNHRC felt they could expedite their plans of destroying the West if she went to Canada'

Channel9 see? You can't 'snub' an offer that doesn't exist.

Clearly then, he need to learn from the Canadians and streamline our system so we can accept her more quickly.

Progressing at a snail's pace. If nothing else it shows DavidColemanMP as head of an inefficient department.

Progressing as fast as John Howard's turd after he forgot to eat prunes.

Who gives a stuff? She's been granted asylum. Case closed

At least she won't have an address on Manus or Chrissy Island. She will probably have a chance at a much happier life than the one she would have received from us. Thanks to Justin Trudeau. A true Humanitarian.

What? DavidColemanMP lying again. Never.

Aust Gov was completely Useless in this case.

Sounds a bit like Australia will do anything to help refugees, as long as it doesn’t mean actually helping refugees.

So Coleman and the pm are the ones to challenge.

More BS from Morrison’s liberals

Preference for Canada - that would be news to Rahaf! Australia had no intention of 'progressing her case'.

I’m sure it was...

What does it matter ? She got what she wanted ! World attention and fast tracked to a western country of her choice in the end it seems . She found a way to jump the que and now somehow we’re the bad guys ! Omg when will we ris ourselves of these weak as piss leftie jounos

🤮 after six days

Funny; I saw an interview where she was disappointed that it wasn’t OZ. Do you think lying now helps you? trickle of information will continue and we will all eventually know that it was because you were too slow; Done pretty quick when there’s an Au Pair waiting at the airport

Had she been just a regular refugee like those waiting patiently in refugee camps, would her plea to be resettled happen so quickly?

Progressing into his trash can without even a look...

This sounds a lot like bullshit

Actually the UNHCR took ÄUSTRALIA off the options list for RAHAF obviously knew how she would have been treated by the government once she got to Australia

By progressing, does he mean they were waiting for a place to become available on Manu or Nauru?

Immigration ran dead on it to delay any decision

Progressing? In the context of our refugee record that means the beginning of years long process (unless she was an aupair). Giant fail by this incompetent and bigoted govt. UNHCR and Rahaf made the right call. auspol Rahaf

This Government is a joke!

Wasn’t she travelling on a valid Australian visa ? or have I got that wrong ?

Bit slower than for an “au pair” entering illegally what’s that about? PeterDutton_MP

Defend defend. That’s all these people seem to do

Bet if it’s for au-pairs, it’d have “progressed” in 24 hours, hey isn’t that right DavidColemanMP PeterDutton_MP? 😂

Look at all the sooks desperate to blame the Australian government for everything. She wanted to go to Canada. Get over it.

Yeah....nah this government had no interest in processing her claim dragging their feet despite her dire circumstances shameful

This government is woeful. Can’t wait to kick them out.

Now we will expect more cases similar to hers coming up very soon. Except they will be very good organised

Refugee = person seeking refuge in the closest country in which will be safe. Not the one selected for better life. Something is not quite right here, but the true story will never be known.

Better welfare?

Skye news = fake news

Spot on, she asked to go to Canada

DavidColemanMP 'Progressing' Really? How long did you expect her to wait in the hotel, 5 years? Canada processsed her application in a day, what does that say about your diligence and efficiency?

fuiste demasiado lento porque eres un partido político racista

There is nothing about this LNP Morrison Govt that works.

If she was white and Christian, Morrison would have sent a jet to pick her up...

American Cowardice:

Translated: arms deals to Saudi trumps a young womans life. auspol

Should've chosen Australia

David ... I'm sure you and Spud breathed a sigh of relief. Better to give centrelink handouts to fat arsed white folk than refugees especially brown coloured ones and apparently a mossie even though she renounced it.. hey?

Progressing. Very, very, very, very, very slowly.

Yeah it's called Dragging Your Feet, Dave 🙄

Yeah....progressing like the poor people on our concentration camp islands

Nobody cares.

I hear the benefits in the Rothschild controller Canada are very generous. For any person country shopping, you’d choose them for sure.

Bullshit

Of course they were surprised. Australia was progressing - on it's usual schedule of a few years.

I say BS auspol LNPfail

UHNCR deemed her a refugee after interview, family background etc was all well known. Already had been given a visa for OZ. (Recinded only when she sought asylum) What processing was required? Would have thought a decision was all that was required.

Rubbish. Fence sitting is the only thing this government can be credited with.

she is lucky to go to Canada over Oz..all we are here is racists assh*les that demonise the poor and POC Nazis

AlistairPDBain Oh, it was such a hard decision to make - who knew what deep terrorist plotting may have lain in that girl's heart?! Or what vile racist rats would have deserted the sinking LNP ship - for Morrison today, every rat counts. auspol

AUSTRALIANS DONT WANT HER

You should remember Trudeau’s Canada has an open door policy for non-white, non-Christian, so labelled “refugees” and/or asylum seekers. Just saying.

It seems there’s only efficient process for white au pairs. Tell the real story you propaganda shonks.

Try google there are messages with her saying Australia was too slow and she feared for her life... DavidColemanMP = useless auspol

She was safe in Thailand. I’m glad Australia spent the extra time. We don’t want to become like Canada.

LOLOLOL LiberalAus 'progressing'... LOLOL auspol

Au Pair

As she is entitled to do.

There is nothing to defend ffs glad she went to Canada

Australia is racist AND incompetent. SenatorWong for Home Affairs

Under LiberalAus The_Nationals government..why would any sane human choose Australia. afp Dobbing in visa holders to have them sent back. PeterDutton_MP threatening her at every qt dorothyDixers dogwhistle good job JustinTrudeau Canada ScottMorrisonMP is useless.auspol

Good on you Australia. Let them know there is a process. Canada, your welcome.

shootcutdrop 😕

Glad she is not coming to Australia. She has no skills to offer Australia and would likely stay on welfare for a long time.

The diffence on immigration between Australia and Canada is down under and poles apart.

Yeah the application was progressing on the 99 day plan, Canada took one day....Hopeless.

Remind me again how long it took to process the life threatened au pairs?

Made to look like the awful gulag running country we are on the world stage, another Dutton🥔stuff up auspol

Yeah rite. I heard PeterDutton_MP said No. auspol

If you don't really want to do something then taking your time works well.

RodBamberry Progressing? Go slow, you mean. Coleman trumped himself with his own incompetence. Useless. A snail would move faster & be much more efficient.

She's probably better of in Canada at the moment at least. Who would want to come to a country full of Blair Cottrells, Pauline Hansons, Fraser Annings and Peter Duttons?

Another country shopping refugee who will go back to Saudi on holidays when she gets issued with a Canadian passport

'Preference' really? Setting a precedent for all 18yo teenagers worldwide ...congratulations

I read this and thought great news she has a real shot at safety and happiness, then read the 99.9% negate comments below none concerned with her or what she wanted just negative shot taking - Australia is now a bunch of whinging, soy drinking , virtue signaling aholes

Who cares she’s only another country shopper. We don’t need her here.

Don’t talk crap 😖

Are we supposed to take in every bleeding heart

Sure it was. 😙

If only she was an aupair!

Just another benefit country shopper

Deflected issue from Dutton- now Coleman has to answer for Dutton’s stupid comments - bet he was thrilled to have to do that

Probably would have transferred her to Nauru once she landed in Australia.

Lol!

As was her right. Australia is no longer viewed as safe for any refugees thanks to our incompetent excuse for Govt

Well it didn’t ‘progress’ fast enough did it?

She was country shopping, amazing how all the looney left think it was our government which inhibited her resettlement here. Take the blinkers off and ditch your retarded idiotically based bias!

Let that be the end of it, then.

Who in Australia lied to Thailand that there was an Interpol red notice applicable to Hakeem? freehakeem

Okay move on. All this is proving is how far to the left Sky News has moved. When are Peta, Andrew and Rowan coming back? chriskkenny is fighting a lone battle against the forces of leftie terrorism.

All those virtue-signalling points gone begging! Straight onto their welfare, straight onto tinder, you go girl.

That’s right, she actually requested Canada. Right after being thrilled about heading to Australia. I’m curious as to what changed her mind? Couldn’t be the weather?

David Coleman, like the rest of this Abbott Turnbull Morrison government, thinks we are all dumb.

Don’t believe you DavidColemanMP

whats to ‘defend’? is it a race to see whi can grant asylum fastest? how many other nations were in the race?

We all know he’s about as intelligent as a piece of sticky tape, so really, are we that surprised? Auspol

We don't have to defend anything. We dodged a bullet, be very thankful. 🇦🇺

That Immigration minister David Coleman is another scum bag, they take too long to do anything, absolute Moron. Any wonder the Liberal party is sinking into the abyss. Peter Dutton and him make a good pair. Looses.

We’ll never get the truth from an L N P government

Saudi teen snubs Australia and flies to Canada insteadThe 18-year-old Saudi woman who fled to Thailand to escape her allegedly abusive family has been granted asylum in Australia, according to a Thai immigration official. In fact I don't think from all reports that she had even been offered asylum by Australia!?🤔 She might feel she would be accepted there more. I’d be inclined to agree given the current treatment of anyone seeking asylum or even if your heritage is different. Her choice, as long as she is safe.

Govt under fire over handling of Saudi teen’s asylum request | Sky News AustraliaThe government is under fire over its delayed handling of a Saudi teenager’s asylum request to come to Australia. \n\nThe delay in processing the request saw the teenager being granted asylum in Canada, not Australia. \n\nThe 18-year-old who was detained at a Bangkok airport while fleeing her family out of fear they would kill her for renouncing Islam, has left Thailand on a flight bound for Canada.\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his country understands how important it is to stand up for women's rights. \n Why are we all talking about this? She's going to Trudeau. Under fire from who? No one cares she’s gone move on. So our government failed to virtue signal as fast as the Canadian government could virtue signal? We had no chance. Trudeau is a world class virtue signaler. Either way, lefty outrage isn't news.

Saudi teen feared for life while waiting on Australia refugee rulingQuestions are emerging about why Australia seemingly dragged its feet in assessing Saudi teen Rahaf al-Qunun’s asylum claim, while Canada granted her asylum in just a day Questions are emerging about why SBS has censored its news reports to hide the reason why the Saudi teen was claiming asylum. Either listening too much to the Saudis or plainly racism. ellipsii Because our country is a racist country, filled with idiots who don't want to offer asylum to asylum seekers whose lives are on the line. It's pathetic.

'Never alone': Saudi teen Rahaf Alqunun gets guard to ensure safety in CanadaThe refugee agency contracted by the Canadian government to help Saudi teenager Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun settle in Toronto has hired a guard for her safety.

Saudi teen Rahaf Alqunun granted asylum in Canada, Trudeau confirmsAn 18-year-old Saudi woman who fled her family saying she feared for her life leaves Thailand en route to Canada.
