Australia has enough ORCs

What is wrong with Thailand?

She wanted to go to Canada. Read her tweets if you can even read

Under fire from whom? 4 topless women and the screeching rent a crowd from Melbourne. Nobody cares what they think. We didn't want her end of auspol

Since Soros, (I mean Fairfax) took over, Channel 9 news has turned into the TV equivalent of a socialist gutter rag. Wouldn't believe a word they broadcast.

Always something to make a fuss about. Australian government following protocol you silly people. She chose Canada, so go back to bed with your dummy.

What rubbish! Who the hell cares? She is in Canada & safe until her rich family turn up!

Oh puhleeesse 👎 WHY? If people were GENUINELY concerned for her well being they’d be happy she’s now safe. Instead they seek to USE her & her predicament to invent and score cheap political points - there is a process - clearly Canada isn’t as thorough - either way she’s ok.

who can work out why she went to Canada,,child born in ozz does not get the right to citizenship

Security checks for someone from a terrorist producing and funding State 🇸🇦 will take ASIO 6-12 months for a permanent visa. If Trudeau doesn’t care about security, that’s his problem. auspol sarahinthesen8

Why are we under fire? She had a list of countries, the Anglo sphere, and Canada stepped up.

Oh move on.

Why?

Spare us!

No it’s not. The only people outraged are the usual eternally outraged leftwits.

This Government is a joke internationally!!

The Canadian PM wanted a media opportunity. I wonder what costume he dressed up in?

Australia is no more a hero to those in need.

I call out bullshit. She wanted Canada, time to let it go.

Trudeau fast tracked her so he could do his usual virtue signalling. Australia has guidelines. Sadly she expected to skip the procedures that all asylum seekers have to follow. The left as usual trying to make an issue out of nothing.

Still interested to know if the UNCR will now determine all victims of DV will now be classified as refugees? In saying that i am ok if they do, i just wonder why this case was the 1st one?

The government is under fire from who or whom?

Gov't had to do its due diligence. Thai military were enough to keep her safe in the meantime.

Thank goodness the Government didn't get involved .just country shopping, family will join later

Stalling as usual.

Why?

Under fire ? Give me a fucking break. The only reason they should be under fire is embarrassing us by the way they chased after her in the first place

Again, just shows the world that Australia is a racist country...

Glory Canada

Under fire by who? Name names or are you just speaking on behalf of all the leftist hand wringers?

Good Job ✅👍

Just say nooo And then i promise you She will come back to her country And she will play playstation with her familly in safe .

It’s not a competition to see which country can process an asylum seeker faster! So she chose Canada - big fkn deal! God knows Trudeau could use a good news story.

Shame she didn’t make it here. SHY could have taken her to another Hizbut Tahir rally

Get a grip. She chose Canada.

She spat the dummy and took an offer. She knew Australia would take her. It was a matter of waiting for the process. She was impatient and Canada pounced. It’s a wonder she didn’t start a hunger strike.

It’s ok she’s going to a safer place.

Why? Please advise.

Frankly she will be safer in Canada to live a live finally as a woman and a free individual than in Australia. There are some Muslims in Australia who can threaten or just make her life a misery.

Why does it matter where she settles as long as she is safe, isn’t that the whole issue or is she some kind of prize now

Under fire? From whom? The girl wanted Canada and got it. Well played.

“Under fire”? By who, the left? Aren’t we all? 😂

If only she was an au pair

She requested Canada

True facts don't seem to matter with you lot. Dutton delays caused her to accept Canada's help. Just wish we had a government like the Canadians.

Instant celebrity who'll cash in on it for the rest of her life

So the Media says or opposition looking for Brownlee points

Didn’t even Try to accommodate this genuine refugee. Disgraceful.

Well she wasn’t a pretty European Au Pair. Processing only takes hours for one of them

Fire from who.

We delay it on purpose tbh - deters refugees.

Under fire from whom? She decided on Canada. Wrap it up already.

not Australian problem why should they care .

Move along. It's over and there has been a good outcome. Stop whinging that she won the jackpot somewhere else! She won.. end of story

If it worries people that much there are a few farmers in SA that are in real danger, the only problem is they are white and could fit in well...

Dutton procrastinated, delayed deliberately hoping another country would take her. Two words Dutton could not find in a dictionary let alone in his dark black heart - compassion and humanity auspol

Blame the UN they were handling it

I can't see why it matters that she ended up in Canada rather than Australia. She sought asylum & she got asylum. End of story.

Not from the AustralianPeople they're not 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Auspol

Who writes this rubbish. You are fake news.

She asked to go to Canada

What? She sought asylum and decided to go to Canada Her choice get over it Good luck to her Its about time we stopped blaming our govt for everything auspol skynews

no one cares .......read my fuckin lips .

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.

You mean Hanson Young has sooked about it & stirred up the bra burners?

Under fire from who? No one cares she’s gone move on.

Why are we all talking about this? She's going to Trudeau.

This is one third party using another third party's hearsay to demand a government reveal details about a private international citizen's travel eligibility. Don't they know anything about privacy? This is a person that should be helped by our country she is scared to the bone about being sent back to Saudi with good reason PeterDutton_MP pls review her story ASAP. She is an 18 yo kid with courage & strength she would be a great Australian.

Let's hope so Just one out of character humanitarian act by this Government would be refreshing. Seeing will be believing.
