I'm not sure what we do with these people,I know I'm in for a twitter shit storm, but Ynot give to Afghan officials, after all, he was fighting there. I say this because he can't be Rehabilitated, and he won't be locked up 4eva on his return here. DoWeReallyWantHimBack

He’s probably going there to learn how to declare martial law before the election.

Best thing he could do is just ignore it like he ignores everything else...oh except dress codes.

It’s going to be fun explaining that a murderous religious Zealot psychopath who grew up in Australia and has never been to Fiji is a Fijian problem because ScottMorrisonMP says so. auspol

Given how well ScoMo has done recently 'soothing' Australia Day issues, this should be highly entertaining. auspol Australia

Nice way to reinforce ties with China. It's like the LNP think foreign diplomacy is somewhere you charge tax-payers to go on an overseas holiday.

Looks like Dutton is in the Dunce Hat again then.

Australian coal is killing the Pacific: Fiji PM tells Scott MorrisonFiji has firmly told Australia to shift away from coal and fossil fuels because climate change is hurting Pacific island nations. auspol I'd tell Fiji to wake up...

Dutton stands firm against Fiji on Neil Prakash citizenship | Sky News AustraliaThe Fiji government has cast further doubt on Peter Dutton’s decision to strip Neil Prakash of his Australian citizenship, insisting the terrorist is not a Fiji national. \n\nPrakash can only be stripped of Australian citizenship if he is a dual citizen, as Australian law forbids leaving a person stateless. \n\nMr Dutton’s office is defending its legal advice; however Fiji’s director of immigration has stated Prakash never applied for Fijian citizenship. \n\nThe island nation did not allow dual citizenship before 2009, and the IS jihadist was born in Australia.\n\n\n\n\n\n Five months that seem like an eternity before this man can be kicked out for good. And this dim sim thinks he's smart enough to be PM ? LOL auspol Who cares if he's a Fijian Nation or Not? Islamic Terrorists should have their citizenship stripped no matter if they are dual-citizen or not. They lose the right to citizenship the moment they go to fight & cause harm against their home country.
