Can you imagine our Home Affairs Minister doing this, if Australia had pulled out the proverbial finger? That's Minister Peter Dutton, ICYMI. 😟😩😣

Cool story

I still do not get why Rahaf is allowing all this publicity as to where she is going. A brave young women, is she not scared her family or people they hire will hunt her down.

deb2829 Interested to see her next move 1. Job Make a living like rest of us in the world ?

Here is a story about a woman from a Muslim country telling us how violent the men are. And we open our arms to Muslim men.

Smart move stalling Australia (if you actually did). This will rival boats.

'Rahaf al-Qunun is going to start a revolution': Teen's plight highlights Saudi male guardianshipOpposition to Saudi Arabia's male guardianship system has been highlighted by an 18-year-old Saudi woman's flight from her allegedly abusive family. Lol. The future is masculine. No, your misdirection, rather than putting the spotlight on the method and number of executions in SArabia; 147 beheadings in 2017, but you won't talk about that because you want this here. She did fear for her own life, hardly the anodyne of guardianship. Maybe in the west. But for the east it puts a stoplight on spoiled overindulgence of rich kids and workaholic parents who prefer wealth to raising kids.

Saudi teen Rahaf al-Qunun accepts offer of asylum from CanadaSaudi teen Rahaf al-Qunun, who allegedly fled abuse by her family, is flying to Canada, with PM Justin Trudeau confirming she has been granted asylum. Surprised this 'Islam is bad!' govt didn't trip over itself to offer her asylum... And ashamed we didn't rush to offer protection. Ooh lucky for them, everyone was scrapping for her, for the virtue signal points. Now she can jump headlong into their welfare and onto tinder. You ho girl. Australia is so out of touch !

Australia urged to clarify visa status of Saudi woman Rahaf Mohammed al-QununAustralia is being asked to clarify reports it has cancelled Saudi teenager Rahaf al-Qunun's visa saverahaf Well - unless it issued the report it can't clarify it. 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.

Australia considers visa for Saudi teen Rahaf al-Qunun after UN grants her refugee statusAustralia is considering granting a visa to Saudi teenager Rahaf al-Qunun after a United Nations agency found the 18-year-old detained at Bangkok airport is a genuine refugee. As long as she integrates and doesn't want to impose Sharia law in any form in Australia. She can of course introduce us to the many culinary delights of her culture. But hey, kill the beasts without cruelty. Australia was her “preferred” country in which to claim asylum. 😂 That actually makes her a migrant, not a refugee. Good news! I hope she'll be granted refugee status and can settle in to a new life in Australia.

Topless protesters fight for Saudi teen’s rightsA group of topless women held a protest in Sydney’s CBD this morning, in solidarity with a Saudi teenager who fled her family and sought asylum in Australia. Toxic femininity, a cancer sweeping our world, turning women into hissing zombies. Good to see they are keeping abreast of the situation! Why no tops what is the point? I was following that story until now, may as well get the Vegans to protest as well

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.

Saudi teen bound for Canada | Sky News AustraliaSaudi teenager Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun, who was detained at a Bangkok airport while fleeing her family, has left Thailand on a flight bound for Canada. \n\nThe UNHCR withdrew its refugee referral to Australia after the 18-year-old expressed a preference for Canada.\n\nMs al-Qunun flew to Thailand from Kuwait and refused to return saying she feared her family would kill her after she renounced Islam.\n\nThe woman posted videos about her ordeal on Twitter sparking global interest in her plight.\n\nHer Twitter page has since been deleted.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Guess those topless protestors in Martin Place are starting to regret their decision ... Bet she meets Justin cause he will want to be the hero and also another vote for him What a shame we lose a powerful and clever young woman to another country. Australia should be actively bringing innovative, resourceful and resilient people here instead of being a centre of mediocrity and decrying refugees and asylum seekers.
