BehrouzBoochani Australian Politics

BehrouzBoochani True. AustralianLabor has been utterly disgusting in its support of the concentration camps. AlboMP

BehrouzBoochani With Behrouz and his startling biblical look, I can't understand why ScottMorrisonMP didn't throw his arms around him and take him to visit his great flawed mentor BrianCHouston at Hillsong freeatlast

BehrouzBoochani I think it needs to be respected that the conservatives and media drove labor into a corner on the issue. Every best intention labor has is smashed by rubbish media and a dishonest liberal party.

BehrouzBoochani Was this man a cue-jumper who paid to get on a boat and take his chances?

BehrouzBoochani And your religion comes to our democracies with bad, very bad intentions so, why do we need to be nice to you

BehrouzBoochani Queue jumper.

BehrouzBoochani

BehrouzBoochani oh poor you

BehrouzBoochani Oh boo hoo.

nippie_sweety BehrouzBoochani But they haven't, they have repeatedly called for resettlement options like the one offered by NZ to be taken up by the government. It is the LNP that has condemned these people to indefinite detention.

BehrouzBoochani First refo I've seen calling a spade.....a spade, that's respect

BehrouzBoochani ... and he is correct! Australians need to get used to hearing the truth, and owning the damage this government, and a complicit opposition, has done by the illegal detention of refugees and asylum seekers. Manus, Nauru FamilyFromBiloela

BehrouzBoochani And now so is NZ...

BehrouzBoochani It will be interesting to see what this ingrate does in the future. Many in the ALP & their supporters were opposed to indefinite detention of these men. KKeneally offers congratulations on his freedom & he spits in her face. Who will he attack next time he doesn’t get his way?

BehrouzBoochani Another false and duly failed attempt by Kristina Keneally to gain favour as a politician. What an embarrasment she is the ALP to herself, her family and friends. Kristina you are pathetic.

BehrouzBoochani This is wrong, SBS! Behrouz did NOT ‘hit out’, he was defending himself against Kristina Keneally’s attempt to whitewash ALP’s complicity in keeping him on Manus all these years. If you must position him as the aggressor here, try ‘hit back’.

BehrouzBoochani The craven opposition was once the craven government.

grumpyMichael BehrouzBoochani Put aseekers to work in farms. If they get refugees status, they at least have a skill n not have to depend on welfare.

BehrouzBoochani If 2 major party all support exile asylum seekers to a little island that would be the majority of the people want to do so. Don’t complain anymore enjoy your NZ life. That is a true great place to live.

BehrouzBoochani If he came in trough the right channels he probably would have been here by now. But he chose to come in the grey channel and that is what you get. Sorry mate, I hope you learned your lesson. Stop blaming everyone else.

BehrouzBoochani Stop the blame game. They have not been treated as human beings and their rights have been violated. It needs to be resolved by allowing them access to medical care and resettlement.

BehrouzBoochani Disappointing but knew he would blame them

duncanfine BehrouzBoochani About time Labor were called out for their ongoing and appalling policy on refugees. Too gutless to change policy unless it loses them the bogan vote.

BehrouzBoochani Screw your hypocrisy AustralianLabor KKeneally

BehrouzBoochani So sorry you were treated so badly both sides of government have disgusting attitudes to refugees.

BehrouzBoochani Labor are just like the Nazis

BehrouzBoochani Fair enough

an_untamed BehrouzBoochani True ... Labor are complicit ...

BehrouzBoochani Please be happy what r u now and lead cheerful y.

BehrouzBoochani I never realized KKK was so weathered..

BehrouzBoochani Who cares what he thinks and says. He broke our laws to land himself there in the first place. It's fascinating this point gets forgotten.

BehrouzBoochani Why would he want to come to Australia after he was clearly told he was not welcome?. He is a successful author so he can ply his trade anywhere that offers free speech and safety. Best wishes for a happy life BehrouzBoochani

Jenn1964Hussey BehrouzBoochani AustralianLabor under MrKRudd made a pragmatic decision that they won’t be honest about, was the single largest betrayal of its core belief systems in its history. Didn’t realise at the time how much the LNP would take it though with Morrison and Diutton .

an_untamed BehrouzBoochani Um as a card carrying financial member of the Labor party I can tell you that off shore processing centres were the idea. Process in a timely manner and move them. It was the Liberals that turned them into detention centres. Get your story straight. I'm glad this man is out tho.

BehrouzBoochani Lookout Labour your pants are down

BehrouzBoochani Keneally showing why she was so successful in NSW...

BehrouzBoochani BOOM...!

BehrouzBoochani He’s lucky his out of Manus

BehrouzBoochani Yep.

BehrouzBoochani He kinda did that to himself...he knew the consequences of entering Aus without a visa.

BehrouzBoochani So has the greens

BehrouzBoochani What say you now Ms Keneally KKeneally

BehrouzBoochani Keep him out pls

BehrouzBoochani No exile occurred here - just didn’t get your own easy way to Australia - and that agitation is exactly why you should not get entry to Australia. Deal with your bitterness, revisit your opinion, take a look at self in mirror

BehrouzBoochani I wonder if anybody would have cared if he was ugly? Come on he's a good looking guy, nice blue puppy dog eyes, he looks a bit like Jesus. 🤡👌

BehrouzBoochani Rest assured that our 'quiet majority' household WON'T being voting for ANY LNP or Labour candidates in the next election!! abc730 😡

BehrouzBoochani Mate, you refused to get processed by PNG, the authority. If you were a legitimate refugee, you would have been cleared 6 years ago. You refused to accept resettlement in the USA in 2017. Wtf.

BehrouzBoochani That's right, Mr Boochani said nothing about the Coalition government that kept him imprisoned 6 years and denied him proper health care.

BehrouzBoochani HAHAHAHA.. HAHAHA.. auspol alp

BehrouzBoochani Who cares what this person says, why are you even reporting this?

BehrouzBoochani What’s the bet we see this guy moving to Australia as soon as he’s got NZ citizenship?

BehrouzBoochani Well said that man

BehrouzBoochani Bark Kristina Bark!!!

BehrouzBoochani Kristina Keneally is AustralianLabor liability. She is not a Penny SenatorWong sort of asset. Members don’t know how to read the balance sheet. auspol

BehrouzBoochani Australians get screwed over every day by government changes in policy.

BehrouzBoochani And 55,000 others. 1200 Dead 21 Detention Centres 3500 Kids In Detention 800 Kids Dead That's Labor's Record

BehrouzBoochani Not a single mention in the article of the continued and increasingly brutal treatment of those on the island by the LNP. Not one.

AmandaPerram BehrouzBoochani They all obviously like to torment and torture. So sorry Behrouz.

BehrouzBoochani Shouldn't even be here at all.

Boochani lashes Australian 'dictatorship'Finally free after six years on Manus Island, Kurdish-Iranian author and journalist Behrouz Boochani has excoriated the Australian government and says he'll seek an extension to his New Zealand visa. Then why would he want to live here? I notice that he didn't bother mentioning the fact that this 'dictatorship' just provided him with safety, housing, food, education, medical help and who knows what else because he was allegedly fleeing for his very life. Bye, Behrouz. Never let the facts get in the way of virtue signalling. 1. He was on Manus Island and refused to be processed by PNG immigration. 2. In 2017 the USA agreed to resettle the people on Manus. He refused So...
