The Haneef affair should leave nobody satisfied. It doesn’t matter if you’re a human rights activist or worried about Islamofascism. There’s something there to annoy you.
The person to blame? Kevin Andrews. But what will happen to him?
Nothing.
Justice Jeffrey Spender has given Andrews 21 days to respond to his ruling that Haneef should have his visa reinstated.
“If they do appeal, the case will drag on,” says Haneef’s counsel.
Well of course. Until after the election, when there will be another minister. Who can say it all happened before his time.
