And that statement should be grounds for Mr. Dames' immediate dismissal. The research has been done, the results of it have been publicised. Anyone who actually wanted to know about the subject, rather than merely hear themselves talk fool about it, knew where to go and would be familiar with the body of that research by now.

The reason Dames would be sacked, however, is that his boss is just as ignant...

You and I are footing the billl. For while the initial ruling contains indeed some parts that are open to challenge, the legal argument at the core is clear: immigration needs to take people before a magistrate within 48 hours after detaining them, and must not deport people without a valid deportation order. His constitutional rights were violated, and they didn't even follow the Immigration Act. So, government will lose, lawyers will get richer, and you and I get to pay the bill as the stupid taxpayers we are.

Heard these statements before, and they've never been worth the ink and paper - or Internet bandwidth.

"Clarke, who didn’t drink alcohol, consumed a Kalik radler," which of course IS alcohol. A few weeks later, while illegally engaging in an activity for which this man lacks multiple qualifications and licenses, he kills himself and five others. So he is described as "responsible and a stickler for rules." And the Tribune doesn't question any of these statements. You can't make this ish up.

The approach taken by the Minnis administration here is troublesome.

The junior MP claims that his entire MP salary goes to his constituency, yet from his declaration of assets upon nomination it is clear that he then would have no way to pay his own way. So what money is putting food in his mouth?

There are allegations of corruption against a redshirt, and the government's response is, "We ain't even going to look into dat!"?

It is clear that they have, from day 1, only seen transparency and anti-corruption as an anti-PLP measure, but not as a general principle that should guide them in government, too.

Fred, it pains me to admit, is indeed right on most of this.

What I suspect he is wrong about is the "independent" commission. That seems to be easily compatible with the Constitution.
