I have been resisting commenting on the Haneef case. Why? Because I'm a temporary resident of Australia, and my life as I know it will be over if I am deported. No, I'm not joking. What if my accent is considered too foreign, my written words too academic and my political views too left-of-centre? I won't even get any brownie points for creating conventional, meaningful blogs.Anyhow, this op-ed piece in The Age says nearly everything I could have possiby had the flair and freedom to pen down myself:
