US activist deported from Oz asked to pay his ticket home
 From the Dept. of Just Desserts:A US peace activist deported from Australia for security reasons says he has been asked to reimburse the government some 11,700 dollars (9,000 US dollars) for sending him home. Scott Parkin, who was deemed a threat to national security by the country's main intelligence agency, was put on a plane to Los Angeles on Thursday. A spokesman for Parkin said the government had asked him to pay the 11,700 dollar bill and warned him he could be forced to pay more if he tries to return to Australia. Billing deportees is standard practice in Australia. Posted by: Seafarious 2005-09-17 |
