#1 My gosh ... if he's legit, the opposition that tried to tumble Howard actually gets it!

(Well, on a surface reading -- do they?)

#2 Its more Labour is trying to manufacture an issue. A regular feature of Oz news is the illegal immigrants who deserve special treatment - sick kid, old grandmother, son who plays footie, daughter who plays violin, etc. etc. The Howard governments position has been 'we have a set of rules and they apply to everyone' so I understand their reluctance to intervene after the bureuacrats have rejected the mans claim for asylum. I would be astonished if the Howard government didn't grant the protection visa (after the politicians do intervene).
