ANDREW BOLT: Yet again I have to ask that if a judge or magistrate rules that the background of asylum seekers make them understandably more dangerous, is it fair to our citizens to import more of them? A TRAUMATISED former asylum-seeker was last week placed on a good behaviour bond after threatening Department of Human Services staff in Dandenong with a bottle of petrol and a cigarette lighter. The defendant, 28, had threatened to “burn down the place” if he didn’t secure a public housing property “by the end of the day” ... Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said “the circumstances in which you came to Australia are highly relevant to the circumstances you’re in now”. Before his arrival, the man had been under “constant threat” from an Iraqi militia and the “subject of severe abuse” in his homeland. The man fled Iraq after the same militia killed his brother. While coming to Australia, he survived a “very tragic incident” at Christmas Island. Many of those who died were relatives and close friends of his. Mr Vandersteen found those events led to the accused’s “multitude of mental health issues” and to his “unacceptable” threats to DHS staff. blogs.news.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/if_a_refugees_background_makes_him_more_dangerous_why_is_he_here/#.U79DNdnk8RU.yahoomail
