There was a very strange quote yesterday from Alexander Downer (foreign minister), saying that the immigration department and the federal police were right not to apologize to Dr Haneef:
"What do you expect them to do, fall on the ground and grovel - eat dirt - I mean, get real. This is a quite common situation,"
Where to start? It's a common situation? You mean this sort of thing happens all the time? People getting locked up for 15 days for no reason? Also.. "get real"?
The thing that does give me some joy is that my daughters can sing along with the song about Alexander Downer from the musical "Keating". It goes, in part:
"I'm too freaky... I'm a greasy-cheeked freak"
