Can’t blame Aussie

Australia is deporting back to NZ, Maria Brown and her son Prince Brown.

They are rather nasty thugs, and unless there is some sort of miracle, I suspect they will be offending as regularly here, as in Australia.

What struck me though, is how incredibly stupid they are. Some extracts:

Maria Brown was defended by her partner Nasser Rajab, and the two struggled to keep their stories straight. They had met in New Zealand in 1991, she said. He said they met in Australia in 2001. She said she was unaware of any allegations her partner had supplied drugs – he admitted serving an 18-month prison sentence for such a crime ending just a few months before the tribunal hearing.

She said he had no criminal record – he was shown to have a 25-year string of convictions. She said he was a Kiwi; he said he was not. It was, found the tribunal president, “impossible to treat [Maria Brown] as a reliable witness”.

How dumb do you have to be to not even get your story straight?

Prince Brown’s defence was equally ridiculous. He denied knowing a man police identified as a known drug dealer – and then produced a letter of support from the same man describing the young man as an upstanding member of the community.

And this sets a new level of dumbness.
