Ahmed Zaoui is not legally here and he has no effect on election day, so the Government can afford to ignore his rights - he's not a NZ'er.<br /><br />That said, the fact that remains is that the Government has secret and/or classified information on the activities of Mr. Zaoui. Therefore, as we don't know the content of that information, we can't possibly pass judgment on him either way. I posted a similar comment on the freezaoui.org.nz site, but never really got a reply.<br /><br />A good start though is to read up on Algeria's history and go through the newspaper reports in the 1990's on Algeria, that may give you an idea of the circumstances surrounding Ahmed Zaoui, but I don't guarantee you will find out everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6675359.post-1097098962337974052004-10-07T10:42:00.000+13:002004-10-07T10:42:00.000+13:00Hi Dave

We should rather put more money into helping those we do except intergrate better, lifeskills, education/retraining as we have an obligation to them by inviting them in.<br /><br />B. increase the numbers per year but must do A above first.<br /><br /><br />Zaoui is not a stupid man, far from it.<br />It is plain as day he had a plan and is executing it.<br />He has a working team to further his cause and had some contacts from day one.<br /><br />If you read the transcripts from the investigate magazine He was involved with terrorists in some way despite all the spin his lawyers have put on the issue.<br /><br />you don't share lodging with known terrorists in four different european countries including carrying false documents etc etc with clean hands.<br /><br />He was found guilty in absentia becasue he ran (from liberal democracies France, Switz, Belgium) if he had stayed and answetred the charges he would have gone to jail as he was guilty.<br /><br />lets get real here. put the fluff aside.<br /><br />He is a criminal.<br />he came with false documents and lied to get in.<br />send him back and all the others to last prot of embarkation.<br />full stop no exceptions.<br /><br />if he is geniune then he can apply at a UN office.<br />There are offices in Malaysia and it is a "Nice muslim country".<br />at least that is what Helen Clark would have us believe.<br /><br />so lets send him back and all the tax payers money being used for him can go to those refugees waiting in the system.<br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
