Nope, you are wrong.

No, I am afraid mental illness should not be a reason to refuse entry to a humanitarian nation like Australia. I would be ashamed if we did that.

However, I feel in the case of this man, and many others like him, that the moment they broke our laws, by writing to the families of our soldiers killed in action, he should of been immediately deported and lost all rights to ever enter here again.

The same with people who want to fight for ISIS, let them go, but ban then from ever returning, and anybody found guilty in any way of supporting terrorism, should be immediately be permanently deported. With no right of review.

Why should people like him, enjoy the rights and privileges enjoyed as a result of the efforts and the sacrifices of my ancestors, be allowed to stay and pollute my society.

I do not want to punish them, I just do not want them living in my society. If these people feel there is not a consequence for their actions, there is no deterrent. Prison only makes then martyrs and they eventually get out.

Sending them back to their homelands immediately, where they fled, is the only answer. No drawn our court cases, no wasting taxpayer monies, just being escorted to the airport, their passports taken ans shipped off our fair shores.
