Opposition deputy leader Julia Gillard was on 774 Melbourne this morning and her performance was overwhelmingly condemned by John Faine's audience.
The station received 30 text messages all condemning Labor's spineless stance. Gillard's standard answer was, "Labor are taking the government's word at face value...". Pulease. And this is same party that attacks Howard for lying every week.
Given that the evidence against Dr Haneef has crumbled faster than Grandma's crumble cake, Gillard's argument was pathetic. Faine, who doesn't take foolish answers at face value, logically argued that Labor's response was entirely political and designed not to offend a certain section of the community.
TODAY'S SUGGESTED ACTION.
Please text 19774774 or call ABC Melbourne on 1300-774774 about this issue. Please do this after 3pm when the radio station gets back into the heavier issues of the day.
Can I suggest that if you help the ALP during the campaign, (ie leafletts/how to votes etc) that you seriously consider swapping parties to one that respects human and legal rights. The Democrats could certainly use an extra person or two hundred, and the Greens will be pushing Labor hard in inner Sydney and Melbourne seats. Any decent independents can be helped as well.
If you don't want to swap parties, then seriously think about staying out of the ALP campaign. How would you feel being a foot soldier for a party that won't speak up for Dr Haneef and an independent judicial system?
It is time to put the ALP on notice on this issue.
Keep the letters of support flowing for Dr Haneef as well. freedrhaneef@yahoo.com.au

Sorry 774 number is 1300 222774
From the attitude of the federal opposition, it is likely that the federal govt has briefed them on the matter.
Thus, armed with the same information that the govt has, the federal ALP has chosen to back the continued detention of Haneef.
Hmmmm......
Get you hand off it steve. The AFP evidence has fallen in a heap and yet you believe the opposition and govt should trust it.
And if there was other evidence, why wasn't it brought up at the bail hearing or selectively leaked.
And why hasn't there been any requests by the English coppers to extradite Dr Haneef?
Answer. They don't want anything to do with the mess the AFP have made.
