Sheikh, President of FIANZ.
Firstly, the
victims’ welfare, which in this case are two innocent
children, have to be of paramount concern. We note that
Australia ratified the UN Convention of the Rights of the
Child in 1990 and there are obligations which need to be
followed. It is quite concerning that on one hand the
Australian Prime Minister in a message, specific to
Australian children, stated “we have to look after each
other”, albeit in the COVID-19 context, but now wants to
absolve any responsibility of taking care of two Australian
kids. Children should not be pawns of political sidesteps.
Someone hasn t bothered reading the link.

More ironic humour from Andy Borowitz (and very close to the truth!)
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) A furious Donald J. Trump attempted to fire the Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, sources report.
According to the sources, Trump was so irate about the Supreme Court’s dismissal of his election challenge on Tuesday that he phoned Barrett directly to inform her that she was “history.”
“I hired you to get a job done, and you didn’t get it done,” Trump angrily informed Barrett. “You’re out of here.”
Sources say that Barrett had the unenviable task of informing Trump that Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life and therefore cannot be fired, a revelation that left Trump “flabbergasted.”
Royal Commission Report Fails the People of New Zealand
Commentary
On March 15, 2019, a terror attack at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand claimed 51 lives and wounded another 40 people. A NZ Royal Commission has now released a massive report on the attack, more than 800 pages, the most important point of which is that the terrorist was unknown to authorities until moments before he struck, but that somehow more and better intelligence would help prevent future attacks.
In a striking omission, the report fails to consider the role of individual institutions in providing their own security measures which, in this case, could have saved many lives, maybe all of them.
