G'day folks,
I awoke to this news this morning, this make my farken blood boil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a joke we must look in the eyes of both our allies and enemies! We really are a laughing stock.
Australian terrorist Khaled Sharrouf received disability support payments while in Syria battlefields!
Khaled Sharrouf, who fled Australia for Syria using his brother’s passport, continued to receive the disability support pension of $766 a fortnight at least until February, about two months after he left Australia bound for Syria, The Weekend Australian reports.
That means Australian taxpayers may have been inadvertently funding his activities.
Sharrouf served three years and nine months for his role in the Pendennis plot, a terrorist conspiracy in which 18 men were convicted over plans to attack targets in NSW and Victoria.
The terrorist left Australia from Sydney on December 6 and authorities learned of his fraud by *December 18 at the latest.
Normally a disability support pension can be cancelled if the recipient is overseas for six weeks.
But currently the law does not allow authorities to cancel the payments of Australians suspected of involvement in criminal or extremist behaviour.
Human Services Minister Marise Payne would not comment on the Sharrouf case because of privacy reasons but told The Weekend Australian: “(But) recent events have highlighted the need for further measures to ensure Australians engaged in terrorist activities are not receiving payments”.
PS, This is a classic case of Sun Tzu, The art of war, "use your enemies resources against themselves". This is exactly what happens when we allow anyone into Australia without conducting the proper screening. Unfortunately, we have a certain group of left wing folks who are going to destroy the very fabric of our society, by undermining the government and the majority of the Australian publics democratic vote.
Regards,
Paul
