See the dhimmihood similarities? Australia, UK, Canada, USA, the entire EU .... same, same ....

 or should we say .... shame, shame?   This is how the  clowns we have elected to high office  think of the jobs we have elected them to do.

Immigration department officials did not tell the federal minister for eight months that an Egyptian asylum seeker was a convicted jihadist terrorist.
The man arrived in Australia on an asylum seeker boat with his family on May 9 last year.
A member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad – linked to al-Qaeda – the unnamed man was convicted in 1999 of premeditated murder, destruction of property, firearm and explosives offences and membership of a terrorist group.
In August last year, intelligence agency ASIO told the immigration department about the man.

Immigration Minister Brendan O'Connor told the Federation Chamber of Parliament on Tuesday night that information was not passed to him until April.
''It was the first time the matters related to these series of incidents were provided to me,'' Mr O'Connor said.
He said his predecessor, Chris Bowen, had not received a briefing either.
Mr O'Connor said on Wednesday that he had told his department to inform him about any similar case and it was not up to ministers to chase down people.
''Nothing has happened here,'' he said, adding Latif had been detained at all times.
Opposition border security spokesman Michael Keenan said the government had agreed to brief the Coalition on the case.
''We've asked for that briefing to be conducted by the immigration department, the Australian Federal Police and ASIO, because all three agencies have been intimately involved,'' Mr Keenan said.
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison slammed the culture within the department – and the government – on serious security issues.
''The fact that neither Minister O'Connor nor Minister Bowen were informed that a terrorist was a pool fence away from freedom in the Adelaide Hills is a serious breakdown in the process of ministerial accountability,'' Mr Morrison said in a statement on Wednesday.
''What sort of show are this government running when their own departments believe their ministers are disinterested in being told about serious national security information?''..........
