Watch chief of ASIO shut down Pauline Hanson's quite reasonable questions about refugees and terrorism
Friday, 26 May 2017
This is bloody outrageous!
The chief of ASIO Duncan Lewis is not telling the truth, "I have absolutely no evidence to suggest there's a connection between refugees and terrorism".

Abdul Nacer Benbrika, mastermind of the MCG bombing plot and currently serving a 15 year jail sentence was in Australia as a refugee fleeing his "unsafe" country of origin Algeria.
How is it The Australian uncovered these 22 cases published on 8 October last year - but the details somehow eluded the boss of ASIO?
Syria refugee intake reveals 22 terror cases
Up to 22 people trying to join Australia’s extra refugee intake of 12,000 Syrians face rejection because of fears they are linked to terrorist organisations, including Islamic State, which used refugees as “camouflage” to enter Europe and carry out the Paris attacks last year.
The Weekend Australian can reveal the government’s independent security checks, involving biometric data and shared intelligence reports, have found at least 22 “potential national security concerns” among refugee applicants since the special intake of Syrian refugees was announced in September last year.
All those applying for Syrian refugee status to Australia in the Middle East have to undergo health, character and security checks before being accepted.
The 22 security concerns include those with links or suspected links to terrorist groups including Islamic State, which terrorised and plundered large areas of Syria and Iraq and claims to have sent 4000 trained terrorist fighters into “sleeper cells” around the world.
In the past few weeks, European security chiefs have disclosed that seven of the nine attackers in the Paris shootings and bombings last November, who killed 130 people and injured 368, passed into Europe through Hungary in last year’s uncontrolled mass migration.
ENDS
This country is headed for serious strife if we continue deluding ourselves. Worse still when people who should know the truth spout PR spin-cycle rubbish like the boss of ASIO.
