Lawyer angered at decision on Haneef visa

Melbourne: Australian lawyer Peter Russo, who is accompanying his client Mohammed Haneef to Bangalore, has said that Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews’ refusal to restore the Indian doctor’s visa will damage Australia’s reputation, making overseas people “suspicious” about living and working in the country.

During their stopover in Bangkok, Mr. Russo expressed his anger at Mr. Andrews’ decision not to reinstate Dr. Haneef’s visa.

“The Minister’s decision is beyond bizarre,” Mr. Russo was quoted as saying by The Australian. “It will make overseas people very suspicious about living and working in Australia.” — PTI
