If you didn't sound like the average Lib then twas off to jail for you.
“It was
understandable authorities would think mentally ill Australian woman Cornelia
Rau was an unlawful citizen, Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone said today.
Ms Rau, a
39-year-old permanent resident who came to Australia when she was a baby, was
released from Baxter immigration detention centre in South Australia on Friday.
She had spent six
months in a Queensland jail before being sent to the centre, where she spent
four months after telling authorities she was a German woman named Anna
Schmidt.
That was despite
the former Qantas flight attendant being listed as missing in August last year.
The federal
government announced it would investigate the incident, but Ms Vanstone today
said it was "a pretty fair understanding" authorities would believe
she maybe an unlawful citizen.--
