Great priorities for you. <br /><br />As an ex-pat in Japan, I understand for even being caught driving unlicensed or shoplifting I can expect visa-revocation and deportation at my own expense. <br /><br />My Japanese friends and relatives have been questioning me all week as to why such a dangerous and obviously mentally unstable individual was allowed to remain in Australia. The best answer I have for them is a shrug of my shoulders. I don't want to tell them Australia has become a weak nation too scared of its own shadow to not remove out a threat to society. Australia's standing as a safe country has been dealt a blow after this madness. It has also signalled that it is a safe place for future nut-cases to go about their business.
