This Australian's perspective is at least we didn't lock him up in some no-mans land without legal representation or even communication, leave him rot for a couple of years, and then have some mickey mouse trial.

As it stands, there was insufficient evidence to hold Haneef, leading to speculation there was perhaps insufficient evidence in the first place.

Having said that, as it stands right now, justice has been done.

Thanks scarlet..Nice read.

Agreed that we still dont know the complete story behind it and no one can deny the fact that his cousins were involved in the bomb plot.. having said that, if Mr. Andrews is wrong, he should apologize, it takes guts n valor to admit a mistake but doing so only increases one's reputation, what ever ppl may spk abt immaturity. That would be helpful to the family, if not for a better image of the nation.

Andrews is just riding the wave of political hysteria though.

Sometimes Australians are as guilty of being naive as our US friends.

^^ Appreciate it.. this is what the likes of Andrews lack..

Well, either way, the guy's career in any Western country is ruined. He's back in India now, getting job offers for probably pathetic rates. At least Australia is a fair country where he can sue instead of "putting up or shutting up" like in some other places of this world.

I agree, with the idea that most probably his career else where has ended..but I diagree about the job in India though.. 1st up a medical profession isnt just about making money, so it should depend on the money that the patient can afford.. oh a bit utopian?? Doctors can get very high paying jobs even in India. They can have private practise as well.. but his tarnished image isnt gonna help him a lot atleast in bangalore which already has a bit of religious divide among middle class people.

and what is wrong with locking him up in some no-mans land without legal representation or even communication, leave him rot for a couple of years, and then have some mickey mouse trial ?.

I'm still confused why this guy bought himself a one-way ticket to India the day after the Glasgow attack when he had a very good life in Australia, but should be innocent and proven guilty.

I think he realised what his dumbass relatives did and found himself in a Catch-22 situation. He was fudged whether he stayed or left ,even if they would've found him innocent after a stint in jail.
