[Bolwell, Kristian (Sen K. Nettle)]

Greens will move for Senate Inquiry into Haneef scandal 

24.07.07

Australian Greens Senator Kerry Nettle will move to establish a Senate
Inquiry into the scandal surrounding the criminal investigation and visa
cancellation of Dr Haneef if an independent inquiry is not established
by the time parliament sits. 

"A Senate Inquiry is an opportunity to clear the air," Senator Nettle
said. 

"The AFP has a tarnished reputation, and Minister Andrews used incorrect
information when cancelling Dr Haneef's visa may have used his powers
for a political purpose. 

"As it stands, allegations surrounding the AFP investigation and
Minister Andrews visa cancellation, need to be explained and
investigated", Senator Nettle said.

The Senate will resume sitting in two weeks.
