Apparently the Customs people haven't been able to reach anyone to find out what's going on or what to do. Lawyers have started arriving to pro bono help people with appeals. One of the people trapped at the airport is a woman with a green card who has lived in the US for five years and whose child - who is trapped with her - is an American citizen. In other news, Trump signed an EO stripping non citizens of the right to privacy. I await seeing these laws applied here over the next decade

A federal court in New York got a stay on action for deporting people. Green card holders being held up seems to be WAD, an Iraqi interpreter who's been working with the US military for the last 10 years in Iraq is being detained.

Mr Ian Goodenough.. Once saw that numpty putting petrol into a diesel car...... Yep.. RIP One good KIA Sportage. And then has the loving balls to try to expense it to the taxpayers.. Like gently caress u. gently caress u raw mate u break it u buy it. Ben morton trying to fit a 2.2Mt long desk into a Hyundai I30 with the boot open.Watching this from the window for about 20 minutes was a good use of my time. Mate if the hole is 1.2M wide. And the object is 2.2m. It's clearly not going to fit is it... Seeing the poor basterd outside a car scratching his head on how to get it in. Glory to thee oh lord for thy entertainment. Ian Goodenough again. calling Parliamentary services. to ask what program he has to use to run a word document... This made me cry in my cubicle from hysterics for about 10 maybe 15 minutes.. IAN again asking why he has no internet at his MP office.. Numpty had only pluged the cable from the wall (telstra Landline port) into the PC and was going on about it wont fit for a good 10 minutes. Not grasping that the cable needs to be pluged into a modem first. and then run a ethernet cable to the PC.. I died. Literally died. This happens on a very frequent occasion with Ian. At this point ppl at parliamentary services play hopscotch telephone with him or Ro-Sham_Bo and whoever loses has to deal with him.. ANN sudamalis printer once ran out of ink.. So she bought a bottle of Ink for mountebank/fountain pens thinking it was the same type and you just pour it into the cartridge!!!!!!>!!!!>!!! Nick champion took kate ellis breast-milk from the fridge thinking it was normal milk. I mean milks milk but still it's in a breast pump looking bottle mate...Nah shes good weetbix ahoy.Sadly he was stoped before he consumed it. Old mate dutton walking around the members wing with his laptop in hand trying to pick up a wifi singal for 10 mins HOLDING it up really high like an offering to zeus,even though being told he doesnt have the password to connect to it so it's not going to work. Won't listen gently caress that guy. Dutton probably wins the Darwinism award for stupid poo poo. i have seen his desk have like 4-5 daisy chained power boards just running everything. and then complains why they trip breakers. Moron also tried to once shove a 2 pin US adapter into an Australian socket....Sigh A staffer from DJ TONEZ DA ABBOTT (a certain staffer who everyone thought was taking the D from tony) office using a mobile cooler to keep her seafood lunch cool,Not realizing she had it on heat. and when she opened it up. made the entire wing smell like bronnys cream cheese for 2 weeks. as imagine prawns and fish being stewed in that heat for all that time.

Lunch Time Mid Oct 2016.. I sit down to the Kitchen in the Representative dept office. There is about 40-50 ppl chowing down on their lunches. All good.. MP Sarah henderson strolls on in.. She procceds to take her Lunch out of a chiller bag she has,It's a roast chook from wollies/coles i can't remember. Still in the bag and She then proceeds to place it in the Oven,which is one of those IR one's cause Yeah gently caress you why not have a 2000 dollar oven at APH... I notice as does someone else.... Sara,you can't place that in the oven... "EXCUSE ME YES I CAN IT's oven proof" How else do you think they cook them. Guy who helped was like Righto suit urself lady... sits back down watches the show. Fast forward 3 mins the Bag has pretty much ignited and turned into a gooey plastic melted buble. that to this day is still a blacked char on the bottom of the oven...Then has a sook to the guy who tried to help her... I have been told this also apparently happened on an episode of neighbours...Life imitating Art as they say.. Dio Yang or whatever you spell it.... Attempting to Extract a slice of toast. From an active Toaster... With a metal Fork...Darwinism at work.. Old mate Tanya placing her lunch into the microwave with the foil still on it... This was pretty funny.. and loud..SEC came running in to see what the noise was.. gently caress it ive done this too i can't judge her for that.. South wall of the senate chamber offices has a head shaped hole patched up that keeps re opening when ppl walk by iit from where a certain Large Eye brow looking labor rep tried to use a hover board inside the halls and ended up loving himself up in the process. Tony burke tried to use,Ajax spray and wipe on a Sydney nolan frame...Yes...Really... lets use AJAX on a 120,000 dollar artwork Malcom turnball trying to use a Phone with winter gloves on was quite comical......... this was back before he was PM. about 5 trys till he figured it out that the screen wont recognize them when ur gloved Also MPs occasionally like to pull pranks on each other.. Tony burke broke into albos office to fit one of those airhorns to albos gas lift chair so the next time he sat down it went off..it did..Loudly Albo retaliated by befriending the APH SEC and having them put up the mobile bollards behind his (tonys) car and then locked them so he couldn't get in his car till the next day... TIPS HAT. Albo also took burkeys license plates off his car so he couldn't drive anywhere. This then proceeded to spiral out of control the next few day's until one of them put a smoked tuna Whole in the wrong persons suitcase to make it stink...Thinking it was the others lol. Penny wong stuck 2 dollar coins all over the walkway to the ladys bathroom with glue to see who would be a tight rear end and pick them up.(i mean it's 2 bucks who aint gonna bend over for that. few of them are still there and i hear new ppl try to pick them up all the time..well played penny. A certain Boat Stopping MP trying to Pair his laptop with his Printer wirelessy,having services come up to explain to him the Printer has no wireless functionality...This went on for about 10 minutes apparently. Seeing a distraught Gillard trying to cut up a western bulldogs jersey while yelling,ABJECT loving FAILURES IM DONE WITH THEM almost in pure rage and wanting to bitch out the coach from st kilda was a pretty humanising moment as well.. she must be eating crow now. So just remember as much as they may act like dickheads they still do stupid poo poo like me or you...

And it occurred to me that Donald's list has more to it than that. You know how pollies like to use "disaster" to slip in a new regime because they claimed you gave them the mandate to? Well Mal and Donald now (and soon most of the West if I'm right) have lists and laws to prevent ANY migration at all. Why do you think they'd want that? Have a wild guess.

The news report I saw earlier just said something like "sources report that Trump gave assurances that the deal would be honoured...". That would fit that idea. Don't come out and openly lie, but leak to the media the lie, then when it doesn't happen everyone will just chalk it up as another thing on the Trump bonfire.

Same thing we've always had - an alliance with the world's largest maritime power, ensuring our trade goes where we need it to in order to maintain our standard of living. Though personally I am all for pursuing an independent foreign policy, it would be very very... tricky.

Also so that you can prepare them for the stress of year one exams in a safe environment before being thrust into that anxiety filled situation.
