Fun fact: if you didn't pay for an Oz subscription you could afford to eat smashed avo once a week. Add to that a subscription cost to the SMH and you've got a coffee with your smashed avo.

Former Labor leader and media commentator Mark Latham has criticised Mr Joyce for pressing charges against Mr Overheu.

'Once you start campaigning like a politician, you've got to expect the odd form of protest,' he told Daily Mail Australia.

'If I was ever hit in the face by a soft pie, a cream pie, you wouldn't think for a minute about trying to get this guy locked up.'

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has suggested politics played a role in the blocking of his bid to deport six refugees, after some had travelled to Iran to go "back for a holiday".

One man, who had told the Federal Government he was at risk of execution in Iran, made three return trips to the country, while another travelled back to get married.

Mr Dutton wanted the men deported, along with four others.

But the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), which reviews decisions made by Federal Government ministers, departments and agencies, blocked the bid.

Mr Dutton said it was important to note the tribunal's president Justice Duncan Kerr, whose term expired yesterday, was a former federal Labor MP.

"When you look at some of the judgements that are made, the sentences that are handed down it's always interesting to go back to have a look at the appointment of the particular Labor Government of the day," Mr Dutton told Sydney radio station 2GB.

"Anyway, it's a frustration we live with."

Justice Kerr will remain as a Federal Court judge and Mr Dutton said the Government will make "new appointments" when they come up.

"We won't continue the appointments of some people and that's how the system works," he said.

Mr Dutton told Melbourne radio station 3AW it was frustrating when decisions made by him and Immigration Department officials are overturned by the AAT.

"Some of these cases are infuriating and without commenting on the six here there are many cases that I look at where, on the facts available to me, you shake your head," he said.

I just started on a myrepublic nbn internets (first wired in 10 years) and the modem's okayish, but unfortunately the local junction is only giving me 30/5. However, going from 300k/s to 3.4m/s is a big enough jump for now and I have to hope they'll improve.

FttN "NBN" turns on in my area in 10 days, I should be able to get 60/20 based on the map, but Whirlpool rightly calls it Node Lottery. Big improvement on my 400k/s, I'm in an area Telstra did on the super cheap in the 80s, lowest grade of copper, all sorts of short cuts and half baked ideas.

It sucks if this is the case as she always seemed to do a great job on immigration despite all the inherent challenges.

Ya that's basically what the NBN guy said. I'm actually closer and should get better speeds. Also the physical topology can be bizarre, like being next to a node but going hundreds of metres away to the junction (what's the jargon for that these days?)

What I don't understand is why the Greens hang on to her if it is that obvious. Are there any internal moves to get rid of her once her senate seat is up?
