The Herald Sun ran it on the front page this morning like it was finished work, the tobacco war kingpin and evil plot. Killer drones, a judge’s kids in the Green Zone and the family in Sydney begging Canberra for visas. Kazem Hamad in the yellow shirt next to the Lambo photo they never get tired of. This hit piece was Jon Kaila’s grand exclusive. Four hours old and already being treated like gospel.
Hamad isn’t a choirboy, that’s not the argument. He got deported and Iraq allegedly locked him up in January. The Karkh Criminal Court gave him life on 28 July for drug trafficking and The Iraqis said Australia helped build the file. The AFP said ask the Iraqis when I asked for more information.
