The Party Of Values

Surely Kevin Andrews will pledge his full support to the enquiry?

UPDATE: Andrews says he will cooperate, but only his divine and almighty God knows why he would be needed, as it is certainly not his fault:
He says when cancelling Dr Haneef's visa, he relied on a brief of evidence provided to his department by the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

"It wasn't open to me to rely upon extraneous matters because had I done so it would have been claimed, or could have been claimed, that I had therefore used improper motives," he said.

"I acted on the brief of evidence and I acted on the interpretation of the law as it was understood at the time."
