Cornelia channels activist lawyer

Refugee advocate and lawyer, Claire O’Connor is now using a mentaly ill woman to attack the Government and it’s treatment of suspected illegal immigrants. Cornelia RAU aka BROTMEIER aka SCHMIDT, channelling Claire attacks the government.

She gave a long-winded speech yesterday, mixing the history of her detention with her thoughts on leading political issues. She also said that she supported Labor’s Kevin Rudd as prime minister over John Howard and that the US military should not be in Iraq, commented on Qantas and worried about excessive police power. “For me, the police seem to have too much power; I just think if we had more possibilities to have the army have more of a say (it would be better),” Ms Rau said.

I’m not sure what giving the Army more of a say has to do with the problem but it was most probably a case of a deranged woman adlibbing lines that Claire hadn’t fed her. When asked about giving an alias, Cornelia’s only comment was ‘I had my reasons’. The alias is the crutch of the matter. You can hardly blame the Queensland and Federal Police for thinking she may have been an alien when she clearly said she was and gave an alias that prevented anyone finding out the truth. I posted previously on Cornelia here and have yet to see any evidence that makes the government culpable for the affair. Of course, the issue with her medical diagnosis may have excacerbated the problem but that is a Queensland Health problem. With Queensland Health and the Beattie Government under seige for other stuff-ups anything could’ve happened. None of this is relevant of course as Queensland is a Labour state and the main point of Claires debate is to try and destabalize the Conservative Federal government. Not to say the poor woman shouldn’t get some help but it should only be the type available to any Australians in trouble. To compensate her for her self-inflicted trouble is simply not on.
