Aussie gov't and the detained US peace activist
Australia: "Immigration lawyer Julian Burnside is today calling on the Federal Government to reveal why it revoked US peace activist, Scott Parkin's visa.
"And Mr Burnside says the Government could be breaking its own laws by leaning on Mr Parkin to abandon his appeal against the decision.
"But the Federal Attorney-General, Philip Ruddock has defended the Federal Government's decision to detain the US peace activist, who is still in police custody in Melbourne.
"Mr Ruddock does concede though, that Mr Parkin was not considered a security risk when he was granted an Australian visa."
