High Court bid to help mother
Jeff Kennett slams sympathy campaign as scurrilous, immoral.
By CAROLYN WEBB .and SANDRA McKAY
Lawyers for Mrs. Teresa Cabal, the Mexican mother being held as an illegal
immigrant, will appeal to the high Court to overturn an Immigration
Department decision refusing her and her children refugee status.
The challenge, for which the papers were filed in the High Court in
Melbourne, is based on grounds of errors in law.
A lawyer for Mrs. Cabal has described as heartless and unjust a government
ruling yesterday that he can not be released to see her .children at
Christmas.
The Premier, Mr. Jeff Kennert, said it was rubbish to feel compassion for
Mrs. Cabal or her husband, Mr. Carlos Cabal, who is wanted by the Mexican
government for allegedly embezzling $1 billion from his own bank.
A sympathy campaign to reunite Mrs. Cabal with her children for Christmas
was scurrilous and immoral and reflected badly on Australia's quest to
extradite Mr. Christopher Skase, Mr. Kennett said.
Mrs. Cabal had asked the Immigration Minister, Mr. Philip Ruddock, for
special permission to temporarily leave the Maribyrnong Detention centre to
attend Mass and celebrate Christmas with her three daughters and son, aged
seven to 14, today.
But the Immigration Department yesterday refused, saying the rules don't
permit it and to favor one person's wishes would be unfair to others.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Immigration said Mrs. Cabal's detention
status under the Migration Act had been confirmed by the Immigration Review
Tribunal and the Federal Court.
"The department is sympathetic to Mrs. Cabal's family to spend Christmas
together," the spokeswoman said. "But there are currently over 400 people in
immigration detention, who either arrived unlawfully in Australia or have
overstayed their visas. Many of these people would also like to be released
for Christmas too, but it is totally impracticable to do so.
Mr. Kennett said he felt sorry for the four children who were innocent
pawns, but had no sympathy for their parents, who had avoided authorities by
travelling the world under false identities.
It would be hypocritical for Australian authorities to give the Cabals
favorable treatment when it was attempting to extradite Christopher Skase
from Spain. "You can't on one hand argue for Christopher Skase to be brought
back to Australia and stand trial and, on the other hand, expect that the
Australian authorities are going to do anything else or anything less that
uphold the law in the correct way”, he told radio 3AW yesterday.
Mr. Kennett said it was immoral and scurrilous to be promoting sympathy for
the Cabals. He said a Melbourne public relations company was being paid a
six-digit figure by the Cabals to help win favorable press treatment in the
Herald Sun.
"I think it is absolutely scurrilous ... (and) immoral to take money from a
person who is obviously this position and then try and have us, the public,
feel guilty because the children are being denied access to the parents."
Mr. Michael Smith, from the public relations company IPR Shandwick. declined
to respond to Mr. Kennett’s comments last night, but said that at this stage
the two youngest children would not visit their mother at the Maribyrnong
Detention Centre during visiting hours today. "They would rather not see
each other than to spend Christmas at the detention centre."
Lawyers said yesterday Mrs. Cabal and her sister-in-law Monserrat Gonzalez
Karras would re-apply to the Immigration Department for bridging visas early
next week, which would let them be released. Applications had also been made
in the High Court to overturn an Immigration Department decision refusing
refugee status for Mrs. Cabal brother Marco Bertran and Mrs. Karras.
