Who's Al-Katep?

Does this man not have a first name? And what is the deal with giving NO background information on him until one of the last paragraphs (ie, implying that he would be from Palestine, should such a country exist).- Laikalynx 02:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added info on background (though no first name). Janet13 02:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who's Godwin?

Can't work out who Godwin is. Anybody know? Clappingsimon talk 05:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Phillippa Godwin, a department secretary, but I see you've already found that and added it in! I didn't include it originally because she wasn't a party personally, only on behalf of the department. --bainer (talk) 02:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What happened next?

After reading this article, I wanted to know what happened to Al-Kateb - is he still in detention? Can someone write an article on him giving more information?

Also, has Australian immigration law been amended to clarify its application to stateless persons? If so, a mention of this should be added to this article.

Typically, indefinitely means forever. Presumably, he is a prisoner of Australia for the rest of his existence. Like a slave. Hope I'm wrong.-Laikalynx 02:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is he stateless?

I think that should be explained promptly. :) Xiner 02:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Am I missing something? I can't find an explanation, though I infer from the judge's comments that it has something to do with him being of Palestinian extraction? Unmake 02:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
