Human rights activist and WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson was stopped at a London airport on the basis that she is on an “inhibited fly list.” Her Australian colleagues reacted with uproar, demanding an explanation.

Upon arriving at Heathrow airport to catch a flight back to Australia, Jennifer Robinson tweeted "just delayed from checking in because I'm apparently "inhibited" – requiring approval from Australia House @dfat to travel.” She was referring to the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

She had to gain clearance from the Australian High Commissioner before boarding the plane.

Security personnel at the Heathrow Terminal told her that she must have done something “controversial” because they were required to call the Australian high commission in the UK.

by the Russians.

8. Yeah, and why is the Australian Commissioner high? Booze or drugs?

2. Now, it's the Russians who can criticize the US/UK/AUS for such human rights "inhibitions."

We have met the enemy . . .

3. The High Commissioner must not be a very busy person.

To take such a personal interest in Australian citizen's travel itineraries.

4. When did doing something controversial become grounds for interfering with travel, anyways?

Wouldn't that disallow ALL politicians from traveling? And most entertainers? And most capitalists?

6. Which gives rise to the question: Are we going to stop the corruption

or just let it happen?

9. We have been letting it happen for over a decade

Why stop now?

I have repeatedly said we are a de facto police state, and yet, people call me "alarmist".
