Australia bans Kid with Down syndrome!!!!!

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/10/31/australia.residency.denied.ap/index.html

YOu have GOT to be kidding me!
This man moved his family their to HELP the Australian Government. WHAT would the cost have been to the government had he NOT gone to help. And they are using his SON and the fact he has Down syndrome as a reason he can't stay? And I LOVE how they try to say it isn't the disability....ohhh...well okay then. Now you REALLY make no sense! I am just glad that there are so many Australian, German and American officials behind him. I hope this gets over turned for him. But in a way, let him go to a place where he and Lukas will be accepted and appreciated! He is doing a great thing and making a huge sacrifice, and all they can think about is Lukas' Down Syndrome. He is practically an adult now, which at this point doesn't need all the medical services and Therapies most kids with DS need when they are little. And...as the family said, they don't want or need any government help. Guess this goes to show you that they would rather 54000 people suffer with no quality medical care, than to have one "friendly kid" who just happens to have Down syndrome living in their Country. What YEAR is this?
