Stating this, Queensland Health Minister Stephen Robertson, whose department sponsored Haneef to work at the Gold Coast Hospital, said he would be happy to have Haneef back.
Haneef’s lawyers meanwhile released the full transcript the second interview with the Australian Federal Police. His solicitor Peter Russo said the full transcript was being made public at Haneef’s request to counter the selective release of information by Australian authorities.
Stephen Robertson said, “We’ve made it clear that we are prepared to accept Dr Haneef back if that is the outcome of the extraordinary processes that he’s been put through by an increasingly incompetent federal minister.”
Robertson was quoted by The Australian as saying  he understood Haneef could be re-registered in September. Russo was quoted as saying, “He (Haneef) wants all of the matters raised with him by Federal Police and his answers to those questions put into the public arena.”
The police translation of the chat-room conversation between Haneef and his brother appears at the very end of the interview when  Haneef and the officers were all obviously fatigued.
“It should be noted that  Haneef’s attempts to correct the translation of the chat room conversation had been brushed aside by the police questioners with a promise that those corrections could be made at the end,” he said.
“Haneef had attempted to ring London detective, Tony Webster, who, he had been advised by Sabeel’s mother, wanted to ask him some questions about his SIM card, three times, before the chat room conversation and tried to do so again after or during the chat room conversation at 4.32pm on July 2,” Russo said. “Importantly, Haneef specifically said that he was ringing so that he could explain his position (“clear himself”) and so that the police knew that, although he was leaving, he was not absconding,” Russo added.
VISA DECISION
It was based on broader info: Andrews
Melbourne, PTI: Australian Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews on Wednesday said the public release of the second police interview of Mohammed Haneef does not alter the reasons for his decision to revoke the Indian doctor’s visa as it was based on broader information.
His remarks came after Haneef’s lawyer Peter Russo made public a full transcript of the second interview held with his client after his arrest at Brisbane airport on July 2 over the failed UK terror plot. It followed  Andrews’ selective release of information in the transcript last month, to justify his decision to cancel Haneef’s visa.
Andrews, according to media reports, said the information he used in deciding on July 16 to cancel Haneef’s visa was broader than the information garnered from any police interviews with the Indian national, who was absolved of terror charges.
