Australia is a haven for nazi war criminals

Australia is described as: .
The only country in the Western world to which large numbers of Nazi collaborators and criminals (at least several hundreds if not several thousands) emigrated after World War II which has hereto failed to take successful legal action against a single one. Australia closed down its Special Investigations Unit on June 30, 1992 at a time when highly important documentation was first becoming available in the former Soviet republics, where most of the crimes carried out by the Nazis living in Australia had been committed.
The Australian government which passed legislation enabling criminal prosecution in Australia but which failed to achieve a single conviction has refused to switch to denaturalization and/or deportation, methods being used with outstanding success, primarily in the United States, but also in Canada. ( Simon Wiesenthal Centre, Nazi War Criminals Prosecution-Annual Status Report April 2001, 18 April 2001.)
The events that have, more recently, surrounded the case of Konrad Kalejs might suggest that Australia was finally getting tough with Nazi war criminals. But, in the end, I suspect that Mark Aarons is right when he says .
It is too little, too late. The highest probability is that the last Nazi in the world will die peacefully in his bed in Australia. We have done virtually nothing, … I can't escape having to draw the conclusion that neither the Latvian or Australian government have any enthusiasm for it. -

A history of cover-up
This is the third time that Kalejs has been given refuge in Australia after deportation overseas. The first instance was in 1994, following his removal from the US. After a brief stay, pressure from Jewish groups and anti-Nazi activists caused him to flee to Canada, to be deported from there in 1997. In early 1998, amid protests, Prime Minister Howard personally issued a statement defending the government's decision to take no action against Kalejs, on the grounds that a Federal Police review of his files had failed to produce adequate evidence for a prosecution.
In fact, the only probe into Kalejs and other Nazi war criminals living in Australia, conducted by the federal government's Special Investigations Unit (SIU), was controversially shut down by the previous Keating Labor government in 1992, with the support of Howard's Liberal-National Party. At the time it had 57 cases unresolved and had just applied to send investigators to Latvia to obtain the testimony needed to prosecute another Nazi, Karlis Ozols, one of Kalejs' associates. “The government pulled the pin,” commented Robert Greenwood QC, who headed the SIU. According to the SIU's official historian, Professor Konrad Kwiet, the SIU had gathered “five or six volumes” of material against Kalejs.

Are there war criminals in Australia?
Until a domestic law enforcement agency is given the resources to investigate allegations of war criminals living in Australia it is impossible to determine with any accuracy how many are living within our borders. However, there are good reasons to believe that significant numbers are living here. We already know that suspected war criminals have slipped through Australian border checks. The 1986 Menzies Review of Nazi war criminals living in Australia identified ‘very substantial gaps’ in Australia’s initial post-WWII war crimes screening procedures. The SIU, established in response, conducted 841 investigations and identified 27 cases where it ‘was satisfied that the suspect had committed serious war crimes but was not able to gather sufficient evidence for prosecution under the War Crimes Act’. Some WWII suspects are still alive today. Officials privately suggest that screening has been a problem at other times since WWII.
In the public mind war criminals seem to be commonly associated with greying men from WWII. However, as the Simon Wiesenthal Center – an organisation dedicated to pursuing Nazi war criminals – points out, Australia is probably now facing its final opportunity to take successful legal action against suspected Nazi war criminals.
Modern war criminals are a far more significant problem for Australia. It was reported in 2005 that people who had been denied refugee protection on the basis of involvement in war crimes had come from Afghanistan, Palestine, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Lebanon, Sierra Leone, Bangladesh, Tibet, Nigeria, Chile, Iran, Iraq and India. 15 It is likely that Australia is also home to suspected war criminals from the countries of the former Yugoslavia, as well as Cambodia, and possibly Rwanda and East Timor among others.
The fact that other countries continue to request the extradition of alleged war criminals from Australia – albeit in small numbers – offers another reason for suspecting they are living here.
Another reason for suspecting that a significant number of war criminals are living in Australia comes from examining the experience of a comparable country – Canada – that has dedicated resources to addressing the problem of resident war criminals.
As Tanya Plibersek stated in a debate in parliament on crimes against humanity:
‘Mr Deputy Speaker, you can imagine someone walking into a community centre who spies across the room someone whom they believe to be responsible for the deaths of their family members...I am not saying for a moment that an accusation is all that is required, but we at least owe it to the victims of these crimes to examine their claims, and we owe it to ourselves as a nation to be confident that we are not sheltering people here who have committed such crimes.'

What happened to the noisy pussy alter-ego "flapdoodle" ?
Decide to let it doodle-off ?
Is the noisy pussy attempting to justify the actions of the PAP Government in their act of knowingly allow the various economic swindlers of neighbouring States, and drug-warlords to stay in Singapore, by comparing such acts with Australia allowing Nazi criminals to slip into the country ?
Obviously the noisy pussy fail to note that the Australian Government had allowed the Nazi criminals to face extradiction proceedings, while the PAP Government in Singapore refused to even admit the existence of those who have been accused of commiting economic crimes and laundering drug money, and allow these criminals to reside in Singapore.
