Qasim 'excited' about prospect of freedom.:
"'He's been in detention around seven years now, so you can understand he's absolute jubilation at the news and he's just looking forward to getting out and putting together some semblance of a life.'"
I bet Peter Qasim cannot believe his ears. After so long, the thought of freedom must be alien to him. No wonder he's been so severely depressed. Dick Smith has been fighting for his cause and will now take up supporting the David Hicks' case. The question of whether the bridging visa will help has been raised. It has to be a bridge to a better life or there is no point in making an offer. A number of people are ready to step in and help pave the way and soften the transition for Peter Qasim, so I hope all the goodwill and faith brings us a subsequent success story of what Australia is really about.
