Australian senator Nick Xenophon, who was deported from Malaysia yesterday, says he believes he is the first Australian MP to be deported from any country.
Malaysia boleh?
The deportation has created an international incident. Another major public relations fiasco for the Najib administration hot on the heels of the Psy gaffes.
Xenophon says he may challenge the deportation in the Malaysian courts. Meanwhile he intends to frame the deportation notice:

Aliran has issued a statement saying it is appalled by the deportation.
Meanwhile, read about the latest reaction in Australia to Xenophon’s deportation. Prime Minister Julia Gillards has said she is disappointed with the treatment of Senator Xenophon.
Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr said: ” “We think it is sad for a friendly country to deport an Australian member of Parliament, who was up there for peaceful purposes.”
It is amazing that the Malaysian authorities appear so worried about foreign scrutiny of the electoral process.
Will the PM and his wife be visiting Australia for the next New Year’s Eve fireworks display in Sydney?
