Family man wants to get home

YAREN – A suspended opposition MP on Nauru says he’s frustrated at the Court’s decision to defer his appeal to get his passport back for two weeks.

Roland Kun’s passport was cancelled by the government after protests a week ago, preventing him from returning to New Zealand where he has been living since his suspension from parliament last year.

He says the Justice Minister, David Adeang, wrote to him explaining the cancellation was because he was deemed to be a security risk to the nation.

Kun denies this and has applied for a judicial review of the government’s decision, but the court on Saturday deferred hearing the application until July 8.

Kun says the decision is incredibly frustrating as he had nothing to do with the protests at parliament.

“It is very frustrating and it’s placing great strain on my family and it just adds to the frustration I’m facing at the moment that we’re just constantly facing deferrment on getting my issues heard.”
