Ministerial blunders spark Australian indignation over Filipino visa ban
Melbourne March 29 The Minister for Immigration Mr ALA Cavell faced criticism as General MacArthur’s request for Filipino Sergeant Lorenzo Gambon to visit his wife and two children in Australia was rejected. Lib member Mr Holt faulted the government’s stance, arguing wartime gratitude and allied goodwill have been eroded by perceived ministerial arrogance toward Asiatic nations and the Dutch. Mrs Lorenza Gamboa and her children, born to an American father, would reportedly have no trouble entering the United States, while Australian officials cited Walklington as the point of entry.
