The prime minister has lobbied his Thai counterpart to return Melbourne-based refugee Hakeem al-Araibi (al-ah-ray-bee) to Australia. The 25-year-old footballer is wanted by Bahrain on vandalism charges, which he maintains are politically motivated. Scott Morrison wrote to the Thai prime minister last week, saying al-Araibi (al-ah-ray-bee) is a refugee who has been given a permanent protection visa. It's understood Mr Morrison has not heard back from the Thai government.
