Kris Faafoi did overstep his authority by contacting the associate immigration minister about Jason Kerrison's stepfather, but it's good he wasn't sacked, writes Steve Elers. OPINION: The recently reported exchange between Opshop singer Jason Kerrison and government minister Kris Faafoi was a learning experience for all involved. Their text messages and Facebook exchanges show the former associate minister of immigration promised Kerrison that he would "speed things up". In other words, simply by contacting the associate immigration minister about the application on behalf of his friend, Faafoi was endorsing it. Do you think that Faafoi contacted the associate immigration minister's office about their respective cases?
