I am convinced that I am innocent. The charges are baseless.

Australian people, God willing, have no problem with Islam. However, usually, Australian leaders do influence their people a lot to make enemy of Islam, especially the incumbent prime minister.

I very much disagree with the bombings, whatever the reasons, in a peaceful place including Bali, which definitely sacrificed innocent people.

We investigated the allegations and charges that were made and found them to be baseless,

If these are baseless charges, it'll be OK. On the other hand, if there's something there, and it leads to him having to step out of office, it may be time to do some repair work and that may not have the consequences you would expect,

I am 100% innocent and the charges against me are 100% false.
