George Habash
Innes took an interest in immigration and ethnic affairs, arguing for extending an amnesty and instituting an appeals process for refugees, opposing political deportations and ministerial control of deportations, protecting ethnic radio stations and protesting moves to apply more restrictive criteria to Lebanese migrants. He also had an interest in the Middle East, touring Israel in 1976 and visiting Libya and Lebanon in 1978, meeting with George Habash on the latter trip. He was also a repeated critic of the investigation into and prosecution of suspects in the Sydney Hilton Hotel bombing.
