Climate change - Labor believes the end is nigh

Copy of 5 8 2011 Climate change - Labor believes the end is nigh FIRST it was floods and famine, now it is disease that the ALP says will get us if we don't stop climate change.

Minister for Human Services Tanya Plibersek's prediction this week that global warming would wipe out the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu and much of Australia's food supply earned her the unofficial title of prophet of doom.

But she might have a worthy deputy in Western Sydney MP David Bradbury. In a recent statement, Mr Bradbury warned that climate change would result locally in an outbreak of serious disease.

"Without taking action, Australia is expected to experience higher rates of infectious and vector-borne diseases as well as food and waterborne diseases," he said.

Vector-borne diseases currently in Australia include dengue fever, malaria and Ross River fever.

Ironically, Mr Bradbury was speaking at the time to protest against what he described as the Coalition's "scaremongering" tactics.

Yesterday, Mr Bradbury said a range of scientific bodies had highlighted the impacts of climate change on human health, including the World Health Organisation and the Australian Medical Association.

Liberal senator for Western Sydney Marise Payne said Mr Bradbury should be more concerned about the immediate effects of a carbon tax on his local community.

"If what Mr Bradbury is saying is not scare tactics, I don't know what is," the Liberal Senator said.

The Coalition claims soaring electricity prices will cost Nepean Hospital $150,000-$300,000 more a year.

"The implications of the carbon tax cannot be blithely wiped aside," Ms Payne said.

"It means three nursing professionals or three other medical professionals on the ground and assisting patients at Nepean Hospital."

Australian Medical Association president Steve Hambleton said the extreme weather events caused by climate change could increase the risk of disease, particularly with flooding and waterborne illness.

Copy of 4 8 2011 Bradbury bites back Federal Member for Lindsay, David Bradbury, today accused State Member for Penrith, Stuart Ayres, of using dodgy figures to exaggerate the effects of carbon pricing on the health care system.
“Stuart Ayres will not reveal the details of the modelling he relies upon because he is using dodgy figures to create fear about the impact of the carbon price.” Mr Bradbury said.
In a statement today, Mr Bradbury's office said Treasury modelling indicates that the impact of a carbon price on the cost of hospital and medical services will be minimal – around 0.3% based on a $23 carbon price.
“Failing to act on Climate Change will come at a greater cost to the health system overtime.” Mr Bradbury said.
“Without taking action, Australia is expected to experience higher rates of infectious and vector-borne diseases as well as food and water borne diseases.
“If Stuart Ayres is serious about delivering better health services, he should spend less time on opportunistic media stunts about Federal issues and more time explaining to the nurses and paramedics of Nepean Hospital why his Government is stripping away their pay and conditions."
100 public sector workers rallied in protest outside Mr Ayres’ office this week, representing the 12,000 public sector workers who live and work in Penrith and surrounding areas.
“Stuart Ayres should leave the media stunts on Federal issues to Tony Abbott and instead explain to our local public sector workers why his Government is taking away their rights," Mr Bradbury said.

Western Australia:The “Ususal Suspects” scream racism …. again.

Row over pub use in Muslim woman's soccer case

WA soccer is at the centre of a discrimination row after governing body Football West insisted that a disciplinary hearing involving a female Muslim player be held at a Perth pub last night.

Row over pub use in Muslim woman's soccer caseNoranda Wolves player Hanan Anwan, 22, was given a red card and sent off during a Division 1 State Women's League match against Cockburn City on July 17 after an incident she and coach Gordon Doutre claim was sparked when the opposition goalkeeper attempted to pull off her religious headdress.

Ms Anwan, an Australian-born Muslim and former Wolves' best and fairest player, wears a head scarf during matches in accordance with her Islamic faith.

Ms Anwan, a teacher at a Perth Christian school, was sent off by the referee for "violent conduct", defined under soccer's laws as "excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for

the ball".

The referee's report, which Ms Anwan does not dispute, says she shoved the Cockburn goalkeeper to the ground.

In addition to an automatic one-match ban for a red card, Football West imposed an extra match ban for "violent conduct", a decision Noranda sought to appeal against.

No penalty was enforced against the Cockburn goalkeeper.

But Football West's insistence the appeal be heard at the Inglewood Hotel has touched off claims of insensitivity towards the religious belief of Ms Anwan, who has never been to a hotel or consumed

alcohol.

"It's turned from a red card into a completely different issue," Ms Anwan said. "Something as simple as me just wanting to appeal against my red card so I don't have to miss games has turned into, I don't

know what you would call it … racist issue? A discrimination issue? I don't know."

Mr Doutre said the decision flew in the face of international body FIFA's programs to promote tolerance and diversity.

"I think FIFA, the (international) governing body, would be absolutely ropable about this, to find that a governing body that is representing them in WA is behaving like this."

On Monday, Noranda club secretary Erika Blake tried to have the hearing shifted to another venue on the grounds of cultural insensitivity.

The reply from Football West general manager of competitions and operations Keith Wood said in part: "(W)e understand your point but we live in a country and society in which the consumption of alcohol

is permitted and part of Australian culture."

Ms Anwan said she was considering taking the matter to the Equal Opportunity Commission.

Mr Doutre said the club would "back her 100 per cent".

Last night, Football West chief executive Peter Hugg stood by the decision, saying the hearing was in a function room and Ms Anwan could enter the room without walking through the hotel's bar.

"It's not as if we're making her drink, or making her walk through the bar - she doesn't need to go anywhere near it," he said.

"If someone wants to make a discrimination case of this it's a shame, but we don't believe it to be and we don't think we're acting insensitively."

Labor MP Ljiljanna Ravlich, who was contacted by Mr Doutre, said Football West was being "bloody minded". "There should be no racism in sport and this has a touch of discrimination, about it," she said.

'It's not as if we're making her drink, or making her walk through the bar.' " FOOTBALL WEST'S PETER HUGG

Islam / Muslims can ONLY exist as a Disruptive Minority or as an Oppressive Majority......there is 1400 years of history to prove it.

"There should be no racism in sport and this has a touch of discrimination, about it," BTW What Race is Islam again?
