Suspect arrested despite Macquarie Uni. Sex Assault attempted cover up?..........


Macquarie University 'failed' to call police after sex assault, 2GB's Ray Hadley revealed

A YOUNG Sri Lankan man arrested over the sexual assault of a female student at Macquarie University in Sydney's northwest is an asylum seeker, immigration officials have confirmed.




However, the accused man was not living in student accommodation at Macquarie University at the time of the attack, an immigration department spokeswoman said this afternoon.

Police say the 20-year-old student was asleep in a student accommodation building at the uni when a man broke into her room and indecently assaulted her about 3.20am last Thursday.

The woman woke up during the attack and the man fled.

Police say they arrested a 21-year-old Sri Lankan national at Railway Square in Sydney's CBD on Tuesday morning and took him to Surry Hills police station for questioning.

Macquarie University provides services for asylum seekers, including temporary accommodation, under a 2012 agreement with the Red Cross Asylum Seeker Assistance Scheme (ASAS).

It was claimed earlier today, the university failed to call police immediately after security was told of the indecent assault.
The victim waited almost eight hours for help, 2GB's Ray Hadley revealed this morning.



He said a security guard came to the girl's unit about 10 minutes after the indecent assault and that he may have touched parts of the crime scene.

The victim and her flatmates assumed police had been called after the 3.20am attack but uniformed officers and detectives only came after the young women called them around 11am.

A BOAT carrying 68 people was intercepted off the north-west coast on the weekend.

The vessel was discovered to the north-east of Ashmore Islands on Saturday night and HMAS Maitland, under the control of the Border Protection Command was called to assist.

It is the 25th boat arrival for the year with more than 3000 people arriving by boat since December 1.

As a result of safety concerns due to poor weather conditions the 68 asylum seekers were embarked in HMAS Maitland under the coordination of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC Australia).

A statement from the office of the Minister for Home Affairs Jason Clare said the people would be transferred to Darwin to undergo initial health, security and identity checks.

The vessel was first detected by a Customs and Border Protection Dash-8 surveillance aircraft.

Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Scott Morrison and Shadow Minister for Justice, Customs and Border Protection, Michael Keenan said it was an "all time record summer of illegal boat arrivals", with more than 1000 extra people arriving this summer than last summer.

"Disturbingly not even the treacherous conditions of the monsoon season, with reports of a cyclone continuing to develop off our north-west coast this evening, are dissuading people smugglers," Mr Morrison said.

"Labor's border protection crisis is reaching new levels of failure and still they have no answer to stopping the boats."

Australia 2013 Who would have thought?


Free speech stoned to death

IF you needed proof that free speech in Australia is on the run, look at what happened when Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders came to town.

With 10 per cent of the vote in Holland, Wilders is a mainstream politician, leading the third largest political party in one of the most tolerant liberal democracies in the world. Yet in Australia he is treated like a pariah, denied a visa for months, and unable to secure a venue for his speaking tour in Perth.


Geert Wilders: Another Pignoramus from the Seven Network "Interviews" Geert Wilders




Instead of a "welcome to country" before he spoke to audiences in Sydney and Melbourne last week, organisers had to read aloud a statement of Victoria's racial and religious tolerant act.

As much as anything, this curious legal requirement adhered to by the Melbourne-based Q society which hosted Wilders, explains why Australians are open to his message of creeping Islamisation.

That and the enormous security needed to guard him from assassins 24-hours-a-day.

It is shameful that of all the Western democracies Geert Wilders has visited it turns out, Australia is the most repressive.

Not only did more than 30 venues refuse to host him or cancel at the last minute, politicians denounced him and in Melbourne protesters tried to block the entrance of the function hall where he was speaking and pushed at least one attendee to the ground in violent clashes.

This of course is great publicity for Wilders. When you meet him in person, he is much more normal than his image would suggest. The shock of hair isn't quite so yellow and he presents as a tall, well-dressed, quietly spoken, articulate politician with perfect English.

"I have no problem with Muslims," he said reasonably on a balcony in an undisclosed location on Sydney harbour, with yachts clinking nearby, and an armed bodyguard even nearer.

"The majority of them are not extremist. But there is no such thing as moderate Islam."

As proof he spoke of of gays being beaten up by Muslims in Amsterdam "once the most tolerant city in Europe", of high crime statistics for Moroccan youth in Holland, the over-representation of Somalis on welfare, of suburbs looking like Mecca. In Europe he says "it is almost too late, but Australia can learn from the mistakes."

He says although he is not religious, he feels a sense of "mission" which he loves, although he has had to sacrifice his freedom, living with his Hungarian-born wife Krisztina for nine years like a prisoner, surrounded by bodyguards, moving from safe house to safe house.

He is strongest on his attacks on cultural relativism which he calls "the biggest political disease which says that all cultures are equal.

"They are not. I'm proud to say our Judeo Christian humanist culture is much better than the barbaric Islamic culture."

It was a message that struck a chord in Sydney, on Friday night, at speeches hosted by the Q society, which is named after the Melbourne suburb of Kew where its first meeting was held, and is dedicated to "preserving western values and making the discussion of Islam a respectable topic of debate," says member Marshall Ahern, a Lidcombe businessman. Unlike in Melbourne, the unionists and student socialist groups protesting outside the Liverpool function hall on Friday night were fairly quiet.

"I don't think he should be able to come here and say disgusting racist ideas," said Amy Thomas, 26, a UTS arts student.

Inside, Wilders said he just wants the right to state his views without being killed or put on trial as he was in Holland. The threat of an assassin is real. Two weeks ago his friend, Lars Hedegaard, a 70-year-old Danish journalist and a critic of Islam, was shot at.

Wilders invited the audience to "make up your own mind on who I am and what I really stand for."

Then he claimed Sydney was the Australian city "where Islamisation has progressed the worst.

"This city needs to hear the truth about the dangerous ideology of Islam ."

He complained that he had to wait five weeks for a visa to Australia.

But a radical sheik who calls Jews "rats, apes and monkeys or the scum of the human race" and will be visiting Sydney in a few weeks, "gets a visa within a day".

He said he wanted to warn Australia about Islam which he claims is "predominantly a totalitarian ideology striving for world dominance.

"I believe Islam and freedom are incompatible.

"The more Islamic a society becomes the less free and tolerant it will be even when the majority of Muslims are tolerant."

He cited suburbs in Holland, France and in Europe which have become no go zones for non-Muslims, where gays are attacked, alcohol confiscated, non-Muslim women forced to cover up, polygamy and female genital mutilation practised and the police dare not enter. Do you want all this to happen in Australia," he asked.

"No" shouted the audience.

He claimed Australia is heading down the same path.

"Your country too is facing stealth Jihad, and Islamic attempts to introduce Sharia law bit by bit.

He pointed to a proposed "Muslim enclave in Riverstone" , a Sydney sheik "who performs female genital mutilation, women walk around in hijabs, banks offer financial services compliant with Sharia law, separate segregated swimming hours for Muslim women, universities cater to Sharia demands for students but at the same time refuse to allow me to speak at their premises."

There was applause when he explained his platform: "No Sharia ... No more mosques. No more immigration from Islamic countries." But he received his loudest applause when he slammed as "most dangerous of all are the attempts of governments all over our Western societies to draft bills that restrict our freedom of speech under the pretext of discrimination or hate speech.

"I say we have to let the law protect us against Islam instead of selling us out to it."

The second loudest applause came when he praised Israel.

Much of what he says about the difficulties of Muslim integration in Europe is true.

But I couldn't help but wonder how it would feel for the decent law-abiding Australian Muslims I know to sit in that room.

What is wrong with a Muslim women wearing a headscarf?

What is wrong with painting an arrow on the floor of a jail cell pointing to Mecca?

What is wrong with Muslims building a mosque to pray in?

And why keep calling Muhammed a paedophile?

Some of what Wilders says is calculated to cause offence, and so if he is snubbed, he can blame himself.

But you don't have to agree with everything he says to acknowledge that he has the right to say it.

And as one audience member on Friday night said: "If he's a far right extremist, he's the first one I've heard who supports Jews and gays."

Alia Bak El Hassan and Ghazwa El Hassan GUILTY


The Shire stars Sophie Kalantzis and Vernesa Toroman in witness stand over street brawl

IT started as a spat over Facebook comments, but for two larger-than-life reality TV performers a confrontation quickly degenerated into public hair-pulling, wrestling and knives allegedly being waved across a cafe table.


I have to say that I find it abhorrent to think that anyone would want to harm either of these two precious gifts to mankind and full marks to the Magistrate in dispatching, in my opinion justice  correctly.

Surgically-enhanced The Shire stars Sophie Kalantzis and Vernesa Toroman this afternoon took the witness box as two sisters who attacked them faced Burwood Court.

The pneumatic pair said Alia Bak El Hassan and Ghazwa El Hassan came from nowhere and started screaming insults - calling them "Shire sluts" and "whores" - as they were about to have breakfast at a Rhodes cafe in August.

Kalantzis said she put her hair up and prepared to defend herself after Alia El Hassan came at her yelling: "We put your numbers on Facebook, sucked in you sluts."

"I pay $1000 for my hair ... I'm not going to let girls stand there and bash me," Kalantzis said.

Toroman admitted grabbing a butter knife and a glass from the table - but only after Alia El Hassan started waving what appeared to be a blade.

A brawl then broke out between the four women in an incident which was caught on several bystanders' mobile phones.

Magistrate Brian Maloney said the El Hassan sisters had clearly been the aggressors and he found Ghazwa El Hassan guilty of assault and affray, handing her an 18-month, good-behaviour bond.

"People don't want to see four girls fighting in the street, it debases women - all women," he said.

Alia El Hassan pleaded guilty to affray and will be sentenced next month.

Racism Down Under: Sri Lankan Dr Aron Kondasinghe Sudath, banned for two years

Disgraced doctor banned for two years

A DISGRACED doctor convicted of raping his wife has been banned from practicing for at least two years after a tribunal found he was still more worried about his own fall from grace than any harm he had done to the victim.



Dr Aron Kondasinghe Sudath, who previously practiced at Bega Hospital among other locations, was stripped of his medical license after a failed attempt to have his suspension lifted.

He was previously jailed for nearly four years for raping and assaulting his ex-wife, and was only released on parole in November 2011.

At a Medical Tribunal hearing last week, the former GP and surgeon claimed he believed his traditional, Sri Lankan marriage entitled him to "unconditional consent" for sex with his wife.

He also blamed the victim for initiating intercourse with him then suddenly stopping before he forced himself on her - a version which a judge and jury didn't buy.

In its judgement, the tribunal said Dr Sudath's versions of both the rape and a later assault - which the doctor completed denied - were "unreliable and implausible".

And while it accepted there may have been some "cultural element" to the doctor's crime, the tribunal was "unimpressed" with his belief an Australian woman deserved greater consideration than his Sri Lankan bride.

This SAYS it ALL, Bear in mind this MORON said the following in his DEFENCE

Dr Sudath told the tribunal he didn't believe he had the right to have non-consensual sex with a previous wife because he had "full respect for her".

"She was a nice blonde, blue-eyed girl from Port Lincoln, Australia - not a Sri Lankan girl," he said.

The tribunal also found Dr Sudath's declarations of remorse for having hurt his wife in the rape were insincere and "more an expression of regret of his own downfall" than concern for the victim.

"There was also an overwhelming impression that the respondent was concerned to tell the tribunal what he perceived it wished to hear in order to enhance his chances of remaining a medical practitioner," it said.

Dr Sudath argued he should be able to keep practicing with conditions because he had a lot to offer the community as a doctor.

But the tribunal rejected the submission and instead cancelled his registration, banning him from re-applying for two years.
