Who will the United States of America choose, Husseine Obama's Indonesia or the USA'S oldest ally?
No less than two days ago I spoke to a former Australian serviceman,who served alongside and healed American and Australian soldiers in World War Two for four years., so as to ensure the freedom of the Pacific as we know it today
I am not at liberty to reveal where and when,suffice to say my"informant" is 101 years of age and has recently finished his fourth book.
I dared not burden him with proof of the futility of his and his fellow Warriors, Australian and American's countless acts of self sacrifice and unimaginable courage, repelling an enemy who's only purpose was to destroy and occupy his and my country, Australia and from there the world.
Australia is,today, Australia, because of the sacrifice of Australia's finest and the sacrifice of America's finest.
Today 2014 only one nation has a leader who still believes in the virtue of the US Australian alliance ....Why?

Indonesia appeals to it's favourite Son, Husseine Obama to assist in it's Islamic Colonisation of Australia, as more US troops are based on Australian soil.
Australian PM Tony Abbott should immediately order the disarmament of,and place all US Military personnel on Australian soil under "house arrest" until such time as Indonesia's favourite Son in the White House aka. POTUS. Husseine Obama makes a clear and unambigious statement refuting the Indonesians/Islams right / claims to colonise Australia with Muslims via the previous Rudd / Gillard/ Rudd Union GetUp funded Australian Labor Green "Co Party" Governments joint criminal enterprise immigration policy of Open Borders aka. Islamic Colonisation of Australia by Stealth.
Under the Husseine Obama regime Australia can no longer regard America as an ally, but more as a Nation who has not once but twice voted for the ascendancy of the Islamic manifesto as promised by their President.
Indonesia to raise Australian asylum seeker policy with United States
ABC
By Helen Brown in Jakarta, staff
Indonesia says it will raise the Abbott Government's asylum seeker policy with the United States during official talks next week.
Jakarta has stepped up its protest to the Coalition's boat turn-back policy, calling in the Australian ambassador in Jakarta for a meeting with a senior official.
Indonesia's foreign affairs minister Marty Natalegawa says a strong protest message was given to Australian ambassador Greg Moriarty over the use of lifeboats to send asylum seekers back.
Dr Natalegawa says Australia was already violating its international commitments, but the use of lifeboats to send people back is an escalation.
"What Australia has been doing is a bigger development than before," he said.
"In the past when they have turned back the boats, or pulled the refugee boats back to Indonesia, that alone is a violation against their international commitment under the Refugee Convention.
"But this time it has escalated."
Dr Natalegawa told reporters Indonesia does what it can to stop boats leaving the country and that Australia's actions are "against the values of humanity".
He says he will inform US secretary of state John Kerry - who will visit Jakarta next week - about Australia's actions and let officials draw their own conclusions.
"There is no need to ask; we only need to inform it, and let America draw its own conclusion," he said.
Dr Natalegawa says he will discuss Australia's policy with other countries as well.

A bush hideaway has become the focus of a counterterrorism investigation amid fears it was used by Khaled Sharrouf

February 16,2014
LAND owner is used to shooting parties spending the weekend at his remote property, Rockview. But there was something about the group who turned up in November last year that made him uneasy.
The ground was covered “like a carpet” with spent ammunition, according to police.
Many of the bullets appeared to be aimed at a large tree, which authorities described as being “blistered” by bullets.
“They were on their guts shooting, like soldiers. It was very strange,” Mr Landry said. “They used, I think, 400 shots in an hour, one guy at a time. They were big guns as well.”
The booking was made under the name Jack. But when police arrived they allegedly found Khaled Sharrouf, convicted of plotting a terror attack in Sydney as one of the “terror nine”, his associate Omar Ammouche, a known counterintelligence target, an unnamed construction industry identity and an eight-year-old boy.
Officers seized four high-powered rifles at the scene.
Now the property at Glen Davis, near Lithgow, has become the focus of a multi-agency counterterrorism investigation amid fears it was used as a training ground by Sharrouf, who is believed to be in Syria after slipping out of the country illegally on his brother’s passport.
According to court documents police were called to the property on Crown Station Rd about 6.50pm on November 9 after complaints about noise. They arrived to find Sharrouf holding the butt of a CZ-brand bolt-action rifle with a scope attachment, against his right shoulder.
“The accused turned towards police and immediately placed the firearm on the ground upon seeing police. There was a large amount of spent ammunition on the ground,” the police statement of facts said.
“They were on their guts shooting, like soldiers. It was very strange,” Mr Landry said. “They used, I think, 400 shots in an hour, one guy at a time. They were big guns as well.”Michael Landry
Sharrouf told police he did not have a firearms license or permit, and claimed he did not fire the gun.
Ammouche was standing two metres away and said: “I thought if I was licensed I could supervise him, but he wasn’t shooting anyway and I was only sighting in.”
Police later said two bullets were found in the gun’s magazine.
Sharrouf was charged and convicted of possessing an unauthorised firearm. Ammouche is still before the courts for allowing an unauthorised person to possess a firearm.
ppppppppppppppp
The seized weapons were all licensed to Sydney man Ibrahim Massri, who loaned them to Ammouche, a licensed shooter whose permit is now facing suspension.
Sharrouf is facing two further charges, laid by the NSW Counter Terrorism Command, for using his brother’s passport to leave Australia 10 days after the firearms charge was laid.
The Sunday Telegraph revealed last week how Sharrouf, 31, boarded a flight for Kuala Lumpur from Sydney on December 6, less than a month after the trip to Glen Davis. His wife, Tara Nettleton — an Anglo-Australian who converted to Islam — has also left the country, authorities confirmed.
It is understood Mostafa Sharrouf, whose passport was used, has vigorously denied providing or assisting his brother to leave the country and had no knowledge of the event until notified by police.
"The accused turned towards police and immediately placed the firearm on the ground upon seeing police. There was a large amount of spent ammunition on the ground."police report
The booking, made for two nights from November 8, is not the first time the name Jack was used to book the cabins. There were two previous bookings at the 160 acre property, with each of the men paying $50 each per night.
Mr Landry said it was the first time he had seen Sharrouf at the farm.
Ammouche’s presence remains of deep interest to investigators. He was last year filmed by Channel Seven spitting on and assaulting Muslim community leader Jamal Daoud over a disagreement about Syria. A magistrate later ruled he was a “good community member and community builder”.
Similar remote locations in far western NSW were used by the “Terror Nine” — of which Ammouche is not a member — during investigations by Operation Pendennis to test and train with weapons.

LAND owner is used to shooting parties spending the weekend at his remote property, Rockview. But there was something about the group who turned up in November last year that made him uneasy.
For a start there was the sheer amount of gunfire and style of shooting — 400 rounds fired in an hour by men lying on the ground in combat position.
The ground was covered “like a carpet” with spent ammunition, according to police.
Many of the bullets appeared to be aimed at a large tree, which authorities described as being “blistered” by bullets.
“They were on their guts shooting, like soldiers. It was very strange,” Mr Landry said. “They used, I think, 400 shots in an hour, one guy at a time. They were big guns as well.”

“They are just criminals and don’t warrant any sort of special status,’’ Detective Superintendent Debbie Wallace
Don’t try to Ms around with our top cop, Detective Superintendent Debbie Wallace
Mark Morrie Crime Editor
The Daily Telegraph
February 14,2014
THE new boss of the NSW Police Gang Squad has a message for Sydney’s most infamous gang members: You’re nothing special.
And Detective Superintendent Debbie Wallace says she won’t treat gang bosses with kid gloves either. “They are just criminals and don’t warrant any sort of special status,’’ she said yesterday.
Supt Wallace takes it her stride that she is the first female boss of the Gang Squad.
“It’s really not an issue. I’ve been in the NSW police force for over 30 years. On my second day a respected policewoman I know told me there were two things to remember. Never lose your integrity or your femininity.’’
It’s not as if dealing with criminal gangs is anything new for Supt Wallace.
In the 90s she was a detective at Cabramatta fighting Asian street gangs, including the infamous 5T, which have since vanished.
And for the past five and half years she has headed the Middle Eastern Crime squad (MEOCS) which has been credited with the dismantling the vicious Brothers for Life gang responsible for dozens of shootings in Sydney over the past 12 months.
“There is a lot of crossover. Many Middle Eastern criminals are either in outlaw motor cycle gangs, associated with them or do business with them so my time with the MEOCS will help with the new role.
“The major difference is bikies have a banner which they trade on to intimidate people. Other gangs often implode or just die out, like the 5T and the Brothers for Life which sprung up in 2008 and have now been reduced markedly.
“But bikies have a brand which is more enduring and even international. They wear their colours which to them gives them special status.’’
Supt Wallace said the squad will continue to disrupt bikie business with a special squad, called Raptor, set up in 2009 targeting OMCG whenever they can.
They routinely stop known members for vehicle checks, licence checks and just to let them know they are being watched.
“We also have a strategy in place to close down their club houses by any means we can. We will get other government agencies in to breach them for fire regulations, building codes – anything that is available to us we will use.
Wallace says making it hard for bikies to meet takes away a lot of their power. “They exist as a group. If we stop them meeting at gyms, cafes or anywhere else it makes it hard for them to do business.’’
Supt Wallace’s transfer to the squad is part of a major reshuffling of the state’s crime commanders announced two weeks ago.
Supt Wallace said she will initially spend time on the street.
“It is the best way to know what is going on and what the officers in the field are up against,’’ she said.
A-G TAKES BIKIE LAWS DISPUTE TO HIGH COURT Mark Morri
THE High Court will today hear an application by the NSW Attorney-General Greg Smith to bypass the Court of Appeal after bikies launched a legal challenge against new consorting laws.
Tough new anti-consorting laws aimed at cracking down on bikies similar to those introduced in Queensland were passed by the O’Farrell government last November after a number of public shootings.
The government and the police want the matter resolved after two Nomads and another man challenged the new laws after being charged with consorting. Lawyers representing Nomads boss Sleiman Tajjour and fellow bikie Justin Hawthorne, who are challenging the laws in the Court of Appeals, support the High Court application.
Lawyers for Charlie Foster, an intellectually handicapped 21-year-old from Inverell, have also challenged the laws.
The consorting laws impose a penalty of up to three years jail for convicted offenders who continue to consort with other criminals who have been convicted of an indictable offence after receiving an official police warning.
The Attorney-General used his right to seek removal to the High Court under s40 of the Judiciary Act 1903, after receiving legal advice.

Australia's Finest: 100th Victoria Cross awarded to late Digger Corporal Cameron Stewart Baird
100th Victoria Cross awarded to late Digger Corporal Cameron Stewart Baird

The Daily Telegraph
February 13, 2014
A DIGGER killed in Afghanistan has been posthumously awarded Australia’s 100th Victoria Cross, which left his father fighting back tears.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott informed Federal Parliament of Corporal Cameron Stewart Baird’s honour, as his family looked on.
“This is a bittersweet day,” Mr Abbott told the Lower House, explaining the honour was for “acts of valour, extreme devotion to duty and ultimate self-sacrifice”.
Corporal Baird died in Afghanistan on June 22 last year.
He was the 40th digger to die in the conflict.
FALLEN SOLDIER CORPORAL BAIRD HAD COURAGE THAT CANNOT BE TAUGHT
Mr Abbott said Baird was an iconic figure in the army, and had already received the medal of gallantry.
He is being awarded the cross for most conspicuous acts of valour, extreme devotion to duty and ultimate self sacrifice in Afghanistan as a commando team leader.
Mr Abbott said Corporal Baird joined the army at 18 and was eventually posted to what is now the 2nd Commando Regiment.
He served in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The late Corporal’s brother Brendan said it was a “tremendous honour” to accept the award on his behalf.
“Today is a proud day for the Baird family,” he told reporters.
“Cameron never liked the limelight, he was a very humble man who would not see this as an individual award.”
Brendan thanked the Army and the Defence Force on the family’s behalf.
His father Doug choked back tears as he recited the ‘soldier’s code’ given to his son.
“I had the honour to be a soldier in the Australian army,” he read, before being comforted by his wife Kaye.
“At all times I act in ways that will bring honour to Australia, credit upon the army, my unit and my fellow soldiers,” he went on.
“I think that sums Cameron up.”

Mr Abbott said Corporal Baird was the 40th Australian soldier killed in Afghanistan.
“And, please God, the last,” he said.
“He was on his fifth special forces tour when he was killed in the action for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross.”
Addressing Corporal Baird’s family members in the public gallery, he said: “You have lost a son, a brother, an uncle and our country has lost a citizen, a soldier, a hero.”
Mr Abbott recalled the day Corporal Baird died, telling how he and his team came under heavy fire on three separate occasions “from well prepared enemy positions”.
“Corporal Baird charged enemy positions and neutralised them with grenade and rifle fire,” he said.
“By drawing fire on himself repeatedly he enabled other members of his team to regain the initiative.”
Mr Abbott then explained how the Commando then led an assault on an enemy-led compound, forcing the door of the building before being killed.
“Words can hardly do justice to the chaos, confusion and courage which were evident that day,” he said.
“He repeatedly drew enemy fire away from his team members and charged enemy positions under heavy fire,” Mr Abbott said.
“His actions enabled the enemy to be neutralised and his team to be kept safe.
“This award is in recognition of his most conspicuous acts of valour, extreme devotion to duty and ultimate self-sacrifice.
“The Victoria Cross is inscribed with the words “For Valour”.
“Corporal Baird’s actions were in keeping with the finest traditions of the Australian Army and the Australian Defence Force.
“He is an Australian hero.”
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said it was difficult to convey words that would properly describe Corporal Baird’s acts of heroism.
“I hope his family here feel that our Parliament, all of us here, do some justice to his memory today,” Mr Shorten said.
He said the VC is part of a proud military and Australian tradition, which recognises the courage to sacrifice your own safety for your friends.
“A quality Corporal Baird exemplified to the highest degree,” Mr Shorten added.
Corporal Baird was a member of the Special Operations Task Group and was from the 2nd Commando Regiment based at Holsworthy Barracks in Sydney, New South Wales.
He is survived by his parents, brother and his partner.
Corporal Baird was born in Burnie, Tasmania in 1981. He joined the Army in January 2000 and upon completion of his initial training was posted to the then 4th Battalion (Commando), The Royal Australian Regiment, now the 2nd Commando Regiment, in February 2000.
Corporal Baird was an outstanding Special Forces soldier.
The Defence Department website states: “He exemplified what it meant to be a Commando, living by the attributes of uncompromising spirit and honour, which in turn earned him the unconditional respect of his fellow Commandos. His leadership in action was exemplary, constantly inspiring those around him to achieve greater things.
“Corporal Baird was an extremely dedicated and disciplined soldier, always striving for excellence in everything he did.
“Corporal Baird died how he lived — at the front, giving it his all, without any indecision. He will forever be remembered by his mates and the soldiers he served with in the 2nd Commando Regiment.”

Two wives, but only one law: Iraqi bigamist Younus Taher Jaaz Al Saadi broke all the rules
Ben McClellan and Alicia Wood
The Daily Telegraph
February 14,2014
AN Iraqi bigamist duped a Sydney woman into marriage to get an Australian visa — then flew to Iraq a month later to marry a second wife, a tribunal has found.
Samira Asswad, a western Sydney grandmother, married Younus Taher Jaaz Al Saadi, 38 in December 2008, after meeting him through neighbours.
After Mr Al Saadi applied for and received a spousal visa in July 2009, he left almost immediately for Iraq when he married a second wife, Nihal Al-Sharmati and had a child with her.
When Ms Al-Sharmati applied for an Australian visa as Mr Al Saadi’s wife, the Department of Immigration notified the Migration Review Tribunal who cancelled his visa.
Mr Al Saadi argued he should be allowed to stay because having two wives was part of his culture.
During their three-year marriage, Mr Al Saadi stayed at Ms Asswad’s townhouse for only a few months in total, telling her he had to constantly return to Iraq for five to six months at a time for “work”.
The tribunal found that Mr Al Saadi separated from Ms Asswad three weeks after he was granted a permanent visa, and divorced her in August 2012.
In the same month he was granted a permanent visa as Ms Asswad’s spouse, his other wife, Ms Al- Shamarti, was giving birth to his son.
“I bring him to Australia for me,” Ms Asswad said. “When he get the permanent visa straight away he went from this house.”
The tribunal ruled that Mr Al Saadi’s actions “show deliberate and significant disregard for Australia’s immigration laws”.
“The definition of the ‘spouse’ in the migration legislation is quite unambiguous and requires an exclusive relationship.”
NSW Minister for Women Pru Goward said the case was a reminder of the implications of not abiding by the law.
“Many people want to come to Australia to enjoy our great way of life, and what everybody needs to understand that firstly, we have a strong commitment to the rights of girls and women, and secondly that there is only one law people have to abide by and that’s Australian law,” Ms Goward said.

Samira Asswad, a western Sydney grandmother, married Younus Taher Jaaz Al Saadi, 38 in December 2008, after meeting him through neighbours.
After Mr Al Saadi applied for and received a spousal visa in July 2009, he left almost immediately for Iraq when he married a second wife, Nihal Al-Sharmati and had a child with her.
When Ms Al-Sharmati applied for an Australian visa as Mr Al Saadi’s wife, the Department of Immigration notified the Migration Review Tribunal who cancelled his visa.
Mr Al Saadi argued he should be allowed to stay because having two wives was part of his culture.
During their three-year marriage, Mr Al Saadi stayed at Ms Asswad’s townhouse for only a few months in total, telling her he had to constantly return to Iraq for five to six months at a time for “work”.
The tribunal found that Mr Al Saadi separated from Ms Asswad three weeks after he was granted a permanent visa, and divorced her in August 2012.
In the same month he was granted a permanent visa as Ms Asswad’s spouse, his other wife, Ms Al- Shamarti, was giving birth to his son.

The Government-assigned Concrete Block Apartments
Canada Free Press
By Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh
Monday, January 6, 2014
An American diplomat who flew over communist Romania during Ceausescu’s reign of terror asked the innocent question, where are the farmers and their homes, I see nothing but fields of green everywhere?
The accompanying hosts looked at each other embarrassed and nobody answered the question. It was too un diplomatic and dangerous to explain to this westerner coming from the land of freedom and private property that the farmers’ land had been confiscated, collectivized, and the former owners moved by force to government assigned concrete block apartments ranging in size from 200-400 square feet.
These apartments were located in blocks with 2-4 entrances depending on whether they were five or nine stories high. The five-story buildings did not have elevators; the nine-story buildings had lifts that could safely carry two individuals at a time and were seldom operational. Renters of various ages and physical abilities had the joy of climbing stairs every day.
Social engineers had decided that land was better used in co-operative farms owned by the communist government. Private homes located on farm land were bulldozed and people were moved either in a compact village attached to the collective farm, with little room between single homes, or in the densely populated cities with grey concrete apartments mushrooming overnight.
The communist party elites had decided that having too much private space was bourgeois, the socialist men needed just enough space to eat and sleep, the rest of the time had to be spent at work.
This brings me to the current trend in the U.S. to reduce Americans’ living space to as little as possible by changing zoning laws without their consent, using visioning committees composed of local agreeable supervisors and outside non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with lots of available grant money from HUD and other government agencies.
U.N. Agenda 21 is behind zoning, regionalism, land and water use, Sustainable Development, global warming, wealth redistribution, social engineering, Smart Growth, Green Growth, cap and trade, Smart Grid, Smart Meters, global citizens, IB World schools, Common Core standards, biofuels, the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), gun control, just to name a few.
Nationally syndicated talk show hosts have finally started speaking against U.N. Agenda 21 elements. I have connected all the parts in my best-selling book, “U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy”.
U.N. environmental regionalist Seven50 plans for Florida
A political refuge appealed to the St. Lucie County Commissioners in Florida ()at a meeting about the U.N. environmental regionalist Seven50 plans for Florida. “I do not come here to lose my freedom; I beg you – get out of Seven50. Do not destroy our Freedom.”
A long line of citizens vociferously opposed such regionalism and pleaded with “local elected officials to reject the takeover of Florida’s private property.” “
“I am opposed to Seven50… to the loss of our property rights by U.N. Agenda 21, the new world order communist Marxist project.”
Large grants from HUD and this administration have divided our country into 11 nationwide regions, including the east coast of Florida. The Seven50 Regionalism Plan has already been adopted in the Gore triangle counties south of St. Lucie and Indian River counties. Vero Beach, IRC rejected the plan based on a “vertical authority flow chart” controlled by unelected federal bureaucrats influenced by globalist non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who plan to “stack-and-pack 200-foot dwelling spaces” and move citizens off their private property.
Stack-and-pack living quarters in the 200 square foot aPodments
Suzanne Eovaldi describes the typical stack-and-pack living quarters in the 200 square foot aPodments building in Sammamish, Washington. Resident Judy Green “shares the kitchen with seven other tenants on the second floor.” To get to her loft cubicle, she must climb six flights of stairs in the absence of elevators. Cars are not allowed on account of global warming. The micro-units are the size of a hotel room and rent for $600-900 per month. The micro-housing units increase the population density of the area tremendously.
The government will impose its best practices of “Sustainable Urbanism” which will force areas to adopt “sustainable development” and “equitable communities,” changing the counties’ desired low density character and scale to high-density crime-ridden slums.
The American Coalition 4 Property Rights explains on its website why the Seven50 Regional Plan must be stopped with its Sustainable Urbanism and the Smart Code solution to urban sprawl. Regionalism will fundamentally alter the make-up of our society and of our property rights or lack thereof.
“Social engineering is on the verge of being imposed on entire neighborhoods, adults, and children alike.” The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will dismantle local zoning and force people to move into certain areas in order to achieve what they consider “racial, economic, and ethnic diversity.” This is “nationalizing neighborhoods” on a grand scale. This is done for our “own good and to achieve utopia.” By obliterating zoning regulations, we will have neighborhoods by government quota. (Rush Limbaugh monologue, September 12, 2013)
Rush Limbaugh pointed out that “HUD’s power grab is based on the mistaken belief that zoning and discrimination are the same, zoning is disguised discrimination.” Introducing 200 square feet pods between single family homes is “social justice.”
The American Planning Association issued a HUD Smart Growth document, a blueprint of goals to replace single family housing. The 76-page study by APA’s Planning Advisory Service, report number 548, published on July 2007, had the “objective to examine, on a pilot basis, whether zoning impedes the development of higher-density, multifamily housing in growing metropolitan areas.”
The study presumed multifamily housing to be the most affordable type of housing yet it did not evaluate this presumption in the study. “High-density residential development is not always affordable, and low density development is not always costly. Ample high-density and multi-family zoning is neither necessary nor sufficient to produce affordable housing.”(p. iv) Why then destroy suburbia and why dictate to other people how they should live?
The authors identified other factors besides zoning that can limit multifamily housing stock such as market conditions, land availability, parcelization, provision of public services, planning goals such as protecting open spaces or rural areas, and existing land-use patterns.
The APA study recommends:
Support the Regional collection and integration of land use regulatory data (maintain comprehensive data on zoning and other regulatory restraints)
Encourage state and Regional governments to provide oversight of local land-use policies.
Focus state and Regional oversight policies on quantitative performance measures.
Continue to develop better measures of zoning barriers and support additional research on the effects of barriers on housing markets.
For these authors, “the critical question now is not whether regulatory barriers to affordable housing exist in some communities, but whether it is possible to identify such communities and craft an appropriate policy response.”
In my December 23, 2013 interview with Brian Lilley of Sun News Network in Canada, I explained the “affordable housing” fight in Fairfax County, Virginia, where almost all members of the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission are crafting a plan to place Lilliputian slum dwellings in every area of the county. These are called Residential Studio Units (RSUs) with a total surface of 220-320 square feet. Each high-rise would contain 75 such units and one parking space per unit. Such units would reduce property values, change neighborhoods, increase population density, cause more traffic congestion, and increase crime in the name of “affordable housing” for the poor, low wage workers, and “diversity.”

Father of 12-year-old child bride on charges: he believes he has ‘done nothing wrong’

The 61-year-old, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, “is of the belief he has done nothing wrong,” Raymond Terrace Local Court was told.
The court also heard the man had a disregard for NSW laws and believed his daughter was “in love” with her 26-year-old “husband”.

MOSQUE SACKS IMAM WHO ‘MARRIED’ COUPLE
O’FARRELL WELCOMES ARREST OVER ‘MARRIAGE’
CHILD BRIDE, 12, WAS MARRIED IN HER FATHER’S HOUSE
Magistrate Caleb Franklin rejected the man’s bail application yesterday, citing a strong prosecution case and the likelihood of a jail term if he was convicted.
Police charged the father with procuring a child for unlawful sexual activity and being an accessory before the fact to someone having sexual intercourse with a child.
“The defendant has a disregard for the laws of this state,” Mr Franklin said in denying the man bail.
The man’s Legal Aid solicitor said her client, an osteoarthritis sufferer, would find time in custody “very difficult”.
The court heard the man had co-operated with detectives in interviews but disputed much of the police facts including the allegations he facilitated the marriage.
His solicitor said her client claimed his daughter was a “very, very mature strong-willed woman” and he thought the man was about 18-19.
“He said ‘they’re in love and it’s a strong love’ and at this point he’s trying to be supportive of his children,” she said.
Charge sheets tendered in court allege the girl’s father procured her for sexual activity with her future “husband” from when the couple met at a Hunter Valley mosque in November last year until they were allegedly married on January 12.
Outside court, it emerged the girl wrote on a blog site her father told her to wear a hijab to school when she was 11.
“When I was 11 my Dad made the decision I should wear hijab to school,” she wrote.
“To be honest I didn’t want to wear hijab to school. I was afraid of what all the other kids would say or think about me. But when I went to school the next day it wasn’t that bad.”
Charges against the girl’s father followed the alleged wedding of the man’s then 12-year-old daughter in their family living room to a 26-year-old Lebanese man last month.
The girl’s “husband” is in custody charged with 25 counts of having sexual intercourse with a child.
The imam who allegedly performed the ceremony, Riaz Tasawar, 35, was charged with solemnising a marriage without authority and will face court in April.

Afghani asylum seeker Mohammed Salem Nazari pleads guilty to two charges of indecent assault of seven teenage girls
Amy Dale Chief Court Reporter
The Daily Telegraph
February 13,2014
AN asylum seeker who “traumatised” seven teenage girls by indecently groping them in the Sydney Olympic Park pool had only been in Australia for six months, a court has heard.
Mohammed Salem Nazari pleaded guilty at Burwood Local Court yesterday to two charges of indecent assault on two 18-year-old girls and five offences of indecently assaulting a person under the age of 16 at the pool.
The 33-year-old, who doesn’t speak English, assaulted the girls — the youngest aged 14 — in the Rapid River Ride whirlpool within 25 minutes on December 8.
The asylum seeker had recently arrived in Australia from Afghanistan and was on a bridging visa.
His lawyer told Burwood Local Court last year that Nazari was “a poor or non-swimmer” and only came into contact with the girls due to the current in the pool.
After initially pleading not guilty to the charges during an unsuccessful bail application late last year, Nazari reversed that yesterday and admitted all of the accusations.
Nazari required a Dari interpreter during all of his court appearances.
Police documents tendered to the court alleged he grabbed all of the girls around their waist, touching their thighs, bottoms and breast.
The girls reported the groping to pool security and they watched his movements on CCTV footage until the police arrived.
Nazari, who had been living in a unit in Parramatta at the time, was arrested and taken to Auburn police station.
Court documents said Nazari had been “nonchalant” about the accusations and insisted all of the contact with the girls had been accidental.
The charges of indecent assault and indecently assaulting people under 16 carry maximum jail terms of five and 10 years respectively.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison’s office confirmed in December that Nazari’s visa had been cancelled and court papers said he was the “subject of an immigration hold”.
It came after a Coalition crackdown on asylum seekers and bridging visa holders in trouble with the law.
Under the previous government some asylum seekers remained in the community while facing charges with revocations considered on a case-by-case basis.
Nazari, who is from the Hazara ethnic group in Afghanistan, was the 31st asylum seeker facing criminal charges to have his bridging visa cancelled under the new rules.
He will be sentenced on March 3. It is expected he will be deported on the completion of his sentence.

Innocence stolen: pressure on to investigate the epidemic of child brides across NSW
Alicia Wood Political Reporter
The Daily Telegraph
February 12, 2014
HUNDREDS of under age teenagers are living in unregistered de facto marriages in NSW — and pressure is mounting for state and federal authorities to investigate illegal unions.
The statistics came as NSW Women’s Minister Pru Goward urged anyone with information on girls under the age of consent being married off to older men to report such incidents. In NSW, three children aged 14, 30 children aged 15, 152 aged 16 and 483 aged 17 identified themselves as living in a de facto marriage in the 2011 census.
MOSQUE DISMISSES IMAM WHO MARRIED OFF 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Adolescent psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg warned last night that de facto relationships involving teenage girls were detrimental to their psychological health.
“There’s an increased likelihood of these young people developing anxiety and mood disorders or depression,” he said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these kids become potentially suicidal.”
In metropolitan Sydney, the local government areas with the highest number of unregistered teenage de facto marriages are Blacktown and Penrith, with 23 each, Campbelltown with 17, and Liverpool with 12.
In Blacktown, there were seven 16-year-olds and 16 children aged 17 who identified themselves as living in a de facto marriage.
In regional areas, the problem is more stark. In Wyong, Wollongong and Dubbo, six 15-year-olds in each local government area said they were in de facto marriages, and all three 14-year-olds who said they were de facto marriages live in Young.
The figures come to light amid intense public outrage at the arrest of a 26-year-old man over child sex allegations after his alleged marriage to a 12-year-old girl.
Eman Sharobeem from the Immigrant Women’s Health Service said hundreds of children as young as 11 were being sent overseas to be married after being “shopped” on Facebook. “It’s far more prevalent and well-known than people think,” she said.
Dr Sharobeem said not enough was being done to build awareness about under age marriage. “Regulation needs to be put in place within different religions,” she said. “If we are talking about Australian law, every marriage should be under Australian law,”
“There needs to be proper, culturally appropriate, education and awareness-raising. And we should make it as compulsory as we can.”
Ms Goward has written to federal counterpart Michaelia Cash to push for national awareness campaigns on underage and forced marriage.

“Every young girl in NSW should have the opportunity to make her own choices about her future, and under age marriage is completely unacceptable,” Ms Goward said.
“It doesn’t matter if the arrangement is religious or cultural, if the law in this state says it is illegal, parents and the community need to accept that and abide by it.
“We can only investigate a case if it is reported, so I encourage anyone aware of girls under the age of consent being married off to older men to report it to authorities so it can be investigated.”
Opposition community services spokeswoman Linda Burney said the government should investigate how widespread under age marriage is.“We seemingly don’t have a picture of how widespread this type of behaviour is,” she said. Ms Burney said
The legal marrying age in Australia is 18 unless a court approves a union where one party is aged between 16 and 18.
GIRL, 14, FORCED INTO ABUSIVE MARRIAGE Exclusive Padraic Murphy
A 14-YEAR-OLD girl was forced into an Islamic marriage with a western Sydney drug gang member who raped and beat her and later physically abused their daughter.
Details of the now 25-year old victim’s ordeal surfaced in the Federal Circuit Court where the victim was fighting to have the man banned from seeing their daughter.
So appalling was the woman's life of abuse, which included claims that her father told her she could only leave her marriage “in a coffin”, that Judge Joseph Harman made an unprecedented public appeal in his judgment for authorities to act.
“Upon publication of these reasons and should any agency wish to investigate matters ... they are in a position to make application to the court for leave to inspect the file and obtain material,” he said.
That would include the child dispute conference memo in which an admission is made by the father in the following terms: “The father admitted that he knew at the time of the Islamic marriage to the mother that she was 14 years of age.”
The memo noted the man said he was 18 at the time, but the victim claimed he was 21.
“The mother alleged that the father had sexually assaulted her after they were married, which the father denied,” said Judge Harman.
It was also alleged the man, who has a string of violence convictions, stopped the victim from attending high school or watching television, and wanted her to become a “soldier of Islam”, forcing her to watch snuff DVDs of people being brutally slaughtered.
When she complained to her parents about the rapes and violence, her father threatened to disown her. “So what if he raped you? So what if he bashed you?” the father said, according to court documents.
“The only way you can come back to me is in a coffin to pray on you.”
The girl also told a teacher at her high school about both her under age marriage and the abuse, but no action was taken.
It is believed no authority has asked to inspect the file since Judge Harman’s appeal, leading to fears both the victim’s family and her “husband” could escape punishment.
