Australian Anti Terror Operation cancelled after Islamic Caliphate supporters riot in Melbourne

Australian PM Tony Abbott has to stand up to these insurgents, illegal aliens, illegal entrants and their Leftist Labor Green Loon facilitators and supporters.

PM Abbott must immediately order that the protection of Australia and it citizens from those who say they are sworn by Religious and                                    ideological obligations to destroy us no longer dictate Australia's                                        border security.

Mark Latham’s foul tirade shocks audience at Melbourne Writers’ Festival 2015

TOM MINEAR
SUNDAY HERALD SUN 
August 22 2015

ONE-TIME prime ministerial aspirant Mark Latham has launched a bizarre tirade of abuse against almost everyone.

Audience members booed, jeered and some even stormed out of the Melbourne Writers Festival Q&A with ABC host Jonathan Green, who could not control Mr Latham’s ranting.
                                              _________________________

"Mr Latham’s ranting."  That's leftist code talk for someone saying something that the Marxist's do not want to hear aka they are "Offended"
that Latham did not firstly tell them how marvellously clever,wise and morally superior THEY are than the average Australian before he told them to all get Fucked and Piss Off had Latham had of done that he would have lauded as a sapling spawned of the Lest's new                                      "Tree of Knowledge"

                                            -----------------------------------------

Mr Latham abused and then ignored Green, berating him for a comment he had shared on Twitter.

“You are a bigot ... You’re a deviant, you’re a hypocrite,” Latham said.

“There’s no way I’m answering your questions in such a forum ... I decide on which format and the manner in which it comes to this country.”

Audience members then grilled Mr Latham, asking about the abusive @RealMarkLatham Twitter account.

He refused to confirm whether he was behind it, suggesting he had a commercial arrangement to be interviewed about the issue.

Asked about his repeated slurs against high-profile women, including Australian of the Year Rosie Batty, Mr Latham was unrepentant and criticised the “left feminist clique”.

He nearly cried as he lashed out at Ms Batty for calling him a misogynist, saying he was a stay-at-home dad and supportive husband.

“If you’re going to suggest to me that’s fair comment, you’ve got a very warped view of fairness,” Latham claimed.

Mr Latham’s slurs against top transgender military official Cate McGregor — who he called “the then Malcolm McGregor” — prompted boos and cannot be published for legal reasons.

Green piped in to say that “I think you need to think about this, whether this is wise” but Mr Latham kept talking.

Actor Max Gillies was in the audience and told Mr Latham that he didn’t come to “listen to an afternoon of abuse”.

Mr Latham replied: “Piss off, leave, go, go. It’s a democracy ... Get your lard ass off the seat and go.”

Before he bizarrely offered parenting advice, Mr Latham delivered an unprompted string of swear words.

Mr Latham, who resigned from the Australian Financial Review earlier this week, said the week had been “wonderfully hilarious” and “the theatre of the absurd we call Australian politics”.

He proudly claimed he never made a mistake in his columns and lashed out at “privileged elites” who were “trying to set me up for a fall” and had campaigned for his sacking.

“I stand by my opinions as having a role to play in the public debate and in the future, so they shall,” Mr Latham said.

“I will be charged back into battle. Today is just a prelude, a warm-up.”

So what did he say ?
Listen for yourself WARNING contains AUSTRALIAN language and a few swear words, if you are a Trade Unionist,an "Actor" a Writer or a member of Australia's self described intelligentsia, GetUp, Labor Party Green Loon supporter / activist and or have never been gainfully employed "Jazz Hands" and " Trigger" warnings are
                                 
                  NOT included in following video watch / listen to at your own  risk.                                            

Despite his hour-long tirade, Mr Latham complained about the “terrible corrosion of free speech”.
He provided virtually no political commentary except to say that no voters in key seats gave “two hoots” about issues like gay marriage.

Melbourne Writers Festival organisers tweeted they were “disappointed” with Mr Latham and it was “not the respectful conversation we value”.

Green simply tweeted: “Well that escalated quickly”.

Mr Latham refused to speak to the Sunday Herald Sun after the session.

Peter Wayne Graham Scott, 63, Paedophile Cromer High: Calling all Fathers, Men,or those who aspire to one day, be a Man.

You are a Man,you and your wife have a Son at a Public High School,on Sydney's leafy Northern Beaches,Cromer High.
Your Son,along with four other children is Drugged and Raped by his Australian Council of Trade Unions NSW Teachers Federation member/ Comrade Peter Wayne Graham Scott.

This Married "man" was drugging and shoving his dick up the rectums and or into the mouths of eleven to fifteen year old Male students entrusted into his care.
How much money did the ACTU's, NSW Teachers Federation spend, defending, facilitating, encouraging this piece of "Progressive" Shit?

If any of these five Boys were your Son what penalty would you feel was suitable for their School Teacher, who drugged and then stuck his dick up your Sons Rectum or pushed it into his mouth ? 
Seven years and Six Months is all he will serve at most, under the NSW Legal system,after five or at most six years he will be given day release and will no doubt return to the Northern Beaches during his "Day Release" where upon he will do what Members of the NSW Teachers Federation do best, then return to Long Bay and share his "observations" at the Beach with his fellow Paedophiles.
With a bit of luck suffer "head injuries from bashing his forehead against a piece of exercise equipment", surely though he should have been given 20 plus years for each of his child victims to be served consecutively ie 100 years with say 80 years non parole 

I believe that he should be beaten to Death, but hey that's just me, call me crazy, but I have witnessed first hand the likes of this Paedophile, I know how they work, me and fellow class mates have witnessed first hand how these "Artistic Types" "Progressive" "Free Thinking" "Proud " types operate and how their fellow Teachers Federation members cover for them in exchange for not been called Judgemental or Homophobic.



Former Cromer High School teacher jailed for 14 years sex abuse

Steven Deare 
Manly Daily
May 2,2014 

A FORMER teacher at Cromer High School convicted of indecently assaulting and having sex with students in the 1980s has been sentenced to 14 years in jail.

Peter Wayne Graham Scott,, 63, who earlier this year was found guilty of 14 offences relating to five male students from 1984 to 1986, was sentenced at the Downing

Centre District Court today.

Justice Sarah Huggett ­issued a non-parole period of seven years and six months.

“The offender was a married, mature man in his 30s, and I’m satisfied he committed each offence for his own sexual gratification,” she said.

His actions had stolen aspects of each victim’s childhood and changed the course of their lives, according to Justice Huggett.

She said the sentence was based on the more lenient penalties ­issued in the ’80s.

“It should be no indication of the penalties for these ­offences if they were committed today,” she said.

Scott’s offences took place at locations including the school,his Bilgola home and Jamieson Park at ­Narrabeen. The visual arts teacher would often share cannabis with students before engaging in intercourse. The five victims were aged between 11 and 15.

Earlier, these former students gave victim impact statements to the court.

Some told how Scott’s offences had confused them about their sexuality and self-worth.

One victim said Scott’s actions led him to spend 23 years as a heroin addict.

“You stole my youth, my innocence,” he said.

“You used Cromer High School students and me as a smorgasbord for your pervasive sexual appetite.

“You will not be known as Peter Wayne Scott or Scotty, as we used to call you.

“You will be known as Peter Wayne Scott, ­paedophile.”

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.

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.”

Small measures a giant leap away from booze-fuelled violence

Scott Weber
The Daily Telegraph
December 16, 2013

THE number of alcohol-related violence incidents skyrockets over summer,putting the community and our emergency service workers at increased risk. It's an unfortunate fact that the chances of us waking up to news of another alcohol-related death or life-altering injury over the coming months are disturbingly high.

Just this weekend we've seen many serious assaults. One left a man in a coma.

The NSW government knows how great the risks are and recently announced a few measures aimed at curbing the number of assaults on our streets. Trouble is, they don't go far enough and tend to focus more on mopping up the mess than stopping it at the source.

While any measure that helps reduce alcohol-fuelled violence is a step in the right direction, we are past the point of little steps - we need a giant leap in the right direction if we're to seriously combat the issue. And the giant leap we need is the Newcastle measures - the suite of measures that has resulted in a 37 per cent decrease in late night assaults and a 26 per cent decrease in emergency department admissions in the area.

The Newcastle measures include reduced trading hours, lockouts and restrictions on the sale of high alcohol-content drinks. Modest, evidence-based measures that are proven to work.

So solid is the evidence that licenced venues in Tamworth recently voluntarily introduced similar measures to deal with the town's burgeoning alcohol problem.

Some in the alcohol industry claim that the Newcastle measures don't work. They're telling anyone who will listen that NSW doesn't have an alcohol problem at all - things are on the mend and we needn't worry ourselves about it.

Try telling the families of the victims of alcohol-fuelled violence that we don't have a problem, or telling the doctors, nurses, paramedics and police who spend the vast majority of their weekends dealing with victims of boozed-up thugs that everything is fine.

It's true, as the alcohol industry keeps telling us, that the overall number of assaults in NSW has fallen slightly over the past years. It's an exciting trend and police are working to ensure the downward spiral continues. But it's far from good enough.

NSW does have an alcohol problem and we desperately need decision-makers with enough gumption to do something about it.

Scott COME CLEAN Your first responsibility is to ensure the collection of union dues from members of the NSW Poilce Force for the purpose of financing the NSW Branch of the Australian Labor Party.

You and your "association" aka.one of the many fund raising arms of the ACTU, specifically imposed upon the staff of the various employment opportunities, for the funding of the ALP,were silent  for 16 years when the Political Party that your 'Association" finances with your members Union Fees, aka. "lisence to work and feed yourself and family",is donated to the Australian Labor Party, irrespective of who the victims of the NSW Police Associations right to garneshee their hard earned wages votes for.

Scott come clean!!!! Your first and last responsibility is to ensure that the ideology of YOUR "associations" Political Party,the Socialist Australian Labor Green Loon Co Party is what inculcates Law and Order in NSW via the NSW Police Force via the mantra of whats good for "Da Rank and File" Da Memba's.

Stopping Islamic Colonization of Australia: Australian PM Warns Indonesia "that his pledge to turn back the boats is a matter of "sovereignty''

Abbott describes 'disappointment' as Australia accepts boat people in stand-off with Indonesia

Samantha Maiden
National Political Editor
The Daily Telegraph
November 9, 2013 

TONY Abbott has warned Indonesia that his pledge to turn back the boats is a matter of "sovereignty'' after Australia agreed to back down and accept a boatload of 63 asylum seekers.

Sky News Australia, along with "Their SBS " and  "Their ABC" is a Loyal and valued  propaganda / publicity arm of the Progressive Left and  Islamic Sociopath's Inc. Taquiyha network of enlightened and progressive Journalists.

After a three-day ocean stand off, Australia agreed to accept the asylum seekers today despite the fact they were rescued just 43 nautical miles off Java.

Labor has compared the capitulation with Kevin Rudd's disastrous Oceanic Viking saga but the Coalition said Indonesia had agreed to accept a number of asylum-seeker boats back since the Coalition was elected.

Senior Liberal sources have confirmed that the Prime Minister believed it was still possible Indonesia would have eventually accepted the asylum-seekers but did not want the stand-off to drag on into the opening of Parliament and overshadow the carbon tax debate.

While Australia had requested that the boatload of 63 suspected asylum-seekers picked up close to Java be returned, 

Indonesian officials were still considering the request.

"We will have disappointments. But we will succeed,'' Mr Abbott told a Liberal Party Conference in Perth today.

"We will never again tolerate a situation where an important part of our immigration program has been subcontracted out to people smugglers.

"This is an issue of sovereignty for us. We have good relations with Indonesia. But we will stop these boats."

On Friday, an Indonesian official Djoko Suyanto warned Indonesia would not accept the asylum-seekers.

"The Indonesian government NEVER AGREED to such wishes or policies of Australia,'' he said.

"There is NO CHANGE of policy."

After warning on Friday he would not be providing "shipping news'' on the boat stand off, the Abbott Government broke with recent protocol and issued a statement on the resolution of the stand-off.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison confirmed that Border Protection had first responded to a request for assistance on Thursday.

Because the incident took place within close proximity to the Indonesian coast, "a request was made, consistent with our standing practice under Operation Sovereign Borders, to transfer the passengers rescued to Indonesia, in accordance with international search and rescue protocols."

"On two recent occasions, Indonesia has agreed to these requests and facilitated an on water transfer,'' Mr Morrison said.

"The Indonesian Government has advised Australian officials overnight that they are reviewing the request put forward by Australia.

"While we welcome Indonesia's review of our request, in the best interests of the safety of the passengers and crew of the rescued vessel and the Australian vessel that has been rendering assistance, earlier this morning I requested 

Lieutenant General Campbell to transfer the persons rescued from the SAR incident to Christmas Island for rapid onward transfer to Manus Island or Nauru. They will not be resettled in Australia."

But Labor's immigration spokesman Richard Marles said the back down was embarrassing.

"The diplomacy of the Abbott Government with Indonesia around asylum seekers has been absolutely inept.

"What we have seen is the embarrassing spectacle of the Abbott Government seeking to dictate terms to the 

Indonesia Government. This is school year diplomacy backed up by half-hearted resolve and it is a sad embarrassment."

"So today, I call upon the Prime Minister and Minster Morrison to end this farce, to end this culture of secrecy."

The Greens said Mr Abbott's border protection policy was "in tatters."

Indonesia says it will absolutely not take back Insurgents

Labor's Green Loon supporters and their Anti Immunisation DEATH WISH

Immunisation debate splits communities

Jane Hansen 
The Sunday Telegraph 
May 12, 2013 12:00AM

IT'S A tale of two country towns. Both are set in rolling green hills, both have populations of a few thousand and each has a unique position on the state's immunisation table.

Bargo, in the southern highlands, has the highest immunisation rate at 100 per cent, according to the National Health Performance Review.

Mullumbimby, on the far north coast, has a level of just 46 per cent, giving it the lowest rate in the state.

With every child in the 4000-strong community of Bargo immunised against potential killers such as measles, chickenpox and whooping cough, the worst affliction a child is likely to suffer is the common cold.

Bargo's GP, Dr Tim Rankin, said the town's immunisation compliance was so high because his staff tracked down those parents who had forgotten or postponed scheduled shots for their kids.

"The credit goes to my staff, we chase them down and keep harassing them until they come in," Dr Rankin said.

"We've had some adults with whooping cough, but no child and no measles since 1985," he said.

Carolyn McCorkell, who runs the Bargo Child Care Centre, said: "We don't get outbreaks of childhood disease - no whooping cough, not chickenpox - the kids get an occasional cold, but nothing major."

Katrina Lindley, who is raising her children Jayden, 4, and Tenille, 7, in Bargo, said she is proud the town is so vigilant in battling childhood diseases.

"It's a great thing we have such a high immunisation rate because it makes the younger kids safer, those who are too young to be immunised," Mrs Lindley, 39, said.

"It's just responsible parenting, you have to protect your children, and the effects of immunisation far outweigh the risk."

But in Mullumbimby, with a population of 3000, the unvaccinated children actually outnumber those who have been immunised and the issue divides the community.

The same whooping cough outbreak that Bargo escaped claimed the lives of four-week-old Dana McCaffery, who died in 2009, and nine-week-old Kailis Smith, who died in 2011. Both babies lived near Mullumbimby.

The town recorded an infection rate four times the state average at the beginning of the epidemic in 2008-09.

Local parents said there was a lot of fear and pressure around the issue of immunisation, and the town's homeopath said his professional association had forbidden him to speak on the issue because it was too "controversial".

Dani Ilic's daughter Remy was born in the middle of the 2009 whooping cough epidemic and the death of Dana McCaffery changed her mind on immunisation.

"We just didn't think it was worth going through that epidemic if it could be bypassed by immunisation," she said, adding she is in the minority among her friends.

Sheia Kironn is a mother of two and she not only refuses vaccinations for her children, but she has never used antibiotics on them either.

"I never use pharmaceuticals, we use Chinese herbal medicine," Ms Kironn said, adding she was not surprised her town had fewer vaccinated children than unvaccinated.

"I don't know anyone who vaccinates their kids and most people who don't vaccinate are well educated," she said.

Jacob Johnson, 27, said his parents chose not to immunise him, so he made the same decision for his two-year-old daughter Nimawai.

"I wasn't vaccinated and I've done my own research and come to the conclusion it's not necessary. A strong immune system is a priority," he said. "We do homeopathic vaccination and my friends who vaccinate, their kids are always sick."

He disagreed it was an irresponsible decision.

"I don't think it's irresponsible, I think everyone has the right to their own choice," Mr Johnson said.

Mother-of-three Sam Leader vaccinates her children and said the issue divided the town.

"There is a lot of scaremongering but I believe in science and the evidence," Ms Leader, a writer, said.

Jade Coy only partially vaccinated her children Aziah, 3, and Sascha, seven months, and refused to give them the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine out of fear.

"I went online and read blogs and my brother-in-law swears the vaccination gave his daughter autism," Ms Coy said.

The now-debunked link between autism and vaccination is much publicised by the local anti-vaccination group, the AVN, but the research done 15 years ago by Andrew Wakefield was deemed scientific fraud and withdrawn.

Not that long ago I saw the likes of Sheia Kironn and her fellow Earth Mothers  in a supermarket at Byron Bay.Under Arm,Leg and Pubic  hair a plenty, protruding from the various orifices .ie singlets and cut down shorts minus bras and underpants.
With their spawn following through the isles shoplifting at will,defying observers with stares and tilts of their malformed "alien heads" mouths resplendent with what passes for teeth,arms and legs I had never seen before,followed by a barrage of gibberish, dispersed with assorted profanities and waving arms and gesticulations to ward off / intimidate those, oh so conservative shoppers,that get in the way of the Labor Green Loon Progressives as they and their spawn rampage through society.
I would NEVER pay money, (or suggest that any one else do so) or visit Byron Bay again as long as I live, based on my last experience there it's an over rated Drug Stuffed Piss Heads Dump. Yes a few good photo ops, drive In drive out, don't pay through the arse to stay there stay any where BUT there.

The Brave New World of Byron Bay,Mullumbimby,Lismore was established and funded  by via Social Security payments,the "It's Time" Whitlam Socialist Labor Loon Government of the Seventies, funded by taxpayers as a means to enshrine Hippy Crystal Gazing Green Drug Worshipping Lunacy as a norm of Australian Society.

So many Australian children were drawn into the Australian Council of Trade Unions FUNDED Australian Labor Party's "Hippy Drug Stuffed Utopia" and suffered the obvious consequences of the ALP's and their Union financiers done deal.

Some years later I did not laugh or take pleasure when the then Australian PM and former leader of the Australian Council of Trade Unions Bob Hawk,was reduced to tears as he described to the Australian media his OWN Daughters dance with his own ideologies manifestations of "Hippydum" and her HEROIN ADDICTION.

Labor's PM Hawk did not ever apologise,or publicly CRY for, the hundreds,thousands of OTHER Australians children,his holy, pious "Progressive" Australian Labor Party,funded by the Australian Council of Trade Unions, policies that facilitated the life ending addictions or instantaneous DEATHS  from their ANYTHING goes, all beliefs actions behaviours are equal and without consequence ...........so long as you vote for PM Hawks Left... after all what's more important than that?

Remember It's "Their ABC" and why that is so.

Many years ago whilst attempting to enter a polling booth to cast my vote in an Australian federal election I was accosted by some bearded arse clown wearing an ABC tee shirt and the obligatory faux Akubra Hat and RM Williams boots,that's what these types are known to wear to prove their "Tru Blue Aussie" cred to scruffy "Tradesman types" like me,demanding I vote for one of their approved candidates as opposed to my approved candidate.
Needless to say I told him and his fellow dissidents get out of my way and POQ, as did many others in my vicinity who were also harassed by these arse clowns much to their surprise.
Some years later I was engaged in an on air radio discussion,where I coined the phrase " It's "Their ABC" in response to an in house promo by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on its Television and Radio networks that went something like "Blah Blah Blah oppose funding cuts for .........its your ABC " "...just 8 cents a day (week) is all it costs taxpayers" blah blah so keep supporting the ABC  and oppose any government that is talking about budget cuts.

Evan at eight cents a day / week it is priced way too high, back then, as it is now,the ABC is more like the public relations arm of the Australian Labor Party / Green Loons / left Independents / The Australian Council of Trade Unions / GetUp / Arse Clown Feminists / assorted Loon ratbags and Multicultural Industry free loaders,their apologists and more recently, the voice / advocate of illegal,predominantly Muslim male "immigrants" from the middle east.

The article below by Geoffrey Luck reveals how the ABC has been reduced to a plaything of the progressives paid for by the very people they hate the most... Australians.

This week The Australian newspaper gave a page to an extract from Nick Cater's forthcoming book The Lucky Culture  – and the Rise of an Australian Ruling Class. It dealt with the radicalisation of the ABC, one of the essential steps – along with the subversion of school curricula and the authority of the universities – in the progressive movement's rise to  power.

In the extract, Nick expertly traced the process by which the young turks of Current Affairs achieved their goal, defeating a disinterested and bewildered management. But Nick wasn’t here when this happened; his analysis depended on working backwards from what he sees today. As a result he misses some crucial points – he doesn’t see how management fell into a trap of its own making; he doesn’t understand how the News Division, which was intended as the bulwark against the intrusion of subversive news techniques, was hobbled by policy and therefore contributed to the fall.

It can all be laid at the feet of Talbot Duckmanton – the urbane, pipe-smoking eminence grise who ruled the ABC with an iron hand in a kid glove from 1965 until 1982. Duckmanton had begun his career as a sporting commentator, but as I realised many years later at a reception in London, he had always wanted to be a journalist. He was almost pathetic in his admiration of peers such as the BBC's Director General Charles Curran who had been a distinguished foreign correspondent.

In 1951, a year after I joined the ABC in Brisbane, Duckmanton was appointed Assistant Manager for Queensland. Despite my lowly status as a cadet, I came to his notice, leading to his assessment of me as "prickly" which he never thought necessary to review. Promotion to Manager Tasmania followed, and then a prestigious appointment to join the BBC commentary team for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. Soon after was appointed a member of the three-man team sent around the world to study television, followed by the role of Co-ordinator of television. His career was already seen as on a fast track to senior management.

What Duckmanton brought back from that television study was a profound fear of the impact of television film on broadcast standards, especially in News. In staff lectures and policy statements, the warning was given that pictures of exciting but irrelevant events could easily distort news values. Techniques then current in BBC interview programmes, such as the "talking head" that filled the screen were to be banned. "Jump cuts" - rapid transition from one frame to another scene were also out. BBC programmes which had journalists interviewing, commenting and backgrounding had alarmed him as corrupting the purity of delivered reports. It was for the ABC to provide the facts, the public to make up its mind.

So when television began in Australia in 1956, television news on the ABC was launched as radio news in vision. The reports were read in the order dictated by news values set by the Controller of News for both radio and TV; Illustration was restricted to three minutes of film in the 15-minute bulletin, and there were graphic cards to convey headline facts and figures. These sometimes got out of order – one night as director of the 7pm bulletin, I called for a card with the Prime Minister's name to be superimposed on his photograph, only to see a pair of ram's horns sprout from Mr Menzies head!

Despite bulletin restrictions, News launched two programmes of film. The first, Newsreel, scripted on overseas newsfilm flown in daily from BCINA (the British Commonwealth Newsfilm Agency, later Visnews) ran immediately after the nightly news bulletin. (I have documented elsewhere that when Four Corners began in 1960, Michael Charlton or Bob Raymond would try to steal Newsreel film from the rack in the editing room). On Sunday evenings, News presented Weekend Magazine, a 15-minute programme produced, reported and scripted by News journalists from around Australia, and later, from overseas offices. Stuart Littlemore, who featured in The Australian's photograph of the 1973 TDT team, cut his teeth in Australian television on W.E.M. This gives the lie to those – including the later current affairs teams and academics – who have promoted the false history that News journalists had no experience in broadcasting. As long ago as 1953 in Longreach, I compiled and read a daily 7-minute bulletin of regional news. I also recorded reports for News Review, the Talks Department programme on a Minifon wire recorder and later the first portable machine, the Emitape.

When Duckmanton was appointed General Manager in 1965 to succeed Sir Charles Moses, he was already acutely aware of the growing pressures to introduce a new way of backgrounding and interpreting the news. The BBC which was very much the ABC's model for broadcasting had showed the way. He was also determined to get his hands on the levers of power in news matters. The changing of the guard gave him his chance. When the Controller of News, W.S. ("Wally") Hamilton was elevated to the position of Assistant General Manager (Administration), Duckmanton did not permit him to take responsibility for News with him (as we all hoped), but appointed himself Editor in Chief. Every Friday morning, the new Controller of News, Gil Oakley, and the Directors of Radio and TV News, Russ Handley and Jack Gulley, were summoned to Broadcast House for a review of the week's output, and a briefing on policy. "The Friday Follies", they called it, and came back to their offices to pass on the latest petty dictates of a man with determined ideas, but no understanding.

It was there that Duckmanton ring-fenced the News Division, prohibiting it from expanding into the dangerous waters of what was then termed Public Affairs. News was to be the bulwark against the forces that could destroy the ABC's credibility – programmes that introduced interpretation, comment, opinion and analysis. News bulletins were to be read, reporters’ voices were not to be heard. This misinterpretation of the social forces at work, and a complete inability to comprehend how to apply journalistic training, principles and ethics in the new age, resulted in the debacle that Cater describes. Duckmanton could not separate interpretation and background from opinion; when the crisis came he had no principle or theory of news on which to rely. These are facts that you won’t find in the official ABC histories, biased as they are in favour of the Current Affairs people who swayed the historians.

In radio, The Talks Department ran parallel to News, and their paths rarely crossed. News Commentary and Notes on the News had always been written and delivered by contract outsiders, academics and specialists. Their views had been kept quite separate from the evening News Review, a 15-minute collection of reports, mostly from around Australia, by Talks officers who had been trained as broadcasters, not journalists. These, like the news bulletins were factual and un-opinionated. They contained interviews, but the programme was pre-recorded and often stale.

The dam broke in 1967 with the launch of TDT. This came about from a management power play in head office, not from a journalistic revolt as commonly believed. Ken Watts, a former schoolteacher who had come up through education broadcasting won the powerful position of head of television programmes in the managerial shuffle that followed Duckmanton’s appointment. The Commission had become alarmed at the ABC’s poor market share and was demanding brighter, more attractive programmes.

Described by the ABC’s historian Ken Inglis as having a reputation “for being ruthless, for encouraging, drinking with and promoting clever young people, and for caring about the quality and popularity of programmes,” by 1964 Watts had already assumed control of Four Corners (which had got into serious political trouble for its bias and irresponsibility). Then in1966 he proposed a daily programme of current affairs, modelled on the BBC’s Tonight show. It went to air in 1967 as TDT -This Day Tonight.  TDT. It had a huge budget, resources denied to other divisions, especially News, and with Ken Watts, who knew nothing of news, its disciplines, responsibilities or ethics as editor-in-chief. The brief was to break the mould of news reporting; its first Executive Director, New Zealander Allan Martin was given free rein. Some News journalists such as John Crew and Ken Chown, appalled that the News Division was being hog-tied to bulletins, defected to TDT.

The resultant programme - chirpy, irreverent, critical, intrusive and rude, provided a confusing mix of serious items and interviews and undergraduate humour, but it quickly won a big audience. TDT took the mickey out of politicians and soon had both ministers and ABC management on the edge of their chairs each night. It was the beginning of the new era, when ABC staff first took it upon themselves to declare what was wrong with the country; “what needs changing” as Martin said at the time. The Vietnam War, which TDT opposed, directly in comment and indirectly through choice of interviewees, accelerated the process. By 1969 the Commission was heavily criticising Watts and his TDT baby for editorialising, and mistakes of taste and judgement.

News journalists could only look on aghast as TDT became embroiled in one crisis after another – most traceable to breaches of ethics or news principles in sensationalist pursuit of ratings. There is no doubt the News Division either could or would ever have mounted such a programme. Watts was funded to the extent of a fresh team of fifty people, hand-picked from newspapers and broadcasters in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Front man Bill Peach had been trained in the ABC but was poached from Channel 10 where he compered a current affairs programme that pre-dated TDT but like it, modelled on the BBC’s Tonight. TDT lasted until 1978, gradually smoothing its rough edges and increasing in respectability. Its contribution to broadcasting had been to crush the power of political interference in the ABC, and  making politicians answerable to the news cycle. But the other, more sinister enduring legacy had been the propensity to blur reporting and editorialising, interpreting and commenting, analysing and opinionising.

If Four Corners and TDT showed that the ABC had been careless about allowing two parallel news organisations to flourish, the launch of radio’s AM, five months after TDT, and PM two years later, proved that management did not know what it was doing. It provoked a demarcation issue that wasted resources, set off decades of hostility within the ABC over broadcast news that took the first strike by journalists to begin a rationalisation and integration.

The ABC needed a programme like AM, to bring actuality and voices to the reporting of news. It was under the command of Selwyn (“Dan”) Speight a seasoned newspaper man – a type that critics of the News Division like Tim Bowden later condescendingly described as not broadcasters. Speight however had studied the BBC’s Today programme and was sound enough a journalist to adapt to audio practices without compromising principles. He quickly saw the value of high-quality circuits available from new undersea cables to deliver voice reports and interviews about the major world events to Australian breakfast-time audiences. At the political level, a major turf war had begun – a war which the News Division’s incompetent management was unable to fight. They had missed the bus.

Wally Hamilton, no longer working from his power base as head of News, saw his journalists being side-lined. He fought against Duckmanton’s objections to establish the principle of reporters’ voice reports in radio bulletins. The grudging concession was a limited number of News circuits from overseas offices, mainly London and New York.

In 1968 I was appointed London Editor and sent off with a strong message from Hamilton to develop voice reporting for radio and increase contributions to television’s Weekend Magazine.

When I arrived, I found that the separate Current Affairs group had a nightly circuit to Sydney at 8pm and refused to allow News to send reports on it. At 8.30pm the BBC used the Sydney circuit to transmit World RoundUp, a quarter-hour collection of correspondents’ reports specially produced for the ABC. These two bookings effectively blocked News reporting. We had only two booked circuits a week – on Sunday and Tuesday nights. My protests that it was absurd to expect news to happen to our convenience on those two days met apologies, but no success in gaining access to the Current Affairs circuits when necessary.

I solved the problem by persuading the BBC to transmit World RoundUp an hour earlier, a solution that suited them since its programme was produced live, exclusively for Australia. The change meant that Current Affairs could no longer refuse to extend the circuit time for my reporters to send their voice reports. This became vital as major news stories developed – the Northern Ireland troubles, the first terrorist hi-jacking of aircraft, the 1970 British elections, the Common Market negotiations and much more.

The so-called studio in London had been built by a contractor specialising in public address systems and could not handle live broadcasts. Current Affairs staff had to first record their items, and then play the tape down the line to Sydney. The first time Wally Hamilton visited London, I persuaded him of the impracticability of a studio that couldn’t broadcast. He found me £3000 from his budget, I found a couple of moonlighting BBC engineers, and we re-built the studio to the latest standards. I was pretty sure most of the cabling and switchgear came from a BBC warehouse somewhere, but I didn’t ask.

The change in direction was not without problems. As we pumped more and more reports down the cable to Sydney, Duckmanton rebelled. Famously, he passed the message back up the line through News executives: “There’s too much talking in the bulletins!” In Sydney, the money spent leasing a new building and installing new studios with the latest switching equipment for Current Affairs had been denied to News, which had to struggle with antiquated recording gear in an inadequate booth. It could not record telephone calls. Sydney sub-editors didn’t adapt well either. Used to handling news on paper, they were incapable of editing tape on the run as inserts for the morning bulletins. So an instruction was issued that no voice report could be put to air until it had first been transcribed! Few of our London reports got to air before the 7.45am bulletin.

I returned from London in 1971 to report economic and financial news for both radio and television, and broadcast a weekly radio programme The Week in Business (TWIB). I was the only finance or economic reporter in the ABC, and Russell Warner, who had taken over the running of Public Affairs Radio in 1972, tried to attract me to work for AM and PM. So much for News journalists not being broadcasters!

News continued to train its cadets in microphone and recorder work and send its experienced reporters to overseas posts from which they broadcast – radio and television reports, special mid-year and year-end roundups and increasingly hard-hitting Weekend Magazine essays. The News/Current Affairs divide was simmering in the background.

Then came The Dismissal, November 11, 1975, and war broke out. Warner got approval from Ken Watts (who was by then Controller of Programmes) to seize the two landlines from Canberra to “cover” the event, preventing News journalists in Canberra filing copy or voicepieces. Duckmanton, self-proclaimed editor-in-chief stood idly by while this hijacking of a breaking news story by a programme unit designated as providing depth and analysis excluded the very people trained and responsible for such coverage. The three and a half hours broadcast has gone down in ABC mythology as a triumph of modern broadcasting. However, for listeners, it was a disastrous breach of the most basic rules of broadcasting, because it failed to tell them what had happened.

I was on study leave at the time and driving back into town from a field trip. On the car radio I heard an endless list of academics, constitutional experts and psephologists pontificating about the significance of something which they never stopped to explain or recap. It was hugely unintelligible. A brief news bulletin on the half hour reported that the Whitlam Government had been dismissed, but without explanation or details. The Canberra bureau could not update, political correspondent Ken Begg got one brief report out. There was no actuality sound. The event lit the fuse for a major confrontation over the responsibilities of the two sections, and in effect, the right to report news. A four-hour stop-work of journalists ensued, the first in the history of the ABC. Viewed impartially, the Dismissal broadcast was a demonstration of the power of fiefdoms, and a colossal failure of senior management.

Earlier that same year News had launched Newsvoice, a belated attempt to show how reporters around Australia and overseas could present a broadcast programme that was not a read bulletin. It was developed by Duncan Fairweather, and Terry Brown, who had reported from New York as an ABC correspondent. With no studio in the News building, they had to run up the hill with their tapes to the main Forbes Street studios – as I had to do every Friday night with TWIB.  But management quarantined Newsvoice at the dead hour of 5pm where it languished without proper support or facilities.

The crisis point was reached in 1976 when management, under Warner’s influence, decreed that Current Affairs would broadcast the National Wage Case decision. Journalists around Australia threatened to strike. It took ten days of negotiations and heated meetings to hammer out a compromise. News Division specialist reporters won the right to break the story live on air and explain the judgement; Current Affairs then interviewed politicians, unionists and businessmen. At last a sensible definition of roles was emerging, and the power of Current Affairs was broken.

Later that year, I persuaded one of Australia’s leading behavioural scientists Dr John Hunt, to conduct a seminar for News journalists to consider their future in broadcast news. Overwhelmingly, they supported the integration of News and Current Affairs; demanded the right of News journalists to report in voice and vision, and a clear delineation of the roles. They called for the Commission to recognise the initiative and endorse the principles. But the Commissioners never saw the document. Talbot Duckmanton, ever the bureaucratic manipulator, headed it off. It was to be many years before News and Current Affairs were rationalised, all ABC recruits were trained as broadcasters, and the organisation caught up, thirty or forty years late, with the rest of the world.

But the damage had been done. There is not space here to detail all the stages of insidious penetration of the ABC’s integrity: Alan Ashbolt’s Marxist influence on the young impressionables of his Special Projects Unit; the recruitment of graduates and others without the discipline of news training; the incompetence of News executives in failing to train and fight for the right, in a changing world, to provide news interpretation without opinion. Yet the principal blame falls on senior management – Talbot Duckmanton the wily mandarin intent on manipulating the Commission and keeping his nose clean; Clem Semmler the effete intellectual who wanted the ABC to remain stuck in radio aspic, Daryl Miley, the old stager of programme shuffling, Keith Mackriell and Graham White the ultimate fence-sitters, and Ken Watts, the aggressive ambitious game-changer who created programmes that trampled balance, fairness and impartiality to death in the name of news entertainment.
