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

Immunisation debate splits communities

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.

How the left colonised the ABC

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.

“If there is a yardstick to measure cultural decay, the child pornography epidemic must register.”

Kiddie porn horror

If there is a yardstick to measure cultural decay, the child pornography epidemic must register.
The federal police have warned that child pornography use is at sickening levels in Australia with paedophiles increasingly recording themselves molesting children before swapping the images with other abusers.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the head of the Australian Federal Police serious organised crime unit, Assistant Commissioner Kevin Zuccato, said where federal police would once have been overwhelmed by finding hundreds of images on a suspect’s computer, they are now finding hundreds of thousands and even millions.
The head of the federal police’s cyber-crime unit, Assistant Commissioner Neil Gaughan, told the newspaper there might have been no increase in the number of adults sexually assaulting children but, “we are seeing those sexual assaults being recorded, and those sexual assaults being uploaded onto the internet”.
“There’s no empirical evidence of an increase in child abuse, but we’re seeing an increase in the number of violent images that clearly have not been commercially made,” he said.
There was a 30 per cent jump, from 136 to 180, in the number of Australians arrested for child pornography offences last year compared with 2010.
Gaughan was cautious in his assessment of the alarming increase saying: “I think there’s two schools of thought here, one that there’s been a proliferation of the image-making and the image dissemination. There’s also a school of thought that the reason why we’re getting so many more referrals is that law enforcement and industry are working better together and we’re discovering a lot more.”
So, the technology is making it easier for paedophiles to amass their files of degradation and horror and law enforcement officers are working together more closely and cracking more criminal networks.
Cold comfort for the kids whose lives are being destroyed by these monsters of cyber space.
Meanwhile, the Australian arts community and so-called progressives are still ambivalent about the sexualisation of the young and innocent.
Their images are art when made by celebrity photographers but porn when manufactured in the back alleys of Asian crime capitals.

Cate Blanchett calls on Kevin Rudd to soften Bill Henson art remarks

KEVIN Rudd's handpicked arts mentor Cate Blanchett yesterday co-signed an open letter urging the Prime Minister to rethink his public comments about artist Bill Henson's work.

Kevin 07 and Cate Blanchett  (“arguably the most beautiful woman in the world”) seen here at the 20 20 Summit taking a break from planning (plotting) Australia’s future (demise) with fellow Summiteers

Blanchett, co-chair of the Creative Australia group at last month's 2020 Summit, was joined by other summiteers including Nobel Prize-winning writer John Coetzee, Museum of Contemporary Art director Elizabeth Ann Macgregor and economist Saul Eslake in expressing dismay at last Friday's raid on Henson's exhibition at the Roslyn Oxley9 Sydney gallery.
"The potential prosecution of one of our most respected artists is no way to build a Creative Australia, and does untold damage to our cultural reputation," said the letter, which was also addressed to NSW Premier Morris Iemma and federal Arts Minister Peter Garrett.
"We should remember that an important index of social freedom, in earlier times or in repressive regimes elsewhere in the world, is how artists and art are treated by the state."
The move came as police ordered a Henson work in a staff office at the Newcastle Region Art Gallery be covered, the third NSW gallery to remove the respected artist's works from view after police intervention.
Albury City Council last week decided to take down three Henson pictures from the Albury Regional Art Gallery after a visit from police.
In Friday's raid on the Roslyn Oxley9 gallery in Paddington, police seized about 20 Henson works that depicted a nude teen.
They are investigating whether child pornography and obscenity charges should be laid but have not made it clear whether they will prosecute Henson or gallery owner Roslyn Oxley.
Members of the arts community yesterday continued to condemn the police action as censorship. One collector likened the confiscation of art works to book-burning in Nazi Germany.
Sue Curtis, an art and design consultant who has been collecting Henson's works for 20 years, told The Australian she was deeply upset for Henson.
Ms Curtis said she hoped no further Henson images would be removed from galleries. "I don't think it could possibly get to the stage where galleries or collectors who own Bill Henson's work would have to give them up," she said. "If it did, it would be like Nazi Germany's burning of the books."
Australian Commercial Galleries Association president Guy Abrahams last night defended galleries' right to show controversial art in the right context.
"Art galleries are special places like libraries and everyone would expect a library would contain all sorts of books, and we can view them as we please," Mr Abrahams said.
A Newcastle council spokeswoman said yesterday the Newcastle Region Art Gallery had owned four Henson photographs since the early 1990s. "We have never received any complaints about the work," she said.
Two of the photographs featured naked youths and were part of Strange Cargo, a travelling exhibition curated by the gallery that toured regional Australia over the past two years.
Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox of Newcastle command said police received information from the Newcastle Herald newspaper that the gallery housed images by Henson like those seized in Paddington on Friday. "We worked with both council and the gallery (yesterday) morning," Inspector Fox said. "Both images have been removed and secured away from public or private viewing."
He said the images were removed from the gallery's website.
On Monday, Victorian police visited the National Gallery of Victoria to follow up a complaint about one of Henson's works, but the matter was dropped and no pictures were removed.

Islamic Sociopaths Inc. Australia: Satan’s Sword given another “get out of jail card”

Pulling pin on bomb terror plotters' trial

Keith Moor
The Daily Telegraph
September 21, 2011

POLICE secretly created and exploded a "Mother of Satan" bomb to prove that Abdul Benbrika and his extremist followers had the materials to make the feared terrorist device.

They were able to show that terrorist followers of the radical Muslim cleric ordered or bought chemicals and specialist laboratory equipment to make a bomb capable of killing and injuring hundreds of

people.

The "Mother of Satan" bomb is the weapon of choice for terrorists around the world.

It was used in the 2005 London Tube and bus bombings which killed 52 people and injured more than 700, as well as many more terror attacks during the past decade.

But now officers from the joint taskforce that foiled the devastating plot - which had included a bomb attack at Sydney's nuclear reactor - must face the fact Benbrika and the other Melbourne cell members

will not face a jury.

The decision to permanently stay the charges in Victoria was made despite evidence in the trial of the NSW cell members that a terrorist attack of potentially mammoth proportions was imminent when

Benbrika and the Melbourne and Sydney cell members were arrested in co-ordinated swoops in 2005. NSW cell members Mohamed Elomar, 46, Abdul Rakib Hasan, 41, Khaled Cheikho, 38, Moustafa Cheikho,

33, and Mohammed Omar Jamal, 27, were subsequently convicted of conspiring to commit a terrorist act and jailed for 23 to 28 years.

In that trial, prosecutor Richard Maidment SC said the men sought large quantities of firearms, ammunition and chemicals that would have enabled them to build devices "capable of causing substantial

damage and loss of life".

"There are a number of utterances which suggest that the purpose of the organisation was to do something big, cause maximum damage, kill a thousand at the train station, football, whatever," he said.

The prosecution detailed the role of Benbrika and Aimen Joud in helping to order the lab equipment as evidence of a conspiracy to commit a terrorist act. It also provided an extensive chronology of the

many contacts between NSW and Melbourne terror cell members as more evidence of a joint conspiracy to commit a terrorist act.

Justice Terry Forrest's decision means Benbrika, Joud, Fadl Sayadi and Ahmed Raad will not face extra jail time on top of their sentences on the lesser terrorism charges they received in 2008.

Predator Hematullah Shafei free to stalk his prey

September 09, 2011

SENIOR police have called for tougher laws to protect children from perverts as a man avoided jail for a second time for trying to lure girls into his car.

Detectives called for a new law to deal specifically with offenders attempting to lure children into cars, saying existing laws were either not tough enough or were difficult to prosecute.

Hematullah Shafei, 19, received a seven-month suspended sentence after pleading guilty to intimidating a 15-year-old girl.

 

He was already on a good behaviour bond for committing the same offence just months earlier. Angry police said the only charges available to them in such cases were attempted kidnapping - which

requires proof of intent - or intimidation, which carried a lesser sentence.

A police source yesterday said a specific offence for attempting to lure a child into a vehicle, which carried tougher penalties than intimidation, would tighten the legislation.

A submission along those lines to NSW Police Legal Services division four years ago had not been acted on.

The Daily Telegraph in July revealed a frightening trend of "stranger danger" incidents, with a child approached every two days. Since then, another 11 child approaches have been reported to police.

Police yesterday revealed a 15-year-old boy was sexually assaulted after being grabbed by a man of African descent and forced into a toilet in a park in Sydney's west.

Senior officers yesterday revealed they were increasingly frustrated by the tough legal requirements needed to prove the more serious charge of attempted kidnapping.

Police Minister Michael Gallacher last night said he was "open to any suggestion by police if they identify a weakness" in existing laws.

Petition - it's time to save Our Children

"The welfare of children is paramount," he said.

A senior police officer said that offenders were usually charged with intimidation, however "what you are really dealing with here is attempted kidnapping - but it's impossible to prove because you can't

show intent".

Child-welfare group Bravehearts said sentences should protect children and reflect the seriousness of the crime. "We support tightening legislation or introducing a new law if current laws are inadequate," a

spokeswoman said.

Former assistant police commissioner Clive Small said people who tried to lure children into cars were usually serial offenders. He said the existing legislation was adequate but courts were failing to impose

suitable sentences.

Labor Loons Plibersek and Bradbury demand Australians pay their CO2 TAX or else!!!!!!

Climate change - Labor believes the end is nigh

Neil Keene

The Daily Telegraph
August 05, 2011

FIRST it was floods and famine, now it is disease that the ALP says will get us if we don't stop climate change.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Australia: Socialism taking hold strangling the Nation

Gillard and friends move from GetUp to shut up

James Allan
The Australian

July 28, 2011 12:00AM

LATELY the Gillard government has been clothing itself in GetUp! attire, but last week it flirted with adding some ShutUp accessories.

The problems started when the political agenda of this government started to sound remarkably like the agenda of the far left special interest group GetUp!

It's a world view that allows you to believe democracy is a sufficiently malleable principle that you can barefacedly lie to the voters and not pay a big price. (How many billboards have you seen GetUp!, that self-styled protector of democratic values, pay for condemning Julia Gillard for lying to the voters? That would be zero, right?)

 

I suspect I'm not revealing any state secret when I say the political policy positions of GetUp! -- reeking of po-faced pieties and "We are the World" platitudes -- are distinctly minority ones. If this becomes your core support group as a government then you are in big, big trouble. Which is when Gillard moved from GetUp! to ShutUp. Apparently the thinking is that we have too much free speech here in Australia. Maybe we ought to pick up on the great democrat Bob Brown's musings and go back a few centuries so we can regulate what the press says.

You really can't be against ensuring that only proper, acceptable views get disseminated, can you? I mean, it works in Cuba and Iran and Venezuela, doesn't it? Or if you decide to display your independence from Brown, to show voters who really is boss, you may just opt to bring in new privacy laws that allow new ways to sue other people.

But putting all the siren song supporters of privacy laws to one side (and we can all await with eager anticipation the next GetUp! billboard in support of this latest thought-bubble policy creation), here is what is at stake.

Any new privacy law regime will make inroads on what people can say. It will take some speech off the table.

There is an inevitable trade-off between free speech concerns and privacy concerns. If you shift the goalposts in favour of more privacy, then by definition you place more limits on free speech.

And I think that's a terrible idea. First off, our laws are already easily sufficient to handle phone hacking situations of the sort engulfing Britain at present. So that's a red herring, plain and simple.

Second, more aggressive privacy laws work not simply by allowing people actually to sue. They work also by creating an atmosphere where people censor themselves because they are afraid of being sued, precisely in the same way that our terrible hate speech laws at present over-reach.

Just look at France, which has strong privacy laws. You had an atmosphere there, no doubt also culturally influenced, where the past exploits of Dominique Strauss-Kahn came as a surprise to most people, save reporters. Do you think those exploits, and I explicitly assume that the New York City charges against him will collapse, but do you think his behaviour might influence whether some people voted for him?

Tony Abbott should have no part in this ShutUp agenda. In any contest between free speech and privacy I think long-term best consequences favour the former much more often. Certainly our present status quo needs no rebalancing in favour of more speech restrictions, and that's true even if it's sold under the banner of some human right to privacy, with a few perfunctory references to international treaties.

Amazingly, however, our present GetUp!/Gillard government seems to think a new ShutUp agenda may help it out with the voters. You have to wonder what planet it inhabits.

We can all only watch this train wreck of incompetence with incredulity. From GetUp to ShutUp, the whole thing has been one giant F . . kUp.

The Labor Governments coming Internet Censorship measures will give Australians the same access to the internet as does the citizens of Cuba, China, North Korea,Iran and Venezuela.

Muslim Insurgents in Sydney’s Occupied Territories, thumb their noses at Australia and our Laws……gee who da thought it possible?

Australian Muslim women choose to live by own code
The Daily Telegraph
July 23, 2011 12:00AM

WHEN Australian Muslim Frida Dakiz's marriage dissolved she was granted a divorce by her local imam.

The 33-year-old dress shop manager said it was only after she was officially separated by religious law that she considered secular options.
Ms Dakiz is among thousands of Australian Muslims living by a shadow civil code known as sharia law.And despite the arrests this week of three men who police allege carried out a sharia law punishment,
Ms Dakiz and 28-year-old friend Rebecca Kay yesterday said their traditions have a place in Australian society.
The sharia is the code of conduct in Islam and its applications cover marriage, divorce, inheritance and custody of children.

Sharia Law / Multiculturalism, The Australian Labor Party’s preferred face of Australia.

 

Rebecca Kay, left.

The power of an Islamic leader, known as an imam, to settle disputes is not officially sanctioned by the Australian legal system, yet it is happening every day in Sydney's western suburbs.
In May, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils suggested in a submission to the federal government that small changes could be introduced giving Muslims "legal pluralism". They asked the
government to fund halal and kosher meat outlets and for state schools to have special sports uniforms for female Muslim students. Attorney-General Robert McClelland said at the time "there is no place
for sharia law in Australian society", and this week NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione repeated the sentiment.
Sharia law's more controversial elements - including polygamous marriages, relationships where one person is legally underage, and its penal code - ensure ample opportunity for clashes with the traditional
legal system.
Yet Muslims like Ms Dakiz and Ms Kay say if the police allegations are true, the attack is not consistent with their view of sharia law.
"Everyone in our community is shaking their heads, it is unbelievable," Ms Kay said.
"For moderate Muslims we take one step forward when something good happens and then 100 steps back when these sorts of things happen."
Ms Kay said sharia law covered only private issues that go to the heart of their religious beliefs, and is only used when all parties agreed to its application.
Religious courts should not replace the existing system, she added.
"It's not that the Australian laws are not good, it's just that we choose to live like this," Ms Kay said.
Ms Dakiz said she knew of religious marriages involving underage women in Melbourne, but not in Sydney.
Another Muslim woman, Ruba Naboush, 32, said she was aware of polygamous marriages in Sydney and that the women seemed happy.
However, she said she would not personally enjoy the arrangement.
Ms Kay said: "I'll quote from my husband. He said: Why would I want two headaches?"
Haset Sali, author of The Quran Simply, an English translation of the Koran, said it was an "unhealthy development" that some of the more extreme elements of sharia law were creeping into society.
"There is a small number of fanatics who are introducing it and setting themselves up as the custodians of the community," he said."It's most unfortunate that some people are trying to introduce a
sub-culture into Australia under the guise of sharia law."
Keysar Trad, from the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, says there is support for some parts of sharia law like marriage and inheritance, but the penal aspects were not accepted. "Generally
religious people don't want to offend God, so they ask an imam how they can do these things in a religious way," he said.
The penal provisions of sharia can only be carried out in an Islamic state, with a caliph as head of state, and through a properly constituted court.
"It cannot be done through vigilantes," Mr Trad said.
He said that if the current allegations of a vigilante sharia law punishment were proven, it would be a crime against Islam - and a crime against the state.
"They cannot appoint themselves as a court, they have no mandate," he added.
This week, academics Ann Black and Kerrie Sadiq said Australia was right to act with caution when dealing with sharia law.
They said not all Muslims were registering their marriages and some were relying on religious ceremonies to validate unions that were in breach of the Marriage Act. This included polygamist marriages or
where one member was under the legal age.
