Warning to all Muslims the world over seeking asylum and protection from the manifestations of their faith.
Do not under any circumstances come to Australia, for we are a Nation founded upon Judeo Christian Law and principles and as such Australia is an anathema to any follower of the Paedophile Slave Trader Mohammad's cult of Islam.
There is no ideology more hated and despised in Australia than Islam.You simply would not like it here.

Lord, I come before You with a heavy heart. I feel so much and yet sometimes I feel nothing at all. I don't know where to turn, who to talk to, or how to deal with the things going on in my life. You see everything, Lord. You know everything, Lord. Yet when I seek you it is so hard to feel You here with me. Lord, help me through this. I don't see any other way to get out of this. There is no light at the end of my tunnel, yet everyone says You can show it to me. Lord, help me find that light. Let it be Your light. Give me someone to help. Let me feel You with me. Lord, let me see what You provide and see an alternative to taking my life. Let me feel Your blessings and comfort. Amen.

"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"
Beijings former highest ranking official in Australia,former Australian Prime Minister Lu Kewen aka. Kevin (07) Rudd, starts finessing the media again, after Madame Gillard's Comrades desert her sinking Labor/ Green Loon / "Independent" Minority "Co Party Government" ship. Kevin Rudd shows his soft side on Twitteras government insists it isn't in crisis mode
KEVIN Rudd is continuing his charm offensive as senior Gillard Government ministers insist the government is not in crisis. The former PM, who earlier this week appeared on morning show Sunrise and with a chainsaw helping flood victims in Queensland with their clean-up, today tweeted about the joys of his new granddaughter. It was accompanied with a picture of a relaxed Mr Rudd reclining on the lounge with his daughter Jessica's new baby, a rattle, and a soft toy.

The federal government is hiding controversial plans to force ISPs to store internet activity of all Australian internet users - regardless of whether they have been suspected of wrongdoing - for law-enforcement agencies to access.
Political opponents and other critics of the scheme have described the draft policy as "alarming" and accused the government of going "on a fishing expedition for as much data on the public as they can get". One ISP executive has described the plan as "a nanny state gone totally insane".
The Attorney-General's Department has been holding consultations with industry about implementing a "data retention regime", similar to that adopted by the European Union after terrorist attacks several years ago.
Reports last week suggested data that ISPs would be required to store included contents of communications such as web browsing history.
Yesterday, a spokesman for Attorney-General Robert McClelland denied web browsing histories would be stored, saying the government was only seeking to identify "parties to a communication", such as senders and receivers of emails and VoIP calls.
However, it is difficult for the public to get a clear picture of the policy because the government has sworn all parties to secrecy.
Peter Coroneos, chief executive of the Internet Industry Association, criticised the government for not being transparent and open with the public about its intentions. Coroneos said he was forbidden by confidentiality agreements from discussing any details of draft proposals he has been provided.
"The decision at this stage to keep the process under wraps is the decision of the government. It's not the decision of the industry," he said in a phone interview.
"We still argue that there be an open and transparent process here."
Greens communications spokesman Scott Ludlam also criticised the lack of transparency, saying in a phone interview he had a researcher investigating the scheme to "try and work out how it fits in to the government's supposed grave concerns and fears about online privacy".
"To me there seems to be some profound contradictions going on there," Senator Ludlam said, adding that the policy "on first glance looks quite alarming".
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has recently fired barbs at Facebook and Google over privacy failures and their alleged disregard for the sanctity of users' personal information.
Colin Jacobs, spokesman for the online users' lobby group Electronic Frontiers Australia, said the government appeared to be trying to access whatever passes through any ISP in this country, while displaying "no regard whatsoever for our privacy or our civil liberties".
"What has emerged in recent days has been a clear picture of a government on a fishing expedition for as much data on the public as they can get," Jacobs said.
"It's not just a fishing expedition, it's casting a driftnet for the communications of all Australians regardless of whether they have ever been suspected of the slightest wrongdoing.
"Combined with the censorship policy, a pretty unhappy picture is emerging of this government's attitude towards our digital lives."
Some commentators have said the copyright lobby would inevitably try to use the scheme to hunt down and prosecute illegal file sharers, but Sabiene Heindl, head of the music industry's anti-piracy arm, Music Industry Piracy Investigations, said: "We have no present intention to do that."
McClelland's spokesman defended the lack of transparency, saying the government had consulted broadly with industry about the plan but "it would not be appropriate to disclose policy discussions which are the subject of consultations with the industry".
"These consultations have involved identifying the parties to a communication, where and when that communication is made and the communication's duration," the spokesman said.
"It does not include the content of a communication such as people's conversations or contents of an internet banking session, for example."
It is understood that earlier reports that web browsing history would be included were based on earlier drafts of the policy which stipulated content such as this would be logged and stored. The government appears to have since stepped down on this aspect of the scheme, although nothing is set in stone.
ZDNet.com.au, which originally reported that web browsing history would be logged, has stood by its original report, quoting sources yesterday as saying claims that URL history would not be retained were "not accurate".
"The government has not as yet made any decision in relation to a data retention regime. However, any arrangement will strike the appropriate balance between individual privacy, commercial imperatives and community expectations that unlawful behaviour is investigated and prosecuted," McClelland's spokesman said.
Coroneos, who is able to comment more generally on similar data retention regimes adopted by EU states, said the industry in Australia already had a track record of assisting law-enforcement agencies and questions the need for a "blanket" regime covering the communications of all internet users.
"[Users] have legitimate privacy expectations and assume that their online communications and browsing activities are private unless they've been clearly informed otherwise," he said.
"Secondly, there's a question of whether the harm being being addressed is outweighed by the economic or social burden of the measures proposed. Are we cracking a nut with a sledgehammer here?"
Coroneos also raised concerns about security of the information that will be stored by ISPs and the expected high costs of implementing any scheme, which would inevitably be passed on to end users.
So far there have been no reports of Australian’s been required to REGISTER their details with Book / Newspaper / magazine / DVD/ CD/ sellers There are no reports yet of talk back radio stations been required to keep records of callers and the subject of the calls broadcast by them.
If and when these REGISTRATIONS are added to the list of “necessary protection measures” implemented by the Labor Party,Progressives Leftists and Union Officials will assure Australian’s that like their Internet Filtering program to be introduced in a few months,these measures are all for our own good,as any Progressive Leftist, Union Leader,Labor Party member will tell you,Australia’s “Working Family’s” cannot be trusted to know what is good for them to see read or hear.
THE Federal Government will make internet censorship compulsory for all Australians and could ban controversial websites on euthanasia and anorexia. Australia's level of net censorship will put it in the same league as China, Cuba, Iran and North Korea.
The Government will not let users opt out of the proposed national internet filter. Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy Minister Stephen Conroy said the Government's $44.2 million internet censorship plan would now include two tiers — one level of mandatory filtering for all Australians and an optional level that will provide a "clean feed", censoring adult material. Despite planning to hold "live trials" before the end of the year, Senator Conroy said it was not known what content the mandatory filter would bar, with euthanasia or proanorexia sites on the chopping block. "We are talking about mandatory blocking, where possible, of illegal material," he said.

“The idea that the Internet is this scary place that parents don't understand, that everybody needs protection from, isn't a view that's held by most of society.
What it actually is, is a scary place that politicians don't understand, that politicians need protection from and that's why we're having this debate now.”
ONE of the critical issues at the next federal election will be the character of Kevin Rudd.
After a string of broken promises, the public is asking: is the Prime Minister believable? Is he to be trusted? Does he believe in anything other than himself?
Simon Benson's new book, Betrayal, sheds light on this issue. I and others involved in the attempt to privatise sections of the power industry in NSW to fund an ambitious transport plan have known the answer to these questions for quite a while.
We have been constrained in commenting on these issues because the principal victim of Rudd's failure to display the character one would expect from a national political leader of substance remained quiet.
Morris Iemma's public exposure of the promise Rudd made to him before the previous federal election and his failure to deliver is timely and important in assessing Rudd's character. The revelations will rightly influence the next federal election.
Alan Jones, Costa & Iemma
At a personal level these events are a kind of political morality tale. On one side is Iemma, an honourable man who was motivated by a misguided but strongly held belief in labour solidarity and doing the right thing by the ALP. On the other side is Rudd, a person who made a promise and consequently accrued benefits without reciprocating when he was required to do so. It is about the selflessness and selfishness. It is about character.
Despite claims yesterday by former left-wing deputy premier John Watkins, leading figures in the Iemma state government were well aware of Rudd's promise.
Unfortunately for Watkins and the dysfunctional ALP machine's predictable attempts to place responsibility for the failure on me and my negotiating style, Iemma's revelations finally provide a context. The "Costa won't negotiate", "Costa refused to do a deal" and "Costa is mad" myths no doubt will give comfort to the cabal of self-interested incompetents that brought down a popularly elected premier and replaced him with an inexperienced and ultimately disastrous leader in Nathan Rees.
Those seeking a fuller explanation of the failed strategy now have the missing facts. These facts are critical in understanding the government's approach. The historians can fight over their interpretation of these facts. But they cannot be ignored.
The fallout from this disastrous episode of labour history remains.
What are left are unsettled disputes about the relationship between the union base and the parliamentary ALP, and questions about the role of the traditionally anonymous ALP machine in policy formulation.
Ray Hadley talks to Simon Benson
In a broader sense, the failed electricity strategy in NSW provides an insight into the contest that has been occurring in Australian party politics between politicians who believe ideas and policy are the core of politics, and those politicians who believe winning elections at any cost is the measure of success.
The latter group illogically rules out the possibility that you can do the right thing in policy terms and still win elections.
The win-at-any-cost politicians appear to be more interested in the benefits and trappings of office than undertaking diligently the responsibilities of office.
The new machine men think politics is as simple as borrowing techniques and strategies from the product marketing textbook. Politicians are now brands that can be subjected to brand management techniques. In their mind the same techniques used to sell soap powder can be equally successful in selling brand Rudd. It's a kind of voodoo politics that has turned techniques such as focus groups and polling on their head. Instead of using information derived from these techniques to adapt the message around a well-thought-out policy, they use these techniques to develop a policy.
One of the consequences of this type of voodoo politics has been a dramatic change in the status of politicians.The rise in modern political techniques is strongly correlated with the decline in public confidence in politicians.
Political spin and media management eventually catch up with a government. In Rudd's case the speed of this catch-up has been truly dramatic.
Rudd is still advised by the same people who brought down the Iemma government.
The irony is that despite their obsession with brand management techniques, their application of these techniques has been as poor as the Rudd government's administration of its stimulus packages. They've taken brand Rudd from a market share of more than 70 per cent in the last quarter to less than 50 per cent in this quarter.
If they really were in marketing, they would have been sacked for this result. The Prime Minister has only himself to blame for the mess his government confronts. What should be dawning on Rudd is that by reneging on his commitment to Iemma, he also has crippled his own re-election agenda.
The Labor Party is now dysfunctional, particularly in electorally vulnerable NSW.
If Rudd had honoured his promise to Iemma, he would have had a cashed-up state government delivering much needed infrastructure. Rudd had the political authority, after he decisively won the federal election, to deliver on his promise.
He chose to put his political popularity before the policy position. He chose to take the advice of machine men.
These same machine men no doubt are closely watching the opinion polls and planning to politically execute him if his standing in the polls continues to decline.
If this occurs, as in all good morality tales, he will have brought this on himself for not having the character to honour his promise to Iemma.
Michael Costa is a former treasurer of NSW.
Lu Kewen aka. Beijing’s highest ranking official in Australia,Australian PM Kevin Rudd, simply cannot be trusted.
I CAN’T recall when I first knew I could never trust Kevin Rudd to tell the truth.
Was it when he claimed he and his widowed mum were thrown out of their home by a heartless landlord?
Was it when he said he had a memory blank about his night at Scores?
Perhaps it was when he said during the ABC’s cricket coverage he remembered as a 17-year-old standing at the Gabba to watch Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson tear into the English.
He remembered the crowd chanting “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Thommo don’t get you, then Lillee must”, but even more clearly he remembered 42-year-old Colin Cowdrey bravely walking on to the field and shaking the hand of Thomson.
But “Ashes to ashes” was never a chant, and Cowdrey didn’t play in Brisbane, joining the tour in Perth.
Maybe I’m wrong to seize on such small stuff, or mean to object that he said “sorry” to a “stolen generations” no one can find. Another lie.
But it’s clear the public is also belatedly catching on. In fact, Rudd’s credibility is now shot to pieces.
He was fatally damaged already, having falsely claimed global warming was “the great moral and economic challenge of our time”, only to drop his emissions trading scheme when it got too hard.
But last week finished him off, and even left him exposed to what in normal times is a crime in politics - misleading Parliament. Rudd was accused, credibly, by former NSW premier Morris Iemma and treasurer Michael Costa of having lied when he told Iemma before the last federal election to postpone his plans to sell the state’s electricity assets until Rudd won office, when they’d then join to “f---” the unions. After the election, Rudd welched on that deal.
But more terrible for his reputation have been the deceits to justify his effective embezzlement of $38 million of taxpayers’ money to pay for political advertising for his troubled “super profits” tax on miners.
In how many ways has Rudd again shown his word to be worthless?
He promised before the election to ban such advertising, which he called “a cancer” and gave an “absolute 100 per cent guarantee” the auditor-general would have to approve such spending.
But the auditor-general has been sacked from that job, and Rudd has dipped into your pockets for the very same kind of “cancer”.
To excuse himself, Rudd had Special Minister of State Joe Ludwig last week offer two reasons for an exemption for “extremely urgent action”. And both reasons were frauds.
First, claimed Ludwig, there was “co-ordinated misinformation about the changes (which) is currently being promulgated in paid advertising”, which means the ads by miners.
But Rudd has since been forced to admit he’d approved the cash for these ads as long ago as April 20, weeks before the mining industry ran any of its own.
Ludwig’s second excuse was even dodgier: that the ads were needed since this new tax “involves changes to the value of some capital assets, they impact on financial markets”.
Uh, oh. Ludwig had contradicted what Rudd told Parliament the day before, when he denied his tax plan had hurt the markets: “Share prices around the world have fallen because of the crisis in Greece.”
Costa now asks: “Is the Prime Minister believable? Is he credible? ... This bloke has lost the public.”
He lost me long ago. Now I cannot think of a bigger liar to hold his high office.
Labor senator Kate Lundy, Greens communications spokesman Scott Ludlam and a host of privacy advocates and child groups say they prefer an opt-in version of the filter.
Google was one of 174 submissions received by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, which had called for public feedback on transparency and accountability measures for the refused-classification list.
Google took the opportunity to comment on the broader proposal for mandatory filtering, saying parents would rather see more effort into cyber safety education than censorship.
"In considering the government's plans for mandatory ISP level filtering we have listened to many views, but most importantly those of our users," its 24-page submission says.
"We have talked directly with parents around Australia about their views on ISP level filtering. The strong view from parents was that the government's proposal goes too far and would take away their freedom of choice around what information they and their children can access.
"The importance of a better effort to educate parents and children about online safety was repeatedly highlighted as the area where most effort should be focused."
The filtering scheme, championed by Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, is mainly aimed at blocking child pornography web pages but Google argues that the RC category is too wide.
"RC is a broad category of content that includes not just child sexual abuse material but also socially and politically controversial material - for example, educational content on safer drug use - as well as the grey realms of material instructing in any crime, including politically controversial crimes such as euthanasia.
"Decisions in relation to instructional, educational, scientific or current affairs video material will often be much more complex than in relation to entertainment 'films'," Google said.
"Scenes of war or terrorist activity may 'offensively depict real violence' and rate RC when the video is not in any way 'gratuitous violence' or posted for entertainment."
The net behemoth says website operators should be offered a proper explanation before their web pages gets filtered.
Google believes the filter would slow user access speeds as it would have to be implemented by hundreds of ISPs and millions of internet users who access billions of web pages.
The live trial last year of a handful of ISPs didn't follow the department's own testing technical framework, Google said, and omitted key aspects such as testing a blacklist of up to 10,000 URLs and piloting new technologies like IPv6.
There wasn't a representative cross-section of ISPs that took part in the pilot and no costs of filtering were gathered.
"There is a risk that these factors (not covered in the trials) limit the usefulness of the trials," it said.
Popular video-sharing website YouTube, which Google owns, has had its fair share of bad press with footage of violence or bullying aired for all and sundry. But Google says all videos must comply with its guidelines and YouTube abides by local laws.
Any suggestion that owners of high-traffic websites would voluntarily agree to remove or block content deemed RC-rated was a folly.
When Google receives a legal request, such as a court order to remove material, it would investigate the legitimacy of the request but not automatically comply.
"Beyond these clearly defined parameters, we will not remove material from YouTube."
It believes that under the filtering regime, the likelihood of material on high volume sites being assessed as RC and appearing on the blacklist would be higher.
“It’s all about getting the balance right”
The company reiterated views made in December that the scope of content to be filtered is too wide, and that the government's plan was heavy-handed.
According to Google, moving to a mandatory ISP level filtering regime with a scope that goes well beyond child sexual abuse material would raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information.
Google searches in China blocked despite end of censorship
CHINESE access to websites covering sensitive topics such as Tibet have remained blocked despite an announcement from Google that it had stopped censoring its Chinese-language search engine.
The web giant announced yesterday that it had stopped filtering results on China-based Google.cn and was redirecting mainland Chinese users to an uncensored site in Hong Kong - effectively closing down the mainland site.
Searches conducted today of subjects like "Falun Gong" and "June 4" - referring to the Tiananmen pro-democracy protests in 1989 - from mainland computers ended with the message: "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page".
Even when a list of results came up for other sensitive key words such as "Tibet riot" and "Amnesty International" not all of the sites could be opened and the response "cannot display the website" again was seen.
Websites of organisations deemed by China's ruling Communist Party to be hostile to the nation - such as the Epoch Times, Peacehall and groups supporting the Tiananmen Democracy Movement - were all still blocked.
And popular websites such as Google's video-sharing service YouTube also continued to be inaccessible from Beijing despite the re-routing through Google.com.hk.
The same searches on Google.com.hk from computers in Hong Kong displayed full results - suggesting that China was itself using its "Great Firewall" of web censorship to keep users from having unfettered internet access.
Google's action came a little more than two months after the internet giant said it had been the victim of cyberattacks originating from China.
"Earlier today we stopped censoring our search services - Google Search, Google News, and Google Images - on Google.cn," Google chief legal officer David Drummond said in a post on the company's official blog.
"Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong."
China quickly denounced the move, saying Google had "violated its written promise" and was "totally wrong" to stop censoring its Chinese language search engine and to blame Beijing for alleged hacker attacks.
Growing number of Muslim men and multiple wives exploiting loophole for taxpayer handouts
“Islamic Friendship Association of Australia president Keysar Trad said he believed “not many more than 50″ Muslim families in Australia were polygamist. But he said he also knew of non-Muslim men who had more than one de facto wife who claimed Centrelink payments.
Mr Trad agreed only those who could afford a second wife, without reliance on Centrelink, should marry more than one woman.
“Marriage, whether they are single or plural, I believe in the old adage, they are made in heaven,” he said.“
and from ANV post titled (scroll to “Islam's man of a million comments”)
Mrs Trad reflects “……….It has not been easy and they remember 1998 as their worst year when Trad fell in love - "became obsessed", his wife says - with another woman. In desperation, Hanifeh proposed marriage on her husband's behalf to the other woman. "We were having a terrible time. He fell in love and I wasn't thinking about myself," she says. But his obsession passed. "He became more compassionate after it," Hanifeh says. "God meant for him to go through this experience and it made him a better person and more emotionally aware. It knocked him off his perch."
Australia abstains in UN vote on Israel over war crimes investigation
Mark Dodd and John Lyons The Australian March 01, 2010 12:00AM
AUSTRALIA has abstained from a key UN vote supporting a war crimes investigation of Israel's military assault on Gaza last year, three months after voting against the resolution.
Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said yesterday the decision was unrelated to "recent events", a reference to Canberra's anger at Israel's failure to explain the use of three Australian passports by suspects in the murder in Dubai of a senior Palestinian militant.
Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the involvement of its spy agency Mossad in the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, which Dubai police say involved 26 people travelling on false passports from four nations.
However, Israel said last night it would provide whatever assistance was needed by any Australian investigation into the misuse of its passports.
"There's nothing we have to fear here, we've nothing to hide," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor.
On Friday, the UN General Assembly considered a follow-up resolution to the Goldstone report on the Gaza conflict, which was passed with 98 countries voting in favour, seven against and 31 abstaining.
Australia is traditionally one of Israel's strongest supporters at the UN, and Canberra denied its decision to abstain was related to the passports affair.
"The Australian government always considers UN resolutions on a case-by-case basis and on their merits," Mr Smith said. "Australian abstained on this resolution because . . . it did not endorse the Goldstone report.
"Our vote on the resolution was neither determined nor influenced by recent events."
But the decision appears to mark a hardening of Australia's stand on the Middle East peace process and frustration at the lack of progress by both sides to resume negotiations.
It could be seen as a signal to Jerusalem not to take Australia's friendship for granted.
Mahmoud Al Mabhouh “Drugged and suffocated” what a humane way to dispose of this piece of Trash, why was he not locked in a cell and told that sometime in the future a series of bombs would blow a few limbs off one at a time, until he eventually bled to death a week or so later.
Opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Julie Bishop accused the government of downgrading its support for Israel, telling Fairfax: "I don't understand the government's change of heart."
Speaking on the Ten Network's Meet the Press program yesterday, terrorism expert Clive Williams said he had little doubt Mossad was responsible for the Dubai assassination. "I don't think there is much doubt Israel was responsible for the simple reason they haven't denied it," Professor Williams said.
Opposition defence spokesman Bob Baldwin said Israel owed Australia a "deep apology" if Mossad was responsible.
It was right for Australia to vote against the motion in the most disgraceful cabal of despots and thugs that is the United Nations.
Cowardly Cur Rudd shames Australia.
Beijing’s man on the ground in Australia, Australian PM Kevin 07 Rudd,aka Lu Kewen facing rapidly declining popularity polls Rudd,Lu Kewen has fallen back into line and has adopted the lefts traditional attack Israel mode.
Had Israel not been accused of eliminating a Muslim Terrorist Thug from the face of the earth,would Rudd have ordered Australia abstain from voting for the UN’s war crimes investigation of Israel's military assault on Gaza last year?
Perhaps abstaining from voting was a compromise for his UN masters, after all Rudd,aka Lu Kewen has his eye on the top job at the UN after the Australian voters throw him out of office later this year.
A BOAT carrying more than 70 suspected asylum seekers has been intercepted by the Australian navy off Christmas Island.The boat, sighted yesterday at 2.20pm about 80 nautical miles north-west from Christmas Island, was surveyed by HMASArmidale from 6pm before being intercepted.
Initial indications suggest 73 people were on board the vessel.
A spokesman for Minister for Home Affairs Brendan O'Connor confirmed the boat was not the one carrying a group of 74 Afghan asylum seekers who went missing after their vessel broke down in the Sape Strait last Wednesday.
"This one that arrived yesterday is a completely different one,'' the spokesman said.
The group will be transferred to Christmas Island where they will undergo security,identity and health checks to establish their identity and reasons for travel.
"Success" and even more "Success",more proof Kevin Rudd's Open Boarders Policies are working,with yet another boatload of illegal aliens entering Australian sovereign territory to be greeted by the Royal Australian Navy, and safely escorted to sanctuary at Christmas Island, where they will be "processed" ie. asked to answer yes or no to the following 1.are you a terrorists 2.do you have a criminal record,given full medical and dental treatments where required,free legal representation,unlimited free unmonitored access to the Internet and international telephone services to anywhere in the world,free access to child minding services,schooling,"skills courses",clothing shoes ans anything else their hearts desire. Following the "welcoming" at the aptly named Christmas Island, they are given Medicare cards giving them free and unlimited access to Medical and Dental services,Free Legal services so as to sue the Australian people should they feel their rights may have been violated during the "welcoming process",express access to FREE public housing along with unfettered access to Social Security benefits and services, free education, text books, uniforms, "white goods" vouchers and unlimited access to employment training scams / schemes, but hey why would they bother,no need to work here when Kevin 07 and his cabal of left wing apologists for Islam and International Socialism,simply take Australian aka.infidel "Working Families" taxes and redistribute them to illegal aliens they,correctly see as life long Labor Party voters after all they are not about to bite the hand that feeds,cloth's and houses them,
"It's about getting the balance right"
....remember that Kevin 07 election slogan "Working Families" ? that's what so many of you voted for in 2007, or at least that's what Kevin 07 tells us.yeah "........getting the balance right" yeah!!!!! feel that balance.
"You bone head, O'Connor, you are supposed to send them back to whence they came,NOT invite them in, this is the fifteenth bloody boatload this year you dope. Whilst your Dear Leader Kevin 07 continues full speed ahead in his war against prosperity, you and that arse clown immigration Minister,are ensuring that as many illegals as possible are able to walk in the door totally unhindered whenever they want."
194 MORE "Illegal immigrants" found entering Australian waters
Nearly eight years after New York's World Trade Centre twin towers fell and US president George W.Bush stood amid the smoking rubble and vowed revenge, the phrase "war on terror" has been officially dropped from the Australian government lexicon.
The dumping of the phrase, criticised as a non-sequitur because terrorism is a tactic, not an entity, is part of a campaign by the Rudd government to change the way we talk about terrorism.
Attorney-General Robert McClelland yesterday launched the national rollout of "project lexicon", a joint study on the language surrounding terrorism.
Mr McClelland said the study, to be conducted with Victoria Police, the Victorian government and the Australian Multicultural Foundation, was part of a broader strategy aimed at countering radicalisation of young Muslim men.
Mr McClelland said several of the words or phrases used to describe terrorism had the inadvertent effect of glorifying violent criminal behaviour. He said rather than framing terrorism as a struggle by describing it as a "war" or "jihad", acts of terror should be described as serious criminal acts usually directed at innocent civilians.
"The general theme (of the research) is anything that suggests a war of cultures or religions," Mr McClelland told The Australian. "So the expression 'war on terrorism' has been identified as one that suggests that if you engage in acts of violence you're a soldier participating in that war."
Mr McClelland said the research into various hot-button terms would be a precursor to a discussion with the Muslim community and the media about how to describe terrorism. The aim would not be to proscribe the use of certain forms of language, Mr McClelland said; rather to make the media aware of the research.
Mr McClelland said Australia lagged behind other parts of the world in its counter-radicalisation activities. With the terror threat increasingly likely to be home-grown - rather than imported by al-Qa'ida or its various surrogates - this was potentially dangerous.
"I think a lot of good work has been done in Australia in terms of developing law enforcement capability, intelligence capability and, indeed, the legal framework," Mr McClelland said.
"But I think the area of countering violent extremism has been neglected."
Mr McClelland said the pugnacious language employed by the Howard government and the Bush administration was counterproductive.
He contrasted the combative approach of Mr Bush and John Howard to Barack Obama's speech in Cairo last month in which he called for dialogue between the Muslim world and the West. "(That) had far more impact in terms of the election of moderates, or a greater number of people prepared to vote for moderates, in both Iran and southern Lebanon," he said.
Rudd and his left wing loon pals can call Islamic Terrorists,their acts of terrorism and the threat's to destroy Western Judeo / Christian civilization any touchy feely name they like, however, calling Muslim Terrorists and their acts of Terrorism what they are NOT will, like the Burka, only hide their identities, but I guess that is what this latest act of treachery is all about.
If Rudd and his cabal of left wing loons believe that "come the revolution" they will be getting a "get out of jail card" from their Muslim pals, in exchange for the assistance rendered to these Anti Christ's they are in for a rude shock,the useful idiots are the first against the wall or to lose their heads, after all, no one trusts a traitor.
US PRESIDENT Obama is in a jam and wants Australians to help him out. Like our own Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Obama ran an election campaign big on promises that he is having difficulty keeping.
One of those big promises was a pledge to close Guantanamo Bay in the first 100 days of his presidency. But first Obama has to find somewhere to place its remaining 250 or so inmates, most of whom are unlikely to face prosecution.
Among those who won’t face court action are 17 Uighur people. The US would like Australia to accept them.
The Uighur are Muslims from northern China. They want a separate Muslim homeland; there is little doubt they are persecuted by the Chinese, just as are the Tibetans. There is little doubt that they would not be safe from the Chinese, if they were returned to their homes.
But Obama wasn’t thinking about the Uighur when he vowed to close the Guantanamo. He was playing domestic politics, appealing to people like his married friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, a pair of America’s worst urban terrorists, in whose living room he is said to have decided on a political career.
Ayers and Dohrn were members of the Weathermen, a group of terrorists who blew up government buildings around the US in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, fortunately killing no-one but three of their own members.
Obama has learnt that the views of Ayers and Dohrn are not representative of many other Americans, most of whom realise that Gitmo houses some very bad people. No matter how small-L liberal Obama’s supporters are, they are not liberal enough to want Gitmo-quality people living in their neighbourhood.
Obama didn’t see this coming. Nor was he aware of a Pentagon report recently obtained by The New York Times which found that one in seven of the 534 prisoners transferred abroad from Guantanamo Bay returned to terrorism or militant activity.
Even Obama’s own Democrat Party colleagues are baulking at resettling Guantanamo Bay inmates in the US, which is why Obama has asked Australia to take at least some of the Uighur prisoners who have been held there for the past seven years.
This is the third request the US has made to Australia to accept Uighur detainees, the first two being made by the Bush administration.
This request differs, however, from those made by the Bushies, as former president Bush made no pledge to close Guantanamo and the approach to Australia was a resettlement issue, rather than the domestic US political problem it has now become.
Australia is essentially being asked to take the 10 Uighur to help Obama out of a political jam of his own making.
According to Mamtimin Ala, the general secretary of the Australian Uighur Association and member of the executive committee of the World Uighur Congress, the Uighur have been found not to be enemy combatants by the US courts and the US now has a moral responsibility to offer them homes in the US.
“It is primarily a US problem,” Ala told me. “But the American government fears creating outrage and unexpected repercussions if they permitted those Uighur to resettle in the US.”
Ala, a human rights activist who was granted an Australian protection visa last year and now has permanent residency here, previously lived in Brussels where he studied at a Belgian university for his masters in philosophy.
He argues that because Australia was a partner in the war on terror, it should accept a degree of responsibility for the Guantanamo inmates, if the US will not resettle them.
That argument is a little weak.
Australia needs migrants who want to be Australians, not migrants who see their future as hyphenated-Australians, owing a shared allegiance to another nation, and supporting foreign militants.
We already have difficulty dealing with groups who refuse to embrace the clearly recognisable Australian identity, preferring to fight ethnic and religious wars either by proxy though fund-raising exercises or through violence at sporting events and other opportunistic moments.
This is a difficult call as we have about 5000 Uighur living here now, and according to all accounts, quite peaceably, just as we have a small number of Tibetans.
There is no doubt that China would not like America or Australia to accept the Guantanamo Uighur.
China is a bully and China requires its diplomats to organise its expatriate communities to intervene in our domestic politics and make its views felt but that should not be a concern.
What is clear here is that Guantanamo, and the fall-out from Obama’s domestic policies, is not a matter for Australia.
When he led the triumphal chant, “Yes, we can,” Obama should have realised there were a few things that blind optimism could not achieve.
He didn’t think things through and we should not be there now to save his political goals. If he thinks he can convince Australians and Australian politicians that the Uighur pose no threat, he can convince his own electors of the same thing.
If Obama and his lefty mates had half the brains they pathetically think they have they would be keeping a close eye on the UK and Australia. Obama's 'economic policy' of spend, borrow and print the stuff — and keep on doing it — was also the policy of the British Labour Government. Thanks to that economic stupidity Britain is now on the brink of financial ruin and the economy is expected to contract this year by something like 4 per cent. The Australian economy is also continuing to contract despite Prime Minister Rudd's outrageous spending binge that has sent the country deep into the red for years to come.
The problem — as always — is one of lousy economics. While our economic punditry focus on consumer spending and fiscal policy they have completely overlooked the monetary situation. All the inflation indicators have been slowing since last September while M1 has been basically flat since May 2009.
Moreover, the decline in the Reserve's assets has accelerated. The latest monetary figures (they are always about two months behind) show that from February to March M1 actually contracted. In short, monetary policy is very tight.
When monetary policy tightens this should result in a slowdown in production, falling investment, rising in unemployment and a contraction in import volumes. (Westpac calculates that import volumes dropped by about 14 per cent over the Q4 and Q1). The latest figures from the Australian Bureau of
Statistics show that spending on equipment fell by 10.8 per cent in the March quarter. This is the biggest drop since this survey started in 1987. To get a better idea of how bad the situation is we need to look at manufacturing figures. The May Australian Industry Group report for April revealed that manufacturing had been contracting for eleven straight months. Australia is clearly in recession and has been for sometime.
Regardless of what the economic commentariat believes, manufacturing is a key indicator — not consumer spending. Focusing on the latter leads to confusion. Rudd's $8.4 billion cash handout represented about 3 per cent of GDP. Not surprisingly retail sails jumped by 1 per cent in the first quarter. We could get a repeat performance when most of Rudd's additional $12.7 billion injection is released in the second quarter.
As I have stressed many times before, consumer spending is only about one-third of total spending. Failure to recognise this fact comes from the fallacy that to include spending between firms in the national accounts would be double-accounting. (Businessmen are genuinely surprised when I tell them this).
Therefore it is not consumer spending but total business spending that should be monitored. Once this is realised it becomes obvious that the Australian economy went into recession last year and is still tanking. There is no way that running down the surplus and increasing government debt could have stopped this process. And there is certainly no way these policies can reverse the economy's direction. Given the Reserve's monetary stand fiscal policy in the form of greater government spending is powerless.
Treasury and Reserve officials are at a loss to explain the situation, something that Ric Battelino, the deputy governor of the Reserve Bank, made clear when he asserted that the principal reason for the difference between the sickly state of business and the current state of the housing market is the significant difference in borrowing costs, with the variable mortgage averaging 5.16 per cent while — according to Alan Kohler of the Business Specator — "the current borrowing rate for non-financial companies is 7.29 per cent".
However, since similar differences in borrowing rates exist in the US and Europe the Treasury can scarcely assert with a straight face that Australia occupies a unique position in this respect. The difference is easily explained. Firstly, as already noted, recession strikes at manufacturing first* and hence its effects will be first felt in business spending and not in consumption. In fact, consumption can continue to rise even as a recession deepens. This happened during the recession that Bush inherited. This means that any differences between borrowing rates for business and borrowing rates for housing are irrelevant.
Secondly, the government has used subsidies and low interest rates to maintain the level of Australian house prices regardless of business conditions. It's true that the US has done likewise but unlike America's utterly reckless Democrats neither the Labor Party nor the Liberal Party bullied lending institutions into giving mortgages to people who were patently unable to afford them.
Furthermore, several things need to be noted about housing. There is no housing market as such. What we have are a very large number of housing markets.
Houses in Endeavour Hills are not the same as houses in Toorak. Even within suburbs one can find a number of housing markets. Finally, it should be obvious that one cannot compare one country's 'market for housing' with that of another. Supply and demand conditions will always differ.
Mr Battelino is self-evidently clutching at straws.
*Housing too can be indicator because of its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. However, this sensitivity can evidently be blunted where mortgage rates are kept low.
Piers Akerman News.com.au Monday, May 25, 2009 at 10:44pm THE chk-chk BOOM phenomenon has made Clare Werbeloff a household name, courtesy of the internet.
Grabbing at the brass ring of instant celebrity a week ago, the 19-year-old Werbeloff volunteered a colourful commentary on a Kings Cross shooting when she saw a news cameraman on the scene.
With a gift for dialogue that should make her a candidate for NIDA, the Northern Beaches girl composed a thrilling tale of sex, betrayal and deceit, culminating in violence. As Werbeloff put it: “And then they pulled out a gun and went ‘Chk-chk BOOM.”
After enjoying recognition for nearly a full week, however, she recanted in the face of authority. Werbeloff told police she had not actually seen the shooting.
She is now famous for being a phoney. Werbeloff’s reputation? Chk-chk BOOM.
Media students will study this incident for years and argue whether Werbeloff exploited the media in her desire for fame, or whether the media exploited her in its desire to bring as many eyeballs as possible to a particular website.
The finer point of her telling a major untruth will be permitted to slip away because fame for fame’s sake fascinates.
That the chk-chk BOOM phenomenon has played out on the national political scene here and in America and is continuing to affect the political direction of both nations seems to have escaped most media commentators, possibly because they support the aims of these left-leaning leaders.
Yet Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and US President Barack Obama are as much creations of the connected world as Werbeloff - and their agendas are far more destructive than a teenager’s desire for fame.
Rudd and Obama used activists behind the political agencies GetUp and MoveOn to sign up supporters and publicise their propaganda before their elections. Having snowed their audiences, it is now chk-chk BOOM time.
Like Werbeloff a week ago, Rudd and Obama were busily saying anything and everything to get their heads on TV and their words into the blogosphere before their respective elections. That their claims were often as false as Werbeloff’s shooting account is only now becoming apparent to many. Chk-chk BOOM.
Remember the computers for schoolchildren? Chk-chk BOOM.
Rudd’s claim that “I am not a socialist. I have never been a socialist and I never will be a socialist?” Chk-chk BOOM.
His claims not to know he was to attend a fundraiser with disgraced former WA premier Brian Burke? Chk-chk BOOM.
His lies about knowing nothing about the staged Kokoda Anzac Day Dawn Service? Chk-chk BOOM.
His statement denying plans to roll back the NT intervention? Chk-chk BOOM.
Lies about his mid-air meltdown when he couldn’t get the meal he demanded? Chk-chk BOOM.
The 75,000 jobs his cash splash would create? Chk-chk BOOM.
Denials his soft policy on boat arrivals has driven a new wave of people smuggling? Chk-chk BOOM.
Australia’s emissions trading system will save the Great Barrier Reef? Chk-chk BOOM.
After the travesty of a Budget was delivered a fortnight ago even Rudd supporters like The Sydney Morning Herald’s Ross Gittins were joining more seasoned political reporters like The Australian’s veteran Paul Kelly in noting that the Rudd Government’s spin (a bowdlerised version of the barnyard expletive) was overdone. Chk-chk BOOM.
It would probably be possible to fill these pages with more examples of Rudd’s untruths, fairytales, spin, call it what you will, but as he has not delivered the transparency in Government he promised in Opposition, the above should be sufficient to demonstrate his embrace of Werbeloff’s chk-chk BOOM principle.
It’s worth remembering as he continues his hard-hat odyssey around the nation, reannouncing old schemes for the second or third time, as he tries to bluff his audience into believing that his Government is now spending more than the $1.2 billion it announced for new projects in the current Budget, as opposed to the more than $42 billion it tossed away in its ridiculous cash splash. Chk-chk BOOM.
If Werbeloff’s publicity campaign had not imploded so demonstratively, she would have provided an ideal candidate for one of Rudd’s “look at moi, look at moi” moments. This would have been a couple made in heaven.
While YouTubers have now driven more than 800,000 viewings of the Kings Cross fibber and variations of her narrative, they will unfortunately have to wait for the ultimate duet, Clare Werbeloff and Kevin Rudd rapping together.
