Indonesia demands immediate cessation of Australian Border Protection and orders Indonesian Navy ships into its Indian Ocean coastline.

This is the best I have ever heard from these clowns. Demanding that the Australian Government of Tony Abbott return to the Union, GetUp funded, Labor / Green Loon Co Party goverment's of Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 aka Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard's,six years of open borders and importation into Australia of predominantly single Muslim males 18 to 28 years of age, colonisation of Australia, via their Asylum seeker / refugee SCAM.

Why would these self described "Progressive" Labor Green Loons demand that Australia be colonised by followers a seventh century Mass murderer, Slave Trader, Misogynist Paedophile ? 
Why would "Progressives" demand and indeed facilitate the importation of such people into a Judeo Christian Western Democracy like Australia?

Indonesia threatens Australia, and demands Australia stop defending its borders from Islamic Insurgents. Yeah I know that's not what they said but that's what they mean.

Labor's Finest

Misogynist Labor and their Financiers are at it again

10 December 2009

Mr Hawke was joined last night by about 150 friends and former Labor colleagues, including fellow occupants of the top job Kevin Rudd, Paul Keating and Gough Whitlam, at a black-tie gala in his honour at Sydney Opera House's restaurant, Guillaume At Bennelong.

The after-dinner performer, who has become known for her shows dressed as Mr Howard, was reportedly arranged to reflect the character of the birthday boy, who was known for his twin fancies of alcohol and women.

Mr Hawke (r) and his wife Blanche d'Alpuget (l)

The burlesque artist previously performed a similar show in Sydney two years ago, the night before Mr Howard's election loss, in which a fellow stripper posing as former US president George Bush also featured.

A tuxedo-clad Mr Rudd arrived late and without wife Therese Rein, but was there just in time for dinner.

"Bob? Fantastic - an Australian legend from central casting," Mr Rudd told media outside the gathering.

"He's reached 80. I reckon he's got another 20 in him yet. Watch out Australia."

Other prominent Labor Party figures at the birthday celebration included former opposition leader Kim Beazley, Trade Minister Simon Crean, Minister for Defence Personnel Greg Combet, parliamentary secretary for infrastructure Maxine McKew and trade unionist Bill Kelty.

The pre-drinks part of the evening lasted nearly two hours but Mr Hawke and his wife Blanche d'Alpuget were among the first to arrive.

In his 1994 autobiography, The Hawke Memoirs, he downplayed the role of alcohol in his life even though he had a reputation for being a heavy drinker at times.

Advertising guru John Singleton and partner Yvett Hartman rocked up to the birthday gala in style, with Singleton reminiscing to the media about the bad old days with his fellow larrikin Mr Hawke.

When asked what he expected from the evening in the way of a good time, he predicted a "Blanche" night.

"I think it will be more unlike Bob than like Bob," Singleton told reporters.

"Like the real Bob I've been with in a public bar somewhere, we wouldn't have paparazzi. It's actually (going to be) one of those Blanche nights."

Singleton took the opportunity to recommend Mr Hawke as the people's choice to occupy his former job.

"He should still be prime minister," Singleton said.

Mr Hawke, one of the country's most popular leaders, has remained politically active since retiring from Parliament soon after losing the prime ministership to Mr Keating in December 1991.

In August this year, he was awarded life membership of the ALP at the party's national conference.

REVEALED: What Peter Slipper's sexist text messages actually said

By Malcolm Farr, National Political Editor
Daily Telegraph
October 09, 20123:52PM

"LUCY is very available and keen! Could turn you from your wayward ways," Peter Slipper texted to adviser James Ashby on September 3.

It was just one of hundreds of text messages the Speaker sent about sexual matters.

In a document before the Federal Court, Mr Ashby says that, with hindsight, "he understood the reference to 'wayward ways' to be reference to his homosexuality but at the time was unsure as to what it meant."

It wasn't just sex between men that occupied Mr Slipper's many texting moments.

Their chief political interest was former Liberal minister Mal Brough, who wanted to take the seat of Fisher from Mr Slipper.

"Brough is a c..t,'' Mr Slipper said in a text on October 10 last year. Soon after, he said: ''Funny how we say that a person is a c..t when many guys like c..ts.''

About five minutes later Mr Slipper began what the Opposition has called "'vile anatomical references''. Referring to women's private parts, he said: ''They look like mussell (sic) removed from its shell. Look at a bottle of mussel meat. Salty C..ts in brine.''

That day Mr Ashby attempted to get the SMS conversation back to politics, but Mr Slipper persisted.

"Been to thw (sic) fish shop yet to buy the bottle of shell less Mussells (sic)?''

On October 12 Mr Slipper referred to Liberal front bencher Sophie Mirabella, who had criticised him.

"Yes i agree she did push it too far. But did she do it because you're mates or she's just an ignorant botch (sic)?'' he said in a text.

By early October last year, Mr Slipper was aware of Mr Ashby's interest in an insurance agent the Speaker called "Bill" because he reminded him of former US President Bill Clinton.

On October 14, Mr Slipper questioned the relationship between Mr Ashby and "Bill". "Is he a special friend or just business?" he asked Mr Ashby about the man.

Then, on October 16, Mr Slipper enquired whether Mr Ashby, after a night out, was not just tired but "shagged". Mr Ashby took that as a reference to sexual relations.

There was another Bill reference on October 16 when Mr Slipper said: "Sounds to me that you may have broken the drought." And on October 28, "Did you lose your maidenhood", followed by a reference to Mr Ashby's "virtual hymen".

Attention went back to Mr Brough, whom on December 3 Mr Slipper called "that little f..ker on the Bolt Report."

Late in December, Mr Slipper playfully reprimanded Mr Ashby by saying: "I'm going to smack u. Arhhhhhhhh."

Mr Ashby replied, "Ah I might like it. Tho I'm not into pain."

On January 18, after Mr Slipper had not heard from his adviser for a while, Mr Ashby joked he had quit.
"Y r a cccc....tttttt :)," Mr Slipper replied. "Cccccccc.....t."

Mr Ashby's response was: "You love it but."

These  Female members of the Australian Labor Party voted to support Peter Slipper today following a motion by the Liberal Party Opposition that he resign following evidence tendered in Court this past week.Relevant doc above.

Macquarie Radio Network Announcement - 

Sunday, October 7, 2012

Macquarie Radio Network Limited ("MRN"), the owner of radio station 2GB, today announced a temporary suspension of all advertising in its top rating weekday Breakfast Show hosted by Alan Jones.

The move follows a week of unprecedented focus throughout mainstream and social media on Jones and remarks he made recently at a private function regarding Prime Minister Julia Gillard and the loss of her father. More specifically, the move has been prompted by actions being taken and threatened against companies advertising on the Alan Jones Breakfast Show.

Announcing the suspension of advertising, MRN Executive Chairman Russell Tate said, "the nature, tone and volume of the reaction to Jones’ remarks, and in particular the threats being made through social media to companies advertising in Jones' program and the disruption being caused to their businesses, have made it necessary for MRN to call some 'time out".

The Bolt Report Pts. 1,2 & 3 Sept 30 2012.

Alan Jones apologises and Their ABC enlists Sista Bergmann for an analysis.

Alan Jones claims PM Gillard's father died of shame.....I disagree

Alan Jones does what MOST Conservatives never do ....

Alan Jones Replies at last a conservative defends himself

Alan Jones Julia Gillards Father comments

"Some simple facts need to be acknowledged.

"There is almost universal agreement that Jones' remarks were unacceptable, wrong and inexcusable. Alan himself acknowledged that from the moment he first advised me of them. He immediately arranged a media conference to state that publicly and apologise to the Prime Minister.

"Although the remarks were not made on 2GB, our position from the outset has been that a personal, unconditional apology was a necessary and appropriate response. I encouraged Alan to repeat the apology on 2GB when he first returned to air last Tuesday morning following his media conference. His apology was unambiguous and unconditional. He has revisited his apology many times in subsequent broadcasts.

"Alan Jones' audience, those who listen regularly to his program, also agree that his remarks were unacceptable. From Research we have conducted over this weekend with them, it is also clear though the great majority acknowledge his apology and have not significantly changed their attitude towards the Alan Jones Breakfast Show.

"Nor importantly is there any indication from regular listeners that their attitudes towards companies advertising in the program has changed adversely.

“Since we now know these things to be fact, we have to conclude that the avalanche of telephone, email and facebook demands to our advertisers to “boycott” the Alan Jones Breakfast Show, and the threats to destroy their businesses if they don’t comply, are coming almost entirely from people who do not listen to Alan Jones or 2GB at all – probably never have done and never will.

"Now in Australia these people of course have the right to express their views to anybody who wants to listen, about any subject they want, including Alan Jones and his radio show. They also have the right and plenty of choice; freedom of choice, to listen to any of the hundreds, in this digital age, thousands of radio programs available to them.

"What they do not have the right to do is on the one hand decide for our listeners who and what they are going to hear on the radio station they choose to listen to, and on the other hand decide for Australian based companies which media outlets they will or won’t use to advertise their products and services. They do not have the right to interfere with freedom of choice and they do not have the right to attempt to censor – not Alan Jones, not this radio network, not the people who choose to listen to it and not the companies who choose to advertise on it.

“What we are seeing here is 21st Century censorship, via cyber-bullying.

"As a talk-station we openly advocate debate. Talk radio is arguably the original form of social media. The difference between 2GB and some catchy URL is that MRN operates in a regulated media environment.

"We hold ourselves, and are held, to account on many levels. We operate within a long established regulatory guidelines and rules. We’re accountable to the regulatory authorities for our license to operate; to our listeners who have the freedom to leave us any time they want; to our advertisers who will leave us if our listeners do; to our shareholders who will show staff and management the door when the advertisers disappear.

“We are happy to listen to any constructive criticism of what we are doing. We do it every day, often live on-air. But strangely we have heard very little on this issue from the same social media groups which are attempting to destroy the companies who have the hide to advertise with the highest rating radio station in Sydney. All of their focus is destructive. They are simply making life as difficult as possible for the staff of companies whose crime apparently is advertising on Sydney’s highest rating breakfast radio show.

“How hard is it to work out that those companies do not choose to advertise in the Alan Jones Breakfast Show because they agree with all of his views and everything he says. They advertise in the Show only because they want to engage with the massive audience who listens to him – an audience which has dominated the ratings in the Sydney market for over a decade. An audience which chooses to listen and an audience which, if and when it decides it has had enough of Alan Jones and goes somewhere else, will be closely followed by those same companies.

“We have taken this unprecedented decision to suspend advertising in the Alan Jones Breakfast Show until further notice so that all of our advertisers are on an equal footing, can regroup and discuss with us the way forward and how we together deal with these attempts to damage great Australian businesses. We’ll be doing that over the next week or so and I would personally also welcome discussion with representatives of the organisations behind the totally unwarranted pressure being put on our advertisers. But any discussion will need to be face to face, not hiding behind a keyboard.

“The decision obviously comes at a very significant short term cost to MRN. It is an insignificant price to pay for our audience to be able to listen to what they choose to listen to, and for Australian companies to advertise where they choose to advertise.”

Alan Jones loses his Merc

JONATHAN MARSHALL AND JORDAN BAKER
The Sunday Telegraph
October 07, 2012 12:00AM

MERCEDES-BENZ will confiscate Alan Jones's $250,000 sponsored car, and has vowed to never again support the controversial broadcaster or his radio station 2GB.

The carmaker expressed its strong distaste at Jones's comment, revealed last week by The Sunday Telegraph, that Prime Minister Julia Gillard's father, John Gillard, "died of shame" because of "lies" told by his daughter.

"We want the car back, the deal is cancelled, it is over," Mercedes-Benz's corporate communications manager, David McCarthy, said.

If the car is not returned, Mercedes will send someone to repossess it.

Mercedes-Benz Australia-Pacific, owned by the Daimler Group, distanced itself from Jones and has cancelled all radio advertising .

The Sunday Telegraph revealed last weekend Jones told a Sydney University Liberal Club dinner on September 22 that the prime minister's 83-year-old father, John, "died of shame".

"We were appalled and shocked at the lack of respect (the comments) expressed," Mr McCarthy said.

Now the company has informed Jones it wants him to return the black 2012 S-Class Mercedes the broadcaster has been driving free.

Should the vehicle not be returned by October 31, a Mercedes-Benz representative would collect it, he said.

The Sunday Telegraph understands Jones had been able to use the expensive vehicle as part of a sponsorship agreement with 2GB's owner, Macquarie Radio.Mercedes-Benz bosses have ditched advertising on Jones's show and across the station.

"We have terminated ALL (sic) commercial arrangements with 2GB," the company said in a statement. "We cannot see a circumstance that will see us returning to advertising (on Jones's) show."

Mr McCarthy refused to reveal how much the deal with 2GB was worth, other than to say: "It's now worth a lot less than it was a week ago."

Macquarie is offering discount rates for new advertisers, and has emailed subscribers asking if they have changed their opinion of 2GB and its sponsors, many of whom have dumped the station and Jones.

"During the last week, has your attitude towards companies that advertise on the Alan Jones Breakfast Show changed?" the survey asked.

Macquarie has told at least one agency it would discount standard rates by at least 15 per cent. Advertisements on his show usually sell for $1170 and live reads for $3300.

More than 70 companies have backed away and shares in Macquarie Radio crashed this week amid estimates that the boycott could cost millions.

A spokesman for Macquarie Radio refused to comment.

Jones is still in demand as a speaker, with a spokeswoman for Saxton Speakers saying no bookings were cancelled. Jones charges about $12,000 per speaking engagement.

A Facebook blitz on sponsors has more than 11,000 "likes", with users bombarding advertisers with emails.

Jenna Price from the Destroy the Joint movement named after Jones's claim women such as Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore were "destroying the joint" - said one sponsor got 4000 emails.

Staff at 2GB told activists the boycott would hurt young employees, not Jones.

Shares in 2GB fell six per cent last week.

Australians ROBBED of $3 Billion by Australia's Labor Green Loon Socialist Government's UN seat of SHAME

$3b price of Labor's UN desire
Huge Security Council bid bill

Gemma Jones
Political Reporter
Daily Telegraph,
Page 6 21012

AUSTRALIAN aid spending in Africa, the Caribbean, South East Asia and the Pacific has increased by $3 billion since the government announced its bid for the UN Security Council.

 Australian Taxpayers ROBBED of $3 Billion by Australian Labor Green Loon Government to pay UN Ransom for seat of shame at UN Security Council.

Countries usually not supported by Australia, which the government believes are now backing the bid have been lavished with tens of millions of dollars.

The government claims the campaign announced by Kevin Rudd in 2008 for the seat, which will be voted on at the UN later this month, has cost $23.59 million.

However, aid and development spending in countries believed to be backing  Australia has  exploded,with taxpayers now funding everything from diplomatic training in the Caribbean to mango production practices in Cambodia and pearl culture in Tanzania.

The increase in spending has come as Australia committed to increase its aid budget to 05 per cent of GDP by 2015, up from 0.32 in   2008-09,   but   government sources said the sudden change in focus outside of Australia's region to Africa and the Caribbean was designed around the bid.

Spending in Africa, where the government has concentrated much of its effort due to the region's 50 UN votes, has included a $300,000 membership of a convention on biological diversity in Kenya.

The number of African countries receiving support doubled between 2008-10, a government aid spending  report  revealed, with  total spending in the region leaping from $101 million in 2007-08 to $354 millon this financial year. Australia is now funding services including food, shelter, health and education safe water and sanitation in Somalia,  Kenya,  Ethiopia,  South Sudan, Sudan, Libya, Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, Cote d'lvoire,  Chad  and  the  Central African Republic. A water safety project for Malawi, Mozambique Zambia and Zimbabwe is also being funded by Australian taxpayers

Australia has given $17.3 million to help African countries improve law and order and justice and $143,000 for an African Network of Forensic Medicine forum.

In  2011, Australia  hosted  60 African  heads  of state or delegations, while Governor-General Quentin Bryce visited nine African states in 2009. Prime Minister Julia Gillard has appointed five special envoys to Africa.

Five years ago Australia gave no aid to the Caribbean but the region along with South America, has been lavished with almost $170 million in assistance since the UN bid was announced. The government believes it has the support of 15 Caribbean countries.

A scholarship program in 2010 cost $150,000 and $210,000 was spent on a Caribbean Economic Resilience Design.

South America has also benefited with $65 million given to a giant telescope project in Chile.

Foreign Minister Bob Carr denied the aid and development splurge is linked with the bid.

"Australia's aid program is not a part of the UNSC bid budget," his spokeswoman said. She said Australian aid alleviated poverty, helped children and added, "we cannot be serious about alleviating global poverty without considering
ways to support Africa".

"Some people go through drugs, some people choose to dance as an exotic dancer. It was fun for me.
"I am from the part of the world where I had never experienced that kind of stuff, so I just did it because it was there and it was fun to do."

Kevin Rudd didn't know brother's wife was a Stripper

BY: PATRICIA KARVELAS, POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
The Australian 
August 22, 2007 

KEVIN Rudd's brother never told him that his wife had worked as a stripper because he wanted to protect the Opposition Leader's political career.

Greg Rudd yesterday defended his wife's former profession, arguing that many smart young women did it and found it an "enriching" experience.


Greg Rudd's wife, Okhola, spent several months at a Brisbane strip club in 2001 working as an "exotic dancer".

The pair say they first met in a Brisbane coffee shop.

But yesterday Greg Rudd told The Australian that he was a part-owner of a restaurant across the road from the strip club. He said his restaurant provided catering for the women who worked at Universal Girls, including his wife.

"I never actually told Kevin because I have been conscious of the journey Kevin is on* and I've been conscious that there's some things he didn't need to know," he said. "Not because I thought Kevin would be shocked, because I told my mum and she just shook her head and went, 'that's typical of you'. 

"I leased a restaurant in Brisbane called Pages on Mary.

"Across the road was a strip club that opened virtually at the same time.

"We used to provide food for a lot of the girls, a lot of our patrons would go across there, and vice versa."

Greg Rudd said spending time in a strip club was a "bit like going for a free therapy session".

"A lot of guys talk to strippers about a whole pile of stuff that they wouldn't talk to anyone else about -- all the hassles they are having at home, the hassles they are having at work. In my experience, there was probably more talk that went on than any touching of flesh."

He said many university students found stripping beneficial.

"It helps economically, of course, but it's also an enriching experience because where else do young women at university in particular get access to professional guys who are CEOs where they can talk openly and honestly to them?"

Greg Rudd, 53, said when he first saw the headlines about his younger brother's visit to the New York strip club Scores, hethought the reports were about him. He said his Botswana-born wife had tried exotic dancing because she had wanted a different life experience.

"African women love dancing and they are not afraid of flesh so it's not hard to understand why she thought it would be interesting," Greg Rudd said.

Ms Rudd came to Australia on a student visa in 1998 under a Botswanan government scholarship to study psychology. She is now completing a masters degree in organisational psychology at Brisbane's Griffith University.

Exotic dancing in the family for Rudd

Martin Philip 
The Courier-Mail 
August 21, 2007 

KEVIN Rudd's sister-in-law yesterday admitted to her secret past as a stripper, saying it was a period of her life she regretted.

Okhola Rudd, the wife of the federal Opposition Leader's brother Greg, yesterday told The Courier-Mail she spent several months at a Brisbane strip club in 2001 working as an "exotic dancer".

But Mrs Rudd denied meeting her husband for the first time while on the podium, insisting the pair met in a Brisbane coffee shop.

The 30-year-old Botswanan-born woman said she had been drawn into the world of exotic dancing out of curiosity rather than necessity.

"I didn't need to dance as an exotic dancer, it was just a stage that I went through," she said.

"Some people go through drugs, some people choose to dance as an exotic dancer. It was fun for me. I am from the part of the world where I had never experienced that kind of stuff, so I just did it because it was there and it was fun to do.

"Do I regret doing it? Yes. If I was to do it all over again, I probably wouldn't go back and dance in a strip club, but it happened and I'm not proud of it but I guess I just have to work with the repercussions that come with that."

Mrs Rudd came to Australia on a student visa in 1998 under a Botswanan government scholarship.

She is completing a Masters degree in organisational psychology at Brisbane's Griffith University.

Greg Rudd yesterday said his wife had been unfairly dragged into the federal election campaign.

"Yes, I love Okhola. No, I have no regrets," he said.

Kevin Rudd said: "I love my brother. He and his wife have a loving relationship, their marriage is a matter for them."

The other Rudd

Ben Fordham speaks with Greg Rudd about his play for a seat in the Queensland senate.

So Just what IS Lu Kewen’s idea of a “GOOD time” Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 is a much publicized Church going man of strong Religious spirituality and conviction, whilst he has usually been seen on TV news every Sunday Night exiting a Church with Madame Rein on his arm he has said that he could just as easily fall to his knees at a Mosque (should the photo opportunity arise) So Lu Kewen’s Religiosity really depends upon who is looking at any particular time.

The true Character of a man can be best judged by observing how he behaves when he thinks no one is watching him.

So what does Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd do when he thinks no one is watching him? I know, I know ,what you are thinking “what Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd does AFTER he goes to whatever Church he feels is best to be filmed walking out of every Sunday, by Australia’s main stream media and the Lefts taxpayer funded ABC / SBS networks is none of Australia’s Business……….

"I never actually told Kevin because I have been conscious of the journey Kevin is on..." Greg Rudd.

Was this Kevin's Journey ?


What Rudd might have seen
By Glenn Milne 
The Sunday Telegraph

SCORES in Manhattan is variously described as "a strip club", "a haven for horny high rollers" and "one of several gentlemen's clubs which changed the face of adult entertainment during the early 1990s".

It's also full-on. 

One Australian who's been there described the "entertainment" to The Sunday Telegraph: "The girls start with dresses on. Then they come off and they don't have any bras on - just a g-string. 

"Then they start dancing, rubbing their breasts into the customers' faces, lap dancing. 

"The guys have their hands all over their backsides and their legs. 

"All the girls specialise in turning around, bending over to face the customer and then there's lots of butt slapping. 

"They open the men's legs apart. 

"The manager - a big guy - comes around and asks whether you want a blonde or brunette. 

"There are private rooms you can go to." 

In January this year, some of the "dancers" were charged with prostitution-related offences at the club, described in one newspaper report as an "implant paradise". 

According to the report, in The New York Post, four strippers and two of their bosses were charged for "offering to take undercover officers, who were acting on a tip, into a back room and pleasure them for money". 

The price was $US200 ($250) to $US700 ($880) depending on the "act". 

A so-called "Platinum Package" in one of those rooms costs $US195 ($246) for three hours. 

According to the Scores website: "If privacy is what you seek then look no further than the President's Club. 

"Enjoy the up close and personal company of your favourite Scores girl or girls." 

"Tipping is made easy at Scores with Diamond Dollars. 

"Use your credit card instead of your cash. Best of all, it's discreet!" 

One customer review on the NY City Search site notes: "Scores has the best bouncers among all gentleman clubs in NY City. 

"They do not interfere unless you really cross the limit." 

The club has hosted celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan and US shock jock Howard Stern, who regularly promotes the venue in his program. 

But Scores also has a dark side. 

There have been allegations of mafia connections in the past. 

There have also been civil lawsuits filed against the club from customers alleging contested credit card charges of as much as $US129,000 ($162,000).
