The Real JuLIAR Gillard ? Lame ducks larking in the Oval Office can't fool all the people all of the time.
Lame ducks larking in the Oval Office can't fool all the people all of the time
The Daily Telegraph
March 11, 2011
RARELY has a state visit to the US by an Australian prime minister achieved as little as has been delivered by Julia Gillard after her meeting with President Barack Obama.
Lame ducks larking in the Oval Office can't fool all the people all of the time.
A football lesson in the Oval Office, a lecture on Vegemite, and a saccharine speech to a joint sitting of Congress that only served to underscore her own monumental history of political backflips.
It didn't help, either, that her arrival in Washington coincided with the release of a Newspoll showing she had scored the greatest rise in personal dissatisfaction (12 points) of any prime minister in the polling organisation's history.
But it might have given her something to talk about with Obama as he pulled off his own greatest backflip, a reversal of his plans to close the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay.
This was at the absolute core of Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, much the same as Gillard's "There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead" promise was front-and-centre in her bid for election.
Gillard has not seen the folly of her ways. Obama may be a hopeless president but he learnt a lesson in this instance. Gillard shows absolutely no sign that she has learnt anything.
She was cheered when she addressed a joint sitting of Congress but it may have helped that her audience knew little about her.
Gillard was in full gush mode by the time she wound up her address, telling her listeners that on the centenary of President Ronald Reagan's birth, "he remains a great symbol of American optimism. The only greater symbol of American optimism is America itself".
Had her audience only known that when Reagan was president, Gillard was a leading member of the management committee of the Socialist Forum, a radical group of activists including many former members of the Communist Party, who were largely united in their hatred of the US.
There could hardly be a greater contrast between Gillard and Reagan. He stood for lower taxes and stronger defence, she stands for higher taxes and presides over a defence force that is unable to put a ship or submarine to sea and has lost its fighter-bomber air capacity.
Reagan took on the union movement, defeating striking air traffic controllers and presiding over employment growth and rebuilding America after President Jimmy Carter's failed experiments.
Gillard has given the union movement a free hand to once again rebuild and destroy Australian small businesses and stifle individual enterprise.
Gillard and Obama are in many ways kindred spirits, disastrously reliving their days as student politicians as their policies wreak havoc upon their nations.
Fortunately, in both cases, the people - even those who were among their staunchest supporters - are starting to wake up.
The polls tell the story for Gillard; a more subtle message was delivered to Obama at the White House this week when it was revealed that there had been almost no entries for a high school competition to win the President as the commencement day speaker.
He is apparently so unpopular that just 14 schools initially entered the competition compared with 1000 applicants last year.
Gillard and Obama, birds of a feather - lame ducks (and there's no threat implied and no animals have been harmed in the creation of this column).
Obama is great at presentation and oratory, Gillard fails on both scores - and both are dead in the water when it comes to policy delivery.
Duds.
One could only feel sympathy for former Opposition leader Kim Beazley - an honest, scholarly and thoughtful person, now Australian ambassador to Washington - as Gillard paraded through town, and conclude that her cheering audience must have been drinking Charlie Sheen's tiger blood cocktails.
I agree with most of what Julia Gillard said in her address to the joint sitting of Congress,the content of her address indicated a complete reversal of the Australian Labor Party’s, and indeed her own long stated dislike of all things American.
It was possibly the first time that she has enunciated the views and sentiments of the vast majority of the Australian people, she appears to have turned her back on her past twenty plus years of Anti American ,anti Judeo Christian Democracy and anti Capitalism activism.
I would not be the only Australian who remembers clearly her days as the “angry young rabid Marxist student organizer”frothing at the mouth denouncing all that is American and Australian,demanding the end of the ANZUS Treaty the removal of American bases etc etc etc.
She has not explained why she was engaging in photo ops in front of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington our own Australian Vietnam vets were been told her government could not afford to present their medals personally so they would be posted to them. (Battle of Long Than veterans)
It would not be unreasonable to ask Madame Gillard has she been lieing these past twenty years or was her address to the joint sitting of Congress a lie ?
Lance Cpl Liam Tasker & Theo back home in Wootton Bassett,where they belong.
UK soldier, loyal dog, make final journey
The Australian
March 10, 2011
THE body of a British soldier shot dead in Afghanistan was being flown home today, alongside the loyal dog who died of a
seizure after his master was killed.
Lance Cpl Liam Tasker, a dog handler with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, was killed in a firefight with insurgents in
Helmand Province last week. Theo, his bomb-sniffing springer spaniel, suffered a fatal seizure hours later at a British
army base.
The 26-year-old soldier and the dog had been in Afghanistan for six months, uncovering roadside bombs. In February, the
defence ministry announced that Theo had been so successful - finding 14 hidden bombs - that his tour of duty had been
extended by a month.
Tasker's squadron commander, Maj Caroline Emmett, said the soldier and Theo "were made for each other".
"He and his dog had more operational finds than any individual team has had in Afghanistan to date and he saved many
lives as a result of this," she said.
Tasker's body was being flown back to an air force base in England today on a flight also carrying the ashes of Theo.
The cortege carrying Tasker is due to pass through the town of Wootton Bassett, where local people line the streets in a
mark of respect each time a dead solder is repatriated.
The Ministry of Defence said Theo's ashes would be presented to Tasker's family later at a private ceremony.
Tasker was the 358th British soldier to die in Afghanistan since the 2001 US-led invasion. Theo was the sixth British
military dog killed in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2001.
What a waste of two wonderful lives.

Q Society : has Australia finally spawned a truly genuine anti “Islamic Colonization of Australia” organization ?
Has Australia hit the jackpot with this group? I like what I see & hear so far.
Please go to this groups web site, and if you agree support them, while you still can.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The biggest problem Muslims have is that their opponents are NOT IGNORANT , if they were they would be unchallenged and able to go about their Koran dictated implementation of Islamic Colonization of the West.
When these front men and women for Satan spew their Koran inspired “Multicultural Industry” sponsored, denials of treachery and affirmations of “Islam is a Religion of Peace” the two faced deception of the Islamist is all so obvious, that’s why 5/6ths of the EARTHS population has rejected outright the Filth that is Islam.
If we were IGNORANT we would be SILENT.
Knowledge is power.
Now piss off back to whatever Islamic shit hole it was you,your parents or Grand parents RAN AWAY FROM.

Muhammed Dawood aka. Celebrity Terrorist David Hicks “mingles with Sydney’s Jet Set” aka. Labor and their Leftist backers
David Hicks mingles with the jet set
March 09, 2011
Hicks and wife Aloysia mingled with the likes of Premier Kristina Keneally and NSW Governor Marie Bashir at the Elizabeth Bay launch of Stories From The Wayside, a book by The Wayside Chapel's Reverend Graham Long, Hicks' pastor.
"We are proud of every single person who came to the event tonight and that includes David Hicks," a spokeswoman said.
The beautiful people and “their David”, these beautiful people , the “jet set” these vermin have the gall to appear at funerals of Australian servicemen killed in Afghanistan by “their David’s’ fellow terrorists pals, with onion in handkerchief so as to elicit a tear when required for their media publicists camera’s.
You would not piss on “……Sydney’s Jet Set “ if it was on fire.
Muhammad Dawood (David Hicks): Osama a "lovely man"
The lovely one
Muhammad Dawood, aka David Hicks, is an Australian convert to and misunderstander of Islam. "Osama bin Laden a 'lovely' man, Hicks says in letter," from the Herald Sun (thanks to all who sent this in):
DAVID Hicks praised Osama bin Laden as "lovely" in letters read to a court as a magistrate considered the conditions of a control order to be placed on the former Guantanamo Bay detainee.The Australian Federal Police (AFP) today used the six-year-old letters to argue the 32-year-old terrorism supporter remained a perceived threat to Australia.
But although they say the letters are out of date and he poses no threat, Hicks's lawyers today did not oppose the AFP's application to the Federal Magistrates Court for Australia's second control order.
Hicks will be released from Adelaide's Yatala prison on December 29 after serving out his US-imposed sentence for providing material support for terrorism.
AFP lawyer Andrew Berger today asked that as part of a control order Hicks be forced to attend a police station three times a week and stick to a midnight to 6am curfew, among other conditions.[...}
Oh, well, then, nothing to be concerned about!
Arguing for the control order, Mr Berger said Hicks had admitted taking part in four al-Qaida training camps between January 2001 and August 2001, a month before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York.Hicks undertook "substantial training" in basic arms and combat training, guerilla warfare and advanced marksmanship, he told the court.
Mr Berger said there was a "plethora of evidence" against Hicks, including letters he sent to his family in Adelaide while training with al-Qaida.
In one, Hicks wrote: "By the way, I have met Osama bin Laden 20 times now, lovely brother, everything for the cause of Islam. The only reason the west calls him the most wanted Muslim is because he's got the money to take action."
Hicks also described himself as a "fit, young Muslim, ready to defend Islam", and in another letter wrote of the "poison" of the west, which he said was trying to crush Islam.
"Jihad is still valid to this day," he wrote.

Australians tell Madame Gillard, Australia’s Socialist Liar for Hire PM just how popular she really is, whilst fellow Socialist Hussein Obama sings her praises.
Every day it is becoming clearer just how much of a mess Labor is in.
Five days before the last election Julia Gillard promised: “There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead.” Now, with Ms Gillard caving in to the Greens and breaking her promise, Australians face a new tax and extra pressure on family budgets.
At a time when Australians are already doing it tough, Labor’s carbon tax will unnecessarily lift electricity, grocery and petrol prices and attack jobs in our key industries.
In a major address delivered in Adelaide last night, Tony Abbott warned of the cost of Labor’s carbon tax.
He said:
“Even at $26 a tonne, a carbon tax would add an average of $300 a year to electricity bills (and $500 in NSW). It would add 6.5 cents to the cost of a litre of petrol. At this rate, a carbon tax would raise about $10 billion a year without materially reducing emissions because consumers have previously absorbed price rises of this magnitude.“A carbon tax of about $25 a tonne would close 16 coal mines and cost 10,000 jobs in coal mining (according to Access Economics). It would cost 24,000 jobs in mining generally (according to ACIL). It would cost 45,000 jobs in emissions-intensive industries (according to Frontier Economics). It’s “economic vandalism” according to the head of Bluescope Steel that will drive manufacturing jobs offshore.
“A carbon tax would add 25 per cent to the price of electricity and up to five per cent to the cost of groceries because power and transport costs are embedded in the price.”
For Labor and the Greens the only answer is tax, tax, tax.
The Coalition knows there is a better way. Our direct action plan on climate change is economically responsible and won’t cost Australian jobs.

Australia: Labor’s CO2 TAX On EVERYTHING explained, CO2 Tax for Dummies
“But it isn't really about the environment or the myth of manmade global warming. If it was, then global warming conferences would be teleconferences, not giant binges of jet travel, hotel stays and open bars. It's about what all counter-revolutions are about, the recovery of lost power by an elite. As the Bolshevik takeover of Russia was a counterrevolution against the authentic revolution that had toppled the imported German monarchy of the Czars, the left has been conducting its own counterrevolution against the republican political and economic revolutions that put an end to the monarchies of the West. Their goal is to dismantle the republics and replace them with global entities under the control of the truly enlightened. The anti-elitist elite.
Environmentalism is a convenient tool of the economic counterrevolution, which undermines popular rule, national sovereignty, individualism, economic prosperity and cultural identity, in order to reassemble a bureaucratic empire that will oversee everyone's lives, with no say in it from them. Spreading poverty, cultural division, fragmenting families and national unity, are all key elements in the campaign. Creating chaos and misery, and then stepping in to fix it, is a time honored trick of tyrants. The trick is being played on us all over again. Almost all of their cards are on the table now. And they are dealing from the bottom of the deck.”

CO2 Tax for Dummies
Let's put this into a bit of perspective for laymen! Graphic Here
ETS is another tax. It is equal to putting up the GST to 12.5% which would be unacceptable and produce an outcry.
Read the following analogy and you will realize the insignificance of carbon dioxide as a weather controller.
Pass on to all in your address book including politicians and may be they will listen to their constituents, rather than vested interests which stand to gain by the ETS.
Here's a practical way to understand Julia Gillard Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.
Imagine 1 kilometer of atmosphere and we want to get rid of the carbon pollution in it created by human activity. Let's go for a walk along it.
The first 770 meters are Nitrogen.
The next 210 meters are Oxygen.
That's 980 meters of the 1 kilometer. 20 meters to go.
The next 10 meters are water vapour. 10 meters left.
9 meters are argon. Just 1 more meter.
A few gases make up the first bit of that last meter.
The last 38 centimeters of the kilometer - that's carbon dioxide. A bit over one foot.
97% of that is produced by Mother Nature. It’s natural.
Out of our journey of one kilometer, there are just 12 millimeters left. Just over a centimeter - about half an inch.
That’s the amount of carbon dioxide that global human activity puts into the atmosphere.
And of those 12 millimeters Australia puts in .18 of a millimeter.
Less than the thickness of a hair. Out of a kilometer!
As a hair is to a kilometer - so is Australia 's contribution to what Julia Gillard calls Carbon Pollution.
Imagine Brisbane 's new Gateway Bridge , ready to be opened by Julia Gillard. It's been polished, painted and scrubbed by an army of workers till its 1 kilometer length is surgically clean. Except that Julia Gillard says we have a huge problem, the bridge is polluted - there's a human hair on the roadway. We'd laugh ourselves silly.
There are plenty of real pollution problems to worry about.
It's hard to imagine that Australia 's contribution to carbon dioxide in the world's atmosphere is one of the more pressing ones. And I can't believe that a new tax on everything is the only way to blow that pesky hair away.
Pass this on quickly while the ETS is being debated in Federal Parliament.

Australia. Sapper Jamie Larcombe laid to rest on Kangaroo Island
Sapper Jamie Larcombe farewelled on Kangaroo Island
Michael McGuire
The Advertiser
March 05, 2011
IT felt like too nice a day to say goodbye. The clouds had parted to let the autumn sun shine through, the wind was gentle and faraway surf crashed.
High on a bluff on Kangaroo Island, overlooking a sparkling blue sea, the younger sister of Sapper Jamie Larcombe read a poem farewelling her beloved brother, her voice catching on emotion and tears.
Sapper Larcombe was killed in Afghanistan two weeks ago.
"I miss being your little sister," Emily Larcombe began. "I miss hearing the sound of your voice. I wish I got to say I love you before you were given to the sky."
On a day when the heroism and valour of Sapper Larcombe, of the 1st Combat Engineer Regiment, was commemorated at his funeral service, it was the voice of his family that brought the devastating loss of war home to the 1000 people gathered at Flagstaff Hill on Kangaroo Island. Sapper Larcombe's three sisters all read poems in honour of their brother as his parents Steven and Tricia looked on. The pain and the grief was in their voices and words, and in the hush of those who had gathered to pay their respects to the 23rd Australian to die far from home, fighting a ruthless enemy in Afghanistan.
They came from everywhere to say goodbye. Climbing the hill from Kingscote were the young and the old, the workers and the retired, those who never knew Jamie Larcombe and those who'd known him forever.
There was Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, Defence Minister Stephen Smith and Acting Premier John Rau.
It was a sad and solemn day but there were moments of lightness and laughter when family friend Ted Speed delivered the eulogy for Sapper Larcombe.
There were old tales of horse rides gone wrong, motorbikes that had crashed, injuries to sisters.
Mr Speed spoke of the gratitude that Sapper Larcombe's long-time girlfriend Rhiannon Penhall had been able to speak to her boyfriend less than 24 hours before he was killed. He told the life story of a boy who became a man who was widely loved and respected. A fanatical Crows supporter, a keen fisherman who always got seasick, a member of the Country Fire Service who lived by the motto "Give it a Go".
His hero was Crows' legend Andrew McLeod. Larcombe sported McLeod's number 23 when playing for the Western Districts Football Club and Mr Speed noted the irony that Sapper Larcombe was the "23rd Australian to pay the ultimate price in Afghanistan". "Jamie left me in no doubt that he fought for what he believed in and he believed in what he fought for," Mr Speed said. "He was courageous, he was strong and a caring young man."
Sapper Larcombe grew up in the small community of Parndana. Fittingly, it was established as a soldiers' settlement after World War II and features the Soldiers Settlement Museum. All his schooling was done in Parndana and he graduated from the local area school in 2007.
He joined the army in 2008 and he was killed four months into his first tour of Afghanistan. Brigade Commander Gus McLauchlin told the crowd that sappers such as Larcombe were the heart and soul of the regiment. Often dirty, regularly cheeky, most likely to be found in the pub, the sappers of the 1st Combat Engineering Regiment also took on the most dangerous jobs the army had to offer.
The regiment had a motto that said simply: "Follow the Sapper".
On the day he was killed, Sapper Larcombe was at the head of a mission that was forging into the Taliban strongholds in the Mirabad Valley, not far from Tarin Kowt, to establish forward bases for Australian and Afghan forces . His job was to clear improvised explosive devices from the way ahead to make the route safe for others to follow.
Sapper Larcombe was doing his job when he was cut down by Taliban gunfire in an ambush. As Anzac Day approaches, Brigadier McLauchlin reminded us that: "He shall not grow old as those that are left behind grow old. Age will not weary him, or the years condemn.
"Whoever reads the Ode this year is talking about Jamie Larcombe. We will remember him just as he is for the rest of our lives."

Family Background
Savouring peace behind the scarf
Paul Kent From
The Daily Telegraph
September 25, 2010 12:00AM 
A serenity, a peacefulness in her life that wasn't there before.
"When I put the scarf on," she says, "I have never felt so beautiful in my whole, entire life."
What a feeling it must be.
A young woman, bright-eyed and true, brought up in the backyards of Australia. It was a childhood of touch football and hockey, of summer afternoons and big family Christmases.
Typical, you might call it.
And now she is a young mum, with four bouncing kids, and a husband and a life she nearly missed - and every day she prays and gives thanks for it. And all because she is now a Muslim.
It hits you like it hits everybody when they learn Rebecca Kay's choice.
Just last weekend a friend from her former hometown of Kiama came to visit her at home in Bankstown. She noticed the scarf and couldn't help but ask.
"But you're Australian," she said. "I know," she said.
"But why are you Muslim for?" was the response.
For many traditional Australians, the two are mutually exclusive. You cannot be both.
It is part of the misunderstanding about Islam, muddied by extremists and ignorance and all the very worst behaviour there is in all of us but which we often refuse to admit.
What is true is that fewer and fewer Australians are converting to Islam. When the planes went into the towers on September 11, 2001, Islam and the world changed forever.
What official figures there are for Australian converts, held by the Muslim Women's Association, are closely guarded and, even then, not entirely accurate.
"They can do it [convert] without even going to the mosque," says Keysar Trad, a Muslim spokesman.
"They can do it in a private ceremony at home. They can do it anywhere.
"But one thing I have found is even though there are a lot of people saying in the last nine years that there's a lot more interest in Islam, there were more people [converting] before we got so much publicity.
"The private interest changed to 'Can we tolerate Muslims' rather than 'Is this a way of life for us?'."
For Rebecca, the easy explanation is that her interest changed when she met her husband, Abdul Latf Darwiche, known as Albert.
Not that it changed quickly. Or easily. She is not the kind who does it the easy way.
From a family of high achievers - her mother Marie holds three world Masters records, her father John also represents Australia in Masters competition - she was similarly strong-willed.
She lived the young life, which is one of excess.
"The path I was going down before wasn't a great path," she says.
"I was a typical Australian that liked going out and drinking five nights a week.
"It kind of gets depressing over time."
For Marie and John, unable to curb their daughter's behaviour, it grew increasingly worrying. Until she met Albert and began asking his sisters about Islam.
"I give all my gratification to Albert for putting her back on the right road," Marie says. "It works both ways."
They met during Ramadan and, for Rebecca, the beauty of the religion came at night, when the sun was down and the family ate and drank together, and she saw the bond in their sacrifice.
She began questioning Albert's sisters, interested in the religion she knew so little about. They married in 2003 and, slowly, as is her way, Rebecca waited until the following year before telling Albert she wanted to convert.
It was done without ceremony, because, as she says, "God knows".
Three years later she went to a girlfriend's house, ready to begin wearing the hijab.
"My husband isn't fussed if I wear the scarf or not," she says. "I've been wearing it for three years. I feel that it's the next spiritual step for me. That it's the next decision."
Says Marie: "I get a lot of people look at me strangely here in Wollongong when I say my daughter is married to a Muslim and she's a Muslim and wears a scarf. I say she's still my daughter."
She has blossomed into a wonderful mother, says her mum, and now is part of a wider, wonderful family.
This is her religion.
One for which some want the burqa banned because they aren't like us.
Well, some are.
Bankstown Independent candidate Rebecca Kay married to Darwiche family member
ELECTIONS
8 FEB 11 @ 06:00AM BY JOANNE VELLA
Bankstown Express
A BANKSTOWN State Election candidate married to a member of the Darwiche family has urged people not to judge her or her relatives.
Rebecca Kay, 28, is the wife of Albert Darwiche, the older brother of 37-year-old drug boss Abdul, who was gunned down outside a Bass Hill service station on March 14, 2009. On October 30, 2003, Ahmad Fahda was shot 30 times at a service station in Punchbowl Rd, Punchbowl.
Ms Kay denied the Darwiches had an ongoing feud with the Fahda family. “I don’t feel there is a problem,” she said.
“Their (the Darwiches’) reputation exceeds them.”
The mother-of-four says she was driven to stand as an independent to keep the major parties “honest”.
Ms Kay is also prepared to take part in the Canterbury-Bankstown Express forum at Bankstown Sports Club on March 2 - unlike her Liberal opponent Bill Chahine and East Hills contender Glenn Brookes. “It’s the whole issue of Labor and Liberal,” she said.
“I hope to win but realistically I’m there to keep them honest. I want to see them fight for the seat.”
Formerly a loyal Labor voter, Ms Kay named Bankstown’s high-rise developments as one of her chief concerns for the electorate and accused Labor of being detached to the community’s needs.
Ms Kay said she had strong support with voters being a Muslim of Anglo-Australian background. The Wollongong-raised Bankstown resident converted to Islam eight years ago when she married Mr Darwiche.
“I’m a real person. I have a mortgage. I’m a mother. I know how it is to live in Bankstown.”

A CONFRONTATION between parents and police following racial slurs allegedly posted on a high school student's Facebook page descended into a police station being put into lockdown yesterday.
The incident began outside Hoxton Park High School, after the school closed yesterday.
Police were forced to use capsicum spray on some of the adults involved as stunned students watched on.
Six men and women aged between 26 and 50 were arrested.
Some of those involved said the incident began when a Muslim student was attacked by a mob of year 9 school girls.
The alleged victim of the mob attack claimed she was bashed by about 10 "Australian girls" at the school and the attack was racially motivated.
"I don't know why they chose me. I'm feeling really hurt and worried about what happened," she said.
She said the attack followed anti-Islamic slurs allegedly made on a fellow student's Facebook page.
Parents said this was not the first time such attacks had occurred, and some gathered at the school following the alleged attack on the girl.
The group of arrested people was taken to Green Valley police station.
But rumours then spread, also on Facebook, suggesting the fight was racially motivated and that police had removed the veil of a Muslim woman during the protest that followed.
An angry mob descended on the police station, with a witness saying hundreds of youths threw projectiles at officers.
The police helicopter, dog squad and riot officers were believed to have been called in. Police declined to comment on the alleged attack.

A CROWD descended on a southwestern Sydney police station after six people were arrested for fighting outside a high school.
Six men and women, aged from 26 to 50, were arrested outside Hoxton Park High School at Hinchinbrook about 3pm yesterday and charged
with various offences including affray.
Police used capsicum spray on the group and a number of officers were injured during the confrontation.
Hours later, about 8pm, a group of about 40 supporters entered Green Valley police station where the men and women were being held.
The supporters were told to leave when they became agitated and abusive.
The group then congregated outside the station but left a short time later.
The six arrested people have been granted bail and are due to appear at Liverpool Local Court on April 8.
Emotions run high as playground fight leads to parents brawl and invasion of police station

A group of 40 "emotional" people crowded into a Sydney police station after officers arrested six people over a fight outside a high school
about a playground dispute, police say.
Police said they were forced to use capsicum spray on the group outside Hoxton Park High School on Wilson Road, Hinchinbrook yesterday
afternoon.
Some officers were allegedly injured in the confrontation and six men and women, aged between 26 and 50, were arrested and taken to Green
Valley police station.
A large group of people later came into the police station, upset over the arrests, police said.
Chief Inspector Darrin Wilson said the scuffle outside the high school was over an earlier fight between students in the playground.
''That was a result of parents being unhappy with their daughter being assaulted in school grounds earlier in the day,'' he said.
He said the group were emotional, not angry.
"I guess it's just like any group of people, your family and friends get arrested, you become emotional," he said. "They took offence to us
arresting them."
Chief Inspector Wilson could not confirm reports a Muslim woman's veil had been ripped off by officers outside the high school.
"I've heard those rumours and I can't confirm them. Police were the victims in this and they acted accordingly."
The group were asked to leave the station, but gathered outside before finally leaving.
The six people arrested outside the school were charged with offences including affray, intimidation, assault police, resist arrest and
offensive language.
They were bailed and will appear in Liverpool Local Court on April 8.

Australian Politics:Madame Gillard receives a touch up from the back room boys aka. Labor’s “Faceless men”
These three Labor heavies tell Gillard to put brake on Greens

Led by the so-called "Godfather" of the NSW Labor right, Senator Don Farrell, the trio gave voice to backbench fears over the Greens' hold on the Gillard Government.
The right-wing delegation of Senator Farrell, and senior senators Steve Hutchins and John Hogg met the PM at 11.30am yesterday after the Greens claimed to have Government backing for a Bill to pave the way for gay marriage and legal euthanasia.
It is believed the PM said she had no knowledge of it and gave a commitment she would not back legal euthanasia.They had also confronted Treasurer Wayne Swan, who also claimed to be in the dark.
Senate Labor leader Chris Evans was later forced to apologise to a caucus of Labor senators at a 3pm meeting over what they claimed was a return to the Rudd-style lack of consultation and failure of government process.
The Greens had ambushed the Government by quietly introducing amendments to its own private member's Bill late on Tuesday night.
The amendment made the Bill far more radical and turned a "machinery" Bill into one that would pave the way for the territories to allow legal euthanasia and gay marriage by limiting the Commonwealth's ability to overturn territory legislation.
Anger was directed at former Labor leader Simon Crean, who briefed the ALP Caucus on the territories Bill on Tuesday. "There is a view around that, at best, Crean didn't explain the Bill and we've been misled," one Labor MP said. "Either that or it was a giant stuff up."
Mr Crean, however, defended his position, saying: "The position that I took to Caucus was the same position as supported by the party in 2006."
Ms Gillard now faces a possible breakout of factional war with right-wing MPs accusing Labor left MPs - who support gay marriage and euthanasia - of conspiring with the Greens to deceive the Government. The issue was later resolved when the PM intervened to ensure Labor would vote with the Coalition in the Senate to delay the Bill by referring it to a committee.
MPs are also angry that the PM's decision to introduce a carbon tax was not taken to the caucus.
Others told The Daily Telegraph they were receiving "virulent" emails complaining of a Labor "sell out" to the Greens, who combined with Ms Gillard to unveil the climate change pact.
And Last week Deputy Prime Minister Bob Brown announced the CO 2 TAX, the Labor Green TAX on EVERYTHING.

A SENIOR member of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement gang has been quizzed by police after a man was shot in the neck.
Police are investigating whether the Auburn shooting on Tuesday night is linked to gang rivalries in Sydney's southwest.
Detectives interviewed two men allegedly in a car with the victim, 21, about 9.40pm.
As the car pulled into Pine Rd, an argument erupted between the men and a group standing on the road.
"We have been given different version of events," Detective Inspector White said.
Shots were fired with one grazing the victim's neck. Shots also went into a house.
