Pink Inc tour broke all records

AFTER more than three months criss-crossing Australia, American pop superstar Pink has wrapped her record-breaking tour, grossing more than $80 million.

 

The inspirational singer played to a packed house at Sydney's Acer Arena last night. It was the 58th and final performance of her phenomenal Funhouse national tour.

In total, Pink performed before more than 660,000 concert-goers - 150,000 of those in Sydney alone - over the past three months.

"It is a huge commitment on her part but she loves being here,'' said tour promoter Michael Coppel.

"She didn't do it unwillingly. When we were doing (planning) the tour, we only had a month commitment and then all of a sudden the demand was there so we kept adding shows and ended up with three months. It was really meant to be a maximum of 30 days.

"She has graciously made the time available and I think she's had a great time doing it as well.''

Pink - whose real name is Alecia Moore - played her first show of the tour in Perth on May 22, then travelled the country tirelessly, performing sell-out shows.

She played 17 concerts in Melbourne, six in Adelaide, four in Newcastle, two in Wollongong and Canberra, 11 in Brisbane and four in Perth.

Combining ticket sales and merchandise, it is estimated the Funhouse tour would have grossed more than $80 million.
How much of Pink's multi-million dollar earnings will remain in Australia would depend on the type of contract she signed prior to arriving in the country, said University of Queensland taxation expert Stephen Marsden.

"There are special provisions in the Taxation Act for entertainers and sports people but it's not a flat rate,'' Mr Marsden said.

"If the contract was signed overseas, very little (of her earnings from ticket sales) may be subject to tax.''

Pink's high-energy, two-hour show covered all her biggest songs from her five albums, including Just Like A Pill, U + Ur Hand, Trouble, So What!! and Get The Party Started.

Reinforcing her reputation as one of the world's best live performers, her spectacular stage show included risque costumes, breathtaking aerial acrobatics and fabulous visual effects.

But it's not just Pink's concert tickets that have been selling.
She has sold more than 4.8 million albums and singles in Australia since releasing her debut offering, Can't Take Me Home, in 2000.

Her single So What!! has been in the ARIA Charts for the past year. Also over the past 12 months, all five of her albums made it into the top 30 at the same time.

Pink's Funhouse album has never left the top 10 in the 42 weeks since it was released last October, spending nine weeks at number one, which is a record for any female artist on the ARIA Charts.

It's not surprising Pink has often spoken of her desire to one day live in Australia.

"The Pink Australian success story has been extraordinary, it just doesn't get any bigger,'' said Sony Music chief Denis Handlin.

"Australians have affectionately embraced her as their own as she has done with us.''
Pink is scheduled to return tothe US today, where she will be reunited with her husband Carey Hart.

Hart spent some of the past few months in Australia, performing at moto-cross events in cities where Pink was playing.

Pink will celebrate her 30th birthday on September 8 before kicking off her first ever headline American tour.
She's has 12 American shows planned, starting in Seattle on September 15.

Ted Kennedy

To my American cousins,I have been watching the adulation heaped upon Ted Kennedy these last few days since he died, boy you guys sure know how to bung on a ‘wake’

I cant imagine what America would have done to honour him in his death had he not been responsible for the death of a young girl who’s scratch marks from her fingernails were found in the hood lining of the  motor vehicle he drove off a bridge into a river in a drunken stupor and managed to escape from, then wait over 24 hours to notify authorities of the “accident”

Ted Kennedy was above all a Humanitarian always on the look out for those who needed help the most … unless of course you were on his root list and he was so pissed he was not able to save you as well as himself after he drove his car off a bridge.

Ted was also a supporter of the Democrats  “Wimmins rights” and an opponent of older drunken male domination of young  girls.

Ted Kennedy, just like his dead brothers, represents all that the Democrat / International Socialism / Feminist Ideology stands for.

If only Mary Jo had of just been washed away, this Democrat Icon and holder of the left’s moral key’s  would have been President of the USA (what a bitch,have her parents prosecuted yet? If no why not?)

I am watching Foxe’s affirmative action correspondent One Williams waxing lyrical over this drunken womanizer and Democrat Icon, Ted Kennedy, claiming he is everything but the cure for cancer.

Son of  Bootlegging IRA financing,Irish Crap, but at least Ted never forgot the pathetic lack of standards he and his party stood for and  was expected to invoke, and he delivered 100% +

God Bless you Ted, for Satan clearly already has.

SHAME on Republicans lining up like lickspittle whipped dogs to praise this piece of SOCIALIST shit, Non Socialist Americans should note their names.

Ted Kennedy is why I started to understand why Christians hate Catholics.

Hussein Obowma Bitch slapped by Saudi Masters

 

Saudi Arabia in $2.4b Russian arms deal

From correspondents in Moscow
AFP
August 29, 2009 8:11PM

SAUDI Arabia is close to signing a $US2 billion ($2.39 billion) deal to buy Russian arms, a Russian defence industry source says.

US President,Islamic apologist and Islamic groupie and UN Pretty Boy, Hussein Obowma seen here grovelling to his Saudi Masters as French President looks on and sniggers at his subservience on one of Hussein Obowma’s

“I hate America too” world tours in 2009.

 

"Work is nearly complete on a set of contracts on the delivery of Russian arms and military technology to Saudi Arabia, with a total value of around two billion dollars," the source told Interfax news agency.

"For many of these contracts, all the technical and financial details have practically been agreed, for others work is still ongoing," he added.

Riyadh may purchase up to 150 helicopters  - 30 Mi-35 attack helicopters and up to 120 Mi-17 transport helicopters - more than 150 T-90S tanks, around 250 BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles and "several dozen" air defence systems, the source said.

Contracts for the sale of the tanks and the helicopters "could be signed as soon as this year," he told Interfax.

Spokespersons for Rosoboronexport, Russia's state-owned arms export monopoly, and for the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, which oversees the arms trade, could not be reached for comment.

Saudi Arabia - a close US ally - has long bought most of its arms from the US and Western Europe, but in recent years has been in talks on buying military equipment from Russia.

Meanwhile Russia is keen to find new markets for its weapons exports, one of the few sectors of Russian manufacturing that has enjoyed international success.

In 2008 Moscow and Riyadh signed a military cooperaton treaty, and this year Saudi King Abdullah received a delegation that included a top Kremlin adviser and an official from  Rosoboronexport.

Controversial nuclear scientist totally free

ABC

Sat Aug 29, 2009 7:45am AEST

A court in Pakistan has lifted the final restrictions on nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, allowing him total freedom of movement.

Dr Khan, whose work helped Pakistan become a nuclear state, spent years under house arrest after he admitted selling off nuclear weapons secrets.

In February, most restrictions on him were lifted, but he still had to notify authorities of his movements.

Dr Khan confessed to transferring nuclear weapons technology to Libya, North Korea and Iran in 2004 but was later pardoned by former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf.

He has since said that the charges against him were false and that his confession was "forced".

August 28, 2009 - 4:28PM

A jealous wife who allegedly set her husband's penis on fire will answer a murder charge in October.

Rajini Narayan appeared briefly in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today, charged with the murder of her husband.

The mother of three allegedly set fire to the genitals of her husband, Satish Narayan, in December last year.

Mr Narayan suffered major burns in the blaze and died several weeks later.

The fire also gutted the family's home in Unley, leaving a damage bill of $1 million.

A previous court hearing in January heard Narayan had told neighbours: "I'm a jealous wife, his penis should belong to me, I just wanted to burn his penis so it belongs to me and no one else ... I didn't mean this to happen."

In court on Friday, the case against Narayan, 44, was adjourned until October 30, when she will answer charges of murder, arson and endangering life.

Bond Action Inc.Black Group Comes Out In Support Of Glenn Beck

Black Group Comes Out In Support Of Glenn Beck

LOS ANGELES—BOND Action, Inc., a national cultural action organization, has come out in support of FOX News Channel broadcaster Glenn Beck. Beck has been under attack from the radical left-wing group ColorOfChange.org after he said last month that he believes President Obama is “a racist.” ColorOfChange.org was founded by Van Jones; a self-described “rowdy black nationalist.” Jones now serves as White House environmental advisor (“green jobs czar”). So far advertisers including Geico, Ally Bank, and Sargento Cheese have been intimidated into pulling ads off The Glenn Beck Show. “BOND Action, Inc., will be working to expose the source behind the boycott and counter it,” said Founder and President, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.

“Glenn Beck is right, Obama is a racist! ” added Rev. Peterson. “Where were the boycotts and outraged activists when President George W. Bush was being falsely maligned as a ‘racist’? This is a blatant double standard. This boycott is an attempt to silence Beck from continuing his expose’ of Barack Obama’s socialist agenda and his radical ‘green jobs czar’ Van Jones.”

ColorOfChange.org claims some 33 advertisers have pulled their ads off The Glenn Beck Show, but that number is reportedly exaggerated. ColorOfChange.org has a checkered past. The group reportedly endorsed outrageous statements by rapper Kanye West that former President Bush gave troops permission to go to New Orleans and shoot black people during Hurricane Katrina. Beck’s television program draws more than 2 million viewers and BOND Action, Inc., is calling on advertisers not to cave in to pressure.

Rev. Peterson said, “ColorOfChange.org claims that it exists to ‘strengthen Black America’s political voice’—but it’s clear that they are a left-wing, racist political group that deal in lies. This attempt to silence Beck is an attack on free speech and must be countered.”

BOND Action, Inc. is a 501 (c) (4) cultural action organization, which exists to educate motivate and rally Americans to greater involvement in the moral, cultural and political issues that threaten our great country. Contributions to BOND Action, Inc. are NOT tax-deductible, but are confidential. For more information call (877) WE-ACT-77 (932-2877) or visit www.bondaction.org.

Young Somalis lured home by al-Qa'ida

Richard Kerbaj
The Australian
October 02, 2007

YOUNG Somalian Muslims are secretly travelling back to their homeland to fight alongside al-Qa'ida-backed terrorists at the urging of hardline spiritual leaders in Australia.

Somalian spiritual leader Hersi Hilole yesterday warned that young men returning from their jihad mission against the Ethiopian-backed Somalian Government were more likely to consider becoming involved in a terrorist attack on Australia.

"Now when they come back, how are they going to join the rest of society?" Sheik Hilole said. "There is a great danger that they could carry out any kind of terrorist activity here."

Sheik Hilole, chairman of the Somali Community Council of Australia, said hardline clerics in Melbourne continued to "prey" on young Somalian men, whose welcoming attitudes to Wahabism - a puritanical interpretation of Islam espoused by Osama bin Laden - were a result of the ideology's prevalance in their home country.

He said the Somalian spiritual leaders preaching Wahabism had gone further "underground", following an Australian Federal Police investigation into claims that some Somalian community members were sending money home to assist the Islamic Courts movement that has been accused by the US of harbouring al-Qa'ida operatives. The AFP investigation, revealed in The Australian in April, is continuing.

"Some of these religious leaders who are teaching these radical ideas to the young people now have gone underground," Sheik Hilole said.

The Australian revealed yesterday that a Somalian man from Melbourne, Ahmed Ali, who travelled to Somalia in December to fight alongside the Islamic Courts movement after telling his mother he was going to Dubai, was believed to be working as an interpreter with al-Qa'ida.

Mr Ali's mother also accused Melbourne's ultra-radical Islamic spiritual leader Mohammed Omran of radicalising her son. A spokesman for Sheik Omran rejected her claims.

Iraqi family embraces life with old enemy

Michael McKenna 
The Australian
August 25, 2009

FOUR years after the al-Saadi family's lives were shattered by a Digger's spray of bullets in Baghdad, the Iraqis are making a new start in Australia following the granting of permanent residency.

In that fateful instant, on the evening of February 26, 2005, shop owner Nezar Saadi, his wife Lamyaa and their three young children - crowded into a Volkswagen as they returned home from a family function - were shot by a patrolling Australian soldier who mistook them for the enemy. Now, settled in Brisbane just suburbs away from the Digger who fired the volley of shots that maimed Mrs Saadi and youngest son Ahmed, the family of five has embraced the local lifestyle and professes gratitude to a country whose soldiers nearly killed them.

Both Ahmed, 13, and his older sister Shaymaa, 16, are typical Australian kids - loaded with energy and carrying mischievous smiles. They are both at high school, having studied English since their arrival for medical treatment in 2007, and talk of sports and their mates in broad Australian accents.

"We have really good friends at school," Shaymaa said.

Both play a range of sports, with their favourite, soccer, being the subject of typical sibling banter about who is the better player.

Mr Saadi is studying English, in preparation for entering the workforce. His wife is looking after their youngest daughter, Reem, 5, and herself, after bearing the brunt of the bullets and shrapnel that peppered their car in 2005.

Through an interpreter, Mrs Saadi said her children had fitted in well at school.

"They have been treated well and have made some good friends in Australia," she said.

Mrs Saadi can't get over the abundance of food compared with Iraq, which endured years of rations before the start of the war, and then massive shortages after the US forces took Baghdad.

"It's amazing - there's nothing I can't get here," she said.

In the attack, Mrs Saadi lost the sight in her left eye, suffered skull and jaw fractures, hearing loss and scarring to her face.

Ahmed, then aged 8, was blinded in his right eye.

Mrs Saadi still has severe headaches and may soon have further plastic surgery and be fitted with an artificial eye.

All of them were traumatised by the shooting and still undergo counselling.

The soldier who fired the shots was medically discharged months later, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Although the Saadis are not the only innocents to be injured by Australian forces in Iraq or Afghanistan, Immigration Department officials say they are the only known victims of either war to be brought to Australia for specialist medical treatment. Last year, they were granted permanent residency - also a first of its kind - in a move that appears to put to rest doubts about Australia's culpability in the attack on the family.

The Department of Defence has refused to release the report of the internal investigation into the shooting, but the secret report is likely to become the subject of a legal tug-of-war.

Last year, the Saadis made Australian legal history by launching civil action in Queensland's Supreme Court, seeking compensation for their injuries.

The case is set to test the assertion by Chief of the Defence Force Angus Houston that the commonwealth is not "legally liable" for injuries inflicted in ADF military operations.

The Saadis' solicitor, Rod Hodgson, a partner at Maurice Blackburn lawyers, said the government had treated the family well in Australia.

But Mr Hodgson said the standard of care and approval for permanent residency did not excuse the government from liability for the damage they had caused the family.

"The issue of compensation is distinct from that of their status as permanent residents, and the court proceedings remain on foot," he told The Australian.

"When we have some clarity as to prognosis, we are hopeful of having discussion with the government and resolving the court action.

"The government has been very sensible, compassionate and demonstrative of good will in their treatment of the family."

The Department of Defence last night failed to respond to questions about the case supplied last Thursday.

Through their lawyers, the Saadis said they were trying to put the pieces back together and create a brighter future for their children in Australia.

While the Saadis are the first to be allowed to live in Australia because of injuries inflicted by Australian troops, there are hundreds of other Iraqis who have been granted residency visas because of the assistance they gave to Australian forces.

Last year, the Rudd government said Iraqi employees, including translators and interpreters, would be able to apply for resettlement in "recognition of the personal security situation they will face" for their work with Australian forces.

The visas would extend to the employees' immediate families.

Immigration department figures show that up to last month, 450 Iraqis have arrived in Australia, with another 50 visas having been granted.

These people will cost Australian taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars over their and their families lifetime’s, with a never ending supply of social security benefits and FREE for life medical and dental treatment along with Free or heavily subsidised housing and an endless supply of family reunion “relatives” who are, for what ever reason granted residency in Australia over the coming years by a lick spittle Socialist Labor government and PM,”Kevin 07”  obsessed with engratiating themselves to their International Socialist masters at the United Nations.

Terror plot suspect 'planned big attack'

Mon Aug 24 2009
By Melissa Jenkins
News.NineMSN.com

Three men who allegedly plotted to kill soldiers at a Sydney army barracks are applying for bail.

One of the five men charged over an alleged suicide terrorism plot to kill soldiers at an Australian army barracks was keen to "strike big" if permitted under Islamic law.

Three of the men charged over the plan to attack the Holsworthy army barracks in Sydney -

Saney Edow Aweys, 26, of Carlton North, Nayef El Sayed, 25, of Glenroy, and Yacqub Khayre, 22, of Meadow Heights - are applying for bail in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court.

Co-accused Abdirahman Mohamud Ahmed, 25, from Preston, is expected to apply for bail at a later date. Another co-accused, Wissmam Mahmoud Fattal, 33, who thinks prison is like an "eight-star hotel", did not apply for bail.

Translations of secretly recorded telephone conversations involving the accused were read to the court by federal agent Chris Salmon.

Agent Salmon said Fattal was the central figure in the plot and was already in prison over an assault at a Preston mosque.

"I would like to strike big if it's Halal (permissible under Islamic law)," El Sayed told Fattal on April 7.

During a prison visit on May 3, Fattal and El Sayed discussed Fattal applying for bail, the court was told.

"We are working together on a great, monstrous thing," Fattal told El Sayed.

"We need to persevere.

"There is no point coming out. If the work is ready I will come out."

In another conversation on July 10, Aweys confided in Somali Sheik Abdirahman about accessing guns for their plan.

"Their desire is to fan out as much as possible until they would be hit," Aweys told the sheik.

"Twenty minutes is enough for us to take out five, six, 10, eight."

Aweys asked the sheik if the plot was permissible. Noting there could be horrific consequences, the sheik raised the idea of a mass exodus of Muslims, with those left behind to "carry out the activity".

All of the five accused are charged with conspiring to attack the Holsworthy base. Aweys is also accused of abetting Walid Osman Mohamed to engage in a hostile act in Somalia.

On July 25, the pair was engaged in a telephone conversation, in which Aweys confirmed he had sent money to Mohamed, the court was told.

From Somalia, Mohamed told Aweys he planned to hold a PKM heavy machine gun in the frontline.

"Holding this and being the target at the front is the closest thing to martyrdom," he said.

Khayre was tasked by El Sayed to travel to Somalia to obtain a fatwa to authorise a terrorist attack in Australia.

He left on April 13 and, having obtained a fatwa, returned to Australia on July 14.

Agent Salmon said each defendant has indicated a willingness to leave Australia to go to Somalia to fight.

When asked by El Sayed's lawyer, Julian McMahon, if he tipped off The Australian newspaper about the investigation, agent Salmon said he did not.

Asked if he knew who was responsible for the leak, agent Salmon said he wanted to seek advice from legal counsel before answering that question.

The hearing before Magistrate Peter Reardon was subject to tight security, including weapon detectors and armed officers.

The hearing continues on Tuesday.

Security guards paid for passes

By Byron Kaye
The Daily Telegraph
August 25, 2009 12:29AM

THEY might have had no English and no experience - but for $300 students at the state's biggest security training school allegedly walked away qualified in just one day.

Meanwhile their "trainers" - whose jobs amounted to little more than marking exam papers for which the answers had already been supplied - earned huge sums.

That was the damning picture of Roger Training Academy, which churned out a quarter of the state's accredited security guards until it was shut down in March, presented to the ICAC yesterday.

The commission heard the western Sydney college gave students answers to exam questions in advance, issued first aid certificates without training and faked resumes. It allegedly had its staff write out students' exam answers for qualifications that included gun handling, basic English, and conflict negotiation.

Students were charged between $300 and $500 for the same-day service - payable in cash only.

"Toward the end there were a lot of students who were walking in, who I didn't know from a bar of soap, who were just writing out the (supplied) answers," a trainer, Dru Hyland, told the commission. "It was definitely dishonest, Your Honour."

Mr Hyland agreed the practice amounted to corruption but said he was under pressure from the company's principal, Ahmed Mossani, and the students themselves.

Recorded telephone calls showed Mr Hyland less remorseful.

He told a friend he made $150,000 in five months - equivalent to a senior parliamentarian or CEO.

He enjoyed his newfound riches, telling the friend he used the cash for a holiday in Vanuatu, had splashed out cash on a new motorbike, four-wheel drive and another new car for his wife and set up his own business.

"I've had the money to do stuff I've been trying to do for so long," he said. "I've now got an opportunity to earn a great whack in a short period of time."

He denied the $150,000 figure - saying it was closer to $90,000 - explaining he had a "slapstick" relationship with the friend and he was exaggerating.

The commission heard more than $1.3 million was deposited into Mr Mossani's bank accounts between August 2007 and April 2009.

Counsel assisting, Carolyn Davenport SC, said: "Subverting the correct assessment process created an opportunity for persons at Roger to make large sums of money."

Mr Mossani is expected to give evidence later this week.

The inquiry continues today.

Speeding Leb rev head claims Police are racists for arresting him

 

Highway speed police were racists, says caught driver

By Janet Fife-Yeomans
The Daily Telegraph
August 25, 2009 12:00AM

NO One denies that when highway patrol officers chased an allegedly speeding driver they manhandled him from his car and threw him to the ground. But Jamal Ejaidi  claims it was because he was Lebanese.

The arresting officers say different. Senior Constable Brett Rossiter said he treated Ejaidi the same as he treated nine out of 10 drivers after a chase and denied he was being violent or racist.

Graphic vision captured by the highway patrol car camera was played in Bankstown Local Court yesterday showing Ejaidi being dragged from his car and then out of sight of the camera.

Defending the way he acted, Constable Rossiter said he needed to take control of the situation for his safety and the safety of other officers.

But Ejaidi's lawyer Greg Walsh said: "Without even asking them to produce their licence? You resort to violence?"

It is alleged that Ejaidi was stopped after a police pursuit which lasted just 30 seconds through Punchbowl on October 16 last year.

Ejaidi, 22, of Riverwood has pleaded not guilty to driving his rotary-charged Mazda RX8 in a dangerous manner and not stopping when directed to. Mr Walsh told the court the arrest should have not only been captured on camera, but recorded for sound to safeguard the police as well as the alleged offender.

But Constable Rossiter said he did not take the microphone out of the patrol car with him. "I forgot," he said.

The police allege that they followed Ejaidi in his green Mazda which was driving erratically in company with a red Nissan Pulsar SSS. When they pulled the Nissan over, Ejaidi sped past doing up to 100km/h in a 50km/h zone.

With sirens and lights, the police gave chase and Ejaidi stopped in Punchbowl Rd.

Constable Rossiter said: "We got him down on the ground. My knees were then on his back to restrain him on the ground while I brought his arms around to handcuff him."

Constable Rossiter and his partner Senior Constable Aaron Sheldrick denied deliberately moving Ejaidi out of sight of the police camera.

The court was told Ejaidi has made an official complaint to Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione about the behaviour of the two officers, alleging he was assaulted.

Both officers denied a suggestion by Mr Walsh that they swore at Ejaidi, telling him "f . . . ing smart-arse Lebbo. You're f . . . . d".

Mr Walsh told the court that six months later, Constable Sheldrick pulled Ejaidi over again.

He gave Ejaidi a defect notice and then asked him what Mr Walsh was charging for his defence, it was alleged.

Mr Walsh said that Constable Sheldrick then asked Ejaidi to go to McDonald's with him for a coffee to "sort this out".

The accusation was not put to Constable Sheldrick yesterday before the court adjourned.

It would be great if the officers concerned did in fact use the words “"f . . . ing smart-arse Lebbo. You're f . . . . d". It would indicate a willingness on the part of at least one or two NSW Police officers to speak the language of the buyer.

Ask any Australian’s unfortunate enough to still be living inside Sydney’s Occupied Territories, what it’s like driving on the roads with these arse clowns displaying their macho cultural diversity via their girly man cars, breaking every traffic law written and been totally untouchable by the NSW Police.
