Australia’s Dear Leader writes Children’s Book

 

Kevin Rudd writes book for kids

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has written a children's book.

Described by his staff as "more secretive than the Budget", the kiddies' adventure story about the PM's cat and dog will be published this month.

Part of “Team Rudd’s” bed time story tellers,(l to r) Liar for Hire,Al Gore,Deputy PM,Madame Julia Gillard,Token Green Loon,Peter Garrett,Minister for the weather aka.Climate Change and token Asian Lesbian,Madame Wong and Australia’s Dear Leader,Comrade Kevin 07 Rudd.

A year after being both praised and panned for penning a 10,000-word essay on the decline of capitalism in the wake of the global financial crisis, Mr Rudd has decided to aim for a younger, possibly less critical, market.

Titled Jasper and Abby and the Great Australia Day Kerfuffle,the book follows dog Abby and cat Jasper in an adventure in the grounds of Kirribilli House.

Known for his great love of his animals, Mr Rudd yesterday revealed his plans to go into print for charity, co-authoring a children's book with former Play School presenter and actor Rhys Muldoon.

"I've worked on the text with Rhys and we've both interviewed the cat and the dog. They have been very co-operative in their responses but, for most of the time, have gone off the record," he said.

"It has not been the most demanding text I have worked on."

Without revealing the plot, The Sunday Telegraph understands Jasper's high-maintenance character plays a significant role.

Australia’s Dear Leader ,Comrade Rudd,has finally found an audience he feels understands him.

Australian’s make their feelings known with letters to the Daily Telegraph see below.

Remember the MSM Opinion Polls tell us that Rudd will walk in at the next federal election,to be held sometime in late 2010.

Thanks for voting!

"I've worked on the text with Rhys and we've both interviewed the cat and the dog. They have been very co-operative in their responses but, for most of the time, have gone off the record," he said.

    One would think his time would be better spent trying to run this country when he is here of course. Instead of writing fairy tales. Then again I think he thinks he lives in fairy land. but on the other hand he got his mug in the papers yet again

    Oh, come on Kevin. As if it isn't awful enough to see you every second day sitting on a kindy chair pretending to read to kindy kids for the news cameras, now you have pretended (with a co-author)to write a book about your pets for those same kindy kids. (The way you were holding that cat wasn't a good look, btw. Puss seemed desperate to get away, and your smile suggests the claws were dug into somewhere painful in your lap.)

    Must be losing popularity with mums, so he gets someone else to write a book for him that he can plug on sunrise. any danger of getting on with solving real problems? We dont need a sensitive new age dork, we need a prime minister with balls.

Mick of NW Sydney Posted at 1:11 AM Today

    Now it makes sense...Rudd's address on behalf of Australia to the world and its leaders at Copenhagen, where he quoted letters from Australian children, on his mantra that climate change was the most important issue facing us and our children...was that speech a publicity stunt?, pre book tour marketing for his target demographic?, or prepping his image prior to this book release? Recently, didn't the PM fail to attend a meeting on free trade / book tariffs, with the official reason given that his daughter was writing a book and it would be a conflict of interest in attending / involvement? So was the 'official' story the truth or was it really that Rudd knew his book would be coming out shortly - in which case another little lie - like the three accounts that dribbled out over the Brian Bourke affair in early 2007 - with each account being the 'full story' upon issue. Good to see the ALP tradition of close liaison with celebrities from the arts community as we enter a election year (but no Cate in recent times?) and obviously when Rudd goes on about working harder than ever, due to the numerous 'crises' we have, we have a better idea about what he has spent some time on.

    Well, if there is one thing Rudd should be tops at it's telling fairytales. His imagination and story telling have far out paced his real achievements since he became Prime Minister. I can hardly wait for the book where the big, mean, power hungry king of the north destroys a country for his own ego. Maybe he should get into poetry - something like, "My name is Kevin and I like to tax and if your not careful I have the shirt off your backs'.

Torpedo 1 of East Coast Posted at 4:36 AM Today

    You have to be kidding. This explains Mr Rudd's view of Australians in general - kiddies who will believe any fairytale story. To think some great, and some not so great politicians have written in-depth, although ballast heavy, autobiography's. And what do we see from Super K - a story about a dog and a pussy. What's it going to be called, this inspiring work of fiction, '2010 Labor Policy'.

    Another gimmick and photo opportunity by Kevin Rudd. It is a shame he doesn't put the same effort into providing good government for the people of Australia as he does in getting his photo in the media. Never in the countrys history have we had a prime minister who has delivered so little yet manages to use the media in such a high profile manner. Everthing this PM does is all about self promotion, lacks substance and is all spin and designed to raise his personal public profile. This PM has an addiction for receiving publicity and photo opportunities. After two years his albumn must full and it is time to deliver for the people of Australia on the numerous broken and yet to be delivered promised made during the 2007 election campaign.

    whilst i strongly believe in children reading books and encouraging authors of childrens books,is Mr Rudd mad or going mad?He elads a government whch has not delivered on a single election promise tried to inflict a whole new tax on Australians without even detailing how it would work or what it wold cost,is hardly ever in the country and is incapable of making a single policy decision and he is now turning his attention to co authoring a childrens book.I am sorry but those of you who voted for this man as PM and Labor have been cheated and lied to by him and his great expectations of hope.Now its a kids book about a dog and cat,wonder if he says sorry to them in it?

    Seriously, what the hell is this?!! Someone should tell Rudd that PM stands for "Prime Minister", not "Popular Man." I am tired of soft media reports on this idiot. His PR machine is desperate to hide Rudd's failures. Perhaps he should write a children's book that begins with "Once upon a time, far far away in a place called Copenhagen...." Now what a fairy tale that would be.

    Sorry Kev, ol' mate, ol' buddy, ol' cobber, ol' pal, this is NOT going to do it for you. There's an old saying, "When people show you who they REALLY are, believe them". I believe you "mate". Appealing to our kids with what a kind, friendly, thoughtful fellow you are, isn't going to make all the rest go away. Anyhow, five year olds don't get to vote - I DO, and unlike most Labor/Socialists with the attention-span of children, I know who and what you are. A cynical grab for the warm and fuzzies won't do it for you - "pal".

    What next - I can't believe Rudd has now stooped to using his dog and cat to further his career. I would have thought that he would have enough to do. I also believe Rhys Muldoon probably wrote the thing but of course due to Rudd form he will take the kudos. I wouldn't let my kids near anything written by Rudd. I suppose when you are such a boring character you are left with only your dog and cat (probably yawning) to talk to !!! Boadica

    What a fantastic initiative Mr. Rudd, and for charity too. I can't wait to see the story-line. Is the pussy's litter tray full of shredded paper? Does the pussy and the doggy know that the future for their little four-legged friends looks bleak when their owners can no longer afford to feed them and they have to scrounge for scraps? Do they realise that as they exhale Co2 and fart methane they will attract a Carbon Tax? This will change the weather so that's good eh? Not to worry, because as their "daddy" is the Engineer on the Gravy Train, they'll never want for a roof over their heads. Great idea Kev!

    After failing at Copenhagen and then being laughed of the world stage for proposing to single handedly save the world from a nuclear holocaust a book about a puppy and a pussy seems to be a viable next option. One hopes Rhys Muldoon can also be employed to tone down the verbiage level of KRudds political speeches which few who voted for him have the mental acuity to comprehend.

Kevin, please do this very quickly before you go for a double dissolution. Kevin I will give you some bed time reading, some of my Aesop’s Fables so that you may learn, go to youtube look up ETS do we realy need it or go to www.scienceandpublicpolicy.org or importantly go to ttp://sesfoundation.org/dalton_minimum.pdf and see the real world facts on earths temperature over the next 20-30 years.

    I read with disgust this article. Rudd's written a children's book - wow! Peter Spencer is on day 42 of a hunger strike which is growing more likely to end in his death. Rudd and family are off soon on a holiday to Tassie and peter Spencer is on day 42 of a hunger strike. A hunger strike that Rudd that great and public Christian often photographed outside churces, could end by getting up there beside Peter Spencer and promising to sort out the issues which have driven Peter to such drastic action. When I look at the photo of Rudd with his hands around the cat's throat, looking for all the world like a big Jessie, and I consider the photos I have seen of Peter Spencer it is clear to me who the more honourable gentleman is. Peter is practising passive resistance involving self sacrifice a form of action recommended by that great man Mahatma Ghandi. Rudd is practising self preservation - and not doing well at all at that. Prime Minister Rudd and ALL politicians who are ignoring what Peter Spencer is should hang their heads in shame, if any of them remember what real shame is.

    Does this guy care at all about Australia or its future? Apparently not. Mr Rudd is a self-serving, conceited individual who only cares about the inane. How about writing a plan for the future of this country, Mr Rudd, or better still, sitting down and systematically working through the current problems this country faces now before it’s too late? Too busy to explain a proposed tax wrapped up as an “environmental solution” to Australians yet he has got all the time in the world to explain a story to the innocent and less critical minds of 5 year olds! Unbelievable!!! This guy’s narcissism has no bounds. On the other hand, should we expect anymore from Mr Rudd given his performance as PM already? Mr Rudd must be voted out in 2010!!

Happy to be Here of Up North Posted at 9:58 AM Today

    I hope it's a good one. We might finally find something he is good at. Running the country certainly doesn't seem to be it. Perhaps if he actually spent some time here and actually DID something rather than just talk all the time ..... on the other hand, he's screwed this country enough by doing nothing - I shudder to think how bad it could get if he finally got the balls to make a real decision and do something.

Goodbye Rudd of Central Coast Posted at 10:00 AM Today

    Maybe he should have spent his time explaining the real cost of his ETS to the Australian public instead of writing this. I guess his characters will have a labor spin on them, let's not wait till the kids go to school to be brainwashed by left wing teachers, let's get them earlier. What a fool we have as our Prime Minister.

    What is he doing writing a kids' book? Doesn't he realize that he needs to be IN Australia running the country? He seems to prioritize self promotion over ALL else. If he was doing this after he left politics, fair enough, but this man should be working full time as a prime minister. It is clear from the implementation of all his policies thus far, that there is an appalling disregard for the practical detail that make things a success. This guy is shameless.

It is to be hoped that he will be more adult in his creative efforts aimed at children than the childish efforts he has deployed toward the adult market with his ill thought out big taxing schemes disguised as concern for a dubious climate change.

    At the time of me writing this, there were 79 comments. I don't think I've ever read through 79 comments so quickly. They are all IDENTICAL comments. Can't we have a bit of variety DT, instead of the same old drivel? I must say, I have never laughed so hard at Chris Nelson of Ryde 1:56am comment. Please enlighten me as to what you were tryng to say! Maaate, before you go bagging out someone for writing a kids book, maybe you should look at getting an education yourself. Your comment made absolutely NO sense whatsoever. As for everyone else here, I think it would be the funniest thing out if Rudd got re-elected. You'd all self destruct! The sad reality is, after the next election, whoever gets in, these pages will be chock full of whingers going on about how pathetic our govt is, and bring on an early election, blah blah blah. Same old drivel. Oh, and as for Kev writing a book, I'm writing a book too. I write when I hop into bed of a night before I go to sleep. Even the Big K is entitled to that amount of personal time. If he's not even allowed to get into bed, what hope have we got. Shame I wasted my time writing this, Chris of Ryde won't get to see my message.

Danish Police shoot Muslim Assassin, sent to kill Kurt Westergaard.

 

Danish cops shoot man at cartoonist's home

From correspondents in Copenhagen
Daily Telegraph
January 02, 2010

DANISH police shot and wounded a man who tried to enter the home of Kurt Westergaard, who drew controversial cartoons of Islam's Prophet Mohammed, Danish security sources said.

The security sources said the man was close to radical Somali Islamists.

One of the Cartoons that members of the “Religion of Peace” aka.Islam,demand,cartoonist Kurt Westergaard,be assassinated for creating. 

Assassin

The Danish cartoonist, who has received several death threats since a Danish newspaper four years ago published his drawing featuring Mohammed wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb, was at home in Viby near the western city of Aarhus when the 27-year-old and two others tried to get in, daily Politiken reported online.

Guards repulsed the three intruders as security alarms were set off.

The wounded man was hospitalised.

Denmark's Ritzau news agency said a dozen police vehicles were at the scene while sappers were sent in to look for a bomb that may have been laid.

Contacted by AFP, Jutland police confirmed an incident near the home of the 74-year-old cartoonist but refused to give details pending the release of a statement later.

Westergaard is one of 12 cartoonists whose drawings of the Muslim prophet were first published in Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in September 2005, sparking controversy among Muslims worldwide.

The 12 cartoons were considered offensive by many Muslims and their publication sparked violent protests worldwide in January and February 2006.

Demonstrators burned Danish flags in protests that culminated in February 2006 with the torching of Danish diplomatic offices in Damascus and Beirut and dozens of deaths in Nigeria, Libya and Pakistan.

Bali:New Years Eve Terror threat

 

Bali New Year terrorist attack warning

Xanthe Kleinig and wires
Daily Telegraph
December 31, 2009

THE US embassy in Indonesia on Thursday said it had received warning of a New Year terrorist attack from the governor of the resort island of Bali, the scene of multiple bombings targeting Westerners.

"There is an indication of an attack to Bali tonight," it said in a statement to US citizens carried on its website, quoting a message from Governor Mangku Pastika.

The embassy said the Bali Tourism Board had widely distributed the governor's message, which added: "Please don't panic, but put your security system to full alert."

The embassy said the message had been "shared verbatim for your information" but added that standard consular safety and security recommendations "remain valid".

Holidaymakers in Bali were on  high alert last night after warnings of a New Year's Eve terror attack.

Indonesian woman Annie Made told the Daily Telegraph last night that police were everywhere in Bali's tourist district.

"All the streets are blocked off, and the hotels. The cars can't come into Legian,'' she said.

"There are police everywhere.''

She said staff at the Bali Aussie Bar and Restaurant in Kuta was preparing for a busy evening with tourists and locals.

"There are police everywhere looking after Bali. We are all okay, we hope nothing happen tonight,'' she said.

"Happy New Year.''

A DFAT spokeswoman said the Balinese Governor, Mangku Pastika had issued a statement  of a possible terrorist attack.

"We understand this is a general warning.  Indonesian security forces are on heightened alert this holiday season, as has been the case  in past years,'' she said.

"Our travel advice for Indonesia has for some time advised Australians to "reconsider your need to travel to Indonesia, including Bali, at this time due to the very high threat of terrorist attack".''

These remind US citizens that Indonesia has been targeted by "violent elements" repeatedly since the Bali bombings of 2002 that killed 202 people, mainly foreign tourists including 88 Australians.

The embassy advises citizens to keep a "low profile" and be "vigilant and prudent at all times".

"US citizens must consider the security and safety preparedness of hotels, residences, restaurants, and entertainment or recreation venues that they frequent," it says.

Police said 7,000 security personnel including US-trained counter-terrorism units were being deployed around bars and nightclubs on Bali as the island prepared to celebrate the New Year.

Australians poised to buy up Florida foreclosed homes

 

Aussie property obsession extends to foreclosed Florida homes

ABC

A move by a major Florida county to auction foreclosed homes online has attracted potential buyers from Australia and New Zealand.

Florida's Miami-Dade County will start using the internet next month in a bid to help auction off tens of thousands of delinquent properties that have put it on the frontlines of the US foreclosure crisis.

The first auction on the website, www.miamidade.realforeclose.com, is scheduled for January 11 and will make Miami-Dade the largest of 12 Florida counties that are in the process of replacing courthouse auctions with online sales.

Lloyd McClendon, chief executive of RealAuction.com LLC, which has contracts to run the computer-based auctions across Florida, said the state is the first in the country to adopt the system allowing bidders to make offers from their home.

Mr McClendon said about 1,450 bidders had registered for Miami-Dade's online foreclosure auctions so far. Some are potential foreign-based buyers.

"We have had an increase in foreign bidders and, for some reason, especially in Australia or New Zealand," he said.

Florida had the highest rate of U.S. homes either in foreclosure or delinquent on mortgage payments throughout most of the last year, putting it at the centre of a crisis that has devastated families and communities across the United States.

The laws of most states require that property auctions take place "on the courthouse steps," Mr McClendon told

Reuters, saying Florida changed its statutes in 2008 and that he hoped California, among others, would follow soon.

Harvey Ruvin, the clerk of courts for Miami-Dade, said he hoped to see the online system increase foreclosed properties sales to about 2,000 a week from a current county-wide total of about 450.

"This is a win-win in every way and it couldn't come at a better time," Mr Ruvin told Reuters, saying Miami-Dade currently had a backlog of about 115,000 open foreclosure files.

"It is my whole approach in this office to use technology wherever I can, to serve more and more of our customers online rather than in line," he added.

"This results in tremendous savings, tremendous efficiencies all the way around.

"It's better for bidders, more convenient, you now can place a bid from anywhere and I think that will broaden the base of bidders actually to a global level rather than just to those that could make it down to a physical or courtroom sale."

I have had personal experience with the US property down turn.

I can honestly say without hesitation, that if you are an Australian looking for a quality Planed Residential Development,PRD,you will find it in Florida, USA.

My personal experience is limited to Fort Lauderdale on the East Coast and Fort Myers on the West Coast of Florida,I lived in a PRD,in Fort Myers for three months in 2008,at Botanica Lakes,it was a first class development (having said that there are even better ones to be had depending upon the thickness of your wallet) even though only partially completed during my residence there.Fort Lauderdale, East Coast,I was there for around 8 weeks in 2007,and it was nice,Its like been on the set of Miami CSI,or whatever its called,however I think it would be more expensive to buy into than Fort Myers, however check it out and compare, I liked the buzz there once I got to the end of East Sunrise Blvd and started heading south to South Beach 

Fort Myers reminded me of life in Sydney Australia 20 years ago.Polite,courteous,civil, hard working, friendly people,who take pride in their environment and surroundings.

One of my fondest memories was my 5 hour (return)walk along Tree Line Av. in search of the Florida Panther,I did see some, near the Airport, but I was on the wrong (right side of the road? I forget) to take a picture of them.

Fort Myers is a very beautiful place, nice beaches,not as good as say,the Northern Beaches of Sydney,but very nice none the less.

If Sydney,Australia was blown up today I would hope I could be washed up on the beaches of Fort Myers USA, alive,and into the arms of a certain Fort Myers resident.

Fort Myers is, based upon my experience living there, a very laid back comfortable place to live in.

If any Australians reading this are cashed up enough to swoop up some real estate bargains,my advice would be to go for it, but CHECK IT OUT 100% BEFORE You put pen to paper,you know, just like you would if you were buying a property in Australia.

'Honour killing': father beat daughter in face with club

SMH
December 30, 2009 - 6:25AM

A 50-year-old Turkish man was jailed for life in Germany on Tuesday over the brutal "honour killing" of his 20-year-old daughter, a murder carried out together with the victim's twin brother.

Gulsum Semin's brother was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years behind bars, while a 32-year-old Russian accomplice was given seven-and-a-half years by the court in Kleve, western Germany, a spokeswoman said.

The young woman, who had recently had an abortion, was lured to a patch of wasteland on March 2 where her brother and the accomplice strangled her with a cord and beat her in the face with a club and a tree branch, the court found.

The father, who was not named, was found to be the main instigator.

Strange “Religion” this Islam, the more vile and despicable a followers behaviour the more Honourable and closer to this “allah” they become.

I guess when your “prophet” was a Paedophile Slave Trading Head Hunter its understandable.

Labor Party fundraiser Robert Paul McJannett arrested in Bali on Drug charges

 

CFMEU official Robert Paul McJannett on Bali drug charges

By Cindy Wockner and Komang Suriadi in Bali and Janet Fife-Yeomans in Sydney
The Daily Telegraph
December 30, 2009

Robert Paul McJannett is taken away by an Indonesian policeman after being arrested for drugs at a Bali airport.

  Surely this is all a big mistake? An Australian Labor Party fundraiser,and Unionist accused of possession and importing  DRUGS in Bali? For God’s sake man say it ain’t so!!!! one of the custodeons of Australia’s Moral Compass a member of the Australian Council of Trade Unions,ACTU,accused of such a crime? Please someone tell me I have awoken after too much Christmas cheer and am befuddled and confused? No?

I am sure Comrade Kevin 07 Rudd and the Australian Labor Party will be able to sort out this obvious mistake made here by the Bali Police and this good servant of the ALP and the CFMEU will be able to continue on with his holiday unhindered by any further mistakes been made by the authorities.

AN Australian union leader faces a lengthy stint in an Indonesian jail after allegedly trying to smuggle just 2g of marijuana hidden in a sock into Bali.

CFMEU official Robert Paul McJannett was arrested early yesterday at Bali's airport and is now in custody at the holiday island's police headquarters, being interrogated about the drugs found in his luggage.

The marijuana was allegedly in a plastic ziplock bag hidden in a sock along with sachets of coffee. Coffee is used to disguise the smell of drugs.

McJannett may be sent to Kerobokan jail, where Schapelle Corby, who was arrested in similar circumstances, and the heroin gang dubbed the Bali Nine, are held.

As he was transferred in handcuffs from the airport Customs office to the police station yesterday, McJannett, 48, asked why the "paparazzi" were photographing him.

McJannett, a Perth crane operator who this year challenged for leadership of the West Australian branch of the CFMEU, arrived in Bali with his 21-year-old son on Virgin flight 4172 about 11.30pm on Monday.

The pair had planned a five-day holiday in the popular resort island.

But when Customs officers searched McJannett's suitcase they allegedly found the 2g of marijuana.

Bagus Endro, the head of Customs investigations at Ngurah Rai airport, said an X-ray of McJannett's suitcase had raised suspicions because the tin foil had shown up.

Mr Endro said that when McJannett was initially approached he had refused to open the small bag containing the drugs.

He allegedly later claimed a business partner may have wanted to trap him.

The Customs official said McJannett had initially refused a urine test and had made a failed attempt to throw the drug into a drain in the detention room.

Under Indonesia's harsh drug laws, McJannett is likely to face charges of possession and importing drugs, which carry a sentence of up to 10 years behind bars.

He is the latest in a long line of Australians who have found themselves on the wrong side of Indonesia's drug regime after being arrested on Bali.

Former Gold Coast beauty therapy student Schapelle Corby is serving a 20-year sentence after being arrested with 4.1kg of marijuana in her luggage as she came into Bali.

Three members of the Bali Nine are currently on death row for their roles in an 8.2kg heroin haul.

Other Australian tourists arrested with small amounts of drugs while holidaying in Bali have served terms of up to six months for drug possession.

Could this be Schapelle Corby’s revenge upon the ACTU?

Were the drugs his or his son’s and is he just taking the fall ?

Either way there are, unless Beijing’s man on the ground in Australia, and the ACTU’s #1 member,Australian PM  Kevin 07 Rudd, can make a few phone calls to his new best friends in Indonesia,many tears before bed time to be shed by Robert Paul McJannett and his Family and his fellow ALP /ACTU Comrades before this “arrest mistake” is sorted out.

Good Luck Bob you are gonna NEED IT.

Contempt detonates Aussie-Arabic future

Piers Akerman
Daily Telegraph
Monday, December 28, 09

WITH uncanny timing, The Sydney Morning Herald has gone in to bat for Keysar Trad, long-time sidekick of Lakemba’s notorious Muslim cleric Sheik Taj Din al-Hilaly, as a Nigerian would-be suicide bomber was dragged from a US plane after unsuccessfully trying to blow it from the skies.

This is not to suggest that Trad or al-Hilaly were aware of the plot to bring down Northwest Airlines Amsterdam-Detroit flight, but rather that SMH writer David Marr overlooks salient points in his attempt to demonise 2GB broadcaster Alan Jones, who last week lost a minor defamation suit Trad brought against him and the station.

The Administrative Decisions Tribunal of NSW fined Jones and 2GB $10,000 and ordered them to frame an apology acceptable to Trad for remarks the broadcaster made in the lead-up to the Cronulla riots of 2005.

Marr does mention “appalling pronouncements” by Muslim cleric Sheik Faiz Mohamad in Bankstown in 2005, when he disgustingly declared that women who were raped had no one but themselves to blame, saying: “She displayed her beauty to the entire world. She degraded herself by being an object of sexual desire and thus becoming vulnerable to man, who looks at her for gratification of his sexual urge.”

Maybe the above video featuring the behaviour of these Lebanese youths, that Jones has been fined $10,000 for daring to object to, their “Multicultural” behaviour, should have been shown to the Labor Party’s Star Chamber.

He does not mention that Jones, broadcasting immediately prior to the Cronulla riots, was clearly aware of incidents at the beach where young Lebanese Muslim men made grossly offensive remarks to local girls and women, when he spoke. The tribunal seems to have ignored the same detail, finding that Jones’s talkback show “implied a partiality for a vigilante solution to the problem” and “could only be regarded as an incitement to listeners to hate and hold the Lebanese Muslim community and Lebanese males in serious contempt”.

In this, I believe the tribunal has taken a particularly narrow view of the evidence and ignored the big picture that actually unfolded on Cronulla beach, with little need of any incitement from Jones or anyone else.

Marr clearly revels in reviling Jones, whom he calls a “shock jock”. There also seems to be a strong streak of envy in his report, as he notes that the fine would amount to “a good deal less than a day’s pay” for the broadcaster.

As for the tribunal, it seems to run along much the same lines as the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board, where Trad’s lawyer Adam Houda once took the opportunity to ask me whether I was Jewish - in the hope, perhaps, that my response would help him understand why I oppose terrorism and suicide bombers who target civilians.

Trad’s victory comes in the wake of the convictions of a dozen people in Australia on terrorism charges. All of them, coincidentally, were Muslim.

Among them was former Qantas cabin cleaner Belal Saadallah Khazaal, who complied a 110-page book titled Provisions of the Rules of Jihad, published online in Arabic as a “practical guide to achieving martyrdom”.

It advised on how to make bombs, shoot down aircraft and assassinate world figures, “within the countries identified as enemies of Islam”, Justice Megan Latham said during sentencing in the NSW Supreme Court. His lawyer, Houda, has said his client, who claims the how-to-be-a-martyr book is really just a religious text, will appeal. Again, this is not to single out Muslims as the principal providers of terrorists internationally. It just happens this more recent of the world’s great religions seems more so than others to find more people who find words that inspire them to suicide in a manner that will inflict gross collateral damage.

Trad has said he wishes to donate the sum he will receive to a Muslim women’s charity. A noble idea, given honour maimings and killings seem to have lingered longer in the Islamic community than most others and many Muslim women in Western nations claim they feel pressured by some in their communities to adopt various items of religious garb or suffer the consequences.

In his haste to accept the tribunal’s view of Trad as a victim, Marr overlooks his contributions to Nida’ul Islam magazine a decade ago when he said Australians were “the criminal dregs of white society [who] colonised this country, and now they only take the select choice of other societies, and the descendants of these criminal dregs tell us they are better than us. And because we are not elitists, we tolerate them.

“Yet they want us to assimilate, perhaps they will only become satisfied when we each die our hair red, wear blue/green contact lenses, and operate a fish and chips shop, otherwise, we would not be truly assimilating, would we?”

Jokes aside, assimilation may not be a bad idea if our Muslim population wants to shake off the image of dole-bludging reinforced by a nearly 50 per cent unemployment rate in some Islamic areas of Western Sydney.

Since European settlement, Australia has peaceably absorbed diverse groups from almost every culture within a generation or so. The Muslim population is young and should be the source of great vitality.

Pandering by bodies such as this tribunal to those like Trad, who represent the stereotypes, hinders the ability of Muslims to contribute to the nation.

The Lefts alliance with Islamic Sociopaths Inc.is a world wide alliance, it is an alliance forged with the sharing of an equal hatred and commitment to destroy Judeo Christian Democracy’s.

Boat carrying 30 suspected asylum seekers intercepted off Australia's north coast

Daily Telegraph
December 29, 2009 4:33PM

YET another boat carrying suspected asylum seekers has been intercepted off Australia's north coast, making it the 60th arrival this year.

The stationary vessel was spotted sometime before 7.30am today about 140 nautical miles (260 kilometres) north of Gove, in the Northern Territory, Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor said in a statement this afternoon.
When Border Protection Command crew went to the boat, the passengers said they wished to come to Australia.

The 30 passengers and three crew members will be taken to Christmas Island to be processed.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has lost control of Australia's borders, allowing people smugglers to access the nation via Indonesia.
Mr Abbott said that not only was there a steady flow of boats, but Mr Rudd had also expanded the means of getting into Australia.

"It's not just that you get to Christmas Island and you get to Australia, it now seems that if you get to Indonesia you also get to Australia, because of the deal that Mr Rudd did with the people on the Oceanic Viking,'' Mr Abbott said.
"Mr Rudd has completely lost control of Australia's borders."
A group of 78 Sri Lankans on board the Australian customs ship, were picked up in Indonesia's search and rescue zone in October and taken to Bintan Island.
They eventually accepted a deal from the Rudd government for the speedy processing of their asylum claims while they remained in Indonesia.

Mr Abbott said Mr Rudd also needed to come clean about any promises he made with the Indonesian government about a group of  250 ethnic Tamils at Merak, who have spent 11 weeks refusing to leave their boat after being intercepted off Indonesia in October.

The saga, which pre-dates the standoff on the Oceanic Viking further north, was triggered when Mr Rudd phoned the Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and pleading for the vessel to be intercepted before it reached Australia.

Ever since, the Sri Lankans have refused to disembark, staging a brief hunger strike and threatening to torch their boat to draw attention to their plight.

One man on the boat, identified by Indonesian authorities as Jacob Samuel Christian, 29, died last Wednesday in hospital.

More proof that Beijing’s man on the ground in Australia, Australian PM, Comrade “Kevin 07” Rudd's border protection policies are working, with the arrival and escorting of yet another illegal 'refugee' boat,the 60th this year, been escorted to Australian soil by our Navy to commence their new life in Australia.
Rudd's re colonization of Australia via his party's by passing our immigration laws, combined with their divide and conquer policy of Multiculturalism will reap the havoc and social dislocation they have already have and are intended to do.

Bring on the Treason Trials.

It is indeed time Comrade Rudd came clean with the Australian people,now, whilst public execution for his and his party’s crimes against us is not yet on the table.

Comrade Rudd’s Australia, Labor’s Open Borders Policy IS working.

The West’s fantasy with “Good Islamic Sociopath” V’s “Bad Islamic Sociopath”

The present situation in Iran is indeed a crime against humanity.

Unfortunately those protesting (rightfully so)the present Islamic regime, can only expect an equally Islamic Sociopathic regime to replace the Islamic nut jobs presently in control of the Islamic Dictatorship that they are protesting against and demanding be replaced, however they simply want to replace it with THEIR gang of Islamic Sociopaths Inc.

The Iranian (Middle East)slave master is ISLAM.
What the west needs to understand is,that no matter who turns the keys to the Iranian's physical and mental leg irons,ISLAM will still be the slave master and keeper of those keys.

The problem is ISLAM and its co-conspirator's against mankind,the United Nations,International Socialism,Communism and the Environmental / Peace Movement.

Until the "West" (Judeo Christian Democracies) i.e..its citizens,get it through their collective thick skull’s,as to who the enemies of mankind are, and stop believing that there is such a Master as a "good Islamic / Socialist / Communist UN sponsored Sociopath's and Terrorists" and  that there are "bad Islamic / Socialist / Communist, UN sponsored Sociopath's and Terrorists" the west will continue to descend into the Godless cesspool it's policies of appeasement and political correctness have so far led it into and made it a even bigger and more vulnerable target than they already are.

Anyone in the “west” who believes that those in Iran protesting for the fall of their evil Satanic masters as I write,will, if successful in their protest,upon the day of the manifestation of that success, suddenly,recant and change the direction of,and Islamic objectives of Iran is kidding themselves, these people are MUSLIMS,followers of the ideology of Islam,founded by a 7th century Slave Trading Paedophile, that is the measure of their moral compass….. they swear allegiance to the syphilitic induced Satanic ramblings of a self confessed, boastful, slave trading head hunting Paedophile.

Islam IS what Islam / MUSLIMS do.

According to MUSLIMS there is no such thing as MODERATE ISLAM

CHRISTmas in Iraq 2009, under the DEAD hand of Islam.

 

Christians mark Christmas under threat
Daily Telegraph
by Mujahid Mohammed
From: AFP
December 24, 2009 10:37PM

IRAQ'S dwindling Christian population has little to celebrate this Christmas after a spate of attacks against their community included several being killed and the army being put on alert.

In the main northern city of Mosul, where the Christian minority has long been concentrated, churches have been bombed, Christians gunned down and the community is fearful.

The latest victim was a Christian minibus driver who was killed today in east Mosul by unknown gunmen, police said.

It was the seventh attack targeting Christians in the city in the past month.

"This was all a dream we used to live in for many years, and then the nightmare came back and a black cloud came over us,'' said Jamil Butrus, a 59-year-old Christian lawyer.

"Our joy and parties turned to hell - killing, threats and explosions. You do not know what the aim of it is or who is doing it.''

The Iraqi army has been put on alert in areas with large Christian populations such as Mosul and the surrounding province of Nineveh, the ethnically mixed province of Kirkuk, and in Baghdad.

Troops have been out in force in Mosul since celebrations marking the Islamic new year last week and roads leading to churches have been closed off.

All of the city's churches are now guarded by checkpoints and military patrols.

"Today, the streets that lead to churches look like a military base - they are blocked by barbed wire and concrete barriers with policemen all around,'' said 56-year-old engineer Younis Mekha, a Christian.

"You have to park your car far away and then walk. Policemen or soldiers will give you a scary look and ask you where you are going, tell you to go back, that you are not allowed to go in.

"You tell him: 'Yes, I know, but I am a Christian and I have come to pray.' Then you give him your ID papers and after checking them, he lets you in.''

However the tight security measures have failed to prevent violence.

A bomb attack against an historic church in Mosul yesterday killed two people, both of them Muslims, and wounded five.

This story cannot be true, after all, Islam is a “Religion of Peace and Tolerance” “one of the worlds great civilizing forces”

Or does The President of the United States of America, Hussein Obama, the United Nations,the Democrats,International Socialism and the Koran

LIE ?

Islam IS what Islam DOES

When are the Numb Nuts that govern

Judeo Christian Democracies going to

get that FACT through their thick Leftist University Educated SKULLS ?

Better still how much longer are the citizens of Judeo Christian Democracies going to suffer these

useless Bastards that dare call themselves our leaders?

BTW Merry Christmas.

Alleged Paedophiles arrested with links to Dolly Dunn following victim’s testimony.

Paedophile arrests link to Dolly Dunn

By ADAM WALTERS and JANET FIFE-YEOMANS
The Daily Telegraph
December 23, 2009

A PROMINENT kids sports instructor and Aussie Rules umpire has been arrested this morning in relation to paedophile offences linked to notorious sex fiend Robert "Dolly'' Dunn.

The man, aged 66, and another man, aged 60, are alleged to have been associates of Dunn.

They were arrested this morning at their homes in Harris Park and Belrose by the Sex Crimes Squad.

Dunn died in Long Bay Prison Hospital in July this year aged 68 from HIV complications

The former school teacher was serving a 20-year sentence for a series of sexual offences against boys in the 1980s and 1990s.

 

This morning's dramatic arrests follow one of Dunn's victims approaching police and making a lengthy statement naming the two men.

Police will allege among other charges that the 60-year-old procured this victim and supplied him to Dunn.

Both men are facing a raft of charges and are currently being questioned by police at Parramatta and Dee Why police stations.

Dunn's sordid double life was first revealed by the Wood Royal Commission into paedophilia, which uncovered explicit photographs of young boys coerced into sex.

The photos showed boys aged about 10 possibly younger - performing a series of sex acts.

``They're as bad as you could ever expect to see of that kind,'' Justice Wood said at the time.

Too disturbing to be revealed publicly, the photos were shown to journalists in a closed session.

Police had the photos since 1993, but Dunn had still not been charged, forcing then assistant commissioner Alf Peate to agree police efforts had been abysmal.

The commission also revealed a video taken by Dunn and a companion as they travelled the state secretly filming young boys.

Described by Justice Wood as "an evil film", it contained segments shot at Mudgee in the central west, Menangle in Sydney's south west, and on the central coast.

Calling themselves "Jedda" and "Dolly Dunn", the two men film young boys on the street, swimming in a river and fishing from a bridge while dressed only in bathers.

Throughout the film is a commentary of the men referring to the boys as "she" and "it". At Raymond Terrace, north of Newcastle, Jedda zooms in on a group of boys and says: "Look at that little bum going up in the air there now."

Justice Wood said the boys would not have known they were being filmed.

"They are innocent victims of two paedophiles who chose to use a holiday to film them in various locations," he said.

"It's an evil film in the sense that's it's rather frightening to think there are people who would spend their holidays driving filming small boys, and largely from the rear, when they do not know it."

The Commission discovered that of the 440 suspected paedophiles profiled by police Dunn's name was not included.

Some of the best ever work of 60 Minutes Australia,watch the entire video for an insight into how Paedophiles regard their perversion aka. “Boy Love”

Is it just ME,or why am I not surprised that “Dolly” is a School Teacher?
