The Labor Governments Islamic Colonization of Australia continues unabated
Daily Telegraph
August 12, 2012
AUTHORITIES have intercepted two boats believed to be carrying asylum seekers.
Border protection boat ACV Hervey Bay stopped a boat west of the Cocos Islands on Saturday night.
Initial indications suggest there were 31 people, claiming asylum, on board.
Later, HMAS Broome, operating in coordination with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, intercepted another boat northwest of Ashmore Islands.
It is believed there were 87 passengers on board.
The passengers on both boats will be transferred to Christmas Island for security, health and identity checks.
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said on August 8 after a 25th boat arrived with more than 100 asylum seekers on board: "More than 22,000 people have now turned up on 379 boats under Labor, and this latest arrival is the largest."
ACV Hervey bay stopped twp asylun seeker boats the day before.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen is not confident the political deadlock on asylum seeker policy will end soon, despite the findings of an expert panel being due tomorrow.
The panel, headed by former defence chief Angus Houston, will hand down its findings to Mr Bowen tomorrow, after Labor asked it to come up with policy solutions to break the impasse between the minority government, the opposition and the Greens.
But the opposition has already dismissed the panel's findings without seeing them, saying it stands by its policy of processing asylum seekers on Nauru, reintroducing temporary protection visas and getting the navy to turn back boats when it's safe to do so.
Asked today if he believed the deadlock would be broken this week, Mr Bowen was not optimistic.
"It takes a particular type of arrogance to reject a report's recommendations before you have even seen them, when we are dealing with people's lives ...,'' he told ABC television.
Mr Bowen said the time for arguing about the benefits of Nauru versus the government's Malaysia solution had passed.
While the government was happy for its policies to be held up to scrutiny by the expert panel, the opposition was not, he added.
"They have stuck to their sound bites, stuck to their sound grabs,'' he said.
Mr Bowen said he was not yet aware of the panel's recommendations.
Initial indications suggest there were 31 people, claiming asylum, on board.

Convicted Islamic Terrorist,Belal Saadallah Khazaal, High Court of Australia denies appeal.
The Daily Telegraph
June 30, 2011
A FORMER Qantas cabin cleaner who was jailed for writing a "do-it-yourself'' terrorism jihad book could be released on bail within days.
Belal Saadallah Khazaal, 42, has been behind bars since September 2008, after the NSW Supreme Court found him guilty of making a document between September 20 and October 28, 2003 connected with assistance in a terrorist act, knowing of that connection.
He had been sentenced to at least nine years behind bars.
But earlier this month the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal allowed an appeal against Khazaal's conviction, and ordered a retrial.
The retrial was likely to go ahead in the next six to nine months, Justice Michael Adams told the Supreme Court on Thursday.
Khazaal's lawyer, Charles Waterstreet, urged Justice Adams to release Khazaal on bail in the meantime, given that he had previously complied with ``the most onerous bail conditions the court had ever granted'' from June 2004 until he was jailed in September 2008.
``He was not allowed to use the internet, he was not allowed to use the phone without notice, he was not allowed to leave the house except for prayers, he was not allowed to mix with anyone other than his family,'' Mr Waterstreet said.
Despite that, he had obeyed the bail conditions and had appeared for his trial.
``Very rarely do you have a case of very serious charges and a compliance with bail for several years,'' he said.
He argued that Khazaal had been jailed in a maximum security arrangement that was ``one level down from Guantanamo Bay'', and that his two children, aged 13 and 14, needed their father to be with them.
Appearing with the aid of an interpreter, Khazaal's brother-in-law, Hissam Alyassine, agreed to put up his house, valued at $460,000, as surety that Khazaal would meet his bail conditions.
In addition, Khazaal's two brothers, who were at the court, agreed they would each undertake to deposit $200,000 as surety.
Crown prosecutor Peter Neil SC opposed bail.
Justice Adams said he would make a decision in the next few days.
The matter was adjourned to a date yet to be fixed.

The Bolt Report 1, 2 and 3 featuring Wayne Springsteen and Bill the Pie Man Shorten
Treasurer is more goose or a turkey than a Swan
Piers Akerman
The Sunday Telegraph
August 05, 2012 1
WAYNE Swan has sunk the ideals of the Labor Party and shown enormous disrespect, if not ignorance, of the legacy of one of Labor's more recent heroes, John Button, with his bizarre channelling of US rocker Bruce Springsteen.
Given the opportunity to make a substantial contribution to a party which its own leaders openly acknowledge lost its way under former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, and has failed dismally to find it since, Swan has left it mired in the marshlands of New Jersey.
Unfortunately, he demonstrated he was as ignorant of New Jersey as he was of many other areas when he attempted to link multi-millionaire Springsteen's banal lyrics with social dysfunction in Australia. That he did so while delivering the annual John Button lecture made the comparison between the current Treasurer and acting Prime Minister's contribution to Australian politics and Button's legacy inevitable. To put it extremely mildly, Swan is no Button.
Button was a senior minister in the truly reforming Labor governments of Bob Hawke and Paul Keating. Swan has been Treasurer under Rudd and Julia Gillard - neither of whom could be regarded as reformers - and has been at the helm as the nation's economy has gone from a healthy surplus to a record level of debt.
Button was a thinker and a doer, whose passions were (tragically) the Geelong football team, cricket and literature. He made a significant reputation as a barrister and solicitor in Victoria before he entered politics. Swan has been an academic but his life has been one of Labor Party jobs, nothing in the real world.
Swan and the Labor Party are running on empty. The only political strategy they have is a desire to wedge the Opposition and focus their attack on its leader Tony Abbott as Swan did with his Button lecture.
Curiously, he didn't mention the fact that Button was a great fan of the very same budgie smugglers that Labor now finds so repellent. He would often find time to sunbake on the roof of the Old Parliament House before the ALP decided that wearing the brief swimmers symbolised something dark and oppressive.
Swan's and Labor's cheer squad have now seized on the NDIS and the Gonski review into education as examples of the ALP's reforming agenda. In fact they are prime examples of the ALP's enormous propaganda campaign.
Putting it bluntly, Gillard's Labor-Green-independent minority government unveiled both policy programs with enormous fanfare but has singularly failed to explain how either will be permanently funded. All spin, no substance. A lot like Swan's Button address.
What was Swan on about? Every person under 30 was lost. Springsteen is not on their radar. Swan has kicked an own goal. He identified himself as being out of touch - that's the view of the thirty-somethings I know. Just like his cabinet colleague Craig Emerson did two weeks ago.
What we are seeing is a Labor karaoke club of Swan and Emerson, and what we are left wondering is which Labor luminary will next break into song or dance and entertain the masses with a muse?
Disregarding reality and distracting the Canberra cognoscenti with pseudo-intellectual nonsense designed for a morning television show audience is no way to win back a nation tired of Labor nonsense. Nonsense that has resulted in a devastating litany of failed policies from border protection to the NBN to the education revolution and pink batts, to list just a few from the depressing list of waste and national decay.
When Swan plunged back into an era which even Springsteen has eschewed in favour of huge personal wealth vast homes, expensive cars, private jets and international tax havens, he ignored the fact that New Jersey residents are statistically better off than Australians. Their per capita GDP is $53,000 while ours is $41,000, but perhaps those numbers are beyond the Treasurer's intellectual grasp.
New Jersey is regarded as a go-ahead state that has shaken off the dead hand of politicians who would not be out of place in the ALP. Button was a giant compared to the pygmies like Rudd and Swan who now infest the leadership ranks of the ALP.
Masterly chefs prepare a delicacy by stuffing a boned duck into a boned turkey. It is known as a turducken. In politics, a swan which is really more goose and turkey is called a Wayne.
Offended New Jersey says Treasurer Wayne Swan's a working-class zero
Gemma Jones
The Daily Telegraph
August 03, 2012
SPRINGSTEEN super fan Wayne Swan has been ridiculed by US politicians over remarks he made about the US state of New Jersey.
Mr Swan lit the spark that has drawn reaction from the office of the New Jersey governor and Republican senate leader when he said this week: "Don't let Australia become a Down Under version of New Jersey, where the people and the communities whose skills are no longer in demand get thrown on the scrap heap of life."
A spokesman for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said: "Give me a break. I'd like to know if he has any knowledge of New Jersey beyond what he's heard in a Bruce Springsteen song."
The state's senate Republican leader also mocked Mr Swan, saying: "Apparently the electoral 'silly season' is not a uniquely American phenomenon."
A New Jersey newspaper columnist asked: "Was this a blunder from Down Under, or maybe just someone fleeing a lifetime of Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport?"
Locals in Freehold, where Springsteen spent most of his childhood, said it had changed dramatically since the 1960s, when "The Boss" wrote songs about racial tension, guns on the street, closing manufacturing businesses and "whitewashed windows and vacant stores".
Hotel worker Carolyn McGackin, 39, said Springsteen's childhood hometown had been transformed since the 1960s with racial tolerance, a shopping mall, competitive businesses, good schools and employment.
"Freehold is a lot kinder, a lot more accepting," she said.
Mr Swan, who compared himself to Springsteen when speaking of his defence of the working class in a speech in Melbourne, has visited New Jersey, a spokesman said.
"The Treasurer will go in to bat for Daily Telegraph readers ... while [Tony] Abbott and others are going into bat for billionaires who they have promised huge tax cuts at the expense of working people," he said.

Pious Muslims Iftikhar Ahmed, 52, and his wife Farzana Murder Daughter because she was too westernised
UK parents guilty of murdering daughter Shafilea Ahmed
Daily Telegraph
August 03, 201211:23PM
A BRITISH court has found a Pakistani-born couple guilty of murdering their "westernised" teenage daughter in an apparent honour killing.
In a high-profile case, Shafilea's sister Alesha had told the jury her mother had said: "Just finish it here," as they forced a plastic bag into Shafilea's mouth in front of their other children.
Iftikhar Ahmed stood impassively as the verdicts were given, while his wife wiped tears from her eyes with a tissue.
They were due to be sentenced later.
Three of their children also broke down in tears as they watched from the courtroom.
Shafilea had disappeared from the family home in the town of Warrington, near Chester, in September 2003, and her body was found five months later on a riverbank in Cumbria, north-west England.
Prosecutors said the couple murdered her because they felt her "western" habits, such as wearing make-up and talking to boys, had brought shame on the family.
The court heard that Shafilea had run away from home and asked the local authority to provide her with emergency accommodation, just before she was drugged and taken to Pakistan in February 2003 to be forced into a marriage.
In a letter to social services, she said she had suffered from regular domestic violence since she was 15.
"One parent would hold me whilst the other hit me," she wrote. "I was prevented from attending college and my part-time job."
Her main reason for running away was that her parents "were going to send me to Pakistan and get me married to someone," she added.
Iftikhar Ahmed, a taxi driver, denied the murder and said Shafilea ran away from home.
His wife also denied the killing, but told the jury she saw her husband beating Shafilea and believed that he killed her.
Labor Green Loon's Islamic Colonization of Australia :Truth worse than the Fiction
The truth on refugees is worse than fiction
Paul Sheehan
Sydney Morning Herald
July 30, 2012
It is a lie that will not die. It has been sent to tens of thousands of Australians in an email that has been circulating for years. The latest variation compares the amount paid to Australian aged pensioners with the benefits available to refugees. It claims the weekly allowance for pensioners is $253 while the weekly allowance for refugees is $472.50, plus a weekly hardship payment of $145, meaning refugees are eligible for more than twice as much government support as pensioners. It's a concoction. The problem for the federal government is that the truth is in some ways worse than the lie.
As long ago as 2009 the Department of Immigration felt compelled to issue this press release: ''Figures quoted in these emails bear no resemblance to income-support payments to asylum seekers and refugees settling in Australia … Asylum seekers in Australia who have not yet had their protection claims decided have no access to Centrelink benefits.
Things have loosened up since then. Some asylum seekers now do qualify for welfare before their claims have been decided. The system of ''thorough security and identity checks'' has been compromised. This has damaged the federal Labor government, damaged the reputation of the Prime Minister, and damaged the traditional links between blue collar workers and the Labor Party. It has inflicted as much political damage on Labor as the carbon tax about-face.
In trying to understand the persistently dreadful opinion polls for the Gillard government, I keep coming back to this issue, a policy debacle for which Kevin Rudd, not Julia Gillard, bears primary responsibility, though on her watch it has gone from embarrassing to potentially terminal.
What follows are half a dozen elements that are already of concern to the Australian Federal Police, but about which the AFP must remain mute:
The police have not seen as large a gap in quality control in the flow of unskilled and welfare-dependent arrivals since the refugee flow from Lebanon in the 1970s.
About 90 per cent of those who arrive via illegal boat entries have been granted permanent residence, yet the overwhelming majority have entered Malaysia or Indonesia by legal means, then destroyed their identity papers with the intent of making it difficult for Australia to check their bona fides.
The amount of workplace participation among refugees and asylum-seekers remains low for some time. After four years, only about 25 per cent are engaged in full-time work. (The issue is examined in a Department of Immigration report, Settlement Outcomes for New Arrivals, published in April last year.)
Under intense political pressure, the federal government is emptying the detention centres by issuing bridging visas which allow detainees to enter the community, work, and receive welfare benefits before their final status has been determined. This has slashed the average time spent in detention from nine months to three months but the quicker turnover has compressed the scrutiny process.
Some of the high take-up of welfare payments among asylum seekers and refugees is being recycled into bringing relatives to Australia, including via people smugglers.
The Royal Australian Navy is being used as a pick-up service by people smugglers who call navy vessels to advise them of their need for assistance.
Little wonder that numbers are exploding. In the three years before the election of the Rudd government, 71 people arrived on 10 illegal boats. It took a year for the impact of Labor's dismantling of the previous border security regime to kick in. Over the past three years 341 illegal boats have brought 20,248 asylum-seekers. Another 363 have drowned. Uncounted others have perished or turned back.
Australia's Labor Green Loon Co Party Government sets new Olympic Record for Islamic Colonization of Australia
All these problems are personified by ''Captain Emad'', who fled Australia in June even though he had been under investigation by police. The man, Abu Khalid, was a people smuggler who came to Australia by passing himself off as an asylum seeker. He brought his wife, three children and a grandchild. All received refugee status, settled in Canberra and were provided with public housing despite using different identities to those they used to enter Indonesia from Iraq. Yet even after Khalid's activities were exposed by the ABC's Four Corners program, he was allowed to leave.
Systemic deceit has been rewarded by systemic support. Even some asylum seekers who have avoided immigration control, destroyed their identity documents and not yet had their claims decided are eligible for support under the Asylum Seeker Assistance Scheme.
Among the benefits that can be made available to those granted protection visas, and those granted refugee status, is a one-off household formation package of up to $9850. Families can be eligible for education assistance of up to $9220. People granted refugee status become eligible for welfare payments immediately without having to wait the two-year period set for immigrants. Single applicants are eligible for a Newstart Allowance. Parents are eligible for Centrelink's parenting payment. Refugees, and some on bridging visas, also receive Medicare assistance for medical, hospital, dental, medicine and optical costs. Mobile phones are provided to those who arrive as unaccompanied minors.
This is the honeypot that has combined with civil strife to cause entire villages to empty in Sri Lanka and thousands of young men to travel from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan to get on illegal boats to Australia.
The viral email about Australia's generosity to refugees may be wrong in its details, but the truth is a story of government gullibility without end.
Its time the Australian connections within the Union GetUp funded Labor / Green Loon / Independent "Co Party" Government are rounded up and charged with treason.Aussie.

Peter Slipper James Ashby and Andy Muirhead : The Great Australian Sleeeeze keeps OOOZING
Police face legal minefield in deciding on Ashby investigation
BY: SARAH ELKS AND LAUREN WILSON
The Australian
August 01, 2012 12:00AM
QUEENSLAND police are negotiating a legal minefield to assess whether to launch a full criminal investigation into a complaint by stood-aside Speaker Peter Slipper that the former staffer pursuing him for sexual harassment had sex with two underage males nine years ago.
In Queensland, sex with minors is an offence carrying a maximum of 14 years in jail, but police have received only a "third-party" complaint from Mr Slipper about his former aide James Ashby's alleged dealings.
The Liberal National Party turncoat wrote to Queensland Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson in late June to relay the claims about Mr Ashby's alleged sexual relationships with two
15-year-olds in Townsville in 2003, when Mr Ashby was 23 and well before he had met Mr
Slipper.
Police are now trying to discover whether the two young men at the centre of the allegations want to make a complaint against Mr Ashby, who filed a politically explosive sexual harassment claim against Mr Slipper in April, forcing him to step aside from his parliamentary duties as
Speaker.
ABC TV's 7.30 program reported that one of the young men had contacted Mr Slipper and
complained of feeling "used and disgusted" by his short-lived relationship with Mr Ashby. Mr Slipper reportedly urged the young man to contact police, but ended up doing so himself.
Mr Slipper did not respond to The Australian yesterday. Mr Ashby's media spokesman also
declined to comment.
Tony Abbott insisted the allegations against Mr Ashby were a "matter for police" and it was up to them to investigate and take "appropriate action".
Queensland is the only Australian jurisdiction with different ages of consent for different
sexual acts. A person must be 18 to engage in sodomy, or anal sex, but only 16 to engage in
other sexual activity.
A spokesman said Queensland Police Service was "in the process of determining whether any person authorised to do so wishes to make a complaint and if that is the case whether there is the evidence to support any prosecution". "We will advise in due course the outcome of that investigation."
The spokesman told The Australian police could pursue a matter without a formal complaint from a victim, but said it was "a grey area".
Anti-child abuse advocate Hetty Johnston said third-party referrals of sexual crimes were of "minimal use" without a complaint from the alleged victim.
The Bravehearts founder said Mr Slipper was using a serious allegation as a "political football".
"It's a political red herring and it damages the credibility for survivors everywhere that make genuine complaints," she told The Australian.
Even if a complaint is received, lawyers say prosecutors have wide discretion about whether to take the matter to court.
Top Queensland criminal lawyer Bill Potts said prosecutors would weigh up the chances of a conviction and whether such a prosecution would be in the public interest.
"The attitude of the victim, whether there's a complaint, witnesses, the degree to which
there's a differential in age and power (between the offender and the victim), and the
reasons behind promulgating the complaint would be all factors," he said.
He said prosecutors took a hard line when the alleged offender was in a position of power and influence over their victim, for example in a relationship between a teacher and student.
Wayne Swan said allegations that Mr Ashby had sex with minors were extremely serious.
"They are going to be investigated by the authorities," the Treasurer said, adding that the
criminal allegations should be dealt with separately from Mr Ashby's sexual harassment suit
against Mr Slipper.
Trade Minister Craig Emerson said Mr Ashby should be entitled to the presumption of
innocence and the probe should occur without interference.

Former ABC host Muirhead pleads guilty to child porn

FORMER ABC presenter Andy Muirhead has pleaded guilty to three charges relating to child pornography in the Tasmanian Supreme Court.
The court has been told that Muirhead used peer-to-peer software to access more than 12,000 picture files and 24 videos.
Prosecutor Maitland Lincoln said Muirhead had changed software after reading articles about a child pornography ring busted by police in May 2010.
The ages of children depicted ranged from three to 14 and at least 60 were in the worst category, showing the explicit or sadistic treatment of children.
Muirhead looked down as graphic examples of the images and videos were played to the court.
He had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges.
His plea hearing is set to continue this afternoon.

Shadow Immigration Minister Scott Morrison on the latest arrivals, which have contributed to 2012 being a record year -- and it's only July.
Alan Jones and Tony Abbott discuss asylum seekers,foreign ownership and funding for Australian athletes.
“Only stubborn pride has stood in the way of the Prime Minister’s refusal to reinstate those policies and Australians are paying the price.
“Julia Gillard has the worst record in our history on border protection, which combined with her other failures makes her a strong candidate for our worst Prime Minister on record,” Mr Morrison said.
Mr Keenan said: “This latest boat arrival has made 2012 the biggest year for people arriving illegally by boat ever – and it is only July.
“We have another shameful record broken by this incompetent Labor Government who have now allowed over 1,600 people to cross our borders illegally this month alone.
“These unprecedented numbers have exposed the gaping holes that Labor have created in our border protection system and have made the job of our Border Protection Command all the more difficult.
“Until there is a change in Canberra and an end to the Labor-Greens governing alliance, the boats will keep coming and the records will keep breaking,” Mr Keenan said.

AN Islamic school in Sydney's southwest has been ordered to pay back $9 million in public funds after it was found to be operating for profit, the NSW government says.
Education Minister Adrian Piccoli says he has written to the Malek Fahd Islamic School in Greenacre ordering it to repay the funds following a random audit.
"Any school found to have operated for profit will have been deemed to have used their funds inappropriately and in that case I have an obligation as minister to recover those funds," Mr Piccoli told reporters in Sydney in Tuesday.
"For any period that it operated for profit ... any taxpayer funds given to it will be recovered by the NSW government."
The school owed $9 million, he said.

Western Australia :The Artesian Range, The Land that Time Forgot
The land that time forgot
Sunday Night
29 July, 2012
Reporter: Alex Cullen
Producer: Mick O'Donnell
The Artesian Range in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia has been dubbed a ‘land that time forgot’. Its hidden valleys and canyons have remained virtually untouched by modern civilisation, leaving a haven for some of the most fragile of our country’s small mammals.
It’s perhaps the only place in Australia where not one species of mammal has gone extinct since European settlement.
There’s been a catastrophic decline in small mammals across northern Australia in recent decades.
According to independent studies, even in the showcase Kakadu National Park small mammal populations have declined by more than 75% in the last 15 years. Now, the same threat faces the Artesian Range, until now a last-stand refuge for rare creatures like the Golden Bandicoot and Northern Quoll, which have disappeared from Kakadu.
Reporter Alex Cullen travelled to the remote Range with the small, passionate band of conservationists from the Australian Wildlife Conservancy who are helping these animals stave off extinction. Controlled burns, wildlife tagging and monitoring of feral cats are all part of the strategy to keep these vulnerable populations thriving.
