Australians Marcus and Julie Lee safe and sound after Five Years of Hell in Dubai
Dubai hell is over as Aussie businessman lands in Sydney

The Daily Telegraph
January 20,2014
WITH shouts of delight and a flurry of Australian flags businessman Marcus Lee and his wife Julie were embraced by family and friends at Sydney International Airport this morning after a five year battle that had kept them stuck in the United Arab Emirates.
"It has been what we have dreamed about for five years now," a tired and pale Mr Lee told the waiting media as he stood beside his teary wife, Julie.
"Even down to the last couple of days it has been pretty traumatic."
Mr and Ms Lee arrived with just the clothes on their backs and their luggage from Dubai following a torturous legal battle that has left them financially ruined and traumatised.
Mr Lee was acquitted of fraud three times in the lengthy case brought by Gold Coast developer the Sunland Group over a botched Dubai land deal.
He spent nine months in a Dubai prison, two of those in solitary confinement.
Mr Lee said he was "caught up in a grubby dispute between a lot of self interested property developers."
He said he owed everything to his lawyer John Sneddon who worked for free for five years.
"He always believed in me and told us we were going to get to this point.
"I have no idea how I will ever repay him."
Mr Lee embraced Mr Sneddon at the arrivals gate.
Mr Sneddon said getting an innocent Australian home was more important than money.
Mr Lee said he will now begin legal proceedings to try to get compensation for the ordeal.
The couple have lost everything, using the $300 000 bond money to repay debts.
Mr Lee said he would not warn other Australians not to travel or live in the United Arab Emirates.
"But there are issues and that does happen, it might be one in a hundred but there is that one."
Mr And Ms Lee had been set to leave Dubai on Friday but were prevented by state security officials.
Although Mr Lee believed he had obtained all the required clearance certificates to leave Dubai, the country's state security still had a flag against his name.
Australian ambassador Pablo Kang negotiated with the Dubai foreign ministry to get the couple cleared so they could leave on a later flight.
Mr Sneddon said the bureaucratic bungle could have flared into a diplomatic row if the state's security had not backed down.

Jane Fonda touches down in Sydney for Fitness First launch

January 19,2014
SILVER screen and fitness queen Jane Fonda has swanned into Sydney, looking like the glamorous diva she is.
Fonda, 76, looked radiant in a leopard print coat as she arrived at Sydney Airport yesterday morning on a flight from LA.
The two-time Oscar winner is in town to launch the "new and improved" Fitness First Australia and will appear at their Market St studio on Tuesday January 21.
Fonda took up fitness many years ago after giving up ballet when she fractured her foot filming The China Syndrome.
Her first fitness video was released in 1982 and was credited with starting a workout craze among baby boomers.
In total, she went on to sell more than 17 million copies of her 23 workout videos.
Over more than five decades as an actor, Fonda has starred in more than 48 films, including Julia, Barbarella, Klute, Monster In Law, The Butler and Georgia Rule.
As for me, I was put thru a mock execution because I would not respond..
Pistol whipped on the head....same event.. Couple of days later...
Hung by my feet all day. I escaped and a couple of weeks later, I got
Shot and recaptured. Shot was OK...what happened afterwards was not.
They marched me to Vinh...put me in the rope trick, trick...almost
Pulled my arms out of the sockets. Beat me on the head with a
Little wooden rod until my eyes were swelled shut, and my unshot,
Unbroken hand a pulp.
Next day hung me by the arms...rebroke my right wrist...wiped
Out the nerves in my arms that control the hands....rolled my fingers
Up into a ball. Only left the slightest movement of my L forefinger.
So I started answering with some incredible lies.
Sent me to Hanoi strapped to a barrel of gas in the back of a truck.
Hanoi ..on my knees....rope trick again. Beaten by a big fool.
Into leg irons on a bed in Heartbreak Hotel.
Much kneeling--hands up at Zoo.
Really bad beating for refusing to condemn Lyndon Johnson.
Several more kneeling events. I could see my knee bone thru
Kneeling holes.
There was an escape from the annex to the Zoo. I was the Senior
Officer of a large building... because of escape...they started a mass
Torture of all commanders.
Now, the point of this is that our make-believe
President has declared to the world that we (U.S..) are a bunch of
Torturers...Thus it will be OK to torture us next time when they
Catch us...because that is what the U.S. Does.
Our make-believe president is a know nothing fool who thinks
That pouring a little water on some one's face, or hanging a pair of
women's pants over an Arabs head is TORTURE.. He is a meathead.
I just talked to MOH holder Leo Thorsness, who was also in my squadron,
In jail...as was John McCain...and we agree that McCain does
Not speak for the POW group when he claims that Al Gharib was
Torture...or that "water boarding" is torture.

Fantastic Video 5 Things you should know about Great White Sharks
Think You Got BALLS?
5 Things you should know about Great White Sharks
1. Great whites don't like how we taste. They prefer the energy dense blubber of seals and sea lions. Their teeth have special nerve endings that can detect the calorie-rich blubber - the only problem is sharks sample bite to work this out.
2. They have six highly developed senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing and electromagnetism. Through electromagnetism they can navigate the ocean by following an electrical map of the earth's magnetic fields.
3. Great whites don't like to fight for food. If there's only enough food for one, the sharks will swim past one another and slap their tails on the surface of the water, directing the spray towards the other shark. The shark that delivers the most slaps wins dinner.
4. Sharks are one of evolution's greatest success stories. Older than dinosaurs, their ancestry dates as far back as 400 million years.
5. 75-100 million sharks are killed each year. The demand for shark fins (for soup) has soared in the past 15 years with great whites one of the dish's many victims. Scientists at Stanford University believe there could be as few as 3500 great whites left in the oceans.
Nearly two Sydney women a week converting to Islam .. Invented BY a Sociopath FOR Sociopath's
Almost two Sydney women a week are converting to Islam
Ben McClellan
The Sunday Telegraph
January 19,2014
MORE THAN 100 people - most of them women - are converting to Islam in Sydney each year, and experts warn some new converts are more likely to adopt extremist elements of the religion.
Such radicalism was highlighted by the death last week in Syria of former Queensland Anglican schoolgirl turned Muslim jihadist Amira Karroum, 22, who is believed to have been killed by rebel fighters in Aleppo alongside her US-born husband Yusuf Ali.
Pious Muslim Sociopath Amira Karroum "F … the police! Smash all the cop cars.''
Ms Karroum had adopted an extremist form of the faith, praising terrorist Osama bin Laden and supporting the violent Muslim riots in Sydney in 2012.
The pair were based in Granville before travelling to Syria to fight in December.
Another Granville man, Caner Temel, 22, has been named as the latest Australian victim of the civil war in Syria.
The Australian New Muslim Association estimates two-thirds of the converts they see each year are female, with more than 60 per cent converting because of their husbands or partners.
Julia Moukhallalati was just 18 when she swapped her Orthodox Christian upbringing for the mosques of western Sydney.
Soon after, Mrs Moukhallalati, 22, converted to Sunni Islam. She met her Lebanese-Australian husband Raed while asking about halal meat in a restaurant. They married just three months later and live in a granny flat behind her in-laws.
Mrs Moukhallalati, originally from Sutherland Shire, said her relationship with her family was still a "work in progress".
"My parents pushed me to be Orthodox but they never had answers to my questions," she said, adding she had always been fascinated with Islam and believed it put women on a pedestal, rather than oppressing them.
"As soon as I started studying it I knew I had to be a part of it," she said. "I loved how a woman was treated. She is treated like a rare diamond, she is honoured in the family."
Mrs Moukhallalati said although she believed it was her duty to spread the word of Islam, she didn't agree with travelling overseas to fight.
"It's pretty sad. There are some Muslims who are extreme, but I believe in moderation," she said.
"It's the best thing I have done, but make sure they (converts) go to the right source. A lot of information on the internet could not really be what Islam teaches.
"You want to learn the truth as Islam is, not how some people portray it to be."
Mrs Moukhallalati said she did not feel obligated to wear the face-covering niqab but did wear a headscarf.
"I put in more pride and effort with the scarf on.
"Now that I'm scarfed I feel more beautiful," she said.
Australian Muslim Women's Association head Silma Ihram converted from Christianity during a trip to Indonesia in 1976 at 24.
She said converts were sometimes guided by more extreme interpretations.
That meant they fell out with their families and were susceptible to radical elements., she said.

Amira Karroum’s friends from school remember her beautiful smile and her bubbly personality. She was a girl who would throw her arms around mates and greet them with a hug and a kiss as she grew up a “sweet and caring” daughter on the Gold Coast beaches, where her dad ran a kebab shop along the Glitter Strip.
To the people who knew her from those days, she would have seemed the unlikeliest terrorist — they would never have thought of her as a religious martyr.
But in the months and weeks leading up to her death last week in a bullet-ridden house in war torn Syria alongside her husband Yusuf Ali, her Facebook posts reveal a young woman heading for a dangerous future — and fully prepared for what she would meet.
“Everything is temporary,” she wrote. And: “Islam is my identity. The burqa is my shield. Jannah (the Islamic garden of paradise) is my destination.’’
The husband she called her “lion”, and the “man of my dreams” wrote in one of his last posts: “Preparing for the grave”.
The couple are not the only Australians to go to their graves as part of the rebel cause bringing down the ruthless regime of President Bashar al-Assad, but as the first Australian woman to die Karroum’s story has shocked a public unable to conceive of anyone dying for a foreign country, for a foreign cause, let alone a highly educated and intelligent young woman from a good family.
“They are being misled and lured into an evil situation that was about freedom but now it is about the abuse of their religion. In many places, recruitment is so subtle that those being recruited may not even know it.’’
It is believed as many as 205 Australians have travelled to the battlefield that is Syria since the conflict began in 2011 — part of a contingent of about 11,000 foreign fighters answering what they see as Allah’s call to battle.
At least five Jihadist death notices have been posted online for Australians in the complex civil war that has so far claimed more than 100,000 lives.
Some Islamic leaders say Australians may be motivated to join the Syrian conflict out of frustration at a perceived lack of international action against the Assad regime. National security agencies fear what the radicalised fighters will bring home with them.
“The best-case scenario is that someone has witnessed the conflict and comes back with enormous psychological baggage,” Kerkyasharian says.
“The worst-case scenario is someone who has gone there, who’s been involved in the fighting, who’s seen fellow combatants killed and they’ve come back with revenge in his or her heart.”
“They can get skills, connections, and may decide to carry out violence,” Zammit says.
“Authorities are very worried. They are aware that this is the greatest mobilisation of Australians to fight with jihadist groups that we’ve ever had.
“They could be travelling there with all sorts of motives, often after having watched footage of people they identify with being killed by the Assad regime. The big issue is what groups they get involved with once over there.”
In 2012 Karroum, who had studied graphic design at Queensland’s University of Technology, moved to Sydney and met USborn Yusuf Ali, a Muslim convert.
They married in April last year and settled at Granville in Sydney’s west — in the heart of the Muslim community.
Despite her education at one of the country’s top Anglican schools, St Hilda’s in Brisbane, Karroum was always a Muslim — but it was not until a couple of years ago that she started to wear a burqa. On her Facebook page, she described her work as a “Slave of Allah” and her posts became increasingly extreme, condemning America, the war on terror and even democracy.
“Today I witnessed hijabi girls promoting democracy with their Tshirts and their stupid voting papers. Kuffars! May Allah guide these strangers!’’ she posted on federal election day last September.
After wild Muslim riots in Sydney’s Hyde Park in 2012 she called for more violence, urging Facebook followers to: “F... the police! Smash the cop cars.”
On the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, she posted: “Worst effing night. I’m proud of being a Muslim!!!!! 10 years of war in Afghanistan for two towers.”
She talked of going to a shooting range and, on Facebook, regularly checked in at a Sydney address she called “Bin Laden’s Cave”. In Granville, Ali is alleged to have been recruited by Hamdi Alqudsi, 39, and sent with another four men to Syria. A sixth, aged 23, was arrested at Brisbane airport.
Alqudsi, a disability pensioner, was arrested in December and accused of being the mastermind behind a network sending Australians to Syria to fight alongside Jabhat al-Nusra and other al-Qaedalinked groups. Alqudsi, charged with recruiting, organising and funding the men, is the husband of controversial Muslim Carnita Matthews — the woman who, in 2010, claimed police tried to rip off her burqa to see her face during a roadside breath test.
They were killed inside a house near the city of Aleppo, which is near the border with Turkey and ground zero of the war, possibly by members of the Free Syrian Army.
The rebels are fighting government troops and other factions trying to oust Assad.
On Facebook, Karroum’s sister Rose, who also embraced Islam and calls herself the “Mujahidah Lioness”, asked for prayers for the couple, who she said had been “martyred”. She described her sister as a “soldier” who had been parted from her husband by “something bigger than them”.
An al-Qaeda fan page posted a photo of Yusuf Ali on Monday, labelling him and his wife martyrs: “May Allah SWT unite them both in the Highest of Heavens ...Ameen.”
Pious Muslim Sociopath Amira Karroum "F … the police! Smash all the cop cars.''
Amira Karroum’s half-brother Karl Karroum said the family had no idea she was going to Syria.
“They are peaceful people,” he said of Amira and her husband.
Gold Coast Islamic Society president Hussin Goss says the couple worshipped at his mosque when they were visiting the Gold Coast. He does not believe they were radicals.
“People say they must have been radicalised in Sydney or on the Gold Coast but the last time I saw Yusuf about six months ago, he was a normal person — smiling, having fun, and praying of course,’’ Goss says.
“Amira was a good girl who did a lot of volunteer work in the community. She was more of a giver than a taker — she had an open heart. I can only say good things about her.’’
Goss says he understood Karroum and Ali had gone to Syria to do “humanitarian work” — not to fight the Syrian government.
“They were over there trying to help because the governments of the world aren’t,’’ he says.
On the Gold Coast, Karroum’s father Mohamad suffered a mild heart attack when he heard the news of her death. Her mother Honor Deane said she was “distraught with grief”.
Just weeks ago Karroum had posted a Facebook photo of her mother with love hearts and emoticons and the words: “My Life, My Mum”.
There are times you need to fight

Hala Trad is a 23-year-old philosophy student from Yagoona. She was born in Australia to
Lebanese parents. Her father Keysar fled his homeland in 1976 as a refugee and her mother arrived here in 1986. Here she tells TAYLOR AUERBACH why she sympathises with Australian Muslims who feel compelled to join the war in Syria.
IS Islam against fighting? I don’t know how to answer that question.
It’s not completely against war because war happens. Suicide is completely Haram (against Islam) but war isn’t.
Sometimes you’re in a position where you need to fight. I definitely sympathise with the frustrations of Muslims in Australia who feel like they have to go over to Syria.
I know some people who I believe went over there to fight. People say things. By the way they talk, it seems like they went over for the cause.
The situation in Syria is very hard to hear about, especially from Australia where we can’t do anything. I get goose bumps just thinking about it. So many people are being oppressed by this regime and being displaced.
I’m not qualified to go over, I don’t have the resources. But I can understand how people would do anything to help the people the government regime is oppressing.
It’s hard to tell people not to go over and fight because Islamic people get very heated up by the situation. They feel helpless. It’s not close geographically, but it’s so close to home. One thing that Islam teaches is that we have to help our Muslim brothers and sisters.
This tyrannical regime is oppressing their brothers and sisters and it’s incredibly frustrating.
They feel helpless from here. Could they die as martyrs? It really depends on their motivations for going over there and the situation they were in when they got harmed.
Personally, I’m a philosopher. I think there are other ways to help. Any sort of humanitarian aid that I can do, I do.”

She was a girl who would throw her arms around mates and greet them with a hug and a kiss as she grew up a “sweet and caring” daughter on the Gold Coast beaches, where her dad ran a kebab shop along the Glitter Strip.
To the people who knew her from those days, she would have seemed the unlikeliest terrorist — they would never have thought of her as a religious martyr.
But in the months and weeks leading up to her death last week in a bullet-ridden house in war torn Syria alongside her husband Yusuf Ali, her Facebook posts reveal a young woman heading for a dangerous future — and fully prepared for what she would meet.
“Everything is temporary,” she wrote. And: “Islam is my identity. The burqa is my shield. Jannah (the Islamic garden of paradise) is my destination.’’
The husband she called her “lion”, and the “man of my dreams” wrote in one of his last posts: “Preparing for the grave”.
The couple are not the only Australians to go to their graves as part of the rebel cause bringing down the ruthless regime of President Bashar al-Assad, but as the first Australian woman to die Karroum’s story has shocked a public unable to conceive of anyone dying for a foreign country, for a foreign cause, let alone a highly educated and intelligent young woman from a good family.
Young Australian Muslims like Karroum, 22, and Ali are being exploited by radicals and political zealots to go to Syria, says Dr Stepan Kerkyasharian, outgoing chairman of the NSW Community Relations Commission.
“People are being duped into being cannon fodder between the two warring Sunni factions. People are killing each other within their own faith,” he says.“They are being misled and lured into an evil situation that was about freedom but now it is about the abuse of their religion. In many places, recruitment is so subtle that those being recruited may not even know it.’’
It is believed as many as 205 Australians have travelled to the battlefield that is Syria since the conflict began in 2011 — part of a contingent of about 11,000 foreign fighters answering what they see as Allah’s call to battle.
At least five Jihadist death notices have been posted online for Australians in the complex civil war that has so far claimed more than 100,000 lives.
Some Islamic leaders say Australians may be motivated to join the Syrian conflict out of frustration at a perceived lack of international action against the Assad regime. National security agencies fear what the radicalised fighters will bring home with them.
“The best-case scenario is that someone has witnessed the conflict and comes back with enormous psychological baggage,” Kerkyasharian says.
“The worst-case scenario is someone who has gone there, who’s been involved in the fighting, who’s seen fellow combatants killed and they’ve come back with revenge in his or her heart.”
“They can get skills, connections, and may decide to carry out violence,” Zammit says.
“Authorities are very worried. They are aware that this is the greatest mobilisation of Australians to fight with jihadist groups that we’ve ever had.
“They could be travelling there with all sorts of motives, often after having watched footage of people they identify with being killed by the Assad regime. The big issue is what groups they get involved with once over there.”
In 2012 Karroum, who had studied graphic design at Queensland’s University of Technology, moved to Sydney and met USborn Yusuf Ali, a Muslim convert.
They married in April last year and settled at Granville in Sydney’s west — in the heart of the Muslim community.
Despite her education at one of the country’s top Anglican schools, St Hilda’s in Brisbane, Karroum was always a Muslim — but it was not until a couple of years ago that she started to wear a burqa. On her Facebook page, she described her work as a “Slave of Allah” and her posts became increasingly extreme, condemning America, the war on terror and even democracy.
“Today I witnessed hijabi girls promoting democracy with their Tshirts and their stupid voting papers. Kuffars! May Allah guide these strangers!’’ she posted on federal election day last September.
After wild Muslim riots in Sydney’s Hyde Park in 2012 she called for more violence, urging Facebook followers to: “F... the police! Smash the cop cars.”
She talked of going to a shooting range and, on Facebook, regularly checked in at a Sydney address she called “Bin Laden’s Cave”. In Granville, Ali is alleged to have been recruited by Hamdi Alqudsi, 39, and sent with another four men to Syria. A sixth, aged 23, was arrested at Brisbane airport.
Alqudsi, a disability pensioner, was arrested in December and accused of being the mastermind behind a network sending Australians to Syria to fight alongside Jabhat al-Nusra and other al-Qaedalinked groups. Alqudsi, charged with recruiting, organising and funding the men, is the husband of controversial Muslim Carnita Matthews — the woman who, in 2010, claimed police tried to rip off her burqa to see her face during a roadside breath test.

Ali left Australia for Syria soon after his marriage, saying he was going to do humanitarian work. Karroum followed him just days before Christmas, telling her family she was heading to Denmark to holiday with friends and then do some humanitarian work.They were killed inside a house near the city of Aleppo, which is near the border with Turkey and ground zero of the war, possibly by members of the Free Syrian Army.
The rebels are fighting government troops and other factions trying to oust Assad.
On Facebook, Karroum’s sister Rose, who also embraced Islam and calls herself the “Mujahidah Lioness”, asked for prayers for the couple, who she said had been “martyred”. She described her sister as a “soldier” who had been parted from her husband by “something bigger than them”.
An al-Qaeda fan page posted a photo of Yusuf Ali on Monday, labelling him and his wife martyrs: “May Allah SWT unite them both in the Highest of Heavens ...Ameen.”

Amira Karroum’s half-brother Karl Karroum said the family had no idea she was going to Syria.
“They are peaceful people,” he said of Amira and her husband.
Gold Coast Islamic Society president Hussin Goss says the couple worshipped at his mosque when they were visiting the Gold Coast. He does not believe they were radicals.
“People say they must have been radicalised in Sydney or on the Gold Coast but the last time I saw Yusuf about six months ago, he was a normal person — smiling, having fun, and praying of course,’’ Goss says.
“Amira was a good girl who did a lot of volunteer work in the community. She was more of a giver than a taker — she had an open heart. I can only say good things about her.’’
Goss says he understood Karroum and Ali had gone to Syria to do “humanitarian work” — not to fight the Syrian government.
“They were over there trying to help because the governments of the world aren’t,’’ he says.
On the Gold Coast, Karroum’s father Mohamad suffered a mild heart attack when he heard the news of her death. Her mother Honor Deane said she was “distraught with grief”.
Just weeks ago Karroum had posted a Facebook photo of her mother with love hearts and emoticons and the words: “My Life, My Mum”.

IS Islam against fighting? I don’t know how to answer that question.
It’s not completely against war because war happens. Suicide is completely Haram (against Islam) but war isn’t.
Sometimes you’re in a position where you need to fight. I definitely sympathise with the frustrations of Muslims in Australia who feel like they have to go over to Syria.
I know some people who I believe went over there to fight. People say things. By the way they talk, it seems like they went over for the cause.
The situation in Syria is very hard to hear about, especially from Australia where we can’t do anything. I get goose bumps just thinking about it. So many people are being oppressed by this regime and being displaced.
I’m not qualified to go over, I don’t have the resources. But I can understand how people would do anything to help the people the government regime is oppressing.
It’s hard to tell people not to go over and fight because Islamic people get very heated up by the situation. They feel helpless. It’s not close geographically, but it’s so close to home. One thing that Islam teaches is that we have to help our Muslim brothers and sisters.
This tyrannical regime is oppressing their brothers and sisters and it’s incredibly frustrating.
They feel helpless from here. Could they die as martyrs? It really depends on their motivations for going over there and the situation they were in when they got harmed.
Personally, I’m a philosopher. I think there are other ways to help. Any sort of humanitarian aid that I can do, I do.”

Student that punched a teacher who was subsequently fired for putting him in a headlock feels no remorse

A STUDENT who punched his teacher in the head during class said he's not sorry the man was sacked for putting him in a headlock.
Former Riverstone High School student Jarrad O'Hanlon told The Sunday Telegraph he felt no remorse over the 2011 incident which ended the twenty-year career of teacher Stephen Krix.
Mr Krix, then a probationary science and agriculture teacher, was fired for misconduct for breaking NSW Department of Education and Communities strict guidelines by making physical contact with a student.
Mr O'Hanlon refused to take off his headphones during a science lesson, told the Mr Krix to
"f*** off" several times - before punching him when he stood close to the student and refused to move.
O'Hanlon, 18, was suspended over the incident, but claimed the teacher deserved to be sacked.
"I don't feel bad because he started it," Mr O'Hanlon said. "He provoked it."
He declined to comment any further and said: "I don't want any part of it".
Mr Krix lost an appeal against his sacking in the NSW Industrial Relations Commission earlier this month.
Stephen Krix sacked for putting student in a headlock after he was punched
The commission found Mr Krix should not have made physical contact with Mr O'Hanlon, despite Mr Krix arguing he was defending himself because Mr O'Hanlon was punching him.
Since The Sunday Telegraph revealed Mr Krix's plight last week, a Facebook page titled "Fix Our Schools - Support Stephen Krix" emerged last week and has more than 2000 'likes'.
An online petition calling the department to reinstate Mr Krix as a teacher has also received 100 signatures.
Mr Krix now works in the security industry and said he wasn't surprised at the teen's flippant attitude because "he's never been taught boundaries."
"I have no anger towards Jarrad because he's just taking advantage of the rules of the game," Mr Krix said.
"No significant action has ever been taken against him."
"I don't see asking a student to do his work as provocation … it's me doing my job."
The other incidents of misconduct included Mr Krix blocking the path of three students as they tried to run out of his classroom.
The third happened when Mr Krix's students kicked flammable liquid at each other - leaving one with serious burns - after he left the scene of the science experiment to stop a student stealing petrol from his car.
Mr Krix said the ruling meant teachers were powerless to discipline or stop students from physically assaulting them.
The punching episode was the second incident where Mr O'Hanlon physically assaulted Mr Krix during a class, according to his 168 page school discipline record tendered to the NSWIRC.
In February 2011, Mr O'Hanlon was suspended for four days for calling Mr Krix a "f***wit" three times and pushing him in the chest "very hard".
Asked whether it was appropriate to sack Mr Krix and how he should react when a student punched him, a department spokesman said: "action will not be taken against teachers who act reasonably in their conduct while disciplining students".
"Teachers are dismissed in circumstances where their conduct towards students is extreme and could not be considered appropriate given circumstances at the time," the spokesman

The Greens’ campaign to scrap the Lord’s Prayer from parliament is so exquisitely
boutique, bourgeois and anally introspective that it is hard not to believe it was deliberately conceived in an effort to make the party even more repellent to middle Australia than it already is.
Indeed, it is almost as though the Greens’ Marketing Sub-Collective had stumbled across a hitherto undiscovered rock-dwelling hermit who didn’t already regard them as a pack of inner city wankers and thus determined that they would have to ratchet up their brand messaging.
The most telling aspect of Acting Leader Richard Di Natale’s call this week to dump the Lord’s Prayer from the opening of each parliamentary session is that, prior to him making it, 99 per cent of Australians didn’t even know it was there and, of the tiny remainder who did, 99 per cent didn’t particularly care.
This is perhaps because the process of the Speaker reciting the “Our Father” and half the gathered MPs mumbling along has precisely zero negative impact on the rest of the country.
The question, therefore, is not really whether the Lord’s Prayer should be there or not but rather why would anyone with half a brain care?
The reason, as Senator Di Natale outlined to The Sydney Morning Herald, is that: “(When the prayers are read) there are a lot of people who are silent or who are thinking of other things.”
More expansive thinkers might be tempted to respond: “Well, yes. So what’s the problem?” Even a Fairfax poll had two-thirds of respondents saying it should be kept.
And even if the good senator’s fears are taken at face value, one might be tempted to respond with an expression he might also take exception to: Heaven forbid!
Just imagine the sinister threat of politicians having a moment of contemplation, or — an even more unthinkable precedent — being silent for a few seconds.
And for those who do recite the words, however half-heartedly, there is also the risk that they might subconsciously absorb such sinister exhortations as to be grateful for what we have and to forgive others’ transgressions. If these messages were taken to heart it would be the end of party politics as we know it — not to mention the Coalition’s border protection policy.
Fortunately for those who fear such a terrifying prospect, the prayer in parliament is not taken with the literal zeal it has in other times and places.
Rather, it is for most a quaint and salient reminder of Australia’s origins as one of the world’s most successful, tolerant and prosperous liberal democracies and its place in the canon of western civilisation in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
There is also the rather tiresome complaint that the reading of the prayer is somehow oppressive of or excludes the many Australians of other faiths or no faith at all.
Notwithstanding the almost imperceptible level of protest from citizens of other religions, this has clearly not registered as a concern for the thousands of desperate people who risk their lives to come to this country by boat, nor the millions more refugees everywhere from Syria to Sudan who would give their eye teeth for a home here.
It thus lies somewhere between perplexing and staggering that someone would want to purge such a benign part of Australia’s scarred but still incredibly blessed history, particularly someone called Richard Di Natale, whose name ultimately translates as “Richard of Christmas”.
Would he also want to expunge his own surname for visiting implicit oppression upon people of other cultures and faiths? Of course not.
