Global Warming.. oops Sorry "Climate Change" Kevin Rudd

Goulburn's eco-friendly Rudd made to pay for our polluting PM

KEVIN Rudd of Goulburn has one of the smallest carbon footprints in Australia.

Down the road, Kevin Rudd of The Lodge, Canberra, has a giant carbon monster print.

But it will be Mr Rudd and his energy-wise Goulburn family - who use water-saving taps, collect shower water for the garden, have insulated their home and make sure they switch off lights when they leave a room - who will pay.

The Federal Government's emission trading scheme, which has been called into question as the economy deteriorates, could cost families as much as $200 a year in higher energy bills.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has been busy earning the nickname Kevin "Carbon" Rudd.

His private jet belched more than 3100 tonnes of carbon, or 225 times the yearly emissions of the average Australian household, into

the atmosphere as he flittered around the world in his first year in office. The Lodge, where open log fires were burning as late as last year, and his Sydney home, Kirribilli House, spewed 272 tonnes of carbon.

"I don't see why we should have to pay (more for electricity), we don't have the sort of money," Mr Rudd of Goulburn said. "We will have no choice. I suppose in the long run if it is to help the carbon emissions, we will be happy."

For a sustainable future, experts have calculated every person on Earth would need to reduce their carbon emissions to an average two tonnes each. On that score, Mr Rudd would account for more than 1500 average people, according to The Daily Telegraph's study of just the Prime Minister's international flights during his first year in office.

It was estimated last year that the Government's carbon reduction scheme would add 1 per cent to the cost of living in Australia.

"I think $200 is a very modest estimate and as for Kevin Rudd's enormous carbon emissions, it is really typical of do as I say, not as I do," the Australian Family Association's John Morrissey said.

Liberal Senator Michael Ronaldson labelled Mr Rudd "Carbon Kev". "Mr Rudd is not a climate change sceptic, he is a climate change hypocrite," he said.

A spokesman for Mr Rudd listed measures the Government was taking to reduce Australia's overall carbon footprint, including the trading scheme.

Please Please Spare me this CRAP !!!!!!! ............Well that was my instantaneous reaction to this pap piece... then I thought that if the MSM is daring to publish such a story, maybe the Green Hoax aka Global Warming .. ooops sorry aaaheem hang on I will get it right in a minute
Climate Change... HOAX have been exposed a little more than they already have.

The loons that propose the Global Warming Hoax are the same loons that stated that the earth was going into an Ice Age back in the 1970's, these same loons were just hoping that people like me had forgotten what they said back then more importantly they had hoped that people like me had not kept records of what they said back then.

Loons where are you ? come out Loons, Loons, Loons, yooooo hoooooo are you there Loons?
Al are you there? Kevin 07, Barack Hussein are you there?
Look forward to discussing what went wrong with your Ice Age theory by 1980.. I am sure you have a good explanation's to why you got it so WRONG then, and why you have it so RIGHT now and into the year 2050,How did you get it so wrong over TEN years (as far as I know we have not had an ice age between 1970 and 1980 and not even as I write this are there any signs of an Ice Age) but are able to predict exactly what the temperature and sea level will be in the year 2050?

Australia: Labor's Green Loons training for "direct action and civil disobedience"

Greens protesters promoting rising tide of crime

EXCLUSIVE by Joe Hildebrand

PEOPLE are being urged to break into shops, "disable" four wheel drives and throw pies at people by an extreme environmental group being promoted by the NSW Greens.

The group Rising Tide is planning a blockade of the world's biggest coal port in Newcastle, for which Greens MP Lee Rhiannon has held a "direct action and civil disobedience" workshop to prepare protesters.

Rising Tide claims the protest will be legal and peaceful, however it also warned participants "there can be no guarantee against arrest".

Ms Rhiannon - who will attend the blockade with her staff - yesterday praised Rising Tide but said she was unaware of its support of vandalism and did not condone it.

Rising Tide said people concerned about climate change should also "shut down" petrol stations and blockade power plants.

The suggestions are contained in a list of 64 "actions" posted on the group's website.

A spokeswoman for Rising Tide stood by the list, saying the actions were "trivial" compared to the threat of climate change.

Many of the suggestions are benign but some are clearly illegal and potentially dangerous.

They include:

* DISABLE a 4WD. (Letting the tyres down is one way - and doesn't leave you open to "malicious damage" charges, because it doesn't

damage the vehicle);

* THROW a pie at chief spin doctor at the NSW Minerals Council;

* SHUT down petrol stations;

* SUBVERTISE - distort the messages on adverts for climate criminals;

* PAINT bike lanes on the road;

* START a campaign against air flights; and

* BLOCKADE or occupy a power station."

Rising Tide spokeswoman Georgina Woods said the group stood by the suggestions, saying they were "on the scale of things, a little bit of inconvenience".

"Our group is non-violent but we feel we're facing a wide unprecedented challenge and a little bit of civil disobedience as an expression of community frustration," she said.

Green activist Lisette Salkavich, who distributed an email urging people to get involved in the Rising Tide blockade, said that while she had not done it herself damaging property could be morally justified in some circumstances and climate change was an urgent threat.

International Socialism, Kevin 07 Rudd, let loose via the Greens /Environmental movement, the Lunatics are running the International Socialist Asylum

Marnie Pearce, mother of two, jailed over a cup of tea

The Daily Telegraph
March 13, 2009 07:36am

A BRITISH mother of two is being held in jail after being found guilty of adultery - for having a cup of tea with a male friend.

Marnie Pearce, 40, had separated from her Egyptian husband Ihab El-Labban when he burst into her Dubai home and found her drinking tea with another man.

Mr El-Labban now has custody of their two children - Ziad, 4, and Laith, 7 - and former classroom assistant Ms Pearce fears she may never see them again because she will be deported as soon as she is released.

Amnesty International says Ms Pearce, who has lived in Dubai for 15 years, is "a prisoner of conscience".

Mr El-Labban made the claim of adultery - which is a crime in the strict Muslim country - during a custody battle over the boys.

Ms Pearce, who denies a physical relationship with the man, went on the run with the boys but eventually gave herself up and handed the sobbing children over before her case was heard and she was sentenced.

"She should be immediately and unconditionally released," Amnesty's UK representative Tim Hancock said.

"The rights of these two young children are in serious danger of being forgotten in the dispute between their parents. The boys should be allowed to express their own opinion on what should happen to them."

One appeal was dismissed, although a court did agree to reduce her original six-month sentence to three months.

A verdict on her most recent appeal is expected by March 16.

What do you think?

What do I think? I think if I have to see another story of a Woman from the civilized world who chose to marry a follower of the "Religion of Peace" telling us that it all went hay wire I will have to say , yet again, well what the F**k did you think was going to happen?
Did she think she was going to live happily ever after?
Did she think there was such a thing as "Islamic barbarism light", or "Islamic sociopaths Inc.home edition" ?
Did she think the Koran was an invention of right wing extremists who wrote it to make the followers of the Religion of Peace look bad ?

If all of the above was the case it would would make me think she was uninformed, and if that was the case, well, I ask why was she uninformed, but I guess not every woman in the civilized world is aware of the Islamic menace, and I have the utmost sympathy for her, and wish her well and hope she gets her freedom, and HER children back as soon as possible, however there is a piece of me that says maybe she is one of those "enlightened liberal western" apologists for Islam, and maybe was determined to prove the "fallacy" of Islam NOT been a "Religion of Peace", if this Marnie Pearce is of the latter, then I hope she survives her time in the Religion of Peace's Jails and hope she is able to remember the faces of her children, for she has reaped what she has sown, by marrying a member of Sociopaths Inc. aka the 'Religion of Peace"
And don't ya just love the Muslim controlled, Irene Khan, Amnesty Internationals Tim Hancock's, confected outrage "She should be immediately and unconditionally released," these are the same mob of useless arse clowns who spend the majority of their time lecturing the civilized world on morals and human rights whilst demanding the civilized world RESPECT and tolerate the barbarism and savagery of the cult of the Islamic third world and every other piece of useless third world SHIT that they are getting a stipend from in exchange for engratiating the status of said despot on the world stage.

I am sick of this shit how about YOU ????? I gotta get me a Fuckin Rifle, I can get a horse pretty quick, I just need a Rifle and a pet Croc, maybe a few Roo's and a Mookie Monster an Aussie Dog and I am outa here.

It's the Koran Stupid!!!!
Garbage IN Garbage OUT
It's no wonder there are a billion mentally deranged Sociopaths running around loose in the world,
If you told even a 1/4 of them to read the Koran
why would you be surprised at 911

Perth Western Australia : Police Officer Matt Butcher attacked by thugs.

From Perth Western Australia: Gee its so good we have so many women in the Police Force, I mean they are always there just when you need them, when the shit hits the fan you can always count on a bystander doing their job for them, whilst they invoke Australia's new age Policing tactics of "non violent conflict resolution " against a group of thugs who should have had the crap beaten or shot out of them long before Officer Matt Butcher had his head smashed into the pavement.
I have at this point no knowledge of Officer Matt Butcher's condition, I just hope he is ok and that his Female assistant (sparkler) did not damage her nails or suffer any lasting emotional damage after witnessing the incident that would require long term rehabilitation.
Go the "affirmative action, new age,non violent conflict resolution tactics" adopted by Australian Police Forces..... yeah right... How's ya head Matt?

The Western Australian Police force is the same Police force where male Police officers threatened strike action a few years ago following the Socilaist WA Governments edict that the WA Police force would have to be made up of at least 25% Female Police officers, why the threat of strike action? watch the video.

Australian Federal and State governments, should get it through their THICK Socialist "caring and sharing" SKULLS,that it's a Police FORCE not a branch of their public relations department where all cultures,behavours,values are equal.

OK OK OK STOP PRESS!!!!!!!!! It gets worse watch the video below and then what I have to show / tell you will knock your socks off, especially any US Police Officers I am just waiting for the info to come on line, ok, got it it's on.

Only in Australia,or any other Socialist Governed Country could, what you are about to see be described as an "Alleged Assault" against Police officers,
Officer Matt Butcher in particular.

Now believe THIS.

These sacks of Shit found NOT Guilty of assaulting these Police Officers should be WHERE?
What should have happened to them, if the jury had of seen the same video you just saw saw them DO to Matt Butcher?

Within minutes of the attack upon Officer Matt Butcher he found himself Partially PARALYSED & partially BLIND, if the thugs you just saw attacking him did not cause his injuries who did?
The video offers NO indication that paralysis was and sight impairment was pre existing.
Come on you new age "critical thinkers" on the jury could you offer any explanation as to how Officer Butcher was one minute fully sighted and suffered no paralysis and the next minute
did ?

Latest: Kevin " I have never been a Socialist" Rudd shows up as the arsonist dressed as a Fireman, offering the socialist double speak.
Assault case shows 'police need support'

YahooNews.com
March 13, 2009, 12:29 pm

A jury's verdict in an assault case has highlighted the need for communities to rally behind their police, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says.

Mr Rudd said on Friday he had been shocked after arriving in Perth to see a newspaper report of a jury's decision to clear three men of any involvement in a pub brawl.

Perth policeman Matthew Butcher was left paralysed and with brain damage and sight impairment after he was knocked unconscious by a headbutt during a fracas outside the Joondalup Old Baily Tavern in February last year.

A jury on Thursday found Robert McLeod, 56, and his sons Barry McLeod, 29 and Scott McLeod, 35, not guilty on all counts of assaulting Constable Butcher.

Barry McLeod was alleged to have endangered the life of Constable Butcher by felling him with what prosecutors described as a "flying headbutt".

In the only guilty verdict against the men, Scott McLeod was found to have made threats to kill a civilian who recorded the incident on his mobile phone.

Family, friends and colleagues of Const Butcher say they are in a state of disbelief over the verdicts.

Mr Rudd said he was shocked by the front-page report of the jury verdict in the West Australian newspaper.

"I had to read it twice," he told Fairfax Radio Network.

He said while he was unfamiliar with details of the event, it was "a wake-up call" for communities to support their police force.

"Every police commissioner I've spoken to in the eastern states has told me how hard things are getting, and in the central business districts in particular," he said.

"What we have here is a wake-up call for people to rally behind police.

"They are doing a first-class job in the community and I think it's absolutely important we use this event as a focal point to rally behind our police."

He said police put themselves "in the front line every day, in very dangerous and difficult circumstances".

"Most (of these incidents) are never reported," Mr Rudd said.

"I think it's high time the community just got behind the police in absolutely everything they do.

"It's time we had a new attitude of respect for the police because they are dealing with the problems of violence, domestic violence and alcohol-induced violence of binge drinking."

He was a long-standing supporter of the jury system, but that "errors occurred from time to time in the administration of justice".

"That's not a comment I make in reference to any particular case," he said."

"... but we need to focus again on this extraordinary event, and use it to focus on what we can do more to protect our police on the beat."

Costco to open in Australia.

US giant Costco takes on Coles, Woolies with first Australian store at Docklands

By Kellee Nolan

SUPERMARKET giants Coles and Woolworths will have have a new kid on the block to go up against later this year with cut-price international grocery warehouse Costco set to open in Melbourne.

Costco will open its first Australian outlet at Melbourne's central Docklands precinct in July, offering everything from greenhouses to diamond rings and fresh strawberries to toilet paper, at discount prices to both wholesale and retail customers.

The store will create 225 new full-time and part-time jobs which Victorian Industry and Trade Minister Martin Pakula said was a "statement of confidence" in Victoria's economy.

The US-based Costco also planned to open a store in Sydney, and was looking "all over" the city for a suitable site, Costco Australian manager Patrick Noone said today.

The $60 million Melbourne store will be Australia's first, joining a stable of 535 Costco outlets across the US, UK, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan.

Following the inroads made by no-frills grocery chain Aldi in Australia, Costco warehouses will offer wholesale prices to small and medium enterprises and also allow retail consumers to buy goods at wholesale prices, for an annual $60 membership fee.

Commenting on the new central Melbourne Costco site, Mr Noone said he hoped people would travel "a long way" to shop there.

"We think they will take to it like ducks to water," he said.

Australian Retailers Association executive director Richard Evans said consumers would take some time to come around to the Costco way of shopping, but the wholesaler was a welcome addition to the retailing mix.

"Australian consumers are very set in the their ways, it's very difficult to get them to change their style of shopping," Mr Evans said.

"Retailing is very competitive but the more competition, the better it is for consumers."

Last year the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) ran an inquiry into the competitiveness of grocery prices in Australia, amid public concern over a perceived stranglehold on the market between Coles and Woolworths.

In its July 2008 report, it found price competition between Coles and Woolworths was limited by high barriers to entry for new competitors combined with limited incentive for Coles and Woolworths to compete aggressively.

But it found Aldi had been a "vigorous price competitor", forcing Coles and Woolworths to lower prices on many products.

Docklands retail and restaurant owners, still reeling from the closure of the heat-buckled Southern Star Observation Wheel, welcomed the announcement, saying it would attract people and bring good flow-on business.

Australia: Discrimination AGAINST white Males to be legalised

While you were sleeping.

Labor's "Fresh Thinking" and "Time for Change"

Discrimination against white males will soon be encouraged

Susie O'Brien
Herald Sun
December 09, 2008 12:00am

DISCRIMINATION against dominant white males will soon be encouraged in a bid to boost the status of women, the disabled and cultural and religious minorities.

Such positive discrimination -- treating people differently in order to obtain equality for marginalised groups - is set to be legalised under planned changes to the Equal Opportunity Act foreshadowed last week by state Attorney-General Rob Hulls.


The laws are also expected to protect the rights of people with criminal records to get a job, as long as their past misdeeds are irrelevant to work being sought.

Equal Opportunity Commission CEO Dr Helen Szoke said males had "been the big success story in business and goods and services".

"Clearly, they will have their position changed because they will be competing in a different way with these people who have been traditionally marginalised," she said.

"Let's open it up so everyone can have a fair go."

Victoria's peak business body expressed concern yesterday about the need for the proposed laws, and questioned if they would undermine the right of companies to make legitimate business decisions.

At present, individuals or bodies wanting to single out any race or gender for special treatment must gain an exemption from VCAT.

Companies and public bodies accused of discrimination can only be held to account after a complaint has been made.

But the proposed changes go much further, allowing the commission to inquire into discrimination, seize documents and search and enter premises after attempts to bring about change have failed.

Businesses and individuals would be required to change their ways even if a complaint had not been received.

Action could be taken where an unlawful act was "likely to occur", not just in cases where discrimination has taken place.

The commission would also have real teeth to enforce its rulings via VCAT and, as a last resort, in the courts.

The changes, shown in a Department of Justice report by former public advocate Julian Gardner, would also:

EDUCATE people so they know their rights.

GIVE more protection to people with disabilities, requiring companies and public entities to reasonably accommodate their needs.

GRANT the homeless and people who act as volunteers better protection from discrimination.

Victorian Employers' Chamber of Commerce and Industry workplace general manager David Gregory said business supported the objectives of equal opportunity legislation.

"But I am concerned and curious about whether these changes mean the commission can second-guess the legitimate business decisions of individual businesses," he said.

The first raft of changes to the Equal Opportunity Act were introduced into Parliament last week.

The Victorian Labor Party & VCAT's "finest hour" was when their Sharia Law inspired Star Chamber persecuted two evangelical Pastors Danny Nalliah and Daniel Scot.
Cases like these show why the Left / International Socialists / United Nations work so closely with, and facilitate the imposition of Islam via Islamic Terrorism, they have a rabid mad dog they are able to let off the chain to do their dirty work, all the while excusing their mad dogs behavior by demanding tolerance and understanding of such barbarism, under the threat of legal sanction been imposed upon their mad dogs victims.

Australia has never had so many laws against it's citizens freedom of speech, all at the hands of the Australian Labor Party and their various cabals of leftist sub branches eg the various environmental / human / animal rights organizations.

Just like Obama and the US Democrats, their Australian Comrades led by Kevin 07 Rudd, did promise "Change" and "Fresh Thinking"

Salt Shakers

The most high-profile case in Australia is that involving Daniel Scot, Danny Nalliah and Catch the Fire Ministries. When they ran a seminar on Islam in 2002, the Islamic Council of Victoria made a complaint against them under Victoria's Racial and Religious Tolerance Act.

Five years later, in June 2007, the case was finally resolved. We have documented this case fully on our News pages. Click here to read more about this important case.

Muslim bigots impose blasphemy laws on Victoria

Gerard Jackson
BrookesNews.Com
Monday 19 December 2005

At the behest of Muslim bigots and multiculturalist fanatics the Bracks Government suspended free speech in Victoria by imposing a blasphemy law dressed up as an anti-vilification law. This has given Islamo-fascists a freehand to attack critics of Islam.

In a ruthless attempt to intimidate critics Muslim fanatics reported two pastors to Diane Sisely, the Equal Opportunity Commission boss, for criticising the Koran. This enemy of free speech and her fellow Stalinoids on the commission then launched proceedings against the pastors for exercising their fundamental and inalienable right to free speech. So far these pastors have had to pony up more than $100,000 to defend themselves against Bracks’ obscene blasphemy law and these lefty zealots.

However, circumstantial evidence suggests that members of the Equal Opportunity Commission entered into a conspiracy to prosecute these pastors in order to intimidate potential critics of Islam into remaining silent.

Diane Sisely hired May Helou, a Muslim bigot, to help her identify people criticising Islam. True to form, this Muslim Torquemada quickly swung into action. Helou incited several Muslim converts to attend a seminar on jihad that had been organised by a Melbourne Pentecostal church. As a result three Muslims attended. About 250 Christians were present.

Pastor Danny Nalliah and Pastor Daniel Scot addressed the crowd. Pastor Daniel Scot, who had been sentenced to death in Pakistan for his Christian beliefs, accurately cited passages from the Koran and the Hadith, pointing out that these had been used by fanatical clerics to justify jihad against the West, lying for Islam, murdering apostates, raping female prisoners, etc. (Tell me, little Miss Sisely, do these passages make the Koran hate speech?)

The Pastors’ response to this barbarism was that Christians should pray and that Muslims “should be loved”. (This just goes to show how viciously intolerant these Christians really are). Well, this was just too much for our freedom-loving Muslim converts. Seething with trumped-up indignation, these monuments to the unquestionable benefits of multiculturalism complained, surprise, surprise, to May Helou who immediately brought the EOC down on the heads of our oh so dangerous Pastors. As a member of the commission this Muslim bigot even got to sit in judgment on its religious victims. (Talk about acting as judge, jury and executioner).

There is no doubt in my mind that some members of the commission conspired with May Helou to engage in the religious persecution of these Christian critics of Islam.

Given the nature of the evidence there should be an immediate and independent investigation of Sisely and Helou. As the EOC has been compromised by religious bigotry and its obvious contempt for Australian values, it should be abolished.

Under Bracks’ blasphemy law these victims of Muslim intolerance were ordered by the Orwellian Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to publicly apologise and humiliate themselves by spending $23,000 on ads. Furthermore, the Tribunal’s commissars ordered the pastors to submit to a form of re-education. They bravely refused to kowtow to these intellectual thugs.

The disgusting Stalinoid behaviour of Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal perfectly mirrors the behaviour of communist parties. Those who dissent from the party line are ordered to attend a meeting of party members where they are then humiliated and verbally abused. This continues until the victims submit*. Fortunately for Victorians, though they don’t know it yet, these pastors are determined to see that justice is done and the fundamental rights of Victorians are restored.

The riots in Sydney are revealing what happens when Australians get sick of a minority trying to impose, with the tacit agreement of cowardly politicians and half-witted multiculturalists, its reactionary Muslim beliefs on them

How does the slimy Mr Bracks view the riots that were incited by Lebanese Muslim thuggery? “Similar violence against ethnic minorities could occur [here]” (The Age, Attacks possible here, 12 December). Now you have it, Muslim thugs provoke riots and the lying Bracks smears the locals as racists.

Although it is something of mystery why Bracks is determined to impose a blasphemy law that favours Muslim bigots, what is not a mystery is the man’s contempt for the truth. Last September this mountebank met with several bishops. He looked them in straight in the eye and promised to make his blasphemy law less onerous. The lying creep then went about subverting our liberty by further strengthening this vicious law.

As a member of the Liberal Party I am outraged that Robert Doyle has supported Bracks’ anti-free speech laws. There are those of us in the Party who are sick of his moral cowardice and his lack of principles. We are also sick of Michael Kroger’s political string-pulling. Thanks to this power mad Brahmin the Party has been lumbered with the likes of Boyle, Sheezel and Helen Kroger.

Rumour has it that Kroger’s number is up. In the meantime the Party’s real liberals, liberal in the classical sense of the word, need to take a stand. Now Brookes has never bothered with religious matters, but when a bunch of theocrats, irrespective of their religion, succeed in limiting our freedoms then it is time to act.

It genuinely grieves me to have to do this because the Muslims I have known and worked with have always been decent to me and never raised the question of religious beliefs. But Bracks’ vile laws and the totalitarian behaviour of EOC and VCAT officials have left me with no alternative. So here goes:

The Koran is crap and Mohammed was a child-molestering, thieving, lying, murderous sadistic misogynist who couldn’t even spell his own name. How anyone with half a brain could be taken in by this loathsome thug beats me.

Now the law is the law, Bracks: So prosecute me. If you haven’t got the guts get the conspiring Diane Sisely and May Helou to send in their religious police. But if you think for one moment that a man like me would politely stand by and allow your two-faced commissars or some Vishinski-like judge to lecture me on tolerance and freedom, then you really are stupid.

While leftwing journalists and slimy politicians like Bracks and NSW Premier Morris Iemma smear Australians as racists, I should like to draw attention to what Professor von Mises had to say on the clash of values, which is what this is really all about:

In an Australia governed according to [classical] liberal principles, what difficulties could arise from the fact that in some parts of the continent Japanese and in other parts Englishmen were in the majority? (Liberalism: A Socio- Economic Exposition, Sheed-McMeel, 1978. Originally published as Liberalismus, Jena: G. Fischer, 1927).

But the treacherous likes of Sisely, Bracks and the bigoted Helou despise classical liberal values, preferring instead the heavy hand of the police state. These people and their admirers have clearly demonstrated their tyrannical inclinations, revealing once and for all that they are not to be trusted with any degree of political power.

Merauke Five : Rudd's "Fresh Thinking" Australians abondoned in Indonesian Hell Hole

Australian PM and arse clown in chief,Mr Kevin 07 Rudd.

Australians abandoned and left to rot in Indonesian Islamic hell hole
by Kevin 07's "Fresh Thinking"

Another Billion dollars plus+++++ has just been given to the Indonesian Government by the Rudd Socialist Labor Government, thats right Australian taxpayers are TAXED from arse hole to breakfast time, in order for Rudd and his fellow International Socialist's and Marxists, that are the Australian LABOR party,to prove what great noble and compassionate"world citizens" they are.
If these Australians were international Drug Dealers the Rudd government and their cabal of bleeding heart leftists apologists would have been screaming from the hill tops that these people be released and every assistance would have been afforded them by the Australian officials and "human rights" organizations at Australian taxpayers expense.
These people are not part of Comrade Rudd's "Fresh Thinking" and "Time for Change" Socialist Revolution.

Australians remain in Papuan 'no man's land'

The AGE
Ben Doherty and Tom Allard, Jakarta
March 13, 2009

FIVE Australians remain stuck in "no man's land" in the Indonesian province of Papua: no longer in detention for immigration offences but prevented from returning home.

The five Queenslanders were this week granted permission to fly home after six months in detention, following a ruling by the Jayapura High Court overturning their conviction and jail terms for immigration offences.

But local prosecutors have refused to accept the decision and have lodged an appeal. That could see the five, aged in their 50s and 60s, stuck in Papua, just an hour's flight from home, for months longer.

Last night, the Australians were still stranded in the departure lounge of Merauke Airport, where their plane stands fuelled and ready to fly but guarded by Indonesian air force officers refusing to let them board.

Prosecutors have impounded the plane, saying it is evidence for their legal challenge.

Karen Burke, one of the Merauke five, yesterday pleaded with the Australian Government to do more to help.

"We're scared to death to leave," she said.

"We think if we put a foot out the front door we could be arrested on some other charges. Our position is quite precarious."

Despite being asked to return to the town of Merauke, the five Australians are staying put, believing their encampment in the small international airport puts them out of reach of authorities.

"As far as we are concerned, we are in no man's land," said another stranded Australian, Keith Mortimer.

"We are going to stay here. Mate, they are going to have to physically pick us up and take us out of here."

An Australian embassy official is in Merauke assisting the five, while diplomats in Jakarta are helping to negotiate their passage home.

On September 12 last year, pilot William Scott-Bloxam, his wife and co-pilot Vera, and passengers Keith Mortimer, Hubert Hofer and Ms Burke, landed in Mr Scott-Bloxam's light plane at Mopah airport in Merauke in Papua, where a sporadic separatist insurgency has led to tight military control.

The Australians, who say they only wanted to visit for a long weekend to investigate tourism opportunities, did not obtain visas, flight approval or security clearance before they landed.

They were arrested and convicted of immigration offences. Mr Scott-Bloxam, was sentenced to three years in jail, while the other four were given two-year sentences.

On Tuesday, the province's High Court overturned their conviction, ostensibly allowing their return home.

But prosecutors have since lodged an appeal, meaning the five are unable to leave.

A Foreign Affairs spokesman said: "This situation is distressing for the Australians and their families, and the embassy in Jakarta is discussing with the five Australians and their lawyers the next steps towards obtaining their release and return.

"We understand that the five are no longer in detention, but are unable to depart for Australia.

"They are currently at the Immigration Office at Merauke Airport endeavouring to clarify their legal status. Our embassy consular official is also assisting them in consultation with the Indonesian authorities."

Friends and family of the five told The Age they were frustrated by the new delays and the lack of information from authorities.

U.S. to Give $900 Million for Gaza Reconstruction

FoxNews.com
Monday,February 23, 2009

JERUSALEM —
The United States is preparing to donate more than $900 million for the reconstruction of Gaza, a U.S. official said Monday, as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton prepared to attend a donors conference for the war-ravaged territory next week.

Israeli and Palestinian officials said earlier Monday that Clinton will visit Israel and the West Bank during the first week of March for her first trip to the region as America's top diplomat.

Clinton said during her Asia trip this month that she would attend an international donors conference in Egypt on March 2 to discuss reconstruction in Gaza.

She provided no other details, but a U.S. official in the United States said Monday that the Obama administration's donation will likely top $900 million in humanitarian and rebuilding aid to the Palestinian Authority to help Gaza recover from Israel's offensive against Hamas last month.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the donation had not received final approval, said the exact amount was still to be determined.

The official added that the aid would not go to Hamas. U.S. officials have no formal contacts with the Islamic militant group Hamas, which runs a separate Palestinian administration in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli officials, meanwhile, said Clinton will arrive in Israel on March 2 for meetings with the country's top leaders. Israel is currently ruled by a caretaker government as Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu cobbles together a new coalition.

The Israeli officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the visit had not been announced by the State Department, which has not released Clinton's schedule for next week.

Yasser Abed Rabbo, a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said Clinton also would visit the West Bank during her stay.

U.S. officials have no formal contacts with the Islamic militant group Hamas, which runs a separate Palestinian administration in the Gaza Strip.

Australian Politics:Election 2010 First leader to the centre wins

First leader to the centre wins

The next election is wide open and will be won or lost on a single issue -- economic management credentials

AT the last election, the times that suited John Howard for so long suddenly favoured Kevin Rudd, a fresh face presenting himself as an economic conservative. To many voters, the then Opposition Leader was an updated version of Mr Howard -- hard-headed but with a softer heart. His promises to abolish Work Choices and make a modest start on confronting climate change seemed affordable in the afterglow of 17 years of economic growth and reform.

The 2010 election, which the International Monetary Fund says will be fought in the depths of the "Great Recession", will be a different game. Wide open, regardless of opinion polls, the victor will be the party leader who has the foresight and pragmatism to break free of the current shadow-boxing over industrial relations and other economic issues and embrace the policies that the times demand. Tired, mean and tricky as the Howard government appeared to many after 12 years, an updated version of its economic management would resonate with voters struggling with unemployment and hard times.

If Mr Rudd is to step into the centre and secure his place as long-term Prime Minister, he will need to break free of the Labor Left upon which he relies too heavily for support and in shaping government policy. As a religious, socially conservative former diplomat, policy poindexter and bureaucratic nerd, Mr Rudd won the Labor leadership in December 2006 against all odds. His ambition, energy and the party's desperation after a decade in the wilderness compensated for his lack of a party or union powerbase. Queensland's Australian Workers Union powerbroker Bill Ludwig, for instance, helped him by slamming him as "no friend of the union movement".

In order to win the leadership, Mr Rudd cut a deal with Julia Gillard and her numbers man from Victoria, Kim Carr. He harnessed the Left as well as other disaffected former Crean and Latham backers who were ready to support anybody-but-Beazley. Almost half way into Labor's first term, the consequences of the Left's dominance of so many key economic portfolios is all too apparent with industrial relations and industry policy seemingly run out of a leftist ideological handbook from the Whitlam era.

It's time, in the national interest and his own, for Mr Rudd to realign his base and rebalance his Government's modus operandi by embracing the right -- including the former Kim Beazley camp. That is Mr Rudd's natural support group and the base from which two of Australia's most successful reforming prime ministers -- Bob Hawke and Paul Keating -- modernised the Australian economy.

Nobody, except perhaps Robert Manne in The Monthly, really thinks Mr Rudd, in his essay deriding the market economics of neo-liberalism, "could actually believe deeply what he wrote". As cabinet office head in Queensland, Mr Rudd was dryer than just about anybody on the horizon other than former Labor finance minister Peter Walsh. His economic razor cut a swath through the public sector that earned him the moniker "Dr Death". It was a badge of honour.

This interview between 2GB's Alan Jones and former Howard government treasurer Peter Costello says it all, I hope Costello gets the leadership of the Liberal Party as soon as possible so he can bash Comrade Rudd and Madame Gillard every chance he gets,just as he did when he was the treasurer in the Howard government.

In talking up Australia's economic difficulties, Mr Rudd is banking on gaining electoral traction from the power of incumbency. He hopes that voters, in their insecurity, will stick with the status quo. Recognising that the Senate is likely to modify his regressive industrial relations changes and the emissions trading scheme, he sees a chance to keep faith with the Left because the modifications will be forced upon him.

In current circumstances, however, this is second-rate leadership. The futility of Senator Carr wasting billions of taxpayer dollars to prop up uncompetitive industries is self-evident. In her vast portfolio overseeing education, employment and workplace relations and social inclusion, Ms Gillard has delivered big-time for her ACTU and Labor Left comrades an industrial relations system that takes the nation back pre-Howard, pre-Keating and pre-Hawke to the rigid, centralised system of the 1970s. The past 20 years have demonstrated the propensity of labour-market flexibility to generate jobs. In the national interest, Mr Rudd must stamp his leadership on the Government by overhauling and modernising its approach before the damage is too great.

Even more extraordinary than Mr Rudd's lurch to the Left is the way Malcolm Turnbull is imitating his every action when a far simpler strategy could make him prime minister. The message the Opposition Leader should deliver every day until the polls close is that when the Liberals were in power almost every Australian grew richer, year in, year out. And what the conservatives accomplished over 12 years, Labor has undone in a bare three. It's a message Mr Howard knew how to sell when he asked whether voters believed they could trust Labor with the economy, and it is a script Mr Turnbull should memorise.

But caught up in the issues of the hour and determined to impose his own ego on the Liberal Party, Mr Turnbull shows no sign of picking up the plan that is ready-made to win the next election. Like the Government, he wants to bury Work Choices. Like the Government, he supports action on global warming. Certainly his strategy appeals to Liberals with long memories, those who hated Mr Howard during the "wets" and "dries" internal party disputes in the 80s. And it appeals to others with very short memories, who blame Mr Howard for the 2007 election loss and believe that all of his policies were poison then and are poisonous now. But in turning his back on Mr Howard's legacy, Mr Turnbull is dancing away from what can win him the next election -- the record of the Howard government.

Mr Howard's legacy to Labor in 2007 was an economy that had never been in better shape at a transfer of power. By the next election, the Howard years will look like a golden age. It beggars belief that Mr Turnbull is dancing to the Government's tune with his clumsily choreographed positions on Ms Gillard's workplace laws, which he does not like but will not fight. And it is astounding that he is tap-dancing over the detail of the Government's complex plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions when he could march away from it on the grounds that it will cost jobs. Certainly the Howard government's poorly planned and presented Work Choices policy was largely responsible for the Coalition losing the last election. And Mr Howard's determination to ensure that dealing with global warming did not destroy Australian jobs was sold by Labor and the Greens as old and out of touch. But in changing course on these issues, Mr Turnbull is preparing to fight the last election, not the next one. Back then, voters listened to the Labor and ACTU message that Work Choices allowed unscrupulous employers to exploit low-skilled workers and especially young people in casual jobs.

With unemployment at a generational low, the electorate was not all that alarmed by warnings that the Labor alternative would cost jobs by reducing workplace flexibility and increasing union power. And prosperity ensured many voters were willing to sacrifice exports and economic expansion to cut back greenhouse gas emissions.

All this has changed since the global financial crisis. There is a real possibility that a million people could be looking for work by the next election, many of them young people sacked or never employed because Labor's new wages policy has made them too expensive to hire. And energy exporters, already struggling for sales, say the Government's complex ETS will cost them business. Few voters will be dazzled by these jewels in Labor's policy crown when we next got to the polls. Despite Labor's dominance in Newspoll, people are sceptical about the party. Labor came close to losing in the Northern Territory at the last election, it lost in Western Australia and it is no sure thing in the Queensland campaign. Nor are first-term federal governments guaranteed re-election. Bob Hawke's triumph in 1983 was not repeated in the closer 1984 campaign. Mr Howard's decisive win in 1996 was followed by a near political death experience in 1998 when he lost the popular vote. Mr Rudd's policy surrender to the Labor Left could yet make him a one-term prime minister because in the coming campaign, voters will ask themselves Peter Costello's question from the last one -- who can best be trusted to manage a trillion-dollar economy.

Yet in pussy-footing with internal politics, Mr Turnbull is ignoring his one opportunity -- to compare the reputations of the Labor and Liberal parties on the economy. And Mr Costello knows it, knows the next election will be fought on his issues, the economy and the need for further reform of government. Mr Turnbull must embrace the Howard agenda. If he declines to do it, the party should look for a leader who will. On either side of the political divide, the leader who captures the centre will be prime minister after the next election.

GBL : Lebanese national arrested in Sydney's occupied territories for DATE RAPE drug importation.

Man charged with importing liquid for date rape drug

The Daily Telegraph
March 11, 2009 06:40pm

A LEBANESE national has been charged with attempting to import 15 litres of a liquid used to manufacture a date-rape drug.

Australian Customs and Border Protection alleged its officers detected the 15 litres of Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) in 12 unlabelled bottles air freighted into Sydney from Hong Kong on March 8.

GBL is a precursor to the date-rape drug Gamma-hydroxybutyrate, commonly known as GHB or fantasy, and is a prohibited import without appropriate authority.

The March 8 discovery was referred to the Australian Federal Police, who on Tuesday searched a Bankstown address and arrested a 32-year-old man as he allegedly waited to take receipt of the liquid.

The man, who faced Sydney's Central Local Court on Wednesday, could now face a maximum penalty of $825,000 and/or life imprisonment.

Just re supplying I guess for that time honored tradition by the uninvited middle eastern residents of Sydney's occupied territories.
How many "Aussie Pigs" and "Aussie Sluts" aka. Australian women and girls, were saved from gang rape by these vermin I guess we will never know.
Well done Australian Customs and Border Protection

UK deals windfall for Rein enterprise

Peter Wilson, Europe correspondent
The Australian
March 11, 2009

KEVIN Rudd's family finances are heading in a different direction from those of most people as the global recession helps to add as much as $300 million to the annual turnover of his wife Therese Rein's job-placement company in Britain.

Industry experts familiar with her main operating company predicted yesterday that its turnover would more than treble in the next three years from about pound stg. 60million ($130 million) to pound stg. 200million.

While most families and industries struggle with the recession, Ms Rein, who is estimated to be worth $60 million, is prospering because her firm is already winning new British government contracts and her chosen profession of helping the unemployed is one of the few businesses that continues to boom in bad economic times.

Ms Rein's decision to sell her Australian operations to avoid a conflict of interest after her husband was elected prime minister in 2007 has turned out to be beautifully timed because she concentrated on the British job market just as it was preparing for an explosion of private sector activity.

Her firm, WorkDirections UK, is believed to have doubled its turnover from the pound stg. 32 million it reported in June 2007, while its workforce has also doubled to more than 700.

That growth is mainly being driven by the British Government's injection of new market forces and private enterprise into the task of finding jobs for the unemployed, but the recession is giving her business a further boost.

The upturn in Ms Rein's fortunes comes as Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull stands by his claim that it is hypocritical of Mr Rudd to attack "neo-liberal" policies when his own family finances have benefited from the privatisation of government services.

Ms Rein's acumen and business success have been well documented, but the extent of her expansion in Britain is only now becoming clear.

"Selling up in Australia and turning most of her attention to here (in Britain) turned out to be the smartest thing she could possibly have done," one economic adviser to the British Government said yesterday.

A spokeswoman for Ms Rein's holding company, Ingeus, yesterday refused to comment on the firm's growth prospects, issuing a statement saying that "we are not in a position to speculate about our purchasers' response to current economic conditions (but we) will continue to respond to employment services tenders as they arise".

Labour now pays about pound stg. 1 billion a year to private firms and voluntary groups for job services but it is committed to giving them access to more of the pound stg. 36 billion that it spends on the unemployed each year.

The likelihood of a Conservative election victory next year suggests there will be an even bolder shift to the private sector, with the Tories promising to put many more job-search functions out to contract and to make heavy cuts at the Department for Work and Pensions, which has already lost 30,000 jobs under Labour.

With Britain suffering one of the deepest downturns in the developed world, the number of people on some form of jobless benefits is tipped to double to two million, prompting Gordon Brown's Government to increase the scale and pace of its shift to private-sector job placement.

One of the Government's flagship programs, the Flexible New Deal for the long-term jobless, has been expanded from 100,000 places to 300,000 and the upfront payments to job placement firms have been increased to help fund the start-up of what is essentially a new private industry.

Several experts in London said the next 18 months to two years would be difficult for the private providers as they struggled with their own structural changes and a shortage of job vacancies, but when the recession eventually eased the profits would roll in. When the economy finally began to create more jobs the job placement agencies would thrive because they would have large numbers of relatively skilled and work-ready people on their books.

Richard Johnson, a former executive at Ms Rein's firm in Britain who now heads one of her rivals, yesterday backed the prediction that she could triple her turnover in the next three years.

"If you do the numbers you do come up with a result like that and Therese has built a company that deserves that sort of success," said Mr Johnson, the managing director of welfare-to-work programs for Serco, one of the world's largest providers of privatised public services.

"WorkDirections has probably the best reputation in the country for quality and integrity. It pays its front-line staff more than other providers and something like 90 per cent of them have university degrees.

"That high-quality service is a point of difference in the market and it has been a very clever strategy because the trend now is all about basing payments on results and if you deliver better results you will be better rewarded."

The Government is offering 24 large five-year contracts to provide job services in different parts of Britain and WorkDirections is widely expected to win three or four contracts.

That would lift its turnover to perhaps pound stg. 105 million and similar results in the next two annual rounds of contracts would lift it to about pound stg. 200 million.

Professor Dan Finn, a welfare-to-work expert for the Centre for Economic and Social Inclusion who has studied the introduction of such schemes in Australia and the US, said the first few years of the new British contracts were likely to have generous government funding.

"If you look at cases like the Jobs Network in Australia they tend to spend a lot to make sure it gets up and running, and then they tighten up the funding," he said.

"That is when the number of providers competing for business falls away ... and the quality operations like WorkDirections are left standing."

Ms Rein's firm has also entered the French, German and Swedish job markets but the greatest rewards have been offered by the structural reforms in Britain. Labour has already brought single parents and the disabled into welfare-to-work programs and is now flirting with the more radical step of using the huge pot of money that is normally reserved for unemployment benefits to pay job-placement firms for reducing the benefits bill.

Green Hoax down under Rudd's weapon of mass JOB destruction.

No room for idiocy in a harsh economic climate

Piers Akerman
News.com.au
Wednesday, March 11, 2009

CLIMATE Change Minister Penny Wong has increased the Rudd Government’s carbon footprint exponentially with the release of her 374-page emissions trading scheme legislation.

Wong has also given the Opposition a carbon neutral opportunity to stand up for average working families in the face of unprecedented environmentalist bullying from the Rudd Government.

It will have to be quick though as the global fiscal stuff-up, combined with the Government’s Bills on emissions trading and industrial relations, threaten to rapidly reduce the numbers of working families.

Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull is correct to focus on jobs while Rudd and Treasurer Wayne Swan squander the wealth of the nation on programs for which there is no sound economic reasoning.

The problem for the Government is that its plans have been tried and have failed elsewhere. On Monday and Tuesday more than 600 scientists and others met in New York to hear experts speak against the theory of man-made climate change.

Among them was the European Union President Vaclav Klaus, who said climate data did not support the theory of human causation, adding we needed to save the planet from the environmentalists.

See Comrade Rudd's Madame Wong at her best,here on the Labor Party's ABC Lateline program refusing to answer a simple question, note how many times the cameras are taken off her when she is under pressure and looks to her right seemingly seeking assistance from an off screen advisor in how best to not answer the question.
I can just imagine the fireworks in the studio after the interview concluded.

Another speaker was Californian Senator Tom McClintock who had the audience rolling in the aisles as he pointed out the inanities of the doomsayers.

The Left, he said, was now in the business of selling indulgences - you can actually calculate your carbon sins online and they’ll gladly tell you how much money to send them (all major credit cards accepted) to assuage your conscience.

His saved his harshest criticism for the radical policies that the global warm-mongers are now enacting, the same policies being pushed by Rudd and Wong.

Three years ago, in the name of saving the planet, California adopted the most radically restrictive legislation anywhere on the planet, including AB32, which requires a 25 per cent reduction in man-made carbon dioxide emissions by 2020.

Until last year, McClintock said, Californian’s unemployment rate tracked the national figures, but since January, 2007, California began a radical divergence from the national figures and is now in double digits and nearly 40 per cent higher than the national unemployment rate.

Those numbers won’t mean much to the current federal ALP leadership because it is a clone of the dysfunctional NSW model - obdurate, ignorant and inflexible.

But as the numbers of jobless in Australia soar to levels not seen since the last federal Labor administration, driven by Rudd’s expensive and meaningless emissions trading system and its union-friendly industrial relations laws, the Opposition should make the running on behalf of those whose jobs Labor will kill.
