A MEMORIAL fund has been set up to help the grieving family of Detective Inspector Bryson Anderson.
Donations will go to Police Legacy for the financial support of Inspector Anderson's wife and three children, aged 15, 12 and 10.
His death has left police officers and the community in a state of shock, with people extending their sympathies to his wife and children, said NSW Police Association president Scott Weber.
Latest: Mother and son charged with Inspector Anderson's murder
"Losing a member of the police family is always difficult, and losing a husband and a father even more so,'' Mr Weber said.
"This Christmas, three children will have no father, a wife no husband, only because Inspector Anderson was doing his job and working to make NSW a better place.''
Mr Weber said Inspector Bryson's death while trying to settle a neighbourhood dispute had shaken and saddened all police officers.
"It is unfortunately a horrible and stark reminder of the inherent dangers and risks involved in police work, and that so many men and women put their lives on the line every single day serving their community and trying to
make NSW a safer place,'' Mr Weber said.
All donations are tax-deductable and can be made at any bank.

"Muslims are now like Don Quixote tilting at windmills in a world they no longer understand."
Once were warriors:
Why Islam failed Muslims
By: Ohmyrus (appx 2005)
I got the idea for the title of this article from a movie I watched – “Once were Warriors”. The movie highlights the social problems of the Maoris. Most of you probably have not seen the show because the movie was made in New Zealand.
Now lets turn our attention to something more serious. Islam was immensely successful in the first few centuries of its birth. It spread like wildfire from Spain to Pakistan. The success was due to the fact that Islam is a warrior religion - the last of its kind today. But the qualities and ethos that led to success are also some of the reasons for its current failure. Today Muslims are among the poorest and most backward people in the world.
Lets take a look at some Islamic beliefs that make no sense unless you realise that Islam was designed to support a war machine. Firstly there is the emphasis of heavenly rewards for its fallen warriors. Just as the ferocious Vikings believed that brave fallen warriors go to Valhalla, Muslims believe that those who are killed in a Holy War (Jihad) go to heaven where they will be rewarded with 72 virgins.
For the conquerors who survived the war, they will get booty and again girls. So either way they win. It is useful for a commander to have brave warriors who do not fear death. Besides this, Muslims are also discouraged from fraternizing with non-Muslims.
("You may (and must) curse...he Infidel ")
The Koran tells Muslims not to take Christians and Jews as friends and also says that Idolaters are filthy. Contempt for non-Muslims lead to hate. Hate is a useful emotion to cultivate in your warriors. Compassion and empathy for the “other” do not make willing warriors.
Another martial value that Islam promotes is discipline. It does this in many ways. Firstly, authority is centralized in one person - Mohammed and later his successors. There is no separation of church and state - or should I say mosque and state. This makes sure that there is no opposition. The Roman emperors too made sure that they were unchallenged by appointing themselves Pontifex Maximus (Chief Priest). This is in sharp contrast to medieval European kings whose ambitions were often opposed by the church.
Next, Islam is highly ritualistic and many rituals and practices appear to a modern person to be pointless. For example, out of the five pillars of Islam, four of them are ritualistic and in themselves do not do any material good. Praying five times a day, declaring Mohammed to be a prophet, going to Mecca to walk round and round the Black Stone and fasting during Ramadan do not by themselves make this a happier, kinder and more prosperous world. The only one of the five pillars that does some good to mankind is the giving of the zakat - alms for the poor. However, this alms giving must be only for Muslims or it does not count. Therefore it benefits only a fifth of mankind.
Would it not be better for the Grand Designer of Islam (whoever that might be) to declare the five pillars to contain prohibitions against murder, theft, adultery and encouragements to perform kindness and assistance to the unfortunate people of the world? Besides these five pillars, Islam has countless other rituals and practices. These include the growing of beards, which hand to use to wash your private parts, which shoe to put on first, what types of body hair you are allowed to remove and so on. Some of these practices and rituals appear meaningless to me but on further examination there is a purpose to them.
The trick is to stop thinking that Islam, like other religions, was designed primarily to uplift humanity from barbarism by making us kinder, more forgiving and so on. It was designed instead to support a war machine. Islamic rituals and practices are designed at least partly to induce discipline and to unite Islam’s early followers who were drawn from many tribes. Lets take a look at the requirement to pray five times a day, facing Mecca.
By praying five times a day, Muslims are reminded to submit to God 5 times a day. By facing Mecca, they are reminded of Arabia and to subtly get Muslims to identify themselves with Arabia. That is also why they insist that you cannot understand the Koran fully unless you know Arabic. Prayers are to be made in Arabic. That is why there are so many Arab wannabes among non-Arab Muslims. This is also why to this day, Muslims are a potential fifth column in western countries. Their loyalty is often to their Ummah and not to the state they live in. Loyalty to their nation state is weak.
Rituals are important as brainwashing tools to instill discipline and loyalty.
Islam's focus on rituals remind me of the rituals in the military. Every morning you have a flag raising ceremony. You salute the officers. You must all be clean shaven and wear the same clothes. You sing patriotic songs. Soldiers perform all manner of rituals designed to promote loyalty, bravery and obedience.
Performing Islam's seemingly meaningless rituals is an affirmation that they do not question the will of God. In practice this meant that they do not question Mohammed and his successors. This is really good military discipline and is something all military leaders want.
Now, lets turn our attention to the issue of apostasy for this is an important way in which Islam imposes discipline. As we all know, Islam is the only religion that insists that apostates be put to death. Muslims equate apostasy as treachery. For others, you are a true Christian, Buddhist or Hindu, only if you truly believe. Threatening people with death does not change what they believe in their hearts and is thus pointless.
This Muslim punishment only makes sense if you imagine yourself as a military commander of an army drawn from many tribes and religions (before conversion). An apostate is seen as someone who wants to defect to the enemy. Thus once again, Islamic teaching only make sense if you view Islam not so much as a religion like others but as a tool for Arab imperialism.
There is another thing that I should mention. According to the Koran and Hadiths, Muslims are allowed to have up to four wives and an unlimited number of slave girls. Having multiple wives actually gave a society constantly warring with its neighbours a military advantage over those that practice monogamy.
War widows can find new husbands and thereby produce children. Women were valued chiefly for their procreation abilities to produce more warriors. Of course in all ancient societies, women were lowly valued but more so in a warlike one where the survival of the society depended on male warriors. This accounts for the extra low status Islam gave women.
But what worked well for a medieval war machine is disastrous for Muslims in the modern world. For the early Muslims, they quickly gained wealth and power after they burst out of their poverty stricken Arabian Peninsula. The Arab war machine was supported by the blind obedience, brotherhood, courage, hatred and high birth rates inspired by Islam. But these same qualities have locked modern Muslims into poverty and often violence.
Without separation of mosque and state, it is difficult to make reforms. Islam is described by its followers as a complete way of life. This means that the ancient detailed instructions have been written down for Muslims to follow in all aspects of life for all time. This reminds me of the specialists and generalists of nature.
Some species like the Koala bear are specialists. They have adapted very well to a certain type of environment – the eucalyptus forests of Australia. But they are vulnerable if there is a change in environment. Generalists on the other hand do not evolve special advantages to thrive in any one environment.
Man is a generalist and can be found living in deserts as well as the frozen ice of the tundra. Had we specialized by growing blubber like the whales, we might thrive very well in the tundra but we can never live in deserts.
Islam is like the specialists. It prospered because its ethos makes it very successful as a medieval war machine when men fought with swords, bows and spears. But these same values make Muslims ill-equipped in an industrial and now post industrial world.
The emphasis on jihad where stained soldiers of Allah are rewarded with virgins in heaven may make great warriors but contribute to suicide bombers and intractable wars against unbelievers.
Conflicts with Muslims seem so hard to resolve as there is a never-ending stream of volunteers to fight in hopes of attaining their places in heaven. There can be no moderates when it comes to going to heaven. Inciting hatred for non-believers does not help the resolution of conflicts. Such thinking is bound to get a reaction from the non-believers they come into contact with.
The desire for war cannot be conducive for economic growth. This is doubly disastrous for Muslims because as I shall later explain, their religion retards economic progress in many ways. War coupled with economic weakness spells disaster. One of the driving force for economic growth is technology. While Islam can create disciplined soldiers, it cannot create good scientists.
As explained earlier, Islam’s ritualistic practices inculcate blind obedience among its followers and not questioning inquisitive minds. The way the Koran is taught in traditional Madrassahs is by memorization. This leaves no room for asking questions. The student is not encouraged to ask questions but only receives wisdom and learning from the teacher. Asking questions risks the student of being accused of blasphemy or unbelief.
The learning process is receptive and not interactive. Great scientists and philosophers do not come from such a passive environment. Human society progresses only if you have people willing to challenge orthodoxy. It should be noted that some of the greatest thinkers, scientists, philosophers, physicians and poets in Islam’s golden age were accused of blasphemy or apostasy. Bashshar Ibn Burd, Avicenna, Averroes, Al-Razi and Al-Ma’arri were most likely apostates.
Next we take a look at Islam’s subordination of women. This keeps them at home. Muslim women are not encouraged to work. It is a fact that women who stay at home tend to produce more children than those who go out to work. A high fertility rate may be a military advantage in an era when men fought with primitive weapons, but this is a handicap in the era of the internet.
Firstly, if women are regarded as second class citizens, there is less incentive to educate them properly. Semi-educated or illiterate mothers will find difficulty in educating their own children. Half the population is women. Therefore half the potential labour force is also women. You are not making full use of your human resources. This is not a new problem.
By Averroes time (1126 – 1198), the problem had manifested itself. Five hundred years after Mohammed, Muslim society already needed reforms. The practices that turned warring Arab tribes into world conquerors were already becoming outdated. This is what he said:
“Women are kept like domestic animals or house plants for purposes of gratification, of a very questionable character besides, instead of being allowed to take part in the production of material and intellectual wealth, and in the preservation of the same.”
Furthermore, a high fertility rate means more mouths to feed. While population pressures could be motivation for impoverished tribes to participate in wars of conquest in the 7th century, this is not an option today. You need industrial might to support a war machine today where wars are complex and expensive.
Today, a high fertility rate leads to poverty in third world countries and poverty stricken countries are advised by development experts to curb their population growth. Related to this issue of high fertility is the early age of some Muslim marriages. All agricultural societies tend to have early marriages. But other societies can be more easily persuaded to change with the times.
Muslim society, on the other hand, is more resistance to change. Thus recently, an Indian Muslim group wants exemption from a law requiring marriage partners to be at least 18 years old. This well-meaning law is aimed at allowing time for people to get a proper education before marriage and child-care.
The problem arises for the Muslim community because of Mohammed’s marriage to 9 year old Aisha. To accept this law would in their eyes be an insult to their holy Prophet. How can a Muslim accept a law, which would have criminalized their Prophet? This case again highlights how Islam is stuck in the 7th century.
Islam is a warrior’s creed that served its early followers well. From impoverished desert tribes, they rose to forge an empire in a short time that stretched from Spain to India. The ethos it engendered – brotherhood for believers, contempt and hatred for non-believers, belief in heavenly rewards for fallen warriors, a high fertility rate (which requires the subordination of women), blind obedience – created formidable warriors.
But these same qualities are handicaps for Muslims in the age of the microchip. Today they lead to poverty, belligerency, war and defeat. Many Muslims look back with fondness to their days of glory and try to recover their former days by using the old methods. That is why there is today a rising tide of Islamic fundamentalism across the Muslim world. They are bewildered at their weakness and look for conspiracy theories. Muslims think their failure is due to some Jewish or American plot not realizing that failure comes from within themselves. They are out of touch with reality.
Once were warriors, Muslims are now like Don Quixote tilting at windmills in a world they no longer understand.

Oprah Winfrey's Australian Tour paying off with increase in American Tourists to Australia
Oprah effect pays off with rise in US tourist visiting Australia
Angela Saurine, National Travel Reporter
Daily Telegraph
December 06, 2012 12:00am
OPRAH Winfrey's visit to Australia is finally paying off, with the growth in American tourists at its highest level since the Sydney Olympics.
After a drop last year - attributed to the global financial crisis - the number of US visitors rose nearly four per cent to around 472,000 people in the year to October.
The record for American tourists was 480,000 in 2000, which was nearly 18 per cent higher than the year before, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics figures.
"You do these things and you want them to have an impact but we have to give them time,'' Tourism Australia managing director Andrew McEvoy said.
"It's never one thing but we said at the time this was about the time frame it would take for people to fall in love with the idea of a trip, plan a trip, convince their friends and family and book a trip.
"It's not just Oprah though, I think the marketing the state tourism organisations have done with us and the airlines has also helped.''
Destinations visited by Oprah have also reported a boost in numbers.
Ayers Rock Resort, which has also just seen the completion of the $30 million refurbishment of its Sails in the Desert hotel and conference centre, Uluru Meeting Place, has seen 26 per cent rise in the number of US visitors so far this financial year.
"We thought that we would get an increase but the extent surprised us,'' Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia sales, marketing and distribution executive general manager Ray Stone said.
Hamilton Island spokeswoman Sophie Baker said US visitors at the luxury resort qualia, where Oprah stayed, were up 10 per cent last financial year and on track to be up 20 per cent this financial year.
"When you're chatting to American guests they ask about where Oprah visited and try to recreate what she did,'' she said.
"They will go to the Wildlife Park and want to hold the koala that Oprah held.''
Oprah visited Australia in December 2010 and four shows were broadcast in the US the following month before being repeated in March.
A survey of 500 US travellers last October found 73 per cent had visited recently or booked a trip in the coming year had been influenced by Oprah.
Overall, Australia welcomed a three per cent growth in international visitors in the year til October.
The biggest growth continued to be from China at 16 per cent followed by Russia at 15 per cent and the United Arab Emirates at 13 per cent, according to the ABS arrivals and departures figures for the year until October.
While Tourism Australia launched its latest campaign in China earlier this year, Mr Mc Evoy said the US remained a key focus as part of a balanced portfolio approach to its international marketing activities.
The biggest falls in visitors came from Israel at 18 per cent, Brunei at 16 per cent and New Caledonia which fell nearly nine per cent.

Detective Inspector Bryson Anderson, 45, was fatally attacked moments after he and a colleague arrived at a rural property at Oakville, near Windsor, after a callout about a man firing a bow and arrow over a fence.
Police were called about 2pm and, as a senior officer, Insp Anderson arrived a couple of hours later when the situation escalated following a stand-off. He had only been at the Scheyville Rd property for a few minutes when he was allegedly knifed from behind. It is understood he had walked over to the fence to speak with the neighbour on the other side, when a 19-year-old man allegedly attacked him.
Earlier reports had wrongly said he was struck with an axe.
Insp Anderson's colleague's panicked calls for help, as his superior lay injured, were heard across the police radio network.
Senior police said the colleague tried desperately to render assistance to his dying partner but he lapsed into cardiac arrest.
With no time to wait for an ambulance helicopter, paramedics rushed Insp Anderson by road to Hawkesbury Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione rushed to the hospital shortly afterwards, where Insp Anderson's distraught wife and three children had gathered.
Back at the crime scene, a 19-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman, believed to be a mother and her son, were arrested and taken to Windsor police station for questioning.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal the feuding neighbours had been involved in a long-standing dispute, which had featured on A Current Affair in August this year.
One of the neighbours, who is not under arrest, is well-known to police and is well known in the tow truck industry.
Other residents in the street said the bad blood between the men was well known.
Outside the hospital, Mr Scipione paid tribute to his fallen colleague.
"A veteran of the police force ... an excellent officer and a damn good bloke," he said.
"He was called to a dispute and at the scene suffered some serious injuries. He was pronounced deceased a short time after."
He said NSW had lost a dedicated, brave and skilled officer, who would have gone a long way in the job. "Insp Anderson worked for me as a young officer. He was a fine officer then, his tenacity his courage his wisdom and his strength stood him in very good stead to go much much further than he has," Mr Scipione said.
Insp Anderson was heavily involved in an investigation of alleged police inaction following the high-profile case of domestic violence victim Catherine Smith.
Ms Smith was found not guilty of attempting to murder her own husband after revelations she had suffered 20 years of terror at her husband's hands.
Insp Anderson appeared on ABC'S Australian Story describing Ms Smith as "tenacious" and "probably one of the most singularly determined people that I have ever met".
He also personally delivered a letter of apology to Ms Smith following her acquittal.
"It was a step that we could take to try and restore Catherine's faith in the New South Wales police," he told the ABC.
NSW Police Association president Scott Weber said the force has lost a colleague and a leader in their our organisation.
"He was a father, a brother and an incredibly well-respected officer," Mr Weber said.
He said it was incomprehensible to think an officer could attend a routine neighbourhood dispute, and never go home. "It just highlights the dangers police face everyday. I ask anyone tomorrow if they see a police officer pass on their condolences," he said.
A neighbour who knew Insp Anderson said he was a well-known cop who had worked in various stations throughout western Sydney.
"He'd been around the traps a bit, and for this to happen is really hard to understand. He must have let his guard down which is unlike him," the neighbour said.
It is the second officer to die on duty this year, following the death of senior constable David Rixon who was shot in the chest during a traffic stop in Tamworth.
Stone Age Satan Worshippers abduct and Rape 14 year old Girl
A Pakistani Christian girl forced to convert to Islam and raped
Pakistan Christian Post
December 5, 2012, 11:25 pm
A young Christian girl named, Asiya Masih, daughter of Francis Yaqoob, aged 14 years, was a resident of Chak no.198 EB, District Vihari. Francis Masih worked as a laborer in the fields of the landlords. Due to the poverty, Asiya Masih also helped her parents in the fields to earn some more money for the family.
On 11th November, 2012, she went to the fields to pick cotton flowers from the fields. The two culprits, Mohammad Javed and Mohammad Mumtaz who are the influential persons of their area, abducted her from the fields and took her to some unknown place. They took thumb impressions of Asiya Masih on different papers and forcibly converted her to Islam. They also raped her and tortured her for 11 days.
When Francis Masih came to know that Mohammad Javed and Mohammad Mumtaz had abducted his daughter, he made a complaint in the local police station but the police did not cooperate with him. Afterwards Javed and Mumtaz called Francis Masih and threatened him that if would contact the police, they would kill Asiya Masih. They also proposed Francis that if he wants his daughter back, then he would have to give them a written document that he would not take any police action.
Afterwards with the help of WVIP and Chaudhry Riaz Bashir, who is an influential Christian businessman, Francis Masih got his daughter back on the 22nd of November. But the Paish Imam of the local mosque has announced yesterday that as Asiya Masih was converted to Islam, she cannot live as a Christian again, if she did not follow the Religious customs of Islam, She and her family will face the consequences. He also announced that all eight Christian families of the village should be banished and their houses should be burnt. And today at 5:00 P.M they are holding a meeting of Muslim clerics in Chack No- 198/EB District Vihari . WVIP Team leader of South Punjab and Legal Advisor Mr. Lazar Allahraka is making every effort to help these Christian families as well Aisya Masih. The Executive Director of WVIP, Mr. Farrukh H. Saif Requested the international community to lift their voices for the defenseless Christian Girls and women in Pakistan.

THE Muslim activists behind the controversial billboards proclaiming Jesus was a "prophet of Islam" have launched a TV campaign to show the world their religion is about "peace and respect".
Called "I'm Muslim and proud", the $30,000 commercials - airing on Foxtel and SBS - aim to repair the religion's image in Australia.
Worried about negative public perceptions after the September riots in central Sydney, the My Peace organisation aims to show Australian Muslims are "just like everyone else - they love their family, contribute to the community and are proud Australians".
The "Jesus and Islam" message sparked outcry among some Christians when it appeared on billboards around Sydney.
Diaa Muhammad - who founded My Peace in 2011 to "build bridges between the Muslim and wider community" - hopes to energise Muslims with positive images so they saw themselves as proud members of Australian society.
"We hope this campaign enables the wider community to see us in a new light, to see that our values are closely matched and our beliefs are not that different," he said.
"Social media has enabled My Peace to connect with thousands of Australian Muslims."
Equating Jesus Christ,the Son of God,with a Syphilitic induced Sociopath,self confessed Paedophile,Slave Trader,Mass Murderer and Serial Rapist will not win this Blasphemer, Diaa Muhammad, many friends in the majority Judeo / Christian Australian population.
I am sure the Multicultural Industry will just love it, Diaa Muhammad's version of "Pisst Christ" if you like,smearing Jesus by association, with such filth as Muhammed and allh will I am sure win him and his co religionists many friends in the Labor Green Loon Government and its "Progressive" arts, education and media cheer squads.

CHRISTIANS in Sydney will have their core beliefs challenged by provocative advertisements due to appear on billboards and buses in the next month.
The ads, paid for by an Islamic group called MyPeace, will carry slogans such as ''Jesus: a prophet of Islam'', ''Holy Quran: the final testament'' and ''Muhammad: mercy to mankind''.
A phone number urges people to call to receive a free Koran and other Islamic literature.
“The Anglican Bishop of South Sydney, Rob Forsyth, said it was ''complete nonsense'' to say Jesus was a prophet of Islam. ''Jesus was not the prophet of a religion that came into being 600 years later.''
But the billboard was not offensive, he said. ''They've got a perfect right to say it, and I would defend their right to say it [but] … you couldn't run a Christian billboard in Saudi Arabia.''
Mr Mohamed said he hoped the billboards would encourage Christians and Muslims to find common ground. They were not intended to downgrade the significance of Jesus. ''We embrace him and say that he was one of the mightiest prophets of God.''
MyPeace plans to extend the campaign, funded by private donations, to television.
The Anglican Bishop of South Sydney, Rob Forsyth, said it was ''complete nonsense'' to say Jesus was a prophet of Islam. ''Jesus was not the prophet of a religion that came into being 600 years later.''
But the billboard was not offensive, he said. ''They've got a perfect right to say it, and I would defend their right to say it [but] … you couldn't run a Christian billboard in Saudi Arabia.''
The bishop said he would pay for billboards to counter those of MyPeace if he could afford it, and ''maybe the atheists should run their billboards as well''.
A spokesman for the Australian Islamic Mission, Siddiq Buckley, said the campaign would increase awareness of the positive facts of Islam. ''I would be looking at this as a good opportunity to explain what we mean.''
Siddiq Buckley
Clearly Mr Buckley and his co religionists prefer to live under the the manifestations of Judeo / Christianity founded by a Jew, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, than they do the manifestations of their “Islam” founded by their Infamous Paedophile Pirate,Slave Trader,Misogynist,Rapist,Mass Murderer and Polygamist called Mohammed.Why would this “Two Pound Pom” want to do to Australia,what his coreligionists have done to the Country he and many of his fellow English Men and Women Ran Away from ?
Australia: Devout Muslim Diaa Mohamed the “Bill Board Blasphemist” sharing the “real truth” of Islam.
Devout Muslim Diaa Mohamed sharing the 'real truth' of Islam
EXCLUSIVE by Nathan Klein
The Daily Telegraph
July 15, 2011 12:00AM
"MUSLIMS can be whingers and they tend to blame everyone but themselves for the way people view them."
They are the words of a devout Muslim man who is determined to show the real people behind the religion.
Television commercials aimed at improving the "concerning" way many Australians perceive Muslims will soon hit our screens.
They are the brainchild of mypeace.com.au - the same group of Muslims behind the "Jesus is a Prophet of Islam" billboards across the city. I guess Diaa Mohamed and his group are not yet prepared to go as far as their fellow Islamist’s in Israel and declare Jesus a SLAVE of allah, not yet anyway.
In the muslim area of Jerusalem, right next to the spot where Jesus Christ fell while carrying the cross, Glenn Beck comes across the following sign: Via. Bare Naked Islam
"A lot of the things we see on television are acts by extremists and radical Muslims. (according to Muslims and their apologists there is only about 100 million of them)
"That is not who we are."
The state government recently flagged new laws giving police the power to compel Muslim women to show their faces if they are suspected of committing an offence.
The move came after the case of Carnita Matthews, who was convicted and later acquitted of falsely accusing a police officer of trying to rip her niqab from her face when stopped for traffic offences.
The commercials - the first Islamic advertisement on free-to-air TV - are stage two of a plan to improve the way Muslims are viewed in Australia.
They will be unveiled at a $75-a-head dinner tonight featuring a guest appearance by Canadian Muslim rapper Boona Mohammed.
Organisers will also reveal the findings of a survey of more than 1000 people, commissioned by mypeace.com.au, which aims to educate all religions on the Islamic faith.
"When people understand other religions, only then can they accept them and have nothing to be concerned about," Mr Mohamed said.
Billboards preaching about Mohammed, Islam and the Koran have already started springing up around Sydney and the campaign features in ads on the back of more than 40 buses. As for his comment that "Muslims can be whingers", Mr Mohamed said: "A large part of that is, even though we have migrated well, we have kept who we are from Australians.

Australia:Dame Elisabeth Murdoch dies at 103
Dame Elisabeth Murdoch - a woman who touched so many lives
Andrew Rule
Herald Sun
December 05, 2012 11:34PM
DAME Elisabeth Murdoch has died, aged 103.
She passed away peacefully at her home Cruden Farm in Langwarrin.
The renowned community leader, charity worker, philanthropist and matriach of Australia's greatest media family will be mourned by countless thousands of Australians whose lives she has touched.

She is also survived by 77 living direct descendants, including five great-great grandchildren as well as other members of her large extended family.
Dame Elisabeth devoted her life to helping others.
She said it was the most important thing in life and the most rewarding.
"Be optimistic - and always think of other people before yourself," she said in an interview to mark her 100th birthday.
Born on February 8, 1909, in Melbourne, she went to school at St Catherine’s in Toorak before being sent to board at Clyde at Mt Macedon.
As Elisabeth Greene, aged 18, she featured as a debutante in Table Talk magazine, which was published by the Herald and Weekly Times Limited.
The photograph caught the eye of Keith Murdoch, influential editor and newspaperman and at 42, one of Melbourne’s most eligible bachelors.
After a fairytale romance they married on June 6, 1928, and they would have 24 years together before his death.
As a wedding present, Keith Murdoch gave his bride Cruden Farm, set on 54ha at Langwarrin.
Over the years the property became both the family home and an internationally famous garden which Dame Elisabeth opened to the public to raise millions of dollars for charity.
Dame Elisabeth constantly supported her husband and he became chairman of the Herald and Weekly Times Limited in 1942.
Her interest in the arts grew alongside his as he became president of the board of trustees which ran the National Gallery of Victoria, the State Library and the Museum until he put them into separate administrations.
Dame Elisabeth was the first woman trustee of the National Gallery of Victoria; chair of the committee which established the Victorian Tapestry Workshop; trustee and prime mover behind the establishment of the regional McLelland Gallery and a benefactor of organisations ranging from the Australian Ballet and Opera Australia to the Bell Theatre Company.
She was known to have helped at least 100 organisations directly.
But she also helped thousands of individuals, either with advice or by using her considerable influence and contacts.
Her greatest monuments are the Royal Children's Hospital and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute.
Lady Elisabeth, as she was then, threw herself into the work of the Royal Children's Hospital after the sudden death of Sir Keith in 1952.
Widowed at 43 and left to raise four children, she commuted to Melbourne almost daily from Cruden Farm to head the planning committee to relocate and build a new children's hospital at Parkville.
She was created a Dame the day the Queen opened the hospital.
Altogether, Dame Elisabeth would serve the hospital for 33 years, retiring as President. She was known ever since as the children's friend.
Her interest in the hospital never waned and she turned up at every Good Friday Appeal to greet volunteers and thank them for their efforts.
Peter Blunden, Victorian Managing Director (Editorial) said Dame Elisabeth was “part of the family” and that everyone at the Herald and Weekly Times was feeling “a deep sense of personal loss”.
“Dame Elisabeth involved herself in all our lives and with our newspapers,” he said. “She was part of the fabric of Melbourne and Victoria and did so much good in the community.”
News Limited CEO Kim Williams said all who work at News Limited in Australia mourned the loss of “an extraordinary national figure who inspired generations of Australians through her selfless devotion to helping others and by her leadership and her remarkable generosity in fostering both scientific research and the arts.
“We feel the loss intensely because she was the wife of Sir Keith Murdoch and mother of our chairman Rupert Murdoch, both towering figures in our national story and the builders of our own media heritage here at News.”
HWT board chairman Julian Clarke said Dame Elisabeth’s extraordinary contribution and generosity and warmth and hospitality would not be forgotten.
"History will long remember Dame Elisabeth Murdoch's extraordinary contribution and generosity to this State and the wider Australian community.
"Undoubtedly, Dame Elisabeth has been one of the great Australians whose intellect and keen interest in others, particularly their welfare, has endeared her to so many throughout her long and remarkable life.
"Dame Elisabeth has been an ever-present influence in our company and will be sadly missed by the many employees who knew her personally.
"We send our sincere condolences to her loving family."
