Hey Dad! Get your hands out of my pants !!!!!
I did not lie to save my husband, says Robyn Gardiner, wife of Hey Dad! actor Robert Hughes

THE celebrity agent wife of Hey Dad! actor Robert Hughes was accused of “lying” in a heated exchange with the prosecution as she defended
her husband against a series of child sex offences.
Robyn Gardiner, whose clients include Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, spent five hours denying the allegations made against her partner of almost
40 years in the the District Court yesterday.
Hughes, 65, has pleaded not guilty to 11 child sex offences involving five complainants in the 1980s and 1990.
Ms Gardiner said the man who played the popular character of Martin Kelly did not expose himself while wearing a sarong, never swam in a
pool naked and did not touch a friend’s daughter inappropriately during parties at the girl’s house.
“Absolutely not,” she said repeatedly. When a neighbour ignored her on the street in 1986, she said she asked the woman what she had done
to offend her.
The court heard that the woman didn’t answer her question and she later found out it was because her daughter had drawn a penis and said
she had seen one “at Robert’s house”, the jury heard.
Under cross-examination Crown prosecutor Gina O’Rourke disputed Ms Gardiner’s version of events.
Ms O’Rourke said during the street confrontation when Ms Gardiner had asked what was wrong, the woman replied “why don’t you ask your
husband” to which Ms Gardiner allegedly said “we need to get him some help”.
But she repeatedly denied saying this.
“I’m under oath here, she did not say those words,” Ms Gardiner said.
She said her husband was shocked to find out the family had gone to police.
“I’ll never forget it, he kept saying what, what, what?,” Ms Gardiner said.
The alleged victim’s mother had told the court that Hughes was molesting her child during sleepovers at his house and the family decided to
move suburbs instead of pursuing the case with police.
Ms Gardiner also told the court that she ended a friendship with the mother of another alleged victim after the woman hit on her during a boat house holiday.
When Ms Gardiner could not remember where on her body the woman had touched her, Ms O’Rourke said: “You don’t know because you are lying.”
“I’m not lying,” Ms Gardiner said.
The alleged victim’s mother said their friendship ended because her daughter had confessed that Hughes was molesting her in her bedroom while he was at their home for parties.
Ms Gardiner has continued her successful Surry Hills-based business since the allegations against her husband were first made public in 2010.
Blanchett gave a heartfelt mention to Ms Gardiner after winning the Best Actor Oscar this month. “To my agent in Australia, Robyn Gardiner, I love you so very much,” Blanchett said.
Ms Gardiner’s business RGM Artists represents big names like comedian Chris Lilley, Tropfest founder and film director John Polson, actors Rose Byrne and Ryan Kwantena, and TV personalities Amanda Keller and Andrew Denton.
Australia's Progressive Leftists forced to look concerned about Paedophilia but could not help but throw in a Muslim Taxi Driver Joke at the end... so funny is child abuse.
Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow scandal might risk Oscar for Cate Blanchett.....boo hoo
“If there is a yardstick to measure cultural decay, the child pornography epidemic must register.”

Sydney's Occupied Territories Erupt as Harmony Day Ambassadors shoot two
Two men injured in double-shooting in Merrylands
LeighVanden Broeke
The Daily Telegraph
March 27 2014
A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged over the incident
A FATHER of two is fighting for his life after being shot outside his western Sydney home following a bungled armed robbery which also saw a teenager shot four times the stomach.
About 10.50pm last night 19-year-old Rhynal Nand and two friends had diven to Lansdowne St for a mobile phone transaction initiated on the internet only to be ambushed by a group.
One of the offenders got into the car with the teen and allegedly shot him four times in the stomach while three other offenders remained outside.
As the teen sped away in his car to a nearby service station the offenders drove up the street and were confronted by Graeme Hunt.
The 62-year-old interstate truck driver, who has lived in Merrylands for 30 years, was then shot in the chest with neighbors rushing outside to assist him.
A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said he saw the wound in Mr Hunt’s chest and attempted to keep him calm while his wife called Triple-0.
“I heard arguing down the street and then I heard about four to five gun shots,” the neighbour said.
“I looked over and I saw my neighbour laying on the floor. I run over and ask if he’s hurt, he thought he had been tasered and he was in a state of confusion.
“I agreed with him that they were taser shots but I knew they were gun shots. I looked at his chest at his upper right torso and I’ve seen blood and his shirt was ripped.
“I looked up the shirt and I saw a bullet hole.”
Neigbours today described Mr Hunt as “a gentleman who kept to himself”.
Another neighbour said Mr Hunt, an interstate truck driver who has lived in Merrylands for 30 years, was more concerned about not scaring her as he lay on the roadway after being shot. She said he was worried about making sure she was all right instead of being concerned about his own wounds.
“The gunshots were very loud,” the woman, who did not want to be named, said. “We were pinned down inside and stayed down until we heard the car speed off, it was very scary.
“I came out and I called Triple-0 and gave the phone to my husband and I said to Graeme ‘Are you ok?’ and he said ‘I’m okay, don’t worry’.
“He was speaking but he was in a state of confusion.
“He didn’t exactly know what was happening. He didn’t want us to worry about him.”
Police said the two injured men were rushed to Westmead Hospital.
Mr Hunt suffered a gunshot wound to the side of his chest and underwent surgery overnight. he is listed as being in a critical but unstable condition.
The 19-year-old suffered four gunshot wounds to his abdomen and arm and is in a stable condition.
Detective Superintendent Scott Whyte said the offenders made away with goods valued at only a small value.
“They’ve planned an armed robbery,” he said. “I’d act with extreme caution if I was asked to conduct a transaction in a residential street in the middle of the night.”
Det-Supt Whyte labelled the double-shooting a disgrace.
“I can tell you now we will be throwing every resource we possibly can to get these three outstanding - for want of a better term - grubs,’’ he said.
Police arrested a 27-year-old man and raided his home on Lansdowne St this morning. He is currently assisting police with their enquiries.
The arrested man’s father said he was asleep during the shooting and that police had taken his son’s clothes as part of their investigation.
“They took his clothes. I was sleeping (during the shooting),” he said.
Detectives from Rosehill Local Area Command and officers attached to Operation Talon have been tasked with investigating the shootings.
Operation Talon was formed in August last year to combat public place shootings in Sydney.

Rupert Murdoch’s global media empire,Lachlan and James return.
Murdoch moves signal vision for the future
Terry McCrann
Herald Sun
March 26 2014
THE return of the Murdoch siblings to the very top of Rupert Murdoch’s global media empire is a truly stunning move.
It signals in the most clear-cut and public fashion the nomination of a direct successor to Murdoch, for the first time in his 60-plus years as absolute master of his News Corp - and now also 21st Century Fox - domains.
That successor is his eldest son Lachlan; but critically, in partnership with his brother James.
Lachlan takes the senior role, but as a non-executive.
LACHLAN TO JOIN HIS DAD AT TOP OF NEWS
McCRANN: MURDOCH MOVES SIGNAL VISION FOR THE FUTURE
He becomes co-chairman with his father of both companies in the empire - the main one, Fox, centred in New York, which covers the US TV and entertainment operations; and the separate News Corp, which holds all the print media businesses in Australia, the United Kingdom and the US.
Murdoch senior remains the clear CEO of Fox.
He is executive co-chairman, Lachlan is non-executive co-chairman.
And the same applies at News Corp. This is the first time since he assumed the role and title of chairman more than 20 years ago that Murdoch has shared it.
The signal is unambiguous.
The second part of the appointments was that of Murdoch’s younger son, James, to the role of co-chief operating officer (one down from CEO) with the top non-Murdoch in the empire, Chase Carey, of the main Fox company.
Unlike Lachlan’s roles, this is a hands-on executive position.
Also unlike Lachlan’s appointments, that of James is only to Fox.
Robert Thomson remains sole CEO of the print company, News Corp.
The clear signal is of a succession built on a partnership between Lachlan and James, with Lachlan as non-executive chairman and James as the future CEO.
Although clearly driven by Murdoch senior, the signal is also of this being agreed to by the boards of both companies. And by Carey, who has become critically important in Fox’s success.
Lachlan’s move also has major implications for media in Australia. It immediately opens up the question of the future of Network Ten; and of other companies more widely.
He steps down as non-executive - actually close to being a de facto executive - chairman of Ten and as a director. But for the moment, remains one of its major shareholders.
There has been speculation that when the media ownership rules are relaxed - if they are - News Corp might move to buy Ten.
A key reason would be to give the partly News Corp-owned Foxtel direct access to key sports programming.
But the exact opposite remains possible: the Murdochs quitting Ten.
The media business has just suddenly got very, very interesting.
INK IN HIS VEINS, JUST LIKE HIS FATHER Damon Kitney
LACHLAN Murdoch, like his father, has ink in his veins.
After years of investing in television, radio and even Indian cricket teams, Murdoch is back at the helm of something he loves — a newspaper company.
Not since his time at the New York Post, where he was publisher from 2002 to 2005 and increased its circulation by more than 40 per cent, has he has been at the pointy end of the board table of a company with significant print media assets.
Now, as non-executive co-chairman of News Corp, he wants to drive the company’s transition to a digital future. Many credit him for News Corp’s 60 per cent investment in digital real estate portal REA more than a decade ago, which has delivered big profits.
As non-executive co-chairman of 21st Century Fox, he will oversee key assets he ran in the mid-2000s, such as the Fox network of television stations in the US.
That was before his famous decision to flee New York in 2005, when he resigned from executive roles in the company to return to Australia to set up his private investment vehicle, Illyria. He has continued to serve on the News Corp and 21st Century Fox boards.
Back in Sydney, he bought a 9 per cent stake in regional free-to-air TV station Prime Media in 2009, selling it for a profit in 2012. The same year he spent $110 million buying half of DMG Radio Australia, operator of the Nova radio network, taking full ownership three years later. Nova has become Australia’s number one national FM network.
In 2006, Rupert Murdoch said he wanted one of his children to succeed him. “I think that’s a natural desire,” he said. “They’ve got to prove themselves too.”
Today his wish is one step closer.

Banjo Paterson --------- Lost
Lost
`He ought to be home,' said the old man, `without there's something amiss.
He only went to the Two-mile -- he ought to be back by this.
He WOULD ride the Reckless filly, he WOULD have his wilful way;
And, here, he's not back at sundown -- and what will his mother say?
`He was always his mother's idol, since ever his father died;
And there isn't a horse on the station that he isn't game to ride.
But that Reckless mare is vicious, and if once she gets away
He hasn't got strength to hold her -- and what will his mother say?'
The old man walked to the sliprail, and peered up the dark'ning track,
And looked and longed for the rider that would never more come back;
And the mother came and clutched him, with sudden, spasmodic fright:
`What has become of my Willie? -- why isn't he home to-night?'
Away in the gloomy ranges, at the foot of an ironbark,
The bonnie, winsome laddie was lying stiff and stark;
For the Reckless mare had smashed him against a leaning limb,
And his comely face was battered, and his merry eyes were dim.
And the thoroughbred chestnut filly, the saddle beneath her flanks,
Was away like fire through the ranges to join the wild mob's ranks;
And a broken-hearted woman and an old man worn and grey
Were searching all night in the ranges till the sunrise brought the day.
And the mother kept feebly calling, with a hope that would not die,
`Willie! where are you, Willie?' But how can the dead reply;
And hope died out with the daylight, and the darkness brought despair,
God pity the stricken mother, and answer the widow's prayer!
Though far and wide they sought him, they found not where he fell;
For the ranges held him precious, and guarded their treasure well.
The wattle blooms above him, and the blue bells blow close by,
And the brown bees buzz the secret, and the wild birds sing reply.
But the mother pined and faded, and cried, and took no rest,
And rode each day to the ranges on her hopeless, weary quest.
Seeking her loved one ever, she faded and pined away,
But with strength of her great affection she still sought every day.
`I know that sooner or later I shall find my boy,' she said.
But she came not home one evening, and they found her lying dead,
And stamped on the poor pale features, as the spirit homeward pass'd,
Was an angel smile of gladness -- she had found the boy at last.

Criminal gangs targeting children in state care Paedophilia Ring
Criminal gangs targeting children in state care
ABC
BY THE NATIONAL REPORTING TEAM'S DAN OAKES
March 12, 2014,
Organised gangs of men are sexually exploiting children in out-of-home care and enticing them into trading sex for money, drugs and alcohol.
An ABC investigation has found children as young as 12 are being exploited by the men.
Some of the children have been transported between towns and even interstate, while the ABC has also been told that some abuse has been filmed by paedophiles.
It is understood that police have identified between 30 and 40 children who are living in Department of Human Services residential care that may have been exploited in this fashion in the past 18 months, but the number could be higher.
The suburbs around Dandenong are believed to be an area of particular concern to police and the department.
Police have found it difficult to charge the perpetrators, as the victims, many of whom come from traumatic backgrounds, are reluctant to give statements implicating their abusers whether through fear, a mistrust of authority or a belief that they are not actually being abused.
The Department of Human Services and Victoria Police have spent two years working on a new approach to tackling the issue, which revolves around better sharing of information and educating workers on how to recognise the signs of sexual exploitation.
Police are also practising disruptive policing.
This can mean charging the abusers with drug or property offences to bring them into the criminal justice system and keep them away from their victims.
Staff from the department have also been embedded in the police sex crimes unit.
"What we would say is that these young people are not competent to make a decision, and using that word 'prostitution' implies that they are making a lifestyle choice, working in the sex industry," the department's chief practitioner, Robyn Miller, told the ABC.
"They are children, they are young people, they have this history of trauma. They are not competent to make that decision.
"It is abuse and we name it that and we have a zero tolerance.
"Our whole approach has been to raise consciousness within police and with carers that this is not adolescent behaviour, it is not experimentation, it is sexual exploitation and it is a form of abuse."
Men would choose a girl to have sex with
In one case that did go to court, a number of men in Shepparton were charged with child sex and prostitution offences after having sex with girls in return for cigarettes, cash and shopping trips.
At the plea hearing of the ringleader, Emran Dad, in 2012, the court heard that he gave a 13-year-old girl a pack of cigarettes in exchange for sex.
Another girl, 16, said Dad would contact her via Facebook, then drive her to the house of a friend of his.
The girl said other girls were at the house and that men would then turn up and choose a girl to have sex with.
She said they would be paid about $200 each time this happened, depending on the sex acts they would perform.
She said Dad would receive a separate $150 payment for organising it.
"The young people that we work with have experienced such loss and grief and pain that they are really vulnerable to people giving them attention, and these offenders are expert manipulators," Ms Miller said.
"They are disgusting in the way that they entrap our young people, so they will use social media in an expert way and will befriend, so it's like they will pretend to be something they are not."
In a statement, Victoria Police said there had been a number of successful prosecutions for exploitation offences of this nature and that there were ongoing investigations.
The State Opposition's Jenny Mikakos says there must be an investigation.
"There needs to be a thorough inquiry into how this has happened," she said.
But Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge says the exploitation precedes the current Government.
"It's only the Coalition Government that has responded comprehensively," she said.
She says 2,000 police, child protection and care workers have been trained disrupt the exploitation of children.

BY THE NATIONAL REPORTING TEAM'S DAN OAKES

Organised gangs of men are sexually exploiting children in out-of-home care and enticing them into trading sex for money, drugs and alcohol.
An ABC investigation has found children as young as 12 are being exploited by the men.
Some of the children have been transported between towns and even interstate, while the ABC has also been told that some abuse has been filmed by paedophiles.
It is understood that police have identified between 30 and 40 children who are living in Department of Human Services residential care that may have been exploited in this fashion in the past 18 months, but the number could be higher.
The suburbs around Dandenong are believed to be an area of particular concern to police and the department.
Police have found it difficult to charge the perpetrators, as the victims, many of whom come from traumatic backgrounds, are reluctant to give statements implicating their abusers whether through fear, a mistrust of authority or a belief that they are not actually being abused.
The Department of Human Services and Victoria Police have spent two years working on a new approach to tackling the issue, which revolves around better sharing of information and educating workers on how to recognise the signs of sexual exploitation.
Police are also practising disruptive policing.
This can mean charging the abusers with drug or property offences to bring them into the criminal justice system and keep them away from their victims.
Staff from the department have also been embedded in the police sex crimes unit.
"What we would say is that these young people are not competent to make a decision, and using that word 'prostitution' implies that they are making a lifestyle choice, working in the sex industry," the department's chief practitioner, Robyn Miller, told the ABC.
"They are children, they are young people, they have this history of trauma. They are not competent to make that decision.
"It is abuse and we name it that and we have a zero tolerance.
"Our whole approach has been to raise consciousness within police and with carers that this is not adolescent behaviour, it is not experimentation, it is sexual exploitation and it is a form of abuse."
Men would choose a girl to have sex with
In one case that did go to court, a number of men in Shepparton were charged with child sex and prostitution offences after having sex with girls in return for cigarettes, cash and shopping trips.
At the plea hearing of the ringleader, Emran Dad, in 2012, the court heard that he gave a 13-year-old girl a pack of cigarettes in exchange for sex.
Another girl, 16, said Dad would contact her via Facebook, then drive her to the house of a friend of his.
The girl said other girls were at the house and that men would then turn up and choose a girl to have sex with.
She said they would be paid about $200 each time this happened, depending on the sex acts they would perform.
She said Dad would receive a separate $150 payment for organising it.
"The young people that we work with have experienced such loss and grief and pain that they are really vulnerable to people giving them attention, and these offenders are expert manipulators," Ms Miller said.
"They are disgusting in the way that they entrap our young people, so they will use social media in an expert way and will befriend, so it's like they will pretend to be something they are not."
In a statement, Victoria Police said there had been a number of successful prosecutions for exploitation offences of this nature and that there were ongoing investigations.
The State Opposition's Jenny Mikakos says there must be an investigation.
"There needs to be a thorough inquiry into how this has happened," she said.
But Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge says the exploitation precedes the current Government.
"It's only the Coalition Government that has responded comprehensively," she said.
She says 2,000 police, child protection and care workers have been trained disrupt the exploitation of children.
