Diversity Martyrs Wanted Now : Idiot Marxist Pope calls on world to accept "diversity" If you believe in NOTHING you can believe in DIVERSITY

Some One Get this Marxist Bum out of the Vatican NOW!!!!

Pope Francis, laying out his hopes Wednesday for 2014, urged people to work for a world where everyone accepts each other’s differences and where enemies recognize that they are brothers.

“We are all children of one heavenly father, we belong to the same human family and we share a common destiny,” Francis said, speaking from his studio window overlooking St. Peter’s Square, jammed with tens of thousands of faithful, tourists and Romans.

If you object to the following images, get with the Pope's Diversity Program and just lay back and respect it, after all, All Cultures Religions Legal Systems Social Norms are Equal arn't they? according to the Pope they are, so get used to it.

You, your wife or daughter, son could be next on the expressions of Diversity Hit List 

We all know who this Marxist "Professional Peasant" Arse Clown is defending, apologising / facilitating for, and it is not Jews or Christians or CATHOLICS or those who believe in Democracy.

Sydney Australia : ENOUGH of the Alcohol Drug FuXXed fuled DOG PUNCH

Violence of Sydney's streets: enough is enough

Bruce McDougall,Peter Bodkin
The Daily Telegraph
January 2,2014

IT is extremely painful that once again we are reporting on a young man who has suffered severe head injuries from a king-hit punch during a night of celebration on the town.

As the latest unsuspecting victim - a teenager from Sydney's north - fights for his life in hospital, we can only imagine what suffering his family and those close to him are enduring.

These images are a glimpse into myriad lives that have been ruined and their families consigned to months and years of misery because of a single moment of madness. It is impossible to find reasons why such devastation should be inflicted and there is no silver bullet solution to ensure it never happens again.

KINGS CROSS STREET THAT HAS SEEN VIOLENCE BEFORE


TIME TO END THE STUPID CARNAGE ON OUR STREETS


TIM PRIEST: ENOUGH WITH THESE SLAPS ON THE WRIST


EDITORIAL: TAKE THE VIOLENT THUGS OFF OUR STREETS


But the photos give us cause to reflect on what we can do as a society to reduce the scourge of mindless violence that is wrecking so many Australian families and affecting those in the wider community whose job it is to pick up the pieces.

The fallout has a ripple effect and includes the nurses, doctors and hospital staff who turn up for work in a state of anxiety expecting that at some point in their shift they will be called on to treat victims of senseless and unnecessary violence.

Now it is time to say enough is enough, and take action to stop the violence on our streets and prevent any more young lives from being needlessly destroyed.

This New Year's Eve yet another young life was damaged, another family left devastated by another senseless act of violence driven at least in part by alcohol. The fact it happened in Victoria St, Kings Cross, only metres from the spot where another teen, Thomas Kelly, was attacked 18 months ago and after all the warnings of the dangers is simply awful.

Thomas died after he was king-hit by another young man while walking down Victoria St, the 18-year-old's head slamming into the concrete after the unprovoked attack. Just a week later Kelvin Kane, a 50-year-old cattle farmer from Kingscliff on the state's far north coast, died when allegedly king-hit outside a pub.

Michael McEwen, 23, survived but spent a week in an induced coma after he was punched and stomped on at Bondi Beach in the early hours of December 14. Michael's dad says his son was close to becoming "the next Thomas Kelly".

Triage nurses - those first to treat victims when they arrive at hospital bleeding or having lost consciousness from a fight - now use "king hit" as a description.

St Vincent's emergency department director Dr Gordian Fulde has no doubt alcohol is a factor in many of the assaults. "It is devastating in all directions - even for the staff in the emergency department or intensive care units - when a young life is wasted," Dr Fulde says.

"You can't be human to not be affected by it. The single punch and bloody nose are less common now while there are more Thomas Kelly king-hits in which brains are really injured and people die.

"They are tragedies that are totally unnecessary and totally preventable if someone hadn't got drunk and been in the wrong spot at the wrong time."

He believes the message is getting through to some and that police presence on the streets is making a difference.

But he says some people have become more violent and "animalistically violent" when they get drunk. "There is no reason for it - it's not a robbery or something between two groups that hate each other," he says.

"We have cleaners leaving work at night and they get bashed up for no reason. The community now has got to become upset about this. We should all pull together and say enough is enough."

He says a curb on the availability of alcohol after 3am and an extension to Sydney's danger spots of the trial that reduced violence in Newcastle must be considered

No Jab No Play ....Finally a Government who is prepared to Protect Australians from the Progressive Labor Green Loons and their Multicultural VOTE People

No jab, no play policy is now a reality across NSW

Jane Hansen
The Daily Telegraph

Labor's Green Loon supporters and their Anti Immunisation DEATH WISH

THE state's new laws aimed at raising immunisation rates have now come into effect in childcare centres across NSW.

As of January 1, a child cannot be enrolled at a childcare facility unless the parent or guardian provides an official record proving the child is fully immunised or an approved exemption is provided.

Health Minister Jillian Skinner said the law sent a clear message to parents that the health of children and the wider community needed to be protected: "The government is determined to protect our children from the devastating consequences of vaccine-preventable disease."

The change to the Public Health Act follows The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph's No Jab No Play campaign, which highlighted how many communities in NSW had vaccination rates which had fallen below 50 per cent.

While the national average for vaccination is 92 per cent, almost 80,000 Australian children are not vaccinated.

Research released by The National Health Performance Authority last year revealed vaccination rates in some suburbs like Mosman and the eastern suburbs had fallen below 85 per cent, lower than some third world countries.

Some pockets in northern NSW have vaccination rates at 43 per cent, leaving communities open to epidemics of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Australian Medical Association president Steve Hambleton applauded the new laws.

"The conscientious objectors are not the target of these laws, you can talk to them until you are blue in the face and they won't change their mind, it's to target parents who have not got around to it or are concerned and it will compel them to get quality advice from their doctor," Dr Hambleton said.

The national notifiable diseases surveillance system reveals a resurgence of measles, mumps and rubella in 2013.

There have been 140 cases of measles. The NNDSS found half the cases of measles were in people who were not vaccinated, and 35 per cent had unknown vaccination status.

Under the new laws, if children have a medical contraindication to vaccination, are on a recognised catch-up schedule for immunisation, or if the parents or guardians are reluctant to vaccinate on religious or other grounds, the parents or guardian will have to produce Commonwealth forms that have been completed by a GP or nurse immuniser before entrance into a childcare centre.

Better Late than Never, Australia must start rebuilding or previously first world health standards that were in place before the Labor Green Loon Progressives "Powers of the Crystal and Unicorn Urine " Healing Balms that are so revered by the Marxist Left as a way of culling their Herd.

Their ABC Humiliates Australia again,even New Years Eve is reduced to the lowest common denominator.

The fireworks were OK, the music was rubbish.
Their ABC coverage was as to be expected,like their political party,the Union/GetUp funded Labor Green Loon Co Party, Their ABC cannot help but F***k everything they touch.

To be fair it could have been that the host's were told that they were been broadcast live into Redfern, Mount Druitt,Balmain,Newtown and other inner city suburbs of Sydney and they simply could not stop showing off to their comrades, who, after all are their target audience.

To think that this garbage was broadcast throughout Asia and other world markets as been representative of Australia and Australians says all that needs to be said about Their ABC and the urgent need to disband it as soon as possible, If the Australian Council of Trade Unions, GetUp, Australian Labor Party and their Green Loon Co Party want a National TV and Radio Broadcasting they and their cabal of Marxist fellow travellers in the "ARTS" and Australian Film and TV Industry can pay for it. 

Ditto for Their VOTE People's SBS TV and Radio network


Angry viewers have vented their outrage at coverage of New Year's Eve on ABC1

Bruce Mc Dougalll
The Daily Telegraph
January 1,2014

THE ABC's coverage of the New Year's Eve celebrations has been slammed as a "train wreck" amid a barrage of complaints about tasteless jokes, the lampooning of public figures and claims some on the show appeared to be affected by alcohol.

The three-and-a-half hour telecast leading up to the midnight fireworks was littered with references to penises, vomit and offensive comments about Prime Minister Tony Abbott, numerous other Australian politicians, the Pope and even the Duchess of Cambridge.

Last night's broadcast on @ABCTV of Sydney's NYE fireworks dubbed a "train wreck" and "diabolical". Very poor. http://t.co/tgjWPxexuH

— Barry Walmsley (@bnwalmsley) December 31, 2013

 In a segment reviewing events of 2013 references were made about Mr Abbott having

"duck feet" and "cocktail frankfurts" as a photo was displayed of the PM wearing budgie smugglers on the beach.

Julia Gillard, Kevin Rudd, Simon Crean, Wayne Swan and Scott Morrison also came in for treatment during the politically-loaded broadcast from Lord Mayor Clover Moore's New Year's Eve party on the Opera House forecourt.

I'm going to be blunt about @ABCTV's #NYE coverage - Some people need to be pulled over coals for drinking on air. Not professional at all.

— Kate Doak (@katedoak) December 31, 2013
At one stage in a discussion featuring Chaser stars Chas Licciardello and Andrew Hansen, Channel Nine personality Richard Wilkins was compared to a block of wood.

Compere Stephanie Brantz had to warn her co-host Lawrence Mooney that the show was "moving into inappropriate land" and later indicated she was trying to steer the coverage back on to safer ground.

When Mooney asked Brantz if he was going to get a "cheeky pash" from her at midnight she rebuffed him with a firm "No".

Jeez @ABCTV you could have given us something more entertaining on NYE. Like the test pattern.

— Neil Watt (@neil_watt) December 31, 2013
Roving reporter Kayne Tremills also requested a "pash" from a female reveller and at one stage asked a child in the crowd: "Is your bum tired?"

The insensitive coverage drew a large number of complaints to The Daily Telegraph, to Radio 2GB and online from shocked and outraged viewers.

One viewer said she had watched the "first ever politically biased presentation of our fireworks".

The Twittersphere also lit up with angry comments such as, "If the ABC hosts New Year's Eve again this year it will be the last New Year's Eve I ever see, I think."

Another said: "ABC coverage of Sydney New Year's Eve absolutely diabolical! Bring back channel 9, 7or 10! One song every hour and crap commentary _ just awful."

Was in other room and thought the TV had broken listening the din coming from @ABCTV. What time did they all get on it? November? #nye

I am not drunk, but this #ABC1 coverage has become surreal. People jumping on the couch, discussing the sobriety of a purple muppet. #NYESYD

— Susan Bee (@subege) December 31, 2013
One complainant described the show as "just sicko garbage".

"It ruined the night for those who could not make it out to a vantage point.

"Dumb, sexist, political and shallow … like we are all bogons if we want to have fun on this night …"

There was even a joke about drink drivers avoiding police by using backstreets to get home.

A spokeswoman for Radio 2GB said callers to the station's breakfast program

"went berserk" and many others rang the overnight program to express their displeasure. Some said they had switched off their TV in disgust.

Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi was not surprised by the broadcast controversy, saying the ABC had long been a "cause of concern".

"I have said before that the ABC appears to be a law unto itself and at some point we've got to start reflecting on the conduct of the national broadcaster," Sen Bernardi said.

The ABC, which had exclusive rights to broadcast the celebrations, said the midnight fireworks achieved a five city metropolitan audience of 1.3 million (53 per cent share) on ABC1.

In Sydney the midnight fireworks drew 666,000 viewers (77 per cent share).

During prime-time last night ABC1 was the number one channel in the combined metro markets with a share of 19 per cent and in Sydney with a share of 26 per cent, the spokeswoman said.

A room full of eco-idiots...........Shell finally notices something odd

A room full of eco-idiots

Tony Thomas
The Daily Telegraph
December 19,2013

IT must be a tipping point in the climate debate when a senior Shell executive notices something odd about the green activists with whom he has been consorting.

David Hone, Shell UK's Melbourne-born "senior climate change adviser", went to an academic conference on "radical emission reduction strategies" in London on December 10-11.

He concluded that he had fallen among eco-idiots wanting to remould society from the ground up.

Hone, also a director of the Emissions Trading Association, has a background in oil- and shipping-trade markets. One explanation for his blog outburst could be that he was still in shock from the collapse of carbon pricing and trading schemes at the Warsaw IPCC conference. Hone wrote: "This was a room of catastrophists (as in 'catastrophic global warming'), with the prevailing view, at least to my ears, that the issue could only be addressed by the complete transformation of the global energy and political systems, with the latter moving to one of state control and regulated consumerism. There would be no room for 'ruthless individualism' in such a world. The posters that dotted the lecture theatre lobby area covered topics as diverse as vegan diets to an eventual return to low technology hunter-gatherer societies. Much to my surprise I was not really at an emission reduction conference (despite the label saying I was), but a political ideology conference."

The conference, sadly, was no less unhinged than the UK government's legally mandated goal to cut CO2 emissions by at least 80 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050. Stand by, hardy Britons, for brown and black-outs. Australian national targets are 5 per cent emission cuts by 2020, compared with 2000 levels.

UK climate blogger Andrew Montford noted: "Hone's sudden realisation that many of his fellow-travellers in the environmental movement are completely round the twist is rather comical and you can't help but wonder where he has been in the last 20 years."

At this loopy conference, Australia's ideas on climate catastrophism were well represented. One weblink paper was from Laurence Delina and Dr Mark Diesendorf, of the Institute of Environmental Studies, University of NSW. The title? "Is wartime mobilisation a suitable policy model for rapid national climate mitigation?" No wonder Shell's Hone felt trapped in a madhouse!

Our two experts in war-time mobilisations wrote: "Climate activists assert that rapid mitigation is feasible, invoking the scale and scope of wartime mobilisation strategies. This paper draws upon historical accounts of social, technological and economic restructurings in several countries during World War II in order to investigate potential applications of wartime experience to radical, rigorous and rapid climate mitigation strategies …We find that, while wartime experience suggests some potential strategies for rapid climate mitigation in the areas of finance and labour, it also has severe limitations, resulting from its lack of democratic processes. Furthermore, since restructuring the existing socio-economic system to mitigate climate change is more complex than fighting a war and since the threat of climate change is less obvious to non-scientists, it is unlikely the public will be unified in support of such executive action …"

Yep, that could be right.

Another participant was Professor John Wiseman, of Melbourne University's Sustainable Society Institute, whose weblink talk was titled, ''Winning the climate war: removing political roadblocks to radical emissions reductions''.

I particularly enjoyed a portrait of Professor Wiseman at an Australian conference last October, shown alongside a slide projection quoting excitable green activist Miriam Lyons: "The highest priority action for achieving a rapid transition to a just health and resilient post-carbon future is to sculpt visions of the future that are beautiful, and lifelike enough to fall in love with." (Needless to say, Ms Lyons is a regular guest on Radio National's Drive and Outsiders programs, along with ABC-TV's Q&A and The Drum).

Among Wiseman's authorships is ''Hope, Despair and Transformation: Climate Change and the Promotion of Mental Health and Wellbeing''. Hopefully the absence of global warming since 1997 has restored to sanity the victims of climate scare campaigns.

Another Aussie was Dr Jane O'Sullivan, of the University of Queensland, whose topic was, "Reducing emissions through family planning and women's empowerment." A gung-ho person on carbon taxes, Dr O'Sullivan shows symptoms of Life of Brian's People's Front of Judea divisiveness, being "frustrated by the tangled web of misconceptions and the determination of environmental activists to regard any criticism of the cap-and-trade proposal as climate change denial."

However, our Aussie presenters seem conservative compared to the Poms.

Typical of the green contingent was Pete Brace, an IT nerd and seven-year careerist in computer games, who wound up three years ago in a community called Tinkers Bubble which prohibits fossil fuels. His ambition is zero emissions plus a high quality of life. The whole show, including David Hone's epiphany, would be funny - except that taxpayers, including Australia's, must have funded 90 per cent of it.

Another Cultural Enrichment Harmony Day gift from Labor Green Loon Multiculturalists

Adelaide pathologist Heddy Zola wants more squat toilets to address needs of large migrant population

Jill Pengelley 
The Advertiser
December 25,2013

SQUAT toilets should be considered for new buildings, says a leading pathologist who has had to instruct his staff in correct use of western toilets.

SA Pathology research director Professor Heddy Zola says it is probably time Adelaide acknowledged the cultural needs of its large migrant population.

Squat toilets, also known as Nile pans, are preferred in parts of Asia and Europe.

"In the research environment, the native-born Australian is a rarity," Professor Zola said.

"We do very well with our immigrant population.

"I'm a migrant myself and we do need to accommodate them."

In his monthly research newsletter, he has included a page on "toilet etiquette", which includes a diagram, with a cross through it, of a stick figure standing on a toilet seat.

The instructions also include an appeal not to throw water on the floor.

He said there had been a recurring problem with the state of the toilets in his IMVS building, on Frome Rd.

TELL US: Should more squat toilets be introduced?

At one stage, a PhD student had cleaned up after others to spare the cleaners the task.

"I think it's a mixture of cultural differences and just people not giving a damn about who comes after them,'' Professor Zola said.

He said it would be "sensible" to install squats in new buildings, especially those used by large numbers of migrant students and staff.

"I wouldn't be surprised if in 30 years' time, all buildings had to have both styles,'' he said.

The University of Adelaide has "culturally sensitive amenities" to cater for students and staff from more than 90 countries, a spokeswoman told The Advertiser.

"We have prayer rooms with culturally appropriate ablutions at both Union House and Nexus10 as well as squat toilets in the Ingkarni Wardli building," she said.

"It is important to consider culturally sensitive amenities as part of building development planning.

"Feedback from occupants and visitors alike is invariably positive and it further reinforces the university's values of inclusivity and tolerance."

Flinders University also has installed squat toilets and special washrooms.

UniSA has none but has recognised a problem and placed signs on cubicle doors, asking users not to stand on seats.

The new South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute building on North Terrace does not have squat toilets.

I have seen first hand in the public toilets of a major Sydney Public Hospital the Toilet habits of the Labor Green Loon VOTE People and what they do to normal Toilets as a way of protesting their demands for the imposition of the filth you see above and believe me what you see above would be classed as hygienic by their standards.
I have seen normal Australian toilets trashed by Union / GetUp financed Labor, Green Loon, Cultural Enrichment, Harmony Day Ambassadors, to the extent that they are rendered unusable by Australians in private and public buildings.

Maybe these Labor Green Loon VOTE People and their Progressive apologists are pining for Cholera, Diphtheria, Polio, Diarrhoea,Dysentery,and of course the old "Group Shit" custom of the Middle East.

For Gods sake if this Cultural Enrichment Ambassador,Heddy Zola is the best Adelaide University can come up with in its Pathology Department no wonder people are dying in Hospitals of causes new to Australia.
Just how safe is the Lab he oversees?

"SA Pathology research director Professor Heddy Zola says it is probably time Adelaide acknowledged the cultural needs of its large migrant population."

Its high time Labor Green Loon VOTE People acknowledge that the reason they are here is because they could no longer suffer the Religious Social and Cultural manifestations of whatever nation it was they ran away from,they came here because Australia was NOT like the Godless Shit Hole they decided was not able to produce a standard of living and safety for them and their families and so either illegally entered Australia and asked for shelter or immigrated legally.

Heddy Zola if you and your kind are successful in doing to MY Country what you, your Parents, Grand Parents did to the nation they / you, ran away from, where will you run to next after you and your "Culture" have turned Australia into another third world shit hole?

All aboard the "Jesus Express" The morally superior all away in a manger

The morally superior all away in a manger

Roger Franklin
The Daily Telegraph
December 27,2013

IT is a good thing Jesus is the bringer of peace and forgiveness because every Christmas He must be sorely tempted to do quite a bit of smiting. It's not the commercialisation of his birthday that would bother him so much as the slanders on the good name of his earthly family.

Brothers and sisters, let us shun those who every year at this time proclaim that Joseph and Mary were a homeless couple! There are lies, which all Sunday schoolers know are sins, and then there are those gigantic, jaw-dropping whoppers which come with little horns and pitchforks and do the devil's work, and this annual misrepresentation of the Holy Family is one of the biggest of the lot.

Those who would have us believe that Mary and Joseph were a couple of down-on-their-luck bums are also inclined to drop a lot of hints that Jesus might have had a better start in life if only Caesar had collected just a bit more tax to "invest" in government-approved mangers.

Others seem to be under the impression that Mary and Joseph arrived in landlocked Bethlehem aboard a leaky boat.

Atheists and believers differ on whether or not God can move mountains, but there is no doubt Jesus is always being asked to lend a hand when there is a barrow to be pushed, and often by the most unlikely suspects.

Consider NSW University of Technology professor of journalism Wendy Bacon, who earlier this week tweeted a message of support for the illegal arrivals she prefers to call asylum seekers.

She was commenting favourably on another Twitter user's photo of a sign outside a Brisbane church that assured refugees "there's plenty of room at the inn."
Now it should come as no shock that Bacon, a lifelong radical, rejects the quaint notion that it should be policy rather than people smugglers deciding how and when they arrive.

What does surprise is Bacon's sudden respect for Christianity. The last time there is a record of her tapping into the spiritual came when she was charged with obscenity and appeared in court dressed as a nun. Just to make sure the magistrate knew how she felt about religion, her habit bore a graphic announcement claiming intimate knowledge of "God's steel prick".

How many refugees saw that church's sign and appreciated its sentiment is unknown, although the ready guess is that the number would have been few.

Then again, boat people were never the intended audience. Why shouldn't the self-righteous give themselves a little Christmas treat by putting their virtue on display for all to admire? Moral superiority, real and imagined, always makes you feel lovely and warm inside - warmer than a drowned boat person, certainly.

In Toowoomba, copies of the Australian Catholic Bishops' latest statement on social justice, entitled "Lazarus at the Gate", were distributed to the faithful and - surprise! surprise! - Australia was relegated to Santa's naughty list.

"The recent increase in the number of people arriving by boat is insignificant by world standards," the bishops wrote. "In 2012 … as Pakistan struggled to accommodate 1.6 million refugees, Australia's political leaders and media whipped up hysteria over the arrival of 17,000 asylum seekers."

At Eureka Street, a website run and funded by the Jesuits, St Vincent de Paul Society chief executive John Falzon came in on cue with a Christmas hope that capitalism ("not a natural system") will be replaced by something kinder to outcasts and people like Jesus, who, he assures readers, was "born on the fringes of society".

This is just too much. It is one thing to see Wendy Bacon misrepresenting a theology she once thought worthy only of a blasphemous, look-at-me parody, but quite another when the chief executive of a religious charity can't grasp the real meaning of that night in a stable long ago.

Fact is, Mary and Joseph were victims of Big Government - and you can take that as the gospel truth, courtesy of the Gospels themselves. Why did they leave their home in Nazareth? Because the Emperor Augustus ordered all Roman subjects to return to their ancestral homes for a census, thus wasting the couple's time, money and sandal leather to extract information that might have been just as easily obtained if they had been allowed to remain in their own home.

Why were there no rooms available? Because, after issuing the order to hit the road and be counted, Augustus made no provision to accommodate the overnight population surge.

But surely Mary and Joseph were homeless outcasts, right?

Well, they were away from home but certainly not homeless. Joseph was a carpenter, according to the New Testament, and therefore a skilled artisan - about as likely to be mistaken for a homeless man as the next tradie you see scooting by in a ute.

How Jesus might feel about these misrepresentations is anyone's guess, but one thing is for sure: those who paint Him as an outcast should give thanks that the Jehovah of the Old Testament, forever afflicting wrongdoers with plagues and torments, was replaced in Jesus' teachings with the God of love.

Otherwise we could expect an annual blitz of lightning bolts raining down every year at this time.
