Piers Akerman: Defence cuts are blowing apart our nation's credibility

You know the advertisement - "even his closest friends won't tell him" - about the deeply personal problem of body odour?


Well, Australia's closest friend, the United States, is publicly telling us that we stink.


In an unprecedented display of candour, the US is saying bluntly that Australia is not pulling its weight on Defence and that the implications of letting down the side in this manner are enormous and long-ranging.


Department of Defence secretary Duncan Lewis was formally told of official US concerns at a painful meeting at the Pentagon on Tuesday.

In this weeks Bolt Report, Andrew Bolt speaks with Maj.Gen.Ret.Jim Molan, who makes clear Australia's perilous position when it comes to defence of the Nation under the Union / Getup funded Rudd/Gillard Labor / Green Loon "Independent" Minority Socialist

 "Co Party" Federal government.

He assured the Americans that the Gillard government was committed to building major defence capabilities, such as air warfare destroyers, joint strike fighters and amphibious ships but the US is voicing its doubts.


It believes the Gillard government has a serious credibility problem. It has a history of making worthy promises _ and breaking them _ and the US is just as aware of this history as the Australian voters who consistently reject Gillard Labor.


The former US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage _ a great friend of Australia who was made a Companion of Australia, our highest honour, just two years ago _ issued the same warning earlier last week but there is no indication the Gillard government is listening.


The human face of the deceitful slashing of the defence budget is to be seen in the Gillard government's withdrawal in the last federal budget of the program under which single servicemen were provided with free flights home at Christmas.


In budgetary terms it's a small saving of $15 million in a budget of approximately $24 billion but 22,000 single men and women will no longer be given the opportunity to be with their loved ones during the holidays.

What is the Australian Labor Government spending OUR money on if not on the defence of our Nation ? listen to above interview between Alan Jones and opposition spokesman Greg Hunt.I am sure our declared enemies are grateful for the assistance of the Labor Green Loon Co Party Government in facilitating the disarmament of Australia

In its usual shift-the-blame manner, Labor argues that the cut was suggested by the secretary of Defence and that the benefit was no longer relevant. But Labor must take responsibility for the travel ban as it was Labor that slashed $5.5 billion from Defence spending in its vain attempt to produce Treasurer Wayne Swan's mythical budget surplus.


Liberal MP Stuart Robert, the Opposition shadow minister for Defence science, technology and personnel and Liberal Senator David Johnson, the shadow minister for Defence, have been dogged in their fight to have this benefit restored.


On Tuesday, June 26,  Robert tabled a disallowance motion in the House of Representatives which seeks to disallow or block Labor's policy.


Under the house rules, Labor has 15 sitting days from the date of tabling to respond. Four sitting days have passed with no movement from the government side.


Labor has a choice: do nothing and effectively permit the disallowance motion or stand up and defend its policy of cutting recreation leave travel.


So Labor has failed to address an issue that has created uncertainty and a loss of morale in the ranks.


The bigger picture demonstrates a problem of a far greater magnitude. Put simply, crucial forward spending has been postponed. The machine that produces the equipment and technology used by our fighting men and women has been mothballed.


There is no money to buy fuel for our ships and sailors need to be at sea.


There is no money for ammunition, and troops need ordnance to train to survive.


There is no money to develop the systems needed to combat the next generation of IEDs, the roadside bombs that smash our forward troops.


There is no none to replace barracks.


Then there is the impact on industry.


There is only one customer for the sort of sophisticated weaponry that has given our troops a critical edge in their work and the Labor government presented a big shopping list in its 2009 White Paper.


Companies were told to tool up and ramp up production to meet the needs of the armed forces.


Now Gillard and Swan have told the same firms to forget it.


 The procurement plan has been slashed by 34 per cent.


The companies which invested can write off 34 per cent of their money, lose 34 per cent of their operations, staff and plant, or close.


As the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Defence budget brief tells it, the Defence budget will fall in real terms by 10.5 per cent next year, the largest year-on-year reductions since the end of the Korean conflict in 1953.


As a result, Defence spending as a share of GDP will fall to 1.56 per cent, the smallest figure recorded since the eve of World War II in 1938.


Stop and think of the lack of preparedness for conflict then and the nations that took advantage of that wilful negligence.


To date, $10.6 billion worth of promised funding from the first five years of white paper has been deferred, $10 billion in savings has been cut from funding promised between 2011 and 2021 and another $2.5 billion of initiatives over the decade have been imposed upon Defence without funding or offsets.


No wonder the US is worried. The nation cannot turn on the Defence machine when its motor is rusted through lack of use.


Our men and women don't get the gear or the equipment they need and they don't get home.


There is always a price for these cuts but Labor is blindly slashing to protect a phony budget surplus for now meaningless political ends.

London on alert for terror attack ahead of Olympic Games

ISRAEL fears an Iranian terror squad in Europe are planning to attack their athletes during the London Olympics, according to reports.

Agents from Israel’s elite intelligence organisation, Mossad, are hunting Iranian-backed terrorists in Europe, who are allegedly planning an “anniversary” attack 40 years after the Munich massacre, Britain's The Sunday Times reports.


The fears come as tensions rise over the International Olympic Committee refusal to commemorate the killing of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches by Palestinian terrorists on September 5, 1972.


In preparation for an Olympic terror assault, panic rooms for VIPs and spectators have been set up beneath London’s Olympic Stadium to protect them from being taken hostage or killed, according to The Sunday Times.


The paper also claims that if an attack occurred on the stadium, security forces would “invacuate” key people, rushing them to safety inside the attack zone.


An estimated 50,000 VIPs will attend the Games, including a reported 140 heads of state, 200 government ministers, 100 royals and 150 members of the International Olympic Committee.


A ring of steel has been set up to protect the Games, including snipers on the stadium roof and lighting towers and airborne radiation detecting equipment.


While M15 and Scotland Yard have reportedly raised the threat level against Israelis at the Games, Israel’s security squad Shin Bet has also been sent to protect the country’s 38 athletes living at the Athletes Village.


Concerns of an attack on Israel were heightened by the suicide bombing of a bus in Bulgaria last week, killing five Israeli tourists and the Bulgarian bus driver.


A man – carrying American travel documents – exploded a bomb on board the tourist coach just hours before an Israeli cargo plane carrying elite security teams landed nearby.


The blast was reportedly revenge for the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, which Iran blames on Israel.
It confirmed intelligence Mossad had received that the Quds Force - Iran’s overseas hit squad – would use a suicide bomber disguised as a westerner.


The Israelis are now convinced the attack was a precursor to a bigger hit — with London’s Olympic Games as the suspected target, the paper claimed.


They allegedly believe Iran and Hezbollah, the militant Shi’ite Muslim group it arms and funds in Lebanon, plan to repeat the bloodshed of Black September.


The world watched in horror in 1972 when Palestinian terrorists scaled the fences of the Athletes Village in Munich and killed two Israeli athletes and took another nine hostage.


After German forces bungled an ambush at the military airport, the terrorists shot the athletes and threw a grenade into their helicopter to ensure they were dead.


A global campaign – backed by US president Barack Obama – has pushed for a minute of silence during London’s Opening Ceremony to honour the victims.


But IOC president Jacques Rogge rejected the proposals, saying that it was inappropriate to commemorate the deaths at the Olympics.


“We feel that the Opening Ceremony is an atmosphere that is not fit to remember such a tragic incident,” he told a press conference.


He added that some IOC delegates would attend a memorial on September 5 at the German military airport of Furstenfeldbruck where the killing took place.


“We are going to pay a homage to the athletes, of course, as we always have done in the past and will do in the future,” he said.

THE ex-boyfriend of a Sydney prostitute disfigured in a callous petrol-dousing attack allegedly called a top-rating radio station to falsely blame the incident on a botched robbery.
Mohammed Fouani, 41,was charged along with a 17-year-old known to the family on Thursday following an extensive four-month investigation led by Redfem police.
The Korean victim, 34, who has asked not to be named,suffered bums to 45 per cent of her body in the attack on March 22.
Police allege the following morning Fouani and the teenager drove to payphones around Western Sydney and placed false tip-offs with Redfern detectives and Sydney's 2GB radio station.
They allegedly blamed the attack on a botched bag snatching attempt by a drug addict,the court heard.
Fouani, from Quakers Hill,was arrested in Coffs Harbour it is understood he was on his way to Queensland at the time of his arrest.
Fouani, who is well-known in Sydney motor racing circles,was charged with causing wounding and grievous bodily harm with intent to murder and recruiting a child to carry
out a criminal act.

He appeared before Coffs Harbour Local Court on Friday — he did not apply for bail and will next appear at Central Local Court on July 31.
The teenager, who faced the same intent to murder charge,appeared before Bidura Children's Court on Thursday and was granted strict bail.
Fouani was charged with recruiting the young man to carry out the attack after the prostitute rejected a cash offer of $5000 a week to quit the sex industry, the court heard.


The court heard that on the night of the incident, Fouani drove the teenager into the CBD. They allegedly purchased a carton of milk, which was then emptied and filled
with an accelerant — clothes and a cigarette lighter were also provided to the teen.
As the victim approached the brothel about 9.45pm, she was pointed out to the teenager, the court heard.
She remained in the Concord Bums unit for several months but has since been
released and is now undergoing further treatment.


Can you imagine what kind of sick Fuck would do this to another human being, check out the treatment  here  I have seen burnt people in Hospital and it is horrendous simply horrendous.

Indian Accused Of Rape Extradited To Australia To Face Charges


MELBOURNE – A 25-year-old Indian taxi driver, who is accused of raping a woman passenger two years ago in Australia, appeared briefly before a court here after being extradited from India.


Jaswinder Singh Mutta, who was extradited from India in January this year following his arrest by Indian police, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court.
Mutta allegedly raped 26-year-old passenger in his taxi late at night in the suburb of North Fitzroy on January 17, 2010.


He was charged with two counts of rape and one count of indecent assault, according to The Age newspaper. Magistrate Jelena Popovic explained to Mutta that he had been brought before the court for a filing hearing.


Popovic said Mutta and his lawyer would be given access to the police brief of evidence against him by July 31. Mutta was remanded in custody for a committal mention on August 31. He did not apply for bail.

Melbourne: The 25-year-old Indian taxi driver, extradited on charges of raping an Australian woman passenger, had fled the country on a one-way ticket to India after committing the crime, a court was told on Thursday.


Jaswinder Singh Mutta, the first Indian to be extradited to Victoria, is facing two counts of 
rape charges and one of indecent assault.


Mutta appeared in a Victoria court where it was heard that the cabbie fled to India on a one way ticket after allegedly raping his passenger. He left Melbourne on a Thai Airways flight on February 6, 2010 after buying his one way ticket.


In opposing Mutta's bail application in a Magistrates Court, senior investigative official, Shane Jenkins, unfolded the incident and informed that the alleged victim, who was 26, had met two girlfriends for dinner on January 17, 2010, and had been drinking wine throughout the night.
According to a report in 'The Age' newspaper, Jenkins told the court that the victim hailed 


Mutta's taxi and asked him to take her home.
Jenkins said the woman vomited in the back of the taxi and Mutta told her she would have to clean it up. 
Mutta drove her home and waited as she went to get a bucket of water and some cleaning products. As she was cleaning the taxi, Mutta pointed inside the taxi and said, "What about that?". 
Mutta then forced the woman into the back seat of the taxi and raped her.
The official informed the court that Mutta at one stage told the woman, "Maybe I have AIDS", before saying, "Just joking".


Mutta, who came to Australia in December 2008 on a student visa, was interviewed by police on February 4 where he denied the rape allegations and refused to take part in an 
identification parade or give a DNA sample.


Jenkins said police had seized Mutta's mobile phone which had two photographs of the 
alleged victim. Mutta was released by police because of insufficient evidence at the time and next day he went to a flight centre office, and paid USD 975.59 for the one-way flight to New Delhi via Bangkok before flying out later that night.
Jenkins said a warrant for Mutta's arrest was issued after police found semen in the back of his taxi and in the victim's underwear.


Mutta was taken into custody by Indian authorities on January 5 this year before being 
extradited. It was the first time an Indian national had been extradited to Victoria.
