An apparent lack of Love in these Loveridges

No emotion as Kieran Loveridge, accused of killing Thomas Kelly, faces court

THERE were no tears this morning from the man accused of killing 18-year-old Thomas Kelly as a court was told he could expect to spend at least the next two months in custody.


Kieran Loveridge, 18, of Seven Hills, was arrested and charged with murder last week following the bashing death of the 18-year-old accounting cadet early this month.


During his brief second appearance in Burwood Court this morning, there was no sign of the emotion the teen showed during his visit to the courtroom last week - when he appeared to cry as he sat in the dock for the first time.

Loveridge rocked from side to side in his chair and looked straight into the camera as he appeared in court on a video screen from Silverwater prison, where he has been held since his last court visit.


His lawyer previously flagged a bail application for the 18-year-old, but the bid was withdrawn this morning.
Loveridge will now remain in custody until at least his next scheduled appearance in Central Local Court on September 20.


He was arrested and charged last week with the murder of Mr Kelly, who suffered critical head injuries and later died in hospital after he was taken off life support.


Mr Kelly had been on his first night out in the Kings Cross nightclub district when he was allegedly attacked just after 10pm.

Police claim Loveridge also attacked three other males in just over an hour in various spots around the entertainment precinct.


He was identified as the person who allegedly "king hit"  Mr Kelly after CCTV footage taken from the area was analysed and an anonymous caller tipped off police with his name.

Loveridge CousinAccused of Murder

Corey Loveridge and a mate murdered a 17-year-old boy in a random street attack hours after he said he wanted "to stab and kill someone tonight", court documents allege.

Loveridge, 18, and his 17-year-old mate repeatedly kicked and stabbed the boy until he fell to the ground in a Sydney street, the documents say.

The two teenagers allegedly committed the murder on the same night they allegedly bashed an 87-year-old woman in a violent home invasion.

The court documents say the pair broke the woman's own walking stick over her head and kicked and punched her after she fell to the ground.

In Penrith Local Court on Tuesday, magistrate Annette Sinclair committed Loveridge to stand trial in the Supreme Court on September 14 in Sydney.

Corey Loveridge and his co-accused allegedly attacked the boy, his brother and stepbrother in Maple Road, North St Marys, in Sydney's west, about 3.20am (AEDT) on December 1, 2010.

The victim's brothers assumed he had escaped with them but returned to find him bleeding in the gutter.

He died on the way to hospital.

Less than two hours earlier, police say Elena Parrelli, 87, awoke to find the pair at the rear of her house before she was beaten so badly she could not walk..

During her attack, she activated her "VitalCall" necklace, which recorded yelling and threats of "We'll f***ing kill you" and "Where's the money, motherf****r?"

Corey Loveridge was arrested a day later at Parramatta railway station while buying a bus ticket to South Australia where his father lives.

He is also charged with telling a family member during a phone conversation from Silverwater jail to recruit someone to "bash the f**k out of Billy".

"Billy" is an associate of the accused and is a crown witness.

Loveridge also sent a letter from custody to two cousins telling them to "shut there (sic) mouths", court documents allege.

He is the cousin of Kieran Loveridge, 18, who was charged last week with the bashing murder of Thomas Kelly, 18, and the assault of three other young males in Kings Cross in just over an hour on the night of July 7.

Kieran Loveridge is expected to apply for bail in Burwood Local Court on Wednesday.

His 17-year-old friend remains in custody for bashing a Channel Nine cameraman outside the same court where Kieran appeared last week.

Warning America from American Thinker :Australia's Green Ideological Disaster

Australia's Green Ideological Disaster

By Sam Fielding
American Thinker
July 19, 2012

Australia is providing a case study in the self-destructive politics of green ideology, when believers of the religion of global warming gain political leverage.

Between 1996 and 2007, John Howard became Australia's second-longest-serving prime minister, with his center-right administration being regarded as the epitome of responsible economic management, overseeing the "good years for Australia."  In 2007, Kevin Rudd's left-wing Labor Party gained office, and by 2009, a six-year run of budget surpluses gave way to the largest deficits in modern politics.

A slew of ideologically charged policies followed, including a nationally subsidised home insulation scheme which was unregulated, resulting in millions of wasted funds and even a death due to unqualified installation, and a public education "revolution" to renovate school buildings where the government happily paid exorbitant over-inflated tenders for unnecessary and, in some cases, unwanted refurbishments, blowing over $1 billion.  This "revolution" was overseen by Rudd's deputy, Julia Gillard.

With plummeting polls leading into the 2010 election, having been bestowed with the mantle of the worst prime minister in Australia's history, Rudd's leadership was successfully challenged by Gillard.  However, Gillard was no shoe-in for prime m,inister, and to counter an effective campaign by the conservatives who warned that another Labor government would mean an unpopular carbon emissions tax, Gillard declared that "there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead."

The election was even tighter than predicted and resulted in the first hung parliament since 1940.  To secure power, Gillard chose to cut a deal with three independents and a lone Greens member of parliament.  Despite her declaration to the contrary, Gillard was now over a (green) barrel and was forced to renege on her commitment not to introduce a carbon tax in order to honor her agreement with the Greens, whose agenda not surprisingly included a carbon tax.
It's taken Gillard two years to implement the controversial tax, during which time she has been irreverently referred to as "Ju-liar."  Thoughts of staying in power have no doubt helped her withstand such criticism, along with the support of a sympathetic Obama. 

During his visit here in November last year, he expressed his support for the tax, saying, "I think that's good for the world ... I actually think, over the long term, it's good for our economies, as well, because it's my strong belief that industries, utilities, individual consumers -- we're all going to have to adapt how we use energy and how we think about carbon."

The tax came into effect at the start of the 2013 financial year, yet after only a few weeks, the vociferous reaction from the Australian public can't be ignored.  They are smarting not only from a new controversial tax, but also from a prime minister who expressly said she would not implement it.  The foundation of the Labor Party, working-class families, are feverishly adjusting their weekly grocery budgets to account for a policy that many would have never thought possible.  Long-term voters of the left are shell-shocked, feeling cheated and abandoned.

Far from serving the working class, a carbon tax is the Trojan Horse of what many view as eco-terrorist environmentalism designed at saving trees -- or worse, generating a warm fuzzy feeling inside -- rather than jobs and a sustainable future.

One would hope that deliberate untruths would be uncommon in Western politics, but outright lying should never be tolerated.  There has been much philosophical deliberation about why people lie, but ultimately in politics the issue is whether the electorate is prepared to tolerate such conduct.  The polls here suggest a distinct lack of mercy.  In the past weeks, reports indicate that the Labor-Greens coalition is under immense pressure, with Labor Party members labeling the Greens as "extremists" and the Greens, ironically honestly, describing Labor as lacking values and standing for nothing.

The relevance of Australia's experience for the U.S. is that it highlights the degree of ideological blindness the left can be prone to.  In Australia's 150-seat House of Representatives (the equivalent of Congress), the Greens secured one seat.  Notwithstanding the vagaries of the Australian electoral system, that equates to roughly 0.6% of the vote.  Simplistically put, by making a deal with the Greens, the incumbent administration has implemented a policy that less than 1% of the electorate voted for.

The Appalling, Union / GetUp funded, Labor  / Green Loon, "Independent" Minority Socialist  "Co Party " Australian Government

The concern to a modern liberal democracy like Australia is not that minority political parties such as the Greens exist, but that they are offered a place at the table without the consent of the public at large.  Obama, as far as I can tell from here, was forced to shelve his plans for a carbon tax because even the Democrats could see the negative economic consequences.  Yet Gillard has chosen to somehow live in denial of its affects on the long-term health of the Australian economy, which is beyond me -- but then there are so many truths extreme liberals fail to acknowledge that it's not entirely surprising.
Bush had his critics, but at least one knew where he stood.  John Howard certainly held his ground on an issue, no matter the reaction of the chattering masses.  The danger of the left's liberalism is that it is so focused on popularity that its policies are often extremely short-sighted.  Gillard must be struggling to reconcile her short-term desire for power with her integrity.
Reports suggest that Obama is doing his best to "bankrupt" the coal power industry.  What should be of concern to U.S. voters is that Obama's energy policy could well be the thin edge of the wedge of increasingly-left-of-center ideology crystalizing into policy.  I trust that the events Down Under serve as a timely reminder of what the left is prepared to deny in order to maintain a false ideology.

LOOK out Sally Pearson !! 19 year old Michelle Jenneke has arrived

Aussie Michelle Jenneke the world's favourite new hurdler

LOOK out Sally Pearson - there is another Aussie hurdler stealing your spotlight and she likes to flaunt it.

Emerging 19-year-old Michelle Jenneke, who hails from Sydney, has become worldwide internet sensation after some very interesting dance moves at last weekend's Barcelona World Junior Championships.


While she completely dominated her women's 100-metre hurdle event, it's Jenneke's sexy warm-up dance - which included wiggling her hips and shimmying - that's made her famous around the Web.


The footage has gone viral and has become a YouTube sensation - with the most popular video one of her moving to a catchy dance tune.


It has gone everywhere, even USA Today - which described the footage as "unique way of stretching."


And before she can be accused of self promotion, it should be noted it appears she does not have a Facebook or Twitter account.


Sadly, Jenneke - who comes from Kenthurst in Sydney's northwest and attended The Hills Grammar School - failed to qualify for the London Games.


In an old interview, the teenager - who has a hurdling PB of 13.39 - describes her hobbies as soccer, AFL and handball.


She also loves hanging out with her friends, tree climbing and taking care of her several pet dogs and cats.


As far back as she can remember, she has had a passion for hurdling, even lining up teddy bears for jumping practice at her parent’s home when she was very young.
