1 / 85 Kerr Street Fitzroy : The Prime Minister tells lies,she always has.....

From Michael Smith News



Julia Gillard was asked in her formal interview by Peter Gordon whether or not she knew anything about the Slater and Gordon firm providing a mortgage to finance the purchase of 1/85 Kerr Street Fitzroy.

The PM is a bit of a galah beside being a big liar.  She says she didn't know about the mortgage.


She thought that the only thing that The Age or the 7.30 show on the ABC had on her was the note from the Commonwealth Bank about the insurance on the property.   But that's not all.   She also made other "random" enquiries about a mortgage she knew nothing about, and those random enquiries found their way into the Ralph Edwin Blewitt mortgage file.

Here's what she said to Peter Gordon on 11 September 1995.

Peter Gordon: “Were you aware at any time that the balance of the funds to make up the capital was to be provided by contributory mortgage of which Jonathan Rothfield (a Slater & Gordon partner) was trustee?”
Julia Gillard: “I don’t, I don’t think I knew that at the time, where the source of funds was. It’s subsequently been raised with me that that was done through the Slater & Gordon mortgage register but I didn’t have any recollection of that.”  

The Age and the ABC's 7.30 program relied on the letter from the Commonwealth Bank to show that Gillard knew all about the mortgage.

And so her improbable response to that letter from the Comm Bank, addressed to her.   One again she tries to drop the patsy Ralph Blewitt in the cack.

But wait Julia, there's more!

Here's what really happened.

The dodgy Power of Attorney was improperly used in an application to the Slater and Gordon mortgage provider to procure a $150,000 mortgage in Ralph Edwin Blewitt's name.   He would be liable for the debt.

But he knew nothing.   Here is the letter of offer about the mortgage.   Keen observers will note to whom it is addressed.


It goes on for a few pages, I've reproduced the first page above.   The next page includes this paragraph.


At some point, Julia spoke with someone who cared about whether or not he would be charged the higher rate of interest.   But keep in mind that Julia Gillard knew nothing about the mortgage.   Just out of the blue, Julia asked her PA to make enquiries, and Julia's PA's note found its way into the mortgage file.


And Olive Brosnahan wrote this note to Gillard about the mortgage that Gillard didn't know about.

And it wasn't enough for Julia to just get that information about the mortgage she knew nothing about verbally.   Or even hand-written.   It was typed out.   Nicely.   In a way that you could take home and show to your lover who was enquiring about the mortgage he was acquiring.   But Julia knew nothing about that.    Just ask her.


I am running a very unsophisticated blog on a laptop and an iPhone.   Just imagine what information about the trustworthiness of Julia Eileen Gillard has been uncovered by the security agencies from countries that Australia deals with.

What Julia Gillard said on August 23 2012


Prime Minister Gillard responds to accusations

Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Broadcast: 23/08/2012
Reporter: Chris Uhlmann
Prime Minister Julia Gillard today refuted claims of impropriety during her time as a lawyer at the firm Slater and Gordon and attacked those making the claims against her.




Transcript
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: For months, a vicious online smear campaign has been questioning Julia Gillard's conduct as a lawyer 17 years ago. It's spilled over into the national news media and today the Prime Minister declared enough is enough. In a fiery defence of her time at Slater & Gordon, she said News Limited stories about her involvement in the creation of a union fund were defamatory and wrong.

Political editor Chris Uhlmann reports on an unusual day in federal politics.

CHRIS UHLMANN, REPORTER: It began as an announcement about lifting the refugee intake.

It was punctuated by an appalling security breach when an intruder got within striking distance of the Prime Minister.

JOURNALIST: How did you get in? 

INTRUDER: No, just got in through the public entrance.

JOURNALIST II: Prime Minister, something very odd just occurred. What have you been handed there? 

JULIA GILLARD, PRIME MINISTER: Oh, Mark, I wish could help you, but I’ve got no idea.

CHRIS UHLMANN: It morphed into a defiant challenge by Julia Gillard.

JULIA GILLARD: I'm answering your questions now. If you've got questions, put ‘em.

CHRIS UHLMANN: And over one hour and 13 minutes it became one of the most extraordinary press conferences of recent years as Julia Gillard acted to end questions over her character that reach back 20 years.

JULIA GILLARD: None of this is new. I am standing in front of you now as a 50 year old woman. Have I learned a few things across my lifetime? Yes, I have.

CHRIS UHLMANN: As a 30 year old woman the Prime Minister was a partner in law firm Slater & Gordon and had begun a relationship with an up-and-coming Australian Workers’ Union official, Bruce Wilson. It would end in acrimony in 1995 amid allegations by the AWU that Bruce Wilson and fellow official Ralph Blewett had misappropriated union funds. The Prime Minister has always said she was unaware of what the two were doing.

JULIA GILLARD: Once I became aware that I had been deceived about a series of matters, I ended my relationship with Mr Wilson.

CHRIS UHLMANN: No charges were ever laid against Bruce Wilson or Ralph Blewett, to the great disappointment to the union and police, even though an association they set up in WA with a noble aim of achieving safe workplaces used money from building companies for their own benefit, including buying a house in Victoria.

JULIA GILLARD: I did not at the time understand that any funds from any other source would be used to support the purchase, that is funds from the association or any other accounts related to the union.

CHRIS UHLMANN: At the heart of the allegations against the Prime Minister is that she did the legal legwork to set up the association, that she never kept a file on it at her law firm and that she described it as a “slush fund” when questioned about it by the senior part partner.

JOURNALIST III: Did you help to draft the document that you knew was false because the purpose of the association was fundraising for a union election, not workplace safety, as stated in that document? 

JULIA GILLARD: My understanding of the purpose of this association was to support the re-election of union officials who would run a campaign saying that they wanted re election because they were committed to reforming workplaces in a certain way, to increasing occupational health and safety, to improving the conditions of the members of the union.

CHRIS UHLMANN: On the weekend the Prime Minister said she wouldn't dignify any of these allegations with a response, despite the fact that The Australian newspaper had been running hard with them.

JULIA GILLARD (Sunday, Sky News): Delving into matters 17 years ago for what purpose? If you've got an allegation I did something wrong, put it. If you can't put it, why are we talking about this? 

CHRIS UHLMANN: Today The Australian was forced to apologise for reporting that the Prime Minister had set up a trust fund for Bruce Wilson and Julia Gillard decided that attack was the best form of defence.

JULIA GILLARD: These are defamatory allegations and they are wrong.

CHRIS UHLMANN: This rebooting of ancient charges began as an internet campaign and one of its torchbearers is cartoonist Larry Pickering. His base attacks on the Prime Minister are among the many reasons why much of mainstream media hasn't revisited this story.

But The Australian's recent investigation did raise new information and new questions, like why Julia Gillard never opened a file on the association. She says it was routine to provide free advice.

JULIA GILLARD: With the benefit of hindsight, of course it would have been better that I had opened the file on the system, but at the time it did not strike me as a matter of particular significance.

CHRIS UHLMANN: What is significant is who was fashioning the bullets being fired at the Prime Minister. As you would expect, fingers are being pointed at the Opposition, but to date its attack’s been muted, and whenever it does come up, a more intriguing trail is raised.

TONY ABBOTT, OPPOSITION LEADER (Saturday): I think there are questions that she does need to address. Let's not forget that these issues were most recently raised in the Parliament not by the Coalition, but by a member of her own cabinet, Robert McClelland. I think there are questions that the Prime Minister does need to answer.

CHRIS UHLMANN: Only aficionados of this ancient case could have spotted an attack on the Prime Minister buried in this June speech by the former Attorney General.

ROBERT MCCLELLAND, ALP BACKBENCHER (22 June): Indeed I know the Prime Minister is quite familiar with this area of the law as lawyers in the mid-1990s were involved in a matter representing opposing clients. Indeed, my involvement in that matter has coloured much of my thinking in this area.

CHRIS UHLMANN: So as with so many things in this parliament, there's a deeper story. The recent attacks on the Prime Minister cannot be divorced from the deep desire some in her own party have to see her deposed and the people writing these stories are being offered assistance from inside Labor's ranks. The Prime Minister hopes today draws a line under the allegations.

JULIA GILLARD: Will the misogynists and the nut jobs on the internet continue to circulate them? Yes, they will. And it wouldn't matter what I said and it wouldn't matter what documents were produced and it wouldn't matter what anybody else said, they will pursue this claim for motivations of their own which are malicious and not in any way associated with the facts.

In terms of the conduct of more mainstream media, well you are in a better position to answer that than me.

But I've been on my feet now for, what? - I can't quite recall; 50 minutes, something like that, taking every question that the journalist elite of this country have got for me. If that doesn't end the matter, then, with respect, I don't know what would.

CHRIS UHLMANN: Malicious motivations aren’t confined to the internet and Julia Gillard's hope that this marks the end of the matter might be optimistic. But the Prime Minister was challenged to answer lingering questions and she did that today and she did it well.

She has, in the estimation of her former law firm and its former senior partner, done no wrong and her performance today was one of the best she's given in a long time.

But the rise of the embittered citizen journalist raises other questions for those who would seek to serve as politicians.

JULIA GILLARD: Yes, it does worry me that that's where politics has got to. That things that are demonstrably untrue, indeed, absurd, are circulated and recirculated and recirculated and somehow, at least in some section of the population, manage to worm their way in to become the orthodoxy.

CHRIS UHLMANN: The Prime Minister has good reason to worry.

LEIGH SALES: Political editor Chris Uhlmann.

Tony Abbott shuts the door on ILLEGALS


Tony Abbott shuts the door on the tide of asylum seekers

MORE than 6000 refugees a year would be denied the chance to settle in Australia under a Tony Abbott-led Coalition government.

The Opposition Leader will today announce he will scrap Labor's extension of the humanitarian refugee intake to 20,000 a year - bringing it back to current levels of 13,750 a year - if the Coalition wins government at the next election.


A new low for the Australian Labor Party:$173.000 per ILLEGAL Muslim asylum seeker as Chemotherapy Patients asked to pay MORE for treatment or die.




The measure would save $1.3 billion over four years and is the first in a series of proposed savings to be announced by Mr Abbott from today.

And it is an about-face for Mr Abbott, who in June told crossbench MPs he would support an increase in the humanitarian intake to 20,000 if they backed the Coalition's amendment which effectively ruled out the Malaysia swap deal.

The government has already started increasing the humanitarian refugee intake after immigration minister Chris Bowen in August accepted a Houston panel recommendation, and had planned for the intake to rise to 27,000 within five years.

Mr Abbott will say today that Australia must "live within its means", with the refugee intake cut to be just the first savings measure announced "over coming months".



"The Coalition will always support a generous humanitarian program," he said. "But it should not be expanded while the government cannot afford to pay for it."

At the time of his offer to support the refugee intake rise, Mr Abbott said: "It makes sense to offer people who are prepared to try to come to Australia the right way, rather than the wrong way, more opportunity to do so."

Mr Abbott was seeking support for the opposition's amendment to send asylum seekers only to countries which had signed the UN refugee convention. The Coalition later withdrew the offer.

Yesterday Mr Abbott accused the government of outsourcing "the humanitarian program ... to the people smugglers" after more than 30,000 asylum seekers arrived on boats since Labor was elected and were absorbed into the existing program.

The Coalition will pledge to give 11,000 places a year to refugees who apply offshore within the existing 13,750 quota, up from just under 7000 places in 2011-12.

Places for refugees applying in camps around the world have been dwindling as boat arrivals have grown.

A special humanitarian program for refugees in Australia to bring family to join them has almost disappeared after it was absorbed by boat arrivals.

Earlier this year it was revealed there were just 655 places issued under the program, compared to 8000 nine years ago.

LARGE families released from immigration detention into the community on bridging visas will be entitled to more than $700 in equivalent welfare payments and rent assistance each fortnight.

A single parent with four or more children could receive as much as $706, the Department of Immigration confirmed yesterday.


A new low for the Australian Labor Party:$173.000 per ILLEGAL Muslim asylum seeker as Chemotherapy Patients asked to pay MORE for treatment or die.




The first boat to arrive since the government announced it was retreating from its policy to send asylum seekers to Nauru and Manus Island was intercepted on Wednesday.

Customs spotted a vessel with 37 asylum seekers and two crew southeast of Christmas Island. They will be among almost 7000 asylum seekers to have arrived since the offshore policy came into effect on August 13.

The latest arrivals can now be considered for release into the community, where they will be paid the equivalent of a welfare benefit, after the government backdown.

The government's policy reversal came after the flood of arrivals overwhelmed capacity offshore and in Australian detention centres.
All asylum seekers released into the community can be considered for 89 per cent of the Newstart allowance and 89 per cent of the applicable rent assistance offered by Centrelink.

In addition, free basic health care will be provided through the government's Asylum Seeker Assistance scheme and the Community Assistance Support program.

A department spokeswoman said the assistance could go as high as $700 in the cases of large families, but said usually only small family groupings arrived on boats, meaning they would be entitled to a lower rate of benefit and rent assistance.

The lowest rate for singles is about $440 a fortnight and they would also be eligible for a small amount of rent assistance of $72 if they are single and sharing a home, and $108 if they are single and living on their own.

The Red Cross has been the lead agency providing services to those in the community on bridging visas after Immigration Minister Chris Bowen announced last November at least 100 people a month would be released from detention. The number of asylum seekers on bridging visas had swelled to more than 5200 at the end of last week.

The department appointed an extra five service providers in August to work alongside the Red Cross, the department spokeswoman said.

New providers working with those on bridging visas include the Multicultural Development Association, Settlement Services International, Access Community Services, Adult Migration Education and the Migrant Resource Centre of SA.

Meanwhile, the government flew another charter jet to Colombo yesterday to return 40 Sri Lankans, taking the number of those returned to 466 since August 13.

"People who pay smugglers are risking their lives and throwing their money away," Mr Bowen said yesterday.

"There is no visa on arrival, no speedy outcome, and no special treatment."

Socialist Priorities Down Under Grant Lee is not one of them.

The teenager that Sydney forgot - four years after his accident, Grant Lee waits for a proper home

ALL Grant Lee wants is a place to call home but a huge waiting list for disabled housing has left him in hospital - where he has already spent almost four years.


A new low for the Australian Labor Party:$173.000 per ILLEGAL Muslim asylum seeker as Chemotherapy Patients asked to pay MORE for treatment or die.



Grant suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was hit by a car aged 15. He is in a wheelchair and needs care for the rest of his life.

Grant, who turned 19 earlier this month, has been at Liverpool Hospital Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit since June 30, 2009. He has been ready to move to a group accommodation home for at least seven months but there are no openings for supported accommodation through the Ageing, Disability and Home Care department. And he is not the only one waiting.

The latest waiting list figures date back to March 30 this year, when 851 people "with an immediate need" were waiting for supported accommodation. Only 308 supported accommodation places were delivered during 2011-12 - with a total of 8300 of these places statewide.

Grant said although hospital staff had been good to him, he was ready to move on, meet new people and have a place to call his own.

The teenager has limited family support and was a ward of the state when the accident occurred in Canberra in March 2009. His father still keeps in contact but is not equipped to look after him and his mother has not made contact with him in two years.

Grant is fully dependent on carers for mobility and has limited communication.

Brain Injury Association of NSW CEO Rachel Merton said it was a "terrible situation" which was not uncommon because of the government's "ad hoc or patchwork" approach to disability services.

"He's been ready for discharge for some time and essentially is on the waiting list to find appropriate accommodation," Ms Merton said.

"I think Grant's situation is a good example of the crisis in finding appropriate accommodation for people with disabilities in NSW."

Ms Merton said there was a waiting lists backlog, with even those classed as being in need of urgent care having to wait for 12 months or more.

Disability Services Minister Andrew Constance admitted the system was "already stretched" but instructed his department to address Grant's situation "urgently".

"Unfortunately it highlights the fact the state disability system is in crisis. While we're investing over $2 billion in growth funding for disability support, we are experiencing growth in demand for services of up to 10 per cent. It's why we desperately need a National Disability Insurance Scheme," he said.

Australian Politics: Madame Gillard returns from Thailand gabfest to AWU SCAM allegations


PM faces new claims over union past

Steve Lewis - National Political Correspondent
November 22, 20128:50PM

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard knew about a $150,000 Slater and Gordon mortgage for a property used by union fraudster Bruce Wilson more than two years before the date she admitted to knowing about it in an interview with the firm's management, a former senior partner claims.

In the latest revelation in the Australian Workers Union scandal, Nick Styant-Browne also revealed there was "deep disquiet" among S&G's top-tier management about some of Ms Gillard's conduct as a lawyer acting for the AWU.

And pressure on the Prime Minister over her role in the 17-year-old union scandal is expected to intensify today when former AWU official Ralph Blewitt will meet Victorian fraud squad detectives to provide extensive information about the fraud, involving up to $1 million in misappropriated funds.






Ralph Blewitt Ben Fordham discuss Julia Gillard and the AWU SCAM


Alan Jones Michael Smith on Julia Gillard and the ex AWU Official Boyfriend



Mr Styant-Browne, speaking from his US home, told the ABC's 7.30 program that he was speaking out to challenge a "stunningly incomplete account" by Slater and Gordon of Ms Gillard's departure from the law firm in late 1995.

The lawyer released new documents, including previously unseen portions of the transcripts from Ms Gillard's "exit" interview which he suggested challenged comments made by the PM to her former firm.

His claims revolve around a $150,000 mortgage provided by the law firm for the purchase of a Melbourne property in 1993. The Fitzroy property was purchased in the name of Ralph Blewitt, who subsequently signed a Power of Attorney to Mr Wilson. The document was witnessed by Ms Gillard, who was in a romantic relationship with the union fraudster from 1991 to 1995.

According to Mr Styant-Browne, Ms Gillard "claimed in the interview in 1995 that the first she heard about the Slater and Gordon loan for the acquisition of the Kerr Street property was in about August of (1995)".

But he said documents showed there was "no doubt that Ms Gillard knew about the mortgage from Slater and Gordon in March of 1993 (and) was specifically involved in taking steps to facilitate that mortgage".

"That is a matter of documents, it's not a matter of assertion and hearsay," he said.

Last night, the Prime Minister's office said there was "no contradiction" between Ms Gillard's recollection of the mortgage documents and the claims made by Mr Styant-Browne.

"Ms Gillard has no recollection of seeing the correspondence from the Commonwealth Bank dated 23 March 1993," a spokesperson for the PM said.

"Ms Gillard stands by her statements in the Slater and Gordon interview of 11 September 1995 as her best recollection of events two and a half years earlier."

Opposition deputy leader Julie Bishop said Ms Gillard's stance on the AWU scandal was "increasingly untenable" and called on her to make a full statement to parliament next week.

Mr Blewitt is expected to outline key details about his knowledge of the AWU Workplace Reform Association the $400,000 "slush" fund used by Mr Wilson.

Mr Blewitt is also expected to tell fraud squad detectives about Ms Gillard's role in helping to establish the Association and discuss how certain monies from the fund were spent.

Budget cuts hit cancer treatment as key centre warns of closure

Sid Maher, Political Correspondent
The Australian 
November 21, 2012 12:00AM

PRIVATE hospitals are warning of nationwide cutbacks to chemotherapy services - and one of the nation's largest regional cancer treatment centres faces closure - over a decision to slash federal government funding for chemotherapy drugs.

The Australian Private Hospitals Association has warned that the cost of providing treatment to thousands of cancer patients could rise by up to $100 for every chemotherapy infusion as part of the decision, which will save the federal budget $40 million a year.

Why has the Labor / Green / Loon / Independent "Co Party Government" been able to find in excess of $2.5 Billion annually for their  Islamic Colonization of Australia, via their "open borders" asylum seeker policy, but says it cannot continue to fund Cancer Patients Chemotherapy? 
Sure these people are predominantly Australians, and as such, are, in the eyes of this Union / GetUp funded Government, very low on it's list of priorities, however even for the Australian Labor Party this is a new low.  




Australians react to this despicable attack upon our most vunerable citizens via Sydney's #1 morning  radio program hosted by Ray Hadley on Radio 2GB.COM / 873 AM.
  
With medical facilities unlikely to be able to pass on the increase in prices charged by pharmacists for the drugs, they fear patients could be forced to seek treatment in an overcrowded public system if services in private centres are scaled back.

St Andrew's Toowoomba Hospital in Queensland has warned its 25-chair unit - one of the nation's largest regional centres funded from the federal government's regional cancer care program - would face increased costs of $800,000 to $1m as a result of the decision and would not be viable when the cut took effect on December 1.

Cancer advocates met with federal Health Department officials in Brisbane last week over the issue.

The controversy has been sparked by a Health Department decision to cut by more than 70 per cent the price paid under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for Docetaxel - a drug used to treat breast, ovarian, prostate and lung cancer.

The cut was made under the government's price disclosure regime, which factors in discounting in prices charged to pharmacists by drug manufacturers to set the government price.

With the latest decision, the scheme has saved a total of almost $200m since the amount paid under the PBS for a range of chemotherapy drugs was first pared back when the regime was introduced in 2009. Revolts by the medical fraternity helped overturn past attempts to find savings from cutting spending on some chemotherapy drugs.

Opponents of the latest cut argue the decision on Docetaxel takes away the last drug where large margins were paid, eroding the ability of pharmacists to use the profits to cross-subsidise other aspects of chemotherapy treatment. This, they argue, will force higher costs to be passed on to private hospitals or patients.

A coalition of groups concerned about the cut - including the Cancer Council, the Private Cancer Physicians of Australia and anti-cancer advocates canSpeak - warns that a portion of the government's savings need to be reinvested back into the pharmacy sector to prevent increased costs being passed on to cancer patients.

Independent senator Nick Xenophon said he was concerned about the decision and would hold talks with the other independents, including Tony Windsor, and the Greens to have it overturned. "This is the worst form of false economy," Senator Xenophon said.

"What it will do is cost-shift to the public sector . . . and public sector pharmacists say they won't be able to cope. The whole issue with chemotherapy is it's time-critical.

"The patient can't afford to be on a waiting list. It has to be done on the same day."

The Cancer Council has expressed concern that the looming impasse between private providers and the government could have an impact on cancer treatment in regional areas.

Australian Private Hospitals Association chief executive Michael Roff said private hospitals would face cost increases as a result of the decision and even a small reduction of services of 10 per cent would mean 20,000 cancer patients being forced on to the public system.

He said to recoup costs, private hospitals would have to charge patients about $100 extra a treatment. Some patients required several treatments a week.

"In the majority of cases, private hospitals won't be able to pass those on to private patients because our contracts with health funds prevent that," Mr Roff said.

He said the outcome would vary from hospital to hospital depending on how they were supplied. "Some hospitals will be able to continue providing service," he said. "Some have indicated they will limit the types of services that are provided. Some have indicated they are looking at capping the number of treatments they provide to minimise the hospital's financial exposure. And some have indicated that they have no option but to cease providing chemotherapy services altogether."

St Andrew's Toowoomba Hospital chief executive Ray Fairweather said the increased costs that would be passed on to the chemotherapy unit would make the hospital's financial situation untenable.

"It puts us in a very difficult situation whereby we either accept the cut, which is virtually impossible for us to do so, or we consider closing the service, which is the likely scenario."

Mr Fairweather said the facility had opened an upgrade - from 15 chairs to 25 chairs funded through the federal government's regional cancer care incentive - on November 12.

"The paint has only just dried. And now with the federal government announcing this reduction, and the passing on of those costs to the private hospital, we are in a situation where we have to consider very seriously the situation of closing the service virtually from December 1," he said.

The facility provides 7700 patient treatments a year and serves the Toowoomba region as well as western Queensland and northern NSW.

A Health Department spokeswoman said the December 1 price cut for Docetaxel would bring the price the government paid into line with the market price. For many years, pharmacists had been charging the government 20 to 75 per cent above market rates, meaning the government had paid in some instances $2800 above the market price, she said.

She said prices paid by cancer patients for PBS medicines were not affected by the price reduction.

"Pharmacists and hospitals cannot charge patients extra for PBS medicines," the spokeswoman said. "The department is aware that some private hospitals and pharmacists are concerned that Docetaxel price reduction may impact on the viability of providing chemotherapy drugs in some pharmacy settings.

"It is important to recognise that the PBS pays for the cost of the medicine, and the clinical services pharmacists provide in this sector are supported through funding arrangements with the hospitals.

"Therefore, as this relates to pharmacy dispensing remuneration, I have encouraged the (Pharmacy) Guild to provide specific examples to my department of where the current dispensing fee structure may not meet the cost of providing the dispensing service.

"Without this information, the government cannot be drawn on whether pharmacists or hospitals are appropriately funding the services provided to cancer patients."

Ian Roos, the chairman of advocacy group canSpeak, said one of the biggest concerns for patients was cost. "Many have lost their jobs, there is a burden on their family to take time off to travel to get treatment. They do not need this additional worry."

Jeep offends the Sistahood, proof that there is NOTHING WRONG in the World

Outrage over Jeep's 'sexist' Facebook picture of bikini girl in army gear

A PHOTO of a scantily clad woman on Jeep Australia's Facebook page has caused a social media storm, with outraged users decrying the company as sexist.
Yesterday Jeep Australia published a picture on its Facebook page of a woman posing on an army jeep in bikini bottoms and a tight T-shirt reading "I love Marine Boys''.

The caption on the photo, which has done the rounds of the internet since at least 2007, read "Defence force budget cuts may not be a bad thing. Surely this Jeep and uniform are less expensive than what is currently used?'


Within minutes the post had attracted a flurry of negative comments from angry users complaining it was degrading to women, advertising website Mumbrella reports.
"Yuck. How sexist,'' wrote one female commenter, while another wrote "You just defined your target market. Goodbye!''
"Who let the intern post this one?'' wrote a male user.

The post was later deleted from the Jeep Australia Facebook page.

When asked about Jeep Australia's suggestion that changing its female uniforms to bikini bottoms and T-shirts would help save money, a spokeswoman for the Australian Defence Force said it had no response.

Fiat Chrysler Australia, Jeep Australia's parent company, did not respond to requests for comment.


...and this is all Wendy and her legions of followers have to worry about?

Whilst REAL MEN were planning the destruction of Islamic Savagery, Hussein Obama was doing what ? Oh that's right he's on the other side.

Civilized Man plan their SURVIVAL

MEN of Israel, discuss the elimination of the unending Islamic attacks upon Israel,whilst the "civilized world" and the Muslim puppet UN calls for "restraint".

Where has the 'Civilized world" been the past 20 years? Oh that's right it has been financing and aiding Israel's Islamic ASSASSINS.
The time has come again for the "Civilized World' to FUCK OFF and watch whilst Israel restores CIVILIZATION to the "Middle East " in spite of the "Civilized World's" best efforts to ensure the Savage reigns supreme  over the "Civilized World"
We could very well be witnessing the beginning of the end as they say, a terrorist friendly at best and  facilitator and cheer leader in the White House,Husein Obama, has just been re elected by a "switched on Multicultural Friendly electorate" ... (I assume that's the only possible excuse for his re election)
Now the only Adults in the only Democracy in the Middle East have to fend for them selves.
Israel, has rightly decided, it's time to "boogie" time to "jive" time to go with THEIR feelings, time to send those who Hussein Obama has decreed the "Civilized World" must "Respect" back to the Satanic Shit House's they were vomited from.

Ford sacks more than 212 workers in Vic

MORE than 212 Ford workers at the company's Victorian plants have been sacked after a slump in car sales and cuts to production.

The Geelong and Broadmeadows plants were shut for the day on Friday as 212 devastated workers were told during one-on-one meetings they would be going home without a job.

One sacked assembly plant worker who had worked at Ford for more than a decade said it was unfair to be let go with no reason given.

"Yeah (it's a) shock. I'm young and fit," the worker, who didn't want to be named, told AAP.

"Life's gone, you know.

"I feel bad, but what can you do, you know?"

Other workers who kept their jobs, such as shop floor worker Ronald Landverde, said watching colleagues lose theirs was stressful.

"People we thought were safe, they won't be there on Monday," he said.

"The morale is down.

"It's hard to get another job."

Ford announced in July it would slash 440 jobs at the two plants by November. Redeployment, in-house transfers and 118 voluntary redundancies still left 212 jobs to be cut.

Ford Australia president and chief executive Bob Graziano said it was a difficult day for all Ford employees.

"Although we have taken every possible step to find redeployment opportunities within other areas of our business and offered redundancies on a voluntary basis first, it has proven necessary to implement compulsory redundancies as well," he said in a statement.

Mr Graziano said the action was necessary to ensure the business was structured in line with demand and to remain as efficient as possible for the future of the remaining 2,900 employees.

Australian Manufacturing Workers Union spokesman Dave Smith says he is satisfied with how Ford handled the difficult process.

He said all levels of government should do more to support automotive jobs.

Ford received a $103 million assistance package from the state and federal governments and its US parent company in January this year.

At the time, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the money would create 300 jobs.

But federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says the government assistance has been ineffective and has failed to protect jobs.

"Sadly we seem to have yet another situation where the prime minister has been spending money but not getting the kind of result that the Australian people are entitled to expect," he said on Friday.

Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan said the government would do all it could to support the sacked workers.

Asked if the package was a good investment, Mr Swan replied, "We will never give up supporting Australian workers and ensure we've got competitive Australian industry."

Mr Swan attacked opposition treasury spokesman Joe Hockey's comments that "protection is not the answer" for a thriving Australian auto industry and Australian car makers are not making vehicles consumers want.

Mr Swan said the comments were "derogatory" and Mr Hockey should "have a bit of heart".

"The fact is we do produce a good product in this country and it employs tens of thousands of Australian workers," he said.

"I respect the hard work that they've put in and I believe that other people in the political system ought to do the same and not be out there talking down the industry."

Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu said the government had a transition program to help sacked Ford workers.
