Dear President Chávez,
We, the undersigned citizens of Australia, would like to extend a warm invitation for you to visit our country. We have watched developments in Venezuela with great interest. We have been impressed by the great effort that your government has taken to improve the living standards of the majority of Venezuelans. We have also noted with keen attention the moves that your government has begun to make to create a society based on popular participation in all spheres of society—from the workplace up to the national government.
Although we are on the opposite side of the globe we feel that our shared ideals of social justice and democracy bring us close together. Every country has its own traditions and culture and has to find its own solutions, but what Venezuela has been able to achieve in so little time will be a source of inspiration and ideas for many in Australia.

“that our shared ideals of social justice and democracy bring us close together”

“…..source of inspiration and ideas for many in Australia.”

In this light we believe that a visit to our country by yourself would not only help to improve the awareness of the Australian people of developments in Venezuela, but also be an unparalleled opportunity to strengthen the ties of friendship and solidarity between our two peoples.
All signatures will be posted to Nelson Davila, Venezuela’s charge d’affaires in Australia, Canberra.(Todas las firmas de invitación serán enviadas a Nelson Dávila, Encargado de Negocios de Venezuela en Australia, Canberra)
If you would like to confirm the signature of yourself or you organisation for identification and for promotion of President Chavez' visit please contact us: Jody Betzien 0425 887 078 or email info@venezuelasolidarity.org

Rudd backtracks on socialist label
Samantha Maiden and Verity Edwards
The Australian
December 15, 2006
KEVIN Rudd has junked a pledge to remove the word socialism from the Labor Party's constitution just a day after denouncing it as an "arcane, 19th-century" doctrine.
Three years ago he declared himself "an old-fashioned Christian socialist", but yesterday he was busily denouncing socialism and also backflipping on a 2001 push to remove it from the ALP's constitution.
Mr Rudd has previously declared the ALP's socialist dogma of controlling "production, distribution and exchange" had nostalgia value only and was "entirely unmemorable".
When asked yesterday whether he would now take action, the Labor leader changed tack and said he had no plans to pursue the reforms at next year's ALP national conference.
"I have no plans of doing so," he said in Adelaide yesterday.
"I've already indicated where I stand philosophically in terms of the questions of my own beliefs, my own values and the priorities and objectives which I believe for a modern, progressive, democratic party.
"These are core social democratic values and I'm proud to be a committed social democrat as I have been all my life."
Mr Rudd's emphatic rejection of socialism was frontpage news in Melbourne's The Age yesterday. The newspaper's website also included video images of the Labor leader denouncing socialism but admitting he did not want workers being left to the "dung heap of the market".
"I am not a socialist. I have never been a socialist and I never will be a socialist," Mr Rudd said.
However, his bold statement of values was immediately undermined by the emergence of another declaration in 2003, when he was quoted in another Fairfax newspaper as saying: "I am an old-fashioned Christian socialist."
Mr Rudd also cites Keir Hardie, founder of the 19th century British Christian socialist movement, as one of his heroes.
In a homage to another of his political heroes, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who fought to expunge socialism from the British Labour Party's constitution in 1994, Mr Rudd has repeatedly said the ALP should follow suit. "The socialist objective ... should be abolished," he said in 2002. "While we may not have taken the socialist objective seriously ... there are others outside the party who have - and have been fundamentally alienated by it."
Socialism has clearly been on the Labor leader's mind for a while. In his maiden speech to parliament, Mr Rudd said: "Nambour, for those of you who are unfamiliar with it, was not a major centre of revolutionary socialism in the 1970s - the cane growers hall even less so."
Former Labor Party president Barry Jones said yesterday the ALP's constitution had already been updated during a special national conference in 1981.
"(But) if there's going to be a broad debate about what we stand for that's terrific because, in a way, for some decades we just haven't talked about it," he said.
Mr Jones pointed to a discussion in his autobiography, A Thinking Reed, which refers to comments by Polish philosopher Leszek Kilakowski, who said: "The trouble with the social democratic idea is that it does not stock and does not sell any of the existing ideological commodities which various totalitarian movements offer dream-hungry youth."

PM turns his failure into a $1 billion disaster

By Andrew Bolt
The Daily Telegraph
April 14, 2010

KEVIN Rudd spent his first two years in power smashing stuff.

Now, in this election year, he's spending up to $1 billion of your money to fix the damage.

That's right: Rudd is spending at least $1 billion to fix the havoc he's unleashed by handing out free insulation, splurging on overpriced school buildings, relaxing boat people laws, letting in an unsustainable 300,000 people a year - and more.

Oh, I know. You think I'm far too hard on a PM with the air of a particularly methodical Christian dentist. But one disillusioned day you will hear from many who now work with him that how Rudd seems is bizarrely different to how he is.

I don't just mean that this prissy churchgoer is privately a foul-mouthed, arrogant and paranoid control freak, but that many of his brightest ideas swiftly flop.

The truth is his skill at spinning has so far saved Rudd's reputation as a manager.

But check the substance rather than the image and you find he already qualifies as possibly the most incompetent prime minister since World War II.

And, no, I haven't forgotten Whitlam.

Take Monday's announcement that his Government will spend another $14 million on a taskforce to tackle the massive rorting of its $16.2 billion school stimulus scheme.

This so-called "Building the Education Revolution" spendathon was always destined to be a colossal waste.

But even I couldn't predict the rorting.

In NSW builders have charged $800,000 a time for more than 40 covered outdoor learning areas which state government costings say should have cost $250,000 each.

In Victoria, even a dying school with just two children was given $150,000, and from everywhere came complaints that BER developers were charging "management fees" of up to 21 per cent.

That's all your money, folks. Blown in what some now call the Builders' Early Retirement fund. Now the Government is spending even more of your money - $14 million - on a taskforce to stop the looting of what's left of our $16.2 billion.

Or to seem to.

Why did Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard only now announce this "safeguard" when it's been clear for months that your taxes were being wasted like never before in our history?

Three reasons, all squalid.

First, Sunday Night on Channel Seven last weekend ran a devastating report on this scandal. Second, it's election year, and a taskforce makes you seem you're dealing with the problem.

Sunday Night “Building Education Revolution” report.

And third, although Gillard refuses to admit it, she has an advance report on this BER racket from the Auditor-General that is likely to be devastating, and it's a fair bet she set up her taskforce to short-circuit the criticism she'll get when it's released.

This BER rorting is the biggest Rudd waste so far. But the more graphic symbol is his free insulation scheme.

Rudd barged ahead even after his own department was warned in writing a year ago that rushing out these freebies could attract shysters, burn houses and kill people.

It all happened, as Rudd was warned, with four installers dead, 120 homes set on fire and more than 300,000 homes fitted with potentially lethal or near-useless junk.

To fix the disaster and compensate the losers, the Government may now have to spend anything up to $1 billion. It also means taxpayers must pay millions to take out insulation that Rudd made them pay millions to put in. It couldn't get crazier.

Correction. It already has. See, Rudd meant this giveaway to "stimulate" the economy and put people in jobs. But the day before Easter (a good time to bury bad news) his government announced, in effect, that his insulation scheme had killed off the very industry he'd meant it to help.

The Government said it would now give insulation manufacturers $15 million to help them stockpile all the batts and foil they can no longer sell, now that Rudd's scheme has stuck the stuff in a million more ceilings.

Those stockpiles of unsellable batts are a clear sign that these once healthy businesses have been poleaxed. Indeed, an industry which once predicted Rudd's free insulation plan would create 4000 jobs now says its collapse has cost the jobs of 6000.

That's why Rudd has spent another $41 million of your money to help retrain the people sacked from an industry he spent billions to "stimulate".

And still this lunatic incompetence doesn't end. To fix this mess before the election, Rudd has switched his entire emissions trading team on to it.

Remember them? They're the 154 public servants Rudd originally hired to work on what until this year he called "the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time" - the man-made global warming he told us his great new green tax on everything would help stop.

But that tax is now blocked in the Senate, and public support for it is falling like a batt out of hell, so Rudd has put "the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time" on the backburner and set his $57 million-a-year team of planet-savers to work on insulation instead.

And still this comedy is not done. Rudd last weekend froze the processing of refugee applications from Sri Lanka and Afghanistan to stop the tide of boats he unleashed by weakening our boat people laws two years ago. Boat people were a problem John Howard had fixed, cutting arrivals to just 18 boats over six years. Rudd unfixed that problem by going soft, so he's now luring in more than 10 boats a month.

The Christmas Island detention centre is full and fixing this will cost hundreds of millions more of your dollars, with the 2000 people who've arrived just this year costing some $80,000 each to process.

Then there's the whole new "Department of Population" Rudd abruptly created to hose down the alarm he'd raised by not only letting in a record 300,000 immigrants last year, but by then endorsing predictions that our population will explode to 36 million by 2050.

And we still don't know how much in total we must pay for all Rudd's other failures – Fuel Watch, Grocery Watch, the scrapped tender of his first broadband scheme, the lobbying for his pan-Asian body, the botched Green Loans plan, the rorted solar hot-water scheme, the "Ideas Summit" fiasco and the new nuclear disarmament body.

More amazing is that Rudd retains the air of a man who knows just what he's doing, and is across every detail. Watch him now sell his latest multi-billion-dollar plan - a health shake-up that Ken Baxter, former head of the premier's departments in the Victoria and NSW, warns will create a bureaucratic monster that will eat money.

But look at Rudd. See how assured and competent he seems, even as his last schemes still fall around his ears?

Amazing gift, that, and you're paying billions for it.

Beijing’s highest ranking representative in Australia, Australian Prime Minister, Lu Kewen aka Kevin 07,has finally ground to a halt, he simply has run out of acronyms, bumper stickers, and babies to kiss, he is now after two years as one commentator said “haunting hospital wards” pushing his new plan for Australia’s crippled bankrupt FREE Health Care system , Medicare.

Lu Kewen electioneering in Hong Kong 2007

The word has gone out for his and his party’s most loyal media cheer squad, the Australian taxpayer funded, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) to go into damage control and try and get some positive spin on their PM by having the Messiah praising him from the White House as the Messiah’s man down under, who was so much like,of all things the Messiah himself.

America is now bankrupt, Australia is far from that however when Lu Kewen took office in November 2007 he inherited from the previous conservative Howard government a surplus of some $25 BILLION dollars a little over two years into his first term he has turned that surplus into a $300 Billion deficit.

He is with doubt the most incompetent Prime Minister in the history of the nation he and his government make the infamous far left Labor Whitlam government of the 70’s appear conservative in comparison, its no wonder Hussein Obama has such high regard for Lu Kewen, Kevin 07, or as Bill Clinton calls him “Prime Minister Rude”.

Are we seriously meant to believe that the differential between what these buildings cost and what the Labor Government SAYS they cost, is simply going to be allowed to increase the bottom line of the Labor Party’s preferred contractors ? How many Swiss bank accounts have been set up by Rudd and Company since this SCAM started?

This SCAM is been financed with borrowed money,some $16 Billion,from the Labor Party’s head office in Beijing, after the SCAM is over, it will be left to Australians and their Children/ Grand children/ Great Grand Children to repay the $16 Billion Lu Kewen SCAMMED in order to line the pockets of the Labor Party and their “preferred contractor” and Union mates.

Unions grab $80m slice of school building funds

Rick Wallace
The Australian
March 20, 2010

UNIONS have exploited a loophole to have almost all schools stimulus upgrades in Victoria declared "major projects" in order to pocket site allowances estimated to total at least $80 million.

The Master Builders Association of Victoria said the allowances - supposed to account for harsh conditions on large buildings - were an "abomination" and should never have applied to most education revolution projects. "We have a regime where the unions exploited the building education revolution to maximise wages for construction workers," executive director Brian Welch said. "It's just another add-on, and because the employers don't have the capacity to take it away from the unions, it stays and it grows."

The main building union, the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union, won the right to site allowances of between $2.40 and $4.60 per worker per hour through a series of cases at the Victorian Building Industry Disputes Panel.

The CFMEU confirmed it had since spread the allowances across almost all school jobs and said workers would use the extra cash for dinner or a film.

In Victoria, a "major project" is defined as anything above $2.4m. Once that threshold is reached, the sliding scale of allowances applies. Many schools stimulus projects fell short of the $2.4m mark, so the CFMEU sought to "bundle" together all projects undertaken by individual builders to get over the threshold.

The Weekend Australian has obtained two judgments from panel chairman Bob Merriman in which he green-lights the union's bid. "In considering all aspects of this matter, I am convinced the union's claim in this matter is justifiable and meets the requirements of the principles outlined above," Mr Merriman ruled.

Mr Welch said the MBAV supported the $16.2 billion Building the Education Revolution stimulus, but the exploitation of the site allowance had hurt profits.

"The costs escalated and not only applied to the workers for the construction company but all the subcontractors who walked on to the site," he said.

"It didn't aid employment, it just put more money in the pockets of building workers."

CFMEU state secretary Bill Oliver made no apologies for securing the allowance, saying unions were used to builders artificially breaking up projects to minimise site allowance.

"A site allowance is extra money in the pocket of workers, which will be spent on taking their families out to dinner, or to see a movie, or to buy a new pair of socks - all of which helps the economy and serves the ultimate purpose of the stimulus funding," Mr Oliver said.

The MBAV wants the panel to be abolished or an appeals mechanism created. "There is a flaw in the system, which we pointed out to the (state) government; they didn't do a great deal about it so the industry is now paying $2.40 for every school no matter what," he said.

"Why haven't they done anything about it? Because I think they are as intimidated by the unions as much as anyone else."

Labour costs usually make up about 50 per cent of a construction project's cost. The site allowances add 6 per cent to the wages bill, and 3 per cent to overall cost. Applied across Victoria's $2.64bn share of the last two rounds of the stimulus, it amounts to $80m.

Mr Welch said employers would be powerless to strip the allowances out of future agreements. "The unions are going to be out of the cage," he said.

"The Australian Building and Construction Commission is waning, the ability to control and temper their conduct is diminishing and the feral elements want to exert their influence."

The state and federal governments declined to comment.

Rudd’s Illegal’s on their way to Australia

 

Flotilla of asylum seekers heads to Oz

By Charles Miranda
The Daily Telegraph
April 12, 2010  

A LARGE flotilla of boats is expected to sail from the Indonesian archipelago within days as people smugglers urge asylum seekers to leave now or risk not getting into Australia.

“It’s about getting the balance right”

"The advice I have this morning is that capacity remains on Christmas Island,"

“My name’s Kevin, I’m from Queensland and I’m here to help”

Who’s ya Daddy?

People smugglers, who use the internet to keep up with Australian immigration changes, are duping refugees by claiming they can beat visa changes if boats leave now.

An undercover people smuggler confirmed to The Daily Telegraph that hundreds of refugees were rushing to organise boats for the journey to Australia.

Yesterday two more boats arrived, carrying a combined 55 passengers and six crew, the third and carrying a combined 55 passengers and six crew, the third and fourth boats intercepted since the suspension of visas came into force last week.

The arrivals come as The Daily Telegraph can reveal a bidding war between people smugglers has seen the price of passage to Australia drop 50 per cent to about $US4000 a head for passengers.

Authorities have identified at least 15 people-smuggling gangs in Malaysia and Indonesia, who have mobilised hundreds of refugees, predominantly from Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Sri Lanka.

Other refugees have been hiding out in the Cipanas mountains outside Jakarta as well as among high immigrant populations in Puncak in Jakarta's south and Sarina in the north.

But they were now rushing to organise boats off islands about Sumatra, following internet reports of the visa freeze. About 80 per cent of asylum seekers heading to Australia by boat are either from Afghanistan or Sri Lanka.

There are genuine fears the rush will lead to overcrowding on unseaworthy boats which may not make the already perilous journey to Christmas Island off Australia's mainland.

Yesterday an Iraqi-born former people-smuggler turned Australia police informant said the visa freeze was too little too late and the dash had already begun.

The man, who calls himself Shadi, told The Daily Telegraph people-smugglers were internet-savvy and were using the visa changes to direct the people-smuggling market.

"That is why so many people [are] coming now," he said.

Shadi, who worked undercover for police in Indonesia until the end of 2002, when people-smugglers wanted to kill him and he was brought to Australia as a protected witness, continues to provide critical intelligence to authorities on the movement.

He identified five Iraqi or Pakistani-born smugglers operating in Indonesia and Malaysia and said they were preparing boats. "Your laws are not strong enough to stop them," he said.

An Iraqi Kurd is being hunted by the AFP and local police in Indonesia as the king-pin of the human trafficking misery. The number of so-called illegal entry vessels stopped in Australian waters this year now stands at 42.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott doubted the processing freeze would stop the boats.

"Certainly, the people smugglers, I think, will remain in business because they suspect, as I do, that this is an election fix. It's not a solution," Mr Abbott said.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said he stood by the visa changes: "Our obligations are to deal with genuine asylum seekers, and those who are not genuine asylum seekers, to send them back to their countries of origin."

HMAS Childers finally a chance to speak the truth.

Christmas Island isn't full: Rudd

By national political editor Simon Kearney
The Sunday Telegraph
April 04, 2010 12:01AM

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd says there is more room on Christmas Island for the increasing flow of asylum seekers.

Another boat of 79 asylum seekers is reportedly being taken to Christmas Island today and it is understood the air shuttle service between Christmas Island and mainland Australia was ferrying another 63 asylum seekers to Brisbane last night.

The 63 were understood to have been granted asylum and were to be placed in a Brisbane motel last night for a medical check-up and to undergo some more processing formalities before being released.

Speaking at The Lodge yesterday Mr Rudd left open the option of altering the policy on asylum seekers as international and regional security circumstances changed. "It's important that we place this in its context," he said.

However he continued to deny detention facilities on Christmas Island had exceeded capacity despite some reports more than 2000 people were in the facility which has a maximum capacity of 1200.

"The advice I have this morning is that capacity remains on Christmas Island," Mr Rudd said.

Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said it was clear asylum seekers were being drawn to Australia, not pushed by international and regional conflicts.

Easy money in a desperate trade

Exclusive Investigation by Charles Miranda
The Daily Telegraph
April 12, 2010

ALONG Jalan Jaksa, the men move suspiciously from cafe to cafe, boarding house to hotel.

"You want to go live in Australia, we have a big boat and it's ready to go now," says one Iraqi-born man to some of the illegal immigrants hiding out on the busy Jakarta street.

There is no need to wait or prepare, to plot or plan for the hundreds of desperate illegal immigrants in Indonesia of Afghan, Iranian, Sri Lankan and Iraqi origin.

"It really is that easy," says former people smuggler "Shadi".

He clicks his fingers.

"I could go now, today, and get 50 passengers for Australia just like that for you and you can get half a million dollars US, not Aussie, just like that."

Shadi should know. He tried to make it to Christmas Island but when things didn't work out he became a people smuggler himself and for three years helped send more people to Australia than he can remember. The number is in the thousands.

But in the third phase of his three years walking about Jalan Jaksa he became one of the Australian Federal Police's most significant covert agents and later one of the first to be given a protected new life in Australia - a thanks from a grateful nation.

He not only exposed the men behind the smuggling but single-handedly stopped dozens of boats from coming to Australia, testified against some of the biggest people-smugglers in South East Asia and, more importantly, laid out a detailed map of the routes for thousands plotting to come to Australia.

Today he is again helping authorities hunt the smugglers and track the boats preparing to make the voyage.

Shadi yesterday agreed to speak with The Daily Telegraph to reveal the true extent of the problem and how and why it is about to get a lot worse.

His story is common. He went to Jordan in 1997 with a plan to be smuggled to Sweden.

After a three-year wait for Swedish passage Shadi decided instead to go to Australia and immediately flew to Jakarta to prepare. He made one failed voyage with 300 others and just remembered the huge waves and the dread he would die at sea. It put him off but he felt sorry for his fellow passengers, abandoned by the head smuggler after two failed attempts to cross the straits, and decided to help them leave. He also spoke English - a bonus in Jakarta - so he became an accidental people smuggler.

He was the moneyman and recruiter. He was the quartermaster buying the supplies for the voyages, including life vests and essentials such as bags of sugar, tea, bread and water. He even had a collection of rubber stamps to put fake entry and exit visa marks in passports.

The would-be Aussie asylum seekers generally flew into Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia first from Iraq or Jordan. They would stay at a specific hotel off Jalan Tun Sambanthan before being flown to Jakarta. At Jakarta International, a corrupt airport official would be paid $1000 in US cash to open a side door to the airport and the mostly Arab men would slip out to a waiting bus without having to pass through the border gates. Their passports would be stamped on the bus or later at a hotel with a fake Customs stamp and entry/exit visas, used should they be stopped by local police at a later time. They would then be bussed to Sarina in North Jakarta where they would congregate at the local McDonald's waiting for orders. Others would be taken to Cipanos in the mountains or Puncak, another staging post, before setting sail from Lombok or Sumatra or even Cambodia. Intelligence points to these haunts being used today.

There are no special pitches, no facts, no planning or training. People are ready to just go. For the smugglers it was easy money. A boat cost on average $US20,000, the local Indonesian fisherman crew and corrupt airport officials would cost another $US20,000 but each passenger would pay between $2000 to $10,000, according to market demands.

"I know how to sell it, I know the places to talk to people, where they are. I know how to get a passenger to get his hand in his pocket and give it to me. It's very easy," Shadi says.

"You don't need to sell this, or say things like government will pay you money if you go, no one says that. It's just that everybody knows Australia is much better than their own country. That is it. We know by TV, newspaper, internet, you know what the life is like here, Western life. We give you promise to get there and we will try again and again and again until we get you there. We give you promise to leave in two weeks and if it's longer than two weeks we will pay for your hotel, accommodation, whatever."

Some people smugglers left when they had 60 passengers. Others waited for a minimum 200.

It costs about $US50,000 to organise a boat but with just 100 people $500,000 can be made.

It's a trade and the best boat, price and reputation gets the lion's share. One chief smuggler would go on the asylum seekers' boat as far as international waters, to assure them all was well, before a second shadowing smaller boat would take him off and he would leave them to their fate.

Meanwhile, the flood of asylum seekers now rushing Australia was a direct result of the Labor Government's policies, according to the men who are dispatching the boats.

For weeks, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has denied that the sharp rise in the number of refugee boats entering Australian waters had anything to do with his softening of his Liberal predecessor's hardline Pacific Solution doctrine.

Mr Rudd said the 29 per cent rise in arrivals was a worldwide phenomenon with other Western nations experiencing similar rises.

But according to a former smuggler now living in Australia, those coming know the change in policy now meant quick entry to the country and a strong likelihood refugee status would be granted within three monthinstead of years.

"The immigration rules in Australia were changed and everyone knows it and that's why so many are now coming," the smuggler, who can be identified only as Shadi, said yesterday.

"Before, the reasons it stopped was John Howard absolutely, he deterred some boats by force and Nauru Island where they [boat people] knew they could get stuck for one or two or three years. We and the passengers would check the internet daily to see what Canberra was doing and we all knew these things.

"This is very hard for everyone to imagine being in a camp like a jail. The idea is to get in quick, get a visa then return home to see family and then bring them all to Australia. No one wants to be without family for years under old laws. Now [with] new laws it's easy and quick, maybe weeks or a few months. You can call people on the mobile, you stay two or three weeks at Christmas Island then they call others."

Shadi said when the rules changed, the snake heads - leaders of the human smuggling operations - cut the price for a seat on their boat from $US10,000 to about $US4000.

HMAS Childers finally a chance to speak the truth.

 

This incident by Lu Kewen aka.Kevin Rudd and his Australian Labor Party and their financiers, the Australian Council of Trade Unions, preferred immigrants,successful criminal enterprise to enter Australia via invasion,has seen the crew of HMAS Childers slandered and ridiculed by the usual suspects aka. the Australian Labor Party and their left wing supporters, for causing / not doing enough / to prevent the incident or just for being there in their way as they executed their criminal act.

The fact that these Afghani criminals attempted to murder Australian Naval servicemen and women is of no concern for Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 and his Beijing,Main stream media, ACTU sponsored regime,in fact Lu Kewen granted these criminals visas in exchange for their attempted murder of the crew of the HMAS Childers and the Murder of five of their fellow co conspirators / invaders.

Full marks to the crew at 60 Minutes Australia for exposing the TRUTH.

Boat blast report triggers call to revoke visas

SMH
LINDSAY MURDOCH AND YUKO NARUSHIMA
March 18, 2010

THE opposition has seized on a coroner's findings to accuse the government of acting irresponsibly by giving visas to Afghan refugees blamed for a deadly boat blast last year.

The Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, is under pressure to revoke the protection visas handed to three Afghans accused of plotting the April 16 blast on the boat known as SIEV 36. The men received the visas before an inquiry into the blast was complete.

Yesterday the Northern Territory Coroner, Greg Cavanagh, named three men as being part of a plan to cripple the boat and start a fire so that they could not be forced to return to Indonesia.

He found that Arman Ali Brahimi, Ghulam Mohammadi and Sabzali Salman had, with others, collaborated to lie to him about the explosion that killed five Afghan men and endangered Defence personnel who had boarded the boat.

The Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, demanded to know who had decided to grant the men visas and challenged Mr Rudd to cancel them. ''My question is to the Prime Minister. It is simple, it is clear and it should not require him to read any briefing notes … Will he now revoke the visas of those three individuals who were found by the Northern Territory coroner to be involved in a plan to set fire to the vessel?''

Under taunts of being soft on criminals, Mr Rudd said the coroner's report had been forwarded to the Northern Territory police, who would decide whether charges would be laid.

''I am advised by the Immigration Minister that that decision [to grant visas] was made independently by his department through a careful and rigorous assessment of the merits of each individual case,'' Mr Rudd said.

But the opposition immigration spokesman, Scott Morrison, said the Immigration Minister could decide to deport the men on character grounds now.

''This is a government where ministers and the Prime Minister are more interested in protecting themselves from accountability than they are in making decisions and taking responsibility,'' he said.

Mr Cavanagh found the asylum seekers colluded to lie about the explosion on the boat, near Ashmore Reef. He said most of the asylum seekers had known of the plan to cripple the boat, despite their denials.

"Because they have all told similar lies, I can only conclude that they have all to some extent colluded with each other and decided as a group to lie to this inquest," Mr Cavanagh said.

Mr Cavanagh said one or more asylum seekers deliberately ignited petrol which had been spilt into the bilge, causing an almost instantaneous explosion.

The Immigration Minister, Chris Evans, said he was ''disturbed'' by the findings but would await the findings of any criminal proceedings before making a decision on deportation. Northern Territory police had supported his department's decision to give visas to all survivors of the boat blast, he said.

The Coroner also found the explosion could have been avoided if Defence personnel had properly searched the boat for petrol and confiscated cigarette lighters and matches from those on board.

The explosion would probably have been avoided if Defence had not served an "inappropriate" warning notice on the asylum seekers, telling them to consider returning to Indonesia.

Mr Cavanagh praised the bravery and professionalism of three personnel and said more people might have died but for their actions.

He found Defence members had rescued their colleagues first but he could not criticise that given the circumstances.

There has been NO announcement by the Beijing sponsored Lu Kewen,aka. Kevin 07 Labor Government, regarding the hunting down and arrest of the criminals responsible for the Murder of their five co conspiritors  and the attempted murder of the crew members of the HMAS Childers.

I am however sure that come time to enrol to vote at the upcoming federal election Lu Kewen’s financiers the Australian Council of Trade Unions will not have any trouble locating them and all the other criminal entrants they have invited to Australia, I mean after all if you are been fed housed and clothed by the Australian Social Security System for the rest of your and your children’s lives who ya gonna vote for ? the hand that feeds you of course, just take a tour of Sydney’s Occupied Territories any working day and see who it is that does not have to go to work,you wont see any Australians.

Australians should have listened to Lu Kewen’s aka. Kevin 07 Labor Party’s celebrity Muslim terrorist apologist, MSmedia darling,and Polygamist groupie Keysar Trad, back in his article published in the 16th issue of Nida'ul Islam magazine (http://www.islam.org.au), December - January 1996-97] when he warned Australians …….

 

The Trads

“What will a starving person do (they are able to fly via 747 from  Afghanistan / Middle East to Indonesia, however they are starving? ) when he wants food? They will no longer respect these laws which were drafted in a cocoon away from the reality that the land of Australia does not belong to white European man.(Australians) In fact, if the original inhabitants had their way, or if we want to employ Pauline Hanson justice, then white man should pack his bags and leave this country, for your people Pauline, have been the worst of guests!

The criminal dregs (Australians) of white society colonised this country, and now, they only take the select choice of other societies, and the descendants of these criminal dregs tell us that they are better than us. And because we are not elitists, we tolerate them.( great to know that the Australian Labor Party’s new best Muslim friends are able “tolerate” Australians, is that before or after they they illegally enter Australia and go on to Social Security for life ?)  Yet they want us to assimilate, perhaps they will only become satisfied when we each die our hair red, wear blue/green contact lenses, and operate a fish and chips shop, otherwise, we would not be truly assimilating, would we?

Rudds’ Australia: Iran,Australia and North Korea a threat to internet via censorship regulation

 

Media rights group puts Australia on internet watchlist

SMH
March 12, 2010

A top media rights watchdog has listed Australia along with Iran and North Korea in a report on countries that pose a threat of internet censorship.

Paris-based media rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on Thursday put Australia and South Korea on its list of countries "under surveillance" in its "Internet Enemies" report.

Australia was listed for the government's plan to block access to websites featuring material such as rape, drug use, bestiality and child sex abuse. Critics say the plan is a misguided measure that will harm civil liberties by blocking a broader range of content than just nasty material.

 

The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, has said he plans to introduce legislation by the end of next week that would require ISPs to block a blacklist of "refused classification" websites for all Australians. It is not clear if the government will meet this deadline; a spokeswoman for Senator Conroy said the legislation would be introduced "after it has been considered by caucus and cabinet".

In South Korea, the RSF report added, "draconian laws are creating too many specific restrictions on web users by challenging their anonymity and promoting self-censorship".

Lu Kewen aka. Australian PM “Kevin 07” Rudd

“It’s all about getting the balance right”

"These countries are worrying us because they have measures that could have repercussions for freedom of expression on the internet," RSF secretary general Jean-Francois Julliard said at an internet rights award ceremony on Thursday.

Russia and Turkey were also added to the watchlist, which is a category below RSF's top "Enemies of the internet", the countries it considers the 12 worst web freedom violators.

These include Saudi Arabia, Burma, China, North Korea, Iran and Vietnam.

"The world's largest netizen prison is in China, which is far out ahead of other countries with 72 detainees, followed by Vietnam and then by Iran, which have all launched waves of brutal attacks on websites in recent months," RSF's report said.

A senior manager of US internet giant Google, David Drummond, said there was an "alarming trend" of government interference in online freedom, not only in countries that are judged to have poor human rights records.

He cited Australia's plans as an example, saying that there "the wide scope of content prohibited could include socially and politically controversial material".

The Australian case "is an example of where these benign intentions can result in the spectre of true censorship", he added, speaking at Thursday's ceremony.

"Here in Europe, even in France, at this very moment, some are tempted by this slippery path of network filtering."

Last month, after Senator Conroy called on YouTube to censor videos in accordance with his filtering scheme, the search giant's head of policy in Australia, Iarla Flynn, said: "The scope of RC is simply too broad and can raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information. RC includes the grey realms of material instructing in any crime from [painting] graffiti to politically controversial crimes such as euthanasia, and exposing these topics to public debate is vital for democracy."

Update on Rudd's internet censorship laws

Americans BEWARE Australian internet to be CENSORED by Australian Labor Party

Compulsory censorship for internet.

Daily Telegraph 29 10 08 Pg. 4

THE Federal Government will make internet censorship compulsory for all Australians and could ban controversial websites on euthanasia and anorexia. Australia's level of net censorship will put it in the same league as China, Cuba, Iran and North Korea.

 

The Government will not let users opt out of the proposed national internet filter. Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy Minister Stephen Conroy said the Government's $44.2 million internet censorship plan would now include two tiers — one level of mandatory filtering for all Australians and an optional level that will provide a "clean feed", censoring adult material. Despite planning to hold "live trials" before the end of the year, Senator Conroy said it was not known what content the mandatory filter would bar, with euthanasia or proanorexia sites on the chopping block. "We are talking about mandatory blocking, where possible, of illegal material," he said.

'Australia's level of net censorship will put it in the same league as China, Cuba, Iran and North Korea. The Government will not let users opt out of the proposed national internet filter.

Polygamy is illegal in Australia, but a Centrelink spokeswoman said it was not the welfare agency’s job to police polygamy law

Growing number of Muslim men and multiple wives exploiting loophole for taxpayer handouts

“Islamic Friendship Association of Australia president Keysar Trad said he believed “not many more than 50″ Muslim families in Australia were polygamist. But he said he also knew of non-Muslim men who had more than one de facto wife who claimed Centrelink payments.

Mr Trad agreed only those who could afford a second wife, without reliance on Centrelink, should marry more than one woman.

“Marriage, whether they are single or plural, I believe in the old adage, they are made in heaven,” he said.“

Multicultural Australia: Islamic “moderate Islamic community leader” warns Australian’s SYDNEY Muslims are ''angry and frustrated'' following sentencing of Five Islamic Terrorists. 

Mrs Trad  reflects “……….It has not been easy and they remember 1998 as their worst year when Trad fell in love - "became obsessed", his wife says - with another woman. In desperation, Hanifeh proposed marriage on her husband's behalf to the other woman. "We were having a terrible time. He fell in love and I wasn't thinking about myself," she says. But his obsession passed. "He became more compassionate after it," Hanifeh says. "God meant for him to go through this experience and it made him a better person and more emotionally aware. It knocked him off his perch."
