Australia gets a new nutty political party
http://www.crikey.com.au/2013/02/11/i-love-pizza-but-anti-multicultural-partys-canberra-launch/
Oh great just what we need an Australian Tea Party run by right wing nutter Danny Naaliah.......He's as nutty as a fruit cake from "Catch The Fire" ministries, a fruitcake Pentecostal movement.
Seems most of their platform while not anti multiculturalism, is anti muslim.... That's gonna win them friends /sarcasm
Great someone else not to vote for.

Australia’s newest political party was launched today with an anti-multicultural, pro-Christian platform — and the help of climate sceptic Christopher Monckton.

Another fine example of the Australian Government looking after its own citizens... NOT
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/13/prisoner-x-israel-admits-holing-australian
Wow just wow!
Another fine example of the Australian Government looking after a citizen of this country. He gets arrested under mysterious circumstances and dies in an Israeli jail. Charming.
So we can expect that if you are an Australian citizen and you get arrested in a foreign land you get lip service and a "bugger off" for your trouble should you ever need help from the Govt.

According to that article the "At no stage during his detention did the Australian government receive any request from the individual or his family to extended consular support." surely if he or the family had wanted intervention by the Australian Consul they would have contacted them? If I was advised that my family member had been arrested and was in prison in Israel I'd be contacting the Australian Consul quick smart.
As the article says, it is all a big murky, why did he apply for Australian Citizenship under 3 different name, I don't understand?
I got set up in kudasai in 81 with a bag of shish the officilas are as corrupt as purple smarties

But why are they not included in the constitution now? Are they technically "non citizens" I'm confused
You can read the constitution here Mud:
http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/Constitution.aspx
This is about putting in an acknowledgment that they were the nation's first inhabitants. The objectionable stuff was taken out in the 1967 referendum.
