In The News

Interesting that that Clive Palmer wants to form a political party but hasn't even registered the party .... Is he just mad or is this a stunt?

Will he sail on the new Titanic when it's built?

FLUTTERING MEN’S HEARTS: Escorted out of the Jenadrivah Heritage and Culture Festival in Riyadh by the Mutawwa – in the most odd, very touchy and personal manner – for being “too handsome”. Hmm… To whom exactly? Why don’t they just kiss while they’re at it.

Forgot to mention, these are not my words, see the article. :)

...hahahahahaha!... I wish!... (I wish that I had his money too)... sorry to smash everyone's illusion but unfortunately I'm not really a handsome man at all... I'm quite average I guess... but my wife loves me so that's all that counts!... (my gay friend at work once told me that he'd turn straight before he'd do me because I've got a face like a dropped pie... I didn't know whether my feelings were hurt or whether I was relieved to know that I was not on his 'hit list' with that snippet of information lol!)...

...so ladies... before you go throwing yourselves at me in abundance... I confess... I'm not really one of those guys... lol!... cheers.
 
Hopefully the Australian Government will continue to strongly lobby the President of Indonesia, and be successful in having clemency granted for both Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran and have their death sentence converted to a life sentence.

Yes ^

You would be hard pressed to find anyone who knows or comes into contact with the boys (including the Jail Governor and guards) who do not support the Clemency application by the boys.

One such person is Lizzie Love:-


"...........Love speaks highly of both men, noting how they have transformed their lives over the past few years.

Sukumaran is undertaking a fine arts degree, while Chan is taking religious studies.

Both men are involved in many of the courses run inside the jail, including drug counselling.

''Those are responsible for improving conditions at Kerobokan,'' Love says.

''When an opportunity to rehabilitate is given, as it is in Kerobokan, then people actually can and do change their lives.

''Andrew and Myuran are just remarkable. They're on death row and every day they get up drug-free and go to work.

''Andrew goes off to give his anti-drug talks to other prisoners. Myuran is in there shovelling dirt to build dog kennels for the assistance dog program we were trying to establish. He organises for teachers to come in, for computers to be fixed, every day. That's what they do.''

The way Kerobokan is depicted in Australia is not only false but may damage Chan and Sukumaran's chances of clemency, says Love, who has lived in Bali for nine years.

''The Indonesians don't like to be seen as a beggar nation,'' she says.

''This is a notorious jail, but there has been an effort to look after prisoners in a humane way … That shows that it is a progressive jail. They like to be seen that way. They want to be seen as humane.''

Gillard stops a boat !

STOP PRESS ... GILLARD MANAGES TO STOP A BOAT !

See here and here

... Hundreds of new asylum seekers were heading towards Australia as the PM took the simulator’s controls and attempted to manoeuvre the SS Woniora along Devonport’s Mersey River.

Naturally, Gillard sunk the thing immediately.

“I think she took the challenge on very well,” Devonport City Council staffer Evonne Ewins told reporters. “At the end of the day, although the vessel did sink, she had a great time.” Well said, Evonne. That’s not a bad summary of Gillard’s entire time in office.

In other news (and obviously not counting the "lost at sea"), last month over 3300 new queue jumping economic opportunists managed to make it through to begin their suckling at the Oz's well overdrawn credit card, and so far this month, another 200 a day have similary managed to take their place over the actual deserving.

I reckon this sounds like a good idea:

We need to dump the UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. I’ve suggested we declare that from now on no refugees will be accepted from any country we deem beforehand to have reasonable internal procedures for guaranteeing safety and human rights. Don’t even bother trying to come.

Adrienne Millbank, researcher at Monash University, proposes something different:


The problem with the 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees is that it legitimises unregulated entry…

Australia may be approaching a tipping point in its always uneasy relationship with the refugee convention… Last year, more than 17,000 asylum-seekers arrived. More than 30,000 are projected for this year… At least 1000 people have drowned at sea…

A growing number of voters think the refugee convention is past its use-by date. Australians see how European countries struggle to integrate large, unplanned inflows of economic migrants and refugees. Familiar with managed humanitarian migration, they see how the refugee convention advantages people on the basis of their capacity to pay, and to play the system, over refugees in greater need.

Australian voters also see the commonwealth budget has blown out by billions of dollars, trying to keep boatpeople out, rescuing, detaining and processing those who manage to get in…

The opposition, however, offers only a return to measures that seem less likely to succeed the second time around and with larger numbers. It offers the depressing prospect of a lengthy, gruelling period of escalating toughness…

The legacy of the Rudd and Gillard policy failures could be that it is no longer possible to return to the halfway solutions that worked in the past. The costs of pretending to uphold obligations under the refugee convention, at least in the way they presently are interpreted, have become too high…

It is time to rethink dubious international obligations and to argue Australia’s case. Australia should require asylum-seekers wanting to settle in this country to apply for a refugee or humanitarian visa offshore, through our overseas posts or the UNHCR.

... and from my email inbox

The arrival of the latest boat means that over 40,000 people have now arrived by boat under Labor’s failed border protection regime.

That’s more than the population of Kalgoorlie-Boulder (30,900), Wodonga (31,600), Gladstone (32,100), Queanbeyan (35,900) and Tamworth (36,200).

So far this financial year, over 20,000 people have arrived on 320 boats. This compares with just 25 people on three boats in the final year that the Howard Government’s policies were in place.

Labor’s failure to protect our borders worsens by the day – and alongside its failure to control the Budget, is this Government’s greatest policy failure.

It is a failure that has cost lives, damaged our country’s reputation, cost over $6.6 billion in Budget blowouts and resulted in tens of thousands of people dumped into the community.

The people smugglers know this is a weak government that doesn’t have its heart in defending our borders.

With the failures on our borders worsening every day, Australia cannot afford another three years of Labor

The Coalition offers a clear choice when it comes to implementing policies that will secure our borders. We will:

re-introduce Temporary Protection Visas to deny the people smugglers a product to sell,

have rigorous offshore processing, and

give new orders to the Navy to turn back boats where it is safe to do so.


We will restore the proven policies of the last Coalition Government that actually stopped the boats.

Okay, I will take the bait.

I am thinking the reason you don't incite intelligent debate prolly has more to do with the fact you are so qool peeps agree with you totes... or it could be when it comes to your cut and pasted propaganda and endless Labor rants, those of us who have a little more common sense tend to accept the things we can not change, find the courage to change the things we can, and thankfully, have developed the wisdom to know the difference.

Why beat a dead donkey? I mean aside from the fact it is boring, it is really really pointless.
