POLICE soon will have the power to “squash” bikie gangs and force them to move elsewhere after the Government’s controversial anti-bikie legislation passed through Parliament last night.
Police Minister Paul Holloway said SA was on the verge of having the nation’s and perhaps the world’s toughest anti-bikie laws.

“These are the laws that police have asked for and, finally, we are able to ensure police have exactly what they need to take on these criminal bikie gangs,” he said.

When the laws are gazetted, …

Danish embassy staff removed after ‘imminent’ threat

Copenhagen | April 24, 2008

DENMARK has moved staff from its embassies in Algeria and Afghanistan to secret safe locations because of an imminent threat, Foreign Ministry officials say.

The threats were “so concrete” action had to be taken, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Erik Laursen.

They are believed to be related to the republication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb in his turban. It was one of 12 drawings of the Prophet that sparked riots in the Muslim world in 2006 after originally being printed in a Danish newspaper in 2005.

Embassy employees in Algiers were …

Feminism & Multiculturalism = Twin Evils of Marxist Social Engineering for Social Revolution

“Women’s power is difficult to see and measure. But we better get a grip on it. As long as women can pretend they don’t have any power, we can’t call them on how they use – and misuse – it. And they get to keep what they have all to themselves.”
If Men Have All The POWER – How Come Women Make The RULES?

It’s just typical of society that the author of the above quote/book (although I do thoroughly recommend it as an excellent read) not only fails to realise the correlation between sexism and racism, but also denies …

Jewish Groups Applaud Annihilation of Freedom of Speech

ADL Downunder: ADC applauds proposed web blackout for hate groups

Peter Kohn: Australian Jewish News | April 14, 2008

CIVIL liberties arguments do not apply when extremist organisations use the internet to spread hatred, B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) chair John Searle said last week.

“Clearly a line has to be drawn between freedom of speech, voicing of differing opinions – and material that just incites racial hatred, religious intolerance and violence. When that line is crossed, that material ought not to be freely available to all who log onto the web.”

Searle was responding to protests voiced by …

RACE-HATE websites could be banned under an internet censorship proposal being considered by state and federal attorneys-general.

The plan, which is in its early stages, has aroused concern among civil libertarians who fear it could be used to stifle political debate.

The attorneys-general, meeting in Adelaide last week, commissioned a report on the viability of authorising the Australian Communications and Media Authority to combat race-hate sites by ordering internet service providers to take them down.

At present, ACMA polices websites that breach copyright, promote terrorism or publish extreme …

Call to switch onus on racist offences

Carol Nader: The Age | April 5, 2008

http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/call-to-switch-onus-on-racist-offences/2008/04/04/1207249461190.html

A STUDY of racial discrimination laws in several Western countries has prompted a call for the Government to toughen Australia’s 33-year-old laws.

Race Discrimination Commissioner Tom Calma wants the burden of proof in cases of racial discrimination to fall on the alleged offender, instead of the person making the complaint.

Mr Calma said Australia’s laws made it difficult to prove there had been discrimination.

A Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission analysis of other countries, including the US, Britain and Canada, shows that in those countries the onus of proof shifts …

Jews Demand Special Protection – And Get it

Jewish groups want hate crimes squad

Richard Kerbaj: The Australian | March 11, 2008

VICTORIAN police are resisting calls by powerful Melbourne Jewish figures to set up a hate crimes squad to tackle the growing number of anti-Semitic attacks.

Police opposed to the idea have accused Jewish groups such as the Anti-Defamation Commission – which keeps tabs on anti-Semitic violence – of exaggerating the number of attacks to justify greater taxpayer-funded security measures.

It is believed Victoria Police Commissioner Christine Nixon was approached by Jewish leaders to set up the unit, which would play a similar role to a …

GANGS of Middle Eastern youths have threatened to bash staff in popular city and suburban nightclubs.

Adelaide hoteliers say the notorious “Middle East Boys” – or MEB – have said they’d find staff members’ homes to exact a violent revenge after being refused entry to bars and pubs.One hotelier, who declined to be identified for fear of retribution, said gangs were barred from most Adelaide pubs but members occasionally slipped into late-night clubs undetected. He says gangs are infiltrating bars and clubs to sell drugs to young patrons.

“We …
