THESE shocking photos show the moment customs officers found a young child stuffed into a suitcase after noticing his mother acting suspiciously.
An outline of the child was clearly made out and officers immediately opened the case and pulled the youngster out.

Officers who caught the woman attempting to cross the Spanish/Moroccan border said the boy could have easily suffocated.

"This could have had a tragic end," a spokesman for the Civil Guard said.

It's believed the boy stuck is head out of the suitcase and said "Hello, my name is Abou."Yeah! looks like an ABBO*

Police are investigating the incident and its thought the boy's father has already been arrested.

[He said neither political party recognised the true extent of crime and anti-social behaviour in Alice Springs and police were "restrained" by management from doing an "acceptable" job.]

ALICE SPRINGS police are monitoring a self-described paramilitary group which claims it wants to see crime and anti-social behaviour in the town reduced to an "acceptable level". 
 
Gary Hall, a spokesman for the Alice Springs Volunteer Force, said members were armed, but he refused to go into any detail about their weapons.

"I'm only the spokesman for them and I'm sure that giving away their technical capabilities wouldn't be something they'd like to see published.

"But I can confirm they are armed," Mr Hall said.

He also declined to discuss the group's membership, other than to say it had sufficient numbers to carry out its objectives. "We don't have a force of 500 men but it's not three blokes sitting in a coffee shop smoking cigars," he said.

"The objective of the Alice Springs Volunteer Force is to bring into the line the anti-social behaviour and the criminality into what we would deem an acceptable level."

He said neither political party recognised the true extent of crime and anti-social behaviour in Alice Springs and police were "restrained" by management from doing an "acceptable" job.

Mr Hall said he had been in a paramilitary organisation in Northern Ireland but again, he refused to go into detail.



This recruitment statement was posted to Alice Springs Community Group on Facebook
"It's very difficult for a man to come from where I come from and not be involved in paramilitary activity."

Police yesterday confirmed they were monitoring the AVF and anyone who associated with them.

A Facebook statement said police were aware of online activity by people wanting to form a group to deal with crime and anti-social behaviour in Alice Springs.

"Police are aware of these posts and will continue to monitor the activity of those who choose to associate with the author and we reaffirm that law enforcement and crime prevention is best left to law enforcement professionals," the statement said.

The group's online activities have attracted widespread attention in Alice Springs.

Many of the posts supporting the AVF have been violently anti-Aboriginal.

One online comment read: "A good idea would be to declare an open season on them ... naturally with a bag limit, possibly a bounty on matching pairs."

Mr Hall said he opposed racism and the AVF was targeting law breakers.

"Any group that I'm involved with will have absolutely nothing to do with the colour of a man's skin," he said.

"Alice Springs is divided into two groups of people; good people and bad people, and we're interested in the latter. If you're a law-abiding citizen then you have no concern from the Alice Springs Volunteer Force."


Normal people in Alice springs have had enough of these bloody boongs. The cops are told not to be heavy handed with them... so look out coons! Former Paramilitary guys are after you! About time somebody did something!

A SIXTEEN-year-old boy has been arrested after leading police on a chase through the northern suburbs of Darwin in a stolen car. 
 
The 16-year-old was found hiding on a veranda in Malak after the chase, which lasted about 10 minutes at 5am.

The youth had stolen the car earlier in the night and attempted to evade Police, but was arrested after he abandoned the car and tried to hide on the veranda.

It was the second chase police had been involved in for the night.

Three people were also arrested for a similar crime through the city about 2am.

I don't know what the big deal is. It is public Knowledge Mr Abbott is a Church going man. Why would he want to meet the Homosexual partner for?This guy has stymied same sex marriage legislation in the ACT, wouldn't be in his best interest to be hanging out with a fag couple.

IT'S the latest scandal to see the Prime Minister's name trending for all the wrong reasons and the opposition has demanded an apology. But what really happened on the tarmac in Paris? 
 
Tony Abbott has become embroiled in an ugly diplomatic incident that's seen his office accused of being homophobic after an Australian Ambassador's same-sex partner was told to "wait in the car" rather than greet the Prime Minister on his arrival to Paris.

Following Anzac Day centenary commemorations in Gallipoli, Mr Abbott flew to a private airport in Paris where he was to be greeted by Stephen Brady, the Ambassador to France.

Mr Brady's partner of 34 years, Peter Stephens, was reportedly told he wouldn't be part of the welcoming party on the tarmac by a protocol officer, much to the upset of the Ambassador who refused the request and had Mr Stephens accompany him as the RAAF plane arrived.

The "bizarre" incident caused so much offence to the career diplomat he was said to be "literally screaming" at the protocol officer who delivered the request, according to Fairfax, and he later offered his resignation over the incident.

It's unclear whether an official resignation was tendered to either Mr Abbott or Foreign Minister Tony Abbott, the Herald Sun reports.

Though it's been pointed out that protocol dictates a diplomat's partner will only greet the Prime Minister when his or her partner is present, which Mrs Abbott was not, the incident has seen Mr Abbott slammed and sparked widespread outrage over the government's views on same-sex relationships.

Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten called for an explanation from Mr Abbott the incident and said the couple "deserved an apology" if the story was true.

"I sincerely hope this isn't true," he said.
