“FREEDOM of speech only goes so far and it does not stretch to racism,” Attorney-General Robert McClelland says.

“It may well be appropriate to set some limitation to public expression of hateful material,” Mr McClelland said.

He said cyber-racism was a growing area of concern for the Human Rights Commission. Eighteen per cent of racism complaints handed to the Commission in 2008-09 were about racist internet material, up from nine per cent in the previous year. [more …]

TRADITIONS based on heritage, sporting culture and common language are threatened by mass immigration, leading demographer Dr Bob Birrell has warned.

“This is not a pretty picture,” he said. “Social divisions are becoming more obvious and geographically concentrated and certain areas are being overlain by an ethnic identification.”

Meanwhile: PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has admitted he does not have any …

Australian internet filter to be compulsory

Jennifer Dudley-Nicholson: The Courier Mail | October 29, 2008

THE Federal Government plans to make internet censorship compulsory, putting Australia in the same league as China, Iran and North Korea.

The Government will not let users opt out of the proposed national internet filter, which could ban controversial websites on such subject as euthanasia or anorexia, when it is introduced.

Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy Minister Stephen Conroy admitted the Federal 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 “…

KRudd Nearly Halves Australian Dollar in Record Time

It might have a lot to do with global financial events, but the value of the Australian dollar has dropped from US98c several months ago to US64c http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?from=AUD&to=USD&amt=1&t=2y, and it’s all in line with my own predictions if Labor was to win the last election. And it did.

Now, I didn’t and don’t like Prime Ministers Howard or KRudd (Kevin Rudd) – Liberal or Labor. Nor did I vote for either of them. I believe that neither is good for this country, but Labor’s policies make them the worst of the pair.

Policies:
– Labor’s policy is to drop …

A Message from the Federal Treasurer

A SUMMARY OF THE RECENT BUDGET

The Australian federal government is sending each and every one of you a $900 rebate.

If you spend that money at K-Mart, the money will go to China.

If you spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs.

If we purchase a computer it will go to Taiwan.

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

If you purchase a good car it will go to Japan or Germany.

If you purchase useless crap it will go to China or Korea.

None of this will help …

Australia’s Internet Censorship – Thanks a Bloody Lot Chairman Krudd

Internet ‘clean feed’ useless – group

News.com.au | May 15, 2008

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23703848-421,00.html

THE Australian public is being urged to reject the Federal Government’s plan to censor the internet.

Online advocacy group Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) says the Government’s decision to fund its mandatory “clean feed” internet in the 2008-09 Federal Budget is a waste of taxpayers money.

“At a time when the Government is cutting services to fight inflation, it’s bewildering that they would decide to spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on a filter before feasibility trials are even complete,” EFA spokesman Colin Jacobs said.

“Given the manifest …

‘Sorry’ Excuse for Aboriginal Violence

‘Sorry’ excuse for mob violence

Phoebe Stewart: NT News | February 20th, 2008

http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2008/02/20/3404_ntnews.html

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd’s national apology to the stolen generation (Australia’s indigenous children raised by the state) has sparked a spate of racial violence in Darwin.

Five people had to be admitted to hospital after one brawl. The Caucasian men were attacked by a group of 10 Aboriginal men, who demanded that their victims “say sorry”.

A 28-year-old Territory woman watched helplessly as her friend was king-hit and kicked to the ground outside a Darwin 24-hour eatery on Sunday morning. She said three men ran at …
