Nothing can excuse Australia, a white supremacist settler society fantasy-land just like the fake state of Israel, which did NOT have the decency to vote FOR the rights of PALESTINIANS, uhh... that is the way of a fading Anglo colony living in the past and hanging onto the USA's coat-tails....

When is Amnesty International going to get off its arse and campaign for the rights of mental health prisoners in WA?
-by Graham Milner
There is a dirty campaign being waged to smear the name of the Prime Minister. The claims go back as far as twenty years and seek to discredit Gillard's days as a lawyer before she entered parliament. Not a single substantive claim has been made against her. But the Murdoch press and the right wing political mud slingers are intent on throwing as much muck as they can in the lead up to the next federal election.
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”
-Frank Herbert, Dune
Judge Stephen Scott during sentencing of an Iranian-Australian (to 14 years) for his role in assisting Asylum Seekers to our shores (others mistakenly ill-define this as 'people-smuggling') said that there were greater risks for Asylum Seekers fleeing by boat than there are in if they remained in the country they were fleeing from.
The sentenced man was jailed for his part in several voyages in assisting people to Asylum, one which tragically ended in the 2010 Christmas Island disaster where thereabouts 50 people drowned.

Hobart, Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
ARE YOU REMORSEFUL?
Based on Internet articles prepared by the ABC, The Mercury, and other Australian news disseminators, you have just been released from prison.
So international readers of this letter will have some information about your despicable barristerial behaviour which put you behind bars, this is what David Killick of The Mercury, 28 September 2012, wrote about you:
Airline unions are set to join the Philippine Airlines Employees Association (PALEA) in a “Global Day of Action against Outsourcing” spanning four continents on Thursday. The September 27 action coincides with the anniversary of PALEA’s protest last year that led to the cancellation of all flights of Philippine Airlines and marked the start of a bitter fight over contractualization at the flag carrier.
