people who have been on my posts for some time will know and, hopefully, understand that i have great trouble in accepting the words, ideas and theories put out by gary johns who was once a very mediocre minister in the keating government from 1993 to 1996 when john howard swept into power.
83 people have been beheaded in Saudi Arabia in 2014, the highest number in five years.
Most were executed for non violent offences including drug smuggling.
Amnesty International says Saudi Arabia has one of the highest execution rates in the world.
There were 79 executions in 2013 and 2012, and 82 in 2011.
The countries that carried out the most executions on record last year were Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the U.S.
China is thought to kill thousands but the figure is a state secret.

Ethical human rights, development and globalization will not only turn the country around but take it forward.
On 4 November 2014 when the Republicans won a majority in the US Senate Mitch McConnell, the presumptive Senate Majority Leader said that America needed to be ‘turned-around’.
By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ It is not often I am brought to tears but this morning I was bereft as I left behind a beautiful family of five who have been homeless for 9 months. They have been living in a single tent in bush on the northern outskirts of Perth. Four beautiful girls are homeless but in their loving mother’s vigilant care. Their bastion of hope, all their hope, rests in the dignity of remaining united.
A group of young entrepreneurs from Melbourne are behind the exciting
new project called Crêpes for Change. "We are creating a social
enterprise in the form of a crêpe van, with 100% of the profits to go
toward eliminating youth homelessness in Australia" says Dan Poole,
founder of the initiative.

President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo insists the state willl push through with the execution of 64 inmates on death row, most of them convicted of drug offenses.
DRUG TRAFFICKING - "AN EXTRAORDINARY CRIME" ???
According to President Jokowi and Vice President Jusuf Kalla, drug trafficking leads to thousands of fatalities every year. It is therefore an “extraordinary crime” for which the only appropriate penalty is death by firing squad.

Julie Bishop and Tony Abbott have slashed aid spending to the poorest people in the world again.
This time they’ve cut $4 billion over the next four years.
This means Australia will now drop from being the 13th most generous nation to the 20th.
The total cut to aid this year is almost $11 billion. That’s almost one third of all budget cuts.
Abbott has now cut overseas aid to its lowest level since 1958.
What a disgrace.
