SMH-2001-04-16 reports that the Russian space port planned for Christmas Island is in jeopardy since Australia announced plans to build a permanent detention center on the island. Apparently the Russians are concerned about their security implications of being close to a the detention center. Clearly, releasing the Asylum Seekers into the Australian community is the preferred safer option for the Russians. They would feel safer if they were separated from the Asylum seekers by 1000 miles of ocean. Funny thing is - most Australians feel the same way! » Don't be Caught Dead With Infidels   2002-04-16 00:00 Strawman You can choose your friends, but.. Multiculturalism is not yet a dead issue. Not content to battle over turf in the Middle East, local Muslims say they are being pushed out of the Sydney Rookwood cemetary by Jews and Christians. SMH-2001-04-16 reports that the Muslim section of the cemetary is nearly full, and no advance bookings are being accepted. The Jewish section on the other hand has 15 years capacity, and neither side is volunteering to mix the graves together. The secretary of the Muslim Cemetery Trust, Wasim Raza, is quoted as saying "The point is that like many peoples of faith, Muslims would like to be buried in a dedicated area, not all over the place amongst people of different faiths." Apparently the muslim community's commitment to multiculturalism doesn't extend to being buried alongside the infidels, and cremation is specifically banned by the Koran. Maybe Allah makes an exception if you are flying a 767, or wearing a TNT suit in an Israeli cafe. » This Rose Still Smells Sweet   2002-04-16 00:00 Strawman She didn't do it! The second inquest into the death of Lang (where-can-I-dip-this) Hancock went from bad to sordid as the former maid testified that wife Rose ordered her to cook fatty, and generally unhealthy foods. Lang's daughter suggests that it was a plot to hasten his death. What a crock! My wife cooks fatty and unhealthy food for me all the time. It's to make be fat and unattractive to other women. She also 'forgets' to remind me to change my socks for the same reason. A Rose by any other name .. Get real guys. Giving someone fatty and unhealthy foods can't be a crime. If it were, then Ronald McDonald would be in prison, and the Hamburgler would be a national hero. » Brogden Darts Into the Fray   2002-04-06 00:00 Strawman A Bit Wet .. The sun rose after the night of the long knives in NSW Liberal Party Headquarters. The blood was mopped up we saw happy faces all around. A politician no-one had ever heard of replaced a politician no-one wanted to know. John (who?) Brodgen ousted Kerry (Chikkababe) Chickarovski by just a one vote majority. The liberals were obviously fed up with Chicka, and wanted a change. 'It wasn't so much that they'd had too much of her' said her colleagues 'They just knew they didn't want to. At least with Brogden we might pick up some of the donkey vote. With Chikka we have no chance.' Only problem is, Brogden's policies are left of the labor party. He's certainly left of Bob (Seriousy) Carr on Drug policy 'lets experiment with reforms' Crime 'we need a social emphasis on prevention' Euthanasia 'each of us can determine at which point we can end our lives' He's going to be competing for votes with the Australian Democrats. Natasha was furious, and instantly denied challenges to her leadership. Natasha, Natasha, no-one even asked! » Fortress Australia Beseiged   2002-04-02 00:00 Strawman Still open for business Some 1000 demonstrators besieged the Fortress Australia policy on the Easter Weekend. Of course the siege of the Woomera detention center wasn't enough entertainment for some of the protestors, who had saved their dole money for a couple of weeks to pay for the trip, and wanted to do more than eat their melted Easter-eggs and chant a few tired hippy slogans. The guards were trained to stop people getting out of the detention center, and it never occurred to them that someone would try to break in. They were ill equipped to cope with hundreds of protestors pulling down the outside fence, and then marching to the inner perimeter. 'You'll have to pay for that' they shouted angrily as the protestors pulled out the bars with metal levers. The apparent prisoner-exchange program went wrong when the protestors saw the conditions inside, and ran away as fast as the now freed inmates. Meanwhile Phil (I-belong-to-Amnesty) Ruddock urged the police to staunchly defend the white-knuckled Australia policy, but the police seemed loathe to do that in front of the cameras. He assured the public that Woomera would be closed soon anyway. 'As soon as we deport them, they'll be gone - so what's all the fuss?' Johnny (nobody-tells-me-anything) Howard was not answering his calls, but was believed to be lobbying George WWW.Bush to hurry up and take out Saddam (where's-my-nukes) Hussein so all the Iraqi protection visa holders could be sent home. All that violence over Easter! It would be enough to make Jesus Christ roll over in his grave. Then he might get up and say hello to the doubting Thomases before quietly going home to meet Daddy. Maybe he'd like to convert a few of the inmates to Christianity on the way? But the inmates? Their lips were sealed! » Porn on Palestine TV   2002-04-02 00:00 Strawman Get that underwear off my screen! Agence France-Presse reports that Israeli Troops who took control of several Palestine TV stations have been broadcasting pornography. The Israeli military said it had nothing to do with the programming. This is a funny kind of warfare. Show the enemy people enjoying themselves in order to undermine their morale. A local muslim mother is quoted as saying 'Luckily, there is no electricity in half of Ramallah'. Apparently these people would prefer to suffer without electricity rather than have their children view some dirty pictures. What a cost effective way to conquer the Palestine. Just broadcast dirty movies, and force the whole population to back to stone age to avoid seeing it. Maybe that's why some asylum seekers threw their children overboard before arriving in Australia. They thought drowning was better that a slow corruption by the evil forces of a decadent Western media. » The Joke's on the Gypsies   2002-04-01 00:00 Strawman The Bombed Car It seems that the long arm of the law might have the last laugh on the Gypsy Jokers motorcyle gang. The motorcycle gang, once feared by rival gangs and civilians alike, must now be the standing joke of the underworld. The so called code of silence which allows criminal gangs to operate and stay out of the reach on the law was broken when one of their associates, Sidney John Reid, squealed like a stuck pig under police interrogation. The bikie gang will not be taken seriously by anyone in the underworld anymore. What self respecting criminal would partner with them for an 'undocumented' business venture after this? Of course bikie gangs' appetite for revenge would be the envy of most of the Middle East, so young Sidney is practicing sleeping with one eye open. He'll need to - for the rest of his life. However long that is. » Sea Levels Rising Faster Than Median IQ   2002-03-31 00:00 Strawman A Titanic Problem Residences of PNG's Carteret Islands are worried about their Islands being washed away. Rising salt levels mean that they are unable to grow vegetables anymore. Islanders insist that the sea levels are rising, and green groups agree. Apparently global warming can make sea levels rise in third world countries while having no change around first world countries. 'Water is funny stuff', said a source from the green movement 'if you tilt the bath-tub, it can run uphill'. Others said he was full of it, but they weren't referring to the water. A more likely explanation for the islander's plight can be found in their fishing practices. Dynamiting their reefs may be a cheap way to catch fish, but it isn't very environmentally friendly, and breaks up the coral reefs which stop their islands from being washed away. 'It didn't say that on the packet' protested one islander. 'Now they have to pay'. He wasn't sure who 'they' were, but knew that they must have lots of money. » Commonsense Overboard   2002-03-30 00:00 Strawman Where's the boat, mummy? Did someone say "Commonsense Overboard"? The left have been screaming for some time about the government's apparent misreporting of asylum seekers throwing children overboard on October-7 2001. Apparently it wasn't true! The truth is that the asylum seekers held a child overboard, threatened to throw it overboard, and later sabotaged and then sank their own vessel. On balance which of the two is the more irresponsible act? Throwing a child overboard or sinking the entire vessel? It's not a trick question. The interesting fact lost in the frantic 'search for the truth' is that 18 days later a child was in fact thrown from such a vessel. The details are here. While conspiracy theories are normally the province of the intellectually bewildered, one has to ask what is happening here. A government department releases details on an event very beneficial to the government 4 weeks before an election. Then 3 days before the election releases a retraction 'oh, sorry, it was wrong. You will have to go and tell everyone that you lied. Too bad about the election the day after tomorrow eh?'. One has to seriously question the mindset which does this. Then to add injury to stupidity, the same department does not release information which proves the original event (albeit 18 days later). In this case the expression 'heads will roll' should apply to the heads of the departments. » Israelis Double Parked   2002-03-02 00:00 Strawman 40 Tanks, APC's and those big armoured bulldozers parked in Yasser (yoda) Arafat's backyard in the West Bank on Good Friday. 'We just dropped in for a neighbourly visit over Easter' said the operational commander 'we're really sorry about the crashing through the fence on the way in. These tanks are hard to control, and I guess the boys had trouble finding the gate.' Later the Israeli Defence Minister, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, promised to replace the fountain with the naked woman that they had run over, but was adamant that the broken garden gnome was not his responsibility. 'Israel is sick of being pushed around like this' he said 'We didn't break it, and we're not paying. If Arafat wants to go to war over this - so be it.' The situation got out of control when Palestinian officials pointed out that demerit points for bad driving were doubled over the Easter break. This was too much for the Jews, who then declared outright war on Palestine. >> Please Sir, I want some more  Feedback/Forum ANON -- Anonymous Coward 2011-12-02
