Shorten wastes question time with lies about military arrangements and submarines. A partisan press is inflating leaked information from cabinet with opportunist assertions from the opposition to destabilise the government and weaken the NSW Government's case for re election. Both NSW and Australia's governments are producing effective and responsible measures for both the state and the federation. The opposition is embarrassingly bad, but the press refuse to notice. In the case of the ABC their partisan stance is illegal.
Sports Cocaine ring? Or recreational abuse? The liars who promoted the ASADA inquiry into sport would like it that sports people were part of a wide spread ring. The reality is it is probably a personal choice thing involving too much money for young athletes with no direction in their lives beyond winning games on grass.
Cambodian deal to facilitate transfer of refugees from Nauru to Cambodia. The international Organisation for Migration has agreed to administrate the transfers. The deal will give the potential of refugees being settled in Cambodia and giving them citizenship. HRCS was wrong to say last week that it was a bad deal that would not be finalised, as it has been.
On this day in 303, Diocletian began a persecution of Christians with orders for the destruction of the Christian church in Nicomedia. Diocletian's tomb was later turned into what it is today, a Christian Church. In 532, Justinian I ordered the construction of the Hagia Sophia which would become the largest cathedral in the world for a thousand years, changing the way architecture developed. It was then converted into a Mosque before becoming a museum in the 1930's. It is the third most visited museum in Turkey today, with 3.3 million visitors annually. In 1455, as noted last year, the Gutenberg Bible was printed with movable type. Ten years ago, it was a primary school art task to make Lino Prints with linoleum blocks. Today OHS rules prevent it. In 1739, a former school teacher of Richard Palmer identified him at York Castle as being Dick Turpin, the outlaw. He was executed on April 7th. A hundred years later, the writer William Harrison Ainsworth romanticised his exploits. In 1820, a communist style uprising, predating the manifesto, was prevented by London Police arresting the Cato Street Conspirators. The conspiracy was to murder the government ministry and create a committee of public safety as the French Revolutionaries had thirty years earlier. It failed partly because the second in command was a police informer. Of thirteen arrested, five were executed and five were sent to Australia. In 1836, the ill fated Alamo defence began. In 1847, future Texas President Taylor defeated Mexico's Santa Anna. In 1861, President Elect Lincoln made it to Washington DC after narrowly avoiding an assassination attempt.
Freedom is essential for progress. The IPA (Institute for Public Affairs) is a defender of the freedom of speech in Australia. Section 18c of the racism code is inappropriate and not commensurate with free speech. The ALP does not want free speech, and government attempts to legislate for it have failed. However, security in the war against jihadist terrorists is essential. Surely the ALP would support legislation which will improve safety for Australians even if it is opposed by the IPA? Press freedom is something which came into sharp relief when, in 1898, Emilie Zola, a celebrated writer, was arrested for writing a defence of a Jewish man, Alfred Dreyfus, who was abused by government bigots in France. But Australia's press are so partisan, and incapable of even defending free speech which supports them, that the issue is lost when it doesn't support the ALP.
2014
The Ukrainian President had worked closely with Russia, which makes sense, as their opponents, celebrated media endorsed leftists willing to use violence to achieve their ends, have been antagonistic to Russia. Ordinary Ukrainians suffer from left wing's bad decision making. People are dead, The scene has not played out completely. The only certainty is that the left has not been responsible. Now look at the bye election result against the LNP in Redcliffe. The media endorsed an ALP line and the ALP won. It illustrates the impressiveness of the Griffith swing to Liberals. But the cheerleaders for the ALP won't analyse that factoid. Maybe Manus will be closed as it is no longer needed?
I love books. Today is the anniversary of the publication of the first Gutenberg Bible. Anyone who does not read books is restricted to living only one life. Humble in aspect, the vellum copies were made with loving care. They predate the knowledge revolution, because they began it. It is possible to collect all the written work around the world made before this book on a single CD. As of 1972, there were a thousand non fiction books printed in the US every day. I had a library I valued at $50k. I intended to give it to the next generation, but I had to give it away to several different charities. None wanted it. Time marches on. Now, I have a Kindle ..

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
