NSW ALP corruption?

Keneally aide may lose spot to Whan Mr Secord is maintaining that he will take the vacancy soon to be created by the powerbroker Eddie Obeid but several senior sources have confirmed there is a push for Mr Whan, who was a surprise Labor casualty, to replace Mr Obeid. Now as Hatzistergos goes but
Mr Hatzistergos has denied resigning to give former emergency services minister Steve Whan a political lifeline after he lost his Lower House seat of Monaro. NSW ALP made much of ICAC Report On Investigation Into The Metherell Resignation And Appointment. As did GreenLeft it seems. If Whan and Secord get appointed MLCs will the Left/media be as disturbed by this as with Metherell? Probably they will ignore it.

They call the PM Ju-liar

They call the PM Ju-liar
Away out here they got a name
For rain and PM and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe,
And they call the PM Ju-liar
Ju-liar blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a flyin
Ju-liar makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there in the cold and dying
Ju-liar
Ju-liar
They call the PM Ju-liar
Before I knew Ju-liar's name
And heard her wail and whinin
I had a life and the life had me
And the sun was always shinin
But then one day I lost my way
I left my old life far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gone and lost
Not even God can find me
Ju-liar
Ju-liar
They call the PM Ju-liar

McDade's Law and digger's law Bren gun

Soldiers to face July court martial over Afghan deaths.

Following on from: The director of military prosecutions, Brigadier Lyn McDade "I have decided to charge three former members of the Special Operations Task Group with service offences arising out of a compound clearance operation conducted on 12 February 2009 in Afghanistan."

Earlier we had: 178 THE BATTLE OF BARDIA 3 Jan

Post 22 was then taken (a command post manned by twenty to thirty troops). Lieutenant Webb, the third platoon commander, was wounded there, leaving only two officers - Green and his second-in-command, a slender, fair lieutenant named Macfarlane). As these two stood watching some of the prisoners being rounded up an Italian bobbed up from one of the pits, put a rifle to his shoulder and shot Green through the chest. He then dropped his rifle, put up his hands and climbed out of the post, smiling broadly. An angry Australian threw him back into the post and emptied his Bren gun into him. At the same time others demanded of Macfarlane that they should be allowed to bayonet all the other prisoners, but Macfarlane - now the only officer in the company - forbade them to take revenge, and was obeyed.

'"Former NSW Labor premier Bob Carr cautioned against apocalyptic conclusions about the future of the Labor Party, but conceded that it could signal the party would be forced into future alliances with the Greens in order to govern again.

"If the Greens gain Lower House seats, obviously the chances are greater that Labor will govern in agreement with them some time in the future," Mr Carr said.

"It's not the end of the Labor Party."'

"China paper blasts Middle East protest movements



BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese Communist Party-run newspaper on Saturday attacked anti-government protest movements in the Middle East and dismissed the possibility of something similar happening in China.

Such movements have brought nothing but chaos and misery to their countries' citizens and are engineered by a small number of people using the Internet to organize illegal meetings, the Beijing Daily, published by the city's party committee, said in a front-page editorial.

"The vast majority of the people are strongly dissatisfied (with the protests), so the performance by the minority becomes a self-delusional ruckus," the newspaper said.

The editorial appeared amid anonymous calls posted on the Internet for Middle East-inspired protests in dozens of Chinese cities the past two Sunday afternoons.

While drawing few outright demonstrators, the appeals have deeply unnerved authorities constantly on guard for any sign of challenges to Communist rule. Police and security agents shooed away onlookers and assaulted and detained journalists who turned up at the designated protest sites in Beijing and Shanghai.

Foreign reporters have been repeatedly warned to stay away from the sites this weekend and threatened with unspecified consequences if they disobey.

China's censors have carefully shaped local coverage of the protests in the Middle East to discourage Chinese citizens from drawing inspiration from them. State media emphasize the protests' negative effects on the societies and economies of the countries involved and give prominent coverage to the woes of Chinese workers evacuated from Libya and elsewhere.

In its editorial, the Beijing Daily attempted to draw a sharp distinction between China and the Middle Eastern countries roiled by unrest, where disdain for long-serving autocratic rulers has frequently been fueled by high unemployment and economic woes.

Chinese people, it said, support their nation's political stability, economic development, and favorable government policies. Those looking to create or discover news of Middle East-style protests in China will come up empty, it said.

"However, we must clearly recognize that there are always people inside and outside the country with ulterior motives who want to seize on the problems we have encountered over the course of development in order to incite unrest," the newspaper said."
