George Papadopoulos Tweet Bun - Part 1

>>7356826 Alexander Downer Tweet - Of course I didn’t [Spy on the Trump campaign]. It’s complete rubbish. I’m not Left wing

>>7356826 George Papadopoulos' response - Yeah whatever you say, buddy. We got the tapes

>>7357156 I always win, @AlexanderDowner. Always

>>7357156 Alexander Downer is breaking. He knows he’s next

>>7357156 US President Donald Trump demands Australia’s role in “Russia hoax” be examined

>>7357156 It was the five eye’s greatest counter intelligence failure in history

>>7357156 The truth about why the UK and Australia was involved in my case is going to be revealed

>>7357169 Being spied on by the FBI/CIA, UK, Australia and Italy is no joke

>>7357169 Mifsud was the first I exposed. Alexander Downer is next

>>7357169 I played Alexander Downer for a fool. He will be remembered as the Clinton errand boy

 

>>7357169 Out of all the spies who came after me. Alexander Downer and Stefan Halper were the two biggest idiots I made within minutes

>>7357169 The UK, Australia, Turkey and Italy were involved in spying operation against me

>>7357174 Haven’t I exposed the UK, Brennan CIA, Turkey, Italy and Australia enough for their spy plot against me and Trump?

>>7357174 It’s imperative that the President confronts Australia about their spying on the 2016 campaign

>>7357174 Alexander Downer and Stefan Halper were both recording my conversations about my energy business work in Cyprus

>>7357174 John Brennan doesn’t understand that foreign assets he weopanized against us (Mifsud, Downer, Turk, Halper and more) are being exposed

>>7357174 That’s what happens when I exposed Mifsud’s connections to Italian intelligence and Downer’s bizarre recording of my conversation

>>7357175 Bye bye Downer

>>7357175 Downer was a fool. I played him the entire meeting that I knew was designed to spy on my energy related work

>>7357175 I have been right about Downer from the beginning. A wannabe spy and Clinton errand boy who is about to get exposed on the world stage

 

>>7357175 First, I testified against both Downer and Mifsud a year ago to help launch Durham’s investigation

>>7357175 Will be speaking directly to Australia. Very soon.

>>7357184 If the President and the department of Justice want the transcript of my meeting with Downer, they will get it

>>7357184 You need to follow the energy game I was involved in and advising on. Downer, Mifsud, Halper (paid me for an energy report)

>>7357184 From August (For anyone who thinks that the president is going to let Australia and the U.K. off the hook…)

>>7357184 Doesn’t stop at UK/Australia/Italy.

>>7357184 We will soon find out who directed Alexander Downer to spy on me. The Australians don’t freelance without our rubber-stamp

>>7357509 Am perplexed why the Australian ambassador to the US would publicly lie to Senator Graham and the American people about Downer

>>7357509 The Australians are trying to obstruct the investigation. They must answer why Downer claims that the “Israelis” directed him

>>7357509 The President is absolutely correct about this! (US president believes Australia was “part of a conspiracy”)

 

>>7357509 Looks like Mifsud was in on it with Aust. Bad news for Australia!

>>7357509 Jim Comey and Joseph Mifsud were meeting the same Australian intel officials days before I was introduced to Joseph Mifsud

>>7357513 Comey and Mifsud were meeting the same officials in Australia just days before I was guided to meet Mifsud in Rome

>>7357513 I always found it bizarre that Downer was speaking to me about his ties to an obscure intel group named “Hakluyt.”

>>7357513 I knew that my suspicions about U.K. and Australian intel spying on us in 2016 would be confirmed

>>7357513 Downer was in on it with Mifsud. Halper was there to cover for Downer. The three stooges are all being exposed

>>7357513 I lived this spy story. The government’s of the UK, Australia, Italy sent their agents: Mifsud, Downer, Halper, Azra Turk and many more

>>7357519 At the end of this, the person I am most happy I exposed was Alexander Downer and the Australians

>>7357519 Clapper has gone awfully silent since his month long adventure in Australia

>>7357519 Alexander Downer will forever be remembered as the Clinton errand boy

#6 - Part 8

George Papadopoulos Tweet Bun - Part 2

>>7357519 When I said Mifsud and Downer were in on it together and Halper was there to provide cover, I was serious

>>7357519 Keep the microscope on Clapper’s numerous trips to Australia over the past year to cover both Australia’s and his tracks

>>7357522 Could not believe my eyes when I saw Alexander Downer begin to repeatedly ask me questions and record me with his phone

>>7357522 Australia, Ukraine, Italy and U.K. interfered in our election. Keep the heat on them. Impeachment nonsense is a red herring

>>7357522 Keep focus on Ukraine, U.K., Australia and Italy as the four countries who did the most to interfere in our democratic process

>>7357522 First Italy flipped on Mifsud, then Australia on the Clinton errand boy, Alexander Downer, now the UK, feeling the pressure

>>7357522 UK, Australia, Italy and Ukraine. Watch them

>>7357524 We will soon understand why Alexander Downer recently made a bizarre rant about “Israelis” asking him to spy on me

>>7357524 Alexander Downer will forever be remembered as the Clinton errand boy...Good job, dummy.

>>7357524 Alexander Downer...was on Australian tv today ranting like a lunatic against Trump and me. The probe is closing in on him.

 

>>7357524 Australian government is now throwing Downer and Thompson under the bus

>>7357524 The previous administration pushed Mifsud (Italy), Halper (CIA), “Azra Turk” (Turkey), Downer (Australia)

>>7357528 Alexander Downer and Joseph Mifsud have begun to talk about their involvement with the US investigators over the past 72 hours

>>7357528 Word of advice to Downer: when you are spying on an American in London, don’t use your phone so obvious like you did

>>7357528 Facts: the last WH had Ukraine, Australia, the U.K. and Italy “investigate” an entire presidential campaign

>>7360962 Keep the heat on the Clinton errand boy, Alexander Downer, who tried to trap the President and his campaign

>>7360962 The UK is implicated. Halper was there to cover for Downer

>>7360962 Halper = CIA, Mifsud = CIA, Downer = MI6 The FBI doesn’t operate abroad

>>7389230 NYTs reporting on the IG report confirms one thing: Halper, Turk, Downer, Mifsud were not “FBI informants”

Who was the 17th Director of the NSA?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/pentagon-and-intelligence-community-chiefs-have-urged-obama-to-remove-the-head-of-the-nsa/2016/11/19/44de6ea6-adff-11e6-977a-1030f822fc35_story.html

Q

 

 

Pentagon and intelligence community chiefs have urged Obama to remove head of NSA

 

November 19, 2016

 

The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed.

 

The recommendation, delivered to the White House last month, was made by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to several U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

 

Action has been delayed, some administration officials said, because relieving Rogers of his duties is tied to another controversial recommendation: to create separate chains of command at the NSA and the military’s cyberwarfare unit, a recommendation by Clapper and Carter that has been stalled because of other issues.

 

The news comes as Rogers is being considered by President-elect Donald Trump to be his nominee for director of national intelligence to replace Clapper as the official who oversees all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower. That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.

 

The White House, Pentagon and Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment. The NSA did not respond to requests for comment. Carter has concerns with Rogers’s performance, officials said. The driving force for Clapper, meanwhile, was the separation of leadership roles at the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, and his stance that the NSA should be headed by a civilian.

Britain’s plan for post-Brexit union with Canada, Australia and New Zealand REVEALED

 

CANADA could formally propose a non-political union with Britain, Australia and New Zealand within just two years.

 

The plan, revealed by potential future Canadian PM Erin O’Toole MP on the weekend that Britain left the EU, would see Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK ease migration, bolster defence sharing and increase trade between the four Commonwealth nations. Together the “natural allies” of 136 million people account for more than £4.3trillion in gross national income and around 10 percent of the world’s wealth. They also share close strategic relationships with the US through the “Five eyes” intelligence community, the American, British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Armies' Program and a programme to provide interoperability between navies.

 

Because of their similar GDPs, the risk of “brain drain” and “wage dumping” caused by EU Freedom of Movement would not be there, say supporters.

 

The so-called Canzuk plan, an expansion of the Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement currently enjoyed between Australia and New Zealand, already has the backing of Boris Johnson, who last year said: “If we can do something better with Australia, Canada and New Zealand we certainly should.”

 

Last night Bob Seely MP, chair of the Canzuk All Party Parliamentary Group, confirmed the FCO had started to make plans.

 

Canada’s Conservative Party, currently in opposition, has already formally adopted the plans.

 

While Justin Trudeau narrowly scraped a victory in October’s elections, popularity for his Liberal Party minority government is waning, leading to the likelihood of a Conservative victory in 18 months.

 

Speaking on the weekend that Britain formally left the EU O’Toole, currently in a Conservative leadership contest, said: “There’s a real chance of another general election within the next 18 months. If I become PM I will prioritise Canzuk through PM Johnson and counterparts in Australia and NZ. There’s a potential this would form a very real working group and lead to substantive efforts right out of the gate.

 

“There is much interest across all four partners. With Brexit and PM Johnson’s majority, it would be likely well received in Britain."

 

Decisions over migration would be decided by a steering group which would “set the agenda”, he said, adding: “If we get a surge in LNG development in British Columbia, there night be an ability for specialised skilled labour from Britain and Australia and New Zealand. This would be mutually beneficial.

 

…..

 

In Australia Sen Eric Abetz, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, said: “I believe this would make us the envy of the world. We might in fact encourage Canzuk members to have reciprocal rights like the EU. For tourists and trade, given our commonality, there's a real scope to have greater free trade.”

 

He rejected any EU-style political merging between the four sovereign nations.

 

“This would absolutely not be a political union. I wouldn't want a Canzuk Human Rights court which would determine what Australia or New Zealand parliaments can legislate,” he said.

 

“We all want to avoid the diminution of democracy. that’s been the cause of so much concern in the UK and elsewhere in Europe about the impact of the EU.

 

“It’s within the national interest of all four countries to keep each other’s criminals out, or to prevent those who have other debts to respective governments from travelling, but this still leave massive opportunities for 99 percent.

 

“The more limited approach of Canzuk would get a lot of traction because people would see the many benefits but no downside. We’d continue to remain masters of our own destinies.”

 

In London Bob Seely MP, who co-authored a report on Cazuk with the Henry Jackson Society think tank, said: “This isn't to replace the Special Relationship with the US, UN or EU.

 

“This is about the future with four very modern multicultural nations which are very close. It’s about enriching our lives by re-investing in traditional alliances."

 

He added: “The Foreign Office is looking at it.

 

“We have the EU and US trade deals to focus on this year. But many of us in Britain and abroad would like to put this plan on the front burner.”

Prince Andrew called his 'victim' Virginia Roberts 'a very sick girl': Duke made insensitive remark just days after she told of her abuse at hands of Royal's paedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein

 

Prince Andrew described his alleged victim Virginia Roberts as 'a very sick girl', The Mail on Sunday can reveal today.

 

The Duke made his insensitive remark in a message to a friend and business associate just days after Ms Roberts described the appalling abuse she had suffered at the hands of Andrew's paedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein.

 

Her shocking revelations – which came in this newspaper – were accompanied by the now-infamous photograph of the Prince with his arm around her waist.

 

The apparently dismissive comment to his friend – who had asked how Andrew was coping with the scandal –appears to question the mental health and credibility of Ms Roberts, who later claimed she was forced to have sex with Andrew from the age of 17 after being trafficked by Epstein.

 

Last night a lawyer for clients suing the Epstein estate said: 'Until Andrew talks to the FBI about his relationship with Virginia – and what he knows about the other victims and wrongdoers – it's his credibility at stake, not hers.

 

'Virginia's mental health is excellent and has been throughout, although it has been severely tested by Andrew and Epstein.'

 

The revelation comes as:

 

  • The Duke faces mounting demands, including from Ms Roberts, to co-operate with an FBI investigation into Epstein's sordid activities;

 

  • Four of Epstein's other alleged victims urge Andrew to talk to the FBI for the sake of 'your daughters and their children', warning him in a powerful open letter published in today's Mail on Sunday that 'the world is watching';

 

  • This newspaper reveals that the Prince also sent the same associate a repellent 'joke' about breast cancer, raising serious questions about his judgment.

 

The Duke made both the bad-taste joke and his comment about Ms Roberts' health to his friend Jonathan Rowland in 2011.

 

The 'very sick girl' slur came in an exchange seen by the MoS. Mr Rowland, the son of controversial property tycoon David Rowland, had contacted Andrew, saying: 'Hope the press isn't getting you down to [sic] much.'

 

The Duke replied: 'Not at all!… She is a very sick girl apparently. The innuendo is the problem. But there is nothing that one can do for that! Shrug and move on.'

 

His comment appears to show little sympathy for Ms Roberts, who had bravely waived her anonymity to tell the disturbing story of the years she spent as Epstein's sex slave.

 

The Duke similarly failed to show sympathy for Epstein's victims during his disastrous BBC interview with Emily Maitlis in November that ultimately led to him quitting Royal duties. During the questioning, Andrew insisted he had no recollection of ever meeting Ms Roberts, now 36 and going by her married surname Giuffre.

 

But the messages between the Duke and Mr Rowland suggests that Andrew had spoken to someone – possibly billionaire Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, who is alleged to have procured young girls on Epstein's behalf – about her claims.

 

Last year it emerged that the Duke asked for Ms Maxwell's help in dealing with Ms Roberts's claims in 2015. In an email uncovered by BBC's Panorama, the Prince wrote: 'Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.' Ms Maxwell replied: 'Have some info. Call me when you have a moment.'

 

The exchange with Mr Rowland is one of the few times Andrew has directly referred to Ms Roberts, who claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein. She claimed that Andrew bought her alcohol in London's Tramp nightclub in March 2001, when she was 17, before they had sex at Ms Maxwell's home. The Duke, 59, has vehemently denied the allegations against him.

Review unearths years of sex abuse by Jesuits priests

 

Sex-offence allegations against 21 Jesuit priests and lay staff have been unearthed in an independent review into the society’s duplicitous handling of serial pedophile and former brother Victor Higgs.

 

Former Victorian Supreme Court chief justice Marilyn Warren said the 21 other offenders were accused of misconduct between 1968 and 1971, with Higgs transferred to Sydney’s St Ignatius at Riverview from Adelaide’s St Ignatius at Athelstone in 1970.

 

It is the first time the extent of offending across the order in the late 1960s and early 70s had been made public and was cited by Ms Warren as relevant to the society’s decision-making when dealing with Higgs.

 

Higgs, now in his 80s and in jail, was sent from Adelaide to Sydney despite the order’s hierarchy knowing that he had assaulted children at the Athelstone campus.

 

Ms Warren’s review into Higgs has revealed an extraordinary lack of documentation previously kept by the order in Australia, including three of its marquee schools — Riverview, Xavier College in Melbourne and St Ignatius in Adelaide.

 

She found that at least three complaints about Higgs’s behaviour were made to St Ignatius’s then Athelstone rector, the late Father Frank Wallace, before Higgs was shifted to Sydney in a state of internal disgrace.

 

Ms Warren found that the order’s then provincial, the late Father Francis Kelly, knew that Higgs had offended against children at the Adelaide campus.

 

Despite these complaints, Higgs was moved to Sydney, where his offending intensified while working at Riverview’s boarding school.

 

The current-day Society of Jesus provincial, Father Brian McCoy, told The Australian that anyone with complaints about wrongdoing should approach the order, stressing it had been a lamentable chapter in its history.

 

“Certainly we would want people to come forward and feel free to come forward,’’ he told The Australian.

 

The full report of Ms Warren’s review was sent to survivors of Higgs at the weekend and comes after relentless debate about what the order knew, and when, about his depraved ways.

 

Higgs was an overweight alcoholic who preyed on dozens of children in Adelaide and Sydney, despite authorities being told very early that he was an offender. He has been convicted in both states off multiple offences.

 

Higgs also worked at Xavier College in Melbourne and St Aloysius in Sydney.

 

Victims said Higgs was a voyeur who also touched them on their genitalia in the guise of monitoring their sexual development. He picked on sexually underdeveloped children.

 

In conducting the inquiry, Ms Warren has exposed a culture where the order in the late 1960s would deliberately leave out of meeting minutes discussion about pedophiles.

 

“In my view, the fact of these complaints was a factor in the decision to move Higgs from Athelstone to Riverview in 1970,’’ she found. She wrote to the society in December seeking more documents and answers in relation to the 21 other accused.

 

The first of the allegations relating to the 21 did not surface until decades after the offences occurred and not all allegations were substantiated or referred to police, sometimes because the accuser did not want to progress through the courts.

 

Only two of the 21 accused are still with the order, one having been exonerated and the other is on restricted duties.

 

Regarding Higgs, Father McCoy said: “I need to apologise. … We dropped the ball and people got hurt and they’ve carried the burden. We let people down. And, yes, we failed to keep records and I think that some of the Jesuits and others didn’t think it was as serious as it was.’’

 

Higgs pleaded guilty in 2016 to two counts of indecent assault at St Ignatius in Adelaide and was sentenced to 2½ years’ jail for ­offences between 1968 and 1970. In 2018, he was found guilty of 16 counts of indecent assault at Riverview against six boys.

 

The Warren review was set up by the Jesuits to determine what the order knew and when about Higgs. Father Wallace, now dead, was the principal at the school and the review found he had been told at least three times that Higgs was an offender.

Resignations in the news

 

Australia Agriculture Minister McKenzie Quits Over Sports Grants

 

Bridget McKenzie resigned as Australia’s agriculture minister after weeks of criticism over her handling of a A$100 million ($67 million) sport-grants program before last year’s election.

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said McKenzie had tendered her resignation following an internal investigation that found she had breached ministerial standards by failing to declare she was a member of a shooting club for which she approved a A$36,000 grant.

 

The investigation found the “timing was such that a potential conflict should have been clear,” Morrison said at a press conference in Canberra on Sunday.

Greens leader Richard Di Natale quits leadership, will leave Senate

 

Senator Richard Di Natale has resigned as leader of the Greens and will leave Federal Parliament within months to spend more time with his young family.

 

He made the surprise announcement to Greens colleagues on Monday, immediately spilling his position as leader and those of co-deputy leaders Adam Bandt and Larissa Waters.

 

The 10-member Greens party room will vote for a new leadership team on Tuesday.

 

Senator Di Natale, who replaced Christine Milne as the party's leader in 2015, described the decision to quit as "very difficult", but told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, "The time's right for me, my family and for the Greens.

 

"It's a tough, demanding job. It's been a privilege to do it. But I've got to the point in my life where I've got two young boys [and] I want to be there for them," he said.

Rabbi who crowned Netanyahu warns against Trump plan

 

"Somehow [Trump] has been misled to come to believe that a demilitarized Palestinian state is acceptable," said Australian mining tycoon Joseph Gutnick.

 

The Australian mining tycoon who helped Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu win his first election for prime minister in 1996 came out strongly on Sunday against Netanyahu’s endorsement of US President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan.

 

Netanyahu trailed incumbent Shimon Peres in that race but received a last-minute boost from the “Netanyahu is good for the Jews” campaign that was funded by Joseph Gutnick, a Chabad rabbi who made a fortune from taking the advice of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, to mine diamonds in Australia’s Northern Territory.

 

“With all the respect, recognition and appreciation to President Trump for all he has done for Israel and the Jewish people, somehow he has been misled to come to believe that a demilitarized Palestinian state is acceptable,” Gutnick said. “It would be catastrophic for the security of Israel, much worse than the Gaza Strip withdrawal and its terrible consequences.

 

“The Lubavitcher Rebbe warned for more than 40 years and 101 times the enormous dangers of any type of Palestinian state, and even talking about such a possibility,” he said. “The prime minister must realize that he is leading Israel into a dangerous trap if he continues talking about a Palestinian state in any form.”

 

Gutnick has maintained a close relationship with Netanyahu. He warned that if the prime minister did not clarify the issue of a Palestinian state immediately, it would cause him “serious, damaging results” in the March 2 election, because he will lose the support of opponents of a Palestinian state to other parties on the Right.

 

Asked if he has relayed that message to the prime minister, Gutnick said he spoke to him a few weeks ago and has warned him many times about the dangers of even a demilitarized Palestinian state. And he questioned Netanyahu’s motivations.

 

“How do you stop Islamic radicals from entering such a state?” he asked. “What stops another prime minister from making it into a militarized state, like we saw with Oslo? We have discussed all the dangers at length. I can’t fathom what he is doing and why. Will that be his legacy?”

 

When asked if Netanyahu will lose the election if he keeps promoting the Trump plan, Gutnick said that he is "not a prophet."

Human trafficking cases on rise

 

Human trafficking referrals to the Australian Federal Police jumped from just two in 2013-14 to 33 last year.

 

Prosecutions have fluctuated, with two prosecutions launched in 2018-19 and eight new prosecutions for human trafficking and slavery offences launched this financial year.

 

Data obtained by The Australian shows the difficulty in obtaining convictions for these offences. The Commonwealth Department of Public Prosecutions prosecuted 36 cases between July 1, 2013, and January 21, 2020. In that time, it recorded eight convictions.

 

CDPP deputy director Mark de Crespigny said there were “significant issues” in addressing human trafficking and slavery in a criminal context.

 

He said prosecutions of human trafficking and slavery almost invariably relied on evidence of the alleged victim who would have to be willing to testify in court.

 

He said there was often limited evidence independent to the victim’s as to the nature of the interactions between the victim and the accused.

 

“These are very serious offences, which can result in very significant terms of imprisonment and need to be proved beyond reasonable doubt,” he said.

 

Australian Federal Police National Response Operations Detective Superintendent Joanne Cameron said it would be simple to put the increase down to a rise in offending, but she was more confident in saying the increase was because of the community becoming more aware of the problem and more confident in the justice system.

 

Superintendent Cameron said it was important to note that not all referrals result in a case following investigation and could lead to other action including referring the alleged victim to supporting agencies.

 

“At least we get them out of that exploitation and give them support,” she said.

 

She agreed with Mr de Crespigny that cases came down to witness statements, adding that there were similarities between dealing with trafficking victims and victims of family violence.

 

“You have vulnerable people and a criminal justice system that needs to be very aware of their vulnerabilities so they aren’t re-traumatised by the whole process of going to court,” she said.

 

Superintendent Cameron said trafficking may involve the victim entering Australia under a false identity or legitimately.

 

“A person gets duped into believing they’re coming into Australia for a reason, to do legitimate work,” she said.

 

‘‘When they get here … it’s possible they have their passport and identity documents taken.”

 

She said it was common for people to then be told they had to work off a debt whether in the sex industry, construction or working 12 hours a day on a farm.

 

“It is extraordinary wrong­doing and strikes at the heart of why a lot of people need police — to help victims,” she said.

Elon Musk's SpaceX clears first hurdle to Australian broadband market

 

Communications regulator allows Starlink satellites over Australian airspace, but Foxtel objects

 

Elon Musk’s SpaceX satellite broadband service has taken its first step into the Australian market. The communications regulator has added the company to a list of satellite operators allowed over Australian airspace.

 

But Foxtel has raised concerns the service might conflict with its subscription TV service.

 

The SpaceX Starlink currently has 242 satellites deployed above earth, which it plans to expand to a “constellation” of 7,518 low-earth orbit satellites.

 

The company launched 60 satellites into space last month, and plans to launch around 60 per fortnight in 2020.

 

It is aiming to have services operating in northern parts of the US and in Canada in 2020, and then “near-global coverage of the populated world” by 2021.

 

Late last month, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (Acma) added SpaceX and two other companies to the Radiocommunications (Foreign Space Objects) Determination that governs what satellite companies can operate in Australia.

 

Much remains a mystery about what Starlink’s internet services will be like in reality. In a November 2016 filing with the US federal communications commission (FCC), SpaceX said it would be able to offer speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second for users, at “low cost”.

 

SpaceX being added to the list of satellite operators in Australia is the first stage in the regulatory process. The company still needs to obtain more regulatory approvals, and eventually a licence to use spectrum for the satellites to communicate.

 

That licence is likely to be a matter of contention. Australia’s subscription television company has indicated it could potentially be in conflict with its own satellite TV service.

 

In a submission to the Acma’s proposal, News Corp-owned TV service Foxtel said it had “very high levels of concern” about potential interference of its service to satellite customers if SpaceX and another company, Kepler, are allowed to use the same Ku frequency band that Foxtel operates in.

 

“Given the potential catastrophic business impact of interference, the need to protect existing [geostationary orbit] systems from these new [non-geostationary orbit] constellations must be a priority for the Acma going forward.”

 

In its submission to the FCC, SpaceX said it would have “flexibility to share that spectrum with other licensed satellite and terrestrial users”.

 

The difficulty facing SpaceX is that customers will need to buy antennas to connect to the satellites, and some have questioned whether that would be affordable for most, or whether it would be commercially viable, given the project would not only compete with other satellite operators but 5G networks and fixed-line internet providers.

 

Musk has said they will be about the size of a pizza box, easy to install, and simple to use, and between US$100 ($149) and US$300 ($447). But one analyst, Tim Farrar, has suggested it could cost US$1,000 ($1,488) alone.

 

In Australia, the biggest competitor would be the government-owned NBN Co’s two satellites, currently servicing over 96,000 homes and businesses in regional and rural Australia. The speeds offered on NBN’s satellites are significantly less than that promised on Starlink.

 

The NBN satellites are currently five years into their fifteen-year lifespan. The company has flagged it will need to start considering options in five years for how to replace the satellites and has suggested it could consider a SpaceX-style system in the future.

Nancy Pelosi ripping up Donald Trump's speech will cause a 'big shift'

 

Published on 5 Feb 2020

Sky News host Paul Murray says President Donald Trump’s State of the Union, and the Democrats response to it, was a ‘very big day in the race to November 2020”.

 

Immediately after the State of the Union address, Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore up President Trump’s speech which included mentions to families affected by the ongoing war in the middle east, premature births, and families affected by international terrorism.

 

Mr Murray said following Ms Pelosi’s actions, there will be a “big shift” in the race to the November election.

Jeffrey Epstein victims’ lawyer claims she has a NEW witness who saw Prince Andrew with Virginia Roberts at nightclub

 

A LAWYER for Jeffrey Epstein's victims claims she has a NEW witness who saw Prince Andrew dancing with Virginia Roberts at the Tramp nightclub.

 

Lisa Bloom said the woman had been partying with a friend when she accidentally stepped on a fellow reveller's toes at the exclusive nightspot in London in 2001 - before realising it was the royal.

 

And the witness claimed she saw the prince with a young woman - since recognising her as a young Virginia Roberts, who claims she had sex with Andrew when she was a teen.

 

Prince Andrew has denied the allegations, stating he has "no recollection" of meeting Ms Roberts and was instead at a Pizza Express in Woking for a party on the night in question.

 

Speaking today, lawyer Ms Bloom said she had been approached by the witness after Prince Andrew's interview with Newsnight.

 

She said: "Her story is this - she was there in the nightclub and she stepped on the foot of somebody who was dancing next to her.

 

"She said 'I'm sorry', he said 'that's OK'.

 

"The friend she was there with said 'don't you realise you just stepped on the foot of the member of Royal Family - that's Prince Andrew'.

 

"(The witness) thought to herself 'oh my God I'm in the presence of a royal'.

 

"She had never been in the presence of a royal before, she never has been since.

 

"It was a very big moment to her."

 

Lisa added: "She says she frankly stared at him and gawked at him because he was a prince.

 

"After she was done staring at him, she looked at who he was with and it was a very young girl about her age.

 

"In the photographs she has seen since, she identifies that young woman, that girl I should say, as Virginia Roberts."

 

PIZZA EXPRESS CLAIM

 

Prince Andrew has denied claims he was ever at the nightclub on March 10, saying he had taken his daughter Beatrice to the restaurant.

 

He said: "I've only been to Woking a couple of times and I remember it weirdly distinctly.

 

"As soon as somebody reminded me of it, I went 'oh yes, I remember that'. But I have no recollection of ever meeting or being in the company or the presence."

 

But Lisa said the new witness was "incensed" by Prince Andrew's claims, saying: "She felt it was her obligation as a citizen to come forward."

 

She added the witness was now willing to speak to the FBI if they needed.

 

UNITED FRONT

 

Today, Lisa Bloom sat down with the spokesperson for the family of Harry Dunn, Radd Seiger, as they called on more to be done in both cases.

 

Harry, 19, was tragically killed near RAF Croughton in August last year, with suspect Anne Sacoolas - the wife of a US diplomat - fleeing the country.

 

Despite being charged, the 42-year-old has not returned to the UK.

 

An extradition request to the US was also turned down.

 

Both Ms Bloom and the Dunn family have demanded Ms Sacoolas return to the UK to face justice, while saying Prince Andrew should likewise answer questions from the FBI.

 

Ms Bloom said the "parallels between the two cases are eerie" and involved "everyday teenagers" who were "victimised".

 

She said: "Today we stand with the family of Harry Dunn and they stand with us. Both Mrs Sacoolas and Prince Andrew must cooperate with law enforcement.

 

"I call upon my government, the US to return Mrs Sacoolas to the UK to face justice."

 

US authorities recently claimed they had received "zero cooperation" from Prince Andrew despite him stating he was "willing" to speak with them about his friendship with paedo Jeffrey Epstein.

 

It has since been reported the FBI had been trying to interview the under-fire royal since November.

 

Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

'Like terrorists': Malcolm Turnbull assails Liberal climate deniers

 

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has likened climate change deniers within the Liberal Party to "terrorists", and argued for a "green new deal" to shift the economy off fossil fuels.

 

Speaking in Sydney at an event hosted by the Coalition for Conservation, Mr Turnbull and his wife Lucy said Australia should use the "black spring and black summer" of huge bushfires as a "turning point" to take serious climate action.

 

"If ever Australians were under any illusion that the consequences of a hotter and drier climate were not real, harsh and dangerous, those illusions have been shattered this summer. These bushfires are utterly without precedent in our history," Mr Turnbull said.

 

The Turnbulls, who were in south-east Asia during some of the peak of the bushfires, said the effect on Australia's image abroad had been profound.

 

"This has branded us in a way that we would never ever imagine could happen," Mrs Turnbull, who is also chair of the Greater Sydney Commission, said.

 

"We are seen as very behind….as a leader in a negative sense. That should really embarrass so many Australians."

 

Mr Turnbull, who was toppled as prime minister in August 2018, said Australia should "use this terrible summer as a turning point where we will embrace the reality of our obligation to cut emissions, our obligation to lead", and also stop burning coal and other fossil fuels.

 

What was lacking was political will but that would change when Australians demanded it, he said.

 

"When they recognise a political cost in not addressing climate change in an effective way they will change," Mr Turnbull said.

 

"The calculus that has been made by many people in the Coalition is that they can take many of their voters for granted."

 

Liberal Party MPs who were sceptical about climate change were "reinforced and amplified and nourished by the right wing media" particularly those of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, and "basically operates like terrorists".

 

"Basically they say, unless you give us what we want we will blow the joint up," Mr Turnbull said.

 

The Coalition for Conservation is a lobby group of mostly Liberal Party members who are pressing for a higher priority to be given to environmental issues, especially climate change.

 

Both Mr and Mrs Turnbull stressed the prospect of more jobs with renewables, including through lower electricity prices. The cost of large-scale solar photovoltaics with six hours of storage was now $40 per megawatt-hour cheaper than new black coal-fired power plants, Mr Turnbull said, citing figures from the Australian Energy Market Operator.

 

Mr Turnbull's backing of a "green new deal" echoed a similar call this week by new Greens leader Adam Bandt, in his first comments after securing the post.

 

"We are all custodians of future generations," Mrs Turnbull said. "We are all traumatised to some degree or another by this…black spring and black summer"

 

"We have to try our very best to do something about it. We owe it to ourselves and we owe it to the rest of the world," she said.

Pyne under fire for comments about cyber attack on Parliament

 

Former defence minister Christopher Pyne has been rebuked by Federal Parliament for suggesting a cyber attack was "much worse" than the public had been told.

 

Speaker of the House of Representatives Tony Smith condemned Mr Pyne's comments about the hack on Parliament's computer network in January 2019, saying any suggestion the public had been kept in the dark about the extent of the hack was "false".

 

In an interview with former Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet secretary Martin Parkinson on his podcast Pyne Time, Mr Pyne said the cyber attack was serious but he could never talk about the true extent of it.

 

"You and I know how much worse it all was, which we can never talk about," Mr Pyne said with a chuckle to Mr Parkinson.

 

Mr Smith told Parliament on Thursday he and Senate President Scott Ryan received detailed briefings from the Australian Signals Directorate and the Department of Parliamentary Services after the cyber attack that informed their public statements.

 

"Communication and management of the incident was guided by the information available to us as presiding officers in the context of the parliamentary computing network," Mr Smith said. "Of course, as we pointed out, our statements balanced the need for transparency with discretion on matters of national security.

 

"But any inference that our statements to the parliament to this issue were inaccurate or misleading as to the seriousness of the situation is false. I stand by the statements made by the President of the Senate and myself.

 

"I would just finally say the podcast also refers to a cyber intrusion at the Australian National University … So perhaps it shouldn't be inferred that the comments necessarily relate to the parliamentary network. The important point is the president and I have no further information or knowledge as to what Mr Pyne meant."

 

The comment has caused concern within senior levels of the government after Prime Minister Scott Morrison last year assured Australians the government had "chosen to be transparent" about the attack.

 

In a letter to Mr Smith, Labor's assistant spokesman for cyber security, Tim Watts, said Mr Pyne's comments risked undermining public confidence in the statements of the Prime Minister and presiding officers.

 

Mr Watts said he was conscious of the need to balance transparency with discretion, but Mr Pyne's comments that the incident was "much worse" than publicly revealed was "not easily dismissed".

 

"Given this, I am writing to you to seek your guidance about what steps you intend to take in response to Mr Pyne's comments to ensure the Australian public is able to have confidence in their understanding of the nature and extent of these attacks," Mr Watts said.

 

"As I know you are aware, cyber attacks on democratic institutions have become common place around the world in recent times. A common intent of these attacks is to undermine public confidence in the integrity of these institutions and democratic processes more broadly.

 

"In this context, it is a national security imperative that the public has confidence in what they are told about the nature and impact of cyber attacks on Australia's democratic institutions."

 

Mr Pyne was contacted for comment but had not responded by deadline.

 

Although the Morrison government has never publicly confirmed it, senior government sources have said Australian intelligence determined China was responsible for the malware attack.

 

Mr Parkinson told Mr Pyne he was "amazed" at how little concern was expressed by the public when cyber attacks were reported.

 

"Look at [the attack on] ANU … we should be appalled by this, look at what happened to Parliament House – we should be appalled," the former most senior bureaucrat said.

 

Mr Parkinson said there was "no question that the level of cyber attacks and political interference had "gone through the roof".

 

"And that's not good, that's eroding our sovereignty, and we must, and are, responding to that … but to then take it to the sort of level of hysteria where if somebody is a member of the Chinese diaspora, automatically they seem to have some sort of mark against them …" he said.

Dear Mr Turdbull, Fuck off with your AOC Green New Deal (GND). You should be well equipped to manage that given your happy synchronicity with the GND’s manifesto to abolish cows as a food source. And also, you have a free pass to fuck off via airplane one last time to a sympathetic country, given the manifestos abolishment of fossil fuels, before you start walking the talk. OR you could venture over to China and have a nice dictatorial chat with the CCP about a GND for them. I hear they are in need of superior opinions like yours.

Julie Bishop says climate change has been 'weaponised' in Australian politics

 

Climate change has become a weapon with which to wage war over other issues in Australian politics, says former foreign minister-turned Australian National University chancellor Julie Bishop.

 

Ms Bishop also said she had no regrets about the Coalition's campaign against the Gillard government's carbon price.

 

But she did regret the dumping of the National Energy Guarantee, which triggered an internal party furore that ended close ally Malcolm Turnbull's prime ministership, and her 11-year tenure as deputy Liberal leader.

 

"It was a national energy policy – we do not currently have a national energy policy, as far as I can see," she said in her first series of interviews as ANU chancellor.

 

After leaving politics at the last federal election in May, Ms Bishop replaced former Labor foreign minister Gareth Evans at the helm of the ANU.

 

But during her first month in the job, the campus was closed due to bushfires and had important research destroyed by a violent hailstorm.

 

The university is also grappling with a travel ban from China due to the coronavirus, which is stopping thousands of Chinese students from flying to Australia before the start of the academic year on February 24.

 

Ms Bishop said Australia has been on the front line of extreme weather events and climate change, and it has "given many people cause for reflection".

 

She said the decision on emissions reductions for the Paris conference while she was foreign minister was "a unanimous position. We can agree, even though there might be different perspectives on how we achieve that."

 

But climate change had been weaponised, "ostensibly" costing a series of prime ministers since Kevin Rudd their job, she said.

 

"Julia Gillard lost her way when we – as a Coalition – mounted such an effective attack on the carbon tax that both Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull were subject to such discontent in the party room because there were not aligning with a particular view of climate change," she said.

 

"But I actually think many of those leadership tensions were related to other matters … as I said, weaponised."

 

Ms Bishop had no regrets about campaigning against the carbon price, even though it effectively reduced emissions.

 

"The fact is Julia Gillard as prime minister promised, 'there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead' – I can't believe I still remember that. Her government was always going to be held to account for that election promise.

 

"No I don't have any regrets that we held her to account. I do regret that the National Energy Guarantee did not become government policy, I believe it was an elegant solution.

 

"It was agnostic on how renewable or other forms of energy would be produced, as long as it was lower in price and accessible 24/7 and met our emissions reduction targets. I believe the National Energy Guarantee would do that."

First stop White House as Australia’s new ambassador to US Arthur Sinodinos meets Trump

 

Australia’s new Ambassador to the United States Arthur Sinodinos says he is ‘humbled’ to represent his country in overseeing the relationship with its most important ally.

 

Mr Sinodinos, who arrived in the US this week, met with Donald Trump at the White House on Friday to present his credentials.

 

“It was an honour to present my credentials this morning, with my wife Elizabeth, as Australia’s Ambassador to the United States to President Trump,” the former Senator said.

 

“I could not be more proud or humbled to represent Australia as custodian of our most important bilateral relationship.”

 

Mr Sinodinos replaces former Ambassador Joe Hockey at a time when relations between the two countries are strong with no major bilateral disputes.

 

After initially clashing with then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over the refugee deal in early 2017, Mr Trump has since adopted a positive view of the relationship with Australia.

 

In 2018 he exempted Australia from his new steel and aluminium tariffs and last year he threw a rare state dinner in Washington to honour Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

Charged ALP lobbyist found dead

 

A Labor high-flyer and political lobbyist has died just months before he was due to face court on child sex charges.

 

Andres Puig was found dead at his East Melbourne home yesterday. Police confirmed the development and said a report would be compiled for the coroner.

 

“Police will prepare a report for the coroner following the death of a man in East Melbourne on Friday night,” Victoria Police said.

 

“The man was located deceased in his Powlett Street home shortly before 6.30pm. The death is not being treated as suspicious.”

 

Police charged Mr Puig, an influential political lobbyist with child sex offences and producing and possessing child pornography. The former assistant state secretary of the Victorian ALP with impeccable Labor connections has been listed to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court on April 16.

 

Mr Puig failed to respond to telephone and text requests from The Weekend Australian on Friday to detail the nature of the police charges.

 

The 44-year-old was charged by Footscray police after being investigated for the offences, allegedly committed last year.

 

The investigation ramped up last October, and it’s believed Mr Puig was more recently arrested and charged, before being bailed. “It’s very early in the legal process,” a source said.

 

In a statement, a Victoria Police spokesman said: “Police have charged a 44-year-old East Melbourne man with ‘enter agreement for child sex services’ and ‘produce and possess child pornography’. The charges relate to alleged offences in 2019. The man has been bailed and will appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court.”

 

Mr Puig built his reputation as a political machine man in the 1990s and 2000s. He is well connected within the union movement and rose to ALP assistant state secretary in the early 2000s.

 

After leaving the ALP, Mr Puig helped build Civic Group into a lobbying powerhouse across both sides of politics but appears to have cut ties with the firm. Company records reveal the Argentinian-born lobbyist ceased being a director of several Civic­related entities on October 10, 2019. “There’s no coincidence he disappeared from public life at this time,” a source said. “It’s the same time the investigation ramped up.”

 

A Labor source said Mr Puig had been keeping a low profile more recently. “He seems to have gone missing in the past few months,” the source said.

 

In the lead-up to Labor’s 2014 election victory, Mr Puig was embroiled in controversy when several staff within then opposition leader Daniel Andrews’s office broke ranks and raised concerns about his influence on policy. Three Labor staffers raised concerns there was a conflict with Mr Puig providing strategic advice to Labor, which went on to win the 2014 election, while representing developers who could benefit from policy decisions. “He’s everywhere,” one staffer said in 2014.

Pedophiles coerce kids as young as three to film themselves

 

There has been a spike in child sexual abuse videos and images being made by children themselves on their mobile phones under the instruction of pedophiles.

 

New figures revealed exclusively to The Weekend Australian by the eSafety Commissioner show a doubling in overall investigations into online child sexual abuse and other abhorrent violent material online, up from about 10,000 in 2018 to nearly 20,000 last year. Among the material, investigators say, they are seeing a higher volume of “coerced, self-generated child sexual abuse material involving children”, some as young as three years old.

 

The videos seen by investigators include many cases of children, either alone or in a group, recording themselves on their mobile phones or webcams taking off their clothes, and engaging in sexual acts.

 

The children are acting at the instruction of a person on the other end of the phone, who is recording it.

 

Many of these videos are then shared in pedophile forums on the clear or the dark web. “When we give a child a connected device, we are potentially allowing a stranger into their lives,” said Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant. “And our research reveals that 94 per cent of parents have given their child access to an online device by the age of four. In this context it is disturbing that we are seeing an increasing volume of coerced, self-generated child sexual abuse material online.”

 

Ahead of Safer Internet Day next Tuesday, Ms Inman Grant also endorsed a letter sent on Thursday to Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg from more than 100 child safety advocates and organisations urging him to ditch his plan for end-to-end encryption on all its platforms, including the popular Facebook Messenger. The groups are worried that encryption will increase the risk to children by allowing abusers to escalate their grooming activity without fear of detection.

The fan who greeted Andrew, school teacher Renae Grljusich-Poolman, told the Australian that the turnout for Queen Elizabeth’s second son was “disappointing.” But she agreed that concerns about Andrew’s friendship with the now-deceased sex offender Epstein had “marred his credibility,” the Australian reported.

Westpac knew anti-crime provisions were inadequate years ago, MPs told

 

Labor senator reads out secret report in parliamentary inquiry over objections from bank

 

Westpac knew its ability to fight financial crime was inadequate two years before legal action in November in which authorities accused it of 23m breaches of the law that included allowing customers to pay for child exploitation in the Philippines, federal parliament has heard.

 

The bank’s risk of breaching anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism finance (AML-CTF) laws was unacceptably high and the bank accepted it needed to improve its systems, the prudential regulator was told in a secret report delivered by accounting firm EY in 2017.

 

On Friday, Labor senator Deborah O’Neill read out sections of the report during a committee inquiry into auditors, steamrolling through objections from Westpac executives and warnings from the chair of the committee, Liberal James Paterson.

 

O’Neill also blasted Westpac for refusing to give the committee a list of documents she requested on 28 January, and only informing the committee of its position at 6.30pm on Thursday night.

 

The report was prepared by EY for the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (Apra) so that Westpac could comply with a prudential standard, CPS 220, that requires it to have systems in place to monitor and mitigate its risk.

 

O’Neill said: “EY’s overall conclusion was the design of Westpac’s risk management framework was overall adequate, appropriate and partially effective for an institution of the size and complexity of Westpac.”

 

However, EY found that “risk identification, assessment and management of non-financial risk was evaluated as partially effective and partially adequate”.

 

“Westpac has noted that financial crime is an area that requires improvement,” she said, reading from the report.

 

She continued: “The risk of breaching AML-CTF obligations has at times been outside of appetite and we observe there have been issues across several jurisdictions reflecting heightened regulatory expectations and an acknowledgment by Westpac that its current AML-CTF capabilities require improvement.”

 

“Outside of appetite” is a term meaning that the risk of a breach of the law was higher than management of the bank was willing to accept.

 

“Westpac are investing in the roll-out of a new transaction monitoring system … to enhance its financial crime capability,” O’Neill said, again reading from the report.

 

Westpac’s chief risk officer, David Stephen, who was giving evidence to the hearing, repeatedly complained that the report had been provided to the committee on a confidential basis.

 

He and the acting chief financial officer, Gary Thursby, declined to answer most of O’Neill’s questions on the basis that Westpac was facing multiple investigations and lawsuits over the breaches.

 

Australia’s financial intelligence agency, Austrac, launched federal court legal action against Westpac over the alleged breaches on 20 November last year, sending the bank’s share price into a steep decline.

 

While most of the 23m breaches alleged by Austrac relate to its treatment of international funds transfer instructions, the regulator also alleged it failed to stop a dozen customers making more than 3,000 low-value payments to the Philippines that were consistent with child exploitation.

 

These customers included six who had repeatedly travelled to the Philippines or south-east Asia and one who had a prior conviction for child abuse, Austrac said in court documents.

 

The lawsuit resulted in the former chief executive Brian Hartzer, chairman Lindsay Maxsted and the non-executive director responsible for oversight of risk, Ewen Crouch, tendering their resignations.

 

Thursby was elevated into his current role as a temporary replacement for Peter King, who is acting as CEO until a new boss is found.

 

O’Neill savaged the bank over its lack of cooperation with the committee, saying that despite its ability to command legions of lawyers it had failed to make a proper application for public interest immunity against production of documents.

 

“Your counsel simply doesn’t understand the rights of parliament to demand that information,” she told Stephen and Thursby.

 

Stephen apologised for the lateness of Westpac’s letter on Thursday night.

 

“With the benefit of hindsight that communication wasn’t appropriate,” he said.

Motion to be heard in Parliament

 

Labor MP Josh Burns and Liberal MP Dave Sharma will tonight (Monday) move a motion calling for the urgent extradition of alleged child sexual abuser Malka Leifer.

 

FEDERAL MPs Josh Burns and Dave Sharma will tonight (Monday) move a motion in Parliament calling for alleged child sexual abuser Malka Leifer to be extradited to Australia.

 

The bipartisan motion – which is expected to pass the house – will acknowledge “the bravery of Ms Leifer’s alleged victims – especially Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper for their tireless pursuit of justice”, and note that “over five years have elapsed, and over 60 court hearings have been held in Israel, since this extradition request was first lodged, without any significant progress having been made”.

 

It will also call for the “immediate extradition of Malka Leifer to Australia to face 74 charges of child sexual abuse”.

 

Alleged victim Dassi Erlich welcomed the motion, stating it was “important this issue remains outstanding in the minds of the Israeli legal and political establishment”.

 

She said she felt “validated this frustrating process will not be ignored” by the Australian government until extradition proceedings are honoured by Israel.

 

“To our friends in Israel we say: it is time to act. Do the right thing and support justice for victims in both our countries,” Sharma said.

 

“We have been exceptionally patient in this case, but enough is enough.”

 

“Allegations of interference in this case, especially by the Israeli Minister for Health, Yaakov Litzman, are shameful,” Burns added.

Matt Canavan offers Cabinet resignation, throws support behind Barnaby Joyce for Nationals leadership

 

The political future of Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack hangs in the balance amid an insurgent push to reinstate Barnaby Joyce into the Nationals leadership.

 

Cabinet Minister Matt Canavan late on Monday called Nationals leader Mr McCormack to offer his resignation from the frontbench to back Mr Joyce's push.

 

In a late twist, Senator Canavan said he had also referred himself to the Prime Minister over a possible conflict of interest having failed to disclose a membership.

 

Mr Joyce had earlier in the day said he would challenge for the leadership if the top job was spilled.

Barnaby Joyce backer and Queensland MP Llew O'Brien quits Nationals party room

 

Queensland MP Llew O'Brien has quit the Nationals party room. But in a shock move late on Monday, he won a promotion after Labor successfully conspired to elevate him to become Deputy Speaker in the House of Representatives.

 

The backbencher has been a vocal supporter of former leader Barnaby Joyce, and moved the spill motion which allowed Mr Joyce to challenge leader Michael McCormack in the Nationals party room last week.

 

That challenge from the former deputy prime minister ultimately failed.

 

Mr O'Brien has been outspoken on a number of policy issues, including a stronger national integrity commission.

 

He will remain a member of the Liberal National Party in Queensland and has told Prime Minister Scott Morrison he will continue to offer the Government support.

Court to decide if serial WA paedophile should remain in community

 

A former athletics coach who groomed and abused several young girls and breached his bail conditions three times after being released will remain in the community until the court makes a decision on his supervision order in June.

 

Ross Finch O'Brien, 68, was first sentenced to four years in jail in 2000 for abusing five girls aged between seven and 12 who he was coaching in a Little Athletics program.

 

Between 1991 and 1999, O'Brien befriended the parents of some children before touching the young girls over the clothing or near their genitals and kissing them on the mouth.

 

After taking part in a sex offender treatment program, O'Brien was released on parole in 2002 but was sent back to jail in 2007 after abusing two young sisters he was babysitting.

 

O'Brien, who had again befriended the mother of the girls, abused the sisters several times and on one occasion penetrated the eight-year-old. He also recorded and photographed the victims.

 

At the time of his arrest, police found more than 7000 images and video files of young children being abused as well as several short stories about child pornography in his computer.

 

He was sentenced to nine years and two months in jail but was released again in 2015 under a strict supervision order subject to 45 stringent conditions, including the prohibition to collect, in electronic or permanent form, images of children.

 

Shortly after being released, O'Brien breached his supervision order by going to the home of a sex worker to access her services.

 

He breached the order again a year later when he was found with several non-sexual images of children cut from magazines and newspapers stored along with his adult pornography.

 

O'Brien pleaded guilty of the offences at Busselton Magistrates Court in December 2016 and was sentenced to nine months imprisonment, suspended for two years.

 

While he hadn't committed any further offences since 2016, psychological reports showed O'Brien continued to have an "entrenched and ongoing sexually deviant interest in young girls".

 

Dr Gosia Wojnarowska, who diagnosed O'Brien with paedophilia in 2016, said the 68-year-old's behaviour could escalate once he felt "secure in his ability to deceive".

 

Dr Wojnarowska's findings were echoed in a report by psychologist Sarah Ballantyne in March 2019, which found O'Brien had a tendency to "test boundaries" and showed "resistance or rejection" to supervision.

 

She said O'Brien failed to take responsibility for his behaviour, and continued to fantasise about young women despite denying he had an interest in prepubescent girls.

 

"Though some improvement has been reported … he has failed to engage meaningfully with offence and risk-specific attempts to discuss his sexual functioning, interests and strategies for managing or appropriately meeting those needs," she said.

 

Both Dr Wojnarowska and Ms Ballantyne found O'Brien was a serious danger to the community and needed to remain under supervision.

 

The 68-year-old will undergo an examination by psychiatrist Dr Wojnarowska and psychologist Jule Hasson before facing the WA Supreme Court in June 3, when a decision will be made about extending his supervision order.

 

It is anticipated that O'Brien, who lives in Busselton, will move to Pinjarra to live with family.

Sir Ron Brierley expected to plead not guilty to child abuse charges

 

Millionaire businessman and former corporate raider Sir Ron Brierley is expected to plead not guilty to charges of possessing hundreds of thousands of child abuse images and videos and "typed stories" about "the rape of children".

 

Sir Ron appeared at the Downing Centre Local Court on Monday using a cane for his first court appearance, less than two months after he was arrested at Sydney International Airport.

 

The 82-year-old was detained by Australian Border Force officials while attempting to board an early morning flight from Sydney to Fiji in December. Detectives seized his carry-on bags, laptop and electronic storage units and allegedly discovered more than 200,000 images and 512 videos.

 

He was subsequently charged with six counts of possessing child exploitation material.

 

The charges against Sir Ron include possessing images and videos of "young girls aged between approximately two and 15 years of age in sexually suggestive poses", court documents state.

 

Two of the charges relate to the alleged possession of documents, "being typed stories that spoke of the rape of children".

 

On Monday Sir Ron's defence lawyer Penny Musgrave told the court her client was intending to plead not guilty to the charges against him, however she said a plea was yet to be formally entered.

 

The matter returns to court on April 2, when Sir Ron has been excused from attending.

 

The investigation into the recently retired corporate titan was prompted by an anonymous tip to NSW Police in August last year. His airport arrest four months later came after a travel alert was issued by police. He has since been on strict conditional bail that requires him to live at his Point Piper mansion.

 

Sir Ron made his reputation in Australia and his native New Zealand by targeting poorly run and undervalued companies. He was worth nearly $200 million in the late 1980s and was widely considered one of the most admired and feared corporate raiders operating in Australia.

 

Born and raised in Wellington, Sir Ron had already made his mark in New Zealand business circles when he emigrated to Australia in the 1980s. By 1988 he had been knighted for his "services to business management and the community".

 

In December 2015, Sir Ron, through his new company, Mercantile Investment, launched a hostile takeover of Australian shipping company Richfield International. Late last year, he spearheaded a bid, through Mercantile, for Mark Bouris' wealth management company Yellow Brick Road. Mr Bouris rejected the bid as "grossly inadequate".

 

Sir Ron stepped down from Mercantile in June, citing "age and ill health".

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - Federation Chamber - PRIVATE MEMBERS' BUSINESS

 

Leifer, Ms Malka - SPEECH - Monday, 10 February 2020

 

Speaker Sharma, Dave, MP

 

Mr SHARMA (Wentworth) (18:46): I move:

 

(1) notes that Malka Leifer, the former Principal of the Adass Israel Girls School in Melbourne, fled Australia in 2008 as child sexual abuse allegations against her surfaced;

 

(2) reaffirms the formal extradition request that was filed by Australia in 2014 requesting she be returned to Victoria to face 74 charges of child sexual abuse;

 

(3) acknowledges the bravery of Ms Leifer's alleged victims - especially Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper for their tireless pursuit of justice;

 

(4) further notes that over five years have elapsed, and over 60 court hearings have been held in Israel, since this extradition request was first lodged, without any significant progress having been made;

 

(5) expresses regret and concern at the numerous attempts to prevent and delay Malka Leifer facing justice in Australia; and

 

(6) calls for the immediate extradition of Malka Leifer to Australia to face 74 charges of child sexual abuse.

 

I wish to address the House today about an important issue of justice. Ms Malka Leifer, who was principal of the Adass Israel School in Elsternwick, Melbourne, bolted from Australia in 2008, two days after she was sacked by the school board amid allegations surrounding inappropriate relationships with some of the pupils at the school.

 

In 2013, 74 charges of sexual assault were filed against Ms Leifer in connection with her time at Adass school. In 2014, Australia made a formal request for the extradition of Ms Leifer in order to face these 74 charges. In the same year, in August 2014, this extradition request was filed in the Jerusalem district court. I recall this well. I was living in Israel at the time, representing Australia as our ambassador. I distinctly recall receiving and formally conveying our extradition request. I expected it would be a straightforward case, that the wheels of justice would turn and that, within the space of 12 to 18 months, we would see Ms Leifer extradited to Australia in order to face justice for these most grave and serious charges levelled against her.

 

But I regret to report that in the five years that have elapsed since the extradition request was first made the wheels of justice have stalled. There have now been upwards of 60 court hearings in this case and yet only now are we just beginning, painfully slowly, to see the wheels of justice break free from their shackles and ever so perceptibly begin gradually to turn. The actual petition for extradition has in fact never been argued before the courts in Israel because, prior to each hearing, Ms Leifer would claim to be experiencing a psychiatric episode and fail to appear before the court. This behaviour is not only an affront to justice; it is deeply traumatic for the victims of this abuse, it is damaging to Israel's reputation and it is increasingly becoming a point of contention and friction in our otherwise positive and productive relationship with Israel.

 

…..

 

Members of the House would be aware that, in a further twist in this case, the Israeli police have recommended the indictment of the Health Minister, Yaakov Litzman, in Israel for allegedly pressuring the officials in his office to prevent the extradition. This is an exceptionally serious allegation. If true, this would be a gross interference in the course of justice. I hope and, indeed, I expect that it will be fulsomely and fearlessly investigated.

 

In December last year, the member for Macnamara, Josh Burns, and I met with Dassi Erlich and Nicole Meyer, two victims of Malka Leifer's abuse who came to personally lobby for fast-tracked extradition. The passion and determination that Dassi and Nicole and others have shown in continuing to fight for justice in this case is inspiring. Nicole said of her motivations:

 

We're trying to send a message to all survivors that even if you have been abused life can go on, justice can be served, and we want to stand strong on behalf of all others, not just ourselves.

The revelation that a tip-off from Alexander Downer triggered the FBI probe into Russian meddling in the Trump campaign put the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangement at risk, Joe Hockey has revealed.

 

The recently departed US ambassador stressed the importance of American intelligence to Canberra, warning the FBI and CIA were under "profound attack" over the former Australian foreign minister's tip-off to US authorities and "it could have gone really badly for us".

 

A move to downgrade the information-sharing arrangement would have been a significant blow to Australia, with US intelligence instrumental in stopping nine out of the past 13 foiled terror plots in the country.

 

The explosive revelations come amid uncertainty over what Britain's decision to allow Huawei into its 5G network means for the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangement.

 

As Australia's ambassador to the US, Mr Hockey was key in calming tensions within the Trump administration when Mr Downer's unwitting role in sparking the FBI probe came to light in late 2017.

 

Mr Hockey, who was known to be close to US President Donald Trump, said the importance of the Five Eyes partnership could not be understated.

 

"I can't tell you how important the Five Eyes partnership is for us. US intelligence has been instrumental in thwarting nine of the 13 disrupted terrorist attacks in Australia," he said.

 

"Our role in Five Eyes is more valuable than ever because of the increasing importance of the Indo-Pacific. We are not under threat in Five Eyes, but we could have been."

 

Asked how Australia's role in the intelligence sharing alliance could have been under threat in the past, Mr Hockey said: "Australia was under pressure on Five Eyes because of the whole Downer issue."

 

"The FBI and CIA were under profound attack and the Downer issue could have gone really badly for us… I don't want to say anything more about that."

 

Mr Downer famously met with Trump campaign staffer George Papadopoulos at a London wine bar in 2016, where he was told the Russians had a dirt file on rival candidate Hillary Clinton in the form of hacked Democratic Party emails. He later relayed the information to Canberra via a diplomatic cable and then to the Chargé d’Affaires of the US embassy in London.

 

In a break with diplomatic protocol, Australia allowed the FBI to conduct a highly sensitive interview with the then-UK High Commissioner in London just hours after the probe opened in August, 2016, just as the US election was heating up.

 

Mr Trump was said to be infuriated by the Downer revelations, asking his Attorney-General William Barr to investigate how the Russia probe started and telling reporters "I hope he looks at Australia".

 

A report by US Inspector General Michael Horowitz later concluded that Downer's intervention was pivotal in the FBI's decision to launch "Operation Crossfire Hurricane", but did not include any criticism of his or the Australian government's actions.

 

John Blaxland, professor of international security and intelligence studies at the Australian National University, said revelations that US intelligence had been so integral to thwarting terror plots in Australia underscored the importance of the information sharing arrangement between the two countries.

 

“The current dynamics have undoubtedly generated unease and concern, and a desire to double down on ensuring the United States recognises what they’re doing for us," he said.

 

“Most people don’t appreciate the depth, breadth and intimacy of those ties – how much it is an arrangement of mutual benefit."

 

Australia, the US, Britain, Canada and New Zealand are members of the "Five Eyes" alliance that shares highly sensitive intelligence with each other.

New George Papadopoulos Tweets

 

(1/2) When you have an Australian diplomat, Alexander Downer, and his intermediaries meet with an advisor to two Presidential campaigns (Carson/Trump) between 2015-2016, record a conversation, and ask bizarre open ended questions about my personal business and public info on…

(2/2) Clinton and Russia after you have been summoned to spy on this advisor for the sole purpose to try and sabotage a rival presidential campaign with fake info, and then lie to the President, you can understand why Australia’s feet are to the fire now.

The Australian government was mocking candidate Trump to my face and spying on his team, the U.K. prime minister was the only leader who called him “stupid and wrong” and is also neck deep in the Halper crisis, Durham is probing both countries. The findings will change history.

Struggling Biden touts experience, vows to rebuild Australia alliance

 

Manchester, New Hampshire | Former vice-president Joe Biden has rejected Donald Trump's aggressive transactional approach to geopolitics and vowed to restore America's alliances, including with Australia and others in the Asia-Pacific region.

 

As he battles for his political life against a upstart Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders - the independent senator who enters the final leg of the New Hampshire primary in the lead - Mr Biden touted his foreign relations experience, his biggest natural advantage over the rest of the Democrat field.

 

"The next president will inherit a world in disarray on day one," Mr Biden told a crowd of supporters in Hudson late on Sunday (Monday AEDT). "There will be no time for on-the-job training . . . . it's not like any other time in modern history."

 

Australia scored a rare mention in what has otherwise been a primary campaign season almost exclusively focussed on domestic issues, as Mr Biden name-checked it as one of his alliance priorities in office.

 

"The day he or she stands behind the podium, or behind that desk . . . . world leaders will have to know who that person is and understand him or her, and he has to demonstrate he knows them," Mr Biden said.

 

"I would be back on the phone to [Japanese prime minister Shinzo] Abe . . . I would be putting back the alliance between South Korea and Japan and Australia, because we need to.

 

"These are things I have done my whole career.

 

"And it is not because we are looking to go to war; we are looking to avoid going to war," he said.

 

Mr Biden's emphasis on his foreign policy credentials contrasts with most of his leading rivals, who have focused their campaigns on issues such as Medicare for all, gun control and grander pledges such as a "Green New Deal" on climate change and fee-free university education.

 

If he falters in coming weeks as the Democratic nomination heats up, the lack of foreign policy experience among many of the other candidates underscores the degree to which this year's election will affect Australia and other US allies, some of which are questioning Washington's resolve on key geopolitical issues.

 

"Biden is seeking to demonstrate to the region that the United States under his administration would be back in the multilateral security business," said Patrick Buchan, director of the US alliance project at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

 

"It's about seeking to signal to allies that the US sees its security best locked in through the alliance structure."

 

Mr Buchan said the former vice-president was also trying to differentiate himself from President Donald Trump in that he wants the help of "South Korea and Japan, in addition to the third key ally, Australia, in managing China", Mr Buchan said.

 

While Mr Biden's support for a return to strong US support for multilateral arrangements such as NATO would be welcomed in many western capitals, it's not clear it's the kind of message that will resonate with voters in New Hampshire. Nor would it win a presidential race against Mr Trump, whose aggressive "America first" stance is at the core of this political base.

 

A flurry of last-minute polls on Sunday showed Mr Biden struggling to break into the top three candidates in the state, the first in the nation to hold a primary. As in Iowa last week, Mr Biden is expected to come in fourth, with 12.7 per cent of the vote, according to polling tracker FiveThirtyEight.

 

Ahead of him are Senator Elizabeth Warren (13.1 per cent), the Iowa winner Mr Buttigieg (20.9 per cent) and Senator Sanders (25.8 per cent).

 

Analysts have warned that another weak result in New Hampshire by Mr Biden could be the death of his 2020 campaign, which is his third attempt at the White House since 1988.

'Every parent's worst nightmare': Child rapist to die behind bars after horrific Sydney dance studio attack

 

Sydney man Anthony Sampieri, who bound and raped a seven-year-old girl inside a Kogarah dance studio, will die behind bars.

 

Today Sampieri was sentenced to life in prison for the horrific attack on a young girl in public toilets in November 2018.

 

The 56-year-old pleaded guilty to 10 charges related to the attack including three counts of sexual intercourse with a child under 10.

 

In sentencing, Judge Paul Conlon in the Downing Centre District Court described the crime as "sexual abuse of the most horrifying and degrading kind".

 

WARNING: Some readers may find the content below distressing

 

He said what happened to the girl was "every parent's worst nightmare".

 

Judge Conlon detailed how Sampieri – who was on parole at the time of the attack - raped, punched and bound the girl in the toilets after consuming the drug ice.

 

Sampieri tied a cord around the seven-year-old girl's neck and hands and threatened the victim with a knife during the abuse.

 

There is a four minute and 43 second recording of the 56-year-old sexually abusing the young girl. The court heard Sampieri stopped filming because he "felt guilty".

 

"Using crystal meth, I believe that led me to what I did," Sampieri told a sentence hearing last week.

 

The victim suffered a number of injuries including bruising and swelling on the cheek, a cut on the inside of her left cheek, and bruising to her neck, arms, and body.

 

The court heard the attack lasted about 45 to 50 minutes.

 

"One can only imagine the confused and heightened state of fear she would have been in," Judge Conlon said.

 

Sampieri later told a psychiatrist that he could not recall many details from the attack.

 

Judge Conlon noted that the child will be subject to lifelong "emotional scarring", and will be traumatised when entering public toilets, and maybe even the bathroom in her own home.

 

The court also heard how witness Nick Gilio intervened and was slashed across the back of the head from ear-to-ear by Sampieri. Mr Gilio found the girl in the toilet cubicle.

 

He had 12 stitches in his head and six for a cut on his abdomen. He is still recovering physically and has deep psychological scars from the incident.

 

The court hear Mr Gilio suffers from sleeplessness, flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive thoughts. In a victim impact statement, he said he had lost enjoyment in his life, and lost his sense of optimism.

 

"The victim, her family everyone at the dance school and indeed the whole community are indebted to you for the courage you displayed in the face of someone wielding a knife," Judge Conlon said.

 

Outside court, Mr Gilio gave a touching tribute to "our little dancer", who he said was the victim of a "heinous and despicable crime".

 

He stood alongside dentist Jeffrey Stack, who knocked Sampieri out before police arrived.

 

"Today is your day for justice, your day towards light and healing," Mr Gilio said through tears.

 

"My wish for you is that you grow to be a healthy, confident, strong, grounded young woman, who is caring and compassionate towards others, respectful and honourable towards others.

 

"And to not let this scar you, do not let this evil break who you are.

 

"There is no day that goes by that I don't think of you, you are there for eternity. And although I will not be there in presence, I will always send my love to you in spirit.

 

"You are now forever locked in my heart, you are my hero and you always will be.

 

"And if we are to cross paths again please know that it is only yesterday that I thought of you."

 

Previously Sampieri also admitted to charges related to sexually explicit and harassing phone calls he made to women in the months before the Kogarah attack.

 

In the lead-up to a rape in Wollongong, he had made a string of offensive phone calls for sexual gratification, giving him a feeling of power and control.

Parents in the dark as child predators evolve, online exploitation soars

 

Online child exploitation has soared from 1000 Australian cases to 17,000 in a decade, with federal police warning parents that they are being left behind while predators evolve their methods and target new platforms.

 

Investigators are finding sex offenders infiltrating new spaces such as online gaming to trade messages with children under the guise of being another like-minded enthusiast.

 

Others are turning to parents themselves, tricking them and their children with promises of fashion competitions or pretending to come recommended by friends.

 

Australian Federal Police child safety manager Marina Simoncini said there was also a trend for predators to use a scatter-gun approach to target hundreds of children at any given time "and see who bites", dispelling perceptions that offenders carefully identified victims and spent months or years to groom them.

 

In one particularly notable case, a Melbourne man created more than 80 female social media profiles and bombarded children until he had duped more than 30 unwitting victims and acquired more than 500,000 items of child abuse material. The man was caught, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12 years in jail early last year.

 

The demographic of offenders was also widening, Ms Simoncini said. While most were older men, increasing numbers of women and people between the ages of 18 and 24 were among those busted by investigators.

 

Australian victims or offenders were the subject of more than 17,000 individual reports in 2019 ranging from online grooming to transmitting or receiving explicit images, according to new data released by the federal police. Ms Simoncini said this was up from about 1000 cases in 2009.

 

Once a surprising outlier, many of these cases now included babies, while some forums, particularly in south-east Asia, advertised children "almost like basketball cards".

 

Results from a survey by the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation, released on Thursday as part of this year's launch of the ThinkUKnow child safety program, show many parents are still unaware of online risks to their children.

 

Of more than 3000 people surveyed, only 3 per cent listed online grooming as a concern, while only half made the effort to discuss online safety with their children.

 

This is despite the rapid uptake of internet use by increasingly young children, with the survey showing four out of five four-year-olds had access to the internet. One-third of these children had access to their own device such as a phone or tablet.

 

Ms Simoncini said the research also showed the issue of online child sexual exploitation remained stigmatised, with 21 per cent of parents or carers feeling online child sexual exploitation is too “repulsive” or “sickening” to think about.

 

She said results from the survey, the first of its kind in Australia, were not surprising, but it was nonetheless alarming to see their suspicions confirmed in research.

 

She said parents did not need to take away their children's online world, but should apply a "level of supervision".

 

"A lot of parents came back and said they were worried about interfering in the privacy of their children and we completely understand that," she said.

 

"It's more about equipping children with the tools and understanding that there are people out there who will engage with them, that they aren't who they say they are all the time, and just to be very cautious of getting unsolicited messages from a person you don't know."

 

Ms Simoncini said the survey results would help federal police shape current and future child safety programs.

Federal MPs plea: Extradite Leifer

 

FEDERAL members of Parliament united across the political divide this week calling for the “immediate extradition” of former Melbourne principal Malka Leifer from Israel.

 

The motion, introduced by Liberal Wentworth MP Dave Sharma and seconded by Labor Member for Macnamara Josh Burns, noted that “over five years have elapsed, and over 60 court hearings have been held in Israel, since the extradition request was first lodged, without any significant progress having been made”.

 

Leifer faces 74 charges relating to child sexual abuse in Victoria.

 

Recalling that Leifer has been found to feign mental illness to avoid extradition proceedings, Sharma charged, “This behaviour is not only an affront to justice; it is deeply traumatic for the victims of this abuse.

 

“It is damaging to Israel’s reputation and it is increasingly becoming a point of contention and friction in our otherwise positive and productive relationship with Israel,” he continued, also referring to allegations that Israel’s Health Minister, Yaakov Litzman, had pressured officials in his office to prevent the extradition.

 

“I do not doubt the independence and the integrity of the Israeli legal system; nor do I doubt the commitment of the Israeli justice ministry in pursuing this case, but, quite simply: enough is enough.”

Echoing Sharma’s sentiments, Burns referred to the recent open letter penned by Zionist Federation of Australia president Jeremy Leibler to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which reminded, “Friendship must go both ways.”

 

“And right now our friends are not doing right by us,” said Burns.

 

The motion also acknowledged the bravery of Leifer’s alleged victims, including sisters Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper, “for their tireless pursuit of justice”.

 

Burns reflected, “It has been nine long years since the first brave victim, Dassi Erlich, gave her statement to Victoria Police … It has been four long years since Dassi Erlich began her public campaign to bring Leifer back, joining forces with her sisters, Nicole and Elly, to tell their story.

 

“Make no mistake: if justice is allowed to run its course, it will be because of the inspiring pursuit by three brave women.”

 

Liberal Member for Higgins, Dr Katie Allen; and Jewish MPs, Labor Member for Macarthur, Dr Mike Freelander; Liberal Member for Berowra, Julian Leeser; and Labor Member for Isaacs, Mark Dreyfus all subsequently rose to voice their support of the motion while honouring the courage shown by Erlich and her sisters.

 

Erlich told The AJN she felt very emotional and “in awe” of the stand taken in such a forum, as she listened at home to the debate.

 

“They spoke about this for close to 45 minutes, in support of us, in support of all the victims of sexual abuse, and really made such a stand for it. It was just so, so validating to be heard,” she said.

 

“During the motion, I was just looking at my daughter, and realising, it has been a lot of hard work to get to this space. Much of that has been wanting a better world for her and this plays a really big part in that hope.”

 

Following the motion, Israel’s ambassador to Australia Mark Sofer said, “While Israeli law courts are independent, there are very many in Israel, including among the authorities, in whose eyes the case has gone on for far too long.”

 

He added, “The entire issue causes so many of us, too, deep anguish. I dearly hope that it will soon come to an end and that justice will finally be served.”

 

Leifer’s lawyers are due to cross-examine the latest psychiatric panel that has found her fit to face extradition proceedings later this month.

Australian MP Announces Visit to Belmarsh Prison Amid Rising Calls for Julian Assange to Be Freed

 

Pressure on Australian politicians to speak out in the case of Julian Assange continues to build following the surprise intervention by ex-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd who called the US prosecution against the WikiLeaks publisher "unacceptable" and "disproportionate".

 

Australian MP Andrew Wilkie announced that he intends to visit WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange in Belmarsh prison and “lobby for his release” in the coming days. The visit will be paid for by the MP himself and is scheduled to happen the weekend of 15/16 February 2020, according to a video released via social media on 11 February.

 

“The purpose of my visit is to check on Julian’s health and welfare, to see first hand the circumstances of his incarceration, and to reassure Julian that although he doesn’t have the support of the Australian government, he certainly does have the support of a great many people right around the world, especially in Australia”, Willkie says in the video.

 

Wilkie, a member of the Australian House of Representatives for Clark, Tasmania, says that the “substantive matter” regarding Assange’s case is that he “reported on and published information in the public interest, and in particular evidence of US war crimes”.

 

The lawmaker, who served as an infantry officer for over 20 years, and later worked as an intelligence analyst with Australia's Office of National Assessments (ONA), resigned from his position with the ONA in 2003, over the Australian government’s support for the US-led war on Iraq.

 

On the same evening as Wilkie’s announcement Australian senator Peter Wish-Wilson called on his government to “intervene to bring Julian home” on the basis that “journalism is not a crime”, during a parliamentary session.

 

The statements by both MPs represents the latest voices from Australian politicians to speak out on Assange’s case. In November 2019 Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd called the prosecution of Assange “unacceptable” and “disproportionate”.

 

The publisher, editor and journalist, who recently won the Garry Web Freedom of the Press Award, faces up to 175 years in prison in the US. The charges all relate to his role in the publication of documents revealing alleged war crimes committed by the US military.

George Pell High Court appeal hearing date set for March

 

The High Court has set a date to hear Cardinal George Pell's appeal against his convictions for abusing two choirboys in 1996 while he was Catholic archbishop of Melbourne.

 

The case will be heard on March 11 and 12 in Canberra.

 

Pell, 78, was convicted on five charges — one count of sexual penetration of a child under the age of 16 and four counts of committing an indecent act with, or in the presence of a child.

 

In March last year he was sentenced to six years' jail, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months.

 

In August, two of three judges from Victoria's Court of Appeal turned down Pell's primary ground of appeal, that the jury's verdict was unreasonable.

 

The judges unanimously dismissed two other grounds of appeal which argued that there were errors in the way the trial was run.

 

The High Court case will be Pell's final chance to seek to have his convictions overturned.

 

His offending took place in the sacristy at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne, in what the sentencing judge described as a "brazen and forcible sexual attack on the victims".

 

Pell was the archbishop of Melbourne in the 1990s and eventually rose to the powerful position of Prefect for the Secretariat for the Economy, a position which essentially made him the Vatican treasurer.

Convicted pedophile, Robert Hughes, the star of Australia's longest running sitcom "Hey Dad", is seeking parole after serving 6 years of his 10 year sentence for sexual assault of young girls.

 

Hughes' wife, Robin Gardiner, who knew of his behaviour as far back as 1996, ran a talent management agency in Australia that represented many internationally famous actors -

 

"His wife, the acclaimed actor agent Robyn Gardiner, represented the cream of the A-list stars like Cate Blanchett, Anthony LaPaglia and Rose Byrne who were not just clients but friends."

 

Now it looks like the MSM are trying to play they sympathy card for him. It won't work. Aussies will not forgive this scumbag. These people are sick.

Parliamentary trip to UK cancelled after High Commissioner pens angry letter over Huawei leak

 

London: A planned visit to the UK by the Australian Parliament's powerful intelligence and security committee has been abruptly cancelled amid a diplomatic row over Boris Johnson's controversial decision to allow Chinese telco Huawei into its 5G network.

 

The committee was supposed to travel to Britain in late March and spend the first week of April meeting the House of Commons intelligence committee, Britain's security agencies and other high-level national security figures, as part of the countries' mutual links and membership of the elite Five Eyes spying club.

 

But The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age can reveal the trip has been suddenly cancelled.

 

It comes after the ABC revealed that the UK High Commissioner Victoria Treadell, a civil servant, penned an angry letter to two of Australia's most prominent MPs working in the national security space, demanding an explanation over an explosive leak revealed last week by the Herald and The Age that embarrassed the British.

 

While the leak caused upset in London, the disagreement had largely died down until Thursday, a week after the exchange took place, when Ms Treadall sent a stern letter to Liberal MP Andrew Hastie, who chairs the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, and Liberal senator David Fawcett, who chairs the Foreign Affairs committee.

 

Two sources familiar with the contents of her letter said it was the equivalent of a "dressing down" and that it was unprecedented for a UK civil servant to berate elected MPs in this way, particularly given the two men have served in the military.

 

Mr Hastie was an officer in the elite SAS for five years and served on the frontline in Afghanistan, while Senator Fawcett was an experimental test pilot.

 

Last week the Herald and The Age revealed the committee's deputy chair and veteran Labor MP Anthony Byrne rebuked the UK's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab during a face-to-meeting in Canberra. Mr Byrne told the British Secretary of State that letting China build Britain's critical national infrastructure was tantamount to allowing the Russians to construct it.

 

The confrontation underlined the deep tensions within the Five Eyes allies over Britain's green light for Huawei in defiance of Australia and the US' urgings to copy their bans on the Chinese vendor over fears of spying.

 

US President Donald Trump was reportedly "apoplectic" about Mr Johnson's decision on Huawei, while Mr Byrne's intervention was widely regarded as a reflection of Australia's position - something confirmed this week by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton in Question Time, who endorsed and praised the Labor MP.

 

"I don't think there's much that the member for Holt would say that anybody could argue against when it comes to these matters," Mr Dutton said.

 

"You [Mr Hastie and Mr Byrne] should both be commended for the leadership you provide [of the security and intelligence committee]."

 

The dispute over Huawei has also caused a serious rift between Mr Johnson and Mr Trump, with British tabloid The Sun reporting Mr Johnson had postponed a planned trip to the US.

 

Australia first banned Huawei from supplying equipment to the nascent National Broadband Network in 2012 under Julia Gillard, and in 2018, then prime minister Malcolm Turnbull banned the company from taking part in the 5G rollout, on security advice.

Intelligence committee cancels UK visit amid diplomatic tensions over Huawei policy leak

 

Diplomatic tensions over Britain's decision to allow Chinese telco Huawei into its 5G network have boiled over after confidential discussions with Australia about the policy were leaked.

 

The ABC can reveal the UK's High Commissioner has taken the rare step of writing to the heads of two federal parliamentary committees to formally protest the leak of details of sensitive talks involving Britain's visiting Foreign Secretary.

 

One of those committees — Parliament's powerful intelligence and security committee — has now cancelled a planned visit to the United Kingdom amid the quickly escalating dispute between the allies.

 

MPs and senators were due to meet with Britain's security agencies and the UK Parliament's intelligence committee in March and April.

Malaysian nationals detained in Perth, facing deportation, for allegedly exploiting foreign workers in sex and agricultural industries

 

Three Malaysian nationals have been detained in Perth and face deportation after allegedly exploiting foreign workers in the sex and agricultural industries.

 

Australian Border Force officers went to a home in Balga on February 13 to arrest a 25-year-old woman suspected of being ‘a key player’ in a syndicate making ‘significant profits through the exploitation of foreign women in the sex industry’.

 

Officers said they found approximately 500 phone SIM cards during the search.

 

The SIMS are suspected of being used to facilitate the buying and selling of sexual services in locations across Australia.

 

The woman’s partner, a 26-year-old man, was also detained and placed in immigration detention.

 

Both face being removed from Australia.

 

As part of a separate investigation, Australian Border Force Field Operations officers executed a warrant on a Belmont house on February 12 targeting a 43-year-old man suspected of money laundering related to the exploitation of foreign nationals in the agriculture industry.

 

His alleged crimes are specifically related to market gardens.

 

He was placed in immigration detention pending his removal from Australia.

 

None of the three had a valid Australian visa.

 

Acting ABF Commander of Field Operations, Sally McAuliffe, said the Australian Border Force would “continue to target criminal syndicates and unscrupulous individuals exploiting vulnerable foreign workers.”

 

“The individuals we are targeting in this operation are not those that are being exploited but those non-citizens that are facilitating illegal work and migration fraud,” she said.

 

“We encourage individuals who are being exploited, regardless of visa status, to come forward and provide the ABF with information so we can identify and take action against those involved in these practices.”

 

Visa holders who do not comply with their conditions due to workplace exploitation will generally not have their visa cancelled, be detained or removed if they come forward and assist with inquiries.

 

Anyone who is aware of an individual, business or employer who might be facilitating visa fraud or illegal work is urged to contact Border Watch at australia.gov.au/borderwatch

Judge takes rare step to help serve elusive Ghislaine Maxwell with lawsuit

 

Jeffrey Epstein crony Ghislaine Maxwell is so impossible to find that a Manhattan judge has taken the rare step of allowing her to be served with a new lawsuit — by email, according to a federal court filing Friday.

 

Lawyers for Epstein sex-assault-accuser Annie Farmer had griped to federal Judge Debra Freeman that they’ve been trying to find the disgraced British socialite to serve her with the complaint, filed in November, but that she’s done such a good job of hiding that they haven’t been able to get to her, court documents show.

 

“Plaintiff has attempted to locate and personally serve Maxwell to no avail. Her counsel has conducted extensive public records searches and located various addresses for Maxwell,” Farmer’s lawyers wrote in a Jan. 27 motion imploring Freeman to allow them to serve Maxwell using “alternate” means.

 

On Wednesday, Freeman granted the motion, acknowledging that Farmer has “adequately demonstrated that personal service would be impracticable” and ordered Maxwell to be served by email and through her lawyers representing her in a lawsuit involving another key Epstein accuser, Virginia Giuffre.

 

Farmer’s lawyers promptly emailed a copy of the summons and complaint to Maxwell’s email, as well as to the attorneys representing her in the Giuffre case.

 

“Ms. Maxwell, Please see the below text order granting our motion to approve alternate service on you in Farmer v. Indyke,” reads the email, which was filed to the court as evidence.

 

If Maxwell’s camp doesn’t respond to the suit by March 6, a default judgment will be placed against her, Freeman ruled.

 

Farmer’s lawyers have said they know she’s out there because she’s been “actively participating” in the defamation suit involving Giuffre, which was filed against her in the same court, and is “vigorously fighting” the release of documents in that case, the records state.

 

Farmer’s lawyers told The Post that they are elated to finally serve the elusive alleged abuser.

 

“We just don’t think she should be able to dodge the law,” said one of the lawyers, who asked not to be named.

 

Farmer’s suit alleges she met Maxwell and Epstein through her older sister, Maria, who’d been hired by the billionaire to purchase art for him.

 

Epstein began taking an interest in Annie when she was around 16 and eventually invited her to his remote New Mexico ranch, where Maxwell pressured her to get naked and then “touched intimate parts” of Farmer’s body and “groped her” under the guise of a massage, court documents allege.

 

Maria was also allegedly abused later on by both Epstein and Maxwell, but she is not named as a plaintiff in this suit.

 

Epstein died in federal lock-up in August.

 

Maxwell is facing at least one other civil suit in federal court in Manhattan, where her buddy Epstein had an Upper East Side townhome.

 

Her lawyers could not be immediately reached for comment.

 

Farmer is seeking undisclosed damages.

US praises Labor MP Anthony Byrne’s Huawei stance

 

US intelligence officials have contacted Labor MP Anthony Byrne and praised him for taking a stand against Britain’s decision to allow Huawei to take part in its 5G network.

 

Members of the parliamentary joint committee on intelligence and security said US officials had reached out to the committee’s co-chair after reports in Nine Newspapers took aim at Boris Johnson’s government.

 

Sources told The Australian PJCIS members had been contacted by foreign officials, including the US, to back Mr Byrne’s reported comments.

 

Mr Byrne criticised Britain’s decision in a meeting with the committee’s co-chair, Andrew Hastie, and British High Commissioner Vicki Treadell.

 

Ms Treadell later complained to the MPs in writing that the contents of the meetings had been leaked.

 

The committee is considering visiting the US after cancelling plans to meet MPs in Britain.

 

Mr Byrne declined to answer questions about conversations with US intelligence officials, saying only “our closest ally is the US”.

 

Mr Hastie said: “The US has been our most important strategic ally since the fall of Singapore in 1942.

 

“We value that special relationship above all else.”

 

Members of the PJCIS committee played down the link between the Huawei decision and next month’s cancelled trip to London.

 

Some committee MPs said the trip was cancelled because the relevant British committee did not have time to be constituted since Mr Johnson’s thumping election victory.

 

Another source said: “If that is what people want to believe, all the best. It’s horseshit. If people genuinely believe that, then they should wait for Father Christmas next year to turn up with their Christmas presents.”

 

Britain’s decision to engage Huawei was announced last month in defiance of advice from Five Eyes intelligence partners Australia and the US.

Catholic Church creates one-stop shop for victims of modern slavery

 

Filipino community leader Roberto Lastica from St Joachim Catholic Church in Lidcombe has seen many cases of modern slavery across the country. Among them was a woman from the Philippines in her early 30s who arrived in Australia after responding to an advertisement for student nurses.

 

When she boarded her flight she discovered her visa described her as an architect instead of a nurse. Her recruiter told her the visa description would be corrected in Australia.

 

When she got here she was told she would be living in a Chinese restaurant, where she would also be working in exchange for food and accommodation, rather than wages.

 

Under a new Catholic Church initiative, victims of forced labour and modern slavery will be given access to free legal advice, housing assistance, health care, financial advice and welfare support.

 

The Archbishop of Sydney, Anthony Fisher, said the national network would be linked to 45 Catholic schools, universities, dioceses, health and aged care services, social services and finance and investment services.

 

The network, named Domus 8.7, will target victims of modern slavery and those trapped in forced labour, debt bondage, forced marriage or human trafficking.

 

"This service enables entities to have a safe, confidential conversation about situations of modern slavery and forced labour," Archbishop Fisher said.

 

"Domus 8.7 fills a gap in providing readily available support from a formal perspective, emergency assistance and addressing other needs for people trapped in modern slavery or facing exploitation in the workforce."

 

The name of the service is a reference to the Latin word "domus", meaning home, and the United Nations Target 8.7 sustainable development goal.

 

Mr Lastica said the new service would be a "breath of fresh air".

 

Mr Lastica has also helped Filipinos who worked on farms after entering Australia via Fiji or New Zealand.

 

"We try to give these people community support while seeking justice for them. Many are embarrassed to return home because of debts they have to pay," he said.

 

"Domus is a breath of fresh air. It promises to help people with accommodation and litigation services."

 

The Chair of the Archdiocese of Sydney’s Anti-Slavery Taskforce, John McCarthy, QC, Australia’s former ambassador to the Vatican, said the new centre would act as a central hub for advice and support for people trapped in slavery-like conditions.

 

"Australia currently has no mention of victim or survivor assistance in our modern slavery laws and instead victim assistance, such as immunity and witness protection, are based on whether victims speak with the police," he said.

 

"The new centre fills a real gap here in providing that confidential, easily available support to help meet the basic needs of those entrapped in modern slavery, such as providing them with warm clothing, addressing workplace problems and visa problems and concerns."

General Motors cans Holden in Australia

 

The Holden brand will be retired from sales in Australia and New Zealand and local design and engineering operations will wind down by 2021, General Motors has revealed.

 

The company’s Commodore and Astra models were retired late last year amid waning sales.

 

Rich Australian history

 

The manufacturer says it is saddened to see the end of the vehicles’ 160-year history in Australia.

 

“Today’s announcement will be felt deeply by the many people who love Holdens, drive Holdens and feel connected to our company which has been with us for 160 years and is almost ubiquitous in our lives,” Managing Director Kristian Aquilina said.

Former Australian PM calls party colleagues' conduct over climate change "idiotic"

 

Malcolm Turnbull, a political conservative who served as Australia's prime minister up until August of 2018, was bounced out of office by the right-wing of his own party largely over his support for cutting carbon emissions.

 

"The right-wing climate deniers treat an issue of science and physics and fact as though it was a question of ideology. And their conduct is not just idiotic, it is downright dangerous."

 

That's what former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, a political conservative, told 60 Minutes correspondent Holly Williams in an interview that aired this week as part of a report on the fires ravaging Turnbull's country.

 

"Dangerous for us here in Australia and around the world," Turnbull said.

 

When Williams reminded Turnbull he was calling conduct by members of his own party dangerous and idiotic, Turnbull did not waver.

 

"Well, of course, it is dangerous and idiotic not to be taking the strongest action to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions," Turnbull said.

 

Fires in Australia have burned 27 million acres and killed 33 people and an estimated billion animals. Turnbull, who served as prime minister until August 2018, said he was warned while in office that fires in the country were getting worse because of climate change.

 

"Everyone has known this," Turnbull said. "We've been warned by the climate scientists. Everyone has been aware of this except for those who, well, the climate change deniers are aware of it, but they choose to deny reality."

 

Turnbull was forced out of office by the right-wing of his own party largely over his support of cutting carbon emissions. He was replaced by Scott Morrison, who has minimized climate change and been criticized for his response to the fires.

 

Morrison has prioritized protecting Australia's mining industry, coal is the country's second-largest export. And members of the current government argue it's not Australia's responsibility to act on climate change since the country only produces about 1% of global emissions.

 

"Isn't there some truth in that?" Williams asked Turnbull. "I mean, if, if the U.S. doesn't act, if China and India don't act to cut emissions, it doesn't matter very much what Australia does."

 

"Well, if we don't act, if we don't act, a wealthy advanced economy facing the harsh reality of climate change, if we don't act and show leadership, why would anyone else act?" Turnbull said.

Australian MPs say Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is 'a man under enormous pressure' following prison visit

 

Australian MPs Andrew Wilkie and George Christensen have raised concerns over Julian Assange's mental wellbeing after meeting with him in a British jail.

 

Mr Wilkie and Mr Christensen, who are both part of the Bring Assange Home parliamentary group, spent over an hour with the WikiLeaks founder at London's Belmarsh prison, where he is being held ahead of an US extradition hearing next week.

 

Assange has been held there since he was dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London last April and arrested for skipping bail.

 

Prior to that he had spent seven years inside the embassy after seeking asylum in 2012, and Mr Christensen said his lack of exposure to the outside world showed.

 

"It was kind of state you'd expect from a man who has been absolutely and utterly isolated and who doesn't know what has been going on," he said.

 

"It was clear to us that his mental state isn't good."

 

Mr Wilkie echoed Mr Christensen's assessment.

 

"I'm not a psychologist. but it was obvious that there's a man who's under enormous pressure," he said.

 

"Clearly his health and mental health has deteriorated during what is effectively years in captivity."

 

The 48-year-old is fighting extradition to the US, where he faces 18 charges including conspiring to hack government computers and violating an espionage law, and Mr Wilkie said if Assange is found guilty it would almost amount to a death sentence.

 

"If he is convicted of those charges he faces up to 175 years in a US federal prison," he said.

 

"It's a life sentence and it could be said to almost a death sentence."

 

Mr Christensen said he believes information that will come to light during the extradition hearing may change people's views on Assange and he called on the Australian government to do more to bring him home.

 

"I think that there's information that I now know that will be known next week that will probably make people sit up straight and worry about this a hell of a lot," he said.

 

"I think now is a time that the Government that I am a part of needs to be standing up and saying to both the UK and the US, 'Enough is enough, leave our bloke alone and let him come home'."

 

Yesterday, Mr Wilkie met with UK Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, who said he has sensed a shift in the UK's view on extradition in the light of another high-profile case involving the wife of a US diplomat.

 

Earlier on Tuesday, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson had said Assange's health was improving after he was taken out of solitary confinement.

 

"I saw him about 10 days ago," Mr Hrafnsson told a news conference ahead of an extradition hearing that starts next week.

 

"He has improved thanks to the pressure from his legal team, the general public, and amazingly, actually from other inmates in Belmarsh Prison, to get him out of isolation."

 

Assange's father, John Shipton, said his son's long confinement indoors had damaged his health.

 

"The ceaseless anxiety that Julian's been under for now 10 years has had a profoundly deleterious effect," he told BBC television on Tuesday.

 

"I imagine that he will be really worried because being sent to the United States is a death sentence."

 

Last November, more than 60 doctors wrote an open letter saying they feared Assange's health was so bad he could die in jail.

 

In the letter to British Home Secretary Priti Patel, the doctors say Assange suffers from psychological problems including depression as well as dental issues and a serious shoulder ailment.

Judge in Malka Leifer case will allow private psychiatrists for defense

 

In January, a panel of three state psychiatrists appointed by the court found that Leifer was feigning mental illness and was fit for trial.

 

Judge Chana Miriam Lomp of the Jerusalem District Court has decided to allow private psychiatrists to testify in defense of alleged pedophile Malka Leifer that she is mentally unfit for trial.

 

The decision has generated outrage among activists due to the new delays this decision will cause in the nearly six-year-long case.

 

The Australian authorities have sought Leifer’s extradition since 2014 to stand trial on 74 counts of sexual abuse and rape against pupils in the school where she served as principal.

 

In January, a panel of three state psychiatrists appointed by the court found that Leifer was feigning mental illness and was fit for trial.

 

Lomp has acquiesced to Leifer’s defense attorneys’ request that they be able to cross-examine the state psychiatrists. Those hearings are scheduled for the end of this month. She also conceded to delay those hearings due to “scheduling conflicts” for Leifer’s attorneys.

 

The court has already heard from private psychiatrists brought by Leifer’s defense team who argued that she was mentally unfit for trial.

 

Further, the same psychiatrists, Prof. Moshe Kotler and Prof. Shmuel Tiano, who will testify, already gave testimony in this case last year.

 

Alleged victim Dassi Erlich reacted with anger to Lomp’s decision, which could delay a case that has taken more than five years and more than 60 hearings with no resolution in sight.

 

“We have been calm,” she said in a statement on Facebook. “We have tried to trust the Israeli court system and understand that this takes time. But when we go backwards and repeat a process that has already been endlessly delayed, we have had enough!!”

 

“In an unprecedented move, Judge Lomp has ruled that the defense can bring two of their psychiatrists, who have already testified, to give their opinion on a panel that she requested to make a final decision!!” Erlich said. “This panel unanimously decided Leifer is faking on Sept 23, 2019! Can anybody see the sense in this??? Psychiatrists for the defense will be cross examined on March 12th.”

 

Leifer fled from Australia to Israel in 2008 after allegations of sexual abuse surfaced against her. She has evaded extradition since 2014 with claims of being mentally unfit.

 

However, in 2018, Leifer was rearrested when evidence of her leading a normal life in the Samaria settlement of Emmanuel led to suspicions she was feigning mental illness to avoid extradition. Legal proceedings were then restarted.

This is a completely unprecedented move - there has never been a case in Israel where a judge has allowed the defense to bring more witnesses after a court appointed expert panel made a final decision.

Prime Minister spruiks Australian role in NASA's Mars plan at launch of space agency base

 

The Australian Space Agency has officially opened its new Adelaide headquarters, with the Federal Government predicting activities at the site will help to triple the size of the nation's space industry.

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison opened the agency's new home this morning, saying it will provide local companies with opportunities to capitalise on Australian involvement in NASA's plans to launch human missions to Mars.

 

Head of the agency, Dr Megan Clark, said a small mission control centre inside the Australian Space Discovery Centre — which is based at the site — would open next year.

 

"What will be unusual is the mission control will be right here and we will have glass at the back so people can come in off the street and see what we are doing," she said.

 

"We want kids and people to be able to see what's happening on the lunar surface, to be able to see what's happening in real time on the lunar orbiter, and eventually to be able to come and say 'I wonder what's happening on Mars today', and come in and see people in action.

 

"No other agency has opened their mission control up in that way."

 

Deputy head of the agency Anthony Murfett said the mission control centre would also allow stronger collaboration with other space agencies.

 

"Our businesses will be doing their activities to control satellites right here in Adelaide," he told ABC Radio Adelaide.

 

"We will work with our international counterparts to show a feed of what is actually happening in space."

 

During a visit to the US last year, the Prime Minister committed $150 million over five years to help Australian businesses get involved in US President Donald Trump's plans for missions to the Moon and Mars.

 

Mr Morrison said the global space economy was forecast to be worth more than $1 trillion by 2040, and that Australia needed to position itself to take advantage.

 

"[The] space industry … is growing faster than the global economy, faster than our regional economy," he said.

 

"We're investing almost $700 million into the space sector, including $150 million into Australian businesses so they can pick up more work and support more jobs by partnering with NASA's Moon-to-Mars initiative."

 

Agency will help space industry 'triple in size'

 

Federal Science Minister Karen Andrews said the launch of the space agency would help deliver on previous promises of jobs.

 

"Currently the space industry in Australia employs about 10,000 people and is worth about $3.9 billion," she said.

 

"The plan that we have in place, that we are currently implementing, will grow the space industry here in Australia to triple in size to $12 billion and to employ an additional 20,000 people by 2030."

 

Ms Andrews said growth occupations would be diverse, and include astrophysicists, scientists, engineers and electricians.

 

Adelaide was revealed as the home of the new space agency in 2018, fending off strong competition from other states to secure the headquarters.

 

The agency is based at Lot Fourteen, the former Royal Adelaide Hospital site in Adelaide's CBD.

 

Mr Morrison toured the site this morning alongside Ms Andrews, Dr Clark and South Australian Premier Steven Marshall.

 

Mr Marshall said South Australia was now at the forefront of the nation's space endeavours.

 

"We are now, without a doubt, the space capital of the nation," he said.

 

"Young people from across the state have the opportunity to seize incredible jobs across the sector, right here in South Australia."

 

Despite these grand ambitions, Dr Clark said the agency would itself only employ a modest number of staff.

 

"We have 20 people here — we have 19 and we've got one more to go. Even on opening day we are almost full up there," she said.

 

"This is now a door that we can showcase when we have our international visitors.

 

"Opening that door internationally, with the United Kingdom, with France, with what we're doing with NASA on the Moon-to-Mars [initiative] … this is an important role."

Kogarah dance studio rapist Anthony Sampieri to appeal life sentence

 

Convicted child rapist Anthony Sampieri will appeal the life sentence he received for his brutal attack on a seven-year-old girl.

 

Convicted child rapist Anthony Sampieri intends to appeal the life sentence handed to him over his attack on a seven-year-old girl inside a toilet at a Sydney dance studio.

 

Sampieri punched, bound and choked the girl for almost an hour while he filmed part of the ordeal and threatened to kill her at Kogarah in November 2018.

 

Sampieri pleaded guilty to 10 charges related to the attack and was sentenced to life in jail with no non-parole period in the NSW District Court on February 12.

 

The rapist also admitted to charges related to 94 sexually explicit and harassing phone calls he made to women in the months before the attack.

 

The 56-year-old has liver cancer and only a few years to live, and will spend the rest of his life behind bars.

 

He lodged a notice of intention to appeal with the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal one day after his sentencing.

 

Sampieri must outline his case for appeal by August 13.

 

His lawyer, Penny Musgrave, confirmed to AAP on Wednesday that Sampieri had lodged the notice of his intention to appeal, which gives him six months to decide whether he will go ahead with it.

 

Sampieri, who was on parole at the time for an earlier rape in Wollongong, was high on ice during the attack on the child.

 

Acting Judge Paul Conlon in sentencing said the attack could “only be described as any parent’s worst nightmare”.

 

He said it would have been terrifying and the girl would have held “grave fears” for her life.

 

The judge described mechanic Nick Gilio as brave for confronting the knife- wielding Sampieri after he found the girl in the toilets.

 

Mr Gilio suffered several large cuts during the confrontation, including a 14cm wound to the back of his head and cuts to his neck and abdomen.

256 Australians spend more than $1.3 million watching child sexual abuse online

 

More than 250 Australians have spent more than $1.3 million to watch child sexual abuse, live streamed on the internet from the Philippines, over 13 years.

 

The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) compiled the data in a landmark study of criminal behaviour online and found the majority of the Australians paying for what has been dubbed "webcam child sex tourism" were aged in their 50s and 60s.

 

More than half had no criminal record and were from a range of occupations. They included aged care workers, gardeners and even one housewife.

 

The AIC matched more than 2,700 transaction records between 2006 and 2018, provided by the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).

 

The financial details belonged to Australians linked to people arrested for child sexual exploitation in the Philippines.

 

Some payments to watch children being abused were less than $49.

 

The institute said the live streaming of child sexual abuse was "distinct from other child sexual abuse material shared on the internet due to the 'real-time' element".

 

"Offenders often request how they want the child to be sexually abused either before or during the live streaming session," the report said.

 

Of the 256 Australians who paid to watch children being abused, more than half made more than one payment, with the AIC stating there was "clear evidence of escalation in the frequency and potential severity of offending in the financial transactions made to [child sexual abuse] live stream facilitators".

 

The institute was unable to determine exactly what led to some transactions being worth more, but argued it could be a case of a higher price being charged for more egregious and sickening abuse.

 

The report, released today, coincides with an address to the National Press Club (NPC) in Canberra by the new Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, Reece Kershaw, AUSTRAC boss Nicole Rose and the AIC's chief Michael Phelan on countering child sexual exploitation and abuse.

 

Ms Rose said the Philippines was a "hub" for the live streaming of child sexual abuse.

 

"This can be sadly attributed to factors of poverty, a high level of English speaking, strong internet coverage and reliable services to facilitate payment," she said.

 

"It's alarming there's a continuing trend of Australians purchasing viewing and directing the abuse of children on the internet. While these offenders may try to stay under the radar at home, a pattern of crime escalation may compel them to travel out of the country to offend."

 

The trio are calling for stronger legislation to tackle encryption online, in a bid to pursue child abusers and paedophiles hiding in the darkest reaches of the internet.

 

"We are seeing more videos, younger children, more violence, we are seeing the rape and torture of our children all for sexual gratification," Commissioner Kershaw told the NPC.

 

"Australian offenders are involved in producing this material, they travel to impoverished places and they exploit vulnerable children.

 

"They use the dark web like a weapon, they use encryption like a sword and anonymity like a shield."

Australians who view live streaming of child sexual abuse: An analysis of financial transactions

 

Australian Institute of Criminology

 

Abstract:

 

In recent years, there has been growing evidence of live streaming technologies being used to facilitate child sexual abuse (CSA). This study examined a sample of financial transactions made by a cohort of Australians who provided funds to known facilitators of CSA live streaming in the Philippines.

 

The results showed that these individuals were likely to be aged in their 50s or 60s and the majority (55%) had no criminal record. Ten percent had a sexual offence recorded in their criminal history.

 

Most CSA live streaming transactions involved a small proportion of individuals. Just three percent accounted for half of all transactions. In contrast, 25 percent of individuals made just three percent of transactions.

 

As individuals purchased more CSA live streaming transactions, the median amounts they paid increased and the transactions became more frequent. These two variables were significantly correlated. This may reflect an escalation in the frequency and severity of offending.

Fresh charges for ex-Labor MP Orkopoulos

 

Convicted pedophile and former NSW Labor MP Milton Orkopoulos could be sent back to prison after being charged with three additional counts of breaching his parole conditions.

 

Orkopoulos will appear at Waverley Local Court on Thursday to answer the fresh charges, including being caught with an unapproved mobile phone.

 

The 62-year-old was already before the courts facing two counts of breaching his parole in January.

 

Orkopoulos was arrested at his Malabar home on Wednesday and taken to Maroubra Police Station where he was charged.

 

It was the second time the former Iemma government Aboriginal affairs minister had been arrested since his release from Long Bay jail in December after serving 11 and a half years for child sex offences.

 

Orkopoulos was previously detained on January 22 after allegedly setting up an Instagram account without informing police and talking to a child while on a phone call with one of his adult children.

 

He pleaded not guilty and remained on parole but now he's in danger of being sent back to prison.

 

Corrective Services NSW has written to the State Parole Authority asking for his parole to be revoked.

 

Orkopoulos did not appear on Wednesday when his matter was briefly heard in Waverley Local Court and adjourned until Thursday.

 

Orkopoulos's lawyer, Michael Vo, said outside court he would be making a bail application on Thursday, when police will apply for his client to be kept in custody.

 

The former state politician was jailed in 2008 after being convicted of 30 offences, including having sexual intercourse with a male aged between 10 and 18 years, possessing child pornography, and supplying cannabis and heroin.

 

Orkopoulos had 18 parole conditions imposed on him when he was released in late 2019 despite his head sentence not expiring until October 2021.

 

He was granted parole by the SPA after the Serious Offenders Review Council and Corrections recommended he be released on supervised parole.

St Kevin's headmaster Stephen Russell resigns over character reference for paedophile

 

Russell quits elite Melbourne school after revelations in ABC Four Corners program over former coach Peter Kehoe

 

The headmaster of St Kevin’s college in Melbourne has resigned after it was revealed he wrote a character reference for a school’s athletic coach after he was convicted of grooming a student.

 

In a letter to parents, headmaster Stephen Russell said he would resign immediately for the wellbeing of the school and students.

 

“I have a deep and abiding passion for this school community and am very grateful for the 24 years of nurturing I and my family have received,” he said in the letter.

 

“I extend my best wishes and encouragement to the current student body to be ‘good people’ the way so many who went before them have been across the decades.”

 

Former coach Peter Kehoe was convicted in 2015 for grooming then year 9 student Paris Street. According to the ABC when Kehoe was coaching Street, he sent him messages via Facebook which eventually escalated to the coach taking Street to his house and inviting him into his bed.

 

Russell and the school’s dean of sport, Luke Travers, came under fire after the ABC’s Four Corners program revealed Russell had provided a reference to Kehoe during sentencing, and Travers had provided a character reference before the trial.

 

Street’s lawyer, Judy Courtin, told ABC RN Breakfast on Wednesday that after the sentencing, Street was “forced” to have a meeting with Travers at the school, despite Travers being a friend of Kehoe. Courtin said Travers allegedly told Street in the meeting that he didn’t think he should have been convicted and would continue to be friends with Kehoe.

 

“That happened at school.”

 

Victorian education minister James Merlino has said the state’s education regulator, the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority, will review the school’s management of child abuse risks in the wake of the ABC report.

 

Courtin said she wasn’t convinced the review would recommend any changes.

 

“Here we have the Old Boys sticking by each other … Have all the policies you like, it doesn’t seem to stop this terrible culture that is psychiatrically harmful for the children.”

 

Blue Knot Foundation, the national centre of excellence for complex trauma, welcomed Russell’s decision to resign.

 

“His resignation hopefully represents the beginning of a critical change in child safety and accountability at St Kevin’s moving forward,” its president, Cathy Kezelman, said.

 

“It is not acceptable to ever ignore the suffering of victims and the impact of the crime of child sexual abuse in favour of institutions and their hierarchy.”

 

In a statement provided to the ABC last week, St Kevin’s College said Kehoe’s actions were “completely unacceptable” and strongly condemned. Kehoe was banned from entering the school after he was convicted.

 

Edmund Rice Education Australia, the governing body of St Kevin’s, said in a letter on Wednesday that Russell would be replaced by St Patrick’s College Ballarat principal John Crowley as acting headmaster for 2020.

 

Travers was also formally stood down pending further investigations of issues raised in the ABC report.

 

“During Monday’s Four Corners program, we heard from young people who shared their disturbing accounts of distress, pain and disempowerment,” executive director Dr Wayne Tinsey said in the letter.

 

“They made a plea for an education that empowers them to challenge what is dehumanising and wrong. As educators, we hear these voices and commit further to this empowerment of the young through the education we provide them.

 

“For most members of the St Kevin’s community, watching the program was a distressing and challenging experience.”

If you've been following Q's post about Wikileaks, the word "compromised" is rather fitting actually. Back in june 2018 Wikileaks openly attacked Qanon and Q hinted Wikileaks as an org is under C_A control but the source(Assange) is with the good guys.

Government considering bringing foreign cyber spy powers onshore to hunt Australian paedophiles

 

Australia's premier foreign cyber intelligence agency would be enlisted to help track down online paedophiles, terrorists and other serious criminals under a proposal being developed by the Federal Government.

 

The ABC understands the change could allow the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to call for assistance from the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) or extend the cyber capability of the AFP.

 

The ASD, whose motto is to "reveal their secrets, protect our own", is restricted under legislation to hacking, disrupting and destroying foreign criminal cyber activity.

 

The agency is banned from spying or hacking into online systems based in Australia.

 

This means that if cyber spooks working for ASD come across cybercriminal activity within Australia, its work must immediately stop, no matter how serious the offence.

 

For example, the ASD can hunt down sexual predators using overseas networks, but it cannot spy on them if the server is based in Australia.

 

"At the moment, if there is a server in Sydney that has images of a five- or six-month-old child being sexually exploited and tortured, then that may not be discoverable, particularly if it's encrypted and protected to a point where the AFP or the ACIC can't gain access to that server," Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton told the ABC.

 

"It can be a different picture if that server is offshore, so there is an anomaly that exists at the moment."

 

It is understood that the Government wants agencies to be able to develop cyber expertise or to enlist the skills of ASD by relaxing the restrictions governing the agency's remit.

 

While he wouldn't back the proposal outright, Mr Dutton made it clear he wants change.

 

"What I think is that there should be a public debate about whether we think it's acceptable for our society to tolerate the presence of these criminal networks right next door to us and yet we have no ability to do anything about it," he said.

 

…..

 

The AFP received 17,000 referrals for online child exploitation material last year, compared to just 300 a decade ago.

 

A referral doesn't mean a single image of a child, but potentially thousands of videos and pictures of children being sexually abused.

 

Security agencies argue that the online world, especially the largely ungoverned "dark web", protects those attempting to do harm and interception laws have not kept up.

 

Publicly, the agencies and Mr Dutton have complained that warrants allowing agencies to use ASD are too restrictive and criminal networks onshore are operating with impunity.

 

Mr Dutton wants to bring online warrants into the 21st century to keep up with evolving technology that has made it easier for criminals to hide.

 

He is pushing for the online warrants to mirror the process police are able to use when searching a house.

 

"I want to make sure that if they [the police] can get a warrant from a court and go to a paedophile's house and search that house for material … I want to make sure we have the same power to do that in the online life of that paedophile. Nothing more, nothing less," Mr Dutton said.

 

AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw said "perverted offenders" were using the dark web to evade law enforcement and commit "heinous crimes".

 

"We are seeing more videos, younger children … we are seeing the rape and torture of our children, all for sexual gratification," he told the National Press Club on Wednesday.

 

The search powers of AUSTRAC, the nation's financial intelligence unit that tracks money laundering and financial terrorism, allow it to conduct wide-ranging searches within strict rules to gather intelligence on an individual or group.

 

Mr Dutton has referred to those powers as an example of what security agencies hunting paedophiles online could have.

 

"[AUSTRAC chief executive Nicole Rose] has the ability to look at millions of transactions, to look for payments made from an Australian paedophile to a syndicate in the Philippines that is sexually abusing children," he said.

 

"She can look at the transactions and put together an intelligence picture. Nobody is asking for any more than that … it's a debate worth having."

Dana Rohrabacher denies offering Assange a pardon from Trump

 

A former Republican congressman has denied he offered a pardon to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on behalf of US President Donald Trump.

 

Assange's lawyer said Dana Rohrabacher claimed to be acting "on instructions" from Mr Trump in offering clemency.

 

In return, the president was said to have wanted Assange to say Russia was not involved in leaking emails during the 2016 US election.

 

But Mr Rohrabacher, a former California representative, rejected the claims.

 

"At no time did I talk to President Trump about Julian Assange. Likewise, I was not directed by Trump or anyone else connected with him to meet with Julian Assange," he said in a statement.

 

Mr Rohrabacher said he was acting on his own "fact-finding mission".

 

He said he told the Wikileaks founder that if he could provide evidence of who passed on the DNC emails, he would then call on the president to pardon him.

 

The White House called the allegation "a complete fabrication and a total lie".

 

What's the row about?

 

Leaked emails published by Wikileaks ahead of the 2016 vote contained embarrassing details about the Democratic Party, and were seen to have damaged its presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

 

Assange has previously denied receiving the material from the Kremlin, although Russian intelligence officials have been indicted in the US for the leak.

 

Assange is facing extradition to the US on 18 charges over earlier leaks of diplomatic cables.

 

He faces up to 175 years in prison if found guilty.

 

Where does the allegation come from?

 

The claim was made at a court hearing in London before a formal extradition request for Assange begins. He is wanted in the US on espionage charges.

 

Assange's barrister, Edward Fitzgerald QC, told Westminster Magistrates Court there was evidence that former congressman Rohrabacher made the pardon offer.

 

Mr Rohrabacher, known for his outspoken support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, visited the Ecuadorian embassy in August 2017, where Assange was staying, he said.

 

At the time, Russia was widely suspected of stealing embarrassing Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails, which were published by Wikileaks - although Assange has denied Russian involvement.

 

Mr Fitzgerald said a statement from Assange's lawyer Jennifer Robinson showed "Mr Rohrabacher going to see Mr Assange and saying, on instructions from the president, he was offering a pardon or some other way out, if Mr Assange… said Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks."

 

District Judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled the evidence admissible in court.

 

What has the response been?

 

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said: "The President barely knows Dana Rohrabacher other than he's an ex-congressman. He's never spoken to him on this subject or almost any subject.

 

"It is a complete fabrication and a total lie."

 

Mr Trump has previously praised him as "a great congressman" who "works hard and is respected by all".

 

The Wall Street Journal reported in 2017 that he had contacted the White House in an attempt to secure a pardon for Mr Assange.

 

The paper said that, under Mr Rohrabacher's terms, Mr Assange was required to provide "proof" that Russia was not the source of hacked emails published by Wikileaks during the 2016 US election.

My Meeting with Julian Assange

 

There is a lot of misinformation floating out there regarding my meeting with Julian Assange so let me provide some clarity on the matter:

 

At no time did I talk to President Trump about Julian Assange. Likewise, I was not directed by Trump or anyone else connected with him to meet with Julian Assange. I was on my own fact finding mission at personal expense to find out information I thought was important to our country. I was shocked to find out that no other member of Congress had taken the time in their official or unofficial capacity to interview Julian Assange. At no time did I offer Julian Assange anything from the President because I had not spoken with the President about this issue at all.

MPs astounded at further Malka Leifer extradition delay

 

Government and Labor MPs have hit out at an “astounding” decision from an Israeli judge which could further delay the years-long extradition process of a former Melbourne school principal accused of child sex abuse.

 

The concern from Labor MP Josh Burns and former Australian ambassador Dave Sharma follows the decision of an Israeli judge on Tuesday to allow psychiatrists for the defence to testify again that Malka Leifer is not mentally fit to stand trial for extradition to Australia, after a psychiatric panel in January determined she was feigning mental illness and was fit to stand trial.

 

A former principal of Melbourne’s ultra-orthodox Adass Israel girls school, Ms Leifer fled to Israel in 2008 as accusations against her surfaced. She has since been charged with 74 charges of child sexual abuse, with Australia lodging a formal extradition request in 2014.

 

The decision from Judge Chana Lomp comes months after an earlier psychiatric opinion that the principal was not fit to stand trial was thrown out over concerns Israel’s Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman had interfered with the assessing panel to influence their determination.

 

It is understood the decision to allow the psychiatrists for the defence to submit their opinions will force prosecutors seeking Ms Leifer’s extradition to cross examine them in hearings, which would further delay the case that has already run for more than 60 hearings.

 

Josh Burns, the Labor MP for Macnamara in Melbourne which takes in the Adass Israel School where Ms Leifer is alleged to have committed the abuse, labelled the court’s decision “astounding”.

 

“It is astounding that Judge Lomp is allowing additional psychiatrists to testify against the independent medical panel that she appointed and who unanimously found that Malka Leifer is fit to stand trial,” Mr Burns told The Australian.

 

“These seemingly endless delays and the allegations of corruption that have been made by Israeli police reflect extremely poorly on Israel and is exposing serious flaws in its justice system.”

 

Dave Sharma, Liberal MP for Wentworth and former Australian ambassador to Israel, told The Australian the case has “already been delayed for far too long”.

 

“I would be concerned by any steps which cause further delays in these proceedings,” Mr Sharma said.

 

Earlier in February Mr Sharma and Mr Burns moved a motion urging Israel to extradite Ms Leifer immediately.

 

Dassi Erlich, one of Ms Leifer’s former students and alleged victims, described the court’s decision as going backwards.

 

“We have been patient. We have been calm. We have tried to trust the Israeli court system and understand this takes time,” she wrote on Facebook.

 

“But when we go backwards and repeat a process that has already been endlessly delayed we have had enough!!

 

“Can anybody see the sense in this???”

 

Manny Waks, the head of Jewish child sexual abuse support organisation Kol V’Oz said the case had become “farcical”.

 

“This unprecedented decision continues to make a mockery of the Israeli legal system,” he said.

 

“Judge Lomp herself appointed this latest psychiatric panel, which has made a unanimous, unequivocal decision; that Leifer is faking her illness and that she is in fact fit to face justice.

 

“Why on earth does Judge Lomp need to hear from these psychiatrists again?”

 

The new psychiatric opinion will be submitted on Monday, with the next court date set for March 12.

Encryption laws haven't created weaknesses: ASIO boss

 

The nation's domestic spy chief says his agency's use of controversial encryption laws to access encoded messages has not introduced any systemic weaknesses to networks and devices as critics had feared.

 

Australian Security Intelligence Organisation boss Mike Burgess also revealed tech companies had not formally challenged his organisation's requests to establish new capabilities to intercept and decrypt communications, saying the process had been "very collaborative so far".

 

Under the Morrison government's encryption-subverting laws, security agencies can order a "technical capability notice" requiring service providers to create new capabilities to gain access to encrypted messages.

 

The tech sector has previously warned it is impossible to introduce selective backdoor access to an encrypted service without weakening the entire system and leaving users vulnerable to hackers.

 

Mr Burgess said all technical capability notices had been done in co-operation with providers and had not involved the development of any backdoors that might create systemic weakness in networks or devices.

 

"Our experience is we've not had an issue – it's been very collaborative so far," he told a hearing into the laws on Thursday. "I know that members of our society, depending on where you fall, will have a different view of what a 'systemic weakness' is.

 

"But that's in my mind when I consider this, because I have no intention of introducing something that breaks the internet, no intention of introducing something that actually means that whilst it gives me lawful access to target A, I've now put every Australians' private communications at risk …"

 

Mr Burgess said ASIO had used the new encryption laws within 10 days of them coming into effect last year.

 

With more than 95 per cent of ASIO's most dangerous counter-terrorism targets using encrypted communications, Mr Burgess said the laws had helped significantly in gaining targeted access to specific encrypted data and it was done "in a co-operative way".

 

The guarantee by the ASIO boss comes as calls grow from tech companies for more oversight of the encryption laws, including a requirement that security agencies must go before a senior judge before gaining access to encrypted messages.

 

The laws – which were hurried through Federal Parliament at the end of 2018 – are being reviewed by the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor, James Renwick, who has already suggested that some of his recommendations would include a senior judicial officer being involved in ticking off on encryption requests.

 

In his opening remarks to the hearing, Dr Renwick said it might be preferable for law enforcement agencies to go before a senior judge or the security division of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to access encrypted messages. Currently, "technical assistance notices" (TANs) – which require service providers to hand over encrypted data – can be approved by an agency head or their delegate.

 

"Unlike the underlying warrants or authorisations, TANs are not granted by an eligible judge or independent tribunal member but are simply granted by the agency head or their delegate, a departure from the normal course of an independent eligible judge or tribunal member in relation to a coercive power affecting privacy," he said.

 

Dr Renwick said nothing he had seen in his review of the encryption laws so far amounted to "mass surveillance" of Australians, and they had instead allowed for existing powers to be used in a more targeted or limited fashion.

 

But he said many of the submissions had raised concerns about the laws creating systemic weaknesses or vulnerabilities in networks and devices, suggesting the definitions of these terms in the laws needed to be improved.

George Pell: High Court weighs details of witness testimony

 

The High Court is weighing up the importance of viewing the testimony of George Pell’s victim compared to just reading the transcript.

 

The court requested submissions on the issue this month and released the response from Pell’s legal team on Wednesday.

 

Pell’s barristers, Bret Walker SC and Ruth Shann, argue the majority opinion of the Victorian Court of Appeal last year took the wrong approach in assessing the impact of the demeanour of witnesses whose evidence was viewed.

 

The Court of Appeal sought submissions on this topic last year indicating it intended to view video recordings of the trial evidence of the victim and three other witnesses.

 

“The applicant submitted that … there was no necessity to watch any video recordings because the complaint of the applicant on appeal did not depend on the manner in which any witness gave evidence,” Pell’s counsel said in their High Court submissions.

 

“In particular, it was submitted that no matter how favourable a view was taken of the manner that the complainant gave evidence, it was not open to the jury, acting rationally, to conclude that the prosecution had eliminated all reasonable doubt due to the combined effect of the unchallenged evidence of other witnesses.”

 

The appellate court ended up conducting a view of St Patrick’s Cathedral, where the abuse took place, and video recordings of 12 witnesses.

 

Pell’s counsel said it was unnecessary for the appellate court to watch any recordings but it wouldn’t have been in any way determinative of the issues on appeal.

 

“This is because the issue for the court’s consideration remained whether it was sufficient for belief in the complainant to eliminate doubt otherwise raised and left by unchallenged exculpatory evidence unanswered by the evidence of the complainant,” they said in the response to the High Court.

 

Pell’s counsel argue the Court of Appeal majority, Chief judge Anne Ferguson and the president of the court Chris Maxwell, substantially based their conclusion on their favourable view of the victim’s manner despite saying they “bore in mind” caution from a previous High Court decision about too readily drawing conclusions about truthfulness and reliability solely or mainly from the appearance of witnesses.

 

“Many of the other matters considered by the majority to affect the complainant’s credibility were either viewed by the majority as not detracting from the favourable perception they had of his demeanour or are interpreted through the lens of having concluded he is credible and reliable because of his demeanour,” they said.

 

Dissenting Justice Mark Weinberg found the victim’s manner of giving evidence less compelling.

 

“Weinberg JA noted the risks of giving too much credence to matters such as demeanour when evaluating the evidence of a witness,” Pell’s legal team said.

 

“Weinberg JA stated that while demeanour must be ‘weighed in the scale’, it was to be considered in the light of the evidence as a whole.”

 

Pell’s counsel submitted Justice Weinberg adopted the “correct judicial method” compared to the majority.

 

The High Court hearing is listed for March 11 and 12.

 

Pell was convicted in December 2018 on one charge of sexual penetration with a child under 16 and four counts of indecent act with, or in the presence of, a child under 16, relating to two separate incidents at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne in 1996 and 1997.

 

The first incident related to choristers J and R who had left the procession and made their way to the priests’ sacristy, where Pell caught them drinking sacramental wine. Pell sexually abused the boys after mass in the sacristy.

 

The second incident involved Pell squeezing J’s genitals in a corridor. Prosecutors relied solely on evidence from J in the trial. The second choirboy, R, died in 2014 of a drug overdose.

 

Pell is serving a six-year sentence with a minimum of three years and eight months.

Resignations in the news

 

Rebel Queensland Labor MP Jo-Ann Miller resigns

 

Rebel Labor backbencher Jo-Ann Miller has resigned from Queensland parliament effective immediately, likely triggering another by-election for the state ahead of the October poll.

 

A tearful Ms Miller handed her resignation letter to Speaker Curtis Pitt in parliament on Thursday morning, indicating it would be effective immediately.

 

Ms Miller, who has long held enmity for Deputy Premier Ms Trad, told ABC Radio – in an interview broadcast this week – that “Trad is a four-letter word”. She said she had been ostracised by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Ms Trad after she was forced from Cabinet.

 

Ms Miller blamed that on raising corruption claims about the Labor-leaning Ipswich City Council. But she resigned after a damning Ethics Committee report about her “reckless” behaviour and improper disposal of confidential documents.

New concerns at St Kevin's College

 

St Kevin's College deputy head Janet Canny has been stood down following allegations she responded inappropriately to a teacher's complaints about further child-grooming allegations.

 

Edmund Rice Education Australia confirmed on Thursday that Mrs Canny had been removed from her position.

 

The Melbourne Catholic boys' school is set to undergo more scrutiny after teacher Maree Keel alleged she was mistreated and has launched legal action under the Fair Work Act.

 

"Ms Keel alleges she was mistreated after raising concerns about the behaviour of a St Kevin's staff member," law firm Maurice Blackburn said.

 

The ABC reported on Wednesday that St Kevin's allegedly responded inappropriately to Ms Keel's complaint about inappropriate sexual conduct by a fellow teacher last year.

 

Mrs Canny told Ms Keen she was being "disloyal to St Kevin's College", the ABC said.

 

St Kevin's headmaster Stephen Russell resigned on Wednesday over the school's handling of a 2014 child-grooming case.

 

Mr Russell had been under pressure after it was revealed he provided a character reference to a court for former volunteer athletics coach Peter Kehoe who was convicted of grooming a student under 16.

George Pell’s legal team argue DPP adopted a “piecemeal approach” in defending guilty verdict

 

The Victorian Director of Public Prosecutions has adopted a “piecemeal approach” in defending the guilty verdict of George Pell, submissions to the High Court from Pell’s legal team argue.

 

The High Court has now received the final submissions before the two-day full court hearing in March.

 

In Pell’s counsel’s reply to the prosecution, barristers Bret Walker SC and Ruth Shann claim the Court of Appeal majority, 2-1, didn’t independently weigh the combined effect of the evidence.

 

In their submissions, counsel make the point that the trial judge, Chief Judge Peter Kidd, “without demur from the prosecution” directed the jury that there was no evidence to support the prosecution case other than that of the complainant.

 

Counsel argue the victim’s description of the layout and features of the “wood panelled area” in the priests’ sacristy were not accurate and although he was correct about the location of the wine in a particular corner: “That was a simple fact that could only be speculated as incapable of recall from a tour.”

 

Counsel said that the evidence of two choristers who joined the choir in 1991 and 1993 that they had not been in the priests’ sacristy before, did not prove the victim didn’t enter the room on a tour when he joined the choir in 1996 nor the fact the room was off-limits to choristers on Sundays.

 

A further point is made that there is no positive evidence that Pell didn’t openly use the priests’ sacristy.

 

Counsel said the DPP relied on the evidence of Monsignor Charles Portelli to establish Pell would have robed in the sacristy on 15th and 22nd December 23 “without confronting the tension between that reliance and the respondent’s assertion that Portelli’s memory is unreliable when he says that he was with the applicant when he robed and disrobed in that room on those dates”.

 

Counsel also argued the alibi provided for Pell by people like Portelli was “not anywhere near eliminated”.

 

Pell was convicted in December 2018 on one charge of sexual penetration with a child under 16 and four counts of indecent act with, or in the presence of, a child under 16, relating to two separate incidents at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne in 1996 and 1997.

 

The first incident related to choristers J and R who had left the procession and made their way to the priests’ sacristy, where Pell caught them drinking sacramental wine.

 

Pell sexually abused the boys after mass in the sacristy.

 

The second incident involved Pell squeezing J’s genitals in a corridor. Prosecutors relied solely on evidence from J in the trial.

 

The second choirboy, R, died in 2014 of a drug overdose.

 

R had denied being abused to his parents who weren’t called to give evidence at trial.

 

In their submissions Pell’s counsel argued the prosecution’s forensic choice not to call the parents “leaves as an uneliminated possibility that it was a true denial”.

 

“As the relevance of the denial of offending by the alleged co-victim is to determine if the complainant can be accepted beyond reasonable doubt, it is impermissibly circular to use belief in the complainant to eliminate the doubt otherwise raised by the denial,” counsel submitted.

 

Pell is serving a six-year sentence with a minimum of three years and eight months.

Scott Morrison flies to US spy base for first classified briefing

 

Scott Morrison has flown to the remote US spy base at Pine Gap for a classified briefing from US and Australian intelligence officials.

 

The visit this afternoon follows the prime minister announcement this morning of the $1 billion upgrade to Tindal RAAF base which will serve as the spearhead for USAF and RAAF operations in the Indo Pacific.

 

The announcement, signed off by the national security committee of cabinet last week, marks a significant expansion in the reach of air force capability into the region and signals a more assertiv­e Australia-US posture as China continues to expand its strategi­c footprint into the region.

 

“It will be integral to our alliance with the United States, and increase the reach of Air Force capabilities in the Indo-Pacific,” Mr Morrison said in a statement. Mr Morrison said RAAF Base Tindal would support critical Defence operations including air combat missions and responding to natural disasters. “This investment is all about keeping Australians safe and putting Australians in jobs,” he said.

 

The highly secretive base jointly operated by Australia and US agencies including the CIA and National Security Agency is a major hub for US global intelligence interception and satellite monitoring for military and nuclear missile threats in the region.

 

The controversial facility south west of Alice Springs is regarded as a key asset for Australia’s national security architecture as well as the US control centre for satellite surveillance operations over China, Russia and the Middle East.

Julian Assange intends to seek asylum in France, lawyers say

 

Julian Assange's European defence team has said it will try to seek asylum in France for the WikiLeaks founder, whose full hearings for extradition to the United States on spying charges start next week in London.

 

French team member Eric Dupont-Moretti said Assange's case placed at stake "the fate and the status of all journalists".

 

"We consider the situation is sufficiently serious that our duty is to talk about it [with French President Emmanuel Macron]," the lawyer said.

 

He was one of a team of lawyers lined up at a Paris news conference to explain why they view the case against Assange as unfair, citing his poor health and alleged violations of his rights while in jail in London.

 

French members of the team said they have been working on a "concrete demand" for Mr Macron to grant Assange asylum in France, where he has children and where WikiLeaks was present at its founding.

 

"It is not an ordinary demand," lawyer Antoine Vey said, noting that Assange is not on French soil.

 

Baltasar Garzon, the Spanish coordinator of Assange's team, reiterated his client's plan to claim that the Trump administration offered him a pardon.

 

The alleged condition was that Assange must agree to say that Russia was not involved in leaking Democratic National Committee emails during the 2016 US election campaign.

 

Mr Garzon insisted that Assange was "pressured by the Trump administration" but resisted and "the order was given to demand the extradition of Julian Assange," he said.

 

The White House has firmly denied the claim. However, Mr Garzon said that both testimony and "documentary proof" of the claim will be offered to the court at the full hearing that opens on Monday.

 

Assange, 48, spent seven years in Ecuador's London embassy before being evicted in April 2019 for what the South American country's President called "spoilt brat" behaviour.

 

He was arrested by British police for jumping bail in 2012. In November, Sweden dropped a sex crimes investigation against him because so much time had elapsed.

44-year-old Queensland man charged with possessing child-like sex dolls

 

A man from Brisbane’s western suburbs has become the first person in Queensland to be charged for possessing child-like sex dolls under new Commonwealth laws targeting child abuse-related offences.

 

The 44-year-old man is due to appear in court today (21 February) after being charged by the Queensland Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (JACET) and faces a potential 15-year jail term if convicted of possessing the anatomically-correct doll.

 

The new offence came into force on 20 September 2019 as part of the Combatting Child Sexual Exploitation Legislation Amendment Act 2019.

 

The Queensland JACET launched an investigation into the 44-year-old’s activities after a child-like sex doll was detected in a shipment from China by Australian Border Force (ABF) on 20 January.

 

Investigators executed a search warrant at the man’s Riverhills home on 25 January where, it will be alleged, they seized two further child-like sex dolls, a laptop and tablet.

 

Police will further allege a laptop seized at the house contained child abuse material.

 

The man is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today, charged with:

 

  • Two counts of possessing a child-like sex doll or other object that resembles a child (or part of a child) under 18, and a reasonable person would consider it likely that the doll is intended to be used to simulate sexual intercourse, contrary to section 273A.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995. The maximum penalty for this offence is imprisonment for 15 years.

 

  • One count of attempting to possess a child-like sex doll contrary to section 273A.1 of the Criminal Code (Cth). The maximum penalty for this offence is imprisonment for 15 years.

 

  • One count of possess child exploitation material contrary to section 228D of the Criminal Code (Qld). The maximum penalty for this offence is imprisonment for 14 years.

 

Research by the Australian Institute of Criminology has found that use of child-like sex dolls may lead to an escalation in child sex offences – from viewing online child abuse material to contact sexual offending.

 

AFP Assistant Commissioner Northern Command Lesa Gale said the dolls could desensitise people who used them to the physical, emotional and psychological harm caused by sexual abuse.

 

“These dolls are not harmless and do not prevent people from offending in the future,” she said.

 

“The Australian Federal Police will pursue any form of child exploitation or activity that reinforces the sexualisation of children. This includes sexual acts using items depicting children such as these dolls, which are legally considered child exploitation material.

 

“This arrest highlights the commitment undertaken by the AFP and its partners to protect children and identify and prosecute anyone who seeks to exploit and harm them.”

 

ABF Regional Commander for Queensland, Chris Waters said this arrest should serve as a warning to anyone who thinks they can import this kind of abhorrent material, that the ABF and its partner agencies will stop you and bring you to justice.

 

“Child sexual abuse is a rapidly evolving global issue and the ABF actively cooperates with our law enforcement partners to further investigate these matters domestically and internationally, to prevent any harm to children here or overseas“ he said.

Julian Assange and his Australian lawyers were secretly recorded in Ecuador's London embassy

 

Barrister Geoffrey Robertson shuffles into the entrance to Ecuador's embassy in London, a camera recording the sound of his shoes echoing on the hard tiles.

 

It's just after 7:00pm on January 12, 2018.

 

The camera rolls as Robertson stops at the front door, unbuttons his overcoat and removes his cap.

 

Once inside the embassy, other cameras follow him as he's ushered into a meeting room, where the storied Queen's Counsel is offered a cup of tea.

 

After a few minutes, he is greeted by the embassy's most famous resident, Julian Assange.

 

The camera continues to roll, recording every word of the confidential legal conversation which follows.

 

While this may be typical surveillance at a secure diplomatic property, what Robertson did not know was he and a handful of other lawyers, were allegedly being targeted in a remarkable and deeply illegal surveillance operation possibly run at the request of the US Government.

 

And recordings such as Robertson's visit are at the heart of concerns about the surveillance: privileged legal conversations between lawyer and client in a diplomatic residence were recorded and, later, accessed from IP addresses in the United States and Ecuador.

 

Robertson was only one of at least three Australian lawyers and more than two dozen other legal advisers from around the world that were caught up in the surveillance operation.

 

Long-time WikiLeaks adviser Jennifer Robinson was one of the other Australian lawyers caught in the spying operation.

 

"It's important that clients can speak frankly and freely in a confidential space with their lawyers in order to be able to protect themselves and ensure that they have the best possible legal strategy and that the other side does not have advance notice of it," Robinson said.

 

Referring to a Spanish allegation that the US Government had advance notice of legal conversations in the embassy, she said: "That is … a huge and a serious breach of [Assange's] right to a defence and a serious breach of his fair trial rights".

 

On Monday evening (Sydney time), Assange will face an extradition hearing relating to US criminal charges against him for his role in the WikiLeaks releases of classified US Government material.

 

The extradition hearing comes amid a flurry of activity related to Assange: on Friday his legal team also confirmed they will try to seek asylum for the WikiLeaks boss in France, and on Thursday an English court heard that Assange was offered a US presidential pardon if he agreed to say that Russia was not involved in a 2016 leak of Democratic Party emails.

 

The offer of a pardon was allegedly made by the US congressman Dana Rohrabacher when he visited Assange in the embassy in August 2017. Rohrabacher has denied he was making the offer on behalf of Donald Trump.

 

'It's an occupational hazard for human rights lawyers'

 

The surveillance was uncovered via a very public investigation into the Spanish company contracted by the Ecuadorian Government to provide security at the embassy, UC Global.

 

WikiLeaks Spanish lawyer, Aitor Martinez, told the ABC the surveillance came to light after Assange was arrested, when former UC Global employees provided a large file of material.

 

"This consisted of recordings from cameras installed in the embassy and hidden microphones; recordings made with secret microphones placed inside the embassy; hundreds of secret copies of the passports of Mr Assange's visitors; multiple emails exchanged between the company owner and the employees," Martinez said.

 

The recording of lawyers and legal conversations was not accidental, according to the Spanish criminal case, which is now investigating UC Global and its owner, former Spanish Navy marine David Morales.

 

"David Morales was justifying himself by saying that he had been expressly asked for this information, sometimes referring to 'the Americans'," a UC Global employee turned prosecution witness said.

 

"He sent on several occasions — via email, by phone and verbally — some lists of targets in which we had to pay special attention … they were mainly Mr Assange's lawyers."

Study identifies 16 child sex abuse rings in Victorian Catholic Church

 

A three-year research project into paedophile Catholic clerics in Victoria has identified 16 child sex abuse networks operating over six decades involving 99 priests and Christian Brothers.

 

The investigation found that clergy paedophile rings shared patterns of behaviour with criminal gangs, the Mafia, terrorist cells, corrupt police, drug dealers, money launderers and price-fixing cartels.

 

The research showed their abuse was facilitated and reinforced by church hierarchy, including five successive archbishops of Melbourne from Daniel Mannix, appointed in 1917, through to George Pell (himself appealing against a conviction for child sex abuse) in 2001.

 

The researcher, Sally Muytjens, spent more than three years investigating "dark networks" of paedophile clergy in Victorian dioceses. She published the research late last year, receiving a doctorate from Queensland University of Technology.

 

Muytjens’ research found the largest and most active dark networks were at schools including St Alipius in Ballarat and Salesian College, Rupertswood, and orphanages including St Vincent de Paul’s in South Melbourne and St Augustine’s in Geelong.

 

One of the worst offenders, convicted paedophile and former Christian Brother Edward "Ted" Dowlan, was active in five of the 16 dark networks, she found.

 

Her study also identified Christian Brother Rex Francis Elmer as a member of two paedophile networks. The Sunday Age last week revealed that Elmer taught at Catholic schools in regional Victoria and Africa for decades after his order first knew he had abused children at a Melbourne orphanage.

 

In her thesis, Muytjens used a research method called social network analysis, which can reveal hidden patterns and ties between members of groups and provide insights into how they operate.

 

Using SNA enabled her to identify connections between clergy perpetrators and specific locations in Victoria from 1939 until 2000, unearthing what she described as a pervasive “sexual underworld” that had the potential to destroy Victorian dioceses.

 

Elsewhere, SNA has been used to map links between terror cells involved in the September 11, 2001, attacks and 2005 London bombings, and to track child sex trafficking networks in Britain, Italian money-laundering rackets and an Australian amphetamine trafficking ring.

 

It has also been employed to track the spread of contagious diseases, as well as population displacement after natural disasters.

 

Muytjens also drew on material from the Victorian parliamentary inquiry and the Commonwealth Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse, victims’ advocacy group Broken Rites and media coverage of criminal trials involving clergy, to map links between clergy child sex abusers in Victoria over six decades.

 

Her thesis examined the responses of the Catholic Church to such criminal activity, describing the institution as a "grey network" that repeatedly facilitated abuse.

 

“One of these patterns was promoting known clergy perpetrators of child sex abuse to senior positions which not only provided further access to victims but also placed them in positions where they were better able to protect the dark network from exposure,” she wrote.

 

The code of silence among Catholic clergy in Victoria mirrored patterns of behaviour exhibited by groups including crooked police and the Mafia, Muytjens added, and that “extended to a refusal to give evidence to the police". "Similar methods were utilised by clergy perpetrator networks within the Victorian Catholic Church to maintain silence.”

 

Documented clusters of paedophile clergy, including at St Alipius Boys’ School in Ballarat in the 1970s, showed they were “conducting illicit activity in an organised and co-operative way”, Muytjens wrote.

 

Dowlan and notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale both had multiple convictions for sexually abusing children, including at St Alipius. Another four clergymen were each part of least two different clusters of abusers at different times, Muytjens found.

 

“Some [clergy] committed child sex abuse at institutions where they were the only known dark network actor … [but] they were also transferred to parishes where there were clusters of other known clergy perpetrators.

 

“These perpetrators were part of multiple clusters at different times … As [Ridsdale and Dowlan] were prolific perpetrators, it can be reasonably argued that [they] were transferred out of clusters when subject to complaints of child sex abuse but were returned to clusters where they could be better supported and protected through stronger ties.

Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Roberts says EVERY SINGLE room of Jeffrey Epstein's $77million mansion had cameras and questions why the FBI still hasn't made any arrests

 

Virginia Roberts, who claims she was trafficked and forced to have sex with Prince Andrew, has said convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's house was crawling with cameras.

 

Roberts has said that she has seen images from the cameras and that they were fitted throughout his house.

 

'I've seen the video rooms,' she said on Twitter.

 

'EVERY SINGLE ROOM was being filmed. I've even seen some of the pics.'

 

Epstein's 'sex slave' Roberts, now known as Virginia Giuffre, claims she had sex with the Duke of York three times - once in London when she was 17, one time in New York and another at Epstein's private Caribbean island. The claims have been strongly denied by Prince Andrew.

 

Roberts' remarks come after a former acquaintance of Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Epstein and his alleged 'madam', had 'everything on videotape'.

 

In an interview with the New York Post, socialite Christina Oxenberg, said Maxwell had told her about the cameras when they were alone.

 

'She said many things. All creepy. Unorthodox. Strange. I could not believe whatever she was saying was real. Stuff like: 'Jeffrey and I have everyone on videotape'.' Oxenberg said.

 

Several other sources have also claimed that Epstein secretly filmed his guests using hidden surveillance cameras in his Manhattan mansion, according to The Telegraph.

 

In response, Roberts question why there was a hold-up in the police investigation.

 

'Everyday I wake up hoping that someone has been help accountable and everyday I wake up disappointed,' she said.

 

Prosecutors in the US are investigating sex trafficking allegations and are looking at possible 'conspirators' who worked with Epstein,

 

Andrew has been accused of failing to respond to requests for an interview about the nature of his friendship with Epstein.

 

The duke has stepped away from royal duties following a disastrous Newsnight interview which probed his relationship with disgraced Epstein.

 

Andrew has 'emphatically' denied any relationship with Roberts, who is now 36 and a mother-of-three and living in Cairns in Australia, 'in any form'.

 

He says he does not recall a 2001 picture of him with Roberts, in which he appears to have his hand on her bare waist, and Ghislaine Maxwell being taken. He has questioned the authenticity of the picture.

 

The duke has also strongly denied claims he had been dodging an interview with authorities.

 

He also denies any knowledge that Epstein was abusing teenagers.

 

Epstein, who died in August 2019, was found dead in his New York jail cell aged 66 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.

 

His death was ruled a suicide but this has been disputed by his lawyers.

Witness claims he saw Prince Andrew kiss and grope Virginia Roberts on Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘paedo island’

 

A NEW witness sensationally claims he saw Prince Andrew “groping” Virginia Roberts.

 

Steve Scully, 70, says he saw saw Prince Andrew kissing Virginia Roberts and grabbing her bottom on paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean island home.

 

Scully, the tycoon’s former phone and internet specialist, said Andrew was with a young bikini-clad blonde by a pool on Little St James.

 

He said he later spoke to Andrew when he encountered the pair holding hands on a pathway.

 

Steve recalled: “I said, ‘Your Highness,’ and he said, ‘No, it’s Andrew’. I said, ‘I’m sorry, I really didn’t know how to address you.’.

 

He is convinced the young woman was Virginia —- who has claimed she was forced to take part in an orgy with the Duke of York on the tropical estate.

 

Steve is the first witness to come forward to say they saw Andrew with Virginia on the island.

 

Prince Andrew has emphatically denied a relationship with Ms Roberts and has said he cannot recall a 2001 picture of them together.

 

In a world exclusive interview, Steve told The Sun on Sunday that he saw Andrew and the young woman fooling around by the pool for several minutes.

 

Steve, 70, said: “He was grabbing her ass and stuff like that. They were kissing.

 

"He was grinding against her and groping her.”

 

Steve, who had been summoned to fix a phone jack, continued: “They were initially lying on lounge chairs by the pool.

 

“When they stood up, they were in between the chairs.

 

“She wasn’t resisting in any manner whatsoever. The look on Andrew’s face was excitement.

 

“They were bumping and grinding and fooling around for five, six, seven minutes and they then laid back down on the lounge chairs and continued.”

 

When he later bumped into the pair, Steve said that he introduced himself. “I said, ‘I’m Steve the phone guy’.

 

He said, ‘All right, Steve the phone guy. I saw you earlier…it’s certainly a lovely place to work isn’t it.’

 

'SHE WAS SO YOUNG'

 

“This is where it struck me as how young the girl was, because she stood like a kid would stand behind a parent.

 

"They walked off together and I went the other way.

 

“It was so obvious she was so young and she never said a word.

 

“I thought she looked particularly young. It bothered me. I thought that it wasn’t appropriate.”

 

There is no suggestion that what Steve saw appeared non-consensual to him.

 

But Ms Roberts now says she was forced to take part in an orgy with the royal on Little St James — after having sex with him in London and New York in 2001.

 

Father-of-three Steve — who has not been paid for this interview — is making his astonishing claim publicly for the first time.

 

His wife Pamela and pal Bobby Gottlieb both confirmed he had told them what he saw at the time.

 

He said he ran into Prince Andrew one Saturday, sometime between 2001 and 2004, but never saw him or the blonde again.

 

He had been called to Little St James by Miles and Cathy Alexander, then caretakers of the island.

 

Steve said: “When Miles called, he said, ‘I had to fix Jeffrey’s favourite phone. It was on the front porch in front of the living room.”

 

Steve said he was warned by Miles there was a “special guest” on the 72-acre Caribbean paradise.

 

Once there, Steve went to the porch and saw Prince Andrew — about 50ft away from him — with the young blonde.

 

He said: “He turned toward me and I went, ‘Oh my goodness, British royalty. That’s amazing.’”

 

Last night Virginia’s lawyer David Boies described Steve as “a very significant” witness and was arranging to speak to him.

 

He added: “Virginia was with Prince Andrew on the island — it would have been in 2001 or the first half of 2002.

 

She doesn’t remember this particular incident — but she says she was groped by him on a number of occasions.”

 

Steve said he was prepared to give a statement under oath.

Brisbane CBD stabber was on counter terror list, police reveal.

 

"The man shot dead by police after stabbing a young tourist in Brisbane's CBD this morning was on a counter terror watch list, police have revealed.

 

The 25-year-old was born in Afghanistan but had been living in Australia and was known to police, but detectives say at this stage they are not treating his actions as a terror attack.

 

The man, whose name has not yet been released, was shot by police after he stabbed an overseas tourist with a knife on Mary Street around 10am today.

 

The 26-year-old male victim was walking down Mary Street with a woman, at 10am when they were approached by the man, who they say was "behaving strangely".

 

He stopped in front of them and said nothing as he pulled a knife out of his bag, police say."

New Oz $100 note covered in owls

 

Could they be more obvious?

 

New $100 note design revealed with added security measures

It’s a tiny feature, easily missed at first glance - but it makes our new $100 note almost impossible to counterfeit, the Reserve Bank says.

 

The Reserve Bank has revealed the design of the new $100 banknote which has new security features.

 

This little owl has a rolling colour effect when the note is tilted and is visible on both sides.

 

The four dots above the owl are raised bumps for people who are vision impaired.

 

The clear top to bottom window also has multiple security features - if you tilt the note you can see a three-dimensional fan with colourful lines and the colours change within the owl’s wings.

 

Other security features include tiny, clearly defined text in multiple locations on the banknote, and an owl and wattle branch that glow under UV light.

 

“Perhaps the most obvious is a clear top-to-bottom window that runs from the top to the bottom of the banknote,” Lindsay Boulton, Reserve Bank Assistant Governor, told Sunrise.

 

“There’s also micro-text on the banknote, so very small printing that is less than a quarter of a millimetre in height.”

 

As with the existing banknote, the new $100 features Sir John Monash and Dame Nellie Melba.

 

Governor Philip Lowe said Australians should feel proud of their banknotes.

 

“They are innovative and contain world-leading security features that keep the banknotes secure,” he said.

 

“The new $100 banknote celebrates the contributions that two outstanding Australians – Sir John Monash and Dame Nellie Melba – made to our society.”

 

The note features the Australian masked owl and Australia’s national floral emblem, the golden wattle, which is native to southeastern Australia and southern inland areas of NSW.

 

Existing $100 banknotes remain legal tender and can continue to be used.

Julian Assange an 'ordinary criminal' who put lives at risk, court told

 

London: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is not a free-speech champion but an ordinary criminal whose publication of secret documents put many people at risk of torture and death, a lawyer for the US government said on Monday as Assange's extradition hearing opened in a London court.

 

Assange's lawyer countered that the Australian computer expert was being victimised as a result of the "declaration of war on leakers and journalists" by the administration of President Donald Trump.

 

US authorities want to try Assange on espionage charges over the 2010 publication of hundreds of thousands of secret military documents and diplomatic cables. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison.

 

Lawyer James Lewis, representing the US government, called WikiLeaks' 2010 document deluge "one of the largest compromises of classified information in the history of the United States."

 

"Reporting or journalism is not an excuse for criminal activities or a licence to break ordinary criminal laws," he said.

 

Dozens of Assange supporters protested outside the high-security Woolwich Crown Court, chanting and setting off a horn as District Judge Vanessa Baraitser began hearing the case. Assange, 48, watched proceedings from the dock in the courtroom - brought there from Belmarsh Prison next door, where he has been imprisoned for 10 months.

 

Just before the lunch break, Assange complained that he was having difficulty concentrating and called the noise from outside "not helpful."

 

Assange has been indicted in the US on 18 charges over the publication of classified documents. Prosecutors say he conspired with US army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to crack a password and hack into a Pentagon computer and release secret diplomatic cables and military files on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Assange argues he was acting as a journalist entitled to First Amendment protection, and says the leaked documents exposed US military wrongdoing. Among the files published by WikiLeaks was video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack by American forces in Baghdad that killed 11 people, including two Reuters journalists.

 

But Lewis said Assange was guilty of "straightforward" criminal activity in trying to hack the computer. And he said WikiLeaks' activities created a "grave and imminent risk" to US intelligence sources in war zones, who were named in the documents.

 

"By disseminating the materials in an unredacted form, he likely put people - human rights activists, journalists, advocates, religious leaders, dissidents and their families - at risk of serious harm, torture or even death," the lawyer said.

 

Lewis said some informants and others who had been assisting the Americans had to be relocated after the leak, and others "subsequently disappeared."

 

While acknowledging that US authorities could not prove that anyone had been killed, Lewis said WikiLeaks' information had helped America's enemies. Documents from WikiLeaks were found in al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan after he was killed in a US attack, the lawyer said.

 

Assange's lawyer, Edward Fitzgerald, said it was unprecedented in the United States for a publisher to be prosecuted for disseminating leaked material.

 

"Julian Assange has been made an example of," Fitzgerald said. "He was the obvious symbol of all that Trump condemned."

 

The extradition hearing follows years of subterfuge, diplomatic dispute and legal drama that have led the Australian computer expert from international fame through self-imposed exile inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to incarceration in a maximum-security British prison.

 

…..

 

An end to the saga could still be years away. After a week of opening arguments, the extradition case is due to break until May, when the two sides will lay out their evidence. The judge isn't expected to rule until several months after that, with the losing side likely to appeal.

 

If the courts approve extradition, the British government will have the final say.

 

Lewis, attorney for the American government, said it wasn't the role of the British court to determine whether Assange was guilty.

 

"This is an extradition hearing, not a trial," he said. "The guilt or innocence of Mr. Assange will be determined at trial in the United States, not in this court."

ASIO boss warns of rising foreign interference and far-right extremism in Australia

 

Mike Burgess says ‘sleeper agents’ for foreign powers have lain dormant for years and threat from extremists is real and growing

 

Foreign interference in Australia is higher than it has ever been, and “sleeper agents” for foreign powers have lain undetected for years in Australia before being uncovered, the head of Australia’s domestic spy agency has warned.

 

In a wide-ranging annual threat assessment address delivered in Canberra on Monday night, the director general of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) Mike Burgess reiterated earlier security agency warnings that a terror attack in Australia is “probable”, and said that rightwing extremism, brought into “sharp terrible focus” by last year’s Christchurch massacre, was manifesting in “small cells” of adherents gathering to salute Nazi flags, inspect weapons and disseminate “hateful ideology”.

 

The intelligence chief said the threat of rightwing extremism was real and growing, and that the number of overall terrorism leads under investigation had doubled over the past year.

 

“Our view is that the threat of terrorism will remain a constant feature of the global security environment in 2020 and the threat to Australia and Australian interests will remain.”

 

Australia’s terrorism threat level remains at “probable” and would remain unacceptably high for the foreseeable future, Burgess said.

 

“The unfortunate reality is that, right now, terrorists are still plotting to harm Australians,” he said.

 

ASIO had discovered children as young as 13 being targeted by extremist recruiters.

 

“As a father, I find it truly disturbing to see cases where extremists are actively trying to recruit children who have only just started high school and are as young as 13 or 14,” Burgess said.

 

He said the level of threat Australia faced from foreign interference and espionage was unprecedented.

 

“It is higher now than it was at the height of the cold war.

 

“Indeed, some of the tactics being used against us are so sophisticated, they sound like they’ve sprung from the pages of a cold war thriller.”

 

The intelligence chief revealed for the first time the case of a “sleeper agent” sent to Australia by an unspecified foreign intelligence service.

 

“The agent lay dormant for many years, quietly building community and business links, all the while secretly maintaining contact with his offshore handlers,” Burgess said.

 

“The agent started feeding his spymasters information about Australia-based expatriate dissidents, which directly led to harassment of the dissidents in Australia and their relatives overseas.”

 

The ASIO chief said the agent was rewarded with “significant cash payments” in exchange for providing “on-the-ground logistical support for spies who travelled to Australia to conduct intelligence activities”.

 

“These are the sort of insidious activities ASIO works to detect and disrupt every day,” Burgess said, confirming ASIO had disrupted the operation.

 

ASIO has also uncovered cases where foreign spies have sought to establish sophisticated hacking infrastructure in Australia targeting computers containing sensitive and classified information. China has previously been blamed for large-scale hacking operations in Australia, including on the Australian National University.

 

Burgess said while violent Islamist fundamentalism remained ASIO’s primary concern, the threat of rightwing extremism – of the type espoused by the Australian-born Christchurch killer – was “real and growing”.

 

“In suburbs around Australia, small cells regularly meet to salute Nazi flags, inspect weapons, train in combat and share their hateful ideology.”

 

Burgess said Australians were signing up as members to international white supremacist hate groups such as The Base, where members use online platforms to share extremist rightwing ideologies and encourage each other into committing acts of violence.

 

“We expect such groups will remain an enduring threat, making more use of online propaganda to spread their messages of hate.

 

“While we would expect any rightwing extremist-inspired attack in Australia to be low capability, ie a knife, gun or vehicle attack, more sophisticated attacks are possible. And we also need to be mindful of state-sponsored terrorism as states seek to use terrorism to further their goals.”

Julian Assange was 'handcuffed 11 times and stripped naked'

 

WikiLeaks founder’s lawyers complain of interference after first day of extradition hearing

 

Julian Assange was handcuffed 11 times, stripped naked twice and had his case files confiscated after the first day of his extradition hearing, according to his lawyers, who complained of interference in his ability to take part.

 

Their appeal to the judge overseeing the trial at Woolwich crown court in south-east London was also supported by legal counsel for the US government, who said it was essential the WikiLeaks founder be given a fair trial.

 

Edward Fitzgerald QC, acting for Assange, said the case files, which the prisoner was reading in court on Monday, were confiscated by guards when he returned to prison later that night and that he was put in five cells.

 

The judge, Vanessa Baraitser, replied that she did not have the legal power to comment or rule on Assange’s conditions but encouraged the defence team to formally raise the matter with the prison.

 

The details emerged on the second day of Assange’s extradition hearing, during which his legal team denied that he had “knowingly placed lives at risk” by publishing unredacted US government files.

 

The court was told Wikileaks had entered into a collaboration with the Guardian, El País, the New York Times and other media outlets to make redactions to 250,000 leaked cables secret cables in 2010 and publish them.

 

Mark Summers, QC, claimed the unredacted files had been published because a password to this material had appeared in a Guardian book on the affair. “The gates got opened not by Assange or WikiLeaks but by another member of that partnership,” he said.

 

The Guardian denied the claim.

 

“The Guardian has made clear it is opposed to the extradition of Julian Assange. However, it is entirely wrong to say the Guardian’s 2011 Wikileaks book led to the publication of unredacted US government files,” a spokesman said.

 

“The book contained a password which the authors had been told by Julian Assange was temporary and would expire and be deleted in a matter of hours. The book also contained no details about the whereabouts of the files. No concerns were expressed by Assange or Wikileaks about security being compromised when the book was published in February 2011. Wikileaks published the unredacted files in September 2011.”

 

The Guardian’s former investigations editor David Leigh, who wrote the book with Luke Harding, said: “It’s a complete invention that I had anything to do with Julian Assange’s own publication decisions. His cause is not helped by people making things up.”

 

Assange, 48, is wanted in the US to face 18 charges of attempted hacking and breaches of the Espionage Act. They relate to the publication a decade ago of hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables and files covering areas including US activities in Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

The Australian, who could face a 175-year prison sentence if found guilty, is accused of working with the former US army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to leak classified documents.

Julian Assange attempted to warn White House, Hillary Clinton of impending WikiLeaks release, lawyer says

 

Julian Assange tried to contact Hillary Clinton and the White House when he realised that unredacted US diplomatic cables given to WikiLeaks were about to be dumped on the internet, his lawyer has told his London extradition hearing.

 

Assange is being sought by the United States on 18 counts of hacking US government computers and an espionage offence, having allegedly conspired with Chelsea Manning to leak hundreds of thousands of secret documents almost a decade ago.

 

Outlining part of his defence, Assange's lawyer Mark Summers said allegations that he had helped Manning to break a government password, had encouraged the theft of secret data and knowingly put lives in danger were "lies, lies and more lies".

 

Mr Summers said Assange attempted to warn the US Government, calling the White House and attempting to speak to Ms Clinton, then-secretary of state, saying "unless we do something, people's lives are put at risk".

 

Mr Summers said the State Department had responded by suggesting that Assange call back "in a couple of hours".

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin pledge to intervene on Malka Leifer extradition: MP

 

The President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, has told Australian MPs he will personally intervene in the extradition process of former Melbourne principal Malka Leifer, charged with child sexual abuse, if her years-long legal process drags beyond this week.

 

As he met with Scott Morrison and a handful of other politicians in Canberra on Wednesday, Mr Rivlin faced questions on Leifer’s extradition which was raised by both the Prime Minister and other MPs from both sides of politics.

 

A former principal of Melbourne’s ultra-orthodox Adass Israel girls’ school, Leifer fled to Israel in 2008 as accusations against her surfaced.

 

She has since been charged with 74 counts of child sexual abuse, with Australia lodging a formal extradition request in 2014.

 

More than 60 hearings have since taken place, with her extradition stalling over claims she is mentally unfit to stand trial and serious allegations of corruption levelled against Israel’s Deputy Health Minister for attempting to influence psychiatrists testifying in her extradition.

 

The commitment from Mr Rivlin comes after local MPs hit out at an “astounding” decision from an Israeli judge last week which threatened to further delay the extradition process.

 

According to Labor MP Josh Burns — whose electorate of Macnamara takes in the school where the alleged abuse occurred — Mr Rivlin told him he would meet with Israel’s Chief Justice as early as next week to expedite proceedings should a scheduled hearing in Jerusalem this week not progress the matter.

 

“I raised the issue of the extradition of Malka Leifer with President Rivlin on behalf of my constituents, particularly Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper,” Mr Burns said, referring to alleged victims of Leifer’s.

 

“I was pleased that President Rivlin advised me that, if hearings scheduled this week do not see this matter progress towards Malka Leifer being extradited to Australia, he will personally meet with the Chief Justice of Israel to discuss how this matter can be expedited.”

 

“This matter has dragged on far too long. These victims deserve justice and I will continue to fight until Malka Leifer is back in Australia facing trial.”

 

The Australian has also obtained a briefing letter Mr Rivlin is handing out to politicians he meets in Australia, that acknowledges the extradition proceedings “have been undermined by Leifer’s fraudulent claims of severe mental illness”.

 

It is understood the Prime Minister discussed Australia’s “strong commitment to seeing justice in the case of Malka Leifer.”

 

Mr Rivlin drew frustration from Leifer’s alleged victims when he refused to schedule a meeting with them during his visit to Australia this week.

Trump wants stronger ties with India, Japan and Australia

 

President and Modi sign $3bn defense deal with China in mind

 

NEW DELHI – India and the U.S. on Tuesday finalized huge defense deals under which New Delhi will buy advanced American military equipment, including Apache and MH60 Romeo helicopters, worth over $3 billion.

 

These items are "the finest in the world," U.S. President Donald Trump said in a joint statement with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi after talks at the end of his two-day visit. "These deals will enhance our joint defense capabilities as our militaries continue to train and operate side by side."

 

The purchases are expected to bolster India's defense capabilities against Pakistan and narrow the gap with China, the two neighbors with which New Delhi has had long-standing border disputes.

 

The deal came as both leaders hailed progress toward negotiating a trade agreement, a priority for Trump, who has in the past denounced India's tariffs on U.S. goods.

 

He said he discussed with Modi about the expansion of the so-called Quad cooperation to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific, the "importance of a secure 5G wireless network," and an economic relationship that is "fair and reciprocal."

 

The Quad is the economic and security dialogue spanning Australia, India, Japan, and the U.S. that began in 2007 and was revived in 2017 after a 10-year hiatus.

 

"Together, the Prime Minister and I are revitalizing the Quad Initiative with the United States, India, Australia, and Japan," Trump said. "Since I took office, we have held the first Quad ministerial meeting … and expanded cooperation on counterterrorism, cybersecurity, and maritime security to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific."

 

Trump received a warm welcome on arrival on Monday in Ahmedabad in Modi's home state of Gujarat where he addressed a rally of more than 100,000 in the world's largest cricket stadium.

 

In Ahmedabad, Trump said the U.S. was looking forward to providing India with some of the best and most feared military equipment on the planet. "We make the greatest weapons ever made: airplanes, missiles, rockets, ships," he said.

 

"And we're dealing now with India," he said.

 

On Tuesday, he said teams from both sides have made "tremendous progress on a comprehensive trade agreement" and that he was optimistic the two countries can reach a deal that will be of great importance.

 

At a news conference, Trump said if a trade deal happens with India it will be toward the end of the year.

 

"Previous administrations had no clue, they didn't know the problems," the president said. "We are being charged large amounts of tariffs."

 

Trump also mentioned that global energy major Exxon Mobil signed a deal with state-run Indian Oil Corp. to improve India's natural gas distribution network "so that the U.S. can export even more [liquefied natural gas] to India."

 

To further strengthen bilateral economic ties, he added the U.S. International Development Finance Corp., a government-backed lender, will be setting up a permanent presence in India.

 

"We are at a point where our relationship is so special with India. It has never been so good than it is right now," Trump said.

 

Modi said after talks with Trump that they have "agreed to start negotiations on a big trade deal."

 

Trade tensions between India and the U.S. have been on the rise since Trump took office in 2017. Trump labeled India the "tariff king," in particularly for its treatment of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, which the president mentioned again Tuesday. New Delhi took umbrage at Trump's additional levies on Indian steel and aluminum imports.

 

But the visit appears to have helped changed the relationship. Modi said Tuesday that the India-U.S. relationship will be upgraded to a "comprehensive global strategic partnership," adding that ties between the two are "people-driven and people-centric."

 

Trump steered clear of commenting on India's controversial Citizenship Amendment Act, which critics say discriminates against Muslims.

 

"I don't want to discuss that," the president said in response to a question on the law. "I want to leave that to India, and hopefully they are going to make the right decision for the people. That's really up to India."

 

Trump, however, said he and Modi did talk about religious freedom, and that the prime minister told him India has worked "very hard" for that. He said he and Modi had not discussed Monday's violent protests in Delhi over the citizenship law.

 

Local media reports said the death toll in Monday's violence had climbed to at least 11.

Former NSW Labor minister Milton Orkopoulos has parole revoked

 

Convicted paedophile and former NSW Labor Minister Milton Orkopoulos has had his parole revoked.

 

The 62-year-old was arrested at his home at Malabar, in Sydney's east, last week and charged with three counts of failing to comply with his reporting obligations.

 

The State Parole Authority (SPA) today said it revoked Orkopoulos's parole order on the basis he had breached two conditions of his parole; that he must not commit any offences and must comply with all conditions of the Child Protection Register (CPR).

 

The decision was made during a closed meeting of the SPA this afternoon.

 

Orkopoulos has been in custody since last week when he was refused bail after facing court on three counts of failing to comply with his reporting conditions.

 

The former minister was also arrested last month over two alleged breaches of parole.

 

Police allege he had failed to report changes to his personal information, as required by his parole conditions.

 

Orkopoulos's lawyer told Waverley Local Court in January that the alleged breaches related to a conversation he had with his granddaughter and an Instagram account that had been set up in his name.

 

The account was declared to police on January 8 but it was created three days prior.

 

Orkopoulos was released from Long Bay prison on parole in December after serving 11 years behind bars.

 

He was convicted of 30 drug and child sex offences in 2008 after it was revealed he had been raping minors.

 

He was ordered to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet and was banned from approaching his victims.

Rugby Australia announces Cameron Clyne's immediate resignation as chairman

 

Rugby Australia has announced the immediate resignation of Cameron Clyne as chairman, with former Wallaby and board director Paul McLean set to take on the role in the interim.

 

It was revealed in November 2019 that Clyne intended to step down from his position at the annual general meeting in March, which he held since the start of 2016.

 

However, with the AGM set to held on March 30, McLean revealed that the board has made the early decision to ensure a seamless transition for the new chairman.

WA Treasurer Ben Wyatt in shock resignation

 

Western Australian treasurer Ben Wyatt has made the shock announcement that he is quitting politics, in a major blow to the McGowan government ahead of next year’s election.

 

Mr Wyatt, the McGowan government’s stand-out performer and a man widely tipped as a future premier, said this morning he would continue to serve as treasurer before leaving parliament at the next election in March 2021.

 

He cited health issues in his family for his decision. “My (two) daughters have only ever known me in parliament…It’s the right call professionally and personally.”

 

The treasurer, who also serves as the state’s Aboriginal Affairs minister, was one of the most highly respected members of Mark McGowan’s Labor government.

 

Premier McGowan described Mr Wyatt as a “terrific person and great intellect”.

 

“I always thought he would become Premier of the state,” he said.

 

The resignation means that Labor will go to the next poll without one of its most recognisable and highly regarded figures.

East Timor leader offers resignation after coalition collapse

 

DILI, East Timor: East Timor’s prime minister said Tuesday he was quitting after a political coalition that supported him collapsed, setting up the tiny Southeast Asian nation for another round of instability.

 

Taur Matan Ruak — a one-time guerilla fighter in the former Portuguese colony later annexed by Indonesia — said he had filed a resignation letter to President Francisco Guterres, citing a “political impasse.”

 

“I was in a meeting with President (Guterres) and I asked to resign from the PM position,” Ruak told reporters in the capital Dili, adding that he would remain in the job until his resignation request was accepted.

 

Ruak was sworn in as prime minister in June 2018 following a protracted political crisis that had paralyzed the half-island nation of some 1.3 million squeezed between Indonesia and Australia.

 

That marked East Timor’s second government in less than a year in the impoverished nation that won independence in 2002 after a brutal 24-year occupation by neighboring Indonesia.

 

Born Jose Maria Vasconcelos but universally known by his nom de guerre Taur Matan Ruak — which means “two sharp eyes” — Ruak was a commander in the East Timorese resistance before becoming chief of the newly independent nation’s army.

 

He also served in the largely ceremonial role of president between 2012 and 2017.

Perth paedophile who sexually abused his daughters, stepdaughters to remain behind bars

 

A Perth father who sexually abused his daughters and stepdaughters several times between 2001 and 2006 will remain behind bars after breaching his release order on more than ten occasions.

 

The man, whose name has been suppressed to protect the identity of his victims, was released back into the community in 2018 under a supervision order subject to several conditions.

 

However, he was arrested less than a year later after he breached his release order by removing his tracking device, loitering around children's playgrounds, contacting a 16-year-old girl online and coordinating an online bisexual exploration meet and greet group.

 

The 53-year-old's criminal history stretches back to 2004, when he was sentenced to a 12-month community-based order for indecently dealing with his daughter's teenage friend.

 

In 2008, he was sentenced to eight years in jail after it was discovered he had sexually abused his two daughters, aged between 10 and 15, on five different occasions between 2001 and 2006.

 

While in custody, the father-of-four, who had separated from his wife in 2003 and started a relationship with another woman, pleaded guilty to indecently dealing with his three stepdaughters between 2003 and 2006 and was sentenced to a combined two years and nine months in jail to be served cumulatively.

 

A warrant for his arrest was also issued in Queensland in 2009 for "having carnal knowledge of or with a person's offspring or lineal descendant" in 1996 and 1997.

 

According to court documents, the 53-year-old had a difficult upbringing in a violent household.

 

He told forensic psychiatrists his offending occurred during periods of heavy drug use when he smoked more than an ounce of cannabis every two or three days and drank "approximately 5-6 cans of mixed spirits" a day.

 

But a 2018 report by forensic psychiatrist Dr Gosia Wojnarowska found his offending was a mixture of opportunistic and predatory conduct and his risk of re-offending was still high.

 

She described the father-of-four as being "emotionally immature, craving love and attention" that he had not obtained "from age-appropriate relationships due to his personality inadequacies".

 

Judge Michael Corboy found the community would be adequately protected "from the risk of the respondent committing a serious sexual offence" if he was released under a supervision order.

 

"There is nothing in the respondent's prison records to suggest he would not comply with the supervision and reporting requirements to be imposed," he said.

 

The 53-year-old was released in the community in August 2018, but was arrested in April 2019 after the prosecution alleged he had breached his supervision order conditions by removing his tracking device on three occasions, engaging in conversation with a neighbour's child, failing to attend sessions of the sex offender maintenance program and entering Kings Park despite explicit instructions not to from his corrections officer.

 

During his time in the community, he also accessed pornography sites online, joined a bisexuality exploration online group and met with a man through an online homosexual male dating site.

 

The court heard the man had experienced "difficulty since being released to the community in not looking at young females and having sexual thoughts about them" and had contacted a teenager online.

 

Judge Corboy found the 53-year-old was likely to commit a sexual offence if he was released under a supervision order and ruled he should remain behind bars.

 

"There were no further conditions that could be imposed or amendments made to the supervision order that could, in my view, adequately protect the community," he said.

Kim Beazley offers Bloomberg impromptu campaign wisdom on Bernie Sanders poll bounce

 

WA Governor and former Australian ambassador to the US Kim Beazley has used a forum in Perth to offer billionaire Michael Bloomberg impromptu advice on winning the Democratic nomination in this year’s presidential election.

 

Mr Beazley, a former deputy PM and Labor leader, took aim at Bernie Sanders, who he said would lose the race for the White House if the Democrats picked him as their candidate.

 

Mr Sanders, the 78-year-old senator who has described himself as a democratic socialist, has won early victories in Democratic primaries, leaving more moderate candidates such as Mr Bloomberg in his wake.

 

Mr Beazley, a life-long student of US politics, said if Mr Sanders became the Democrat candidate, "Trump will win".

 

"The Democrats are always very genteel, the ones that I used to come across, and they don't stick the boot in," Mr Beazley told business leaders at CEDA's Perth 2020 Political and Economic outlook lunch on Tuesday.

 

"If I was Bloomberg, after the performance the other day, I'd be putting out an ad saying 'here's a picture of Sanders on his honeymoon in the Soviet Union half-naked'," he said.

 

"That's one of the ones I'd be using. Two, here is Sanders saying he endorses the Ayatollah's regime in Iran, you get that clip.

 

"Number three, here is Sanders saying he loves [late Cuban dictator Fidel] Castro and, number four, here's Sanders avoiding almost all of the child payments he was supposed to make.

 

"And finally, here's Sanders who didn't vote for 40 years."

 

Mr Beazley said campaigns such as these would emerge as soon as Mr Sanders was endorsed.

 

He qualified his comments by noting that he was an observer of US politics.

 

"Who the Americans elect as president is their business, not ours," he said.

 

"And who we elect as Prime Minister is our business not theirs. That's always important to remember that."

 

Speaking on the US-Australia relationship, the former diplomat said it was important for officials on both sides to join the "working bees, making sure underneath that no matter what is happening on the surface, the relationship is sustained".

 

"I think by and large we do that pretty well," he said.

 

"I think the role for me and for others who have been in official positions in Australia is how do you keep the show on the road even if some of your people are spurned by what they see as emerging on the other side?

 

"And that's a challenge. Sanders might not be the candidate, if he's not the candidate and [Elizabeth] Warren's not the candidate, then I think it's likely Trump will be defeated."

 

Mr Beazley made the remarks alongside both US consul-general David Gainer and Beijing's consul-general Dong Zhihua.

 

Mr Sanders was this week defending a partial defence he mounted of the Castro regime in Cuba and remarks that although China's government was increasingly authoritarian, it had taken more people out of extreme poverty than any country in history.

 

The candidates vying to take on President Trump in November's election are preparing for next week's 'Super Tuesday' when Democratic party electors from 15 states will vote on who they prefer as their nominee.

Rivlin pledges to help extradite alleged pedophile Leifer to Australia

 

"We were very confused about it all, and we hope that [things] will move along a lot faster,” one of the victims said Wednesday.

 

President Reuven Rivlin told Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison that he will personally convey to Israeli authorities the importance of extraditing alleged pedophile Malka Leifer to Australia.

 

“We are responsible for handling this matter in an organized and efficient way,” the president said on Tuesday. “The State of Israel will not allow anyone to use it to evade the law.”

 

Rivlin clarified that he is in contact with the authorities dealing with the case in Israel and gave the prime minister the document he had received from the Israeli authorities before departing on his official visit to Australia. He noted that Israel is governed by the rule of law, and that he will continue to monitor the case when he returns to Israel.

 

Rivlin added that he understands the feelings of the Australian authorities and of the Jewish community, and will convey them to the relevant authorities in Israel.

 

Leifer, who was the principal at the ultra-Orthodox Adass Israel School in Melbourne from 2003 to 2008, fled to Israel in 2008 after allegations that she sexually abused school pupils came to light. She has evaded deportation back to Australia ever since a formal request was received by Israel in 2014 by claiming to be mentally ill.

 

Rivlin’s meeting took place on the same day that Nicole Meyer, one of Malka Leifer’s alleged victims, expressed frustration and surprise with the accommodating attitude of Judge Chana Miriam Lomp toward Leifer’s defense attorneys and their various legal and scheduling demands.

 

Speaking to the press at the Jerusalem District Court before a closed-door court hearing, Meyer also noted that she and her two sisters, who were allegedly subjected to sexual abuse and rape by Leifer, are in weekly therapy due to the ongoing trauma of the tortuous legal proceedings against their former teacher.

 

“My sisters and I were supposed to travel to Israel in September, but because of our mental health because of this case, we decided not to come – so it is definitely taking a huge toll,” said Meyer on Wednesday morning.

 

“All of us are in therapy weekly, more than once, and trying our best to heal. But at the same time, this protracted process is not allowing us to heal. That’s what keeps making it current in our lives, giving us trauma all over again, time and time again.”

 

Meyer was also asked about the recent decision by Lomp to allow Leifer’s defense attorneys to bring testimony from private psychiatrists, who have previously testified in court, about the decision of a three-member expert panel of state psychiatrists who established in January that Leifer had been feigning mental illness to avoid extradition and was mentally fit for trial.

 

Meyer said that she and her sisters had found the judge’s decision incomprehensible.

 

“That filled us with a huge amount of frustration, and we were wondering what on earth is happening here. None of it made sense, we were very confused about it all, and we hope that [things] will move along a lot faster,” she said.

 

“It’s hard to think that the system has continued the way it has with so many court dates and so many delays, but unfortunately that is the way it is and I hope it will not continue any longer.”

 

Asked about Lomp’s decision in early January to accommodate the various scheduling requests of Leifer’s defense attorneys, including their participation in legal conferences abroad and a “family day” of one of the attorneys, Meyer said that she had been surprised by the judge’s leniency in a case which is in its sixth year.

 

“If one defense attorney is not available, then just bring another one and continue the court process,” Meyer said. “I don’t know why it works like that in Israel. I definitely think in Australia it wouldn’t be like that, but I don’t have the power to do anything about it. I have to wait for closure to come.”

Far-right groups and conspiracy theories are being brought together through the internet

 

In ASIO's first-ever annual threat assessment, delivered in Canberra this week, director-general Mike Burgess warned of the rise of right-wing extremism in Australia.

 

Describing it as a "real" and "growing" threat, he emphasised the role of online communities in fostering international connections between far-right groups.

 

"Extreme right-wing online forums such as the Base proliferate on the internet, and attract international memberships, including from Australians," Burgess said.

 

"These online forums share and promote extremist right-wing ideologies, and encourage and justify acts of extreme violence."

 

Far-right extremists have been quick to recognise the potential of fringe and shadowy online spaces as an opportunity to promote their propaganda, communicate with one another and win others over to their cause.

 

But they're often not alone in these spaces.

 

Transnational conspiracy theories

 

Any serious attempt to grapple with the threat posed by the modern, digital-native and increasingly transnational far-right movement will also have to reckon with its weirder but equally disturbing twin: transnational conspiracy theories.

 

Several days before he would go on a shooting rampage in Hanau, Germany, killing nine people, 43-year old Tobias Rathjen posted a 24-page manifesto and videos to his personal website.

 

While much of the focus since the attack has been on the far-right elements of Rathjen's ideology, the documents reveal a noxious mess of conspiratorial beliefs.

 

The twisting and incoherent narratives are a smorgasbord of online conspiracy movements from both Germany and the United States.

 

In one English-language video which Rathjen calls "my personal message to all Americans", he makes claims about the existence of underground US military bases in which children are tortured and killed. (This video has been removed from mainstream platforms but has been reuploaded to fringe video-hosting platforms. The version I found had been uploaded by an Australian user).

 

This conspiracy has distinct echoes of QAnon, an increasingly transnational pro-Trump conspiracy movement.

 

QAnon adherents believe that Trump is waging a secret war with a "deep state" cabal of elite paedophile cannibals, alongside an undercover operative known as "Q" who posts coded messages on 8chan, now called 8kun.

 

Its genesis, at least in part, is drawn from the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which claimed several US restaurants and high-ranking officials of the Democratic Party were linked to an alleged human trafficking and child sex ring.

 

In 2016, a gunman attacked a pizza restaurant in Washington DC in an attempt to rescue the children he believed were being held captive and abused in the basement (the restaurant did not have a basement).

 

QAnon has been linked to violent incidents

 

The QAnon conspiracy theory was closely tied to the community of users on 8chan, the now-infamous online forum where multiple far-right extremists have posted manifestos before launching their attacks (8chan was briefly driven offline in 2019, but has since reincarnated under the name 8kun).

 

These manifestos also contain strong conspiratorial elements. Christchurch shooter Brenton Tarrant even titled his manifesto "The Great Replacement" in reference to a white supremacist conspiracy theory about a plot for the "ethnic replacement" of white people.

 

Patrick Crusius, who killed one person and injured three others at a synagogue in Poway in 2019, wrote about how "Hispanics … will turn Texas into an instrument of a political coup which will hasten the destruction of our country".

 

QAnon itself has been linked to multiple violent incidents. In the US, a QAnon supporter recently plead guilty to a terrorism charge for blocking the Hoover Dam with a homemade armoured vehicle and multiple firearms.

 

Lawyers for a man accused of killing a mob boss claim that he was radicalised by QAnon. The FBI reportedly considers QAnon to be a domestic terrorism threat.

Coronavirus: PM initiates emergency response plan as Australia prepares for global pandemic

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said the coronavirus outbreak will enter a pandemic phase, prompting the Australian government to initiate its emergency response plan.

 

Addressing the public, Mr Morrison said there is "every indication" coronavirus will become a pandemic and the risk to Australia is "very much upon us".

 

"I want to stress that these actions are being taken in an abundance of caution," said Mr Morrison.

 

Mr Morrison said the plan was triggered to "contain the impact of this virus".

 

"Together we will get through this," he said.

 

The World Health Organisation has not yet declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, but Mr Morrison said based on "expert medical advice" the government has taken "steps necessary" to contain the pandemic.

 

Mr Morrison has asked the Commissioner of the Australian Border Force to strengthen Australia's ports of entry to identify persons who may require additional quarantine.

 

The PM also stressed the declaration of a pandemic does not place additional risk on vulnerable people in the community.

 

"There is no evidence before us that children are at any greater risk, but we do believe to take care of our kids that we needed an even greater abundance of caution," said Mr Morrison.

 

"There is no need for us to be moving to stopping mass gatherings of people.

 

"You can still go to the football and the cricket and play with your friends down the street, you can go to the concert and you can go out for a Chinese meal.

 

"You can do all of these things because Australia has acted quickly, Australia has gone ahead of this at this point in time."

 

The Morrison government has also extended the travel ban on people coming from China for a further week and enacted an emergency response plan as the deadly coronavirus continues to spread globally.

 

WHY THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN WAS ACTIVATED

 

The turning point was new data showing the rate of cases being confirmed outside China was growing faster than those inside China.

 

Australia has so far had 22 cases of COVID-19, most of whom have been cleared and are now back in the community.

 

There has been no evidence of transmission within the community.

 

State and territory health ministers will meet with federal minister Greg Hunt on Friday to discuss the next steps.

 

Border Force has also been asked for advice on how to step up measures at ports of entry.

 

Education ministers will look at what steps can be taken to further protect children.

Julian Assange's extradition hearing finishes a day early

 

Part one of Julian Assange's extradition hearing has finished, a day early.

 

The case being heard in London's Woolwich Crown Court has been adjourned until May 18, when it's scheduled to resume for another three weeks.

 

It's expected witnesses will be called to the stand during this second part of the hearing.

 

Earlier in court, Assange's lawyers made an application for him to be freed from the dock, allowing the Australian to sit with them in open court.

 

Despite the move, however, the Judge refused to let Assange come out of the dock and argued that other measures could be taken for him to be able to better communicate with his lawyers.

 

Those measures include delaying the start of hearings each day so lawyers can take instructions from Assange and the possibility of the upcoming May hearings running longer than the three weeks scheduled, if necessary.

 

Earlier, the court heard Assange's alleged offences are solely political because he was trying to change US government policy by exposing wrong-doing and war crimes.

 

Barrister Edward Fitzgerald argued that Assange wanted the US government to change its foreign policy when WikiLeaks released thousands of classified military and diplomatic files in 2010.

 

"We've seen WikiLeaks did effect change, that was one of the reasons there was (US troop) withdrawal (from Iraq), we also say that the US frequently said: 'WikiLeaks opposes US policy in Afghanistan'," he said.

 

"What other purpose can there be publishing the Apache helicopter strike (video) and (US) rules of engagement showing that the war conflicted with fundamental human rights?

 

"What other point can there be to releasing the Guantanamo Bay files than to induce a government change of policy, and the same for revealing for civilian deaths in Iraq war (it) was to induce a change in government policy."

 

Mr Fitzgerald said Assange's actions and inducing a change in government policy were "intimately connected".

 

Prosecution barrister James Lewis also said that Assange's action was not aimed at changing the US government or its policy.

 

"We say, it's not and therefore will not fall into the definition of political offence," he said.

 

The barrister said there was an English definition of a political offence, which was not purely dependent on the name of the offence like espionage, which Assange is charged with in the US.

 

"Extradition is based on conduct, it is not anymore based on the names of offences," he said.

 

Mr Lewis said there was no "political struggle" going on between the US government and "other factions" like WikiLeaks when the organisation was publishing the classified files.

 

"Any bare assertion that WikiLeaks was engaged in a struggle with the US government … needs to be examined far more," he said.

 

He also said a political offence was a "dated" exemption in modern societies because the "times had changed" from when dissidents were trying to uphold liberal democracy.

 

Assange has been charged in the US with 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act and one of conspiring to commit computer intrusion over the leaking and publishing of thousands of classified US diplomatic and military files in 2010.

 

The charges carry a total of 175 years' imprisonment.

Australian Man Accused Of Abusing Young Children In Tulsa

 

TULSA, Oklahoma - Tulsa Police arrest an Australian man, accused of sexually abusing girls over a period of years. the suspect is back in Tulsa after his arrest on Monday.

 

Tulsa's fugitive warrants squad found Trevor Rombouts living with a woman and her small children and investigators say that fits his pattern.

 

The investigation started with one victim telling police Rombouts abused her as a child. Tulsa Special Victim's Unit Detective Lt. Jillian Phippen says officers quickly discovered the pattern.

 

"And as we did that, made phone call after phone call, we found out that he did molest multiple other young girls, anywhere from 2007 to present," said Lt. Phippen.

 

Police say Rombouts is 52 and a native Australian who goes by the nickname "Wombats". He's accused of abusing children in 3 cities, Tulsa, Jenks and Crane, Texas. The victims were children he knew, three children, who said they were as young as 3 to 9 years old when the abuse happened.

 

"So, it was a pattern over the years that he finds a woman with young children, or he marries a woman with young children, and then he molests him, and we knew if he was still in that position, he might still be molesting young children and we wanted to get him off the streets as soon as we could," said Lt. Phippen.

 

Each victim told police the abuse was frequent, each describing similar sex acts in their police interviews. Rombouts was arrested on 2 counts of child sexual abuse and 2 counts of lewd molestation. Lt. Phippen says a check of his past in Australia found even more cases.

 

"So, once we made that call, they did confirm that he was accused of that there, in the late '90s," she said.

 

Australian authorities told Tulsa police Rombouts had an outstanding warrant for abuse of three children; the victims, five, four and two weeks old.

Australian ‘child predator’ arrested in Oklahoma

 

An Australian man nicknamed “Wombats” has been arrested in the US and is accused of sexually assaulting children in Australia, US and possibly Europe.

 

An accused Australian child predator and fugitive who went by the nickname “Wombats” is locked up in an Oklahoma jail accused of sexually assaulting children in Australia, the US and possibly Europe.

 

Oklahoma authorities said Trevor Rombouts’ youngest alleged victim was a two-week-old baby in Victoria.

 

The 52-year-old has been on the run since Victorian police issued warrants for his arrest in the late 1990s.

 

“This clearly is a predator,” Detective Lieutenant Jillian Phippen, of the Tulsa Police Department’s special victims unit in Oklahoma, told AAP on Wednesday.

 

Tulsa detectives began investigating Rombouts last year when a victim in Oklahoma came forward to say Rombouts had assaulted her for several years when she was younger.

 

Lt Phippen said the investigation found Rombouts followed the same predatory pattern of moving in with women who had young children and then assaulting the children.

 

Two of Rombouts’ alleged US victims were in Oklahoma.

 

A third was in Texas.

 

“Once we started looking at it my detective was like, ‘there’s going to be more victims just because of his behaviour and how he was treating the victim’,” Lt Phippen said.

 

“Once he started diving into the investigation that’s what happened.

 

“We found more victims who were able to come forward and tell their story.

 

“We reached out to Australia where he lived and we received information back saying he had been looked at there for child molestation as well.

 

“Our red flags went up and we knew this was a predator and he was not going to stop.”

 

The investigation also found Rombouts had lived in Europe and he might have victims in Belgium, Lt Phippen said.

 

They tracked Rombouts down in Joplin, Missouri on Monday and took him into custody.

 

The Australian warrants from the 1990s relate to the alleged abuse of three children aged five-years-old, four-years-old and a baby just two-weeks-old.

 

Tulsa prosecutors have charged Rombouts with two counts of child sexual abuse and two counts of lewd molestation.

Leifer psychiatrist cross-examination ends

 

A two-day hearing in the Jerusalem District Court which featured the cross-examination of psychiatrists in the ongoing case against alleged child sex abuser Malka Leifer has come to a close.

 

Three psychiatrists were cross-examined in total, all of who previously deemed Leifer fit to face extradition trial.

 

The closed court hearing is one in 65 of the nearly decade long saga to bring Leifer back to Australia to face 74 charges of rape and child abuse.

 

The charges stem from her time as principal at Melbourne's Ultra-Orthodox Adass Israel School.

 

Nicole Meyer, one of the three sisters who have pressed charges against Leifer, flew from Australia at the last minute this week to be present at the hearings.

 

"I feel it was very important for me to be present at these hearings, and I'm glad I came, despite the difficulties," Meyer said in a statement released following court on Thursday.

 

The mother of four further said she plans to attend as many hearings as possible into the future until Leifer is sent back to Australia.

 

"Being in court is challenging. Not having a direct voice in the courtroom, and not understanding the language, has added to the complexity of my experience," Meyer said.

 

"But I'm grateful for the support and assistance I've received from so many, especially from those who have personally attended the lengthy hearings."

 

Manny Waks, a strong supporter of victims of sexual abuse in the Jewish community, assisted with translation for Meyer during court.

 

"I felt proud and privileged to sit beside the courageous Nicole and to update her courageous sisters, who were waiting desperately in Melbourne for developments, as they have over the past 60 plus hearings, on what was happening in the courtroom," Waks declared in a press statement.

 

"It was challenging to sit in the courtroom for such lengthy periods listening to Leifer's defence try to undermine the credibility of the latest psychiatric panel, who unanimously and unequivocally found that Leifer has been faking her illness and is fit to face justice."

 

In previous hearings, Leifer's defence stated they wanted to cross-examine further witnesses following Thursday's hearing.

 

It is likely these extra witnesses are psychiatrists the defence has previously used to enter evidence.

 

Waks added that they hope Judge Chana Miriam Lomp won't allow any additional witnesses in order for the case to finally be resolved.

 

Still, a slew of further court dates were announced in Thursday's hearing, further adding delay in bringing Leifer to an extradition trial.

 

Judge Lomp, who has long been presiding over the Leifer case, allowed the defence to submit an additional psychiatric report by March 3.

 

Further hearings will be held into mid March.

 

Despite the arduous delays, Meyer and her sisters continue to have strong hope.

 

"We hope that the process will now be expedited, and that we'll see a positive outcome shortly," Meyer said.

George Pell’s lawyers ‘have failed to identify judicial errors’

 

George Pell’s lawyers have failed to identify any errors in the Victorian Court of Appeal majority’s judicial method, prosecutors claim in further submissions to the High Court.

 

Victorian prosecutors, including Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd QC and senior crown prosecutor Mark Gibson QC, who led the prosecution in the original Pell trial, submitted that the appellate court’s role was not as a substitute for trial by jury.

 

Pell appealed against his conviction to the Victorian Court of Appeal, which held a two-day hearing in June last year and rejected his appeal in a majority 2-1 decision.

 

The High Court has set the case down for March 11 and 12 and asked the parties to provide submissions on the viewing of recorded evidence compared with reading the transcript of witnesses, including the victim.

 

The prosecution submitted this week the Court of Appeal’s role was to undertake an independent assessment of evidence to answer whether it was open to the jury to be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt on Pell’s guilt.

 

Addressing the issue of recorded evidence compared with transcript, prosecutors said the Court of Appeal had discretion on the matter and was not required to provide reasons for its decision.

 

They submitted that a court’s decision to view recorded evidence might reduce but couldn’t eliminate the jury’s benefit in seeing and hearing the evidence.

 

“A jury undertakes its task in the particular atmosphere of the trial which may not be reproducible upon appeal,” they said.

 

Another advantage for juries, they submitted, was the “worldly experience it brings to its task”, ability to deliberate as a group throughout the trial and the discipline generated by the requirement of unanimity or very high majority.

 

Pell was convicted in December 2018 on one charge of sexual penetration with a child under 16 and four counts of indecent act with, or in the presence of, a child under 16, relating to two separate incidents at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne in 1996 and 1997.

 

The first incident related to choristers J and R, who had left the procession and made their way to the priests’ sacristy, where Pell caught them drinking sacramental wine. Pell sexually abused the boys after mass in the sacristy.

 

The second incident involved Pell squeezing J’s genitals in a corridor. Prosecutors relied solely on evidence from J in the trial. The second choirboy, R, died in 2014 of a drug overdose.

 

In the High Court submissions, prosecutors claimed Pell’s counsel overstated the Court of Appeal majority’s consideration of the victim’s demeanour in their submissions when it was just one aspect of the assessment.

 

“The majority’s discussion of (the victim’s) demeanour occurred in its assessment of the applicant’s argument that (the victim’s) account was a deliberate falsity or a fantasy,” the prosecutors said.

 

“In reaching its conclusion that the jury were entitled to reject that contention, the majority took into account not only (the victim’s) demeanour but also the substance of what (he) said.”

 

The prosecution said the majority “expressly recognised” that the victim’s account could not be considered in isolation but had to be critically evaluated in light of the “opportunity evidence”.

Scott Morrison, Jacinda Ardern clash over policy to deport convicted New Zealand nationals

 

The New Zealand and Australian prime ministers have publicly clashed over the deportation of Kiwi criminals, with Jacinda Ardern calling for Australia to "stop exporting" people.

 

At a press conference, Ms Ardern told journalists Australia needed to stop sending convicted criminals who had spent most of their lives here back to New Zealand.

 

"Australia is well within its rights to deport individuals who break your laws, New Zealand does the same," Ms Ardern said.

 

"But we have a simple request; send back Kiwis, genuine Kiwis. Do not deport your people and your problems."

 

Ms Ardern and Scott Morrison were in Sydney on Friday for their annual meeting.

 

The back and forth on deportation, which Ms Ardern said was "corrosive to our relationship", dominated the conference.

 

The Federal Government has cancelled the visas of 2,633 New Zealand nationals on character grounds over roughly the past five years.

 

Ms Ardern, who faces an election this year, said some of those sent back were too young when they left New Zealand to have developed criminal tendencies.

 

"We will own our people, we ask that Australia stop exporting theirs," she said.

 

She said some people had no connections to New Zealand, making reintegration into society difficult.

 

"The success of these rehabilitation programs are reliant on a network of people, a network of family and they have none of those," Ms Ardern said.

 

She said New Zealand was not asking Australia to end its policy, but to afford its Pacific friends some leniency.

 

Mr Morrison said his government's stance was firm, and that it would expect the same treatment from other countries.

 

The New Zealand Opposition is threatening to reciprocate and send Australia's criminals back if it comes to power in September.

 

Mr Morrison indicated that would not be a problem from New Zealand or any other country.

 

"We would think that was totally understandable and we wouldn't take any offence."

 

The Prime Minister's message was clear.

 

"You commit a crime here, you're convicted, once you have done your time, we send you home," he said.

 

Ms Ardern responded to the comments by saying many people did not feel they were coming home, but being sent away from it.

 

She said she knew of people who had children in Australia and had lived there for most of the lives before being sent back after serving their time in jail.

 

"The Prime Minister used a key word in his reference just now, he said that after they serve their time, he sends them 'home'," she said.

 

"We [New Zealand] have countless that have no home in New Zealand, they have no network, they have grown up in Australia; that is their home and that is where they should stay."

 

Despite their different views on the matter, both prime ministers said they valued their relationship with one another more than with any other world leader.

Convicted child sex offender and Marist Brother William Wade pleads guilty to concealing child sex crimes

 

MARIST Brother and convicted child sex offender William Wade has made history as the first senior Catholic in Australia, and possibly only the third in the world, to plead guilty to concealing the child sex crimes of Catholic colleagues.

 

The former principal of five Marist high schools, including the flagship Ashgrove school in Queensland, entered guilty pleas today to two counts of failing to provide information to Strike Force Georgiana police in 2014 during child sex investigations into Marist Brothers Francis Cable and Darcy O'Sullivan.

 

The two counts of concealing serious offences are the first successful outcome from one of the controversial Section 316 of the Crimes Act cases, where an offence is committed if someone " knows or believes that a serious crime has been committed, and fails, without a reasonable excuse, to inform the police".

 

It is believed to be the first conceal case against the member of a religious order that has ended with guilty pleas, and one of only a handful of prosecutions in the world against Catholic Church leaders for failing to report child sex allegations to police or authorities.

 

The only such prosecutions in Australia have been in the Hunter region, including the conviction of Archbishop Philip Wilson for concealing the child sex crimes of child sex offender priest Jim Fletcher in 2018, that was overturned on appeal.

 

Wade entered the guilty pleas in Sydney District Court today before Judge Christopher O'Brien, who set a sentence date and advised the court he had been a student where Wade was principal.

 

Francis Cable (Brother Romuald) and O'Sullivan (Brother Dominic) are serving jail terms for serious child sex crimes against multiple boys at the Hamilton Marist school in the 1970s and 1980s.

 

Wade, who was principal of the Hamilton school between 1971 and 1976, was convicted of child sex offences in 2017 and served a jail sentence after an unsuccessful appeal.

 

During evidence before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in 2016 Wade said he received only one complaint about Brother Romuald while principal at the Marist Hamilton school, and none against Brothers Dominic and Patrick.

 

He told the royal commission he knew his evidence conflicted with the evidence of others, who said they reported child sex allegations about the three Marist brothers to Wade. He told the commission he did not doubt most of the abuse against multiple boys happened, but he could not recall any of the details.

 

Wade told the royal commission he could not recall ever referring any complaints about Marist Brothers staff to the order's provincial.

 

Wade said he accepted Romuald's denial in the 1970s after a child sex complaint, after Romuald said: "I thought I had been good in that area recently."

 

Royal commission chair Justice Peter McClellan challenged Wade on whether a single complaint of child sex against a Marist colleague would have stood out.

 

Justice McClellan put to Wade that he was wrong to accept Romuald's denial, which had "terrible consequences".

 

Wade said he carried "a great deal of grief and regret and sorrow about it".

 

"I should have at least informed the provincial (the head of the order) and possibly gone to the police," Wade told the royal commission in 2016.

How to get a job as an Australian spy

 

An Australian spy has revealed details about "one of the most important jobs in the world" - inside the country's top spy agency as ASIO recruits more into its ranks.

 

"Sam" told 9News she is "working to protect people from harm," describing it as "hard work, but it's very, very rewarding".

 

The former nurse revealed she changed jobs after the September 11 attacks and attacks on Australians in the Bali Bombings in 2003.

 

"It made me curious as to, to who was working to prevent these things from happening, to stop these things from happening," she told 9News.

 

"Sam" cannot reveal her real identity or even specifics of her job, due to its highly classified nature.

 

But she did offer a rare insight into the mysterious world of counter espionage.

 

"I'm an intelligence officer, and I guess broadly speaking, my job is to look at various pieces of often quite vague information and bring them together and distill them to create a picture of what somebody might be planning to do to harm Australians," she said.

 

"Coming to work for ASIO you realise how serious the intelligence business is.

 

"Unfortunately, in the past few years we have had a high operational tempo. The Australian public would be aware of a large number of disruptions and unfortunately some attacks that have occurred in Australia and around the world. This is not an issue just Australia is facing - the entire world is facing."

 

Since 2014 there have been seven terrorist attacks in Australia, but ASIO has helped prevent 17 more.

 

The agency also actively works countering foreign interference.

 

Earlier this week, in his first annual "Threat Assessment" Director-General Mike Burgess said: "terrorists are still plotting to harm Australians" and described the level of threat from foreign spies as "unprecedented".

 

"It is higher now than it was at the height of the cold war," Mr Burgess said.

 

Today, during a parliamentary inquiry into Australia's metadata laws, he revealed a scientist was "undertaking clandestine intelligence activity on behalf of a foreign government".

 

"For more than 10 years the scientist had access to the Australian government clearance holders. People with access to Australian government secrets. Thanks to retained data we managed to identify some of the scientist's contacts."

 

With ASIO hiring intelligence officers and intelligence analysts, he too has pushed the recruitment drive.

 

"Our success is built on the imagination and intelligence of our humans. We need people who can out-think and out-imagine our adversaries, and who can harness the power of technology and data alongside good old-fashioned relationship building to achieve our mission of protecting Australia," Mr Burgess said.

 

To be eligible as an officer or an analyst, applicants need to be an Australian citizen, have completed a three-year bachelor's degree and pass security vetting checks.

 

"Sam" and the Director-General are encouraging Australians from all walks of life to apply.

 

"Don't rule yourself out. We've got people from all sorts of backgrounds musicians, athletes, nurses, teachers, even a couple of ex-journalists so everyone's welcome," she said.

 

"You do have to get through our rigorous recruitment process.

 

"I'd encourage anyone to apply because I've had, am still having a great career and it's very, very rewarding."

 

Full details on all the criteria and more on how to the enter the world of one of Australia's top spy agencies, can be found here.

 

Applications close on March 9.

Army would follow US withdrawal from Afghanistan

 

All Australian troops could be out of Afghanistan within 14 months after the US and the Taliban signed a historic peace agreement.

 

Australia, along with other coalition forces, will follow the US in any troop withdrawal from the country, but there are still further negotiations to come that could derail the deal.

 

US President Donald Trump said it was "time to bring our people back home" after the US signed the deal with the Taliban, which sets into motion the potential for a full withdrawal of coalition troops.

 

The US and NATO allies have agreed to withdraw all troops within 14 months if the Taliban upholds its side of the deal, which includes a "a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire".

 

A full withdrawal would mark the end of a near two-decade war in which 41 Australian troops have been killed.

 

There are about 200 ADF personnel still serving in Afghanistan.

 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said Australia welcomed any peace agreement after "a lot of effort" had been put in over the years since coalition forces entered the country in 2001.

 

Brighter future

 

“Australians have fought alongside our allies for many years in an effort to provide a brighter future for Afghanistan," Mr Dutton told the ABC's Insiders program.

 

“It's been an incredibly important effort and if there are troop withdrawals and we'll work that out with the United States, but obviously the Taliban need to abide with any conditions on such agreement.

 

“If there's a withdrawal of coalition troops, we'll do that in line with consultations with the United States, the UK and our Five Eyes partners."

 

Asked whether he was comfortable with the Taliban being back in power, Mr Dutton said: “Well, I'm comfortable if people aren't being slaughtered and attacked and that young girls can go to school.

 

“And this will be part of the discussion and as you say, we want to make sure that the Taliban and others abide by the conditions and the intent of the agreement. But we'll wait for the detail.”

 

Security benefits

 

Mr Dutton said the long-running war had taken its toll but there had been benefits for Australia's national security in staying in the country for the past two decades.

 

“We always mark the loss of any Australian soldier in any conflict – their families still live with that pain today – but for us, there are important equities in the Middle East," Mr Dutton said.

 

"We have done an enormous amount in terms of intelligence-collection in Afghanistan, in Iraq, elsewhere, across Syria for example, and the collection of that intelligence has stopped terrorist attacks taking place in the West including in Australia, in Indonesia and elsewhere. So there are many facets to our involvement in the conflict."

 

The agreement, which followed more than a year of negotiations, lays out a timetable for the final withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

 

The deal hinges on tricky further negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government over the future of the country, including the possibility of a power-sharing arrangement and permanent ceasefire.

 

Mr Trump said he believed the Taliban wanted to "do something to show that we're not all wasting time".

 

"If bad things happen, we'll go back," he said.

 

"I'll be meeting personally with Taliban leaders in the not too distant future and will be very much hoping that they will be doing what they say.

 

"They will be killing terrorists. They will be killing some very bad people. They will keep that fight going."

 

Reviewing Australian commitment

 

Last month, Defence Minister Linda Reynolds announced the ADF had reduced its footprint in Afghanistan to about 200 personnel.

 

Senator Reynolds said the Australian government "constantly reviews" its military commitment in the country.

 

"I will continue to work closely with the US, NATO and other partners to ensure our military contribution to Afghanistan remains appropriate, including to reflect developments in the peace process," she said.

 

"Australia reaffirms its longstanding commitment to Afghanistan and ongoing support for the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces.

 

"We are committed to working with the Afghan people and government to support next steps toward peace."

Prince Andrew faces more lurid claims: New court evidence that he DID meet with his teenage accuser Virginia Roberts - despite claiming he had 'no recollection' of sex-trafficking victim - will be made public in a string of American civil lawsuit

 

Explosive new evidence undermining Prince Andrew's claim that he did not know teenage trafficking victim Virginia Roberts is set to emerge in the United States, her lawyer claimed last night.

 

In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, David Boies said further evidence linking the Duke of York with Ms Roberts will be made public as part of a string of civil lawsuits being brought in America by victims of serial paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

 

His comments came after this newspaper last week revealed that a highly respected former Royal protection officer has raised questions about Andrew's 'alibi' for the night he allegedly had sex with Ms Roberts in London.

 

Ms Roberts claims that she was flown to London by Epstein in March 2001 when she was 17 and coerced into having sex with the Duke. This was the first of three alleged sexual encounters with the Prince.

 

Andrew, 60, has categorically denied the claims, and in November he told Newsnight's Emily Maitlis: 'I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.'

 

But Mr Boies, who with his colleague Sigrid McCawley is representing Ms Roberts and seven more Epstein's victims, last night accused the Queen's second son and his advisers of 'continuing to dissemble'.

 

'There is other evidence that will come out that undercuts his assertion that he didn't know Virginia, had not been with her,' he said.

 

Referring to this newspaper's revelations last week and another report claiming Andrew was seen kissing a young blonde woman on Epstein's Caribbean island, he added: 'The evidence that has come out in the last week is important, but it is not all that is going to be coming out.'

 

Any new evidence will pile pressure on Andrew to co-operate with an FBI probe into Epstein's sex trafficking ring.

 

In a blistering interview, Mr Boies also:

 

  • Claimed further evidence will emerge showing the Duke visited Epstein's notorious £13 million New Mexico ranch where several women have said they were sexually abused;

 

  • Urged the Metropolitan Police to reopen an investigation into Ms Roberts's claims;

 

  • Condemned Andrew for refusing to co-operate with Epstein's victims;

 

  • Admitted lawyers still do not know the whereabouts of Ghislaine Maxwell, the socialite accused of recruiting girls for Epstein's sex trafficking ring.

 

Prince Andrew faces the prospect of further damning revelations about his relationship with Epstein and claims about Ms Roberts being made public between now and June as part of a slew of civil cases against the multi-million pound estate of the disgraced financier, who was found dead in his New York jail cell last August after his arrest on child sex trafficking charges. He had previously served 13 months in jail in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution.

 

Last month, US Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman, who is overseeing lawsuits brought by 16 women against the Epstein estate, ordered a so-called 'fact discovery' before cases are brought to trial. This means the victims' lawyers will be able to present new evidence, demand the publication of previously undisclosed documents and even quiz alleged co-conspirators accused of helping Epstein procure young women and underage girls for his sex ring.

 

Judge Freeman said this process should be completed by June 10. Mr Boies claims this will lead to the publication of new evidence showing that the Duke knew Ms Roberts, now 36 and going by her married surname Giuffre.

Imprisoned academic deserves more sympathy than Assange, Sharma says

 

Australians should focus their attention on securing the freedom of Melbourne academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert ahead of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, a Liberal MP and former diplomat has told federal Parliament.

 

In a speech to the House of Representatives on Monday night, Dave Sharma said Mr Assange has strong legal representation and would receive a fair hearing in court, while Dr Moore-Gilbert was trapped in an Iranian prison after being tried and convicted in secret.

 

Following the visit of independent MP Andrew Wilkie and Nationals MP George Christensen to Mr Assange in a London prison, Mr Sharma said he wished a "comparable number of Australians would show the same level of commitment and interest in the case of Dr Moore-Gilbert".

 

The former ambassador to Israel said Dr Moore-Gilbert's circumstances were "far more compelling of our national sympathy and attention".

 

The Liberal MP's comments come amid unconfirmed reports that at least three prisoners may have contracted the COVID-19 infection in the Iranian prison where Dr Moore-Gilbert is being held.

 

Dr Moore-Gilbert, who most recently worked as a lecturer in Islamic studies at the University of Melbourne, was arrested in September 2018 while at an educational conference. She was later convicted of espionage.

 

Mr Sharma, who met with the Iranian ambassador to Australia on Monday, said Dr Moore-Gilbert was being held far from home, in very trying conditions, and her future was bleak.

 

"In late 2019, Dr Moore-Gilbert was tried and convicted of espionage and sentenced to ten years in prison," Mr Sharma said.

 

"It was a trial that was held in secret, and at which she did not appear to receive independent legal representation. An appeal against her sentence failed."

 

"I know many in Australia are following the case of Julian Assange, including several members of Parliament who have taken a particular interest in this case. My own view is that I have faith in the rule of law, due process and the independence of the judiciary in the United Kingdom."

 

"He will get a fair hearing in court, and justice will ultimately be served."

 

Mr Sharma said the Wikileaks founder had "strong and independent legal representation in an open trial, and before an impartial judiciary".

 

"The charges he faces are known, and he has a spirited defence team acting on his behalf," he said.

 

"In one of Dr Moore-Gilbert's letters, she wrote 'I feel like I am abandoned and forgotten.' Let us all do everything we can to let Dr Moore-Gilbert and her family know that we will not abandon her, that we will not forget her, and that we will advocate ceaselessly on her behalf to secure her release."

 

In letters smuggled out of prison, Dr Moore-Gilbert said Iran tried to recruit her as a spy in exchange for her release, an offer she appears to have rejected.

 

She is serving a 10-year sentence but has described being shown two conflicting sentences: one outlining 13 months' imprisonment and the other a decade-long term.

 

In a letter to her "case manager", Dr Moore-Gilbert wrote: "Please accept this letter as an official and definitive rejection of your offer to me to work with the intelligence branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

NZ deputy PM Winston Peters slams Peter Dutton over response to Jacinda Ardern deportation comments

 

New Zealand’s Deputy Prime Minister has lashed Peter Dutton for disrespecting his country when making a “highly emotive” suggestion Jacinda Ardern had only raised issue with Australia’s deportation laws to win votes at her upcoming election.

 

Winston Peters accused the Home Affairs Minister for politicising what he said most New Zealanders saw as a valid issue, and said New Zealand didn’t “make a song and dance” after an Australian citizen carried out a massacre in Christchurch in 2019.

 

Mr Peters comments come a after New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern reinforced her view that Australia’s deportation policy is “regrettable” on Monday, hours after Mr Dutton launched an attack on her over comments she made at a press conference in Sydney last week.

 

Responding to Ms Ardern, who told Scott Morrison that he was deporting “your people and your problems” and not “genuine Kiwis”, Mr Dutton reasoned Ms Ardern was going into an election campaign and that Australia had no regrets about the number of visas its cancelled and criminals it has deported to New Zealand.

 

Mr Dutton also said: “I sleep well at night knowing that deporting pedophiles from our shores mean that more Australian children won’t fall victim to that paedophile, and I’d want to make sure that we have a great migration system.”

 

On Tuesday, Mr Peters said Mr Dutton had chosen a “highly emotive” example by mentioning paedophiles, and said Australia’s policy was unfair.

 

“He’s wrong,” Mr Peters told ABC Radio about the suggestion that raising issue with the deportation policy was an election tactic.

 

“We’ve been saying it ever since our special relationship changed in 2001.

 

“Of all countries Australia should understand the unfairness of deportation for so called crime reasons.

 

“Australia’s foundation was a foundation of awful unfairness to good people and here we are in 2020 and we’re having this dispute about this matter.

 

“They (Australians) believe in a fair go, and fair play. And If they knew what was going on here I think they wouldn’t support it either.

 

“You’ve sent thousands back to New Zealand and we’ve sent a handful back to you.

 

“When you send back people who have been in Australia since year one or year two, you’ve lost the plot.

 

“You can pick that highly emotive case of somebody who is a sexual predator.

 

“If they’ve arrived in Australia in year one its quite possible that the formation of that predatory mind was an Australian cultural experience and not a New Zealand cultural experience.”

 

“We had a mass murderer come to this country from Australia. Did we make a song and dance with Australia about that? It was the worst tragedy we’ve ever had, 51 people lost their lives … far worse than Port Arthur. And nobody in my country sought to abuse Australia about that. That’s my point. We want a fair go and we want a thing called respect.”

 

“We’ve been friends for centuries, don’t ruin it for some political opportunism which originates in Australia not New Zealand.”

 

Asked if New Zealand should deport more Australians in response, Mr Peters said: “two wrongs don’t make a right.”

 

He also warned that criminals deported from Australia have created serious gang violence issues in his country.

 

“You need friends in Australia, so do we. We have got a great deal in common far more than any other two nations. Let’s not spoil it, let’s not behave this way, let’s not politicise this matter.”

Allegations against former St Kevin's head of junior school referred to police by child safety authorities

 

Child safety authorities have made numerous referrals to Victoria Police over allegations about teachers following a Four Corners investigation into Melbourne's prestigious boys' school, St Kevin's College.

 

St Kevin's new acting principal, John Crowley, Victoria's Commissioner for Children and Young People (CCYP) and the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) have been given information containing potential concerns of conduct about several teachers which has then been passed on to police for investigation.

 

Four Corners understands that at least four referrals by the CCYP to Victoria Police relate to Peter Finnigan, who had been a very senior member of staff at St Kevin's and other prominent Catholic boys' schools around Australia.

 

St Kevin's has been in the spotlight since a Four Corners investigation in mid-February revealed how the school did not support a student victim through a child sex offence trial.

 

Five teachers have left St Kevin's College since the story aired including the headmaster and his deputy following criticism of the school's handling of complaints.

 

Victoria's Regulations and Safety Authority is also investigating St Kevin's response to complaints after the State's Education Minister, James Merlino, raised concerns.

 

Mr Finnigan, a former Christian Brother, was head of the St Kevin's junior school until 2011 and then taught at the senior campus.

 

He left in 2014 to become assistant principal at Brisbane's St Joseph's Gregory Terrace.

 

Mr Finnigan is now dean of the junior school at another prominent Melbourne Catholic boys' school, Mazenod College in Mulgrave, in the city's south-east.

 

St Kevin's College notified Mazenod's principal, Tony Coghlan, about the concerns on February 20.

 

Mr Finnigan went on leave the following day pending the results of an independent investigation commissioned by the school.

 

"As Mazenod College is the teacher's current employer, it is our responsibility to report the allegations arising from his previous school to the CCYP," Mr Coghlan said.

 

"It's our legal responsibility, but it's also the right thing to do," he said.

 

Mr Coghlan declined to comment on the details of any current investigations, but reassured parents that "the safety and wellbeing of students in our care is paramount."

 

"The college has been working diligently with the other school to ensure a thorough and fair investigation."

 

In a statement to Four Corners, Victoria Police said they had received several reports of incidents.

 

"The reports, and any other information received by police, will now be assessed.

 

"While this process is underway it would be inappropriate to comment further."

 

Finnigan gave evidence at Cardinal Pell's trial

 

Mr Finnigan became publicly known when he gave evidence in the trial of Catholic Cardinal George Pell, as he was the St Patrick's Cathedral choir marshal at the time when two teenage choirboys were abused by Pell.

 

After his evidence, in which the court heard he was a strict disciplinarian and would have known if the two boys had gone missing after mass, Mr Finnigan walked past the prisoner's dock and shook Pell's hand.

 

County Court Chief Judge Peter Kidd expressed his disappointment to the defence team that this had taken place and said, "It's not a good look, and the jury would have noticed."

 

Chief Judge Kidd then told the court that witnesses were no longer permitted to walk past the dock where Pell was sitting.

 

'We cannot be complacent': Victoria's Children Commissioner

 

Victoria's Commissioner for Children and Young People, Liana Buchanan, said she could not discuss particular cases, but said that concerns raised about any potential conduct must be fully investigated.

 

"I commend the courage of those who have taken the confronting decision to speak out," Ms Buchanan said.

 

"We cannot be complacent and we cannot assume organisations are always prioritising children's safety over their own reputations," she said.

 

Most states now have very strict mandatory reporting laws for staff in schools.

 

Anyone found to have not disclosed to authorities when they have a reasonable belief about child safety risks can be criminally prosecuted in Victoria.

Boys Club: Private school privilege and a culture of cover up | Four Corners

 

Published on 17 Feb 2020

 

Last year, St Kevin's found itself in the middle of a public relations nightmare when a video emerged of "Skevies" boys shouting out an offensive chant on a public tram.

 

The school says it "challenges its young men to become the saints and scholars of the modern era". But a Four Corners investigation has uncovered other incidents that point to a systemic problem.

 

Despite the school's insistence that it does not tolerate bad behaviour, Four Corners has uncovered evidence of how a desire to protect reputation at all costs has allowed a toxic culture to flourish.

Mum jailed over 'depraved' abuse of young daughter at sex parties

 

A Perth mother has been jailed for horrific crimes involving bringing her eight-year-old daughter to group sex parties.

 

The girl, now 13, watched from another room as her 41-year-old mother was handed a 28-year jail sentence for what the judge called her "depraved and perverted" crimes – the longest sentence in WA history.

 

The woman's former partner, and the young girl's stepfather, was jailed for 26 years for crimes against his two biological daughters, who are now adults.

 

The Perth court heard the mother's biological daughter was abused, drugged and forced to watch pornography and film graphic sex acts.

 

The crimes began when she was just four.

 

Her younger brother was also abused from the age of three.

 

Prosecutors said the crimes never would have been exposed if not for the discovery of a camera memory card containing the footage, at a Nedlands apartment.

Fears private details of Defence Force members compromised in database hack

 

A highly sensitive military database containing the personal details of tens of thousands of Australian Defence Force (ADF) members was shut down for 10 days due to fears it had been hacked.

 

The ABC can reveal Defence Force Recruiting's outsourced electronic records system was taken offline and quarantined from other military networks in February, while IT specialists worked to contain an apparent security breach.

 

Since 2003, the Powerforce database has stored sensitive information about ADF recruits, under a contract awarded to the ManpowerGroup company.

 

Details stored on the online system include medical exams, psychological records and summaries of initial interviews with potential recruits.

 

The Defence Department acknowledged a "potential security concern" but suggested an investigation found there was no evidence of data being stolen.

 

"The security of information systems and personnel data is of paramount importance to Defence," a spokesman said in a statement.

 

"Due to a potential security concern, some elements of the Defence Force Recruiting Network (DFRN) were proactively taken offline on February 2, 2020. Normal operation resumed on February 12, 2020.

 

"An investigation did not identify any evidence to suggest a compromise of information had occurred."

 

A source familiar with the investigation said the "security concern" was detected before Christmas and sparked fears within Defence that hackers may have accessed the DFRN.

 

"Over the summer holidays, crisis meetings were held twice a day to deal with the situation," a Defence insider told the ABC, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

 

"During this period, email contact between Defence Force Recruiting and computers connected to the Defence Department's protected network was suspended."

 

Soldiers-turned-politicians demand answers

 

Liberal MP Andrew Hastie is among tens of thousands of serving ADF members and veterans whose personal details are stored in the Powerforce database.

 

The former SAS captain and chairman of Parliament's Intelligence Committee described the potential database breach as a "very concerning development".

 

"Our government and defence networks should be fortresses — no breach can be considered small," the Liberal MP said.

 

"For Defence to take this offline for 10 days suggests a fairly sophisticated actor."

 

His concerns are shared by Labor backbencher and former commando Luke Gosling, who is demanding more answers about the possible hack.

 

"A whole range of information that we wouldn't want to go into the wrong hands — the Federal Government needs to let us know what's happened," he said.

 

"There needs to be a thorough investigation into this."

 

ManpowerGroup Australia said it was "aware of a potential issue identified with the Defence Force Recruiting Network (DFRN), requiring Defence to proactively take elements of this network offline".

 

"All elements of the DFRN have since been restored to full operations," a spokesperson told the ABC.

 

Last year, Minister for Defence Personnel Darren Chester announced a two-year extension to the recruiting services contract with ManpowerGroup.

 

Defence a regular target for foreign hackers

 

Revelations of a possible breach of the Defence Force Recruiting Network follows confirmation that a "sophisticated actor" had accessed student data from the Australian National University in 2018.

 

Defence insiders have blamed China for the massive hacking operation, which included records of numerous military personnel who had studied at the ANU's National Security College.

 

In 2017, cyber thieves hacked into the computer system of a national security contractor, stealing large amounts of the defence suppliers' data.

 

Details of the multi-billion-dollar Joint-Strike Fighter and P-8 Surveillance plane programs were among information stolen from an Adelaide-based defence subcontractor by hackers.

 

Intelligence gathering by the Australian Signals Directorate was involved in forensic analysis of the attack and it was alerted a hacker had been inside the subcontractor's computer system for five months.

 

The ASD investigators codenamed the hacker "Alf" after the Alf Stewart character from the Australian TV program Home and Away.

 

It was not hard to crack the password in that case, the system's username was "admin admin" and the password was "guest guest".

 

In 2016, Four Corners revealed the Defence research division had been breached by hackers.

 

Intelligence sources said they suspected the hackers in the cases were sponsored by Beijing.

 

At the time, the Prime Minister's then cyber security adviser Alistair MacGibbon said the Australian Government was "attacked on a daily basis".

Five Eyes closes on tech child sex deal

 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton will meet security ministers from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance in Washington on Thursday, in a bid to finalise a global agreement that would force Facebook and Google to help shut down live streaming and sharing of child sex abuse.

 

The top-level forum to be hosted at the White House will coincide with the introduction of a bill today to the Australian parliament that would enact mirror laws with the US CLOUD Act.

 

This would allow reciprocal rights for both US and Australian security agencies to issue warrants for data held offshore by cloud providers in hunting down terrorists and child sex networks.

 

Mr Dutton has led a campaign with US Attorney­General William Barr and Britain’s Home Affairs secretary Priti Patel to force the tech companies and online platforms to co-operate with security agencies in stopping the viewing and live streaming of child sex material.

 

At the meeting it is hoped that a set of landmark “voluntary principles” will be agreed on that will establish systems for online companies to deal with criminal use of their platforms. They will include the threat of forcing the industry to act through legislation if required.

 

Mr Dutton told The Aust­ralian before leaving for Washington that the agreement, if reached, would reflect the government’s expectations of the tech industry.

 

“Nothing represents the darkest corners of the internet like child sexual abuse,” the Home Affairs Minister said.

 

“It is here the most unspeakable crimes — the torture of toddlers, the rape of children and the sexualisation of minors — occur. But speak about them we must, because giving a voice to the profound and enduring harm experienced by the victims and survivors of these crimes is critical to stopping them from happening to just one more child.

 

“When it comes to tackling child abuse committed on online platforms and services, the digital industry has a vital role to play.

 

“The voluntary principles will help industry optimise these ­efforts. They reflect governments’ expectations of digital industry, and are scalable and practical to implement across various platforms — from search engines to gaming services to social media networking sites.”

 

The Five Eyes alliance is a security and intelligence-sharing coalition between Australia, the US, Britain, Canada and New Zealand. It is regarded as the most expansive global security agreement.

 

Mr Dutton has been vocal in his condemnation of the tech giants — Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Roblox, Snap and Twitter — for dragging the chain and rolling out ever more sophisticated encryption that would keep terrorists and child-traffickers hidden from law-enforcement agencies.

 

At a meeting of the Five Eyes Ministerial Council in Britain in July last year, tech companies were issued a veiled threat that the governments of the alliance were prepared to use legislative means to “compel” the companies.

 

It was then agreed that a set of voluntary principles be established that would involve a framework and systems allowing tech companies to help shut down the sharing of child abuse material and live streaming of terrorist attacks — such as the Christchurch massacre — on their platforms.

 

The White House roundtable forum will hear from victims and survivors of online child sex abuse.

 

Industry representatives will also attend.

Has Australia’s leader learned from the catastrophic fires? The coronavirus is a test.

 

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was mugged by reality in December. The coronavirus has given him a second chance — and he’s embracing it.

 

In December and January, Australia was consumed by unprecedented bush fires. Morrison played down the threat, refusing to take expert counsel and declaring that the fires were nothing out of the ordinary. “Sure,” he said at one point, while talking of Sydney, “we’re going through tough times. You know, it’s not the first time Australia and, in particular this city, has gone through difficult times before.”

 

He even went on a family holiday to Hawaii, as if to prove to himself that nothing special was occurring.

 

Those decisions cost him dearly. He was excoriated when he finally visited the fire front and criticized by those on his own side of politics. And he saw his own popularity dive in opinion polls.

 

Eventually, he apologized and, belatedly, showed some leadership.

 

Then along came the coronavirus.

 

The difference in response could not have been starker. From the start, the Australian government took aggressive action. Australia became one of the first countries to stop incoming flights from those parts of China most affected by the virus. Restrictions on travelers and students who had visited China followed, despite the hefty economic cost and backlash.

 

Then, late last week, the prime minister announced that Australian experts believed the virus was already at pandemic levels, a classification the World Health Organization has been slow to embrace, and is activating the country’s pandemic plans. The government followed up with a ban on flights from Iran and is considering restrictions on those arriving from South Korea and Italy.

 

Why, compared with the bush fires, did the Morrison government respond so strongly?

 

Some say the government is merely playing to its strengths. Morrison has long positioned himself as the king of border security. As minister for immigration and border protection, he was the chief architect of Australia’s controversial system of offshore detention, a harsh policy designed to limit boat arrivals by would-be refugees.

 

…..

 

There’s a belief within contemporary politics that falsehoods, if asserted strongly enough, and often enough, will always win the day. The master of the genre, of course, is President Trump, who has zigzagged on the coronavirus — sometimes taking it seriously, but also at times playing down the virus and saying the situation is “very well under control.”

 

That Trump love of spin has long been embraced by Morrison. A former marketing man, he has been confident about the power of confident assertion. In the past months, he has defended members of his administration on other issues, proclaiming that nothing illegal had happened, even in cases in which it was clear there had been missteps. He has sung the praises of coal, even while climate change exacerbated Australia’s farm-destroying drought. And, most infamously, he talked down the fires as they ravaged his country.

 

That last attempt at ignoring reality went particularly poorly. By the end of summer, at least a billion animals, birds and reptiles were lost in the Australian fires. Add to that the frogs, fish, platypuses and insects not included in that figure. More than 20 percent of Australia’s forests were burned, and more than 3,000 homes were lost. In the country’s big cities, smoke filled the streets, slipping a political message about climate change under every door and through every window.

 

And 34 Australians lost their lives.

 

Political rhetoric is a fine thing. A well-honed speech can turn a crowd. But, in Australia this summer, our political class might have learned the limits of denialism.

 

Denial will get you only so far. In the end, there’s a reckoning. Governments, such as those in Iran and China, that tried to ignore or play down the virus are already paying the price.

 

This time around, Australia’s prime minister is comparatively ahead of the game. He has discovered a taste for science — and for action.

 

Whether it’s climate change, bush fires or a coronavirus, reality will eventually assert itself. Maybe Australia’s Morrison has finally learned the lesson: Why not face it first?

Australian Signals Directorate has already spied on Australians, boss confirms

 

Rachel Noble tells Senate estimates the agency has sought ministerial approval to gather intelligence on Australians

 

The Australian Signals Directorate has already spied on Australians in the last year, invoking “rare circumstances” and seeking ministerial approval to extend its powers in an unspecified number of cases.

 

ASD’s director general, Rachel Noble, indicated in Senate estimates on Wednesday that although the focus of the agency’s powers was directed at gathering intelligence about people or organisations outside Australia, it had also produced intelligence about Australians.

 

The evidence follows the home affairs department secretary, Michael Pezzullo’s, confirmation on Monday that “detailed consideration” is under way to better use law enforcement to tackle “evils” on the dark web.

 

In June 2019, the News Corp journalist Annika Smethurst’s home was raided after she reported on government plans to extend ASD’s spying powers to Australians.

 

The home affairs minister, Peter Dutton, dismissed the report as “absolute nonsense” but has since repeatedly called for a public debate about extending the powers, as recently as February.

 

Noble said that “while much of our cybersecurity role, and the protection of Australia’s digital borders, is conducted domestically – ASD is prohibited by legislation from producing intelligence on Australian persons except in rare circumstances, and only then under the authority of a ministerial authorisation”.

 

“This is an important safeguard, and one that is fundamental to ASD’s work,” Noble said in an opening statement tabled at the hearing. “Our responsibility to protect the online safety and privacy of Australians is paramount.”

 

Asked by senator Jacqui Lambie if any of the “rare circumstances” justifying production of intelligence on Australians had occurred in the last 12 months, Noble replied: “Yes.”

 

Noble took on notice follow-up questions about the number of incidents and how that compared with previous years.

 

Noble declined to answer what the circumstances were, explaining that to give an example would reveal classified information.

 

Earlier, in her statement, Noble said the Australian Cybersecurity Centre had “responded to over 1,275 cybersecurity incidents” since July, more than five a day.

 

The defence minister, Linda Reynolds, said there was “currently no proposal before government” to extend ASD’s domestic spying powers and noted that the home affairs department was responsible for policy development.

 

Noble said that home affairs was considering the challenges of “the dark web, the proliferation of cyber crime and the horrors therein”.

 

ASD’s role was to be consulted on technical advice about its own powers “to help them develop a clear view about where there are gaps”, she said.

 

In July 2018, the government expanded ASD’s functions to include prevention and disruption of cybercrime conducted outside Australia, which included the power to do so for crimes undertaken or enabled by an Australian person offshore “in special circumstances, subject to authorisation by the minister”, she said.

 

Noble denied that ASD had given advice about extending its powers to the disruption of cyber crime on Australian telecommunications infrastructure.

 

On Monday, Pezzullo said the government “will soon consider a new cybersecurity strategy to succeed the strategy that was launched in 2016”.

 

Pezzullo said that while “connectivity is a positive force for global human interaction and prosperity, in the shadowy creases of the surface web lies the demonically evil phenomenon known as the dark web”.

 

“As I’ve previously advised this committee, it is the expert view of my colleagues and myself that the only way to hunt and disrupt on the dark web is to better use the lawful capabilities of our law enforcement and technical intelligence functions in closer partnership and under strict oversight.

 

“As ministers have said, this is something to which detailed consideration should be given. That process is under way.”

 

The Australian federal police wants the power to be able to call in the ASD when its hunt for cyber criminals, including those related to child abuse and terrorism, lead back to Australian borders.

 

In February, the AFP commissioner, Reece Kershaw, told the National Press Club while the AFP is happy with its current powers “there are some challenges there in some additional legislation [that is required]”.

Border officials in coronavirus quarantine after child-like sex doll discovery

 

Eight Australian Border Force officials are in quarantine for coronavirus after executing a search warrant at the home of a man whose partner returned from South Korea and has been self-quarantined.

 

Border Force began investigating Brent Hazleton, from Albion Park, south of Wollongong, earlier this year, after a package arrived in Australia in December last year that allegedly contained a child-like sex doll.

 

The package was "described as containing a clothing display model," ABF said in a statement on Thursday.

 

Mr Hazleton was stopped by Border Force officials at Sydney Airport when he returned from an overseas holiday on February 22. He was interviewed but not arrested, and allowed to leave after his phone was seized.

 

"A later forensic examination of the man's phone revealed a folder [allegedly] containing child abuse material," the statement said.

 

A search warrant was executed at Mr Hazleton's home on Wednesday and he was taken to Lake Illawarra police station.

 

He was charged with two counts of intentionally importing child sex dolls into Australia and one count of possessing child abuse material.

 

Possessing a child-like sex doll is punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment, following amendments to the Criminal Code in September last year.

 

Mr Hazleton's girlfriend Bethany Alwert, who is believed to have interacted with arresting officers and Border Force officials, has been in self-imposed quarantine after returning from a trip to South Korea.

 

On Wednesday, she was coming to the end of the 14-day quarantine period and was displaying no symptoms.

 

Border Force has since put the eight officers involved in the search warrant into quarantine as they await Ms Alwert's test results.

 

Ms Alwert has not been charged with any offences.

 

Mr Hazleton was granted bail by police to appear in Port Kembla Local Court on April 22.

 

It comes two months after a Singaporean student in Perth was charged with the same offences.

 

The use of child-like sex dolls "may lead to an escalation in child sex offences—from viewing online child abuse material to contact sexual offending," ABF Acting Superintendent of Investigations NSW John Fleming said in a statement on Thursday.

 

"This arrest shows our officers are committed and trained to detect, investigate and prosecute those who seek to import this abhorrent material into our community."

Resignations in the news

 

Mike Baird privately rules out return to politics after quitting NAB

 

Former NSW premier Mike Baird has told associates he has no intention of returning to politics after stepping down as chief customer officer of the National Australia Bank after three years at the lender.

 

Mr Baird joined NAB six weeks after stepping down from state politics in 2017 to lead the institutional arm of the bank and moved to consumer banking the following year. The bank said in a statement to the ASX on Thursday morning Mr Baird will leave the role on April 15 and take a break before considering new opportunities.

 

Mr Baird stood by NAB as its reputation took a hit during the banking royal commission, including harsh criticism of former chief executive Andrew Thorburn and chairman Ken Henry in commissioner Kenneth Hayne's final report.

 

Mr Baird was rumoured to be among the candidates for the chief executive role after Mr Thorburn's departure following the commission's scathing findings, but the bank eventually tasked former Commonwealth Bank retail boss Ross McEwan with rebuilding its battered reputation as its new CEO.

 

It was reported the timing hadn't been right for Mr Baird to spend the necessary time away from Sydney as the leader of the Melbourne-based lender, but some observers also expressed doubts about his ability to climb to the top, saying he lacked the operational experience to lead a big four bank.

Mystery over Northern Territory tourism chief executive Simonne Shepherd’s sudden resignation

 

THE chief executive of the Territory’s Tourism and Culture department resigned abruptly yesterday.

 

Simonne Shepherd advised staff in an email that she would walk away from the job on March 20.

 

A government statement said Ms Shepherd, who maintained a very low profile, was leaving the Territory for family reasons.

 

However, mystery surrounds whether there were additional reasons behind the departure.

 

The NT News understands many in the industry had been lobbying for a change within the Tourism department due to issues which can not be revealed for legal reasons.

 

The NT News is not suggesting the push for change related specifically to Ms Shepherd’s role.

 

The Territory is also on the lookout for chief executives for the education and housing departments.

 

The CEO of NT Major Events, Tim Watsford, has also resigned and is due to leave in April.

 

Current tourism department deputy CEO Andrew Hopper will initially act in the role of chief executive following Ms Shepherd’s departure.

Freedom of Speech ‘No Longer Exists’ in Australia and the UK: Katie Hopkins

 

Stringent government control and oppressive social media platforms are forcing Australians to self-censor themselves, according to controversial media personality Katie Hopkins.

 

Ms Hopkins, who is known for her strident support of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, says social media giants like Twitter and Facebook often punish those whose views fall out of the mainstream.

 

She told Sky News freedom of speech, which was once the bedrock of democracy, “no longer exists” in many western nations.

 

“Frankly, no one would defend freedom of speech to their death because we (Australia and the UK) don’t have it anymore,” she said.

 

“Good Australians that I know and I love, they self-censor everywhere they go because they can no longer speak about how they think or how they feel.

 

“It’s the mechanism of control.”

For at least the second time, POTUS tweets at @abc but "incorrectly" tags Australia's @abcnews instead.

 

POTUS was ostensibly addressing the American ABC news coverage. Note that the Australian ABC took Trump to task the last time Trump "accidentally" tweeted at them when he seemed to be addressing America's ABC.

 

Of course, there is no way this is a coincidence. There is no way this is an accident.

 

Trump is trolling the Cabal-controlled @abcnews of Australia for a reason.

Joe Hockey’s claims on Alexander Downer jeopardising Five Eyes ‘not credible’

 

The nation’s top diplomat says Joe Hockey’s claim that Alexander Downer jeopardised the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance by reporting Trump campaign links with Russia is “not credible”.

 

After his retirement as Australia’s ambassador to the US, Mr Hockey criticised Mr Downer — a former UK high commissioner — for his diplomatic cable that led to the Muller probe into the Trump campaign. “Australia was under pressure on Five Eyes because of the whole Downer issue,” Mr Hockey told Nine newspapers.

 

“The FBI and CIA were under profound attack, and the Downer issue could have gone really badly for us.”

 

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade secretary Frances Adam­son told a Senate estimates hearing that the comments were “just so far from the truth it was my assumption he had not made those remarks — It was not credible at all”, she said.

 

In a now-famous 2016 encounter, Trump aide George Papadopoulos told Mr Downer in a London bar that Russia had damaging material on Donald Trump’s presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.

 

He later relayed the information to Canberra via a diplomatic cable, and also told the charge d’affaires of the US ­embassy in London.

 

Ms Adamson also expressed concern about comments made by current high commissioner to the UK, George Brandis, who enthusiastically endorsed Boris Johnson’s elevation as Prime Minister late in 2019. Mr Brandis told a British think tank the leadership change was a case of “cometh the hour, ­cometh the man”, adding there was a ­“spirit of optimism that just drips from him”.

 

Ms Adamson said there was often a “particular warmth” between politically appointed diplomats and their counterparts in the countries where they served, but DFAT took its apolitical position seriously, and expected its diplomats to behave professionally at all times.

Consular officials pressured over trial conditions facing Julian Assange

 

Australian officials are confident Julian Assange is being afforded due process during his extradition trial in London.

 

Australian officials have been pressured over whether Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is being afforded due process during his extradition trial in London.

 

The WikiLeaks founder has complained about being unable to instruct his lawyers from his glass-encased dock and says he can't hear the proceedings given the noise outside the courtroom.

 

Consular officials and officers from the high commission in London are attending each day of Assange's trial and providing summaries of the proceedings to Foreign Minister Marise Payne and senior officials.

 

"At this stage, we have not received any information to suggest that anything other than due process is being afforded to him," DFAT executive Andrew Todd told a Senate estimates hearing on Thursday.

 

Last year, Mr Assange withdrew consent for information about him to be given to the Australian government.

 

The Wikileaks founder reported being handcuffed 11 times, stripped naked twice and having his case files confiscated after the first day of his trial.

 

"We sought advice from the prison in relation to those reports," Mr Todd said.

 

"We were advised that other than the issue with legal documents, they were standard prison-to-court and court-to-prison procedures."

 

Senator Payne said there had been "an acknowledgement an error was made" in relation to the legal documents and they were returned.

 

"I trust we have determined that won't occur again," she told the committee.

 

It was revealed last week that meetings between Mr Assange and his lawyers inside the Ecuadorian embassy in the United Kingdom were allegedly secretly filmed.

 

Those claims are subject to separate legal proceedings in Spain, which Australian officials are also monitoring.

 

The UN special rapporteur on torture has raised concerns about the continued deterioration of Julian Assange's health since his arrest and detention earlier this year, warning his life was at risk.

 

Mr Assange is currently is being held at the high-security Belmarsh Prison.

 

Independent MP Andrew Wilkie, who recently visited Mr Assange inside the facility, told SBS News the Wikileaks founder is effectively being held in "solitary confinement" and his attendance in court sees him "quarantined from his lawyers."

 

"He is being treated very poorly and in my opinion not consistent with what we would regard as reasonable standards for someone who is not actually charged with anything," he said.

 

"He's basically just been detained facing an extradition trial - I think it is completely unreasonable."

 

Senator Payne said she raised Australia's expectations about Mr Assange's treatment with British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab during his visit to Canberra three weeks ago.

 

Mr Assange is facing extradition to the United States on 17 espionage charges, including conspiring to receive, obtaining and disclosing national security information.

 

All bar one offence carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, but Australian officials have been advised people charged with similar offences in the United States have not received cumulative sentences.

 

None of the offences Mr Assange faces carries the death penalty, but department officials confirmed he could face further charges in the United States if he is extradited.

Attorney General William P. Barr Announces the Launch of Voluntary Principles to Counter Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

 

Washington, DC ~ Thursday, March 5, 2020

 

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery

 

Good afternoon. I am pleased to be joined here today by Acting Secretary Wolf of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, distinguished colleagues from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and representatives from leading tech companies, to announce a very important initiative: Voluntary Principles to Counter Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.

 

Last summer, I traveled to London for the Five Country Ministerial Digital Industry Roundtable. There, our five nations met with senior representatives from Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Roblox, Snapchat, and Twitter. We agreed that a more robust global response to online child sexual abuse was necessary to ensure that all children across the globe are protected, and that there is no safe space online for offenders to operate. Further, we committed to developing a set of voluntary principles to ensure online platforms and services have the systems they need to combat online child sexual exploitation. As a result of that meeting and much diligent work since then, today, we are collectively launching the 11 Voluntary Principles. I am happy that our hard work has come to fruition with today’s event.

 

The 11 Voluntary Principles establish a baseline framework for companies that provide online services to deter use of the Internet as a tool for sexually exploiting and abusing children. The six technology companies involved in this initiative have now publicly endorsed the Principles, and I commend them for their leadership.

 

The sexual exploitation and abuse of children is one of the most horrendous crimes affecting the most vulnerable members of society. Unfortunately, this has emerged as a massive problem not only in the real world, but also in the virtual one. Last year alone, more than 16.8 million CyberTips of suspected child sexual abuse material offenses were made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), involving children as young as infants.

 

Earlier today at the White House, we heard from members of the Phoenix 11, which is the group responsible for the powerful video you just watched. Phoenix 11 is an organization of survivors whose child sexual abuse was recorded and, in the majority of cases, distributed online. I commend these brave survivors for raising the profile of this issue. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to them for their courage in coming forward and telling their stories. They have given a voice to victims who have been silenced. They inspire us to take action, and we are thankful for their fearless and unrelenting efforts.

 

No child should ever have to endure the unspeakable pain and suffering of sexual exploitation and abuse. Sadly, however, technological change over the past few decades has amplified the scope and harm caused by these crimes.

Victims of paedophile school gardener John Bodey take legal action against WA Education Department

 

Victims of a former school gardener who systematically abused children over a period of more than 15 years are taking legal action against Western Australia's Education Department.

 

John Melverne Bodey, 78, this week pleaded guilty to 57 historic child abuse offences stemming from his abuse of 13 boys in Derby, 2,400km north of Perth, between 1970 and 1986.

 

Bodey was the gardener at Derby District High School and president of the local motocross club, using both positions to groom and abuse the children.

 

He had been expected to face trial in the Perth District Court this week, but entered the guilty plea prior to the start of proceedings.

 

His victims, who flew in from Derby, Broome, and the eastern states, had expected to be testifying against him.

 

But instead they watched Bodey admit to inflicting years of horrific abuse.

 

Authorities 'failed to protect'

 

While Bodey is due back in court for sentencing this week, the victims of his abuse have turned their attention to WA's Education Department.

 

In a civil claim lodged by Sydney firm Artemis Legal in 2017, and separate to the criminal proceedings against Bodey, the victims allege the Department failed to protect them from Bodey's predatory behaviour.

 

The ABC understands the victims are seeking an acknowledgement of responsibility from the Department, something that the Department of Education WA has strongly contested.

 

In response to questions from the ABC, the Department's executive director for professional standards and conduct Fiona Hunt said the Department only became aware of Bodey's offending when the case was lodged.

 

"The Department was first made aware of this matter in 2017 when one civil claim was recieved," Ms Hunt said.

 

"As this is an ongoing claim, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."

 

Two years of work to catch a predator

 

That Bodey was caught at all is down to the work of Detective Senior Constable Jacob Wilkins, who received the case file on his first day at the Derby detectives office in 2017.

 

Similarities between a complaint filed in 2004 in New South Wales with a report from one of Bodey's victims still living in Derby led him to strike up a rapport with the local man.

 

Speaking in the wake of Bodey's guilty plea, the detective said it was an immensely challenging investigation.

 

"It's a very long process. All of the victims were male, they're now in their forties and fifties," Detective Senior Constable Wilkins said.

 

"At the time of them growing up, these type of offences, they were embarrassed and ashamed.

 

"Bringing them up and getting them to re-live it again is very difficult. That's why out of the many, many victims, not all of them were able to make a complaint."

 

Cross-country investigation

 

With 13 victims willing to testify, the next challenge was locating Bodey, who had disappeared from Derby in the late 1980s.

 

The initial trail led to Kununurra, 40km from the WA-NT border, but then went cold.

 

"He was very nomadic. He hadn't paid taxes for years and years so he wasn't in any government systems," Detective Senior Constable Wilkins said.

 

"His lifestyle led him to live in caravan parks and on cattle stations, doing cash jobs. Do it was quite difficult to track him."

 

Inquiries with NT Police initially led to two discontinued child abuse investigations placing Bodey in Katherine, while a letter from Bodey kept by one of the victims identified a link with Queensland.

 

Utilities bills eventually located a John Bodey living in Charters Towers, where he had attended boarding school, from where he was tracked down and extradited in May 2018.

 

'Affected all of Derby'

 

Detective Senior Constable Wilkins said he was thankful the victims would not have to go through the pressure of a trial.

 

"Because so many of the victims are still living in town, this was really sensitive," he said.

 

"He affected an enormous amount of the big families up here. I can safely say its affected all of Derby."

Morrison government to stop funding international collaboration on shift to zero emissions

 

The five-year Australian-German initiative to transition to new energy and low emissions was due to end in 2022

 

The Morrison government has told researchers at two of Australia’s leading universities it will break a commitment to fund an international collaboration into what is required to shift to a zero emissions future.

 

The Australian-German Energy Transition Hub was announced in 2017 by then prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and German chancellor Angela Merkel as a collaboration that would “help the technical, economic and social transition to new energy systems and a low emissions economy”.

 

Based at the University of Melbourne, the Australian National University and three German institutions, it was to receive $4m over five years from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as part of an eventual full cross-country funding of $20m.

 

But in an email to staff on Friday afternoon, hub managers said the department had told them the government had decided it would “not follow through on its original commitment to fund the hub until 2022”.

 

Government funding for the hub will end in June. Guardian Australia has been told there is $1.75m unpaid from the original agreement.

 

Some researchers said the decision made little sense given the hub’s work included areas of government interest, particularly the development of a clean hydrogen industry. Other hub projects focus on energy storage, energy system modelling, plans for a just transition to clean energy and integrating solar energy into the grid.

 

Dylan McConnell, from the University of Melbourne’s climate and energy college, said: “It’s seems pretty hypocritical and counter-intuitive to be talking about this [hydrogen] and at the same time cutting funding.”

 

The email said the department had indicated it hoped the hub would “continue to deliver” but it wanted to “refocus” resources “at a time of tight budgets”. It said negotiations between the University of Melbourne and the department were under way, and the university was “looking at the options for different levels of support”.

 

“Now, it is very early days to say what comes next,” the email, by hub managing director Rebecca Burdon and co-directors, Malte Meinshausen and Frank Jotzo, said.

 

“We know that our contribution is filling a key niche in the Australian and international research landscape, on a topic that is continuing to gain in importance. And we know that we have a great group of researchers (you!) working on crucial issues, and that we’ve established powerful networks.

 

“We also know that industry and most state governments, and many parts of the federal government, are keenly interested in the energy transition. And we know that the bilateral relationship between Australia and Germany is and remains important, including on energy. We will need to recalibrate our activities in order to maximise opportunities for alternative funding.”

 

The email said the department had noted in its reasoning that the German government had not continued funding for its side of the hub, which was for two and a half years. But it said the German institutes remained involved and were part of a separate upcoming major project funded by the government that was designed to advance the energy transition.

 

On Friday night, a department spokesperson said the goals of the hub were to strengthen Australia’s bilateral relationship with Germany and better coordinate investments in research in energy transition. They said the remaining funding would be reallocated “to support our strategic priorities with Germany and other European partners more effectively, including potential collaboration with Germany on hydrogen”.

 

Jotzo, Meinshausen and hub chairman Ross Garnaut declined to comment.

Prince Andrew hires General Pinochet's former lawyer as he fights FBI Epstein probe

 

Clare Montgomery QC, the leading expert on extradition law, whose clients have included Augusto Pinochet and Nirav Modi has been hired

 

The Duke of York has hired Britain’s most respected extradition lawyer to fend off an FBI inquiry into his friendship with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the Telegraph can reveal.

 

Prince Andrew is receiving legal advice from Clare Montgomery QC, the leading expert on extradition law, whose clients have included Augusto Pinochet, Chile’s former dictator and Nirav Modi, wanted for India’s biggest fraud. She has been described as “the most formidable member of the bar.”

 

Ms Montgomery is being briefed by Gary Bloxsome, a criminal defence solicitor who has defended British troops against war crime allegations and is understood to have been appointed directly by the Duke.

 

The powerful legal team was assembled by the Queen’s 60-year-old son following a demand by the FBI and US prosecutors to interview him about his relationship with Epstein.

 

Yet their identities have been shrouded in secrecy, with Buckingham Palace aides refusing to reveal who is acting for the Duke.

 

The disclosure that he is using such an eminent team of lawyers suggests the Duke is taking hugely seriously the threat of investigation by the FBI. It is understood to be the first time the Royal Family has needed to use such a powerful team of criminal lawyers.

 

Ms Montgomery, a senior barrister at Matrix Chambers, which was co-founded by Cherie Blair, is thought to command fees of around £1,000 an hour.

 

She is also one of the most highly respected specialists in criminal and fraud law and is well known for her work on legally and factually complex cases.

 

Her clients have included Shrien Dewani, the newlywed charged and acquitted with murdering his new bride in South Africa. She also worked on behalf of the British government in the high profile case of British “superhacker” Gary McKinnon as he fought extradition to the US.

 

She prosecuted the Metropolitan Police when it stood trial under health and safety legislation for failures leading to the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, shot seven times in the head during a failed anti-terror operation.

 

An online profile of Mr Bloxsome reveals that he often receives instructions from “leading companies and ultra-high net worth individuals” in international jurisdictions as well as in the UK. He is also known for reputation and crisis management.

 

A partner at Blackfords, where he is co-head of the dispute resolution team, he shares a love of golf with the Duke.

 

One acquaintance said: “He’s as sharp as a blade, he’s absolutely brilliant.”

 

In January, US prosecutors took the unusual step of publicly accusing the Duke of ignoring their repeated attempts to contact him, publicly humiliating him and sparking a stand-off between the two camps.

 

Geoffrey Berman, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York who is leading the investigation into Epstein’s co-conspirators, made what was deemed an unprecedented move when he announced that the Duke had provided "zero cooperation" following the FBI’s requests for an interview.

 

In response, sources close to the Duke accused US prosecutors of “failing to play with a straight bat” and revealed that his lawyers were preparing to counter the claims.

 

A friend suggested he was “angry and bewildered" by the suggestion he had refused to cooperate, insisting he had not been approached.

 

But since then, there has been silence. Buckingham Palace has distanced itself from the ongoing crisis, avoiding repeated questions with the excuse that the Duke is no longer a working royal and as such, they did not represent him.

 

Having effectively washed their hands of the scandal, they would say only that the issue was being dealt with by the Duke's legal team, which they declined to identify.

Julia Gillard: ‘It’s important to show that women can hold their own’

 

The former Australian Prime Minister on misogyny in politics

 

Julia Gillard thought her work would be done by now. It’s been eight years since the former Australian Prime Minister gave her poised and powerful speech that exposed the misogyny at the centre of the political system.

 

“I did naively think when I was younger that gender equality was on the way to being fixed and wouldn’t be a feature of much of my life,” says Gillard, aged 58, on the phone from her house in Adelaide where she is looking after her niece’s dogs Pepper and Lebowski. “I wish I could tell my younger self that wasn’t right.”

 

It’s rare for Gillard to be at home — since she stood down as PM in 2013 she has travelled the world speaking about gender equality. This weekend she’s on a panel at the Women of the World Festival at the Southbank Centre. She’s in London regularly, as Chair of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College London.

 

She has also worked with Meghan Markle, who she thinks is an example of how “gender stereotyping affects every woman no matter what life she leads”. “It affects all women in the royal family but it’s only Meghan who has experienced that interrelationship between gender and race discrimination.” Gillard knitted a baby kangaroo for Markle’s nephew, Prince George, when he came to Australia and still knits. “Its rhythmic nature is calming”.

 

Gillard speaks with the same focused anger that drove her 2012 speech, which has been viewed half a million times on YouTube. “I didn’t know I was going to give the speech until I gave it,” she recalls. It was a response to leader of the opposition Tony Abbott talking about whether the speaker should stay in office after sending sexist text messages — but it became a rallying cry, spanning everything from comments about Gillard’s appearance to extreme bullying: she was called “barren” for not having children, and an opposition fundraising dinner included the “Julia Gillard quail, small breasts, huge thighs and a big red box”. “I wrote the notes that became the speech while Tony Abbott was talking. I felt a sense of cool anger from many days in my prime ministership where I’d tolerated sexist remarks without reply. Afterwards I had to go back to my office and work. By the time I got there it was clear the speech was having an impact beyond Parliament. People were starting to ring in.”

 

Gillard was elected in 2010. She thought the sexism was “a reaction to me being the first woman prime minister in Australia”. I thought things would normalise but instead it grew the longer I was PM. It made me wish I had pointed out the sexist incidents earlier when they were a bit more benign.”

 

She knew political culture in Australia was “robust” but “felt it was important to show that a woman could stand in an environment like that in politics and hold her own.” Her partner, Tim Mathieson, was the one who worried. “Your family feel the slings and arrows more than you do, so they are protective and supportive as a result,” she said.

 

As PM, Gillard fought for greener policy, which made her unpopular. Although, after the fires in Australia this summer, more people are realising her actions were necessary.

 

“We did introduce a scheme to reduce emissions but it was repealed by the government elected afterwards. The peril to our planet is increasing and the tragic summer we’ve had in Australia has increased hunger for change.” How does the political culture in the UK compare? “I’m delighted to see more women MPs in Westminster, especially after so many resigned before the election because the situation was so toxic. Nicky Morgan and Heidi Allen going was a loss.” Are there particularly female leadership qualities? “I’m writing a book about that with my friend [Nigerian economist] Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. I don’t believe babies are born with inherent leadership styles. Women are socialised differently.” She remembers not being allowed to do woodwork at school and the girls being the ones who had to do the washing up.

 

“As we strive for more equality it impacts men too,” says Gillard. Men still tell her they’ve asked the women in their lives to watch her speech. “There’s an increasing recognition that a gender equal world will be better for women and men.”

Cardin, Barrasso Lead Senate Recognition of US-Australian Firefighting Cooperation

 

The bipartisan resolution marks the longstanding partnership between the United States and Australia to share critical firefighting resources during times of crisis.

 

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) introduced a bipartisan resolution Wednesday lauding the more than 100 years of firefighting cooperation and security assistance between the United States and Australia. The Senate resolution comes the same week the last brushfires were extinguished in New South Wales, the worst hit jurisdiction of the 2019-2020 Australian brush fire season. Over the course of a grueling and destructive 240 days, more than 300 American firefighters were deployed to Australia on behalf of multiple federal agencies, including the Department of the Interior and the USDA Forest Service through the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC).

 

“America and Australia have been helping each other through the most difficult of times for generations. Our close relationship crosscuts so many areas of cooperation and mutual support,” said Senator Cardin, a senior member of the Senate Environment & Public Works and Senate Foreign Relations committees. “Regrettably, three American firefighters lost their lives while assisting in this latest collaboration. The Senate honors their sacrifice and the dedication of all those who have risked their lives to keep Americans and Australians safe from harm.”

 

“The United States and Australia have built a strong alliance. During difficult times, our two nations have supported each other with critical firefighting resources. I’m so proud and grateful for the 15 Wyoming firefighters who recently answered the call to help Australia fight the bushfires ravaging their country,” said Senator Barrasso. “These brave men and women routinely risk their lives to protect others. That was made startlingly clear when three Americans—including a member of the Wyoming National Guard—lost their lives in January fighting the Australian fires. This resolution honors their sacrifice. It also supports the continued partnership between the United States and Australia on sharing resources, research and best practices related to wildfire mitigation and suppression.”

 

Additional cosponsors include Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), John Cornyn (R-Tex.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), Steven Daines (R-Mont.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), David Perdue (R-Ga.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Kirsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), John Thune (R-S.D.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.).

Biden or Sanders? Voters in Docklands could play a key role in picking Trump's opponent

 

Iowa. New Hampshire. South Carolina. Docklands.

 

In a Democratic presidential primary that has matured into a battle between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, people voting in the shadows of Marvel Stadium could play a key role in determining Donald Trump's election opponent.

 

This week, tens of thousands of US citizens living away from their homeland – including Sanders' own brother, who lives in England – voted to elect delegates who will select the Democrats' presidential nominee in July.

 

More than a thousand Americans living in Australia – including hundreds of Melburnians – voted on Saturday, with local organisers noticing a surge in turnout of voters energised to topple Trump.

 

The Democratic race tightened dramatically this week as Biden resurrected his bid with unexpected wins in key states like Texas, pushing him into favouritism ahead of fellow septuagenarian Sanders.

 

With Biden into a narrow lead, some pollsters and bookmakers are tipping a situation where neither candidate receives a majority of delegates to automatically win the primary.

 

Overseas voters send 21 delegates to the party's convention, where a candidate requires 1990 delegates to win the nomination. Voters in Australia are expected to make up less than 5 per cent of the total overseas vote.

 

In a neck-and-neck race, each delegate is key – and no group of voters has a more outsized influence on the delegate pool than those who vote outside the US.

 

The Democrats' formula for apportioning delegates meant there was one delegate for every 2500 overseas votes in the 2016 primary. In comparison, about 11,000 votes equated to each delegate in the California.

 

Kent Getsinger, chair of the Australian chapter of Democrats Abroad, said the overseas vote in this tight primary could be "impactful". He compared the situation to the 2000 presidential election between Al Gore and George W. Bush, where a small number of overseas ballots proved crucial.

 

The Democratic Party is gripped by an internal conflict over its identity, with the divide evident at the polling station in Docklands.

 

Its younger generation, who are voting in droves for self-described "democratic socialist" Sanders, rails against globalisation and free trade and demands universal healthcare.

 

The moderate establishment wing, which is lining up behind Biden, advocates more incremental reforms.

 

If history is anything to go by, Sanders' left-wing agenda is a winner among Americans living Down Under. In 2016, the senator crushed Hilary Clinton 635-237 among voters living in Australia.

 

Laurie Staub is a Melbourne resident and a lifelong Democrat with decades of experience working on party campaigns, including Barack Obama's 2012 campaign where she met Biden and got to know his now-deceased son Beau.

 

She supported Sanders in 2016, but believes the likeability and pragmatism of Biden is what the party now needs.

 

"He's the most authentic, genuine, kind human being," said Ms Staub, who met the former vice-president for a third time when he visited Melbourne in 2016.

 

"The next four years in the United States needs someone to steady the ship.

 

"You can't dream all these wonderful ideas that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have until you clean up the mess so you get back to the basic foundations, and then you build."

 

In the other camp is 25-year-old Stephen Underwood, who is scrutinising ballots at Docklands for the Sanders campaign.

 

He's young and passionate, and believes Sanders is the only person capable of making what he calls the "corrupt" economic system work in favour of working-class people.

 

"He has authenticity and absolute consistency across the years in pushing a progressive agenda, and he's willing to take on vested interests," Mr Underwood said.

 

"He doesn't talk shit."

Australia reaches breakthrough deal to buy US emergency oil supplies

 

London and Washington: The Morrison government has struck a landmark deal to tap into the US government's tightly-guarded emergency fuel reserves, a move that will help lower the risk of Australia plunging into an economic and national security crisis.

 

The agreement, to be signed by Energy Minister Angus Taylor in Washington on Monday (Tuesday AEDT), will help shore up the dangerously low supplies in Australia that have left consumers vulnerable to price spikes and rationing in the event of a sudden supply disruption.

 

The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age revealed last year that the government was in talks with the Trump administration to buy millions of barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

 

Australia imports 90 per cent of its liquid fuels but only has enough in storage to last 54 days – well below the 90 days it is obliged to stockpile under an agreement with the International Energy Agency (IEA).

 

The need to bulk up oil supplies has grown increasingly acute recently because of the volatility in key shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz off Iran and the South China Sea.

 

The deal, which involves leasing US storage facilities, means the government will not need to spend billions of dollars building expensive new storage facilities in Australia.

 

The oil stored in America will count towards Australia's overall supply, allowing the government to meet its IEA requirements.

 

"This landmark Australia-US arrangement represents our joint commitment to maintaining fuel security and improving Australia’s resilience, as well as strengthening the close bonds between our two great nations," Mr Taylor said.

 

"The US is a trusted ally who has been essential for global oil security and we are glad to be building on our strong, longstanding relationship, while ensuring Australia is best prepared to act during a global oil disruption.

 

"This arrangement further improves our ability to ensure stocks of critical diesel, petrol and aviation fuel to keep the economy going in the event of disruptions to supply chains."

 

Stored underground in massive caverns in Texas and Louisiana, the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve was set up by president Gerald Ford in 1975 to keep the country running in a crisis.

 

It holds more than 640 million barrels of crude oil. One cavern is so big it could fit Chicago's 110-storey Willis Tower in it.

 

The agreement to be signed by Mr Taylor and US Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette will kickstart detailed contractual negotiations about how much crude oil Australia can buy from the US and how much space it can use in the underground caverns to store it.

 

No final decisions have been made about how much fuel Australia wants to buy or how much it is willing to spend.

 

US politicians have previously raised concerns about the idea of selling off fuel from the petroleum reserve to other countries. But the fact Australia's deal involves leasing facilities in the US - rather than shipping the oil directly to Australia - helped assuage some worries in Washington.

 

In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age last year, IEA executive director Fatih Birol said he welcomed the prospect of such a deal between the US and Australia.

 

While in the US, Mr Taylor will also visit the oil and gas state of Texas to meet with top industry executives.

 

He will also visit the US government’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado, which is leading research into production of biological hydrogen as a clean source of energy.

 

The Australian government has released a National Hydrogen Strategy designed to encourage the expansion of the local hydrogen industry.

Australian police praised for helping capture US pedophile

 

US authorities have commended an Australian undercover police operation that led to a hefty prison sentence for a pedophile who took sexually explicit photos of a sleeping 11-year-old girl and traded her underwear on Craigslist to another pedophile.

 

The global hunt for Donnie Barnes Sr, 52, began on February 11, 2018 when a Queensland officer discovered photos of the girl on a public photo-sharing site.

 

The officer, posing as a pedophile, reached out to Barnes who went by the online username TICK10TO12TOCK.

 

Queensland police investigated and reached out to the US Homeland Security Investigations’ child exploitation unit.

 

The investigation led US authorities to Barnes’ home in Washington state.

 

In October last year a jury found him guilty of production of child pornography, distribution of child pornography and possession of child pornography charges.

 

Barnes was sentenced to 15 years’ prison on Monday in Tacoma, Washington.

 

Barnes told officers after his US arrest he traded the girl’s underwear for child rape images to someone seeking the items via Craigslist.

 

“This defendant horribly betrayed the trust of not only the child but the child’s parent and caregiver,” US Attorney for the Western District of Washington, Brian Moran, said.

 

“I commend the international cooperation that uncovered this crime and put an end to this predatory behaviour.”

Spanaway man sentenced to 15 years in prison for production and distribution of images of child molestation

 

Defendant shared explicit photos he made of sleeping 11-year-old

 

Tacoma, Washington – A Spanaway, Washington, man who made sexually explicit images of an 11-year-old child and traded the child’s underwear for more images of child rape, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to 15 years in prison announced U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran. DONNIE BARNES, SR., 52, was convicted in October 2019 of production of child pornography, distribution of child pornography, and possession of child pornography following a two-day jury trial. At the sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle said, “It is hard to describe” how serious these types of offenses are in terms “real harm.” The victims of these offenses themselves face a “life sentence” of “pain we cannot know.”

 

“This defendant horribly betrayed the trust of not only the child but the child’s parent and caregiver,” said U.S. Attorney Moran. “I commend the international cooperation that uncovered this crime and put an end to this predatory behavior.”

 

According to records filed in the case and testimony at trial in February 2018, BARNES came to the attention of law enforcement when a police detective in Queensland, Australia, noticed a suspicious file on a public photo-sharing website. The album showed close-up photos of a child’s genitals. In an undercover persona, the officer commented on the photos and received emails the next day from BARNES describing the child in sexual terms and revealing BARNES’ relationship to the child.

 

In early March 2018, agents with Homeland Security Investigations searched BARNES’ residence in Spanaway. When interviewed by law enforcement, BARNES admitted photographing the child while the child was asleep and uploading the images to the internet. Additionally, BARNES told officers he had traded soiled underwear from the child for additional images of child rape to someone seeking such items via Craigslist. Those images were located on an electronic storage device in BARNES’ home.

 

Following his prison term, BARNES will be on lifetime supervised release and will be required to register as a sex offender.

 

The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations with assistance from the Queensland Police Service (QPS).

 

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Matthew Hampton and Lyndsie Schmalz.

 

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals better who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Suspected foreign agents ordered to hand over documents as new unit targets China links

 

Chinese government-funded language and culture institutes operating at Australian universities, community groups linked to Beijing’s overseas propaganda arm and organisations looking to harm Australia’s critical infrastructure will be targeted by a new unit set up to enforce the Morrison government’s flagship foreign influence scheme.

 

Attorney-General Christian Porter has warned potential agents of foreign powers will be ordered to hand over documents in coming months, and has not ruled out going after agents acting on behalf of foreign embassies in Australia if they have not declared their activities on the foreign influence register.

 

The Sunday Age and The Sun Herald understands the new unit will focus on Confucius Institutes operating at some Australian universities and groups linked to Beijing’s United Front Work Department.

 

The Attorney-General's Department is working with domestic spy agency ASIO and the AFP in its revamped bid to enforce the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme.

 

It is also expected foreign companies and organisations will be served with notices requesting them to hand over documents relating to potential agents under their influence.

 

Only two notices have been served on individuals or groups since the scheme came into operation in late 2018, including a Chinese company suspected of engaging in influencing activity which was ordered to hand over documents in recent weeks.

 

Asked in an interview whether more notices would be served in the coming months, Mr Porter said: "The short answer is yes."

 

He said his department was now in the "second round" of administering the scheme and it was "quite conceivable" that some organisations that were trying to influence government policy and democratic processes were not being open about who was directing them.

 

"Now that we have seen, after a year, what entities have registered as either foreign principals or foreign government-related entities, there are other entities … which bare some similarity, on the face of them at least, to entities that have registered," Mr Porter said.

 

"And where an entity looks like they may have some of the features of a foreign government enterprise, we will be enquiring of them about their structure, their constituent nature, who makes up leadership and director positions inside the entity, so that we can make a determination to our satisfaction that they are either are or not a foreign government enterprise."

 

The Sun-Herald and The Sunday Age can reveal the Australian Council for the Promotion of the Peaceful Reunification of China will be a target of the dedicated new unit.

 

China experts have said the council is the Australian arm of a foreign influence network run by the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department, but the organisation has always denied any link.

 

Another target will be the 13 Confucius Institutes operating at Australian universities, which were last year sent letters by the AG's department alerting them to the introduction of the scheme, according to senior government sources.

 

The centres are joint ventures between the host universities and Hanban, a Chinese government entity that provides funding, staff and other support.

 

While not naming Confucius institutes directly, Mr Porter said individuals who were employed through a university that connected back to a foreign power could be captured by the scheme if they were "trying to affect democratic outcomes or influence government".

 

"Universities need to obviously be very live themselves to who it is who is seeking to influence their decision-making, their structure, their expenditure, their outcomes, and those people who are seeking to influence universities in that respect universities themselves need to be very mindful about who those people are working on behalf of," he said.

 

Mr Porter said diplomats registered at foreign embassies would unlikely be captured by the scheme, but agents being directed by ambassadors or an embassy could be captured.

 

"The nature of the scheme is where people want to hide the nature of that influence then we have to dig through the layers of secrecy and make the relationships transparent," he said.

Coronavirus toilet paper row at Western Sydney Woolworths leads to two women charged

 

Two Sydney women have been charged over a physical altercation over toilet paper, which occurred at a Western Sydney supermarket on Saturday morning.

 

NSW Police said officers were called out to a Woolworths in Chullora, near Bankstown, after an argument broke out between two women in an aisle over toilet paper.

 

It said two women went to Bankstown Police Station about 8:00pm and were then issued court attendance notices for affray.

 

The argument was captured on video and has since been viewed over 4 million times on social media and was featured on newscasts around the world.

 

It begins with the two women arguing in the aisle of the Woolworths in Chullora on Saturday morning, before a man who appears to be an employee steps in.

 

"I just want one pack," a woman is heard saying to the other woman and her mother.

 

"No, not one pack," the mother of the woman responds, shielding her trolley full of toilet paper.

 

A third voice is heard asking "what's the limit?", an apparent reference to the limit on how much toilet paper can be purchased in a single transaction, imposed by supermarkets this week.

 

The shelves of many supermarkets were stripped bare the past week as shoppers stockpiled items amid a panic about the spread of the coronavirus.

 

Bankstown Police Area Command duty officer Acting Inspector Andrew New said on Saturday that supplies were being replenished and there was no need to panic.

 

"There is no need for people to go out and panic buy at supermarkets, Paracetamol and canned food or toilet paper," Acting Inspector New said.

 

"It isn't the Thunderdome, it isn't Mad Max, we don't need to do that."

 

Police said a 49-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted but did not sustain any injuries.

 

Supermarket giant Coles said on Sunday morning it had applied a one-pack purchase limit on toilet paper, both in-store and online, to help improve access for customers.

 

"This additional measure will allow us to maintain stock levels in stores so more customers will be able to purchase the products they need," a Coles spokesperson said.

 

The two women charged over the fight are due to appear at Bankstown Local Court in late April.

Resignations in the news

 

'''Westpac’s Anita Fung joins boardroom exits==

 

Westpac risk and compliance committee member Anita Fung has joined a growing list of boardroom departures amid the bank's money laundering and child exploitation scandal.

 

The bank confirmed on Friday Ms Fung would retire from the board on March 31, the same leaving date given for its outgoing chairman Lindsay Maxsted.

 

Their exits follow the departure of former chief executive Brian Hartzer in November, who accepted ultimate accountability for the bank's alleged 23 million breaches of money laundering laws, and failure to properly monitor payments potentially linked to the streaming of child exploitation.

 

Westpac's risk and compliance committee head Ewen Couch has also gone, choosing not to seek re-election at the December 12 annual general meeting, when Westpac was roasted by furious shareholders and handed a second strike on executive pay.

 

Ms Fung retains her role as a member of Westpac's Asia Advisory Board.

Charity World Vision in allegations of corruption and nepotism

 

One of Australia’s biggest charities, World Vision, is implicated in a multimillion-dollar corruption scandal that involves AFL stars, a free Bali holiday, nepotism and suspected kickbacks in return for lucrative printing contracts.

 

Leaked invoices and emails suggest that donations from Australians to the humanitarian behemoth — famous for its child sponsorship campaign and celebrity endorsements — have helped pay for contracts to a printing group which then made secret payments to the father of a World Vision executive.

 

The revelation comes as World Vision Australia chief executive officer Claire Rogers announced her resignation late on Sunday, citing family and personal reasons. The organisation and its chairman denied Ms Rogers' resignation had anything to do with the news about the alleged corruption in the organisation, though her announcement had been brought forward from its planned timing of Wednesday. There is no suggestion Ms Rogers was involved in any wrongdoing.

 

The Docklands printing group was run by wealthy print industry businessman Brett Chalmers and former AFL stars Stephen Kernahan and Craig Bradley. Leaked emails reveal Mr Chalmers and Mr Kernahan knew of the demands for secret payments, with Mr Chalmers arranging for a free trip to Bali before the World Vision contract was awarded, and then regular payments to Glenn Kuramoto whose son is an executive at World Vision.

 

On Friday, World Vision’s chief financial officer, Gordon Allison, said the charity was “deeply concerned by the allegations of inappropriate conduct” and had called in Victoria Police and auditors KPMG “to undertake a formal, independent investigation of this matter''.

 

“We have engaged workplace investigation and mediation service iHR Australia to conduct an investigation into the role of a staff member in the matter; and notified the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission,” Mr Allison said. “We have temporarily suspended the staff member named in the allegations, pending the outcome of the investigations.”

 

An investigation by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald reveals World Vision executive Zane Kuramoto — the suspended staff member — recommended that the charity engage his father, Glenn, in 2013 as an adviser to oversee the $2.5 million printing and marketing contracts the charity relies on to do mass mail-outs and promotions to donors.

 

Former World Vision manager Dean Mills said of the decision to hire Glenn Kuramoto: “Zane, who headed that area, said, ‘my father has been in the industry for a number of years’.”

 

Zane Kuramoto has been one of the faces of World Vision as it seeks donors to respond to humanitarian crises. Having run its marketing department, he was recently seconded to be global director of content.

 

After Glenn Kuramoto was hired by World Vision, he sought a deal with the Docklands printing group. The group would get the lucrative contract but it was asked for a trip to Bali for Mr Kuramoto snr. After the contract was awarded, Docklands received a demand for monthly payments to him.

 

Emails sent by Glenn Kuramoto suggest he was paid $3000 a month over a number of years. His son, Zane, in his senior position at World Vision, extended the printing contracts, which had the effect of delivering his father further windfalls. There is no suggestion Zane knew of, or was party to, his father’s corruption. Zane said last week he was confident he would be cleared of any wrongdoing. He declined to answer specific questions, including the appropriateness of suggesting his father get a job with the charity.

 

In December 2018, World Vision transferred the printing contract from Docklands to a closely aligned company, the Waratah Group. The group was also owned by Mr Chalmers and Mr Kernahan.

 

In late 2019, Waratah itself collapsed, owing staff, the tax office and creditors millions of dollars. After this, World Vision transferred the printing contract to another business, Finsbury Green. This business employs both Mr Kernahan and Mr Chalmers.

 

The scandal is the worst faced by World Vision Australia in its history and will rock the charity sector and federal government, which funds it along with tens of thousands of Australians. Trust is a key component in maintaining relationships with donors.

Facebook sued by Australian information watchdog over Cambridge Analytica-linked data breach

 

Facebook alleged to have committed serious breaches with data collected by This is Your Digital Life app used by Cambridge Analytica for political profiling

 

Australia’s information commissioner is suing Facebook over allegedly breaching the privacy of over 300,000 Australians caught up in the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

 

In a case lodged in the federal court on Monday, the Australian information commissioner Angelene Falk has alleged Facebook committed serious and repeated interferences with privacy in contravention of Australian privacy law because data collected by Facebook was passed onto the This is Your Digital Life app by Cambridge Analytica for political profiling, which was not what it was collected for.

 

Data included people’s names, dates of birth, email addresses, city location, friends list, page likes and Facebook messages for those who had granted the app access to the messages.

 

“We consider the design of the Facebook platform meant that users were unable to exercise reasonable choice and control about how their personal information was disclosed,” Falk said.

 

“Facebook’s default settings facilitated the disclosure of personal information, including sensitive information, at the expense of privacy.”

 

At the time, Facebook said 311,127 Australians between March 2014 and May 2015 had data shared with the app, accounting for 0.4% of users affected by the breach.

 

However, the court documents reveal just 53 people in Australia installed the app.

 

87m users worldwide were affected by the scandal.

 

The OAIC says in its court filing that the design of Facebook made it so that users were unable to consent or control over how their data was disclosed, and to date, Facebook has not been able to tell the OAIC which Australian users were affected.

 

The Guardian and Observer revealed data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica worked with Donald Trump’s election team and the Leave campaign in the UK Brexit referendum.

 

The data was used to build a software program to predict and influence voters. Facebook discovered the information had been harvested by a third party in late 2015, but failed to alert users at the time.

 

Each contravention comes with a maximum penalty of $1.7m. The OAIC is alleging multiple breaches but did not indicate whether penalties would be sought for all 311,127 users affected.

 

The relief sought just asks the court to order Facebook to “pay civil pecuniary penalties” under the Privacy Act “as applicable for contraventions that occurred during the relevant period.”

 

According to the court documents, Cambridge Analytica provided written confirmation in January 2016 that all users’ personal information obtained through the app had been deleted, but the company did not take any independent steps to ensure the data had been deleted or destroyed.

 

In the UK Facebook was fined £500,000 for the breach, while in the US, the federal trade commission fined the company US$5bn. In October last year, the OAIC was criticised for taking its time in resolving the investigation.

 

Guardian Australia has sought comment from Facebook.

 

More to come.

Russia sensationally claims Australia tampered with MH17 wreckage after the plane was shot down - as four separatists accused of killing 298 passengers and crew face court for the first time

 

The Russian ambassador to Australia has claimed that the country's federal police tampered with evidence from the MH17 plane wreckage.

 

Dr Alexey Pavlovsky believes integral evidence from the Malaysia Airlines flight that was shot down over the Ukraine was falsified by Australian investigators.

 

A total of 298 people were killed, including 38 Australians, when a BUK missile shot down the Boeing 777 from Ukrainian territory held by pro-Russia separatists in July 2014.

 

Dr Pavlovsky claimed that there are flaws in the investigation which was made to reach a predetermined result and blame Russia for the attack.

 

'The experts say that many of these pictures have been heavily tampered with and it seems that the Australian Federal Police as part of the investigation also had information to this effect but it somehow chose to withhold it from the public,' he told 9News.

 

Analysts from the MH17 Joint Investigation Team (JIT) included representatives from Australia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ukraine.

 

The JIT have charged Russia's Igor Girkin, Sergei Dubinsky and Oleg Pulatov and Ukraine's Leonid Kharchenko with the tragedy, with a trial to begin on Monday.

 

Footage used in evidence by the JIT showed a truck with a BUK missile from the Russian armed forces travelling from Russia to the Ukraine before returning with no missile.

 

Russia has denied this accusation, with Dr Pavlovsky saying it is important to establish the truth for the victims families.

 

'I saw on the internet some copies of the documents indicating the Australian participants to the JIT at least had some signals on the pictures presented as evidence being falsified,' he said.

 

Dr Pavlovsky believes any evidence that is contrary to blaming Russia for shooting down the plane has been hidden by the Australian and international media.

 

'The investigation was based on falsified pictures and on the recordings provided by the security services of Ukraine. For me that's quite enough to smell a rat here,' Dr Pavlovsky said.

 

The Australian Federal Police have denied accusations of using falsified evidence.

 

Many questions remain unanswered more than five years after the tragedy.

 

Former Australian foreign affairs minister Julie Bishop told the ABC in 2018 that Russia needed to explain why a missile was taken Russia to Ukraine prior to the attack.

 

'The Russian Federation must answer how it is that a sophisticated weapon, a BUK missile, was transported from Russia into Eastern Ukraine and was used to bring down a civilian aircraft carrying 298 people and then was immediately taken back into Russia,' she said.

 

None of the accused will appear in court because both Russia and the Ukraine don't extradite citizens for criminal trials.

 

Because of this, any sentence imposed may not be served as the Netherlands has no authority over either country.

 

There is a possibility for more people to be charged over the incident, with the accused facing life in jail under Dutch law.

MH17 investigation: Russia's ambassador to Australia accuses AFP of cover-up

 

On the eve of the trial of three Russians accused of murder over the downing of MH17, the Russian ambassador to Australia has accused Federal Police of a cover-up.

 

In a rare exclusive interview with 9NEWS Dr Alexey Pavlovsky, a long-time Russian diplomat, claimed key photographic evidence was "falsified" and withheld from the public.

 

It's a claim denied by the Australian Federal Police.

 

Thirty-eight Australians were among 298 people killed when a BUK missile shot down the Malaysian airlines flight in Ukraine in 2014.

George Pell's appeal is before the High Court tomorrow. Here's what might happen

 

George Pell's final bid for freedom at the High Court this week will be one of the most closely watched hearings in Australian legal history.

 

It's one of the most high-profile and contentious High Court cases in recent memory — up there with Lindy Chamberlain.

 

In December 2018, when a jury found Pell guilty of sexually abusing two choirboys, many of his supporters were hopeful the convictions would be overturned on appeal.

 

Only one of the former choirboys gave evidence at the trial, the other died of a drug overdose in 2014.

 

But a majority of the three judges at the Victorian Court of Appeal backed the jury's verdict, leaving Pell to continue serving a six-year jail term.

 

Now it all comes down to a two-day hearing before the full bench of the High Court starting tomorrow.

 

Here's a quick guide to how the case will run.

 

What are the grounds for Pell's appeal?

 

If you have time for the long version, Pell's legal team sets out its case in a 21-page written submission to the High Court.

 

The Crown's response is also 21 pages and there are further written submissions on the High Court website.

 

Essentially, Pell's lawyers argue the Victorian Court of Appeal should have ruled that the guilty verdict handed down by the jury was unsafe.

 

"They say the evidence at the trial means that even if you accept the complainant's testimony as seemingly credible, it's not enough to convict Pell because the other evidence creates too much doubt," Melbourne University Law School Professor Jeremy Gans said.

 

"The Crown say the Court of Appeal majority considered all of that and was still left without doubt that Pell was guilty."

 

Has the High Court agreed to hear the appeal?

 

Funnily enough the answer is no, or at least, not yet.

 

Despite setting a two-day hearing where the parties will argue for and against the appeal, the High Court is yet to grant what's called 'special leave to appeal'.

 

It may even hear all the arguments on the appeal itself before ruling if leave is granted. That's not unusual in High Court cases.

 

If leave is not granted, the appeal fails, and Pell must serve his time. If leave is granted, the High Court will then make a judgment on the appeal and publish its reasons.

 

How will the case be heard?

 

The case will be heard before the full bench of the High Court. That could mean five judges or seven judges — for the moment the High Court won't say how many.

 

The exact number will become clear later today or tomorrow.

 

The judges won't examine all the trial evidence.

 

"The High Court will be looking at the appeal judgment and around 100 pages of trial transcript selected by the parties," Professor Gans said.

 

"Each side has asked for four hours to make their case, but it's up to the court how long they have.

 

"If the judges disagree on the special leave application or the appeal itself, the majority decision stands."

 

What are all the possible outcomes?

 

According to Professor Gans, there are five possible outcomes from Pell's High Court application:

 

* Refuse special leave — which ends the case and leaves Pell in prison.

 

* Grant special leave and dismiss the appeal — which again leaves Pell in prison, but the High Court will publish more detailed reasons.

 

* Grant special leave and allow the appeal — that ends the case and means Pell is cleared and must be freed immediately.

 

* Grant special leave and send the case back to the Victorian Court of Appeal — that puts the case back where it was a year ago, after Pell was sentenced.

 

* Do something else — for example ask Pell and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to provide more arguments or information down the track.

 

Could there be a result tomorrow?

 

Technically, yes.

 

Professor Gans said it was possible the court could decide to throw out Pell's appeal after his lawyers put their case tomorrow.

World watching Australia for virus response: Trump adviser

 

US President Donald Trump's former economic adviser Kevin Hassett says Australia's response to the virus crisis should not be tax cuts but direct cash injections into businesses, ensuring jobs and cash flows are maintained.

 

Dr Hassett, who supported Donald Trump's $US1.5 trillion tax cut, favours a faster direct stimulus and relief such as payroll tax holidays – something for which various state governments are preparing.

 

The former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, who is in Australia for The Australian Financial Review Business Summit, said the world was watching how Australia dealt with the crisis because of its reliable data on raw material exports to China.

 

He is also betting that the crisis won't be drawn out and that the stockmarket will still be a good investment over the long term, despite the local sharemarket recording its worst session since the global financial crisis.

 

"A corporate tax cut right now would not be good because you would not get that much purchase out of it. It won't be super-effective in the short term," Dr Hassett said.

 

"A lot of businesses are cash-strapped. I have just been up to the Blue Mountains and everyone was talking about how empty the place is of tourists.

 

"The big companies won't be hindered by liquidity yet. But the problem is people are staying home and inventories are not where they are supposed to be. So this could lead to layoffs. When things dry up quickly, firms could end up with a liquidity crisis."

 

If the virus spread beyond April then concerns about credit markets would intensify and the effectiveness of central banks, monetary policy would be questioned.

 

After announcing Dr Hassett's departure last June from the Council of Economic Advisers, President Trump tweeted that the economist was a “true friend". Dr Hassett has a similar view of Mr Trump, suggesting he was a "joy to work with".

 

Dr Hassett said he did not know whether the crisis would assist in Mr Trump's re-election but said its characteristics were similar to those of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

 

"It is comparable to 9/11 because everyone thought the attacks were going to be global and security was ramped up. For a month or two after, markets were still panicking.

 

"I think this virus has spread so rapidly that I think it's creating such a big unknown like we have never seen before."

 

What has exacerbated the impact on international sharemarkets has been poor information. "The Chinese data are so difficult to read," Mr Hassett said, "And so I think Australia's data on exports to China are going to be watched very carefully because Australian data is so solid."

 

"I would also expect that, because Australia is so close to China that this will end up being a net negative for you.

 

"But markets go up and down. I don't think anyone thinks this will be a permanent shock. We have learnt that over time stocks go back up."

 

Dr Hassett, who authored a book in the late 1990s called Dow 36,000, argued that the sharemarket was a good place for long-term investment.

 

"If the long-run growth path is unaffected by the current crisis, then earnings will eventually grow again. Over long time horizons, compounding of growth has tended to overwhelm short-term panics."

Assange trial rehearsal? Hung jury results in mistrial for former CIA tech accused of handing ‘Vault 7’ docs to WikiLeaks

 

Federal prosecutors were unable to convince a jury on any of the spying-related charges against an ex-CIA engineer accused of stealing reams of classified material – in what may be a dry run for the case against Julian Assange.

 

In a significant blow to prosecutors on Monday, jurors failed to come to a verdict on eight central counts against former CIA software engineer Joshua Schulte, who was charged for stealing thousands of pages of classified information on the agency’s secret hacking tools and passing them to WikiLeaks – what later became its ‘Vault7’ release, the largest breach of classified material in CIA history.

 

While Schulte was found guilty of contempt of court and making false statements to investigators, a hung jury on the remaining eight charges – including illegal gathering and transmission of national defense information – prompted District Judge Paul Crotty to order a mistrial and dismiss the jurors on the case, who had deemed themselves “extremely deadlocked” in a note to the judge.

 

The split verdict came after nearly a full week of messy deliberations, which saw one juror removed for researching the facts of the case against Crotty’s orders. She was never replaced, however, leaving a short-handed panel to deliver a final decision.

 

The former technician left his job in the CIA’s Langley headquarters in 2016 and was charged some two years later for his alleged role in the Vault 7 leak. But prosecutors had difficulty tying Schulte to the disclosure throughout his four-week trial, with jurors often mystified by a complicated maze of technical evidence.

 

The case may offer parallels to that of WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange, who faces 17 charges under the World War I-era Espionage Act and up to 175 years in prison over his role in the publication of the Iraq and Afghan war logs in 2010. Assange is accused of helping leaker Chelsea Manning (then known as Bradley) “hack” into military computers to obtain classified material, but if extradited from the UK to stand trial in an American courtroom, prosecutors would likely produce similar technical forensics to prove his involvement, precisely what the government was unable to do in Schulte’s case.

Huawei gives up on Australia in short term but wants probe of 5G competitors

 

Huawei's chief cyber security officer says the Chinese telecommunications giant has given up on changing the Australian government's mind on 5G security restrictions in the short term but wants a probe of the China-based manufacturing operations of rival European suppliers.

 

Huawei and the Chinese government have agitated against Australia's ban on the company participating in the rollout of next-generation 5G networks since it was announced in August 2018. The telco is now pivoting to a "long haul" public relations strategy, including a series of community forums in Australia.

 

"We are not trying right now to get the government to change their mind," Andy Purdy, a former government official who now works as Huawei's chief cyber security officer in the United States told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

 

"We are trying to emphasise: block Huawei if you must but it's really important to do what's necessary to make Australia safer and there's a lot of stuff not being done."

 

Mr Purdy, who arrives in Australia on Tuesday morning for the public forums, conceded the company was "not trying to win that battle [with the Australian government] anytime soon" but said a long-term cyber security approach might one day allow the company to do more business in Australia.

 

"People focus on China, people focus on Huawei, but you have got the global supply chain with the major footprint in China, including our European competitors," he said.

 

"Ask the experts what's being done to address the risk that China will hack into Nokia and Ericsson's products and be able to launch attacks inside Australia? What's being done about that?"

 

Nokia and Ericsson are Huawei's main rivals in the development of next-generation telecom networks. Huawei says the European companies' products are more expensive and technologically inferior.

 

Much Nokia and Ericsson equipment is manufactured in China with state-owned joint venture partners connected to the Chinese Communist Party.

 

Mr Purdy said there should be an "assurance and transparency initiative for all telecom equipment suppliers", with significant involvement from Australian network operators. Mr Purdy said Huawei was willing to fully participate in any oversight initiatives.

 

Last week, Huawei dissolved its Australian board, including chairman John Lord's position, facing growing job losses linked to the ban on its participation in 5G.

 

Australia was the first country to ban the company from supplying technology for 5G networks. The United States also announced a prohibition while Britain has diverged from its key intelligence allies, allowing Huawei limited involvement in its rollout.

 

Earlier this year, a former Australian intelligence official went public to detail how the government investigated whether it was "possible to prevent a sophisticated state actor from accessing our networks through a vendor", ultimately concluding it could not be done.

 

"We asked ourselves, if we had the powers akin to the 2017 Chinese Intelligence Law to direct a company which supplies 5G equipment to telco networks, what could we do with that and could anyone stop us?" Simeon Gilding wrote for the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

 

"We concluded that we could be awesome, no one would know and, if they did, we could plausibly deny our activities, safe in the knowledge that it would be too late to reverse billions of dollars’ worth of investment."

Resignations in the news

 

Senate president to quit at next election

 

Senate President Scott Ryan will resign at the next election after 14 years in parliament.

 

The coalition senator from Victoria announced his decision on Twitter on Sunday.

 

"Today I announced to my annual BBQ for Liberal members and supporters that this will be my last term in parliament," he said.

 

"It has been a privilege to represent the people of Victoria for over a decade, to serve as a minister and currently as President of the Senate, only the second Victorian to do so."

 

He served in various assistant ministry roles and as vocational education minister under the Turnbull government before being appointed senate president in 2017.

 

As Senate president, he oversaw and regulated the upper house.

 

Senator Ryan said he was unwilling to commit to continuing until 2028 and wanted to provide sufficient notice to the Liberal Party.

Konica Minolta names new Australian MD as David Cooke resigns

 

Konica Minolta Australia has announced a top level shake-up with chairman and managing director David Cooke resigning from the company.

 

The outgoing managing director will stay with the company until mid-July, the end of the Japanese-based printer vendor's financial year, while his replacement Yohei Konaka will take over from April.

 

On his resignment, Cooke said he had “very mixed feelings” about leaving Konica Minolta Australia.

 

“The choice of replacement however, gives me considerable confidence with regards to the future success of the company,” he said.

 

“I’m confident that Yohei will continue to build on the reputation Konica Minolta Australia has as a leader in areas such as human rights and ethical sourcing in line with the company strategy aimed at creating value for business, customers and society and meeting our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and delivering that into the future.”

George Pell appeal: cardinal's lawyers say jury was wrong to reject defence arguments

 

High court justices hear arguments on why they should grant Pell leave to appeal his conviction for child sexual abuse

 

The high-profile barrister Bret Walker SC has argued jurors who convicted Cardinal George Pell of child sexual abuse were wrong to reject arguments from his defence about the improbability of the offending occurring.

 

On Wednesday morning Pell’s final chance of appealing his verdict began before the full high court bench of seven justices in Canberra. The court is yet to grant Pell leave to appeal his conviction – first, it is hearing arguments from Walker as to why the appeal should be allowed. It may grant or deny the appeal at any time.

 

Outside the court, Pell supporters who arrived together on a bus gathered holding crosses and a sign that read “We are praying for you Papa”. A victim advocate held up a sign that read “Go to hell Pell”.

 

Walker opened by telling the bench, led by the chief justice, Susan Kiefel, that questions of the complainant’s credibility combined with the improbability of the offending occurring should have led jurors who convicted Pell to hold a reasonable doubt as to his guilt. The jury’s perception of the complainant’s credibility should not have alone persuaded them beyond reasonable doubt, Walker said.

 

“It is an extreme fallacy for anyone to assume the credibility of the complainant will supply an answer to reasonable doubt raised via evidence to which the complainant says nothing,” Walker said.

 

Justice Virginia Bell put it to Walker that the high court was not concerned with credibility, given it was up to jurors to decide that. If the court did decide to hear the appeal, Bell said it would proceed with the acceptance that “the witness impressed the jury as a truthful witness”.

 

Walker said he was “at pains to point out” that belief in a complaint did not eliminate coexisting reasonable doubt as to the accused’s guilt.

 

Doubt “… could not be eliminated [just] because the jury had manifestly been impressed by the complaint”, Walker said. He said this was because the complainant’s evidence, even if it was impressive and believable, did not address questions of doubt raised by the defence, such as a lack of opportunity for the offending to have occurred.

 

The court also grappled with whether Victorian appellant court judges, who dismissed Pell’s first appeal by a majority of three-to-one, may have been unduly influenced by the complainant’s testimony by watching a recorded video of it rather than just reading the transcript. Walker said it may have led the judges who dismissed the appeal to give too much weight to the complainant’s evidence rather the evidence in its entirety.

 

Pell’s master of ceremonies at the time of the offending, Charles Portelli, gave evidence during the trial that Pell would usually remain on the front steps of the cathedral after mass greeting parishioners for anywhere up to 20 minutes. If this were the case, Walker said, there would be no opportunity for Pell to offend in the sacristy. Prosecutor’s argued at trial that while standing on the steps became Pell’s custom, it was not yet custom after he first became Archbishop in 1996, and other witnesses gave evidence that there were occasions when this meet and greet might be skipped or cut short.

 

Walker told the high court the prosecution had not discredited Portelli’s evidence. His evidence was “material on the basis of which you can not eliminate the possibility that the archbishop was on the front steps.” That “forensically” put a “full-stop” on any chance to offend, Walker said. “That’s another point that says it was not open to find guilt, on the balance, beyond reasonable doubt,” he said.

 

He said it was not the defence’s role to prove Pell was innocent, but “… to demonstrate there were unexcluded possibilities to show it was not open to the jury to convict”.

Court again rejects bid to speed up extradition proceedings against Malka Leifer

 

An Israeli court has again rejected a bid to speed up extradition proceedings against alleged child abuser Malka Leifer, sparking renewed calls from an Australian MP to immediately send the former Melbourne school principal back to the country.

 

Labor MP Josh Burns has written to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin calling for the court proceedings to be completed "as expeditiously as possible" to allow Ms Leifer to be extradited to Australia.

 

According to a report by Israel's Channel 13, the Jerusalem District Court this week rejected the state attorney office's request to set a date as soon as possible for the formal extradition proceedings.

 

Judge Miriam Lomp said the required legal proceedings had not yet been completed and the request had no legal basis.

 

"I was a young woman and have since matured, yet never have I seen such a request," the judge said, according to the media report.

 

"Instead of acting in accordance with the instructions of the court, and advising its stance on the matters of investigating defence experts and the question of re-examining additional witness testimonies, the petitioner decided to submit an idle request without any legal basis."

 

In his visit to Australia last month, Mr Rivlin told Australian MPs he would take up the extradition case with his country's chief justice if no progress was made during court hearings that week.

 

Ms Leifer faces 74 counts of sexual assault in Victoria related to accusations by three sisters who say they were abused while she was a teacher and principal at the Adass Israel ultra-Orthodox Jewish school in Melbourne.

 

Mr Burns, whose Melbourne electorate of Macnamara takes in the school, wrote to Mr Rivlin on Tuesday to again raise concerns about the "constant delays" in the extradition case.

 

"The extradition process of Malka Leifer has gone on far too long and Australians are expressing their increasing frustration with the endless delays," Mr Burns wrote.

 

"While I make clear we do not wish to interfere with the independent judicial process currently under way, I again put our request that the extradition proceedings be completed as expeditiously as possible."

 

Mr Burns also called on Israel authorities to investigate allegations its Health Minister, Yaakov Litzman, interfered in the extradition case.

 

Since extradition proceedings were first brought by Australia more than five years ago, there have been more than 60 court hearings and the case still has not moved to the formal extradition phase.

 

Ms Leifer's defence lawyers argued she was mentally unfit to be extradited, but a psychiatric panel declared she was fit to stand trial in January this year.

Essential poll: Scott Morrison regains lead as preferred prime minister after bushfire backlash

 

Latest survey shows PM also increased approval rating despite government’s ongoing ‘sports rorts’ scandal

 

Scott Morrison has pulled back in front of Anthony Albanese as preferred prime minister, and Morrison has recorded a slight improvement in his approval rating as the coronavirus has dominated the headlines, according to the latest Guardian Essential poll.

 

As the government moves to finalise its stimulus package, the latest survey finds Morrison is preferred as prime minister by 40% of the sample and Albanese by 35% – a five-point rebound.

 

The prime minister lost his lead on the head-to-head preferred prime minister measure in January during the sharp voter backlash over the catastrophic summer bushfires, and the slump was sustained. Last month Morrison and Albanese were level pegging on 36%.

 

Morrison’s approval has also increased from 39% to 41% in a month, and his disapproval has gone from 52% to 49%. Albanese’s approval is steady on 41% and the Labor leader’s disapproval is up two points from 31% to 33%. These movements are largely inside the poll’s margin of error, which is plus or minus 3%.

 

The poll also suggests Australian voters have a firmer fix on Morrison than Albanese. Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the prime minister’s performance, only 10% of the survey said they didn’t know, while a quarter of the sample is still on the fence about Albanese. But the trend in the survey suggests people are beginning to develop clearer views about the Labor leader. Last July, 37% of the sample didn’t know whether they approved or disapproved, compared with 26% now.

 

The mild recovery for Morrison comes as the government finalises a multi-billion dollar stimulus to try and stave off a domestic recession triggered by the coronavirus. Morrison on Tuesday warned the economic effects of the pandemic could be worse than the global financial crisis.

 

The government has signalled that a new business investment allowance, a financial boost for pensioners through changes to deeming rates, and immediate support for small and medium-sized businesses will form part of the stimulus package, which is expected to be unveiled before Morrison meets the premiers this Friday at the Council of Australian Governments. The treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, has also softened the ground for some form of handout to boost consumption, confirming the government will look to support people through the tax and transfer system to ensure “the support gets out there as fast as possible”.

 

Ahead of the stimulus package, the government will unveil a $2.4 billion health package aimed at boosting the capacity of the sector to cope with the outbreak and slowing the spread of the virus.

 

The Morrison government also continues to be dogged by the sports grants controversy, which shows no sign of abating. Senate hearings are under way to try and untangle mismanagement in the grants program that was savaged by the Australian National Audit Office.

 

…..

 

According to responses to a series of questions posed this week about which major party is best placed to manage particular events – voters continue to rate the Coalition as better than Labor at managing both a major health crisis and an economic one – even though the then Rudd government’s management of the global financial crisis helped keep Australia out of recession.

 

The Coalition is also rated ahead of Labor on managing security threats and on managing the challenge of Australia’s ageing of the population. Labor is rated ahead of the Coalition on managing a major environmental crisis, and also managing the transition to a low carbon economy.

 

Voters in the sample were also asked more specific questions about economic management. A majority said the Coalition was better at managing the economy to benefit big business, and a majority thought Labor was better at managing the economy to benefit workers.

 

The government was rated ahead of Labor at managing the economy generally and managing the economy to benefit small business, while Labor was in front on managing the economy to benefit older Australians and people in regional communities.

Child sex abuse victim says Anglican Church fobbed her off, then offered payout in exchange for silence

 

Anglican Church officials wrongly told a woman who was sexually abused more than 60 years ago they had to hold off resolving her complaint, then offered a payout and an apology if she agreed to a gag clause.

 

The church's Brisbane diocese has admitted to again failing Beth Heinrich over her 1995 complaint, which culminated in then-governor-general Peter Hollingworth publicly blaming her for a priest sexually exploiting her as a 15-year-old.

 

Its apology for causing her "additional trauma and distress" through "unacceptable delays" came a day after the ABC questioned its latest missteps in the case, which led to Dr Hollingworth's public downfall but still fuels calls for him to be stripped of millions of dollars of public benefits.

 

The diocese in January belatedly offered Ms Heinrich up to $30,000 for its mishandling of her complaint, which Dr Hollingworth dismissed repeatedly when he was archbishop of Brisbane.

 

The offer was a fraction of the $200,000 she sought — a figure she said was increased after independent legal advice and church officials in Melbourne advising that her original request for $50,000 was too little.

 

The Brisbane diocese also told her in January it was "happy to provide an apology" but this should be kept "confidential" until its Melbourne counterpart ended a separate investigation into whether Dr Hollingworth should be stripped of his Holy Orders.

 

Its request for secrecy contrasted with Dr Hollingworth's widely publicised 2002 comments on ABC TV's Australian Story program that it was "not sex abuse" by priest, and later bishop, Donald Shearman, but "rather the other way round".

 

"It was devastating for me at the time [and] I'm still really angry about it because there's been no ending to it," Ms Heinrich told the ABC.

 

"[Dr Hollingworth] knew the true story but he chose to lie about me and victim blame."

 

A church spokesman said: "The Brisbane diocese acknowledges there have been unacceptable delays in finalising a redress claim of Ms Beth Heinrich".

 

"The diocese apologises that this has caused her additional trauma and distress," the spokesman said.

 

'Most extraordinary case'

 

Child protection expert and University of South Australia adjunct professor Chris Goddard said Ms Heinrich's was "the most extraordinary case of so-called secondary abuse I have ever seen".

 

He helped Ms Heinrich prepare her testimony to the royal commission into child sexual abuse, with a 300-page presentation involving about 70 documents.

 

"To my knowledge [Dr Hollingworth] has never publicly apologised for the public humiliation of Beth," Professor Goddard said.

 

In 2005, the Bathurst Anglican diocese paid Ms Heinrich $100,000 over Mr Shearman's abuse of her while running the church hostel where she was a school boarder in the 1950s.

 

Ms Heinrich said she decided to press a complaint over Brisbane diocese's mishandling of the matter, after it advertised in a newspaper for survivors to come forward in the wake of the royal commission into child sex abuse in institutions.

 

In October 2017, the diocese told her it had "little option but to wait for the findings of the Melbourne investigation before [we] can advance and conclude the consideration of your complaints and claim".

 

'Happy to consider an apology'

 

It said any examination of her complaint "could not be safely concluded until the findings of the Melbourne committee are known, and may risk prejudicing the Melbourne investigation".

 

However, the diocese changed its tune in August 2018 after Ms Heinrich questioned the delay.

 

It told her that it "might be possible to deal with your claim on a private and confidential basis without waiting for the outcome" from Melbourne.

 

It said the diocese was "happy to consider an apology" but it would be "better delivered" after Melbourne's findings.

 

Any settlement would need to be "private and confidential" so as "not to prejudice" the other investigation, it said.

 

But Melbourne church officials contradicted this last November.

 

"I can confirm that any compensation or redress paid to you will not impact the investigation," Kooyoora Ltd executive director Fiona Boyle said in a letter.

Spygate Could Make Watergate Look Like A Third-Rate Burglary

 

The investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham into the origins of the FBI’s Russian collusion investigation – or as President Trump prefers to call it, the witch hunt – continues to expand. Durham reportedly opened criminal investigations last fall. And unlike the narrow Justice Department Inspector General’s review of the abuse of the FISA process, Durham is looking into the questionable activities of other government agencies, in particular the CIA and its former director John Brennan.

 

The widening scope involves not only the agencies being investigated, but who was being targeted and why. Earlier last week Sharyl Attkisson reported that, based on her sources in the intelligence and law enforcement communities, the authorizations to spy on Trump functionaries such as Carter Page or former campaign manager Paul Manafort were actually pretexts for a much more expansive web of surveillance that could include anyone in contact with Page, or even anyone twice removed from the ostensible target. Hence, thousands of people could have been unknowingly caught up in the Spygate web and are still unaware that their privacy had been violated under the severely compromised FISA process.

 

This ties into the whirlwind of “unmaskings” during the 2016-17 transition period. Names of people inadvertently caught up in this expansive web, which ordinarily would be classified and their privacy interests protected, were revealed and information sent to Democratic allies in Capitol Hill for “safe keeping.” Judicial Watch has chronicled how Obama’s United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others, colluded in this effort to bolster the “insurance policy” to hobble the Trump presidency.

 

There is also the matter of President Obama finalizing rules in the closing days of his administration that opened the raw, unedited information feeds collected by the National Security Agency to all of the 16 other agencies in the Intelligence Community before any privacy protections are implemented. This ill-considered and unnecessary rule change vastly expanded the potential for abuse in the system and was a curious move for Obama to make in the waning days of his presidency.

 

However, it makes perfect sense if you believe that Obama officials were doing their utmost to put in place a bureaucratic infrastructure seeking to undermine the Trump administration before it began. Also, factor in the distrust of NSA head Admiral Michael S. Rogers, who met with President-elect Trump in November 2016 and allegedly blew the whistle on the Trump Tower wiretapping.

 

Essentially, Obama’s rule change took Rogers out of the equation and gave other agency heads like Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper the freedom to spread around whatever information the NSA was scooping up, whether relevant to Russia or not.

 

Thus, the people peripheral to Donald Trump who were the initial targets served principally as gateways to justify a massive domestic spying operation. And the ultimate target of this illicit activity was clearly Trump himself. It says a lot that given this unprecedented abuse of domestic spying, with the coup cabal having unfettered access to the virtually unlimited information collected by the Intelligence Community, and after two years of brutal investigation by the Mueller team, the effort to show ties between Trump and Russia came up empty. But the insurance policy at least achieved part of its objective in severely damaging the Trump administration in its first years.

 

Another important question yet to be resolved is when Spygate started. For example, George Papadopoulos was being targeted by foreign intelligence services like Australia, perhaps at Brennan’s behest, months before Donald Trump was the Republican nominee. This raises the question, were members of other then-still active Republican campaigns being targeted in this time frame as well? Was this part of a general push to begin weaving the Russian collusion story against any potential GOP 2016 nominee, and not just Trump? If the answer to that question is yes, then it will be clear that the entire enterprise was not an intelligence operation at all but a criminal political conspiracy of unprecedented scope and impact. It would indeed make Watergate look like a third-rate burglary.

PICACC celebrates first year; firm in its resolve to end online sexual exploitation of children

 

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Center (PICACC) celebrated its first-year anniversary today in Camp Crame in Manila. Since its inauguration on February 27, 2019, PICACC has been firm on pursuing its mission of combatting the online exploitation of children. The online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) is one of the most alarming forms of human trafficking in the Philippines today. Sex offenders and predators anywhere in the world can search online and pay to direct the sexual abuse of children.

 

The PICACC, a model for an enhanced global response against OSEC, is a cooperation among local and international law enforcement, namely the Philippine National Police’s Women and Children Protection Center (PNP-WCPC), the National Bureau of Investigation’s Anti-Human-Trafficking Division (NBI-AHTRAD), the Australian Federal Police (AFP), and the United Kingdom National Crime Agency (UK NCA); in partnership with non-government organization, International Justice Mission (IJM).

 

In its first year, the PICACC has had 41 operations which led to the rescue of 136 victims and children-at-risk of OSEC and the arrest of 41 suspected OSEC local traffickers. 3 traffickers have been convicted and 36 have ongoing adjudication.

 

Atty. Janet Francisco, Chief of NBI-AHTRAD is pleased to witness the strides the PICACC has made, working together to save the children from online sexual exploitation. She said, “We want the PICACC to be the biggest threat to perpetrators of OSEC. We will continue to be vigilant in our pursuit of those who take advantage of our children.”

 

One of the highlights from the many accomplishments of the PICACC last year took place on April 12, 2019. On that day, a joint operation between PNP-WCPC and NBI-AHTRAD, supported by the PICACC, resulted in the arrest of Europol’s most wanted criminal, Nelson Turayno, who on December 16, 2019 was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to producing child sexual exploitation materials under Republic Act No. 9775. Turayno is still facing other charges of qualified trafficking, acts of lasciviousness and rape.

 

PBGEN Alessandro Abella, Chief of the PNP-WCPC is honored by the work of his team and the partners who support them. “We are grateful for the deepening support and partnership among local and international law enforcement agencies. The PICACC’s successes benefits the world. We will continue to grow in our ability to detect, investigate, and enforce the law to ensure that the victims of OSEC are rescued and that their perpetrators both here and abroad are brought to account for their crimes,” Abella said.

 

The AFP and the UK NCA built investigation capability through delivery of strategic training to enhance the law enforcement response and activities conducted by the PNP-WCPC and NBI-AHTRAD and their corresponding regional officers. Further, both agencies have brought key PNP and NBI leadership and investigators to their respective jurisdictions to learn about their country’s enforcement strategies. These trainings aim to increase capability of law enforcement to bring rescue to children victimized by this crime.

 

Detective Superintendent Andrew Perkins, AFP Senior Officer to the Philippines reinforced the AFP’s continued commitment to the PICACC stating that combatting child exploitation within Australia and offshore, including the Philippines, is a key priority for the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation.

 

“Our collaborative cross-border efforts to protect children have significantly increased since the establishment of the PICACC. Child sex offenders operating in the Philippines and abroad have been disrupted and child victims of online sexual exploitation have been rescued and removed from harm. Furthermore, the work undertaken by the PICACC has strengthened prosecution cases in Australia, identified further suspect offenders and generated intelligence leads and more investigations,” Perkins remarked.

 

…..

 

The PICACC, led by NBI-AHTRAD and PNP-WCPC, serves as a model showing how international collaboration is an incredible tool in fighting OSEC. It is continuing to expand its capability, personnel, and facilities to increase and strengthen its ability to rescue and protect the survivors of OSEC.

WA Bishop Christopher Saunders steps down over ‘serious sex abuse allegations’

 

West Australian Catholic Bishop Christopher Saunders has stood down from his senior role administering the Broome diocese amid claims of serious but undisclosed sex abuse allegations.

 

The Catholic Church in Perth issued a communique from the Vatican, dated 10 March, indicating that Bishop Saunders, 70, had “voluntarily stood aside from the ordinary administration of the diocese.”

 

The church move was in response to a Channel Seven TV report that police have been investigating historic allegations by two men that they had been victims of sex abuse by Bishop Saunders.

 

According to the Seven report, WA police have interviewed past and present members of the Bishop’s staff, including priests, who allegedly laid complaints against his behaviour. No charges have been laid against him.

 

WA Police minister Michelle Roberts confirmed to The Australian that she had “directly referred correspondence in relation to Bishop Saunders to police.”

 

When confronted by a reporter in Broome outside his church, Bishop Saunders said: “Without any reservation, without any doubt whatsoever, that has never happened, and it never would happen.”

 

He is one of the Kimberley’s most prominent religious figures, respected as an advocate and outspoken commentator on indigenous affairs and education in the region.

 

He spent his early life at missions throughout the northwest of the state before moving to the Kimberley. He arrived in Broome as a deacon in 1975 before becoming a priest the following year.

 

He served at La Grange Mission, 200 kilometres south of Broome and then at Kalumburu Mission, in the far north Kimberley, until 1988. As Bishop, he has been a regular visitor to far-flung Aboriginal communities.

 

Former Broome mayor Ron Johnstone, a friend of the bishop, said the airing of the allegations would be “a shock to Broome and the Kimberley.”

 

“Bishop Saunders is a visionary who has done fantastic work for the community,” he said. “He is a generous spirit, and I will not desert him in his hour of need,” he said.

Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson test positive for coronavirus at hospital in Australia

 

American actor, who is starring in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis film, and his wife say they are to be isolated while they recover

 

The US actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, have been diagnosed with coronavirus while filming in Australia.

 

The 63-year-old Academy Award-winning actor is currently on the Gold Coast in Queensland filming Baz Luhrmann’s untitled production about Elvis Presley.

 

Hanks wrote on Instagram on Thursday that after he and Wilson had been feeling “a bit tired, like we had colds” they arranged to be tested for the virus and had been “found to be positive”.

 

“We felt a bit tired, like we had colds and some body aches,” he wrote on his official Instagram page.

 

“Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus, and were found to be positive.

 

“Well, now. What to do next? The medical officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?”

 

The Guardian understands that early on Thursday morning cast and crew attached to the film received an email instructing them to stay away from set after a member of the production tested positive for the virus.

 

The premier of Queensland, Annastacia Palaszczuk, said on Thursday that health officials would conduct contact tracing to determine who had been in close contact with Hanks and Wilson.

 

“People who have come in close contact with Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson will now need to self isolate and quarantine,” she said.

 

Famously approachable, Hanks had regularly posed for photos with fans at Coolangatta Beach on the Gold Coast and a cafe near Mount Warning on the New South Wales far north coast.

 

But the premier said she did not believe a selfie would constitute close contact.

 

“Tom has been having a wonderful time on the Gold Coast and we are so lucky to have Tom in Queensland,” she said.

 

“But what it is, is people who have come in very close contact with him in recent days [our] experts will now work very closely with him with Baz [Luhrmann] and all the cast the crew and then they will isolate those people who have been in that close proximity.

 

“From what the chief health officer has told me it’s over 15 minutes of being in very close contact, so a selfie wouldn’t count as that.”

 

She said Hanks and Wilson would receive “the best treatment in our hospital”.

 

“I’m very confident with the physicians that we have that will be treating Tom and his wife and like I said we wish them all the very best for a speedy recovery,” she said.

 

“I know the thoughts of Queenslanders and all Australians are with Tom and Rita during this time.”

 

In the lead up to shooting, normal practice would involve lead actors to have close contact with wardrobe and hair and makeup departments for screen tests and sound tests. These often involve close physical contact with potentially dozens of crew.

 

Production on the Luhrmann film had been set to begin filming on Monday. In a statement the US production company behind the film, Warner Bros, said it was “taking precautions” to protect its employees.

 

“The health and safety of our company members is always our top priority, and we are taking precautions to protect everyone who works on our productions around the world,” the company said in a statement.

 

“We have been made aware that a company member from our Elvis feature film, which is currently in pre-production in The Gold Coast, Australia, has tested positive for Covid-19 (coronavirus).

 

“We are working closely with the appropriate Australian health agencies to identify and contact anyone who may have come in direct contact with the individual.

 

“The individual who tested positive for Covid-19 is currently receiving treatment.”

 

Hanks and Wilson, who is an American singer and actor, had been travelling to different locations in Australia and had posted photos from Sydney and Brisbane on Instagram.

 

Wilson performed at the famous Sydney Opera House over the weekend and had appeared on the Nine breakfast morning show Today earlier in the week.

Chelsea Manning attempts suicide in her jail cell and is resuscitated by guards following her refusal to testify before grand jury investigating WikiLeaks and Julian Assange

 

Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning attempted suicide inside her Virginia jail cell and was resuscitated by prison guards, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

 

Sources said Manning – who has been held in custody since May for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks and Julian Assange – tried to hang herself with a sheet inside Alexandra Detention Center.

 

The 31-year-old still had a pulse when she was found at around 1pm, however, and DailyMail.com understands she was still breathing while en route to the hospital.

 

Manning previously spent seven years in military prison for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified US documents to WikiLeaks in 2010.

 

But she told a judge last May she would rather starve to death than change her decision to testify about it in front of a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.

 

Manning’s lawyers have called for her to be set free and UN special rapporteur Nilz Melzer has denounced her captivity as a form of torture.

 

'A jail deputy discovered her while conducting a check in the special housing unit where Chelsea is being housed,' a source told DailyMail.com.

 

'They found her with a sheet around her neck. Other deputies arrived and first aid was administered before she was taken to the hospital.'

 

Manning was originally sentenced to 35 years for leaking to WikiLeaks but was released in May 2017 after President Barack Obama commuted her time in prison.

 

The insider said Manning is expected to recover and was well enough last night to be able to communicate with medical staff.

 

'It was a close run thing. Chelsea was unconscious, she was blue and unresponsive, but the deputies were able to resuscitate her,' the insider added.

 

'They did a great job keeping her life. Nobody wants a repeat of the Jeffrey Epstein fiasco.'

 

Manning, a transgender woman whom supporters call a whistleblower, passed more 700,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks that exposed possible war crimes and internal US communications about other countries.

 

Manning’s attorney, Moira Meltzer-Cohen, confirmed her suicide attempt in a statement to DailyMail.com.

 

'On Wednesday March 11 Chelsea Manning attempted to take her own life. She was taken to a hospital and is currently recovering,' she said.

 

'Ms. Manning is still scheduled to appear on Friday for a previously calendared hearing, at which Judge Anthony Trenga will rule on a motion to terminate the civil contempt sanctions stemming from her May, 2019 refusal to give testimony before a grand jury investigating the publication of her 2010 disclosures.

 

'In spite of those sanctions - which have so far included over a year of so-called "coercive" incarceration and nearly half a million dollars in threatened fines - she remains unwavering in her refusal to participate in a secret grand jury process that she sees as highly susceptible to abuse.'

 

Meltzer-Cohen said Manning had previously indicated that she 'will not betray her principles, even at risk of grave harm to herself'.

 

She added: 'Her actions today evidence the strength of her convictions, as well as the profound harm she continues to suffer as a result of her "civil" confinement - a coercive practice that the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, recently said violates international law.'

 

City of Alexandria Sheriff Dana Lawhorne told DailyMail.com in a statement: 'There was an incident at approximately 12:11pm today at the Alexandria Adult Detention Center involving inmate Chelsea Manning.

 

'It was handled appropriately by our professional staff and Ms. Manning is safe.'

 

In March of last year Manning was called to testify to a grand jury - a panel investigating major crimes that operates in secrecy - about her work with the site’s founder, Assange.

 

When Manning refused and accused the government of abusing the grand jury process a judge found her in contempt of court and jailed her indefinitely.

 

She was released two months later when the grand jury's mandate expired but and was called to testify before another one, asking many of the same questions.

George Pell's High Court appeal sees prosecutors defend appeal judges' viewing of victim's video testimony

 

The second Day of George Pell's appeal hearing in the High Court has opened with prosecutors defending the Victorian Court of Appeal viewing video of the victim's testimony.

 

Pell is serving six years' jail for molesting two choirboys in the 1990s, when he was the archbishop of Melbourne.

 

He is convicted of committing the crimes after he found the boys swigging altar wine in the priests' sacristy after mass in Melbourne's St Patrick's Cathedral.

 

A jury convicted him in 2018 — a decision that the Victorian Court of Appeal upheld in a two-to-one decision.

 

But his lawyers have gone to the High Court, saying the appeal court failed to take proper account of evidence that cast doubt on his guilt.

 

During yesterday's hearing Pell's lawyer, Bret Walker SC, argued the Victorian appeal judges may have been unduly convinced by the video.

 

Under intense questioning, Victoria's Director of Public Prosecutions, Kerri Judd QC, today told the court that the videos formed part of the evidence and it was the Court of Appeal which requested to view them.

 

"It wasn't the Crown's idea and it wasn't the Crown advancing the point about demeanour," Ms Judd said.

 

But she said the video furnished the judges with an impression of the victim's demeanour which was vital because "credibility issues were up front and centre".

 

Victim's demeanour a 'relevant consideration'

 

On the first day of the appeal, Pell's legal team argued there were inconsistencies in the victim's evidence, which they said were signs he was "embellishing and fantasising".

 

Today, Ms Judd argued that the victim's demeanour was a "relevant consideration".

 

"Demeanour is not something that the Court of Appeal are prevented from looking at and considering," she said.

 

"The question then becomes not whether or not they looked at demeanour … but whether or not they were unduly influenced by demeanour."

 

The Crown's contention is that the victim has long been truthful.

 

On the issue of undue influence, Justice Viriginia Bell drew Ms Judd to the Crown's closing address in the cardinal's case, when the prosecutor invited the jury to recall the victim closing his eyes on two occasions to remember something.

 

"It may be that watching and seeing the complainant close his eyes and think back impressed members of the jury as an evidence sign of truthfulness," Justice Bell said.

 

But others, she noted, might see it as the victim fabricating his answer.

 

"My point is that it's such a subjective consideration that it's very difficult to see how the Appellate Court … can be assisted by its own subjective view of matters of that character," Justice Bell said.

 

Ms Judd said that ultimately, reliability and credibility of a witness was "primarily and essentially" a matter for the jury.

 

She said that though there was some evidence which could point to innocence, it did not mean the jury was unable to find Pell guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

 

Evidence moves to the priest's sacristy

 

Ms Judd told the High Court the evidence presented was enough for the original jury to convict Cardinal Pell beyond reasonable doubt.

 

She pointed to the victim's intimate knowledge of the priest's sacristy, where he says he was abused, as evidence which corroborated his story.

 

But Justice Geoffrey Nettle asked what evidence there was which placed the victim in the sacristy.

 

"This witness gave positive evidence that he had not been in that room before," Ms Judd said.

 

She rejected the notion, put forward by the defence, that he could have once toured the room.

 

"He's in that room and he's describing it in such detail that if something's happened when he's in that room, it's indelibly marked on his memory," Ms Judd said.

 

"This is not just a quick look in this room. Something significant has happened in that room."

 

But under questioning, she conceded that the pivotal five or six minute window, during which time the abuse is said to have occurred, could have been longer.

 

Outside the court, a group of Pell supporters from Sydney who clashed with an abuse survivors' advocate yesterday gathered again this morning.

Man charged over George Pell death threats

 

A Melbourne man has been charged with making threats against George Pell, as the disgraced cardinal’s High Court bid for freedom continues.

 

The 49-year-old Brunswick man was charged on Wednesday with making a bomb threat and making three threats to kill Pell.

 

Documents obtained by AAP confirm Pell, 78, was the target.

 

The man is accused of making one of the threats directly to Pell on March 2.

 

Two other charges allege the man made the threats against Pell to another person, who works alongside Pell’s specialist appeals barrister Bret Walker SC.

 

The man is also accused of knowingly spreading false information about an explosive device in Victoria on the same day.

 

Pell’s legal team are currently in Canberra fighting for him to be granted a final appeal against his convictions for sexually abusing two 13-year-old choirboys at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne in the 1990s.

 

Mr Walker completed his arguments in Pell’s case on Wednesday. Victoria’s Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd QC began presenting her case on Thursday.

 

The Brunswick man was bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on July 9.

One step closer to justice?

 

The Malka Leifer case will return to court on Wednesday, March 18; Labor MP Josh Burns says, 'We will not rest until Malka Leifer faces trial in Australia'.

 

MALKA Leifer’s alleged victims hope they are “one step closer” to justice after a Jerusalem court judge decided not to allow any more defence witnesses to cross-examine a psychiatric panel who assessed Leifer’s mental state.

 

The decision means the next court hearing on Wednesday, March 18 will hear summaries of the defence and prosecution’s cross-examinations.

 

It comes amid another setback in the case, however, after the Jerusalem District Court this week reportedly dismissed a request by the state attorney office’s to speed up extradition proceedings.

 

According to Israel’s Channel 13, Judge Chana Lomp said the request was “without any legal basis”, noting the required legal proceedings had not yet been completed.

 

Meanwhile, Labor MP Josh Burns – who has been advocating for Leifer to face justice in Australia, where she faces 74 charges of child sexual abuse – has written to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin following their meeting last month during the President’s visit to Australia.

 

Stating, “While I make clear we do not wish to interfere with the independent judicial process currently under way,” Burns said, “I again put our request that the extradition proceedings be completed as expeditiously as possible.”

 

During their meeting, Rivlin vowed to personally intervene in the Leifer case if no progress was made in the latest round of court hearings in Israel.

 

Burns reiterated to Rivlin this week, “We will not rest until Malka Leifer faces trial in Australia.”

 

Burns, Caulfield MP David Southwick and former Victorian premier Ted Baillieu will be among attendees at an event in Melbourne on Sunday in support of the #BringLeiferBack campaign.

 

The Loud Fence movement, a grassroots initiative that ties ribbons to show support to all victims and survivors of child sexual abuse, will tie ribbons around the fence of Adass Israel School, where Leifer was principal before fleeing to Israel.

 

Community members have been invited to join the event which will be held at the school’s Beavis St, Elsternwick gate at 5.30pm on Sunday. Ribbons may be tied from 3pm onwards.

Apple cops Dutton's scorn over US meeting

 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has taken a swipe at tech giant Apple for not showing up to a meeting on encryption laws.

 

Mr Dutton was in the United States to finalise a deal with the White House to give Australian law enforcement better access to data held by US companies.

 

He says the laws are aimed at breaking up pedophile and terrorist networks that use encrypted communications.

 

"Apple didn't even bother to turn up to the meeting," Mr Dutton told 2GB on Thursday.

 

"There are companies that have platforms … protecting pedophiles through encryption, and we want to bring an end to that."

 

The Morrison government introduced new laws to parliament last week, which would allow the US to access Australians' telecommunications data.

 

The laws are needed for a deal to set up reciprocal arrangements with the US, with Australia hoping to request communications held by companies like Apple or Facebook.

 

The tech giants have baulked at laws allowing access to encrypted messages, saying that introducing ways for law enforcement to access them meant they couldn't guarantee their security.

 

Mr Dutton said companies like Facebook or Apple aren't helping.

 

"They're saying that it's technically impossible for them to comply with and, as I say, it's completely unacceptable," he said.

George Pell: high court reserves decision on granting special leave for an appeal

 

The full bench of the high court in Canberra has reserved its decision about whether to grant Cardinal George Pell special leave to appeal his case for a final time, after listening to two days of arguments from his barrister and the prosecution.

 

The seven judges asked for further written submissions from the legal parties and have given them two business days to deliver. The bench will then consider those materials before returning to deliver their decision at a date yet to be determined. Once they return to court, if the court does grant special leave, the bench may then immediately decide whether to accept the arguments from Pell’s team and acquit him, or they could dismiss the appeal in which case the verdict would hold.

 

Pell, Australia’s most senior Catholic and the former financial controller of the Vatican, was in December 2018 convicted on five charges. They found him guilty of sexually abusing two 13 year-old choir boys in the priest’s sacristy after Sunday solemn mass when he was the Archbishop of Melbourne in 1996. He then assaulted one of the boys again a few weeks later. Pell is one year in to serving a six year prison sentence, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months.

 

On Wednesday Pell’s barrister, Bret Walker SC, argued that just because the complainant was believable, it should not discount other evidence that placed his evidence in doubt. Walker told the court that Victoria’s appellant judges, which dismissed Pell’s first appeal in 2019 by a majority of two-to-one, may have been unduly influenced by the complainant’s testimony by watching a recorded video of it rather than just reading the transcript of his evidence.

 

On Thursday as the director of the Office of Public Prosecutions, Kerri Judd, began her response, the bench questioned the decision of Victoria’s appellate court to watch video evidence from the complainant in Pell’s trial, asking whether it may have caused the majority of judges to give too much weight to the complainant’s compelling and believable demeanour rather than the trial evidence as a whole.

 

Judd responded by saying that given Pell’s legal team made so much of the complainant’s lack of credibility and believability, Victoria’s appellate court was entitled to watch the video. It did not mean they had elevated it above other evidence, or that they had not given due weight to other evidence from the trial, she said.

 

The chief justice, Susan Kiefel, responded that the difficulty with the appellate judges having viewed the complainant’s video was that “… the assessment of a witness by demeanour is so subjective”.

 

“It’s very difficult to say how it [the video of the complainant] affected an intermediate appellate court judge in terms of how they read the transcript,” Kiefel said. “That’s why you really shouldn’t do it [watch the video] … unless there is a forensic reason to do it. To what extent is this court to determine the extent to which the court of appeal was influenced by the video?”

 

It is not common for an appellate court to view video evidence, though it is becoming more common as technology is more frequently used. Appellate courts are often cautioned about usurping the jury’s role, and by viewing a transcript alone may be more capable of leaving questions of the demeanour of witnesses to the jury.

 

One of the witnesses Pell’s legal team says should have called the credibility of the complainant into doubt and raised reasonable doubt as to Pell’s offending was Monsignor Charles Portelli. Portelli gave evidence at trial that it was Pell’s practice to remain on the front steps of St Patrick’s Cathedral after Sunday solemn mass greeting parishioners. If this were the case, he could not have been in the priest’s sacristy abusing two choirboys.

 

But Judd responded that Portelli did not have convincing specific recollection of what Pell did on the dates in 1996 when the offending occurred. Portelli could not even remember if the choir processed out of the buildings on those occasions internally or externally, she said.

Chelsea Manning Is Ordered Released From Jail

 

The former Army analyst had been jailed last year for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.

 

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Thursday ordered the release of Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst who in 2010 leaked archives of military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks, and who was jailed last year for refusing to testify before a grand jury that is investigating the organization and its founder, Julian Assange.

 

The release came one day after Ms. Manning tried to kill herself and was hospitalized, according to her lawyers.

 

In a brief opinion, a Federal District Court judge overseeing the matter, Anthony J. Trenga, said that he also dismissed on Thursday the grand jury that Ms. Manning was refusing to testify before after finding that its business had concluded.

 

“The court finds that Ms. Manning’s appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed, in light of which her detention no longer serves any coercive purpose,” Judge Trenga wrote.

 

However, he said, Ms. Manning would still have to pay $256,000 in fines for her defiance of the subpoena. The judge wrote that “enforcement of the accrued, conditional fines would not be punitive but rather necessary to the coercive purpose of the court’s civil contempt order.”

 

Ms. Manning was originally jailed a year ago for contempt of court after initially refusing to testify about WikiLeaks and Mr. Assange, but was briefly released when the first grand jury expired. Prosecutors then obtained a new subpoena, and she was locked up again for defying it in May. The moves raise the possibility that prosecutors could start over a third time.

 

But supporters of Ms. Manning had believed that the grand jury was not set to terminate on March 12, raising the prospect that prosecutors and the judge decided to shut it down early to bring the matter to a close.

 

“It is my devout hope that she is released to us shortly, and that she is finally given a meaningful opportunity to rest and heal that she so richly deserves,” said her lawyer, Moira Meltzer-Cohen.

 

Joshua Stueve, a spokesman for the office of the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, declined to comment.

 

The archives that Ms. Manning provided to WikiLeaks in 2010, when she was an Army intelligence analyst posted in Iraq, helped vault the antisecrecy organization and Mr. Assange to global fame. The events took place years before their image and actions evolved with the publication of Democratic emails stolen by Russian hackers during the 2016 election.

 

Ms. Manning admitted sending the files to WikiLeaks in a court-martial trial. She also confessed to interacting online with someone who was probably Mr. Assange, but she said she had acted on principle and was not working for WikiLeaks.

 

Testimony showed that she had been deteriorating, mentally and emotionally, during the period when she downloaded the documents and sent them to WikiLeaks. Then known as Pfc. Bradley Manning, she was struggling with gender dysphoria under conditions of extraordinary stress and isolation while deployed to the Iraq war zone.

 

She was sentenced to 35 years in prison — the longest sentence by far in an American leak case. After her conviction, she changed her name to Chelsea and announced that she wanted to undergo gender transition, but was housed in a male military prison and twice tried to commit suicide in 2016.

 

In January 2017, President Barack Obama commuted most of the remainder of her sentence shortly before he left office. But she was swept back up into legal trouble last year when prosecutors investigating Mr. Assange subpoenaed her to testify before a grand jury about their interactions.

 

Although prosecutors granted immunity for her testimony, Ms. Manning had vowed not to cooperate in the investigation, saying she had ethical objections, and she was placed in civil detention for contempt of court.

 

Separately last year, the Justice Department unsealed criminal charges against Mr. Assange, who was living in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. Prosecutors initially charged him with a narrow hacking conspiracy offense, accusing him of agreeing to try to help Ms. Manning crack a password that would have let her log onto a military computer system under a different user account, covering her tracks.

PM Scott Morrison addresses nation on coronavirus health and economic plan

 

Scott Morrison has addressed the nation to ease growing fears of the coronavirus pandemic, the first time a prime minister has made such an appearance since Kevin Rudd spoke during the Global Financial Crisis.

The PM spoke of a three-part plan for Australia to guide us through what is shaping up to be the worst health crisis since the Spanish Flu.

"Rest assured, we are taking action and we have a clear plan," Mr Morrison said.

"The months ahead have many challenges but we will respond to them.

"We'll get through this together Australia. We all have a role to play."

 

The plan aligns with three pillars; health, jobs, and recovery.

 

Mr Morrison said travel bans already in place will help protect citizens from coronavirus.

 

A $2.4 billion national health response plan will include more than 100 pop-up clinics, support for aged care, public hospitals and increase our medical stockpile (medicine and masks).

 

The economic stimulus plan is worth $17.6 billion and includes one-off payments to large groups of those in need.

Coronavirus: PM addresses the nation on pandemic | Nine News Australia

 

TRANSCRIPT

12 Mar 2020

Parliament House, Canberra

 

Good evening Australia.

 

Tonight I want to talk to you about the global coronavirus, what it means for you and your family and what the Government is doing to see Australia through. This virus began in China and has now reached some 114 countries. More than 124,000 have contracted the virus, including 140 here in Australia. The medical experts tell us that for most Australians in good health, who contract the virus, they will experience a mild illness. That said, this virus is also highly transmissible and for those Australians whose health is more vulnerable, especially the elderly, the risk is more severe.

 

While this is a global health crisis, there are very real and significant economic impacts. For all of these reasons, we have been taking the Coronavirus very seriously. I want to assure you and your family tonight that while Australia, cannot and is not immune from this virus, we are well prepared and are well equipped to deal with it, and we do have a clear plan to see Australia through. Our plan has three goals.

 

  1. Protect Australians’ health

 

  1. Secure Australians’ jobs and livelihoods, and

 

  1. Set Australia up to bounce back stronger when the crisis is over.

 

Firstly, to protect Australians, we were one of the first countries to recognise the seriousness of the coronavirus.

 

  • We quickly established travel bans from the most affected countries, and scaled up screening on our borders.

 

  • We evacuated Australians from virus hotspots and set up quarantine facilities

 

  • And we have funded a $2.4 billion national health response plan to

 

  • set up more than 100 pop up clinics

 

  • and to provide support for aged care

 

  • Increase funding to Public hospitals, and

 

  • boost our National Medical Stockpile of essential medicines and masks.

 

Secondly, to keep Australians in jobs and businesses in business we have today announced a $17.6 billion economic stimulus plan:

 

  • we’re subsidising half the wages of 117,000 apprentices in small businesses

 

  • providing one-off $750 payments to more than 6 million Australians to spend in our economy now. Almost two and half million pensioners will receive this support.

 

  • there’s direct cash support of up to $25,000 for small and medium sized business that employ over seven million Australians, to boost their cash flow

 

  • And we’re backing businesses to keep investing by increasing tax incentives to help them buy new equipment now.

 

And thirdly, once the virus has run its course, we are making sure Australia can bounce back strongly. For the most affected regions and industries, like tourism and Upper North Queensland, there is a special $1 billion fund to support targeted local recovery plans. And as our economy bounces back, which it will, so will our Budget, because we have not loaded up spending off into the future. We can take this action now because we have worked hard to bring the budget back into balance, to maintain our AAA credit rating and work with State Governments to provide a world-class health system.

 

Now I know, many Australians are anxious about this and we still have a long way to go. But be assured we are taking action and we have a clear plan.

 

The months ahead will present many challenges, and we will respond to them. We will continue to keep you updated and take decisions based on the best possible medical advice. And if you have questions please visit health.gov.au or talk to your local GP.

 

We’ll get through this together Australia. We all have a role to play. Employers, nurses, doctors, teachers, scientists, friends, family and neighbours. I know we’ll all do our bit.

 

Thank you for listening tonight and good night Australia.

Westpac hit with third class action lawsuit over AUSTRAC scandal

 

Westpac has been hit with a third shareholder class action over allegations the bank failed to properly disclose the risk and extent of alleged anti-money laundering law breaches that are the basis of a lawsuit filed by the financial crimes regulator.

 

Melbourne-based corporate law firm Johnson Winter & Slattery served the country's oldest bank with the lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who acquired an interest in Westpac securities or equity swaps over the six-year period from December 16, 2013 and November 19 last year.

 

In November last year, financial crimes watchdog AUSTRAC served Westpac with an explosive statement of claim alleging the bank failed to properly vet 23 million payments, some of which could be linked to child exploitation and live child sex shows in the Philippines and other parts of south-east Asia. The scandal was followed by the resignation of chief executive Brian Hartzer and early retirement of chairman Lindsay Maxsted.

 

Westpac has signalled it will not fight the majority of the breaches alleged by AUSTRAC but a statement of agreed facts is yet to be released. This is the third shareholder class action filed as a result of the fallout, following suits by specialist law firm Phi Finney McDonald and international investor firm Rosen.

 

The lawsuit against Westpac and one of its prior executives will be bankrolled by litigation funder Burford Capital. A spokeswoman for Burford said the crux of the suit was "alleged systemic non-compliance" with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act.

 

While the share price of all big four banks took a battering on Friday morning as the market continued to tumble amid coronavirus fears, Westpac reacted worst to the news, diving as much as 7.6 per cent to $16.40. It recovered with the broader market to close up 2.1 per cent at $17.64.

Top Australian Army general to head military taskforce to manage coronavirus outbreak

 

One of Australia's most senior military leaders has been put in charge of a taskforce set up to tackle fallout from the coronavirus outbreak.

 

Lieutenant-general John Frewen has been selected to head up the new taskforce, which has been created by Defence to manage the military's response to the virus.

 

General Frewen is also the deputy director of the Australian Signals Directorate — the arm of Australia's intelligence community that deals with cyber warfare and foreign signals intelligence.

 

He previously commanded Australia's forces in the Middle East, heading up Australia's operations in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2017.

 

The decision to put a three-star general in charge of the new taskforce is a step up from the usual practice of appointing two-star generals to lead disaster or recovery taskforces, such as after the 2011 Queensland floods or in the recent Operation Bushfire Assist.

 

The coronavirus is wreaking havoc with large Defence gatherings, with the RAAF cancelling a major aviation conference that was due to take place in Canberra on March 24-25.

 

The Air Power Conference was expected to attract around 1000 military and aviation industry heavyweights from around the world.

 

In a statement, organisers said the conference would not go ahead due to concerns over containment of the coronavirus

 

They've decided to send delegates key speeches by email instead, and advised attendees to cancel their travel and accommodation.

 

"This difficult decision was made in the interests of all concerned," the statement said.

 

The Defence Department says the number of ADF personnel who've tested positive for coronavirus still stands at three.

 

The ABC understands one is a senior naval officer who recently returned to Australia from South East Asia, but is feared to have travelled to several Australian cities while having symptoms.

 

The Department has confirmed one male officer aged in his 40s travelled travelled to Canberra on February 28 and tested positive to coronavirus after he returned to Sydney.

 

ADF personnel who have flu-like symptoms have been instructed not to turn up to work or go onto military bases, but to seek medical treatment outside Defence property.

 

The virus' spread could also cast doubt on Australia's participation in several large-scale international military exercises in coming months.

 

The international air force exercise Pitch Black, scheduled for July, would involve more than 3000 military personnel from 13 different countries descending on Darwin for war games.

 

Australian troops are also due to take place in the world's biggest naval warfare exercise, RIMPAC, which would see 25,000 international troops gather in Hawaii in July.

Judge Napolitano says Trump should veto FISA bill: Nothing but 'cosmetic' reforms

 

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano had a message for President Trump on Thursday “Fox & Friends”: Veto the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) renewal bill that the House passed on Wednesday with broad bipartisan support.

 

The legislation reauthorizes FBI crime-fighting tools that were set to expire on Sunday and reforms the secret FISA court process that has been under the microscope in the Russia probe.

 

“I want the president to veto this because the president knows he has been victimized by this culture which allows suspicionless warrants on no basis whatsoever,” Napolitano said.

 

“Mr. President, if you are watching, tell them this is not good enough and it violates the Constitution and that you have been victimized by it,” he continued, speaking directly to President Trump.

 

USA Freedom Reauthorization Act – passed by a 278-136 vote – brought together the staunchest President Trump supporters like Reps. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and some of his fiercest critics like Reps. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who wanted improvements to protect Americans' privacy and safeguard against surveillance abuses.

 

The bill includes enhanced congressional oversight of the FISA process, penalties for those who abuse the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) process for political purposes, and the requirement to have transcripts of court proceedings.

 

“The only changes in this new bill are cosmetic, some secret reporting requirements to the attorney general,” Napolitano said, adding that “the same thing will happen again.”

 

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., however, said, “This legislation places much-needed safeguards to prevent another Carter Page-type scandal from happening again.”

 

Page, a former Trump campaign adviser, blasted the legislation as a “sham” and a Republican “failure,” saying it represents a “lazy authorization” of the surveillance tool that improperly targeted him during the FBI’s Russia investigation.

 

“He’s absolutely right. It doesn't dial back any of the authorities,” Napolitano said of Page's criticism.

 

He added that he doesn’t know why some Republicans are on board with this legislation.

 

At issue were three surveillance provisions that are set to expire Sunday, including one that permits the FBI to obtain our orders to collect business records on subjects in national security investigations. Another, known as the “roving wiretap” provision, permits surveillance on subjects even after they’ve changed phones, and to monitor subjects who don’t have ties to international terrorist organizations.

 

The bill seeks to rein in a controversial portion of the surveillance powers, known as Section 215, which gives the government broad powers to demand “business records” from companies in the name of national security investigations. In an effort to better protect privacy, the legislation would prohibit using Section 215 to acquire information that would otherwise require a warrant and would ban obtaining GPS and cell site locations, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said.

 

“The statute that expires Saturday night is the one that allows judges to issue what are called ‘general warrants,’” Napolitano explained. “A general warrant is not based on probable cause or suspicion and it doesn't identify the person or thing to be seized or to be surveilled.”

 

“For example, we need a warrant to listen to all the phone calls in a given area code or a given zip code,” he continued. “One of these warrants was for all the customers of Verizon, all 113 million of them. That absolutely defies the Constitution and it creates the culture in the FBI and the intelligence community that caused all the problems that the president had.”

 

He then paraphrased conversations he believes “obviously” took place, where federal agents knew a FISA surveillance would be "easy to get" and allow them to monitor the Trump campaign.

 

“This is part of the toolbox that [former FBI Director James] Comey and company used against candidate Donald Trump that started all the problems that we still have today," Napolitano said.

Resignations in the news

 

Paul Anderson resigns from Network 10 and ViacomCBS

 

ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI) has announced the resignation of Paul Anderson as chief executive officer of Network 10 and executive vice president of its operations in Australia and New Zealand. His resignation is effectively immediately, but Anderson has agreed to stay in his role in the interim to help oversee the company’s transition to new management.

 

Anderson joined Network 10 in 2003. He was appointed Chief Financial Officer in 2011 and took on the additional role of Chief Operating Officer in 2014. He was appointed CEO in July 2015 and steered the company through its acquisition by CBS Studios International, which was completed in November 2017.

 

Anderson said: “The past 17 years at Network 10 have been the best years of my professional life. I have worked with some extraordinary people – both in front of and behind the camera – and have been given some amazing opportunities. Now it’s time for me to try something different and eventually look for new opportunities and experiences."

'Frustrated' FFA technical director quits after year in job

 

Football Federation Australia is once again on the hunt for a new technical director after the shock resignation of Rob Sherman, who took on the job less than a year ago.

 

A highly-respected figure in international coaching and football education circles, Sherman confirmed to The Hairdryer that he has tendered his resignation but did not provide any comment.

 

The Welshman has not been shy in making his views known on the challenges that lay ahead for the Australian game since taking over arguably the most important job in the sport. In August, he warned of an "imminent danger" and likely failure to qualify for future World Cups if important junior development reforms weren't made.

 

Sources close to FFA suggest Sherman had been frustrated at an inability to enact change in the Australian game and that the advice of football experts was repeatedly being ignored.

 

That's something new FFA chief executive James Johnson, with his "football first" philosophy, is keen to fix - but he'll need to do so with a new TD, with the gig becoming something of a poisoned chalice in recent years.

 

"We acknowledge the important contribution that Rob has made to FFA and football in Australia over the past year," Johnson said in a terse three-line statement from FFA, which said Sherman would officially finish up in June.

Parole denied for Hey Dad! sex predator

 

Convicted child sex offender and former Hey Dad! star Robert Hughes will remain behind bars in NSW after his bid for parole was denied.

 

The State Parole Authority on Thursday determined that Hughes "presents an unacceptable risk to community safety".

 

The parole authority has revealed the actor renounced his Australian citizenship three months ago in a move that would have seen him deported to the United Kingdom when released.

 

Hughes is also a British citizen and no longer has an Australian visa.

 

The pedophile had successfully applied to be transferred to a UK prison where he would remain in jail until granted parole and then be supervised until his sentence expired in early 2025.

 

But he withdrew the transfer request when renouncing his Australian citizenship.

 

The SPA on Thursday said given he was no longer a dual citizen, if Hughes was released and deported to the UK "he would not be supervised, electronically monitored or required to comply with any conditions of his parole".

 

"NSW and the UK do not have reciprocal arrangements for parolees, only prisoners," the authority said in a statement.

 

In the United Kingdom, Hughes would pose an unacceptable risk because he would not be supervised, electronically monitored or subject to any other conditions, the parole authority said.

 

"Denying parole, the SPA decided without 'structured post-release plans' and parole supervision Hughes presents as an 'unacceptable risk to community safety'."

 

If Hughes does not apply to appeal the decision in a public hearing he will not be reconsidered for parole until 2021.

 

Hughes was jailed for at least six years in 2014 after a jury found the Australian actor guilty of 10 charges relating to sexual and indecent acts perpetrated on four young girls in the 1980s and 1990s.

 

A 2017 High Court challenge against his conviction was dismissed.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton diagnosed with coronavirus

 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has confirmed he has coronavirus.

 

The Federal Government frontbencher said he felt fine but woke up with a temperature and sore throat.

 

"I immediately contacted the Queensland Department of Health and was subsequently tested for COVID-19," Mr Dutton said in a statement.

 

"I was advised by Queensland Health this afternoon that the test had returned positive.

 

"It is the policy of Queensland Health that anyone who tests positive is to be admitted into hospital and I have complied with their advice.

 

"I feel fine and will provide an update in due course."

 

Mr Dutton was in Sydney for a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday and returned to Brisbane on a commercial flight on the same day.

 

He participated in Cabinet's national security committee meeting on Thursday via phone, during which the Government decided to extend its China, Italy, Iran and South Korean travel bans.

 

When someone contracts COVID-19, health officials alert people who have been in contact with them.

 

They are then expected to self-isolate at home and monitor their health for 14 days after the contact with the infected person.

 

The ABC has contacted Prime Minister Scott Morrison's office to see if he, and the Cabinet, will have to isolate themselves.

 

Earlier on Friday, Mr Morrison met with state and territory leaders to assess Australia's response to the spread of coronavirus.

 

Mr Dutton missed his usual Friday morning appearance on commercial TV, at the time being described as having a "stomach bug".

 

On Monday, he opened a new Moreton Bay campus for the University of the Sunshine Coast, alongside Education Minister Dan Tehan and former defence chief Angus Houston.

 

Mr Dutton met with United States Attorney-General William Barr and US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka while in Washington DC last week.

 

It comes as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau goes into 14-day isolation in the wake of his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, testing positive for coronavirus.

 

More to come.

Ivanka Trump self-isolates after Peter Dutton meeting

 

Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka will go into self-isolation after close contact with Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.

 

Ms Trump, who serves as an adviser to her father, is working from home as a precaution.

 

"Exposures from the case were assessed and the White House Medical Unit confirmed, in accordance with CDC guidance, that Ivanka is exhibiting no symptoms and does not need to self-quarantine," the White House said in a statement.

 

"She worked from home today out of an abundance of caution until guidance was given."

 

Mr Dutton announced yesterday that he had been diagnosed with coronavirus after waking up with a sore throat and a temperature.

 

Mr Dutton himself is resting at a Queensland hospital, but said he is feeling fine.

 

In his visit to Washington DC, Mr Dutton also met with US Attorney-General William Barr and Trump aide Kellyanne Conway.

 

Mr Barr also worked from home yesterday but said he is "feeling great".

 

"I immediately contacted the Queensland Department of Health and was subsequently tested for COVID-19," Mr Dutton said in a statement yesterday evening.

 

"I was advised by Queensland Health this afternoon that the test had returned positive."

 

There were earlier concerns Mr Dutton was in close proximity to a number of Cabinet ministers both last week and this week and some of those ministers may need to go into self-isolation as a precaution.

 

However, the Australian Prime Minister's office confirmed that Queensland Health will undertake the appropriate contact tracing to determine who came into contact with Mr Dutton and may be infected.

SC Sen. Lindsey Graham possibly exposed to second coronavirus carrier

 

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham’s office says the senator may have been exposed to a second carrier of the new coronavirus.

 

In a media release Friday morning, his spokesman said that, on March 5, Graham met with Australia’s Minister of Home Affairs Peter Dutton and Australia’s Ambassador to the United States Arthur Sinodinos, in Graham’s Washington office.

 

On Friday, officials announced Dutton had tested positive for COVID-19.

 

“Senator Graham continues to work from home while under self-quarantine awaiting the results of a coronavirus test,” the statement said.

 

Graham, R-S.C., placed himself in self-quarantine Thursday while awaiting test results on whether he contracted the coronavirus during a visit to President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in South Florida last weekend.

 

The announcement said it is unknown if the senator came into contact with the communications director for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who later tested positive for COVID-19.

 

Graham, 64, is the latest Washington, D.C., lawmaker to self-isolate, but he is the first member from South Carolina’s delegation to do so.

Peripatetic Keating pops up at Palm Beach

 

She has kept shtum for eight months after being revealed as the "mystery brunette" visiting Prince Andrew at the now-dead billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein's New York mansion, but Katherine Keating did not go undetected during her low-key return to Sydney last week.

 

PS can confirm Keating, along with her father, former Prime Minister Paul Keating, and sister Alexandra, were all guests at the recent society wedding of Gigi Penna and Matt Langsford at the millionaire property developer John Boyd's swanky Palm Beach weekender.

 

Penna is the daughter of Paul Keating's special "lady friend", the actor Julieanne Newbould, and has grown up in close proximity with the Keating children.

 

But it was Katherine Keating who managed to outshine her father at the wedding, given the headlines she generated in this column last August after the grainy footage of her in New York, taken a decade ago, made global headlines via Britain's Daily Mail.

 

While there is no suggestion she was involved in Epstein's criminal activities, why a woman, then aged in her mid-20s, was visiting the Duke of York at the home of a renowned child sex offender – who at that point had recently finished serving a 13-month prison sentence for procuring an underage girl for sex – remains unanswered. Keating has refused to talk about it.

 

The feisty brunette quit Sydney for New York in 2010, just months after landing at the centre of another scandal which involved her father in a battle with Rupert Murdoch's media empire, which published disputed accusations she kicked one of its photographers at a boozy vodka launch at the State Theatre, saying: "Do you want me to throw you down the stairs and kill you?"

 

Reinventing herself as a "venture capitalist" and diving into the worlds of tech startups and "woke" philanthropy, she was soon back in the news, this time for dating American millionaire playboy Andre Balazs, the hotelier behind hip hotel chain The Standard and Hollywood's famed Chateau Marmont.

 

She enjoyed the company of rich and famous friends, attending parties hosted by Vogue high priestess Anna Wintour, and was photographed in the vicinity of Harvey Weinstein before the #MeToo movement sunk him. She was also photographed with Hollywood power publicist Peggy Siegal, who has paid a hefty price for her close association with Epstein.

 

Keating's social conquests continued, as she became pals with the Duke of York's daughter Princess Eugenie, and she even managed to get herself involved with cultural institutions with social cache, such as the prestigious Whitney Museum of American Art.

 

Balazs was listed, along with Prince Andrew, in Epstein's personal address book which was published in 2015. He had only recently broken up with Hollywood star Uma Thurman before taking up with Keating, who was 22 years his junior.

 

Following that relationship, Keating started dating Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini, the son of the late Vogue Italia editor-and-chief Franca Sozzani. The Carrozzinis are fabulously wealthy and well-connected in their own right. Francesco is listed as Keating's co-executive producer on a glowing 2014 Huffington Post interview she did with Epstein's former lover Ghislaine Maxwell.

 

But there was not a word of that during her return to Sydney last week, though the Keatings were spotted dining in Potts Point, clearly thankful for the privacy seated behind a large curtain which obscured them somewhat from prying eyes.

 

She did draw attention at the Palm Beach wedding, especially with her bold move to wear white.

 

These days Keating is calling Los Angeles home and is working with showbiz entrepreneur Guy Oseary, who manages the likes of Madonna. Keating has made herself right at home in Tinsel Town, too, even scoring herself an invite to the recent Oscars parties.

Modern Day Slavery and Orphanage Tourism

 

Orphanage tourism is where tourist interactions with 'orphaned' children are central to traveller itineraries and experience making in less-developed contexts.

 

While appealing to the desire of tourists and volunteers to 'do good' while travelling, underlining orphanage tourism is the fact that the vast majority of children (over 80%) in orphanages and allied care institutions are not orphans. Instead, children are often placed in institutions due to poverty and hardship, and as victims of human trafficking.

 

In some cases, orphanages can be for-profit enterprises, where the commodification of good intentions begins and becomes embedded in the tourism supply chain. Children are becoming tourist attractions and the focus of tourist consumption, leading to orphanages as sites of tourism production and consumption.

 

The first of its kind, this book highlights exploratory research that examines the links between modern slavery practices and orphanage tourism.

 

Contributors include academics and practitioners with a long engagement in advocacy for the rights and protection of children and research into sustainable and responsible tourism.

 

Written in an accessible manner that appeals to a broad audience.

 

This book will appeal to researchers interested in the areas of tourism, human geography, development studies, childhood studies, law and social justice, as well as those interested in responsible and sustainable travel. Practitioners, policy makers and civil society groups working at the vanguard of tourism expansion and communities in less-developed contexts - particularly where labour rights transgressions, human exploitation and trafficking are prevalent - will also find the book insightful.

 

Royalties from the sales of this book will be donated to Save the Children Australia and the Forget Me Not Foundation.

Coronavirus puts the nation on ‘war footing’

 

Australia has effectively closed its borders, mandating international airport arrivals be forced into 14-day self-isolation as the coronavirus response is ramped up in an effort to slow the spread of the disease after a 20 per cent jump in cases on Sunday and a fifth death.

 

Restrictions will be slapped on visitors to aged-care homes, and schools could be closed within weeks.

 

The national cabinet, comprising Scott Morrison and state and territory leaders, has been warned of an explosion in new infections over the next two months as COVID-19 cases across Australia surged towards 300 on Sunday.

 

While school closures have not been announced, the national cabinet is expected to consider wider restrictions on Friday as part of a staged response to “flatten the curve” of cases and ease pressure on the hospital system.

 

The government has also changed the name of its national crisis committee, set up in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, to the national co-ordination mechanism, in a bid to avoid public hysteria.

 

The rebadged crisis committee gives the federal, state and territory governments sweeping powers to enforce strict non-health measures in response to the escalating coronavirus outbreak.

 

A senior government source said “we are now effectively on a war footing”. The number of coronavirus cases across Australia jumped 20 per cent on Sunday, with infections in Queensland increasing from 46 to 61 over 24 hours.

 

The national death toll rose to five after tests confirmed COVID-19 was responsible for the deaths of a 90-year-old female resident at the Dorothy Henderson Lodge nursing home in Sydney on Saturday and a 77-year-old Queensland woman in a Sydney hospital on Friday.

 

Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy said authorities were considering a “focal” lockdown of ­coronavirus hotspot suburbs and communities in a move like those adopted in Italy and South Korea.

 

“One of the things we know about outbreaks of infections is that they can affect one part of a country, not another,” Professor Murphy told the ABC on Sunday.

 

The Prime Minister followed New Zealand’s lead in imposing two-week mandatory self-­isolation for all international visitors, with South Pacific residents allowed to pass through Australia on their way home. Flight crews will not have to self-isolate, but will be asked to practise “social distancing”.

 

The move has received the support of the states, which will be ­responsible for enforcing the public health edict, with penalties for non-compliance including 12 months’ jail or fines of up to $50,000 in some jurisdictions.

 

Mr Morrison, who presented a series of COVID-19 scenario graphs explaining crackdowns on mass gatherings and impressing the importance of avoiding a damaging peak in cases, also banned cruise ships from foreign ports docking in Australia for an initial 30-day period. After a meeting of the national security committee of cabinet and national cabinet on Sunday, Mr Morrison said medical experts had advised that Australians should avoid handshakes or intimate contact and keep a distance of 1.5m from other people.

 

“The social distancing practices that we’re encouraging are being expanded. So there’s no more handshakes,” Mr Morrison said.

 

He said the national cabinet would meet on Tuesday night to consider advice from health authorities on restrictions on aged-care visits and gatherings involving ­enclosed areas. “For older Australians and those that are more vulnerable, particularly those in remote communities and those with pre-existing health conditions, it is a far more serious virus, and that is our concern. Our aim in all of this is to protect the most vulnerable. The most at risk,” he said.

 

Mr Morrison warned that individuals who flouted the self-­isolation rule or groups who held non-­essential mass gatherings of more than 500 people would be subject to penalties imposed by state and territory governments.

 

“Once state authorities are in a position to give that its legal enforcement then that will be a change. So if your mate has been in Bali and they come back and they turn up at work, and they’re sitting next to you, well, they’ll be committing an offence,” he said.

I got emotional today, returning to a place where we walked in day after day knowing we were entering a hell we couldn't escape.

NSW south coast man charged with terrorism offences

 

A man from the NSW south coast has been charged with terrorism offences following a NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) investigation.

 

The 21-year-old Sanctuary Point man was arrested on Saturday, 14 March, and charged with one count of acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts. This offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

 

The Sanctuary Point man is expected to face Nowra Local Court today, and an application will be made to have the matter heard in a Sydney court at a later date.

 

It will be alleged in court that the man was attempting and planning to purchase or acquire military equipment, including firearms, and items capable of making improvised explosive devices.

 

The investigation began in February 2020 after NSW JCTT investigators became aware of a number of online posts containing an extreme right wing and anti-government ideology, and began an investigation into potential criminal activity.

 

Investigators became concerned about the escalating criminal actions allegedly undertaken by the 21-year-old man in the past week and made the decision to execute search warrants on properties and vehicles in Sanctuary Point and the rural locality of Parma – both near the NSW south coast town of Nowra – this weekend.

 

A number of electronic devices, tactical equipment and three soft gel (paintball) firearms were seized at Sanctuary Point. Four registered firearms were seized at the Parma residence, which is the home of an associate of the Sanctuary Point man. Further enquiries are continuing into the links between the man facing court today and his online and real-world associates.

 

Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Counter Terrorism Scott Lee said NSW JCTT investigators targeted the criminal behaviour of those arrested.

 

“The decision to execute these warrants and charge a man was made to mitigate any immediate threat, ensure the ongoing safety of the community and prevent further planning or preparations that could have resulted in a terrorist attack in Australia,” he said.

 

“The investigation into this matter remains ongoing, but the speed with which it has progressed highlights the professionalism and dedication of the individuals and agencies involved in the JCTT, and their commitment to bringing people to account for their criminal actions.”

 

NSW Police Force Counter Terrorism and Special Tactics Commander, Assistant Commissioner Mark Walton, said the primary concern of NSW JCTT officers was community safety.

 

“Our officers have acted swiftly in this case as the behaviour online was of significant concern. I want to reassure the community there is no ongoing threat, and the NSW JCTT will continue to work together to identify and prosecute individuals involved in these activities,” he said.

 

“I would appeal to all members of the community to help us do this – if you see something online, report it. Be aware of the online activities of your children. There is no place for violent extremism in our community and we need to continue to unite in condemning this behaviour.”

 

The NSW JCTT is comprised of members from the Australian Federal Police, NSW Police Force, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the NSW Crime Commission.

 

Anyone with information about extremist activity or possible threats to the community should come forward, no matter how small or insignificant you may think the information may be. The National Security Hotline is 1800 123 400.

Fraser Anning declared bankrupt by courts on ‘egging’ anniversary

 

CONTROVERSIAL former Senator Fraser Anning has been declared bankrupt today, on the anniversary of his infamous “egging”.

 

The Federal Court issued an order winding up the estate of William Fraser Anning, as part of his ongoing dispute with Adelaide and Bendigo Bank which was chasing $185,000 in debt.

 

It ordered the date of the bankruptcy be set to July 15, 2019.

 

The costs of the court, totalling $12,400, have also been set against the estate of Mr Anning, who is understood to currently be living in the US.

 

Mr Anning rose to public office in November 2017, replacing Senator Malcolm Roberts who lost his Senate spot due to citizenship issues, despite receiving just 19 below-the-line votes in the 2016 election.

 

The far-right former Senator was condemned from all sides of parliament when he called for a “final solution” to Australia's immigration policies and suggested a return to the White Australia policy.

 

While initially part of One Nation, he split from the party on the same day he was sworn in to the Senate.

 

He briefly joined Katter's Australian Party, but was kicked out after repeatedly calling for restrictions to “non-European” immigration.

 

Mr Anning formed his own political party, Fraser Anning's National Conservative Party, but received less than 0.1 per cent of the necessary quoted to be re-elected.

 

On March 16 last year, Mr Anning was egged by a young man in Victoria while attending a meeting of supporters.

 

Mr Anning had been facing bankruptcy proceedings before entering parliament, entering a confidential arrangement with his creditor to stay the proceedings at the time, but they restarted shortly after he lost the election.

 

Mr Anning and Bendigo Bank have been approached for comment. A spokesman for Bendigo Bank said they were unable to comment under the Privacy Act.

Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard is self-isolating after she hugged Canada's first lady week before she tested positive to COVID-19

 

Australia's former prime minister Julia Gillard is in self-isolation in London after she hugged Canada's first lady on stage at a youth charity event.

 

Ms Gillard, 58, embraced Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, as she kissed her on her right cheek, on March 4 at Wembley Stadium.

 

The 44-year-old wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had talked about her battle with bulimia as a teenager during the WE Day discussion about women's equality.

 

She revealed nine days later she had been diagnosed with coronavirus.

 

A spokeswoman for Ms Gillard, Australia's first female prime minister, said she was in self-isolation in London as a precaution but had not been tested for COVID-19.

 

'Former PM Gillard did attend the WE Day event with Sophie Trudeau,' she told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday.

 

'Ms Gillard is well and coming to the end of the recommended period for self isolation, which she has been doing as a precautionary measure only.

 

'She is following current UK public health advice and so at this stage has not been tested.'

 

The former Labor leader, who now chairs the Global Partnership for Education, has not shown any symptoms of coronavirus as she self-isolated for 14 days, her spokeswoman said.

 

'Ms Gillard is in London and feeling well, but as a precaution is self-isolating and will continue to do so until the end of the recommended period,' she said.

 

The Canadian WE charity confirmed on March 13 that Ms Trudeau had coronavirus.

 

'Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, wife of the Canadian Prime Minister, tested positive for COVID-19,' it said in a statement.

 

'The WE organisation wishes Ms. Grégoire Trudeau a swift recovery.'

 

Justin Trudeau, Canada's Liberal PM, is working from home, via teleconferencing, after his wife reported feeling unwell after returning to Canada from the UK.

 

In Australia, two federal MPs have so far tested positive to coronavirus, including Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton and his Queensland Coalition colleague, Nationals senator Susan McDonald.

 

Queensland's Labor Health Minister Steven Miles, state Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath and Multicultural Affairs Minister Stirling Hinchliffe have declined to go into self-isolation, despite sharing a stage with Mr Dutton on Monday last week at the opening of the University of the Sunshine Coast's Moreton Bay campus at Petrie, north of Brisbane.

 

Federal Liberal Education Minister Dan Tehan was also at the same event.

 

Mr Dutton went public with his COVID-19 diagnosis four days later.

 

Queensland Health guidelines only require self-isolation if it someone comes into contact with someone within 24 hours of their coronavirus diagnosis.

High Court to continue on Pell's bid for freedom despite coronavirus outbreak

 

Cardinal George Pell's bid to overthrow his child sexual abuse convictions will not be affected by the coronavirus outbreak, despite Australia's highest courts delaying cases for months.

 

The High Court's full bench won't hear cases in Canberra until August and the Federal Court is vacating all matters listed through to the end of June.

 

But it will continue to hand down judgements.

 

Ballarat-born Pell, 78, is hoping to be granted a final appeal against his convictions for sexually abusing two 13-year-old choirboys at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne in the 1990s.

 

"The first possible time the full court will sit again in Canberra will be in August," a spokesman told AAP.

 

The court was continuing to receive advice and would reassess in June the court's pre-arranged July recess, he added.

 

Where necessary, hearings will be conducted using videolink.

 

The Federal Court also announced all cases listed to the end of June, and requiring in-person attendance, would be vacated.

 

"The court is examining, as a matter of urgency, its capability to facilitate listings by remote access technology, without requiring in person attendance," a spokesman said.

 

"Court users should closely monitor the daily court lists to check which listings are proposed to proceed."

 

The Family Court and Federal Circuit Court of Australia's Lionel Bowen Building in Sydney was briefly shut down after a lawyer tested positive for the virus.

 

The lawyer was inside the building on Goulburn Street on Tuesday March 10 and Thursday March 12.

 

NSW Health on Tuesday evening cleared the building to re-open on Wednesday.

 

"As a precaution, people who were present in the building on 10 or 12 March should monitor for symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath that may develop in the 14 days following last possible exposure," a court spokeswoman said.

 

After the Supreme and County courts suspended new jury trials last week, Victoria's Coroners Court on Tuesday also hit pause on all non-essential hearings this week, but will hand down an inquest judgment in chambers on Wednesday.

 

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal will similarly be postponing non-critical matters and will be increasing the use of telephone hearings.

 

A corruption hearing into a suburban Melbourne council will be also adjourned as a precautionary health measure.

 

The Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission hearings have been probing Casey Council for allegedly serious corrupt conduct related to planning decisions.

High Court overturns SA pedophile sentence

 

A South Australian pedophile will be re-sentenced after the nation's highest court ruled his current jail term was too harsh, in a decision that could have undermined cases across the country.

 

The man has become the latest sex offender to have his sentence slashed because of a legal loophole.

 

He was found guilty at trial of persistent sexual exploitation of a girl under the age of 17 between 2013 and 2016.

 

For that charge to be proven, a defendant must be found guilty of at least two acts of abuse in a period of more than three days.

 

But sentencing law allowed sex offenders to be punished only for the least serious of their actions if jurors are not asked to clarify which specific acts their guilty verdict applied to.

 

In this case, trial jurors in the District Court heard the man stood accused of four acts of sexual exploitation against the girl.

 

But they were told they must only find he committed two to declare him guilty, and they were never asked how many or which acts had been proven.

 

Nevertheless, he was handed a sentence of 10 years behind bars with a non-parole period of five years.

 

A law change rushed through the parliament in late 2017 - after the man was sentenced - moved to close the loophole.

 

In his High Court appeal, the man successfully argued the amendment did not apply to his case and he should have been sentenced "on the basis of the facts most favourable to him".

 

He also argued that, if the amendment did apply, it was not legal because it undermined the authority of the state's Supreme Court.

 

The question of validity was posed to the court with the support of Attorneys-General of Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and NSW which have similar laws.

 

But the court ruled the amendment was not called into question.

 

The man's matter will now be sent back to the District Court for reconsidered sentencing.

 

In similar circumstances, pedophile teacher Marco Chiro had more than six years slashed from his sentence after the High Court also ruled in his favour.

 

That decision had an effect on the case of Stephen John Hamra, who abused two young boys in the 1970s and 1980s.

British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert not reported among prisoners freed among coronavirus fears

 

Uncertainty over Moore-Gilbert’s fate as 85,000 prisoners temporarily let out over coronavirus fears

 

British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert has not been reported among the 85,000 prisoners temporarily released from Iranian jails out of fear coronavirus could sweep through the country’s overcrowded prisons.

 

As the Iranian government struggling to contain an exponential rise in Covid-19 cases – currently the country has 16,000 confirmed cases and nearly 1,000 deaths – a doctor on state-run TV warned more than three million people could die across the country if isolation measures aren’t strictly adhered to.

 

There are growing concerns for prisoners held in Iran’s overcrowded jails, where healthcare is poor and many prisoners have already compromised health. The government says it has released half of the country’s “security” prisoners on furlough to arrest any potential Covid-19 spread, but nothing has been heard publicly on Moore-Gilbert’s case.

 

Lines of communication to Moore-Gilbert through other prisoners have been cut in recent days and weeks with the transfer and furloughing of thousands of prisoners.

 

Moore-Gilbert has been publicly silent for months, since a series of smuggled letters were published detailing the privations of her imprisonment, including months isolated in solitary confinement, and a shortage of food, medicine, and money to buy personal items.

 

“I feel like I am abandoned and forgotten … I am an innocent victim,” she wrote.

 

Moore-Gilbert has been held in the isolated ward 2A of Evin, run by the Revolutionary Guards, and it is known she has previously gone on several long-running hunger strikes.

 

“Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is urging all Australians to come home so it should absolutely prioritise the return of vulnerable Australian like Kylie Moore-Gilbert who are arbitrarily detained abroad,” said Elaine Pearson, Australia director for Human Rights Watch.

 

“Governments are closing their borders, flights are becoming more limited and it will only get worse. Prison is no place to be when there is a pandemic. There are grave risks to Kylie’s health if she remains in Evin prison. And Kylie should never have been imprisoned in the first place. [Foreign minister] Marise Payne should be calling on the Iranian authorities to do the right thing and release Kylie.”

 

…..

 

Iran’s judiciary spokesman Gholam-Hossein Esmaili said 85,000 prisoners had been temporarily released from prison as a precaution against the spread of coronavirus.

 

“Some 50% of those released are security-related prisoners … also in the jails we have taken precautionary measures to confront the outbreak,” he said.

 

Foreign minister Javad Zarif has said Iran’s ability to fight the Covid-19 outbreak was being hampered by US-led sanctions which had crippled the country’s health system.

 

Speaking on state television, Dr Afruz Eslami cited a study from Tehran’s Sharif University of Technology, presenting three possible scenarios. She said if the Iranian population began to cooperate fully with social distancing now, the country could limit infections to 120,000 and deaths to 12,000.

 

If isolation measures were only partly followed, 110,000 people might die.

 

But if people failed to follow the government’s guidance, Iran’s already-strained medical system could collapse, Eslami said. “Medical facilities are not sufficient, there will be four million cases, and 3.5 million people will die,” she said.

 

Moore-Gilbert, a University of Melbourne professor originally from Bathurst, has been held in Evin prison in Tehran for 18 months, having been sentenced in a secret trial to 10 years in prison for espionage, a charge she denies.

 

Moore-Gilbert was arrested in September 2018 after having attended an academic conference at which she was invited to speak in Qom. Fellow conference delegates and an interview subject for her academic work flagged her as “suspicious” to the Revolutionary Guards, who arrested her at Tehran airport.

 

No evidence has ever been presented publicly that Moore-Gilbert was involved in espionage and the Australian government says it rejects her conviction.

 

The foreign affairs minister, Marise Payne, has said previously “the government has been working extremely hard in relation to the ongoing detention of Kylie Moore-Gilbert”.

 

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has maintained: “We continue to believe that the best way to secure a successful outcome is through diplomatic channels and not through the media.”

'Do Not Go Overseas': Aussie PM Calls on Citizens to Avoid International Travel

 

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has advised Australians not to travel abroad in a bid to stem the spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus.

 

“The travel advice to every Australian is 'do not travel abroad,'" Morrison said in a national broadcast Wednesday morning, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. "Do not go overseas. That is very clear that instruction. For those who are thinking of going overseas in the school holidays, don’t. Don’t go overseas.”

 

Morrison noted that schools would remain open during the crisis, which he predicted might take six months to subside.

 

As of Wednesday morning local time, Australia had at least 400 cases of coronavirus identified, according to a New York Times database.

Footage Shows Australian Special Forces Shoot And Kill Unarmed Man In Afghanistan

 

A video released on March 16th, showed an Australian Special Air Service (SAS) shoot an unarmed Afghan man three times in the head and chest while he cowers on the ground.

 

His death took place within three minutes of the soldiers arriving in the village.

 

An Australian Defence Force (ADF) investigation later ruled the killing was justified because it was in self-defence.

 

The killing was one of a series of cases uncovered by Four Corners that may constitute war crimes.

 

A former member of the same SAS squadron, who was on the 2012 deployment to Afghanistan and has been shown the vision, described the killing to Four Corners as a “straight-up execution”.

 

The video, taken by the helmet camera of the patrol’s dog handler, shows the SAS patrol disembarking from one of two Black Hawk helicopters before fanning out near the village of Deh Jawz-e Hasanzai.

 

The situation in the video takes place in May 2012, and 3 Squadron SAS is looking for an insurgent bombmaker.

 

The handler, with his dog, follows the patrol scout, who Four Corners has called Soldier C, through a field towards a mud compound.

 

The helicopters are guiding them to a person who has been spotted in a wheat field ahead.

 

The soldiers and the dog stumble upon a bearded man in his 20s, with red prayer beads in his hand, who the dog assaulted. The dog is called Quake.

 

Then a conversation takes place, after the soldier keeps the man at gunpoint for about 20 seconds, asking if he should “drop this c***.”

 

He asks the commander if he should kill the man, and an inaudible response follows.

 

The soldier then shoots the man three times.

 

The SAS soldier who shot Dad Mohammad claimed the Afghan had been shot because he had been seen with a radio. The soldier also claimed he fired from 15 to 20 meters away in self-defense.

 

The dead man’s name was Dad Mohammad, and he was thought to be 25 or 26 years old.

 

Braden Chapman was a signals intelligence officer with 3 Squadron SAS on that 2012 deployment, but was not a witness to the killing.

“It’s just a straight-up execution really,” he said.

 

“He’s asked someone of a superior rank what he should do, but it comes down to the soldier pulling the trigger. It’s a straight-up execution.”

Australian border to remain open despite coronavirus

 

The head of Australian Border Force says there would be no point in sealing off Australia, as the federal government escalates its travel warnings to an unprecedented level.

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Wednesday morning Australia would upgrade its travel advice to level four - "do not travel" - for every country around the world for the first time in history.

 

Level four is the highest possible travel advisory and warns that the Australian government may not be able to assist citizens abroad if they run into trouble. It also advises that travel insurance policies may be void and travellers' health and safety is at extreme risk.

 

"The travel advice to every Australian is 'Do not travel abroad'. Do not go overseas. For those who are thinking of going overseas in the school holidays, don't," Mr Morrison said.

 

Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy said said he expected imported cases of the virus to "drop significantly" as international travel declined.

 

But Border Force commissioner Michael Outram said while visitors to Australia will need to self-isolate for 14 days, a hard closure of borders would be of little benefit.

 

"We don't want to stop all flights to Australia. We don't want to seal ourselves off," Commissioner Outram told media on Wednesday morning.

 

"We want to keep ports moving. This is really important because we want to keep our ports moving obviously a lot of goods are coming through those ports, a lot of exports still going on, bulk and other things to containers so keeping those ports moving is really important and we'll continue to do so.

 

"I don't think there's much benefit in sealing off Australia, but what we've done is…significantly reduce the number of people incoming to Australia. All unessential travel to Australia has ostensibly been turned off."

 

It came after the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade warned Australians abroad to return home as soon as possible.

 

Virgin has announced it will suspend international flights from March 30 to June 14, while Qantas cut 90 per cent of its international flights on Tuesday.

 

More than 20 international flights scheduled to arrive in Australia on Tuesday were cancelled, Commissioner Outram said.

 

International passenger numbers to Australia on Monday was down by nearly 5000 people on the week before.

 

Commissioner Outram said Border Force were preparing for an influx of passengers returning home. Planes would be met by agricultural Border Force officers and there would be health workers at airports to do "in-house readings".

 

An extra 25 officers were sent to Sydney Airport on Sunday night in the aftermath of the new travel restrictions, which required anyone entering the country to isolate for 14 days.

 

"We've had to move people around as you can imagine with something like this," Commissioner Outram said.

 

"We've had to move people from into cargo into airports and back into cargo and other areas of our organisation."

 

Commissioner Outram said no Border Force officer had been struck down with the virus, despite interacting with millions of passengers over the past two months.

 

About a dozen officers have been tested so far and all were cleared.

 

It came as Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack announced a $715 million relief package for Australian airlines hit by the virus, waiving government charges on aviation fuel excise, Airservices charges on domestic airline operations and domestic and regional aviation security charges.

 

Airlines will receive a $159 million shot-in-the-arm immediately with reimbursement of applicable charges paid by domestic airlines since 1 February 2020.

 

But Regional Express Airlines has warned the company could fold within months without greater government support.

 

And while some remote communities will be locked down, Mr Morrison said domestic air travel was a "low risk".

 

"We have not seen a lot of evidence of people contracting this virus on aircraft. It is when they have arrived, or where they have brought it from," Mr Morrison said.

 

"It is not about going on a plane or not, it is about where you are going to."

Red Cross needs 14,000 blood donors amid '800 cancellations a day'

 

The Australian Red Cross says it needs 14,000 donors before Easter to help ward off a blood shortage, as thousands of people confine themselves to their homes to curb the spread of coronavirus.

 

Lifeblood chief medical officer Joanne Pink said people are "changing their schedules during the current period of uncertainty", but the need for blood is ongoing, and she urged those who can donate to do so.

 

"We are unable to stockpile blood donations, unlike toilet paper," she said on Tuesday. "The need for blood doesn't stop."

 

Dr Pink said Lifeblood clinics had seen a reduction of donors with "around 800 cancellations per day" nationally – about 5-10 per cent more than usual for this time of year.

 

It follows a "phenomenal response" to Lifeblood's call for donors in January amid the bushfire crisis – but CEO Shelly Park said those who have donated this year must wait 12 weeks before they can do it again.

 

With coronavirus fears keeping people at home along with the start of cold and flu season, there are concerns donors will continue to drop heading towards Easter, putting pressure on supplies.

 

While donations are not used in the treatment of flu and coronavirus, Dr Pink said there is constant demand and the banks need about 29,000 donations of blood and plasma every week.

 

"Blood is always needed, particularly for patients with cancer, car accidents, and people having babies," she said. Donated blood has a shelf life of 42 days.

 

Moves to ramp up elective surgeries this week to get ahead of a predicted peak in coronavirus hospitalisations may also contribute to depleted stores. Ms Park said they had seen "a small increase in demand for red cells and platelets in recent days which is likely to be in response to the temporary fast-tracking of elective surgeries in some states."

 

However, that had been modelled for and demand is not a concern at present, she said. The main issue is the dwindling supply of donations.

 

Ms Park said donors concerned about coronavirus should be confident clinics are safe.

 

"We have robust processes in place to ensure the safety of the blood supply and our donors, and we don’t allow people who are unwell to donate blood," she said.

 

"Our donor centres are safe places to visit and we will take all necessary steps to ensure that stays the case. They are heavily regulated environments, with staff adhering to high standards to ensure safety protocols are in place."

 

She said Lifeblood is in talks with the government through the National Blood Authority to ensure it is exempt from any potential further isolation measures.

 

As a result of the pandemic, Lifeblood has had to introduce a number of new rules for donors including a 28-day ban on those returning from overseas.

 

That's to minimise the risk of transmission to other donors and staff, and there is "no evidence that coronavirus is transmitted by blood transfusion anywhere in the world," Dr Pink said.

Australian Actor Robert Hughes "Hey Dad"

 

Tom Hanks in Australia reminds my of high profile child abuse case from 2010 (unrelated). Late 80s to early 90s Robert Hughes played a single dad on the sit-com "Hey Dad". Around 2010 the actress that played his daughter came forward with sex abuses claims. Hughes was convicted and serving time in prison. Earliest release date April 2020. Was also reported that some production people knew of Hughes' conduct and helped cover.

 

The young lady later immigrated to the US and served in the Texas National Guard in the medical field.

 

wiki profile on the Hughes case:

 

Allegations of sexual misconduct, arrest, and conviction

 

In March 2010, Sarah Monahan alleged that Hughes, who then was living in Singapore, had engaged in inappropriate sexual behaviour on the set of the Hey Dad..! show. Fellow cast members Ben Oxenbould and Simone Buchanan spoke in support of her allegations. On 29 March, police announced the creation of a strike force to investigate Monahan's claims. Monahan said she spent more than 35 hours testifying to police. In September 2010, six months after the allegations were published, it was reported that more than 100 people had been interviewed. Police had not yet spoken to Hughes and were weighing up whether a formal interview would take place.

 

In an interview broadcast on Channel Nine's A Current Affair on 14 March 2011, a niece of Hughes's claimed that she had also been molested by him. Hughes' daughter rejected the allegations and questioned why these accusations had not been raised earlier.

 

A mother of a victim later said: "We first went to [New South Wales] police about Hughes in 1988 when my daughter was nine years old" and says she was told by the investigating detective "I've tried to get this guy but every time I do someone covers for him". NSW Police had interviewed Hughes about claims of sexual abuse as early as 1985.

 

Hughes was arrested in London in August 2012 and the New South Wales government sought his extradition to Australia. He was granted bail and a hearing was held on 19 September 2012. At that hearing, Hughes indicated that he intended to return to Australia for questioning. After being extradited to Australia, Hughes was charged with 11 counts of child sexual abuse and released on bail.

 

His trial started on 10 February 2014, at Downing Centre District Court where he pleaded not guilty to eleven charges. In April 2014, the jury found Hughes guilty of two counts of sexual assault, seven counts of indecent assault and one count of committing an indecent act. A final charge, relating to an indecent act with a child under the age of sixteen, resulted in a hung jury. No outcome was recorded in relation to this charge.

 

On 16 May 2014, Hughes was sentenced to 10 years and 9 months' imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 6 years. His earliest date of eligibility for release will be in April 2020 when he will be aged 71. After sentencing, Hughes was sent to Goulburn Correctional Centre, where his fellow inmates doused him in human excreta (urine/feces) upon his arrival, despite his being in protective custody. Prison officials constructed a wall of wire screening to deflect further attacks upon Hughes's person.

 

Hughes appealed to the Court of Criminal Appeal, but his appeal was rejected on 21 December 2015. The court did, however, mandate that Hughes's allegations of physical abuse in prison be referred to the Minister for Justice and the Commissioner for Corrective Services. On 18 January 2016, Hughes lodged an appeal with the High Court of Australia. Hughes has since lost his High Court challenge to child sex convictions.

Also several videos on youtube of former cast members discussing the tragedy.

 

excerpt fromSarah Monohan's profile:

 

Monahan lives in the US with her American husband, Matt Morris, whom she met in Brisbane, Australia.

 

In 2011, Monahan joined the Texas State Guard Medical Brigade, a branch of the Texas Military Forces whose focus is on humanitarian missions.

 

God Bless Sarah and Matt.

Australia blocks arrival of all non-residents in expanded coronavirus travel ban

 

All foreigner travellers will be banned from entering Australia from 9:00pm AEDT tomorrow.

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the enhanced border measures in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

 

It applies to all non-citizens and non-residents.

 

Australians will still be able to return from overseas but they will be required to self-isolate for 14 days.

 

The Government had previously banned foreign nationals from coming to Australia from China, Iran, Italy and South Korea.

 

New Zealand had already announced plans to close its borders to foreign nationals from midnight tonight.

 

Mr Morrison said he had consulted New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern about Australia's new travel ban prior to announcing it.

 

"The New Zealand arrangement, in the same way as it has in the past, doesn't apply to Australians living in New Zealand as New Zealand residents," he said.

 

"Equally for New Zealanders living in Australia as Australian residents, these are the same rules that apply in both countries.

 

"We have worked today to align what we're doing and I appreciate that openness."

 

The Prime Minister said the earlier travel bans had already reduced travel to Australia to one-third of normal levels.

 

But he said it was crucial to go further in a bid to slow the spread of COVID-19.

 

"About 80 per cent of the cases we have in Australia are either the results of someone who has contracted the virus overseas or someone who has had direct contact with someone who has returned from overseas," Mr Morrison said.

 

"So, the overwhelming proportion of [coronavirus] cases in Australia have been imported.

 

"Measures we have put in place have obviously put an impact on that and this is a further measure now that can be further enhanced."

 

The travel ban came after Qantas and Virgin announced major cuts to flights and staff, both domestic and internationally.

 

Mr Morrison thanked Qantas for working with the Government to maintain flights needed to bring Australians homes.

 

"Those Australians who are overseas, we have been encouraging them to return to Australia," he said.

 

"Those in remote parts of the world, that can prove challenging but for those in other places, it is our intention to ensure we can maintain flights to enable them to come home as soon as possible."

Ghislaine Maxwell, citing death threats and extensive legal fees, sues Jeffrey Epstein's estate

 

She claims Epstein had made promises to always support her financially.

 

Ghislaine Maxwell, a former girlfriend and long-time employee of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has filed a civil lawsuit against the late financier’s estate seeking reimbursement of her legal fees and personal security costs. Maxwell, who has been accused in several lawsuits filed by Epstein's alleged victims of facilitating his abuse, claims Epstein had repeatedly made “clear and unambiguous” promises to always support her financially, according to a court filing in the United States Virgin Islands.

 

“Maxwell reasonably and justifiably relied on Epstein’s promises and put her trust in Epstein that he would fulfill his promises,” according to the lawsuit filed in Superior Court in St. Thomas last week and made public on Wednesday.

 

Maxwell, a 58-year-old British socialite, is currently under federal investigation for her alleged role in Epstein’s child sex-trafficking conspiracy, according to multiple sources. She is also a named defendant in three civil lawsuits pending in New York filed by Epstein's alleged victims, including Annie Farmer, 40, who alleges that Maxwell sexually assaulted her at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch in 1996 when Farmer was 16 years old.

 

Maxwell’s current whereabouts are unknown, and she has not been heard from or seen in public for several months. Attorneys for Farmer tried unsuccessfully to locate Maxwell in order to serve her with notice of the lawsuit, according to a court filing in January. Maxwell now faces a court-imposed deadline to file a response to Farmer’s allegations by March 27.

 

The move was immediately condemned by a pair of attorneys representing Epstein’s alleged victims.

 

"It is absolutely appalling that Ghislaine Maxwell, who committed crimes with Epstein against these victims, is seeking to drain funds from the very estate that should be paying the Epstein victims’ claims," said Sigrid McCawley, a partner at Boies, Schiller, Flexner, LLP, the firm representing Farmer and others suing Epstein’s estate, in a statement to ABC News. "We view her actions as unconscionable, but this is an individual who lost sight of right from wrong a very long time ago."

 

“She wants money to hide. It’s crazy. And she wants to take money that should be paid to victims,” Brad Edwards, an attorney who represents more than 20 of Epstein’s alleged victims, told ABC News. ”She should answer questions – to the victims, to law enforcement and to the public. Not just about whatever business relationship she may have had, but about the entirety of her relationship with Epstein.”

 

Kyle Waldner, an attorney representing Maxwell, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Waldner is a U.S. Virgin Islands-based attorney for the firm Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A.

 

Epstein’s estate is valued at more than $600 million. More than 30 alleged victims of Epstein have filed lawsuits against the estate since his death. The estate's assets are currently frozen due to an ongoing dispute between the estate and the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, which filed its own lawsuit in January, alleging that Epstein and his associated companies in the island territory operated as a criminal conspiracy to conceal the trafficking of women and girls.

 

According to Maxwell’s lawsuit against the estate, she claims to have been employed by Epstein and his companies from approximately 1999 to 2006 as a manager of the multi-millionaire’s luxury properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico, France and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She alleges that when she sought to start her own business venture in about 2004, she “received a typewritten letter from Epstein with a handwritten note asking Maxwell to remain in Epstein’s employ and promising that no matter what Maxwell chose to do, Epstein would always support [her] financially.”

Dutton says hoarders to be 'dealt with' by AFP, Border Force

 

Police and Australian Border Force have launched a joint bid to catch people suspected of hoarding supermarket goods and selling them on the black market in Australia and overseas amid the coronavirus outbreak.

 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said he believed the original panic buying of toilet paper and other items in Australia was sparked by profiteers.

 

"We do have some people who are profiteering, they are hoarding not for their own consumption," he told 2GB's Ray Hadley on Thursday morning.

 

"I think they are either selling some of the product overseas or they are selling it in a blackmarket arrangement in Australia. I'm going to come after those people and I'll give them a fair warning now: it won't be a pretty experience when we deal with them.

 

"If people are profiteering out of a national crisis, then they are going to be dealt with."

 

Asked whether the buying was "highly organised and has a criminal element", Mr Dutton said: "I believe that there is but we are working through that at the moment."

 

"And [we] will come down like a tonne of bricks on these individuals because I think they're the ones who have created this pattern of behaviour of hoarding and clearing out shelves," he said.

 

Mr Dutton said the Australian Federal Police, Border Force and state police forces were in talks about how to catch hoarders selling products on the black market.

 

He said Australians who had photos or information such as vehicle registration numbers of mass hoarders should contact Crime Stoppers.

 

The move comes as 24-pack rolls of toilet paper are regularly selling for more than $100 online in Australia.

 

"We're trying to deal with this issue and make sure that common sense is restored because some irrational behaviour at the moment, as the Prime Minister has pointed out, is unacceptable," Mr Dutton said.

 

"People who are assaulting somebody or involved in some of the footage that we have seen … are going to be dealt with by the police.

 

"There is certainly a bigger police effort now across a number of sites where we do have concern."

 

Mr Dutton said he had recovered from the symptoms of COVID-19, the illness caused by the latest coronavirus, but was awaiting two negative tests before he was allowed out of self-isolation.

 

The minister, who contracted the disease last week, said it was important for Australians to realise the symptoms could be mild so they should get tested if they believed they had been in contact with someone with the virus.

 

"I have had nothing more than Panadol, [I] haven't had a fever since I left hospital and … it's a heavy flu. And I think that's going to be the experience for the vast majority of people who catch it," he said.

Silent no more: Three sisters’ extraordinary campaign to bring their former headmistress to justice | Our update on ‘The Justice Principle’ Monday on #AustralianStory @ABCTV

 

https://twitter.com/AustralianStory/status/1240539335838986240

 

 

The Justice Principle (Updated)

 

Dassi Erlich and her two sisters were brought up in Melbourne’s insular Jewish Adass community where they say they were sexually assaulted by their former headmistress Malka Leifer.

 

When the allegations surfaced, the mother of eight went to Israel where she has fought extradition for more than five years.

 

We join Dassi, Nicole and Elly as they return to Israel to investigate why the case has stalled after more than 60 hearings and whether a senior Israeli cabinet minister pressured psychiatrists to declare Malka Leifer unfit for extradition.

 

The sisters are also trying to harness the influence of the global Jewish community to crack what they say is a pervasive culture of cover-up.

The Justice Principle - Part 1

 

Introduced by Ted Baillieu, former Premier of Victoria.

 

Dassi Erlich and her two sisters are a formidable force.

 

Their ongoing battle to extradite former headmistress Malka Leifer from Israel to face sexual abuse allegations in Australia has made headlines across the globe.

 

But despite the public attention, the personal stories of the three sisters have remained largely private.

 

In the first program of a two-part special, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper give their first Australian interviews and, together with Dassi, speak candidly about their time at the Adass Israel school in Melbourne.

 

The program also features extracts from Dassi Erlich’s teenage diary which provide a haunting account of her traumatic childhood.

The Justice Principle - Part 2

 

Concluding the story of Dassi Erlich and her two sisters, who are fighting to extradite their former headmistress from Israel to face sexual abuse charges.

 

After the alleged abuse against the three sisters came to light in 2008, principal Malka Leifer was stood down by the Adass Israel school which facilitated her immediate departure to Israel.

 

Although Australian authorities have been trying to extradite her for several years Malka Leifer convinced the Israeli courts she was too mentally unwell to face a hearing.

 

That prompted an undercover operation to prove her mental fitness which recently resulted in Malka Leifer’s return to jail.

 

For Dassi and her two sisters — Nicole and Elly — justice finally seems closer than ever before.

Evil 8 paedophile Alfred Impicciatore's appeal dismissed over notorious WA child abuse case

 

Alfred Impicciatore, one of the so-called Evil 8 paedophile ring, has lost an appeal against his conviction for abusing a young girl in one of Western Australia's most notorious child sex crimes.

 

He had been given a sentence of more than nine years for sexually abusing the girl who was aged between 10 and 13 at the time.

 

She was pimped out to several men by her father, who either remained while the abuse happened or participated in it.

 

Seven men — including the father — pleaded guilty to charges laid in relation to the investigation into the abuse.

 

Impicciatore, who was arrested in 2015, was the only one of the group to plead not guilty.

 

He appeared in court from Casuarina Prison via video link and when asked if he had anything to say in response to the finding said: "No".

 

Impicciatore was convicted after a trial was shown a video recorded interview he did with police after his arrest in May 2015, in which he admitted he had sex with the girl, but said her father had told him she was 17.

 

In his appeal against his conviction, he contended the video interview should not have been allowed as evidence in his trial because he did not participate voluntarily.

 

He said he was arrested in what he said was a "show of force", which he characterised as a "witch hunt".

 

Impicciatore also claimed he was misled into thinking he had spoken to a lawyer about whether he should participate in the interview.

 

Impicciatore's second ground of appeal was based on his "unlawful detention" by police beyond the six-hour limit, which the law stipulates.

 

If police want to extend a suspect's detention beyond that time, it has to be authorised by an officer not involved in the investigation, but in Impicciatore's case the approval was given by an officer who was involved.

 

During that extended time Impicciatore made confessions, which he said should have been ruled inadmissible.

The horrors of the 'Evil 8' and how a young girl was preyed upon by her father, strangers

 

8 Nov 2017

 

It was a tip-off from a member of the public that led police to uncover one of Western Australia's worst instances of child sexual abuse and exploitation.

 

A young girl, raped by her own father over a period of two years when she was aged between 11 and 13, who also offered her up for abuse at the hands of strangers he met on the internet.

 

While the identity of that member of the public is not known, it can be said they saved the child from further abuse — lifting the lid on the horrors of what is now infamously known as the "Evil 8".

 

The first details of the girl's ordeal were revealed at a media conference conducted by police officers from the Child Abuse Squad in July 2015.

 

What was being said could hardly be believed.

 

Eight men had been charged with hundreds of offences, involving and facilitated by the girl's father who had arranged for them to meet at various locations so his daughter could be abused.

 

Hundreds of thousands of videos and millions of indecent images — described by Detective Superintendent Glenn Feeney as "disgusting material" — were seized.

 

"There are no words to describe it," Detective Superintendent Feeney said.

 

"In this case we rescued a 13-year-old child.

 

"She was rescued from this horrible situation she was in."

 

Seven of the men were not known to each other. The only common link was the father.

Defence Minister Linda Reynolds Media Releases

 

Statement on Four Corners report

 

16 March 2020

 

I am deeply disturbed by what has been aired in tonight’s Four Corners report.

 

I have been steadfast in my support for the IGADF Inquiry which is investigating allegations about the conduct of Australia’s Special Forces in Afghanistan over the period 2005 to 2016.

 

Where serious allegations are raised, Australians would rightly expect they are thoroughly examined.

 

The Chief of the Defence Force has advised me that the IGADF will soon provide a report on the findings of the Afghanistan Inquiry.

Coronavirus Australia: Queensland researchers find ‘cure’, want drug trial

 

Some patients who tested positive for coronavirus in Australia have already been treated with one of the drugs and “all did very, very well,” researchers say.

 

A team of Australian researchers say they’ve found a cure for the novel coronavirus and hope to have patients enrolled in a nationwide trial by the end of the month.

 

University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research director Professor David Paterson told news.com.au today they have seen two drugs used to treat other conditions wipe out the virus in test tubes.

 

He said one of the medications, given to some of the first people to test positive for COVID-19 in Australia, had already resulted in “disappearance of the virus” and complete recovery from the infection.

 

Prof Paterson, who is also an infectious disease physician at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, said it wasn’t a stretch to label the drugs “a treatment or a cure”.

 

“It’s a potentially effective treatment,” he said.

 

“Patients would end up with no viable coronavirus in their system at all after the end of therapy.”

 

The drugs are both already registered and available in Australia.

 

“What we want to do at the moment is a large clinical trial across Australia, looking at 50 hospitals, and what we’re going to compare is one drug, versus another drug, versus the combination of the two drugs,” Prof Paterson said.

 

Given their history, researchers have a “long experience of them being very well tolerated” and there are no unexpected side effects.

 

“We’re not on a flat foot, we can sort of move ahead very rapidly with enrolling Australians in this trial,” Prof Paterson said.

 

“It’s the question we all have – we know it’s coming now, what is the best way to treat it?”

Second NSW South Coast man charged with a terrorism offence

 

A 23-year-old Batemans Bay man has been charged with a terrorism offence following the execution of search warrants over the past five days on the NSW south coast.

 

The man was arrested on Sunday, March 15 (2020), outside the Nowra police station, after hunting knives and survivalist equipment were found in the car he was driving.

 

The man was detained under specified time provisions of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) as members of the NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) conducted enquiries into his links to a 21-year-old Sanctuary Point man charged with a terrorism offence on Sunday, 15 March 2020.

 

The Batemans Bay man was charged yesterday evening (Friday, 20 March) with one count of acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts. This offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

 

He was also charged with two counts of possessing a prohibited firearm, contrary to Section 7(1) of the Prohibited Firearms Act 1996 (Cth).

 

Police will allege that the 23-year-old man was involved in early-stage planning and preparation for a terrorist act. It will further be alleged he was working with the Sanctuary Point man to acquire military equipment, including firearms and other items capable of making improvised explosive devices.

 

Items seized during a search of the man’s residence in the Batemans Bay suburb of Catalina include electronic items, hunting knives, survivalist equipment and a replica firearm.

 

An initial forensic examination of the electronic items uncovered a large quantity of extreme right-wing and anti-government material.

 

Further search warrants on premises in Sanctuary Point, Falls Creek and Tapitallee – all located near Nowra – between Thursday, 19 March and Saturday, 21 March resulted in the seizure of items that could be used in the construction of an improvised explosive device, electronic devices and other material that will be the subject of further examination.

 

These locations were of interest to JCTT investigators due to possible links to both men charged as part of this investigation.

 

The 23-year-old man is expected to face Nowra Local Court today (Saturday 21 March).

 

Investigations by the NSW JCTT remain ongoing.

 

The NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team is comprised of the Australian Federal Police, NSW Police Force, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and NSW Crime Commission.

 

Anyone with information about extremist activity or possible threats to the community should come forward, no matter how small or insignificant you may think the information may be. The National Security Hotline is 1800 123 400.

Revealed: Prince Andrew's accuser Virginia Roberts fled Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after they asked her to have their surrogate baby

 

For 11 years, top American lawyer Bradley Edwards made it his ‘life’s mission’ on behalf of countless young women victims to put Jeffrey Epstein behind bars. Now in a compelling new book, entitled Relentless Pursuit, stories from which we are featuring over three weeks, he tells how he brought the ‘sociopath with unlimited wealth’ to justice…

 

Virginia Roberts was a striking 16-year-old with drive and a determination to improve herself. She was doing just that – reading a book on a bench one lunchtime – outside Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Her father, who worked at the club as a maintenance man, had helped her to get a job there that summer of 1999 as a towel girl in the women’s changing rooms.

 

Suddenly, the teenager was approached by a smartly dressed and rather charming woman. A British accent added to the sense of allure.

 

The woman showed an interest in the book Virginia was reading – on massage therapy, as it happened – and wasted no time telling her that she could get her a job with a billionaire friend who owned a house just around the corner.

 

Virginia’s reaction was disarmingly honest, telling the well-spoken stranger that she knew little about massage and was merely interested to learn about it as a potential career.

 

This didn’t matter, said the woman: she and the billionaire friend would teach Virginia anything she needed to know. ‘I’m Ghislaine. See you tonight,’ she added, handing over an address written on an envelope.

 

This, of course, was Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of disgraced media tycoon Robert Maxwell.

 

Virginia’s head was spinning. A girl from a family where money had always been a struggle was really about to start working for a billionaire?

 

She ran to her father, excited. Someone thought she was important. This was her chance and she couldn’t let it slip.

 

For Virginia, as I was to learn when I became her lawyer, had endured a difficult childhood. As a teenager, her parents had put her in a home for troubled girls but she ran away to Miami. There, she had been groomed by a man almost 50 years her senior who was running a prostitution racket.

 

After a brief involvement with the police, her parents rescued her and got her the job at Mar-a-Lago. I first met Virginia a decade after her initial encounter with Maxwell and a year after taking on the case of 20-year-old Courtney Wild, who had been sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein.

 

Having listened to Courtney’s testimony, my blood pressure rose. This man needed to be stopped.

 

At first, the case sounded easy. It was anything but. Over the course of 11 years, the investigation took me all over the United States and beyond.

 

Virginia Roberts, I discovered, was one of countless young girls involved with Epstein and had begun a civil lawsuit against him.

 

She had been to his house in New York (one of the largest townhouses in Manhattan), his ranch in New Mexico (which had its own airplane runway), his apartment in Paris, and his private island in the US Virgin Islands, Little Saint James (which was nicknamed Little Saint Jeff’s).

 

She had travelled the world with Epstein and was a true insider with detailed knowledge of the structure of his organisation.

 

She held the key to building a water-tight case against him and putting him where he belonged – behind bars.

 

I found Virginia to be a powerful woman who would not scare easily or be bullied by anyone.

 

She recounted how her father had driven her that evening in 1999 to Epstein’s palatial Palm Beach mansion at El Brillo Way.

 

Too naive to be scared, Virginia hopped out of the car and went to the front door boiling with excitement, ready to learn. She was pinching herself to remember that this wasn’t just a dream.

 

‘Jeffrey has been waiting to meet you,’ said Maxwell as she greeted her at the door, before heading up the stairs. ‘Follow me.’

MUH CORONA MUH PANIC

 

The West Australian border will be closed in coming days and Rottnest Island may be turned into a COVID-19 quarantine zone, Premier Mark McGowan has announced.

 

Mr McGowan said entry to WA would be restricted via road, rail, air and sea from 1.30pm on Tuesday, with exemptions for essential services and trucking.

 

'These are extreme steps but these are extreme days,' he told reporters on Sunday, as 30 new cases were confirmed overnight, bringing the state's total to 120.

 

It comes just hours after South Australian Premier Steven Marshall announced that anyone entering the state would be subject to a mandatory 14-day isolation period.

Australia coronavirus shutdown: which places are closed and which are open …

 

From midday Monday, registered and licensed clubs, licensed premises in hotels and pubs, entertainment venues and cinemas, casinos and nightclubs will all close

Restaurants and cafes will be restricted to takeaway only.

Indoor sporting venues and places of worship will close.

Enclosed spaces for funerals and “things of that nature” will have to follow the strict four square metre rule which will be enforced.

on schools, Morrison said the clear medical advice is that schools should remain open. He said he does not want children to miss a school year. Victoria and NSW would re-open schools after the imminent school holiday period, he said, so long as the medical advice allowed it. Schools would move toward online learning but remain open for students who needed it, he said.

Morrison said this was only stage one of the social distancing measures. If Australians fail to adhere to the rules, more draconian measures will be introduced. Stage two has not yet been defined or discussed.

Shopping centres are not being closed, he said, and there is no reason to hoard.

Bottle shops are also remaining open. Home deliveries and takeaway food businesses will also continue to operate.

Australia officially in shutdown -

 

On Monday, pubs, restaurants, cafes, casinos, sporting venues and cinemas will shut down across Australia - may last 6 months.

 

From Monday at midday, Australia will become a vastly different place to live as pubs, clubs, restaurants, cinemas and indoor sporting venues across the country shut down indefinitely.

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced a new raft of unprecedented restrictions on non-essential gatherings in a bid to slow the rapid spread of coronavirus.

 

More liberal measures rolled out last week fell on deaf ears, with Australians continuing to cram into venues across the country this weekend.

 

“We don’t now have any confidence that people would refrain from gathering in those ways, in those pubs, clubs and nightclubs,” Mr Morrison said at a press conference in Canberra.

 

“We have no confidence that will be followed. So unfortunately, because guidelines can’t be followed, then for public health reasons we now need to take further action which shuts those gatherings down.”

 

As a result, stage one of tough new restrictions will be implemented on Monday, March 23 at noon, covering a wide range of venues that will see them shut down.

 

And they could stay shut for up to six months.

Australia Warned Beer Could Run out if Not Classified as ‘Essential’ to Life

 

Australians face the grim prospect of running out of beer in a matter of weeks unless the amber fluid is classified as “essential” to life and breweries are exempted from a range of closures Down Under due to the Chinese coronavirus epidemic.

 

Carlton and United Breweries, whose major brewery is in Abbotsford, Melbourne, wants the Victorian state government to include breweries in the “essential services” that remain open as the country experienced a run on liquor stores Sunday as buyers panicked and stormed outlets to buy as much alcohol as they could.

 

“Carlton & United Breweries, Australia’s largest brewer, is greatly concerned about no beer being available in Australia for at least three months if beer is not given exempt status, and what this would mean for tens of thousands of jobs,” a spokesman told the Australian newspaper.

 

The company claims Australians “need normalcy in their lives” and believe this includes accessing unlimited beer supplies, something many Aussies took to social media to affirm:

 

“You can’t turn major breweries off and then quickly turn them back on. After re-opening there could be three months of no beer for pubs and bottleshops,” he said.

 

In a press conference late on Sunday night, Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison said bottleshops, or “off license” alcohol retailers, would be excluded from closures of pubs and dining hotels but gave no indication as to the future of commercial breweries, as the Age newspaper reported.

 

“Off license parts of those premises [pubs and hotels], or bottle shops, that particularly applies in places like Tasmania, and in Queensland I understand, they will be excluded from these arrangements, they work like any other retail premises – they are not a place of people gathering, in an off-licence bottle shop,” he said.

 

Beer, wine and spirits were just the latest entrants to the list of items being stockpiled during the unfolding pandemic as Morrison sought to address the issue and soothe worries that the prospect of pubs with no beer was somehow an endangerment to life as it is written in Australian folklore:

Billionaire Clive Palmer taps deep pockets to fight the coronavirus

 

Billionaire Clive Palmer says he’ll pay for more than one million doses of a malaria drug that could help fight coronavirus.

 

The former federal MP says he’s happy to lose his money, but he believes Hydroxychloroquine could help prevent infections, or reduce the severity of illness in those who do get the virus.

 

Mr Palmer has promised to fund the manufacture or acquisition of the courses, and has appointed Brisbane pharmacist Jeremey Sheridan to “lead the effort to oversee the large-scale manufacturing of the drug in Australia”.

 

News Corp reported a small number of Australian coronavirus patients have been successfully medicated with drugs including hydroxychloroquine and the HIV medication Kaletra.

 

The World Health Organisation last week said it would study the drug’s effectiveness, and US President Donald Trump has been touting its possible benefits, with studies underway in America and in Europe.

 

Mr Sheridan said Australia needed to act fast to ensure it has enough of the drug.

 

“While the clinical trials in Australia in 50 hospitals may take four to five months to complete, it is important that arrangements for the large-scale manufacture or acquisition of Hydroxychloroquine proceed quickly,” he said.

 

“We cannot wait. To delay now could cost Australian lives in the coming months. We cannot wait to start the process of large-scale acquisition of the drug.”

 

Mr Palmer says he wants to ensure all Australians have access to the drug as soon as possible.

 

He said he would personally fund over 1,000,000 courses and donate it to Australia’s national drug stockpile, so people could have access regardless of their financial circumstances.

 

“We are proceeding as fast as we can to initiate the manufacturing process in Australia,” the former MP said.

 

“I will spend whatever it takes.”

 

He said he was willing to lose his money if the drug did not turn out to be as effective as he hopes.

 

“If we are wrong, I lose some money but if we are right we may save the lives of thousands of our citizens. Australia must move now with urgency.”

Third man charged following operational activity on the NSW South Coast

 

The NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) has charged a third man following the culmination of operational activity last week on NSW’s South Coast.

 

A 19-year-old Falls Creek man was arrested by NSW JCTT investigators on Saturday (21 March 2020), and subsequently charged with one count of possession of an unauthorised firearm, contrary to Section 7 (1) of the Firearms Act 1996. The offence carries a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment.

 

The arrest of this man followed enquiries by the NSW JCTT into his alleged links to a 21-year-old Sanctuary Point man charged with a terrorism offence on Sunday 15 March 2020, and a 23-year-old Batemans Bay man charged with a terrorism offence last Friday (20 March 2020).

 

The 19-year-old man was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear at Nowra Local Court on Monday 1 June 2020.

 

Investigations by the NSW JCTT remain ongoing.

 

The NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team is comprised of the Australian Federal Police, NSW Police Force, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and NSW Crime Commission.

 

Anyone with information about extremist activity or possible threats to the community should come forward, no matter how small or insignificant you may think the information may be.

 

The National Security Hotline is 1800 123 400.

Assange bids for bail amid virus outbreak

 

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's lawyers will lodge a bail application amid the outbreak of coronavirus in the UK.

 

The 48-year-old is currently being held on remand in the maximum security Belmarsh prison near London, while he is locked in a legal battle against his extradition to the US.

 

WikiLeaks says the Australian's lawyers will lodge a bail application in Woolwich Crown Court on Wednesday, arguing that he's vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic if he continues to be held in the prison.

 

"Julian Assange falls into a category of persons who should be released to mitigate the impact of COVID-19," the organisation said in a statement on Monday.

 

The Prison Officers Association confirmed last week that across the UK more than 100 staff and 75 prisoners were in isolation after showing coronavirus symptoms. At least one prisoner has tested positive in Manchester.

 

The Prisoners Advice Service, a charity, asked the Ministry of Justice to release low-risk and elderly prisoners to protect staff and other inmates from the disease.

 

Spain, the US and Iran have already released thousands of low-risk prisoners to stop the Covid-19 from spreading further and WikiLeaks said Assange's bail bid comes after the UK has failed to follow suit.

 

Last month, Assange's bid to leave the dock and sit with his lawyers in court was knocked back by Judge Vanessa Baraitser.

 

The US government is trying to extradite Assange to face 17 charges of violating the Espionage Act and one of conspiring to commit computer intrusion over the leaking and publishing of thousands of classified US diplomatic and military files.

 

The charges carry a total of 175 years' imprisonment.

Epstein ‘pimp’ Ghislaine Maxwell denies victim’s baby surrogacy claim – as Epstein’s ‘no father figure’

 

JEFFREY Epstein ‘pimp’ Ghislaine Maxwell DENIES former sex slave Virginia Roberts’ claims that they both asked her to be their baby surrogate - by stating that she wasn't sure the billionaire paedophile was "good father material".

 

The Brit socialite spoke out from hiding to respond to attorney Bradley Edwards’ book revelations which state that Virginia fled the odd couple aged 19 when they made the outrageous suggestion of her having a child for them to raise.

 

Her family friend Laura Goldman - who still speaks to her despite her repeated refusals to reveal her whereabouts - told Sun Online: “She told me that she wasn’t sure that Jeffrey was good father material and someone she could raise a child with. The only response to that is ‘you don’t say!’.

 

“She says she might have grown up in a family of nine children so she has many nieces and nephews but she never had the desire to have a child herself. She doesn't have the maternal yearning that many women do.”

 

Her response comes just a day after the Epstein’s victims’ attorney’s book revealed that the former sex slave finally managed to escape their hold over her when they made the shocking baby surrogate suggestion.

 

Laura continued: “Ghislaine claims that she knows there is a story about Virginia being asked to carry a baby for Jeffrey and her - but she says that it's not true. She says that they didn't have that kind of relationship then. Nor would she have wanted to raise a child with him anyway.

 

"During that time she only worked for Jeffrey."

 

Mr Edwards' new book, ‘Relentless Pursuit’ says it became his “life mission” to get justice for Epstein’s victims including Virginia Roberts (now Guiffre) for more than a decade.

 

In its Mail on Sunday serialisation, he says he asked Virginia to prove her allegations, continuing: "She sent me the envelope that Maxwell had given her when they first met with directions to Epstein’s address as well as travel and hotel receipts charged to Epstein’s card.

 

"Not long afterwards, Virginia showed me a photograph of herself, aged 17, wedged in between Maxwell and Andrew."

 

The Prince has always strongly denied having sex with Roberts in London and New York, and at an orgy on Epstein’s private Virgin Island.

 

The attorney describes the former sex slave as a "powerful woman who would not scare easily or be bullied by anyone".

 

His book alleges that Maxwell, now 58, taught the then teen "all the skills needed to keep Epstein happy", but that the billionaire financier's "debauched world became too much for her".

 

The request was the final straw

 

After being trapped in the "sex cult for over two years", Maxwell and Epstein - dubbed Bonnie and Clyde by victims - allegedly asked her to carry his baby, Edwards writes.

 

Edwards claims that Roberts was asked to carry Epstein’s baby with the intention of handing the newborn child to him and was told that she would be looked after for the rest of her life.

 

Roberts apparently decided their request was the "final straw" and finally escaped their clutches during a trip to Thailand, where she'd flown to interview a young girl for Epstein's sordid entertainment.

 

After marrying an Australian she met and fell in love with there, Roberts ended up running away to Australia, where she is now a mum-of-three aged 36.

 

Prince Andrew has come under renewed pressure to be interviewed by the FBI as the new book exposes the extent of his former pal Epstein’s child abuse.

ADF adjusts posture in Middle East due to coronavirus

 

The ADF is temporarily relocating non-essential personnel from Iraq and Afghanistan as a result of COVID-19.

 

Minister for Defence Linda Reynolds said Australia regularly reviews its operational requirements in concert with Coalition partners and in consultation with the Iraqi and Afghanistan governments.

 

“Non-essential personnel will be relocated to Australia’s main logistics base in the Middle East and those who are close to concluding their operational duties will be able to return home,” Minister Reynolds said.

 

“This temporary measure is to preserve the safety of our people and partners, and to limit the spread of COVID-19 in operational areas.

 

“There will be no impact to the force-protection of ADF personnel remaining in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

 

The spread of COVID-19 has resulted in the suspension of training missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Australia will continue to review its force posture and resume training in the region 'when it is safe to do so.'

 

Lieutenant General John Frewen is heading a COVID-19 taskforce, working offline from his role as Principal Deputy Director-General of the Australian Signals Directorate for the duration of his appointment. ADF members returning from deployment are following all quarantine and protective measures from the Department of Health.

 

Defence also says it is monitoring the impact of the virus on the industry supply chain.

COVID-19: Defence sends troops to state health authorities

 

The Australian Defence Force will deploy personnel to help health authorities around the country as part of the national response to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

It comes just two months after 3000 ADF reservists were called out to help with bushfire recovery efforts.

 

On Monday Defence minister Linda Reynolds said reconnaissance and planning support teams have been placed in the Victorian, Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australian state coordination centres, with teams ready to assist the remaining jurisdictions.

 

“These ADF teams will provide logistics, transport, health and general planning assistance as the workload of civilian medical teams continues to increase as more Australians are diagnosed with, or affected by, COVID-19,” she said.

 

A “contact tracing support team” has been working with NSW Health since Sunday, Reynolds said, with contract tracing teams now being established in all states and territories.

 

There are currently more than 1350 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across the country, with 533 in NSW, 296 in Victoria, 259 in Queensland, 120 in Western Australia, 100 in South Australia, 22 in Tasmania, 19 in the ACT, and five in the Northern Territory. Seven people have died in Australia so far, with six of them in NSW.

 

Defence has been helping the Department of Health with logistics and specialist staff, Reynolds said, and has been providing clinical and epidemiological support to the department’s National Incident Room since early February.

 

Defence has also been assisting the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade with health, logistics and movements support, and has been contributing to the whole-of-government planning for the National Communicable Disease Incidence of National Significance Plan, led by Emergency Management Australia.

 

A taskforce has also been established to coordinate Defence’s contribution to whole-of-government efforts.

 

Led by Lieutenant General John Frewen, who is also principal deputy director-general of the Australian Signals Directorate, the taskforce has been established to “ensure that we are well prepared to continue business in light of COVID-19”.

 

The taskforce includes representatives from the APS and the ADF, according to Defence’s COVID-19 response webpage.

 

A small team of engineering maintenance specialists have also been deployed to Australia’s only manufacturer of surgical face masks until workers can be recruited.

 

Reynolds said her department would follow the advice of health authorities when prioritising its support arrangements.

 

“We will continue to ensure Defence medical facilities are appropriately staffed to minimise any impact on our public health system,” she said.

 

Back in January — when Australia’s focus was on the horror bushfire season rather than a global pandemic — Reynolds commented on the fact that the compulsory call-out of 3000 defence reservists to help with bushfire recovery was a first for Australia.

 

“The government has not taken this decision lightly. In fact, it is the first time that reserves have been called out in this way in living memory and, in fact, I believe for the first time in our nation’s history,” she said at the time.

Defence response to COVID-19

 

Defence is following whole-of-government guidance from the Department of Health in relation to COVID-19.

 

As Defence continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation, our priority is the health and wellbeing of personnel.

 

Each and every one of us can take steps to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

 

It is important to remember that for the vast majority of people, the illness will be mild or moderate and individuals will make a full recovery.

War hero Ben Roberts-Smith interviewed by police over alleged killing

 

The Australian Federal Police has interviewed former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith over allegations he kicked an Afghan prisoner off a cliff in a serious development in the long-running saga involving Australia’s most decorated Afghan veteran.

 

Legal sources confirmed that the federal police recently requested Mr Roberts-Smith to attend a formal interview to respond to allegations made by special forces insiders that he kicked a detainee off a cliff in September 2012.

 

Sources with knowledge of the situation say the Victoria Cross recipient recently attended a police interview in Canberra and, as is standard practice, was cautioned that what he said could be used against him if he was ever criminally prosecuted. While the AFP does not comment on investigations, requesting to interview a subject normally comes near the end of an exhaustive probe and after critical witness statements have been collected.

 

About 90 minutes after Mr Roberts-Smith's lawyer, Mark O'Brien, was contacted by The Age and Herald for comment, The Australian's defence writer Paul Maley quoted Mr Roberts-Smith confirming the police interview had taken place, and claiming he had volunteered for it.

 

In September, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald revealed that an AFP taskforce was investigating Mr Roberts-Smith over allegations he kicked a handcuffed and innocent detainee, Ali Jan, off a cliff in the village of Darwan in September 2012. The Darwan taskforce has obtained co-operation from SAS witnesses and support staff willing to testify on oath against the decorated soldier. A second police investigation is looking into allegations Mr Roberts-Smith is implicated in the summary execution of a man at a compound in southern Afghanistan in April 2009.

 

The Age and Herald are not suggesting Mr Roberts-Smith has been found guilty of any war crime, only that he is the subject of police probes sparked by allegations made by his SAS colleagues.

 

Mr Roberts-Smith is one of the most decorated veterans to have served with coalition forces in Afghanistan, has stridently denied all wrongdoing and has launched a defamation case against The Age and Herald for first uncovering and reporting the allegations made about him by his fellow soldiers.

 

While the AFP’s focus has for many months been on him, it is almost certainly going to open up a third probe into a different soldier from another SAS squadron. This follows the broadcast on the ABC’s Four Corners program of footage of an SAS 3 squadron soldier shooting an apparently unarmed and subdued Afghan in May 2012. That soldier was still active until last week, when he was stood down in the wake of that footage being aired.

 

Many more AFP probes could follow depending on the findings of a long-running military Inspector-General's inquiry into war crimes.

 

The organisation revealed in its recent annual report that Supreme Court of Appeal Judge Paul Brereton had, over four years, been probing multiple alleged executions involving SAS and Commandos.

 

Several of these cases are those reported over the last two years by The Age and Herald, according to defence personnel.

 

They include a case involving the confession of a Commando who admitted to personally executing an Afghan prisoner and also witnessing other executions. Another case involves claims made in 2019 by SAS medic Dusty Miller that an injured prisoner was taken from his care and allegedly executed in March 2012.

 

Defence sources said that for the past two years, the Inspector-General has focused on allegations of war crimes involved the SAS’s 2 squadron. Mr Roberts-Smith is one of the 2 squadron members under investigation.

 

The release of the vision on ABC’s Four Corners of an Afghan man being shot has spurred fresh inquires into the conduct of 3 squadron as well, according to defence sources. This has the potential to delay the imminent release of the Brereton report, despite increasing political pressure for the historic and likely damning inquiry to be completed.

Bid to halt coronavirus spread could see some NSW prisoners freed

 

Some of the state's 14,000 prisoners could be released as the NSW Government steps up its response to stop the spread of coronavirus.

 

Corrective Services Commissioner Peter Severin could be allowed to grant parole to certain inmates based on the threat of COVID-19 under proposed laws to be considered by Parliament.

 

The extraordinary powers would apply to low-risk and vulnerable prisoners, who would be subject to strict parole conditions.

 

That would include home detention, electronic monitoring and a pre-arranged schedule of movements.

 

Introducing the bill to Parliament today, Attorney-General Mark Speakman said it was designed to protect the health of inmates and staff.

 

"The bill seeks to provide us with powers we'll hope we never have to use but the evolution of the pandemic may require it," he said.

 

"This flexibility is needed to give the commissioner the capacity to protect the health of inmates and correctional services staff and ensure the good order and security of correctional premises through the emergency."

 

Vulnerable inmates include the elderly or those with a pre-existing medical condition, while the nature of the offence committed and the time left on a sentence would also be considered.

 

Those serving sentences for murder, terrorism or a serious sex offence will not be eligible for early release, nor will those serving a life sentence for any other serious offence.

 

Before making such an order, the commissioner will have to assess the risk to community safety and check whether the prisoner has been convicted of domestic violence charges.

 

The COVID-19 Legislation Amendment (Emergency Measures) Bill also allows the pre-recording of evidence to reduce the number of people having to attend courts across the state.

 

According to figures released by the Bureau of Crime Statistics in February, the number of people in jail across the state rose by almost 500 people last year to nearly 14,000.

 

Andrew Christopoulos, National President of the Australian Lawyers Alliance said a coronavirus outbreak in prisons would be a "human rights disaster".

 

"The risk of an outbreak of COVID-19 in a prison or detention centre is extremely serious," Mr Christopoulos said.

 

"This is potentially a human rights disaster for Australia, and governments must act urgently."

Australia: FISA related

AUSTRALIAN SECRET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE - BLACK OPS ARM OF THE AUS DEEP STATE?

This was the particular Australian spy agency that assisted in the attempted coup to overthrow POTUS.

This agency has a very controversial history of clown activity overseas and its activities are DIRECTED by the Australian gov through the department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

Notably - Alexander Downer ran DFAT from 1997-2007.

This means that the prime minister and the minister of foreign affairs in particular knew and gave the green light for ASIS to assist in the coup - None other than Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop.

Q asked the question of "who owns AUS? " and what is interesting is that ASIS was being exposed in the 90s for being a rogue entity and that the organisation was being purged of officers and spying on their own citizens among other things (pic related). Could it be that the UK was involved in removing the white hats in ASIS and thus gained controlled of it and it's activities?

ASIS runs the "black ops" on behalf of the Australian deep state overseas and given legal permission to do so under an act that was passed when PM John Howard was in office. These clowns are able to ASSIST in violent or paramilitary activities but not involved in the actual execution of the operation (pic related).

Australian PM says 'stay at home' as coronavirus shuts down large sections of economy and social life

 

Large sections of the Australian economy and social life will be shut down from midnight on Wednesday, after the national cabinet agreed to a range of further restrictions on indoor and outdoor gatherings in addition to a ban on non-essential overseas travel to combat the Covid-19 outbreak.

 

But despite the range of further restrictions, Scott Morrison said the national cabinet would not “just rush on the sense of an opinion of inevitability” towards a full lockdown, because measures to contain the spread of the virus may yet prevent it and more severe action would threaten the livelihoods of many Australians.

 

On Tuesday evening Morrison announced that real estate auctions and open houses, markets, personal services including beauty salons, food courts in shopping centres, arcades, amusement parks, play centres, community centres, health and fitness, social sport, cultural institutions and swimming pools will all be closed.

 

Morrison told reporters in Canberra that Australians would be urged to “stay at home unless it is absolutely necessary you go out”, suggesting that outings should be limited to “basics” such as attendance at work, exercise with a partner or small group, or attending shops to buy food or medicine.

 

Morrison acknowledged that New South Wales and Victoria – which pushed for more extensive restrictions – were “far more advanced” than other states in terms of case numbers, but despite not all states being in the same position, the cabinet had still achieved “consistency of application”.

 

With hundreds of thousands facing unemployment, the federal government has suspended mutual obligations to apply for jobs to obtain jobseeker payments for one week, with further measures to protect renters now expected to be decided on Wednesday not Tuesday, as planned.

 

In addition to widespread business closures, Morrison announced new restrictions on funerals, which must be limited to 10 people or fewer, and weddings, which are limited to the marrying couple, celebrant and witnesses.

 

Social visits to one another’s houses “should be kept to a minimum and with a very small numbers of guests”, he said, although the government would not be “overly specific” on the limits of social life.

 

Morrison warned that states and territories would also consider whether to make it an offence to hold house parties, with barbecues and birthday gatherings also listed as events that should no longer occur.

 

Morrison said the “do not travel” advisory on overseas trips would be upgraded to a ban on Wednesday, with limited exceptions for essential work, aid workers and compassionate grounds.

 

The federal government will also look to create a new offence in relation to profiteering on the export of essential goods overseas, including medical supplies and personal protective equipment.

 

Asked if a fuller lockdown, such as implemented by the UK, was now inevitable, Morrison replied “hopefully it is not necessary”.

 

“If we do all the things that [chief medical officer] Dr Murphy has outlined, and these other quite strict measures we have put in place about areas of social gathering … stopping all those things we believe will have a really significant impact, we would hope, on the spread of the virus.”

 

Morrison said the medical advice remained to keep schools open, and he would meet with the education sector and unions on Wednesday about measures to do so while protecting teachers.

 

On Tuesday, the total number of coronavirus cases in Australia reached 2,139, with 95 new cases confirmed in NSW, 78 in Queensland and 56 in Victoria.

 

A group of experts from the Group of Eight universities, asked by the chief medical officer to advise on social distancing, backed the “the stronger decisions being now taken by government and what we term as the ‘go now, go hard and go smart’ strategy”.

 

In a letter sent to the health minister, Greg Hunt, on Sunday, the experts warned at its current rate of increase Australia “could theoretically expect over 6,000 cases by the end of next week and over 50,000 cases by Easter”.

 

They recommended that Australia “without delay implements national stronger social distancing measures, more extensive banning of mass gatherings, school closure or class dismissal”.

Jacinda Ardern asks for coronavirus relief for New Zealanders banned from Australia's welfare

 

NZ PM says she made a direct appeal for a temporary change to the rules to allow laid-off New Zealanders living in Australia to access benefits

 

The New Zealand prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, is urging her Australian counterpart, Scott Morrison, to allow New Zealand citizens living and working in Australia access to welfare benefits as the Covid-19 pandemic triggers mass unemployment across the country.

 

Speaking on Tuesday, Ardern said she had raised the issue directly with Morrison, with a specific request for a “a short-term exemption” to Centrelink restrictions on the more than 650,000 New Zealanders living and working in Australia.

 

“I have raised this issue with prime minister Morrison. I have specifically sought … a short-term exemption, just for these exceptional circumstances for New Zealanders to be supported, not least because it will encourage compliance at a time when we need everyone to be self-isolating if they had to, for instance,” Ardern said.

 

“That is not something that has happened at this time, but it is something that has been raised by both the deputy prime minister and myself with our counterparts.”

 

Labor also urged the government to use expanded powers endorsed by the Senate on Monday night to allow the more than 1.6 million temporary visa holders in Australia immediate access to special benefit payments to prevent hundreds of “trapped” migrants who lose work becoming destitute.

 

The social services minister, Anne Ruston, said on Tuesday that under new regulations passed by the parliament, she was able to make any necessary changes to the payment system to deal with the “evolving situation” caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, including in relation to special benefits.

 

The special benefit payment is currently accessed by only about 7,000 people and is available to people in “financial distress” who are not otherwise eligible for Centrelink benefits. The most recent data available from the Department of Social Services suggests the payment is predominantly made to those over 65, and people born in Iran and China.

 

The shadow home affairs minister, Kristina Keneally, has been pushing the government to make provisions for temporary visa holders in Australia, who are “soon to be trapped here with varying levels of healthcare and no access to income support”.

 

The government has said that the special benefit payment is available to people on a range of visas, including temporary partner visas, temporary humanitarian visas, bridging visas for victims of human trafficking, and temporary residents on skilled visas.

 

But so far there are no provisions for most of the temporary visa holders currently living and working in Australia, including the more than 650,000 New Zealanders who have access to the health system, but not Centrelink benefits.

 

Debbie Baird, a New Zealander living in Geelong, said the restrictions on New Zealanders who had been in Australia for less than 10 years being able to access the special benefit felt like “another kick in the teeth”.

 

“We’re out in the cold yet again. It’s hard being a New Zealander in this country,” Baird said.

 

“We are part of this society, we live here and work here and we pay our taxes here. We contribute, but now we’re left out again.”

 

Baird said she remained in employment, but had heard from many in her community who’d been left without work or hope of government assistance, and facing destitution.

 

“We need to support each other, a little bit of the Anzac spirit to help each other out. No one asked for this horrible virus to come, we need to work together.”

 

On Tuesday, Ruston said the government had already scrapped the waiting period for people on the path to citizenship to allow them access to benefits.

 

“There are a range of different visas [and] I am currently working my way through those visa types to see what options there are available to assist those people,” Ruston said.

Nearly 36 million messages will be sent over coming days and we thank Telstra, Optus and Vodafone for their support in delivering this important message.

 

We need every Australian to do their bit and understand how serious this health crisis is.

 

Australians should follow these simple actions to stop the spread of coronavirus:

 

  • Be at least 1.5 metres away from everyone and don’t gather with others

 

  • If you're sick, stay at home

 

  • Wash your hands and do it often

 

  • Cough or sneeze into your elbow and not your hands

 

  • Don't touch your face at all, even if it itches

 

  • And if you’ve returned from overseas or in isolation you must adhere to the rules

 

These measures will help us all to stop the spread of this virus and protect lives.

 

Staying away from others is not the Australian way of life but it's essential to our future and how we overcome coronavirus.

Christchurch mosque attacker Brenton Tarrant changes plea to guilty, to be sentenced for 51 murders

 

'The Australian man accused of murdering 51 people in the terror attacks on two Christchurch mosques last year has admitted he carried out the killings.

 

Brenton Tarrant, 29, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on all charges in an appearance by video link in the High Court at Christchurch this morning.

 

As well as the 51 murder charges, he also pleaded guilty to 40 charges of attempted murder, and a terrorism charge.

 

Tarrant's trial, which had been set down for June, will now not take place.

 

The date for his sentencing is yet to be set. New Zealand police say it will only take place when it is possible for all victims who want to attend to do so.

 

Thursday's small hearing was held at short notice, on Tarrant's request.

 

The imams of the two mosques attacked were present, but because of coronavirus restrictions, they were among only 17 people allowed in the courtroom.

 

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made a few brief comments following Tarrant's admissions.

 

"The guilty plea today will provide some relief to the many people whose lives were shattered by what happened on March 15 (2019)," she said.

 

"These guilty pleas and conviction bring accountability for what happened and also save the families who lost loved ones, those who were injured, and other witnesses, the ordeal of a trial.

 

"I can't make any further comment given that sentencing is yet to happen."

 

Tarrant has been in custody since was he arrested on the day of the attack.

 

He stormed the mosques during Friday prayers, armed with several high-powered weapons, and live-streamed the attack online in what is the single-worst terrorist attack carried out by an Australian.

 

The video showed Tarrant entering a mosque and opening fire on dozens of people, before fleeing in a vehicle.

 

He continued to fire his automatic weapon out of the car's window.

 

At the time, authorities urged people not to share or watch the video, and undertook extensive efforts to remove it from the internet.

 

It was initially viewed 4,000 times before being taken off Facebook.

 

New Zealand's gun laws were changed following the attacks, after it was revealed Tarrant had a gun licence that allowed him to legally obtain weapons.

 

The country's national security threat level was also raised to high, for the first time.

 

During earlier hearings, many of which were procedural, family and friends of the victims had packed the courtroom.

 

In one of his recent appearances, Tarrant had withdrawn his application to move his trial away from Christchurch to Auckland.

 

His lawyer declined to answer questions on why his client decided to withdraw the application.

 

A royal commission was also established to examine what government agencies knew about Tarrant in the lead-up to the attacks, what actions were taken, what could have been done to prevent the atrocity and what could be done to prevent future attacks.

 

As the commission was going to dig deeply into some highly classified, national security information, it was held almost exclusively behind closed doors.

Coronavirus: Julian Assange loses bail bid amid infection fears

 

A judge has rejected an appeal from Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be bailed from a London jail because of the coronavirus.

 

Mr Assange told the Westminster Magistrates Court that he was at increased risk of contracting the virus while in Belmarsh prison, south London.

 

But district judge Vanessa Baraitser said Assange’s past behaviour – alluding to him seeking asylum in the Ecuardor embassy in London for nearly seven years – was an indication of his flight risk.

 

“As matters stand today this global pandemic does not, of itself, yet provide grounds for Mr Assange’s release,” Judge Baraitser said.

 

“In my view there are substantial grounds to believe that if I released him today, he would not return to face his extradition hearing.

 

“There are no conditions that allay this concern and this application is therefore refused.”

 

Assange’s defence lawyer Edward Fitzgerald QC outlined some health conditions suffered by Assange, 48, which put him at higher risk if he caught the virus. They included chest and tooth infections, and osteoporosis.

 

Mr Fitzgerald said: “If he continues to be detained in prison … there is a real risk that his health and his life will be seriously endangered in circumstances from which he cannot escape.’’

 

He also raised concerns that the ongoing pandemic might hinder the progress of the extradition trial which is due to convene on May 18.

 

Witnesses for Mr Assange include some people living overseas, the court heard. It was also revealed that Assange’s partner and two children were residing in the UK.

 

Assange is being held in Belmarsh on remand while the US extradition hearing continues. The WikiLeaks founder faces 17 US charges of spying and one of computer hacking for publishing classified US documents obtained from the former US soldier Chelsea Manning.

Australian paedophile fights to stop police alerting Indonesia to convictions

 

A convicted paedophile who wants to travel to Indonesia has fought to stop the Australian Federal Police revealing his criminal history to officials in that country.

 

Wilfred Mentink, a former high school teacher in Brisbane, was convicted in November 2017 of two counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16 after a jury found him guilty of molesting two 14-year-old boys on a camping trip in 1976.

 

He was sentenced to nine months in prison, suspended after four months, and released in March 2018.

 

Mr Mentink's name is entered on the Queensland child protection offender register and Commonwealth law imposes restrictions on his ability to travel overseas.

 

In February, the Queensland Police Commissioner refused him permission to travel to Indonesia and live there indefinitely.

 

He filed Federal Court proceedings in December against the AFP Commissioner and the Queensland Police Commissioner, before the decision denying him permission to travel had been made.

 

He is now seeking to overturn the Queensland Police Commissioner's decision.

 

He had also asked the Federal Court to make an order restraining the AFP from "communicating to the government of the Republic of Indonesia information about the applicant’s criminal history and scheduled arrival".

 

In a decision this month, Justice John Logan threw out the proceedings against the AFP on the basis that "there is truly no present controversy as between Mr Mentink and the AFP Commissioner".

 

Justice Logan said it may be the case that, "were Mr Mentink ever to receive permission to travel, and be issued with an Australian passport … the AFP Commissioner would seek to communicate information concerning him to the police authorities" in Indonesia.

 

"If that conduct were to occur, and there is reason to think that it might, having regard to past conduct evidence, then a separate controversy may well arise as to whether the AFP Commissioner was lawfully entitled to communicate such information," he said.

 

Justice Logan said "on the face of things" alerting Indonesian authorities would seem to be authorised by Commonwealth law, but said he expressed "no concluded view on that subject".

 

"The point for today is that this is something that may occur in the future. The metes and bounds of the present controversy are confined to the Queensland Police Commissioner’s decision," Justice Logan said.

 

He dismissed the application against the AFP. The proceedings continue against the Queensland Police Commissioner.

Chinese government prepares to charge Australian academic

 

Foreign Minister Marise Payne has blasted Chinese authorities for formally indicting Australian-Chinese man Yang Hengjun on espionage charges, saying his poor health makes him especially vulnerable to the coronavirus.

 

Dr Yang, a former University of Technology, Sydney academic has been imprisoned in China for 14 months.

 

Lawyers for Dr Yang said on Wednesday that their case had been received by the Prosecutor-General's Office on the last day that formal charges could be transferred under China's opaque judicial system.

 

Dr Yang's lawyer, Mo Shaoping, said the office would review the case and would make a decision whether to prosecute in the next six weeks.

 

The Australian citizen and pro-democracy political blogger was detained in January last year and formally arrested by the Beijing State Security Bureau on August 23 on suspicion of endangering Chinese national security. His lawyers say the 54-year-old has been held largely in isolation since. The move to formally lay charges was first reported by the ABC on Tuesday night.

 

Senator Payne, who has repeatedly raised concerns about claims that Dr Yan has been shackled and subjected to daily interrogations, said the Australian government "strongly objected" to the formal indictment in China on suspicion of espionage.

 

"The Australian Government is very disappointed that the Chinese authorities have not yet provided formal advice on Dr Yang’s indictment," she said.

 

"Since his detention over a year ago, the Australian Government has repeatedly expressed its strong concern about the treatment of Dr Yang. Dr Yang’s case continues to be of key interest to the Australian community.

 

"Crises are a time for nations to pull together. It is not in the spirit of mutual respect and trust that our continued advocacy for Dr Yang has not been acknowledged. Dr Yang’s poor health makes him especially vulnerable to COVID-19. In our most recent representations, we appealed for humanitarian considerations to apply to Dr Yang’s situation."

 

The virus that was first detected in China and has since swept the world has further limited already scarce visits to the country's jails and Dr Yang's lawyers fear they may not be able to meet with him in person to prepare his case.

 

In August, Senator Payne told media she had no information to support the accusation that Dr Yang was spying for Australia or any other country.

 

The Chinese government urged Australia not to interfere in the prosecution. A spokesman for the Chinese embassy said Dr Yang was suspected of criminal activities endangering China's national security.

 

"The Chinese relevant authorities are investigating the case in accordance with Chinese law," the spokesman said on Wednesday.

 

"We urge the Australian side to respect China’s judicial sovereignty and refrain from interfering in the legal process in any form."

 

Dr Yang's friend and fellow pro-democracy activist Feng Chongyi said the case was politically motivated.

 

"Any outcome will depend on the political consideration of the Chinese government itself," he said.

 

"There is no evidence whatsoever for them to charge [him] as a spy for Australia or any western government.

 

"This is motivated by two political decisions. One is to silence political dissent and the second is the broader operation to force western governments to back off from the Huawei case.

 

Professor Feng alleged Dr Yang was still being used as political leverage to get Australia to allow Huawei to take part in its 5G network.

 

The Turnbull government banned the Chinese-owned telco from participating in the 5G rollout in 2018 over national security concerns.

Officials ready to help Aussies in US

 

Australian embassy and consulate staff are taking a "no one left behind" approach to helping Australians holed up in North America amid the coronavirus pandemic, Australia's new ambassador to the US Arthur Sinodinos says.

 

New York, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana and other states popular with Australians are under stay-at-home orders in an attempt to limit the spread of the virus.

 

Mr Sinodinos said Australian embassy and consulate staff throughout the US and Canada are geared up to help Australians concerned and anxious about the situation.

 

"Our philosophy is no one left behind," Mr Sinodinos, who officially took over the crucial ambassadorship from Joe Hockey last month, said in a video posted on the Washington DC embassy's Twitter site.

 

"If you're in any doubt, please ask people at the embassy or any of the consulates for assistance."

 

The US has more than 64,000 cases across its 50 states, with at least 898 deaths including 285 in New York.

 

The Australian embassy's Facebook and Twitter sites, along with the Smarttraveller site, offers information including airport options for Australians who want to fly back to Australia.

 

"I never thought when I was taking up this post, we'd be facing the coronavirus crisis that we're facing today and like a lot of you I am anxious about it," Mr Sinodinos, a former federal Industry, Innovation and Science Minister, said.

 

"I'm concerned not only for myself, but for my family and the people I work with.

 

"So I understand that you're concerned and anxious, particularly when you're a long way from home, but our embassy, our consulates throughout North America are geared up to help."

Trump ‘came to appreciate’ Turnbull standing up for Australia

 

Published on 25 Mar 2020

 

President Donald Trump respected former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull for “standing up to him” during an angry phone exchange between the pair, according to Australia’s Ambassador to the US Arthur Sinodinos.

 

Australia’s diplomats scrambled to assess the damage after it was revealed in 2017 President Trump hung up on Mr Turnbull during their first official phone call due to a disagreement over a refugee swap deal between the two nations.

 

The leaked transcript of the call showed President Trump was furious at the “rotten deal”, brokered by the Obama administration, where America would take 1,250 asylum seekers housed on Christmas Island and Nauru.

 

“I think it is ridiculous and Obama should have never signed it. The only reason I will take them is because I have to honour a deal signed by my predecessor and it was a rotten deal,” President Trump said in a transcript released by the White House.

 

“As far as I am concerned that is enough Malcolm. I have had it. I have been making these calls all day and this is the most unpleasant call all day. Putin was a pleasant call. This is ridiculous.” Ambassador Sinodinos told Sky News in the aftermath of the call, President Trump and Mr Turnbull worked “to get the relationship back on an even keel”.

 

“Malcolm deployed all of his advocacy skills with the president, you would have seen a transcript of the phone call, but the fact that Malcolm stood up that way is something the president afterwards came to appreciate.”

 

I think he likes it when people stand up for what they believe in.”

Inside the G20 'Zoom' summit: Scott Morrison is told he needs a 'war plan' to deal with coronavirus pandemic as Australia prepares for more stimulus and offers to help Pacific nations through the crisis

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison and leaders around the world have been told they need a 'war plan' to deal with the coronavirus pandemic during a virtual G20 summit.

 

Australia and other G20 nations struck a deal to coordinate efforts to tackle the crisis, as they collectively pledged $A7.5 trillion to kickstart the global economy.

 

Mr Morrison joined US President Donald Trump, Xi Jinping of China and Russia's Vladimir Putin through a video link-up on Thursday night.

 

The virtual summit was called by Saudi Arabia, which is chairing the forum this year.

 

During the video conference, Australia offered to assist the Pacific region amid the global health crisis.

 

In a communique issued after the meeting, Mr Morrison and other leaders described the pandemic as 'a powerful reminder of our interconnectedness and vulnerabilities'.

 

'This virus respects no borders,' they said.

 

'Combating this pandemic calls for a transparent, robust, coordinated, large-scale and science-based global response in a spirit of solidarity.'

 

G20 finance, health and trade ministers are set to meet in coming weeks to develop specific action plans to deal with the economic and health impacts.

 

China agreed to increase its supply of pharmaceutical ingredients and other supplies to the international market, in a move that will ease shortages in many countries.

 

UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres told the leaders they needed a war-time plan.

 

'It took the world three months to reach 100,000 confirmed cases of infection,' he said.

 

'The next 100,000 happened in just 12 days. The third took four days. The fourth, just one and a half.

 

'This is exponential growth and only the tip of the iceberg.'

 

The Australian Government have spent more than $189 billion in cash and credit on their Federal stimulus package to support businesses and jobs.

 

The National Cabinet will consider further measures to tackle the virus when they meet on Friday.

 

The G20 meeting was not open to the media, but some leaders' statements were issued after it.

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested setting up a special fund under the IMF that would offer interest-free loans, and he emphasised the need to create 'green corridors' for free movement of supplies and technologies intended to deal with the epidemic.

 

He also proposed a moratorium on sanctions with regard to essential goods.

 

International Monetary Fund managing director Kristalina Georgieva asked G20 leaders for their backing to double the fund's $US50 billion ($A84 billion) emergency financing capacity.

 

She said vulnerable households and businesses need targeted financial support to stay afloat and get back to work quickly.

 

The final statement pledged 'bold and large-scale fiscal support'.

 

'We commit to do whatever it takes and to use all available policy tools to minimise the economic and social damage from the pandemic, restore global growth, maintain market stability and strengthen resilience.'

Experts condemn Clive Palmer-funded ads claiming hydroxychloroquine can cure coronavirus

 

Queensland businessman has pledged to fund 1m doses, despite warnings it can lead to heart attacks, eye damage and coma

 

Prominent advertisements paid for by former federal politician Clive Palmer which promote a malaria drug as a potential “cure” for Covid-19 are “ethically immoral” according to Prof Peter Collignon, a former World Health Organization advisor who worked on Australia’s response to the Sars virus.

 

The two-page ad in the Australian states the drug, hydroxychloroquine, when combined with another medication could “wipe out the virus in test tubes”. The ad says Palmer – who has headed several failed businesses and has been hit with criminal charges following an investigation by the corporate regulator – had agreed to personally fund the acquisition or manufacture of 1m doses “to ensure all Australians would have access to the drug as soon as possible”.

 

The ad also quotes the leader of an Australian clinical trial for the drug who describes the combined treatment as a “cure,” even though the trial is yet to begin or receive ethics approval. The ad ran despite the Therapeutic Goods Administration [TGA], which regulates drugs in Australia, warning that the drug and its derivatives “pose well-known serious risks to patients including cardiac toxicity potentially leading to sudden heart attacks, irreversible eye damage and severe depletion of blood sugar potentially leading to coma”.

 

Collignon, an infectious diseases physician in Canberra, said “promoting the drug like this on the current available evidence is a bad idea. He added it was problematic for Palmer to suggest the drug could be bought from other countries, which are already restricting the export of hydroxychloroquine due to shortages for people who need it to treat autoimmune diseases and prevent malaria.

 

“I suspect he will have great trouble doing this,” Collignon said. “We don’t have malaria here but overseas, particularly in developing countries, they rely on this drug for malaria. So if you gobble up all the supplies of chloroquine from overseas based on the dubious possibility of it working for Covid-19 then people will die of malaria.

 

“The idea we can just buy it from other countries and keep it here in case it works is just ethically immoral. Yes we should study these drugs and do that properly with strong clinical trials, but promoting those trials in this way just creates hysteria and hype around a drug that the studies so far suggest is not even effective for Covid-19.”

 

Channel 7 has also promoted Palmer’s involvement. Much of the hype has been generated by a small French study which, although reported by some media, has since been widely disputed, found to have omitted data, and to contain spurious results. A small but well-conducted study from China found no benefit to chloroquine being given to Covid-19 patients.

 

Guardian Australia has contacted Palmer for comment.

 

Prof Lyn Gilbert, the chair of the infection control group guiding Australia’s response to Covid-19, questioned the ethics of accepting money from Palmer for research, given he has described himself as a “vaccine questioner” and has been sued for his business practices including failing to pay staff their entitlements, which he later settled.

 

US president Donald Trump has also been promoting hydroxychloroquine as a Covid-19 treatment, and Palmer has been tweeting Trump’s comments.

 

“People have died from this sort of nonsense,” Gilbert said.

 

“I have fairly extreme views about private support for research, and these are my views only and do not represent everyone’s. But I believe it is difficult to maintain independence and the perception of independence by accepting money like this. I personally wouldn’t accept his money.”

 

Guardian Australia has contacted the University of Queensland, which is leading one of the clinical trials Palmer is promoting, for comment.

 

The Royal Australia College of General Practitioners president Dr Harry Nespolon warned “hdroxychloroquine and chloroquine are not ‘cures’ for Covid-19 and they should not be used to protect patients from the virus until clinical trials are complete and the regulatory authorities have given the all clear”.

 

He said he supported the TGA’s move to place tight new restrictions on who can write prescriptions for the drug following widespread shortages for people who need it to treat autoimmune conditions.

 

Guardian Australia has contacted the TGA for comment on whether Palmer’s ads breach stringent drug advertising rules.

Australian police crack online child exploitation network

 

A 35 year old American man has been arrested and charged in the US over alleged child sex and exploitation material offences after police from the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) identified and tracked the man online.

 

The ACCCE notified Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) after its Covert Online Engagement Team (COET) identified a user from an internet forum based in America allegedly producing and uploading a series of explicit images depicting a young female child.

 

Homeland Security Investigations officers rescued the child victim and arrested the accused at his home in Rushville, Indiana on Friday 27 March, 2020 (AEST).

 

In a separate investigation, the ACCCE COET infiltrated a child sex offender network operating in the dark net that resulted in the interception of 3500 images and video files depicting the sexual exploitation of children.

 

The material was immediately reviewed by the ACCCE Victim Identification Team, resulting in the detection of 60 previously unidentified child victims and the addition of content to 66 separate cases that are being investigated by the global law enforcement community.

 

Australian Federal Police (AFP) Acting Commander ACCCE and Child Protection Paula Hudson said these investigations were another example of Australian law enforcement’s dedication to working alongside its international law enforcement partners to protect children, and ensure those suspected of producing child abuse material were detected and prosecuted.

 

“The consumption, production and dissemination of child abuse material has horrific lifelong impacts on its victims,” she said.

 

“Our commitment to these investigations will not cease despite the challenging circumstances we may face here in Australia and across the globe due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The AFP, together with our state and international partners will continue to work tirelessly to protect the most vulnerable in our community – our children.”

 

“Anyone involved in the consumption, production and dissemination of child abuse material, whether it is in Australia or abroad, be warned, we will find you and you will face severe penalties.”

 

“This has come at critical time,” said Adam Parks, the HSI Attaché to Australia.

 

“More so than ever, children are online for their schooling, to socialise with their friends and family, and to play games. Let this be a warning that law enforcement is undeterred by COVID-19 and remains on-duty to keep our children safe in Australia, the U.S., and online.”

 

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in the possession or sharing of child exploitation material are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Use of the phrase ‘child pornography’ actually benefits child sex abusers:

 

It indicates legitimacy and compliance on the part of the victim, and therefore legality on the part of the abuser;

 

It conjures up images of children posing in ‘provocative’ positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse.

 

Every photograph captures an actual situation where a child has been abused. This is not pornography.

New South Wales woman charged with child exploitation offences

 

A 35-year-old New South Wales woman has been charged with two child abuse offences following an Australian Federal Police (AFP) investigation into allegations the woman was sharing and producing child abuse material featuring a child known to her.

 

The woman was arrested yesterday (26 March 2020) after AFP officers executed a search warrant at the woman’s Armidale property. She is due to face Armidale Local Court today.

 

The investigation into the woman’s online activities began following a report from a member of the public that a woman was using an international encrypted messaging service to share child abuse material of a child known to her, as well as offering the child to strangers to be sexually abused.

 

Enquiries by the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) into the identity of the offender identified a 35-year-old Armidale woman as the alleged user of the encrypted messaging service.

 

During the search warrant police seized a number of items, including an electronic device which will be subject to further forensic examination. The child is now in the care of family.

 

The woman was charged with using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material and producing child abuse material for use through a carriage service, contrary to sections 474.22 and 474.23 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). The maximum penalty for these offences is 15 years imprisonment.

 

AFP Acting Commander ACCCE and Child Protection Operations Paula Hudson said that despite the current COVID-19 crisis the AFP and the ACCCE, as well as state and territory partners, will not lose focus on combatting child exploitation.

 

“Our officers are still working diligently to identify and prosecute those who prey on our children. Our work to put a stop to the sexual exploitation of children, be it online or physical abuse, will not stop for anything.” She said.

 

“Even now as our society grapples with this health crisis, this is a warning to would-be offenders that we are still active and we will still catch you.”

 

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in the possession or sharing of child exploitation material are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Resignations in the news

 

Premier's right-hand man Gavin Jennings resigns

 

One of Daniel Andrews’ closest tactical and factional allies has announced his resignation from the Victorian Parliament after serving more than two decades as an MP.

 

The government’s leader in the upper house, Gavin Jennings, told the Victorian Parliament he had served his final day as he gave his valedictory speech on Thursday afternoon.

 

Mr Jennings was first elected in 1999 to the now-abolished upper house seat of Melbourne Provinces. He has been the south-eastern metropolitan region MP since 2006.

 

The 62-year-old has served on the front bench as a minister for aged care, community services, environment and climate change, innovation and most-recently for Aboriginal affairs.

 

Mr Jennings was regarded as a shrewd parliamentary tactician within Labor circles.

 

He most notably steered the Andrews Labor government’s landmark assisted dying legislation through the upper house, and on Wednesday announced Victoria would finally develop a redress scheme for the stolen generations.

 

Premier Daniel Andrews said the Labor movement was "more confident, more courageous and more compasionate" because of Mr Jennings.

 

"On behalf of our party and Parliament, I'd like to thank Gavin for his unwavering passion, principle and purpose in serving the working people of Victoria," Mr Andrews said in a statement.

Glamorgan Spring Bay Council's general manager has resigned

 

Unions are again calling for an inquiry into Glamorgan Spring Bay Council after the resignation of their general manager.

 

It is understood Chris Schroeder, who has been the general manager since August 2019, resigned after being given an ultimatum by the council to resign or be fired.

 

His resignation now leaves the council without permanent staff in four key management positions.

 

Ian Pearce has been appointed acting general manager, but there is no senior planner, deputy manager or works manager.

 

Australia services union Tasmanian representative Aaron De La Torre said the position of the council was untenable.

 

"We have got many members at the council who are continually expressing concern at the failings of this council, the complete lack of care [and] integrity," he said.

 

"We've got workers off on workers compensation due to stress and anxiety [and] we've got members resigning left right and centre."

 

He said Mr Schroeder had been scapegoated and called on the Local Government Minister to set up an inquiry.

 

"This poor bloke has been hung out to dry and taken all of the blame for anything that has happened in the last 18 months, two years," Mr De La Torre said.

 

"We just beg that [the minister] actually does something this time, we've called for action in the past and it has fallen on deaf ears."

 

In a statement the council said the decision to part ways with Mr Schroeder was mutual and wished him the best.

 

Mayor Debbie Wisby declined to comment further.

Man hands out $100 to every Person Waiting in Line for Welfare

 

Generous Greek Australian Peter Darmos has handed out $100 cash to each one of the hundreds of jobless workers waiting outside the Centrelink office in Melbourne’s Box Hill.

The lawyer entrepreneur from Karies, Laconia, handed out a total of $10,000 because he felt “sick to his stomach” after seeing the queues of people, some of which had never been unemployed in their lives.

“I came here as a six-year-old from a village in Greece and this country has been good to me,” he said, wishing to pay it forward.

He told Neos Kosmos that he would like to see the government “guarantee food, stop evictions, stop mortgages and ensure electricity and gas for all Australians” so that his fellow Australians would be able to show “patience”.

The story got out, but Mr Darmos was not interested in disclosing his identity, preferring instead to be known as John. After some persuasion, he allowed Neos Kosmos to share his real name in the hope that other wealthy Australians to donate cash to those waiting outside Centrelink.

It is not the first time which Mr Darmos has offered money to people in need or spontaneously shared out wads of cash. His heart goes out to people who are suffering and he is moved by the gratitude in their eyes.

Police identify 11 alleged victims in case of immigration agent accused of rape

 

Police have identified 11 additional victims of a Melbourne immigration agent accused of drugging, raping and filming women across the state over seven years.

 

Frank Hu, 34, who ran a string of migration and travel agencies under the name Lakenest Group, allegedly lured many of his victims to his CBD office under the pretense of a job interview.

 

He was initially charged with 13 counts of rape relating to one victim.

 

But court documents released to The Age on Friday show Mr Hu, also known as Xiadong Frank Hu, is now facing 235 separate charges relating to 12 different victims. The crimes are alleged to have occurred between 2013 and 2019.

 

Video and photographic evidence is still being analysed by police.

 

Of the hundreds of charges, 136 relate to a woman who can be identified only as victim one.

 

Police alleged she was repeatedly drugged, raped and sexually assaulted between April 2015 and June 2019.

 

Another woman, known as victim two, was allegedly drugged, raped and sexually assaulted between December 2013 and July 2019 at places including the inner-eastern suburb of Kew.

 

Some of the other victims were allegedly drugged, placing them in danger of death, while others were both drugged and sexually assaulted at places including Mildura, in the state's north west, and Tullamarine.

 

Court documents show that one person, known as victim six, went into cardiac arrest after allegedly being drugged without her consent on July 23, 2019.

 

Mr Hu has also been charged with possessing child abuse material and committing an act of bigamy at Glen Waverly in August 2014.

 

During a brief hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday, Mr Hu expressed, through a Mandarin interpreter, that he was upset the media had reported details of his case after he was unsuccessful in obtaining a suppression order late last year.

 

He said he had since been "assaulted by other prisoners".

 

The court heard Mr Hu's former lawyer had withdrawn from the case.

 

The accused man was warned the prosecution would not consent to adjourning the case further after he appeared without legal representation.

 

Mr Hu was arrested on August 1, 2019, after detectives from Victoria Police's sexual offences child abuse investigation team and Australian Border Force raided properties across Melbourne.

 

A triple zero call about an unconscious woman found in a CBD office tower in July last year sparked the police investigation.

 

The matter is due to return to court in May.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson return to the US after recovering from coronavirus

 

Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson have arrived back home in Los Angeles after both tested positive for coronavirus and spent weeks in isolation in Australia.

 

The actor was seen stretching down to touch the tarmac then doing a celebration dance before entering a terminal after he and Wilson touched down in Los Angeles by private jet. The couple was then photographed driving together, with Hanks behind the wheel of a Range Rover, through LA back to their home.

 

Hanks and Wilson, both 63, were in Australia for the pre-production of Biz Lurhmann’s Elvis Presley film when they revealed earlier this month they had tested positive for the virus.

 

They were briefly hospitalized before being released into isolation at an undisclosed Australian residence. And he had tweeted this week that they were both feeling better before jetting back home.

 

Hanks shared multiple updates on Twitter during the ordeal to remind his followers of the importance of self-quarantine to stem the pandemic.

 

“Sheltering in place works like this: You don’t give it to anyone – You don’t get it from anyone. Common sense, no?” Hanks wrote.

 

He added: “Going to take a while, but if we take care of each other, help where we can, and give up some comforts…this, too, shall pass. We can figure this out.”

 

Earlier this week he revealed on social media that he and Wilson were starting to feel better, two weeks after testing positive with the virus, while she shared her quarantine playlist with fans.

 

It is not yet known if the couple tested negative before returning to the US. A rep for Hanks didn’t immediately get back to us

Accused paedophile Charles Batham arrested amid coronavirus chaos in Italy

 

An accused paedophile from Australia has been arrested amid the coronavirus lockdowns in Italy nine years after being charged, and following an ABC investigation that discovered him living in a seaside resort town.

 

Charles Batham left the country in 2011 after West Australian police charged him with 31 child sex offences, which he has always denied.

 

An ABC story published in February resulted in a flurry of fresh information and sightings, prompting police to restart their mothballed efforts to find him.

 

Mr Batham was this month found living in the picturesque town of Caorle, north-east of Venice, with Italian police this week arresting the 75-year-old at the request of Australian authorities.

 

In a statement, the Australian Attorney-General's Department confirmed the arrest but would not comment on the timeline for Mr Batham to be extradited.

 

"We understand that Mr Batham is in custody in Italy in response to an Australian request … he is wanted for prosecution in Western Australia for alleged child sexual offences," the statement said.

 

"As the matter is ongoing, it would not be appropriate to comment further."

 

Shock phone call

 

One of Mr Batham's alleged victims, who claims she was molested as a young girl while living in Broome, said she was shocked to hear of the arrest.

 

"The police phoned me and I was really surprised," she said.

 

"There's still a long way to go, but it's better than the limbo I was living in before.

 

"It sounds like it could take quite a while to get him back to Australia, especially with everything going down with coronavirus over there, but I'm really hoping that it will happen.

 

"To be honest, I thought he'd die from coronavirus before [an arrest]."

 

Mr Batham is yet to face the charges in court and has denied the allegations to friends and colleagues.

 

The case went silent

 

The ABC story prompted more than a dozen people from across Australia and Europe to provide details of Mr Batham's life before and after his decade running a tourism business in Broome.

 

It was during this time that he allegedly raped and made indecent recordings of young girls and was charged by police.

 

The charges included 11 counts of indecently recording a child under 13, and six counts of sexual penetration of a child under 13.

 

Mr Batham broke bail and took a commercial flight to Malaysia without being detained by authorities, a situation slammed by victims' advocates.

 

For nine years the case went silent, with no public appeals for information about Mr Batham's whereabouts, despite Interpol issuing a Red Notice for his arrest.

 

The ABC report revealed Mr Batham, who had joint British and Australian citizenship, was issued in 2014 with a fresh passport under a different name in the United Kingdom.

 

Fresh photos emerge

 

It appears Mr Batham has been living a relaxed and open lifestyle in Europe.

 

A source in Turkey, who asked to remain anonymous, provided the ABC with the first photographs of Mr Batham since he left Australia.

 

He was pictured chatting and laughing at a social gathering.

 

Another man, who asked not to be identified, reported that Mr Batham stayed in a villa he owned in Turkey in 2013 and 2014.

 

The man said he was "disgusted" to learn that a person facing child sex charges stayed at his villa, as his young son had been living near the property as well.

 

The ABC can reveal that WA police were made aware of Mr Batham's location in Turkey during this period and had arrest papers issued, but he had left the country before an arrest was made.

 

Coronavirus causes extradition delays

 

Australian authorities now face a lengthy court process to bring Mr Batham to Australia, a process complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Travel bans mean WA police cannot travel to Italy to oversee the process, nor can Mr Batham be brought into the country.

 

Former Victorian police officer Glen Hulley runs the child protection charity Project Karma, and has been involved in similar extradition attempts.

 

He said there would be a lengthy court process before the charges could be tested in an Australian court.

COVID-19: General Raymond Says No Impact On Space Ops; Space Fence Operational

 

WASHINGTON: Gen. Jay Raymond said today the COVID-19 pandemic has had no affect on Space Command/Space Force readiness and US space capabilities, so far.

 

As proof, he rattled off a long list of Space Force achievements as its 100-day anniversary approaches, including yesterday’s successful launch of the final Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite for classified military communications and the fact that Space Fence situational awareness radar is being declared operational today.

 

Raymond, who is double-hatted as commander of both Space Command and Space Force, told reporters this morning that only three cases of the virus have been confirmed among the space cadre, all in Colorado Springs.

 

The general stressed that he personally has done “scrubs” of all mission areas in order to ensure proper safety measures are in place to protect readiness at the five main space-related bases in the US, as well as at operations centers around the globe. The prevention measures include prescreening GPS mission crews for elevated temperatures, and ensuring that back-up crews are isolated prior to deployment.

 

Space operations in the US are concentrated at Peterson, Schriever and Buckley Air Force bases in Colorado; Patrick AFB at Cape Canaveral, Florida; and Vandenberg AFB in California. Raymond said these facilities will be redesignated as Space Force bases but said their renaming ceremonies have, understandably, been postponed.

 

In response to a reporter’s (perhaps tongue in cheek?) question, Raymond noted that the famous ‘Area 51’ — the highly-classified Groom Lake facility at the Nevada Test and Training Range at the locus of many conspiracy theories surrounding the existence of extraterrestrial beings — is not being designated as a Space Force base.

 

Yesterday’s AEHF launch, on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, completes the constellation, which provides highly-encrypted, radiation-hardened communications up to the strategic level — including ensuring that in the event of a nuclear attack, the president and top military commanders remain connected. AEHF also provides secure communications for international program partners Canada, the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Australia.

 

The Space Fence, located on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, is a solid-state S-band radar system that can track space objects smaller than 10cm in diameter (the size of a softball) primarily in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). It can also track satellites and debris up to Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO, 36,000 kilometers in altitude) but with less accuracy. Built by prime contractor Lockheed Martin, it is expected to significantly improve the capabilities of DoD’s current Space Surveillance Network (SSN) of radar and optical telescopes.

 

Raymond added that another important addition to the US SSN, the Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) now relocated to Australia, recently achieved its “first light” in its new home. The 3.5 meter SST, to be operated by Australia’s Royal Australian Air Force and the US Space Force’s 21st Space Wing, will provide space surveillance capability over the under-covered Southern Hemisphere.

 

The SST was originally developed by DARPA, which transferred it to the Air Force in 2016 at its White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Under a 2013 agreement, the US and Australia agreed to re-locate the telescope to Harold E. Holt Naval Communications Station in Western Australia.

Fears of blood shortages as donations drop during coronavirus

 

Australia’s blood supply could face critical shortages if donations continue to fall as more people stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus.

 

The Australian Red Cross Lifeblood service is currently getting about 800 cancellations a day – roughly 100 more cancellations than this time last year – and needs at least 7100 people to donate in the next two weeks to help boost stocks for hospitals around the country.

 

The decline is largely the result of existing and prospective donors socially distancing themselves as the nation battles the pandemic.

 

But some fear this could lead to a secondary health crisis, given the number of patients who rely on blood – including road trauma victims and mothers with childbirth complications – and the low shelf life of blood products. Platelets, for example, are essential for cancer patients but only have a shelf life of five days, while red cells last for 40 days but are often snapped up much sooner.

 

Concerns have already emerged in the US, where the American Red Cross last week tweeted: “We now face a severe blood shortage due to the unprecedented number of blood drive cancellations during this coronavirus outbreak.”

 

Asked if Australia was also at risk of a shortage, a spokesman from the federal government’s health department conceded that Lifeblood needed more donors “to keep blood flowing to patients across Australia.”

 

“Donor centres are safe, social distancing arrangements are in place and this critically important activity must continue,” the spokesman told The Sunday Age.

 

Fears surrounding Australia's blood supply emerged as much of the country was forced to shut down last week in a bid to stop the spread of COVID-19.

 

Travel bans are now in place, high risk venues such as restaurants, clubs and gyms have closed, and non-essential gatherings have been discouraged, although it is not clear how long these restrictions will last.

 

The virus has also had consequences on the health system, with non-urgent elective surgery, kidney transplants and fertility procedures now suspended in order to free up hospital beds and health workers.

 

Lifeblood chief executive Shelly Park said the blood service would continue to operate with strict screening protocols preventing anyone who is unwell from donating, and additional hygiene measures to protect donors and staff.

 

While there is no evidence to suggest coronavirus is transmissible by blood transfusion, anyone who has had the virus will be banned from donating for at least three months.

 

A 28-day postponement period for anyone who has returned from overseas or has been in contact with someone who has coronavirus has also been introduced.

 

“There are still patients in hospital who will need blood over the coming weeks and months whether it be those involved in road accidents, those undergoing emergency surgery or receiving treatment for cancer, even mums experiencing complications during childbirth,” Ms Park said.

 

“They are relying on people to continue making these generous donations.”

 

Australia’s blood supply is managed and coordinated by the National Blood Authority, a statutory agency working out of the federal government's health portfolio.

 

The agency did not respond to questions from The Sunday Age, but a yet-to-be-activated contingency plan exists to ensure the safety and security of blood and blood products.

 

Ms Park said the agency occasionally faced periodic shortages due to flu and colds, but she was confident Lifeblood could reach its targets through the generosity of donors. Since March 17, when Lifeblood put out a statement calling for more people to give blood, about 4000 people had come forward. Thousands more were needed, including over the Easter break.

 

“It is worth noting that there are currently 500,000 people in Australia who donate blood, but we know that there are millions more who may be eligible to donate and we would encourage them to make an appointment if eligible,” Ms Park said.

From General 11015

 

Astonishing breach of faith': Private hospital company stands down 800 staff

Frantic negotiations are underway to save more hospitals from closing and ensure tens of thousands of beds could be used to treat coronavirus patients.

Private hospital company Healthe Care has already stood down 800 staff and is putting in doubt 8000 beds at 34 private hospitals across Australia after the federal government cancelled elective surgeries in response to the COVID-19 spread.

In a letter to staff, a copy seen by 9News, Healthe Care stated that the availability of private hospitals is at risk. It is now putting the pressure on state and federal governments for financial help.

Chinese billionaire Liu Dian Bo bought Healthe Care for $900 million in 2015. Now, the company, which 9News understands was already facing financial pressure, is putting the heat on federal and state government for help.

"We have received no firm proposals," the company's letter to staff said.

"Regrettably, this has driven us to these immediate actions."

Other private hospitals are threatening to follow suit.

"We need it to be solved by the end of this weekend or hospitals will start to close," Australian Private Hospitals Association Michael Roff told 9News.

Ramsay Health Care has 25,000 beds at 72 private hospitals and is now sending staff on leave.

Healthscope has 4400 beds at 43 hospitals.

States and territories responsible for their hospital systems are now locked in crisis talks to keep doors open. The federal government is involved too.

"The important thing is that we keep beds open, particularly ICU beds," Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack told 9News.

Governments could temporarily acquire beds or pay nurses allowing them to be on hand when they might be needed more than ever.

Health Minister Greg Hunt told 9News sacking nurses during this crisis "is an astonishing breach of faith".

The national cabinet is expected to sign off on a deal regarding private hospital beds tomorrow.

Man reports woman to AFP after she offers child for sexual abuse over Whatsapp

 

An overseas man has reported a NSW woman to federal police after she allegedly sent unsolicited child sexual abuse material and offered a child for sex over a WhatsApp message thread.

 

The 35-year-old woman was arrested at her Armidale property on Thursday, after the man lodged a tip with the Australian Federal Police. It stated that the two were engaged in an ongoing conversation on the encrypted messaging platform when the woman allegedly sent the man child abuse material, before offering the same child to the man for sexual abuse.

 

The woman was subsequently charged with using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material and producing child abuse material for use through a carriage service.

 

She did not apply for bail at Armidale Local Court on Friday, however bail was formally refused. She will next appear at the same court on April 8.

 

The child, who was known to the woman, is now in the care of family. Neither can be identified for legal reasons.

 

AFP officers launched an investigation into the woman after receiving the report from the man via the AFP's online "Report Abuse" portal.

 

Information gathered from the report was then investigated by the Australia Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE), eventually leading to the woman's arrest.

 

AFP Acting Commander ACCCE and Child Protection Operations Paula Hudson said while it was "unusual" to see a woman charged with such an offence, the case highlighted "the broad societal appeal of child exploitation material".

 

She said AFP officers would continue to investigate the motive behind the man's decision to report to police. However it is understood he is not being treated as a suspect at this time.

 

"We do know who the person is … who received the imagery. They decided that it breached their moral code and they reported it," she said.

 

She said there was no evidence of financial benefit to the woman for allegedly sending the material.

 

Police conducted an early morning raid at the woman's property on Thursday, seizing an electronic device which will now be forensically examined.

 

Acting Commander Hudson said federal police were even more "hyper-vigilant" than usual in targeting online child exploitation in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis and the corresponding social restrictions.

 

"We are definitely concerned about the environmental factors. More adults and children not being out, but at home and spending more time online," she said. "It could make the perfect recipe for an increase [in child exploitation]. We are hyper-vigilant to that. And that's why we are not taking resources away or our eye off the ball."

 

She urged parents to regularly talk to children about their online activities and to make themselves aware of the apps and websites they use.

 

"Look at [apps] together. It's important to make children feel comfortable and that they can approach and trust you."

Brisbane man in Court for child exploitation allegations

 

The Queensland Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team (QLD JACET) has charged a 38-year-old Brisbane man following an investigation into the alleged possession of child abuse material.

 

The man is due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning (Monday, 30 March) to answer these charges.

 

Australian Federal Police (AFP) QLD JACET investigators began inquiries into the man’s online activities after the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) received a referral from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

 

On 12 March 2020, members of the QLD JACET and AFP Digital Forensics Team executed a search warrant at a home in the Brisbane suburb of Eagleby.

 

During a search of the home, investigators seized two mobile phones, a hard drive and four USBs which allegedly contained child abuse material.

 

The man has been charged with seven offences, including:

 

  • Six counts of knowingly possessing child exploitation material, contrary to section 228D of the Criminal Code Act 1899 (Qld).

 

  • One count of using a carriage service to make available child pornography material contrary to section 474.19(1)(a)(iii) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth).

 

The maximum penalty for these offences is 14 years imprisonment and 15 years imprisonment (respectively).

 

AFP Assistant Commissioner Northern Command Lesa Gale said investigating offences against children online remains a priority for law enforcement, even in times of global disruption.

 

“The AFP, through the ACCCE, and our international partners continue to work tirelessly to halt the spread of child abuse material,” she said.

 

“Anyone who thinks they can use the current situation to avoid detection is wrong.

 

“This arrest shows our dedication to fighting child sexual abuse and bringing those who commit these offences before the court.

 

“The ACCCE will continue to provide critical support to JACETs and non-government organisations to combat online child exploitation. This work is a priority and will not stop.”

 

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in the possession or sharing of child exploitation material are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

''Note to media:''

 

USE OF TERMS ‘CHILD ABUSE’, NOT ‘CHILD PORNOGRAPHY’

 

Use of the phrase “child pornography” benefits child sex abusers because it:

 

* indicates legitimacy and compliance on the part of the victim and therefore legality on the part of the abuser; and

 

* conjures images of children posing in ‘provocative’ positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse.

 

Every photograph captures an actual situation where a child has been abused. This is not “pornography”.

WTF is going on here?

Pell accuser knowedge of sacristy under scrutiny

30 Mar 2020

"Cardinal George Pell's accuser claimed to be familiar with the layout of a renovated sacristy and this fact means we have a crucial experiment for the truth of his claims. This important insight has not been apprehended even by those who have studied the affair most closely."

"That's an astonishing claim that I hope to make plausible by examining the rulings in the intermediate court. However, the point I want to make here is that only if we understand this point will we have a clue as to why the jury made its perverse judgement in finding Pell guilty of the crimes alleged against him. There are three claims here and I will take them in turn beginning with the idea of a crucial experiment."

How Anita Cobby's loathed killers could be released from jail alongside a string of Australia's worst criminals under a radical plan to change the meaning of 'life behind bars'

 

Four men who brutally raped and murdered a nurse and beauty queen in a crime that shocked Australia could be released early from prison.

 

Anita Cobby, 26, was found naked in a field in western Sydney after she was grabbed while walking home from Blacktown station and then beaten, raped and had her throat cut by brothers Leslie, then 22, Gary, 28, and Michael Murphy, 33, and John Travers, 18, and Michael Murdoch, 19.

 

They were all found guilty of murder. Michael Murphy died last year and the remaining four are serving a life sentence.

 

But the NSW Bar Association has backed a plan that could turn the definition of a life sentence on its head and allow Ms Cobby's four surviving killers to seek leniency, The Daily Telegraph reported.

 

Offenders once considered unquestioningly violent and dangerous could be released after 'imprisonment, counselling and simple maturing', according to the lawyers' body.

 

Under the proposed changes, Allan Baker, now 71, and Kevin Crump, 69, who tortured and murdered young mother-of-three Virginia Morse in 1973 could also apply to have their life sentences reassessed.

 

Ms Morse was abducted from her family's property in Collarenebri in north-west NSW and tortured for 22 hours.

 

Details of her ordeal have never been released but one report said she was shot in both eyes before her body was dumped in a river.

 

The pair have been in jail for 46 years.

 

The NSW Sentencing Council are reviewing the proposed changes after the release of serial paedophile Michael Guider in September last year caused public outcry.

 

Guider pleaded guilty to kidnapping and killing nine-year-old Samantha Knight in 1986, along with 60 other child offences.

 

He was released from jail even though never revealed the location of Samantha's body.

 

The lawyers' body said the popular idea that sentences for murder and manslaughter are not tough enough is a 'misconception'.

 

Legal Aid NSW also backed the motion to allow people serving life sentences to have their situation redetermined.

 

The two bodies put in submissions for non-parole periods to be implemented for murderers who have been jailed for life - giving them the opportunity to be released.

 

'The crushing nature of a natural term life sentence with no prospect of release from prison has been long recognised, particularly for young offenders who given the general rate of life expectancy could potentially spend 50 years or more in prison,' the Bar Association said in the submission.

 

It also said 'predicting future dangerousness' of a criminal is 'notoriously difficult' and should be reassessed in the future.

 

If passed, the submission would cover all 49 life sentences currently being served in the state.

 

Legal Aid NSW said families of victims would need support and assistance to properly understand the re-determination process.

 

Samantha Knight's mother Tess wrote in the submission: 'The only way a convicted killer can satisfy their debt to society is for society to ensure no other person is ever exposed to the risk of being killed by a convicted murderer.'

 

Submissions have closed the the Sentencing Council is preparing its recommendation.

DUKE'S DEFENDER Fergie says online trolls blasting Prince Andrew over paedo shame should show more ‘respect’

 

FERGIE has called for social media users blasting Prince Andrew over his paedo shame to show more “respect”.

 

The Duchess of York, 60, branded the forums “a sewer” after her ex was attacked over his friendship with child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

 

She said: “People say things they wouldn’t dream of saying face-to-face. I feel very strongly about the importance of good manners and respect.

 

“Trolling online is vicious and hurtful. We have to stand against it.

 

“Let’s all try to treat each other a little more gently and be kinder. Let’s all try to think before we post.

 

“Before starting an argument online, take a deep breath and try to respect someone else’s position.

 

“Where we see others behaving unacceptably, let’s call it out.

 

“It’s an old motto but a good one - if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

 

Epstein, 66, killed himself in New York last year awaiting trial on charges of trafficking young women for sex.

 

Victim Virginia Roberts, 36, has said she was forced to have sex with Andrew, 60, three times when she was a teenager.

 

Andrew, 60, has repeatedly denied the claims and in his disastrous BBC interview with Newsnight's Emily Maitlis said: “I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.”

 

The chat destroyed his reputation and forced him to withdraw from royal life - and sparked an avalanche of criticism and mockery online.

 

But ex-wife Fergie, 60, has stood by him along with daughters Eugenie, 30, and 31-year-old Beatrice, who has been forced to scale down plans for a lavish wedding in May owing to coronavirus.

Westpac still some way off settlement with AUSTRAC, court hears

 

Money-laundering regulator AUSTRAC and Westpac say they are still a way apart in their settlement negotiations despite the court expecting a trial into the bank's alleged breaches to be heard by summer.

 

The Federal Court on Monday heard AUSTRAC and Westpac are moving towards a settlement that includes some admissions by the bank over its alleged breaches of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism (AML/CTF) laws.

 

AUSTRAC has accused Westpac of more than 23 million breaches of its obligations under the AML/CTF legislation, including that it did not detect money transfers indicative of child exploitation activities.

 

The regulator and the bank have been in mediation for some time and that mediation remains ongoing, Chief Justice James Allsop said at Monday’s hearing.

 

The court ordered the regulator and Westpac to produce a partial statement of agreed facts and admissions, despite protests by AUSTRAC.

 

AUSTRAC counsel Simon White SC pushed back against Westpac’s request saying: "Here we have neither an agreed penalty nor do we have agreement on various matters which remain in dispute."

 

Mr White told the court some of the information produced by Westpac in its reports to AUSTRAC had been forwarded on to other commonwealth agencies which were now investigating any breaches of the law by Westpac's customers.

 

"That is a matter relevant to penalty,” Mr White said.

 

However, counsel for Westpac, John Sheahan QC told the court there is a large body of underlying primary factual material that the bank and regulator could agree to.

 

“A lot of work has been done towards such an agreement.”

 

Chief Justice Allsop in finding in favour of Westpac's request had a warning for both parties that appeared to expect the case to be heard in 15 months.

 

"The parties should not assume that it will be winter 2021 when this case is on for hearing, they should assume something more like summer 2020-21."

Australian flight attendant jailed for abuse of children overseas

 

A 52 year old Melbourne man has been sentenced to 18 and a half years’ imprisonment today (Monday 30 March, 2020), after sexually abusing children in the Philippines.

 

The Victorian Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (JACET) executed a search warrant at the man’s property in Truganina on 15 June, 2017, and later charged the man in relation to 35 serious child sex and exploitation offences.

 

The offender, who was employed as an international flight attendant with a commercial airline, travelled to the Philippines on a regular basis in both private and professional capacities and offended on 25 separate occasions over a seven year period (between 2010 – 2017).

 

The JACET identified 26 female child victims in the Philippines aged between 12 and 17 years old as a result of the investigation and utilised the AFP International Network to engage with the Philippine National Police (PNP) to locate victims for welfare purposes.

 

The man pleaded guilty to the following offences in Melbourne’s Magistrates Court on 20 February, 2020:

 

  • Three charges of Persistent Sexual Abuse of a child under 16 outside of Australia - 272.11(1) Criminal Code (Cth) 1995;

 

  • Seven charges of Engage in sexual intercourse with a child under 16 outside of Australia 272.8(1) Criminal Code (Cth) 1995;

 

  • 12 charges of Production child pornography material outside of Australia - Section 273.5(1)(a)(ii) Criminal Code (Cth) 1995;

 

  • Eight charges of Encourage to procure a child to engage in sexual activity outside of Australia (section 272.14(1) - Section 272.19(1) Criminal Code (Cth) 1995;

 

  • Three charges of Procure a child for sexual activity outside of Australia - 272.14 Criminal Code (Cth) 1995;

 

  • One charge of Importation child pornography material - Section 233BAB(5) Customs Act (Cth) 1901; and

 

  • One charge of Possess Child Pornography Material - 70(1) Crimes Act 1958 (Vic) (currently superseded)

 

The offender was sentenced to 18 and a half years’ imprisonment with a minimum parole period of 14 years.

 

AFP Assistant Commissioner Northern Command Lesa Gale said offences against children are increasing and international borders are no hindrance to predators.

 

“Commonwealth authorities are dedicated to fighting child sexual exploitation both abroad and at home and bringing those who commit these offences to justice,” she said.

 

The CDPP’s Deputy Director responsible for Human Exploitation and Border Protection, Mark de Crespigny, said the successful prosecution outcome was indicative of strong working relationships between partner agencies.

 

“The work the AFP and our other partner agencies do in investigating the sexual exploitation of children is to be commended,” he said.

 

“The CDPP is committed to prosecuting those who sexually abuse children to the full extent possible.”

 

The Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team is comprised of investigators from the Australian Federal Police and Victoria Police targeting the national and international influence of child sexual exploitation offences.

 

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in the possession or sharing of child exploitation material are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Australia's richest man to spend $1million funding the trial of two drugs that may treat COVID-19 - as he issues a 'call to arms' to the nation's wealthy to fund the fight against the virus

 

Australia's richest man Anthony Pratt has donated $1million to fund the trial of two drugs that may help patients suffering from COVID-19.

 

The drugs, used in the treatment of HIV and arthritis, will be trialled by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity at the University of Melbourne on Monday, The Australian reported.

 

Mr Pratt, who is the billionaire chairman of packaging companies Visy Industries and Pratt Industries, also issued 'a call to arms' to Australia's wealthiest to join the fight against COVID-19, as the number of confirmed cases hit 4,514.

 

'Bushfires unfortunately happen every year but this is a one-in-100-year event, so this is a call to arms for people to contribute more now,' he said.

 

'We are hoping for a silver-bullet solution. We need to do something, and preferably something within 60 days.

 

The Melbourne businessman, who has an estimated fortune of $16.95billion, said people who can help should step up in this situation.

 

Doherty Institute director Sharon Lewin said the trial involves the HIV drug Kaletra and arthritis drug ­Hydroxychloroquine.

 

The trial involves giving patients, who are in hospital but not intensive care, the two drugs and monitoring their condition with those who were not given drugs.

 

The 60-day trial would take place in 60 hospitals in Australia and New Zealand, involving 2,440 people and costing $6.7million.

 

The donation from Mr Pratt brings the total to to $3million.

 

'What is unprecedented is we are talking about making this available to all Australians if possible, but it needs to be studied and the only way to do that is in a larger study,' Professor Lewin said.

 

He said it can take months to get funding from the government for medical trials, highlighting the importance of philanthropy in moving the process along.

 

Mr Pratt's donation comes after Doherty Institute scientists grew coronavirus in a high-security lab in January after taking a sample from a man who was diagnosed with the infection.

 

They were the second lab to grow the virus after one in China was able to cultivate it.

 

Mining billionaire Clive Palmer also donated $1million to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital’s Coronavirus Action Fund.

Australia rolls out COVID-19 vaccine trial for healthcare workers

 

Australia will roll out a randomized clinical trial of a vaccine aimed at protecting healthcare workers from the COVID-19 coronavirus, Melbourne researchers announced on Wednesday.

 

Professor Kathryn North AC, Director of the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, announced its infectious disease researchers are preparing to roll-out a multi-centre randomised controlled clinical trial of the BCG vaccine against COVID-19.

 

Director-General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom, who has called for global support and assistance in the fight against COVID-19, has endorsed the trial.

 

“Australian medical researchers have a reputation for conducting rigorous, innovative trials,” Professor North said. “This trial will allow the vaccine’s effectiveness against COVID-19 symptoms to be properly tested, and may help save the lives of our heroic frontline healthcare workers.”

 

The BRACE trial Led by Professor Nigel Curtis, a clinician-scientist who leads MCRI’s Infectious Diseases Research Group, builds on previous studies which showed that BCG reduces the level of virus when people are infected with similar viruses to SARS-CoV-2.

 

“We hope to see a reduction in the prevalence and severity of COVID-19 symptoms in healthcare workers receiving the BCG vaccination,” Professor Curtis said “We aim to enroll 4000 healthcare workers from hospitals around Australia, including the Melbourne Campus’ Royal Children’s Hospital to allow us to accurately say whether it can lessen the severity of COVID-19 symptoms. And we need to enrol them in the coming weeks, so the clock is definitely ticking.”

 

Originally developed against tuberculosis, and still given to over 130 million babies annually for that purpose, BCG boosts humans’ ‘frontline’ immunity, training it to respond to germs with greater intensity.

 

The researchers hope this improved ‘innate’ immunity will provide crucial time to develop and importantly, validate, a specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

 

There are currently no vaccines or other proven preventative therapeutic interventions available to protect health care workers at the frontline exposed to the COVID19 virus.

 

The proposed trial is based on an existing MCRI trial, which has allowed rapid but thorough human ethics approvals, and involves sites across Australia. The first sites to be announced are The Royal Children’s Hospital and Monash Medical Centre. More sites are expected to be announced in coming days.

 

“The Federal and State Health Departments, together with Australian and international philanthropists, have shown a willingness and capacity to step up to fund a number of COVID-19 related trials,” Professor North said. “Using rapidly sourced and immediately deployable funds, we will be relentless in our pursuit of preventions and treatments for this unprecedented pandemic. These trials will allow the rapid advancement of the most promising candidates to clinical practice, giving us the most number of shots on goal against COVID-19 as possible.”

 

Australia has reported 4,245 COVID-19 cases as of March 30, 2020, 19:00 GMT, with 18 fatalities.

 

There are 770,165 confirmed cases of the Wuhan coronavirus globally, with an official death toll of 36,938.

BCG vaccination to Reduce the impact of COVID-19 in Australian healthcare workers following Coronavirus Exposure (BRACE) Trial

 

What is BRACE?

 

Healthcare workers are at increased risk of contracting COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2. Currently, there are no vaccines or proven preventative interventions available to protect healthcare workers.

 

The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is designed to protect against tuberculosis (TB). However it also boosts immunity to protect against other infections. The purpose of the BRACE trial is to find out whether BCG vaccination protects against COVID-19 or reduces severity or COVID-19 in Australian healthcare workers.

 

…..

 

Project Details

 

Healthcare workers are at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 pandemic. There is currently no vaccine for COVID-19, so protection of health care workers relies on the use of personal protective equipment. When healthcare workers are sick and unable to come to work, this puts extra pressure on the healthcare system.

 

The results of this trial will help us find out whether, in future novel viral outbreaks, BCG vaccination could be used as an early intervention to protect healthcare workers and other high-risk groups.

 

This project is a collaboration between our Campus Partners MCRI, Melbourne University and the Royal Children's Hospital.

Scott Morrison prays for Australia and commits nation to God amid coronavirus crisis

 

The prime minister offers a prayer for the national cabinet and says his faith gives him ‘enormous encouragement’

 

Scott Morrison has offered a prayer for the national cabinet to stay “strong and united” and committed the Australian nation to God during times of “great need and suffering” as it responds to Covid-19.

 

The prayer is contained in a video, first published by Eternity News but later removed and republished by Queensland Parents for Secular State Schools, in which Morrison explains his faith gives him “enormous encouragement” in how to respond to the crisis.

 

Morrison, Australia’s first evangelical Christian prime minister, has made no secret of his religious faith, referring to his re-election in 2019 as a “miracle”. Many other former prime ministers, including Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and Kevin Rudd, identify as Christians.

 

On 23 March Morrison called for Australians of faith to pray as parliament reconvened to pass the second tranche of fiscal support for those harmed by the economic effects of Covid-19 shutdowns.

 

But glimpses of Morrison’s personal practice of Christianity are rarer, such as his decision to invite cameras into Horizon church at Easter in 2019.

 

In the video, which appears to be filmed in his prime ministerial office, Morrison thanked people for their prayers and described the world as “largely in trauma … with the scale and pace of what is unfolding – this is incomprehensible, even just a month ago, what we’re seeing today”.

 

“Pray for the premiers and chief ministers, they’ve joined me in a national cabinet – which is unprecedented for Australia,” he said.

 

“It is a moment like when Moses looked out at the sea and held up his staff … there are moments of great faith in this.

 

“But as a prime minister I have to take my decisions based on very strong advice and exercise the best judgment I can.

 

“And my faith gives me an enormous encouragement in how I can make those decisions and try and do that in the best way I can.”

 

Morrison then shares biblical verses from Psalms about God delivering the righteous from troubles and from Isaiah that the Lord “will guide you always” and “will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land”.

 

“Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins – that’s a prophecy over our country, I believe – and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called repairer of broken walls, and a restorer of streets with dwellings.

 

“I pray that we will be a restorer of streets, with people in them, businesses open again, Australians going about their lives again, returning to their jobs, returning to their livelihoods, returning to normal times in our schools so children can learn and that we can get to the other side of this.”

 

Morrison offers a prayer that begins “heavenly father, we just commit our nation to you in this terrible time of great need and suffering of so many people”.

 

“And we do this also for the entire world – in places far from this country there are people suffering even more, going through tremendous hardship, crying out.”

 

Morrison also prays for “colleagues in parliamentary roles, it doesn’t matter what party they’re from”, ministers in his cabinet, and again for the premiers and chief ministers.

 

“Pray that you’ll keep the national cabinet strong and united, and we may be able to face each day and each challenge with unity and purpose.”

 

Bishop Phillip Huggins, the National Council of Churches Australia president, told Guardian Australia: “The prime minister says he’s a person of faith – therefore he prays.

 

“He’s just being true to himself – likewise – the prayer we’re asking people to share is consistent with our tradition.”

 

The NCCA prayer asks worshippers to pray for “those in need of healing” and the “Holy Spirit’s discernment amidst the many choices and decisions facing our national, community and medical leaders”.

 

Martyn Iles, the Australian Christian Lobby managing director, said it was “refreshing to see a prime minister with the humility to consider and pray for others in the midst of crisis”.

 

“Alongside his emphasis on practical measures, it demonstrates good leadership,” he said.

Thousands? They’re saying more than a million, many of whom never had birth certificates or social security cards. They were bred to be abused.

'Twiggy' Forrest's $160m China deal to bring lifesaving supplies to Australia

Billionaire Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest's Minderoo Foundation has put $160 million towards a partnership with Fortescue Metals Group and the Chinese government to bring crucial life-saving medical supplies and equipment to Western Australia, and ramp up COVID-19 testing across the state.

Dr Forrest said today the first plane-load of supplies was leaving Shanghai in China today and will touch down in Perth after a 10-hour flight.

Aiming to resolve Australia's extreme shortage of PPE (personal protective equipment), two more flights are due to arrive on Friday and Saturday this week.

45 Million Slaves, Says Andrew Forrest’s Global Slavery Index

Australian billionaire and Christian philanthropist Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest is making a William Wilberforce-like effort to end modern day slavery, by calling nations to account for their actions.

This week he released the 2016 version of his annual Global Slavery Index, a name-and-shame style list of the countries that are performing best and worst when it comes to human trafficking, slave labour, sex slavery and child marriage. It shows that over 45 million people are trapped in modern day slavery, with North Korea, Uzbekistan and Cambodia having the highest proportions of slavery by per head of population.

Countries working hardest to reduce it, however, including the Netherlands, USA and UK, and Australia. Surprisingly though, Australians have an estimated 4,300 people in their midst, in modern-day slavery situations.

But it won't work. The Cabal is in a panic and they are fading fast. This will end in the undoing of an evil that has ruled this world for millennia. Australia is just the belly of the beast.

Two new accusers say George Pell abused them when they were boys in the 1970s

 

For decades, 53-year-old Bernie* kept the secrets of his childhood deeply buried.

 

As a boy growing up in a Ballarat orphanage in the 1970s, Bernie told the ABC's Revelation program that he was abused on multiple occasions by George Pell, then a priest in the diocese of Ballarat.

 

For years Bernie was convinced that if he reported the abuse, he would not be believed.

 

"I would hear Pell's become Bishop," Bernie says.

 

"Pell's become Archbishop. Pell's become a Cardinal. Who's gonna believe a little boy from a home against that conglomerate? You know against that bloody goliath?"

 

This is the first time Bernie has told his story publicly, but in March 2016, Victoria Police contacted Bernie as part of a wide-ranging investigation of historical sexual abuse allegations against Pell.

 

That investigation led to Pell's conviction on charges of abusing two choir boys in Melbourne's St Patrick's Cathedral in the 1990s.

 

Additional allegations, including Bernie's, were either withdrawn, dismissed or dropped when a planned second trial of George Pell was abandoned by the Victorian DPP.

 

Pell is currently in prison, awaiting the outcome of an appeal to the high court against his conviction. Pell says he is innocent of all sexual abuse allegations.

 

Pell a 'father figure'

 

Bernie was abandoned by his mother at birth in 1966. He was made a ward of the state and placed in a Catholic orphanage in Ballarat, run by the Sisters of Nazareth.

 

Bernie says he met Father George Pell at the home when he was a young boy and came to look on him as a father figure.

 

He remembers Pell being in the home at shower time.

 

"Before I know it, he's soaping my genitals … soaping me all over … rubbing his hand up my butt crack and 'wash there properly' and all this sort of stuff."

 

Bernie says he remembers a particular occasion when Pell touched his penis.

 

"He was lathering me up and he pulled my foreskin over the head of my penis and that hurt, that really hurt. … he said it's normal, it won't hurt as much as the time goes on."

 

During the 2018 committal proceedings at Melbourne Magistrates' Court, Pell's defence team argued that Pell had only been to Nazareth House once, in 1980 when the home was closing. The current regional superior of the Sisters of Nazareth, Sister Margaret O'Keefe told the ABC that Father Pell had never been to the home.

 

A second boy from Nazareth House, Peter Clarke, claims that George Pell indecently touched him in the swimming pool at the boys' home. At the time, Clarke says he did not think of it as sexual abuse.

 

"To what I know now, as being child abuse or sexual abuse, I didn't look at it back then," he says. "All I knew he just f***ing hurt my ring hole … It was just a simple subtle of a finger through the anus, but pushing your bathers, your togs, we called them togs."

 

Like Bernie, Clarke was contacted by Victoria police task force Sano in their investigation of Pell.

 

"They came to me with this and I didn't want to have no part of this f***ing thing," said Clarke.

 

'Your hand would get pushed down there'

 

During winter months in the 1970s, boys from Nazareth House were taken to the YMCA in Ballarat for swimming. Pell was sometimes there to supervise.

 

Phillip Clarke says the boys would warn each other about Pell's behaviour in the pool.

 

"We'd say, 'Watch your nuts, watch your nuts'," he says.

 

Bernie remembers Pell playing a game where he would hide 20 cents in his swimming trunks and encourage Bernie to look for it.

 

"Your hand would get pushed down there and you're groping him and fondling him," he says. "But I'm not thinking that I'm groping or fondling him, my whole mind set was to try and find the 20 cents."

George Pell High Court judgment on appeal against child sex abuse convictions to be handed down next week

 

The High Court of Australia has announced it will hand down its decision on Cardinal George Pell's final bid for freedom in Brisbane next week.

 

The nation's highest court will deliver its decision at 10:00am on Tuesday, April 7.

 

Pell is serving a maximum of six years' jail after a jury found him guilty of sexually abusing two choirboys in St Patrick's Cathedral in 1996 when he was Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne.

 

He was convicted of one count of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and four counts of committing an indecent act with a child.

 

The former advisor to the Pope maintains he is innocent.

 

In August last year, in a 2-1 judgment, Victoria's Court of Appeal rejected Pell's bid to have his convictions overturned.

 

The High Court is Pell's final avenue for appeal.

 

The full bench of the court reserved its decision after two days of legal argument about his case last month.

 

Pell's lawyers had argued the jury made a mistake and his convictions should be quashed.

 

Pell's counsel, Bret Walker SC, told the High Court there was a "sheer unlikelihood" that his client could have committed the abuse in the midst of a "hive of activity" after a Solemn Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral.

 

Victoria's Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd QC told the judges the evidence presented was enough for the original jury to convict Cardinal Pell beyond reasonable doubt.

 

Pell, 78, is being held in Barwon Prison near Geelong.

 

If the High Court allows his appeal, Pell will be cleared of his conviction and freed immediately from prison.

 

The court could also choose to send the case back to the Victorian Court of Appeal or dismiss the appeal.

 

In February 2019, the Holy See announced its own internal inquiry into Pell, to be run by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, a body with the power to investigate its own.

Plea for expediting the Leifer extradition hearings

 

Three leading organisations within the Australian Jewish community have sent a joint letter to Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin calling on him to make good his pledge to do whatever he could to expedite the case against Malka Leifer.

 

Leifer fled Australia in 2008 ahead of facing 74 charges of child sexual abuse. There have been over 60 hearings in a Jerusalem court in the hope of her extradition to Melbourne.

 

The Zionist Federation of Australia, The Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council and The Executive Council of Australian Jewry penned the letter on Tuesday to the president reminding him of a pledge he gave during his visit to Australia in January to do what he could to stop the interminable delays.

 

In the letter they wrote “As you know, Malka Leifer’s lawyers have resisted her extradition, maintaining that she is mentally unfit to participate in court proceedings.

 

So many aspects of this case have become notorious: the unexplained reversals of testimony by Jerusalem District Psychiatrist Jacob Charnes about Malka Leifer’s mental fitness; the recommendation by Israeli police that Yaakov Litzman be charged with manipulating psychiatric evidence in the case while he was Israel’s Deputy Health Minister; the evidence that Malka Leifer has been malingering; and the seemingly never-ending rounds of psychiatric assessments.

 

As each court appearance has passed without resulting in an extradition order, further trauma has been inflicted on the survivors and the reputation of Israel’s justice system has been tarnished. We are utterly appalled by reports that Mr Litzman may be Health Minister in the new Israeli government, while the accusations against him concerning the ongoing Malka Leifer case remain unresolved.”

 

The signatories, Mark Leibler AIJAC, Jillian Segal ECAJ, Jeremy Leibler ZFA, Dr Colin Rubenstein AIJAC, Peter Wertheim ECAJ, Alex Ryvchin ECAJ and Ginette Searle ZFA wrote that “some of Israel’s most passionate supporters within the Jewish community and in the wider community in Australia have publicly expressed their dismay about the delays that have occurred and other irregular aspects of the case.”

 

President Rivlin told leaders in Australia during his visit if there had not been any further progress he would meet with Israel’s Chief Justice to discuss expedite the proceedings.

 

The letter goes on: “Sadly, there has been no such progress. Justice continues to be delayed and denied for Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer, Elly Sapper and Malka Leifer’s other alleged victims.

 

We appeal to you to make good on your pledge during your visit to Australia to make personal contact with the Chief Justice of Israel and do anything else within your power to discuss how this matter can be expedited and brought to a finality without further delay. This is the unanimous desire of the organised Jewish community in Australia, and of Israel’s many friends in the wider Australian community. Justice demands no less.”

 

By Thursday morning no reply had been received from the President or his office. The receipt of the letter has not been acknowledged according to Peter Wertheim. It a copy has been acknowledged by the Israeli Embassy in Canberra.

 

https://www.jwire.com.au/plea-for-expediting-the-leifer-extradition-hearings/

 

 

Joint letter to President Reuven Rivlin

 

…..

 

During your visit to Australia you gave an assurance that if hearings scheduled during the week of your visit did not see progress towards Malka Leifer being extradited to Australia, you would personally meet with the Chief Justice of Israel to discuss how this matter can be expedited.

 

Sadly, there has been no such progress. Justice continues to be delayed and denied for Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer, Elly Sapper and Malka Leifer’s other alleged victims.

 

Even as Israel, Australia and indeed the world are focused on dealing with the Covid19 pandemic crisis, we appeal to you to make good on your pledge during your visit to Australia to make personal contact with the Chief Justice of Israel and do anything else within your power to discuss how this matter can be expedited and brought to a finality without further delay. This is the unanimous desire of the organised Jewish community in Australia, and of Israel’s many friends in the wider Australian community. Justice demands no less.

Yaakov Litzman tests positive for coronavirus

 

Yaakov Litzman, who is accused of interfering in the process of Malka Leifer’s extradition to face 74 charges of child sexual abuse, has tested positive for the coronavirus.

 

CONTROVERSIAL Israeli MK Yaakov Litzman and his wife Chava have tested positive for the coronavirus, his office has announced, saying they were both in a good condition.

 

The 71-year-old Health Minister is the most senior Israeli official to be diagnosed with the virus.

 

The pair was being “suitably treated and are in isolation, under observation in accordance with Health Ministry guidelines,” the statement said, adding that all those who had been in contact with them would be informed and sent to quarantine.

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been informed of the developments, the statement said, but did not say if this would affect the prime minister, who emerged from voluntary quarantine on Wednesday night after one of his aides was found to be carrying the virus.

 

Meanwhile, the strong possibility that Litzman will be in Israel’s new unity government has triggered a joint appeal against his inclusion by Australia’s peak Jewish bodies.

 

In a landmark letter to Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin, Executive Council of Australian Jewry president Jillian Segal, Zionist Federation of Australia president Jeremy Leibler and Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council national chairman Mark Leibler voiced their strong objection to Litzman being part of the new government, after allegations he interfered in the process of Malka Leifer’s extradition to face 74 charges of child sexual abuse at Adass Israel School.

 

Litzman has denied allegations that, as health minister, he tried to influence testifying psychiatrists to declare the former Adass principal mentally unfit to stand trial, as presented on ABC-TV last month.

 

In negotiations with Likud, Benny Gantz’s Blue and White party had initially demanded the health portfolio but later appeared to trade that for the justice ministry, which would enable Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reappoint Litzman, a move already condemned by high-ranking Israeli doctors.

 

Referring to Israeli police recommendations Litzman be charged, the rare joint letter stated, “We are utterly appalled by reports that Mr Litzman may be Health Minister in the new Israeli government, while the accusations against him concerning the ongoing Malka Leifer case remain unresolved.

 

“Some of Israel’s most passionate supporters within the Jewish community and in the wider community in Australia have publicly expressed their dismay about the delays that have occurred, and other irregular aspects of the case,” it stated.

 

“During your visit to Australia [in February] you gave an assurance that if hearings scheduled during the week of your visit did not see progress towards Malka Leifer being extradited to Australia, you would personally meet with the Chief Justice of Israel to discuss how this matter can be expedited. Sadly, there has been no such progress. Justice continues to be delayed and denied for Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer, Elly Sapper and Malka Leifer’s other alleged victims.”

 

The letter stated that expediting the Leifer case is “the unanimous desire of the organised Jewish community in Australia, and of Israel’s many friends in the wider Australian community. Justice demands no less”.

 

Erlich, a former Adass student when she allegedly became one of Leifer’s victims, told The AJN this week, “A fair and just process has been thwarted by interference. How can we trust the system when the leaders of these systems themselves are not held accountable?”

'We will have significant supply': Drug considered the best treatment for coronavirus will soon be available in Australia

 

An antimalarial drug touted by some as the best current treatment for COVID-19 will soon be available in Australia, the government has announced.

 

Health Minister Greg Hunt said he is 'confident' a 'significant supply' of hydroxychloroquine will soon be ready for doctors to use.

 

Speaking on A Current Affair on Wednesday night, he said: 'I have just come off a call with a supplier and I am confident we will have a significant supply of hydroxychloroquine if doctors wish to use them with patients who are in hospital.'

 

He said scientists were 'cautiously hopeful' that the antimalarial drug, which is also used to treat lupus, can have an impact on coronavirus treatment.

 

It will soon be available for doctors to use on patients in hospital if they believe it will help.

 

There is no current vaccine for COVID-19, and any breakthrough is likely to be about a year away, experts have warned.

 

Hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades to prevent and treat malaria.

 

While studies are in very early stages, some tests showed the drug was capable of keeping the COVID-19 molecules from entering cells.

 

American president Donald Trump recently announced US doctors would be trialling the drug, saying 'I sure as hell think we ought to give it a try'.

 

In a later tweet, he claimed that using the drug in combination with an antibiotic called azithromycin could be 'one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine'.

 

But some experts warned it may not be the heralded cure that some might hope.

 

The drug's popularity began after a study in France, where 40 COVID-19 patients who took the drug had clearer airways within three to six days.

 

But critics have said the study was too small to deem the drug an effective treatment, and even France's own health ministry has warned against its use.

 

France's health minister Olivier Véran said it should only be used for 'serious forms of hospitalization and on the collegial decision of doctors and under strict medical supervision'.

 

'They are cautiously hopeful that it can have an impact, it's not a perfect cure, it's not a perfect prevention', Mr Hunt confirmed on Wednesday day.

 

'It's not fully proven, but there have been some promising trials around the world.

 

'So this will allow us the capacity to expand those trials in Australia.'

 

He also heralded 'positive signs' that the curve of infection rates was slowly flattening in Australia.

 

Rates of infection have dropped in recent days, with just a 9.4 per cent increase in cases on Sunday, compared to 26.2 per cent on March 22, in the first signs the coronavirus curve may be flattening.

 

'As with flu, we work to have the vaccine. But also to flatten the curve and reduce the spread,' he said.

 

'And we've seen early positive signs of that, cautiously positive, again.

 

'Two weeks ago we were at 25-30 per cent a day growth rate during the height of the growth.

 

'That, thanks to the great work of Australians in isolating, in quarantining, in practicing social distancing has meant we've dropped to the low teens.

 

'In the last few days, we've dropped below the 10 per cent mark.

 

'I won't count that until it stabilises, but these are promising signs that all of this agonisingly, difficult work that Australians are having to do is starting pay dividends.'

Proclamation on National Child Abuse Prevention Month, 2020

 

Issued on: March 31, 2020

 

Childhood should be filled with joy, hope, unconditional love, and acceptance. Tragically, however, far too many of our Nation’s young people spend this foundational time of their lives in fear, pain, and uncertainty, enduring abuse and neglect that threatens their health and well-being. During National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we condemn this horrific depravity and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to protecting our children and strengthening our families.

 

Each year, hundreds of thousands of children across our country suffer from abuse and neglect, a fact that is both sobering and heart-wrenching. In January, I signed an Executive Order to coordinate the Federal Government’s efforts to prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children online, protect and support victims of child exploitation, and provide prevention education to raise awareness and help lower the incidence of child exploitation. I also signed into law legislation to enhance our child welfare systems by supporting at-risk families through mental health and substance abuse treatment and programs to develop parenting skills.

 

With our international partners in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, the United States developed the Voluntary Principles to Counter Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse. The Voluntary Principles establish a baseline framework for companies that provide online services to deter use of the internet as a tool for sexually exploiting and abusing children. Several major technology companies have publicly adopted the principles and more will follow in the coming months. These companies have a responsibility to prevent their platforms from becoming a haven for child predators and to also ensure law enforcement is able to investigate and prosecute offenders when children have been victimized.

 

Child abuse causes the loss of innocence and hope. Loving, devoted, and caring families can serve as a bulwark against our children suffering from neglect and abuse. Child Welfare Information Gateway, the information service of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Bureau, offers several resources on preventing child abuse and promoting healthy families through its National Child Abuse Prevention Month website. Familiarizing yourself with the information provided by the Department of Health and Human Services can help you learn more about what you and your community can do to support children and families during this month and throughout the year.

 

To eradicate this blight on our society, compassionate and concerned Americans must work to effect change and impact young lives. Child welfare agencies, clergy members, educators, medical and law enforcement professionals, neighbors, friends, and extended family members all contribute to protecting and nurturing our Nation’s youth. Foster, kinship, and adoptive parents open their hearts and their homes to children in crisis and empower them to find happiness and achieve their dreams. Working together, these forces for good can ensure the welfare of children who have experienced the traumas of abuse or neglect and give them a promising future.

 

The success of our Nation is reflected in our economic and cultural prosperity and military might, but our character is revealed by how we cherish and protect the weak, innocent, and vulnerable. All children are uniquely created in the image of God and gifted with both purpose and unlimited potential. We can and must relentlessly protect our children, homes, and communities from the scourge of these shameful tragedies and support families and communities to ensure that all children have the opportunity to reach their potential.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 2020 as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. I call upon all Americans to invest in the lives of our Nation’s children, to be aware of their safety and well-being, and to support efforts that promote their psychological, physical, and emotional development.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fourth.

 

DONALD J. TRUMP

Why is Australia using rapid tests produced by China? Why hasn't Australian MSM reportedthat American companies have innovated the fastest most accurate COVID19 tests in the world? Why isn't Australia using those American tests? Why aren't we asking America for help, when they clearly have the strongest research and development in the field?

 

Almost like our Australian government doesn't want a solution to this pandemic. Almost like they don't want to admit that America might be innovating and winning, while Australia goes down the drain.

High Court comes to swift judgment in George Pell case

 

The High Court’s swift judgment in the case of George Pell has fuelled expectations that Australia’s most senior Catholic cleric could walk free from jail before Easter.

 

The full bench of the court will hand down its judgment in Brisbane at 10am Tuesday, just 26 days after it finished hearing arguments in the case.

 

Whatever the court decides, its findings will be momentous; bringing to an end a five-year legal saga which began when a former choirboy first told Victoria Police that Pell raped and sexually abused him and a friend nearly 20 years earlier.

 

The judgment will be handed down to a largely empty courtroom in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis which has cleared the court’s hearing schedule and confined the judges to chambers. The court's orders will be tweeted in the first instance and its judgment published online.

 

Although there has not been an outbreak of the virus at Barwon Prison where Pell is housed, he turns 79 in June, is in poor health, and considered at grave risk of infection if he remains behind bars for the remainder of his minimum, three years and eight months jail term.

 

Pell’s supporters believe the speedy High Court decision is a good omen for the Cardinal, the most senior Catholic church figure anywhere in the world to be jailed for historic child sex offences.

 

Melbourne Law School Professor Jeremy Gans, who has closely followed the case and attended last month’s High Court proceedings in Canberra, warned against reading too much into the timing of the judgment, which he described as “fairly fast but not blisteringly fast".

 

“It’s not so quick that you can say ‘they’re trying to get him out of jail ASAP’ and not so slow that you can say ‘they didn’t need to hurry because he’s staying in for years anyway’,’’ Professor Gans told The Age.

 

“In normal times, 26 days would suggest a relatively short, possibly unanimous judgment. But these aren’t normal times. The court has no hearings to prepare for and only eight other judgments to write, not with any particular urgency attached to them.”

 

“What is a little notable is that they are publishing Pell ahead of four other judgments that were heard in earlier months but it’s not that notable: the judgments that were heard earlier are all in quite complex cases.”

 

The issues before the court in Pell v The Queen are relatively simple.

 

Pell was convicted by a County Court jury in December 2018 of sexually assaulting two choirboys in the priests’ sacristy of St Patrick’s Cathedral shortly after he became Archbishop of Melbourne in 1996.

 

That conviction, based almost entirely on the testimony of the sole surviving former choirboy, was upheld by a majority decision of Victoria’s Court of Appeal and that decision appealed to the High Court.

 

The High Court last month sat for two days in Canberra to hear the arguments. The central one pressed by Pell’s legal team is that Victorian Chief Justice Anne Ferguson and Court of Appeal President Chris Maxwell, in their majority decision, placed too much weight on the credibility of Pell’s accuser and not enough on other witness testimony which should have raised doubt that the crimes took place as alleged.

 

This evidence, most notably by former St Patrick’s master of ceremonies Monsignor Charles Portelli and long sacristan Maxwell Potter, called into question when Pell would have been able to find five to six unattended minutes, alone with the choirboys in the sacristy, to commit the offences.

 

Pell’s senior counsel Bret Walker SC told the court the majority decision, instead of requiring the prosecution to eliminate all reasonable doubt, had forced Pell to prove the offending was impossible and in effect, reversed the onus of proof in the case.

 

These arguments were rejected by Victorian Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd QC. Ms Judd submitted that even if Pell won his appeal, he should not be acquitted and released from jail. She submitted that in the event of a successful appeal, Pell’s case should be referred back to the Court of Appeal to be heard again.

Alexander Downer: Coronavirus exposes 'inherent problems' with globalisation

 

Published on 2 Apr 2020

 

Former Foreign Minister Alexander Downer says the coronavirus pandemic has exposed the "inherent problems" with globalisation.

 

“What this has done is drive home to people, particularly the metropolitan elites, the importance of nation states,” he said.

 

“There is only so much you can do multilaterally or through some plurilateral institution like the European Union,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny

 

Mr Downer said in the future people will be forced to “think much more carefully about the degree of dependency their country has on other countries” particularly when it relates to the supply of essential medicines or the sharing of research development.

 

Mr Kenny said the current socio-political landscape shaped by the coronavirus “demonstrates Brexit was the right way to go”.

 

“The control of borders and national sovereignty in a crisis is exactly what the UK needs, Mr Kenny said.

Australian "Journalist", Caroline Overington, has written a book about missing toddler William Tyrrell.

Bizarrely, her website and facebook page prominently feature a picture of her with Oprah, friend of child abusers John of God and Jeffrey Epstein.

Overington couldn't be more obviously part of the cabal if she was dressed as the child snatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

William went missing whilst in the care of a foster family - So far, the case has involved allegations against the foster family, local pedophiles, police, and the government department in charge of taking children away from their birth parents.

Nevertheless, dumbass normie Aussie housewives worship Overington and she is selling lots of books.

George Pell accusers air sexual abuse claim against the Cardinal

 

As George Pell waits for the decision on his appeal on Tuesday, two separate accusers have aired sexual abuse accusations him. WARNING: Graphic content.

 

Cardinal George Pell will learn on Tuesday whether the High Court will grant his bid for freedom after he was found guilty of sexually abusing two choir boys.

 

Judges could yet deny Pell’s appeal, order a retrial or quash his conviction altogether.

 

As he waits for the decision, two separate men have decided to speak out about the abuse they allege they also suffered at Pell’s hands.

 

And others have spoken to the ABC about allegedly witnessing or being warned about abusive behaviour involving boys in and around swimming pools in the Victorian town of Ballarat.

 

Bernie, whose surname has been withheld, grew up in a Catholic orphanage in Ballarat run by the Sisters of Nazareth after being abandoned by his mother at birth in 1966.

 

The now 53-year-old has spoken out publicly about the alleged abuse he suffered there on ABC’s Revelation program.

 

Bernie claimed he met Pell at the orphanage and, at first, saw him as a father figure.

 

He recalled one instance where he claims the now 78-year-old was with him while he was showering.

 

“We’d shower with our underpants on. He’d just stand there and sort of stare at you and watch you.

 

“And then it progressed where, like, ‘Take your underpants off’.

 

“And he came into my cubicle and he says, uh, ‘I don’t think you’re washing yourself properly, Bernard’.

 

"And before I know it, he’s soaping my genitals and, you know, soaping me all over. ‘You need to wash in there’ … rubbing his hand up my butt crack.

 

“He was lathering me up and he pulled my foreskin over the head of my penis and that hurt, that really hurt… He said it’s normal, it won’t hurt as much as the time goes on.”

 

Though this is the first time Bernie has spoken about the claims publicly, in March 2016 he was contacted by Victoria Police as part of an investigation into sexual abuse allegations against the Cardinal.

 

As he heard of Pell’s promotions over the years within the Catholic Church, Bernie revealed he thought he would never get a chance to report the alleged abuse.

 

“I would hear Pell’s become Bishop. Pell’s become Archbishop. Pell’s become a Cardinal,” he said.

 

“Who’s gonna believe a little boy from a home against that conglomerate? You know against that bloody goliath?”

 

Bernie recalled another occasion on which he claimed Pell got into the shower with him at the home’s dormitory.

 

He said they ended up “lathering each other up and washing each other’s genitals.

 

“And while he was lathering me with sort of, like, his arms around me … I could feel an erection.

 

“So I turned around and saw it. That’s when I froze.”

 

Bernie said he got out of the shower before anything else happened and alleged later on Pell gave him a $1 note.

 

Bernard claimed Pell told him: “The reason I’m giving you $1 is you’re not to tell a soul” about the encounter.

 

The 2016 investigation led to Pell being convicted of sexually abusing two choir boys in Melbourne in the 1990s.

 

Bernie’s allegations, along with a number of others, were either withdrawn or dismissed after a planned second trial never went ahead.

 

Pell has continually denied any allegations of sexual assault.

 

Committal proceedings at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in 2018 saw Pell’s lawyers argue that he had only been to Nazareth House – where Bernie grew up – once in 1980.

 

However, Sister Margaret O’Keefe, the current regional superior of the Sisters of Nazareth told the ABC Pell had never visited the home at all.

 

Sister O’Keefe told the ABC an investigation had ruled out the possibility of George Pell ever being here.

Hydroxychloroquine: Australian government waives regulatory requirements for drug

 

Several anti-viral and anti-malarial drugs, which have also been touted by US president as a treatment for coronavirus, have been exempted from strict approval regime

 

The Morrison government has waived therapeutic goods registration requirements for anti-malarial drugs touted by Donald Trump as a potential cure for Covid-19 to prepare for their urgent importation to Australia.

 

On Thursday, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine was exempted from a requirement to be listed on the Australian register of therapeutic goods, which is generally the only way medicine can be lawfully supplied in Australia.

 

Similar exemptions were also granted to Remdesivir, Lopinavir and Ritonavir, which are all anti-viral drugs currently being investigated for the potential to combat Covid-19.

 

According to the Therapeutic Goods Act, exemptions can only be granted so that medicines may be stockpiled for a current or future health risk or “can be made available urgently in Australia in order to deal with an actual threat to public health caused by an emergency that has occurred”.

 

Caroline Edwards, the health department’s acting secretary, made the exemption on the condition the drugs can only be imported, manufactured or supplied by a person with a contract or arrangement with the health department.

 

“The specified therapeutic goods must only be supplied in Australia for the prevention, treatment or alleviation of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) following advice from the Australian government department of health,” the exemption said.

 

The Australian government supports two trials involving hydroxychloroquine, which is an anti-malarial drug also used to treat autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

 

The first, by the University of Queensland, is looking at whether a hydroxychloroquine and an HIV drug used either in combination or on their own can reduce severity and length of Covid-19 if given to patients with the virus early after diagnosis.

 

The second trial, being conducted by Melbourne’s Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and which Hunt said had “the potential for possible prevention” of the virus, will focus on giving 2,250 health workers around Australia given hydroxychloroquine preemptively before and while they are exposed to patients with the virus.

 

Hunt has said hydroxychloroquine may have potential in minimising the impact of and hasten the recovery from Covid-19.

 

On 25 March Hunt said there had been “some promising research so far” and on 23 March he said the drug is “associated with the potential to reduce the impact of coronavirus and speed the body’s capacity to recover from it”. However, he also said he was “cautiously” hopeful.

 

Trump has claimed the use of hydroxychloroquine in combination with azithromycin, an antibiotic, could be “one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine” – only to be immediately contradicted by public health experts including his own top infectious diseases adviser, Dr Anthony Fauci, who warned that there was only “anecdotal evidence” that the drugs could be helpful.

 

Dr Gaetan Burgio, from the John Curtin School of Medical research at the Australian National University, had said “recent results from clinical trials indicated a possible improvement in shortening the duration of the infection”.

 

“However the results are disputed and the clinical trials are inconclusive,” he said. “To date there are no clear indications that chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine are a treatment option.”

 

The Therapeutic Goods Administration [TGA], which regulates drugs in Australia, has placed tight new restrictions on doctors who are authorised to write new prescriptions for the drug, limiting it to a small group of clinical specialties.

 

The TGA warned of increased off-label prescription of medicines containing hydroxychloroquine, citing a “a potential shortage of this product in Australia” and the medicine’s “well-known serious risks to patients including cardiac toxicity (potentially leading to sudden heart attacks), irreversible eye damage and severe depletion of blood sugar (potentially leading to coma)“.

 

The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia wrote to members urging them to “refuse the dispensing of hydroxychloroquine if there is not a genuine need”.

 

A health department spokesperson said the legislative changes “allow the importation and supply of a medicine including hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine to deal with the threat to public health by the Covid-19 emergency without a requirement to be included in the Australian register of therapeutic goods”.

Fears for Assange amid UK prisons outbreak

 

Calls are growing for the UK to release inmates who are on remand, including WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, amid a coronavirus outbreak in the country's prisons.

 

Three prisoners have now died after contracting the virus and another 69 inmates and 14 prison staff have tested positive for COVID-19 across 25 prisons in the country.

 

Assange was denied bail last week after his lawyers failed to convince District Judge Vanessa Baraister he was a vulnerable person at higher risk of the disease inside Belmarsh prison.

 

The country's prisons are currently locked down and 69 pregnant women and women with babies have been released early to mitigate the virus.

 

UK's former chief inspector of prisons David Ramsbotham says there must a full scale release of short-term prisoners.

 

"The remand prisoners in particular should be let out," Baron Ramsbotham wrote in the Telegraph newspaper.

 

"They should also examine indeterminate sentence prisoners."

 

Professor Richard Coker, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, has written two reports on coronavirus in Britain's prisons in the past week.

 

He says if alternatives to prison, like house arrest, are feasible they should be used.

 

"Preventing an outbreak is much easier than controlling an outbreak," Prof Coker wrote.

 

"The risk to any individual is likely to be much lower in the wider community, where social distancing is feasible, than in a place that is, by definition, a congregate setting."

 

WikiLeaks ambassador Joseph Farrell says Assange, who's fighting extradition to the US, shouldn't be in prison as he hasn't committed a crime in the UK.

 

"He shouldn't be in Belmarsh which is a ticking time-bomb considering this pandemic," he told AAP.

 

"He should be with his family in this hour of need."

 

Local MP Abena Oppong-Asare is concerned prison staff and inmates, particularly those at Belmarsh are unable to socially-distance or self-isolate.

 

The Labour politician hasn't received any response to a letter outlining her concerns sent to Minister of State for Prisons and Probation Lucy Frazer five days ago.

 

"Inmates should be afforded the same rights and protections as the wider public," Ms Oppong-Asare told AAP on Friday.

 

She called for personal protective equipment to be provided to prison staff and for testing to ramped up at Belmarsh and other prisons.

 

Britain's two leading prison advocacy groups - the Howard League for Penal Reform and the Prison Reform Trust - also want Secretary of State for Justice Robert Buckland to safely release as many prisoners as possible to stop the "loss of life on an unprecedented scale".

 

"The public has understood and accepted extraordinary changes in the normal workings of society because of the government's strict policy of following the best scientific and medical advice," the charities wrote.

 

"It is crucial that the same principle should apply to decisions relating to prisons and prisoners."

 

The US government is trying to extradite Assange to face 17 charges of violating the Espionage Act and one of conspiring to commit computer intrusion over the leaking and publishing of thousands of classified US diplomatic and military files.

 

Some of those files revealed alleged US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

The charges carry a total of 175 years' imprisonment.

 

Assange's next extradition case is set for April 7.

John Durham Forges Ahead With Investigation Of Trump-Russia Probe Origins Despite Coronavirus Pandemic

 

The coronavirus pandemic has not deterred U.S. Attorney John Durham from pushing to end his investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.

 

Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, has increasingly focused on former CIA Director John Brennan’s role in shaping an intelligence community assessment that the Russian government meddled in the 2016 election explicitly to help Donald Trump, according to The Wall Street Journal.

 

Citing sources familiar with the inquiry, TheWSJ reported that Durham’s team began interviews at the CIA earlier this year that have focused on intelligence officers who work at the National Intelligence Council, which is a part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

 

Durham has been looking at whether Brennan pushed for a more aggressive assessment of Russia’s motives. One issue is whether a mole who the intelligence community relied on for insight into Vladimir Putin’s motives actually had access to the Kremlin.

 

The New York Times reported on Dec. 19 that Durham was seeking Brennan’s emails, calendars and other documents.

 

Attorney General William Barr tapped Durham last year to conduct a broad review of U.S. government’s intelligence-gathering activities related to the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia.

 

Barr has said that Durham is looking into FBI and CIA activities, as well as the role that any foreign intelligence services might have played in surveilling campaign associates. Barr has also said that Durham is looking at the activities of “private actors.”

 

Durham’s assignment was first reported on May 13, 2019, but Justice Department emails released this week show that he was in contact with the Justice Department more than a month earlier.

 

The emails include correspondence between Durham, aides to Barr, and Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department’s inspector general. Horowitz released a scathing report on Dec. 9 that blasted the FBI for submitting inaccurate and incomplete information to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in order to wiretap Carter Page.

 

The report said that FBI officials relied heavily on unverified information from former British spy Christopher Steele.

 

The British government has rejected Durham’s request to interview Steele, who investigated the Trump campaign on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC, according to TheWSJ.

 

Sir Andrew Wood, a former British diplomat who set up a November 2016 meeting between Steele and an aide to John McCain, told The Journal that he has recently been contacted by Durham’s office.

 

The Justice Department released records this week that show Durham convened on a nearly weekly basis last summer with officials in Washington, D.C.

 

The records show that Durham met in the attorney general’s office on June 26, July 11, July 16, Aug. 1, Aug. 6, Aug. 20, Sept. 3 and Sept. 12. Durham took part in conference calls with DOJ officials on July 12, Aug. 16 and Sept. 6, according to the documents.

 

Durham traveled with Barr during that time period to meet with foreign intelligence officials, including in Italy and Australia. The pair inquired during their trip to Italy about Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese professor who had contact in 2016 with Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos.

 

The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Prince Andrew 'refuses to appear on US documentary to discuss friendship with Jeffrey Epstein because his lawyers fear a repeat of car-crash BBC interview and think the FBI could use his comments against him'

 

Prince Andrew has refused to appear in a US television documentary and answer questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, sources in Los Angeles have claimed.

 

The Duke Of York, 60, has been formally asked to talk about Epstein in a four-part series into the padeophile billionaire's life, with the working title Surviving Jeffrey Epstein.

 

However, Andrew has refused to take part, with his lawyers reportedly fearing a repeat of his car crash BBC Newsnight interview.

 

That interview, with Emily Maitlis, triggered an avalanche of anger against the Duke which led to him quitting royal duties. because of his relationship with Epstein.

 

His lawyers also fear that any comments he makes in a TV series could be used against him by the FBI or even in a litany of civil cases by Epstein's victims.

 

The series is being produced by Lifetime, the network that first publicised allegations of sexual abuse and assault against singer R. Kelly in 2019 with Surviving R. Kelly.

 

The documentary will look at Epstein's life, business and social circle with comments from ex-employees and victims, according to insiders.

 

Sources told the Mirror: 'Andrew has been asked to appear to discuss his friendship, but there has been no formal response.

 

'His legal team have told him to conduct no more interviews after he spoke to the BBC.

 

'There is a concern anything he says on tape or camera becomes potential legal material for the many civil cases facing Epstein, and FBI questions regarding Andrew.'

 

Epstein killed himself in New York last year while he was awaiting trial on charges of trafficking young women for sex.

 

One of those women, Virginia Roberts, claimed she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew three times when she was still a teenager.

 

Andrew has repeatedly denied the claims and in November told Newsnight's Emily Maitlis: 'I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.'

Anti-child exploitation drive relentless amid quarantine: PNP

 

MANILA – Despite the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), the Philippine National Police – Women and Children Protection Center (PNP-WCPC) on Wednesday said it continues to coordinate with foreign partners to curb online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC).

 

“Despite the current lockdown situation brought about by Covid-19, our police officers continue their valiant efforts in investigating cases of online sexual exploitation of children in the country. This current situation will not hinder us from performing our sworn duty to protect the most vulnerable women and children. The Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Center (PICACC) is still operational to help stop the spread of OSEC,” WCPC chief, Brig Gen. Alessandro Abella said in a statement.

 

Abella said the WCPC continues to locate 26 female child victims aged between 12 and 17 years old in the country who fell victims to an Australian child sex offender who was sentenced to serve 18 years and six months in prison on March 30 for sexually abusing Filipino minors and producing child sexual exploitation materials (CSEM).

 

The 52-year-old accused entered guilty pleas to 33 criminal charges related to in-person child sexual abuse and production and possession of CSEM before a court in Melbourne, Australia.

 

Following his arrest on June 15, 2017, by the Victorian Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) reached out to the PNP-WCPC to locate the female child victims in the Philippines.

 

WCPC’s Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division conducted interviews of the victims and gathered more evidence to support the prosecution of the Australian offender.

 

Graeme Marshall, acting superintendent of the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in Manila said his office and the Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Center (PICACC) participating agencies continue to focus resources on eradicating this abhorrent criminal conduct and prosecuting offenders.

 

“These trusted and valued international partnerships are critical to the protection of the most vulnerable in our communities, particularly during this uncertain and challenging time,” Marshall said.

 

Meanwhile, International Justice Mission (IJM) Philippines director Samson Inocencio Jr. said economic circumstances could increase motivation to engage in OSEC.

 

“We can also surmise that child sex offenders abroad now have more time to spend online, and local traffickers have greater access to children in their homes – potentially increasing the demand for and supply of CSEM as well as livestreamed OSEC. We, therefore, encourage everyone to remain vigilant against OSEC activities in their communities and when they are online,” said Inocencio.

 

Inocencio also said he immediately reach out to the authorities if they have information about the crime happening in their area.

 

“We also call on tech companies to beef up child protection mechanisms on their platforms. Let’s continue to work together to end OSEC by ending impunity,” he said.

 

If there is report a suspected case of OSEC by texting ENDOSEC (space) (incident details) to 7444- 64 for Smart network subscribers; or directly connect with WCPC at (032) 410-8483 for the Visayas, and 0917-180-6037 or 0928-604-6425 for Mindanao.

 

The PICACC, which celebrated its first anniversary last month, is a collective effort to combat child exploitation across the Philippines by law enforcement – the PNP, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), the Australian Federal Police (AFP), and the United Kingdom National Crime Agency (UK NCA); in partnership with the non-government organization, IJM.

 

This collaborative international effort protects children through an enhanced global response to combatting the online sexual exploitation of children.

Netanyahu, heads of Mossad, NSC, MOH all in isolation after Litzman infected

 

Health minister accused of praying contrary to his own office’s guidelines

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mossad Director Yossi Cohen, National Security Council Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat and Health Ministry director-general Moshe Bar Siman Tov entered quarantine on Thursday after Health Minister Ya’acov Litzman was diagnosed with the coronavirus.

 

These officials, essentially Israel’s top leadership, are currently leading efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 throughout the country.

 

“The health minister is feeling well,” the Health Ministry said Thursday.

 

Dr. Sigal Sadetsky, head of Public Health Services at the Health Ministry; Dr. Vered Ezra, head of Medical Management at the Health Ministry; and Hadassah-University Medical Center CEO Zeev Rotstein are in self-isolation after they met in recent days with Litzman.

 

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi is working from quarantine after coming in contact with an infected officer earlier in the week. He has tested negative for the virus.

 

Cohen will be in isolation at Mossad headquarters until Sunday. Litzman, head of United Torah Judaism, will be at home in Jerusalem. Bar Siman Tov will be in an office at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer.

 

Netanyahu will also be at home through Wednesday. He completed a few days of self-isolation on Wednesday after coming into contact with another one of his advisers who also contracted the virus 14 days prior. He was tested – along with his family and several close advisers – on Monday. The tests were negative.

 

“We were prepared for such a possibility [of senior politicians and bureaucrats entering quarantine],” Bar Siman Tov said in a statement. “I will continue to manage my team through digital means… The need to go into isolation can happen to all of us, and we must obey instructions."

 

He urged citizens to follow Health Ministry guidelines.

 

But Litzman might not have followed his office’s guidelines, Channel 12 reported Thursday. He reportedly prayed at a synagogue with a minyan on March 28, three days after the Health Ministry’s directive that “no person should pray in a place other than his place of residence unless prayers are being conducted in an open space.”

 

Testimony by residents in the haredi neighborhood in which Litzman lives suggests he violated the directives several other times. Neighbors said he prayed at a minyan more than 100 meters from his home.

 

“He prayed daily in the Beit Israel synagogue with my father,” a young man told Channel 12. “I suppose the health minister will not say he was there during any investigation, which raises risk here. There are people out there who don’t know they should be in isolation because they came in contact with him, and if it turns out they are carrying the disease, they will pass it on and on.”

 

In response, Litzman’s office denied the allegations. “The minister of health has been fully responsible for the entire period,” it said in a statement.

 

Litzman’s office accused the report of being rooted in politics, adding: “Attempt to involve political pressure in a national and global emergency must be rejected.”

 

Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid said if the prime minister does not dismiss Litzman from his role, “the government does not have the moral validity to manage the coronavirus crisis.”

 

Last week, after Litzman attended a Knesset session, parliamentary and Health Ministry officials checked the footage of the building’s security cameras to determine with whom he had direct contact. Both a Knesset security guard and UTJ MK Yisrael Eichler were ordered to enter self-isolation. The entrances to the offices of Litzman and Eichler have been disinfected.

 

The Health Ministry said a full epidemiological investigation is being carried out, and messages will be sent to any others who would be required to enter quarantine. It is expected that other senior officials will also be asked to self-isolate.

 

Litzman, who is a Gerrer hassid, may have contracted COVID-19 from another senior government or Health Ministry official or from someone within the haredi community, Health Ministry deputy director-general Itamar Grotto told Channel 12 Thursday.

 

A statement released to the press earlier said the Gerrer Rebbe, Rabbi Ya’acov Aryeh Alter, would not have to enter isolation.

West Australian Premier Mark McGowan was asked whether WA Police would be handing out fines for going for a run to get a kebab as part of the state's clampdown on social distancing. It's fair to say he lost his composure.

Canberra to push China to ban wildlife meat trade

 

The government will lobby China through international forums to enforce its ban on the trade in wild animal meat.

 

Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs Jason Wood said it was an "absolute no-brainer" to close down Asian wet markets because of "barbaric cruelty to wildlife" and major health risks.

 

A long-time wildlife campaigner, Mr Wood has pushed for harsher animal cruelty penalties and successfully lobbied his own party to ban trophy hunters importing rhino and lion body parts, including entire stuffed bodies, paws and skulls.

 

He said wet markets were a proven health risk, citing the World Health Organisation, and many practised acts of animal cruelty.

 

"What we have seen around the world, people tragically dying, families not being able to give their loved ones funerals. It has been a terrible time," Mr Wood said.

 

"Wet markets have been the origin of viruses such as SARS and more than likely COVID-19. We need to protect human lives and crack down on the incredible cruelty to wildlife that occurs in these places."

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday that Australia had "to be quite strident" through international bodies, including the World Health Organisation, to deal with the "quite serious world health risks" of wet markets.

 

The markets are common across much of Asia and home to small stall holders who sell fresh produce, seafood and the same meats found in Western butcher shops. Some also sell meat from wild animals that are stored live before being killed.

 

Mr Wood was among the first Coalition MPs to condemn live animal trade at wet markets last month and has faced calls for his resignation from Labor over what one MP labelled as "fear mongering".

 

Labor's spokesperson on multicultural affairs Andrew Giles said at the time Mr Wood should be working to “unite Australians” and that the remarks were inappropriate, offensive and could undermine public health efforts.

 

Mr Wood said many of the initial sufferers of the virus were reported to have worked in live animal markets in Wuhan.

 

He said the practices of wet markets should be "condemned" and live animal trading shut down.

 

"I have been a voice for wildlife whether here or across the world, and I will not be called a racist for condemning wet markets, whether it be in China, in Wuhan or anywhere else."

 

Former foreign minister Bob Carr also said China needed to give assurances it had banned the trade of wild animal meat.

 

Professor Deborah Cao, a expert in Chinese wildlife protection laws at Griffith University, said the Chinese government had banned transporting, selling and eating wildlife in February, making it unnecessary to ban wet markets altogether.

 

"That will backfire, people will resent it," Professor Cao said. "Most people are legitimately going to go and buy fresh produce."

 

Wet markets play an important role in giving locals access to fresh food in a similar way to farmers' markets in Australia, said Professor Cao, who is an advocate of the ban on wild animal meat.

 

The Chinese government is still considering exactly which animals are "wild" and ought to be banned but some cities and provinces are already implementing their own bans, including Shenzhen, a city near Hong Kong, which enacted its ban on Friday. The ban also extends to the consumption of cats and dogs.

 

Professor Cao cautioned that even with a ban, the main issue was enforcement.

 

"China's existing wildlife protection laws are most often not enforced," she said.

 

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly said while wet markets with wildlife posed a risk of sparking new viruses, shutting them would not help with COVID-19.

 

"In terms of this particular virus, COVID-19, really that jump from animals to humans has already occurred, so the risk is really in large numbers of humans coming together rather than markets at this point," Dr Kelly said.

Australian scientists discover head lice drug kills coronavirus in lab

 

Melbourne researchers say an anti-parasitic drug commonly used to combat head lice has been found to kill the virus that causes COVID-19 in the lab within 48 hours.

 

A Monash University-led study has shown a high dose of the common drug Ivermectin could stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in human cells in a dish.

 

However, results in a test tube are a long way from results in a human. Many compounds show promise at early stages of research only to fail later. The amount used in the initial tests is also much higher than a standard human dose.

 

But the results are particularly interesting because Ivermectin has been widely studied in humans and is considered reasonably safe. It is on the World Health Organisation's list of essential medicines.

 

The scientists are now hoping to secure funding for further trials.

 

Dr Kylie Wagstaff, from Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, said that because it is going to be some time until a broadly available vaccine for COVID-19 is ready, a compound like Ivermectin which is available worldwide could "help people sooner" if proven effective.

 

“Because it’s FDA-approved, if we show enough efficacy in pre-clinical work we can move it straight through to humans," she said. "We’re not looking for safety, we’re just looking for efficacy."

 

But she warned against people trying to access the prescription-only drug prior to it going through human clinical trials, which would require funding.

 

"Like every medication, it is prescription for a reason. And it’s not approved for anti-viral use at all. It’s definitely still in the experimental realm," Dr Wagstaff said.

 

The drug, which is used to treat a range of parasite infections, is one of many being trialled in the race to find a cure for COVID-19. Experimental drugs such as those developed to combat malaria, HIV and Ebola are also being tested.

 

After reports of the drug's success inside a petri dish circled on Saturday, Victoria's Health Minister Jenny Mikakos reminded the public that it would be "lethal" for people to swallow lice medication.

 

"We have seen people overseas who have heard about potential developments and ingested drugs which have been used in a completely inappropriate way and died," she said at a press conference.

 

"There’s no reason to be buying lice treatment unless you’re going to be [using it] on your children’s hair."

 

The important next step is for scientists to determine the correct human dosage for Ivermectin.

 

It is not known exactly how Ivermectin works against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, but the drug compound is thought to be an inhibitor of one of the cell's natural processes, which scientists believe is hijacked by a number of viruses to get around the immune responses of humans.

 

Some RNA viruses use the cell's own transport system to send a protein into the cell's nucleus that blocks the immune system from attacking the virus. Ivermectin targets not the virus but the transport system, effectively blocking the virus's own defences.

 

“Because it’s directed against the host, it can have effects on the rest of the body. But it’s been around for 30 years, it’s been in hundreds of thousands of people," Dr Wagstaff said.

 

"Because it targets the cell, we have shown it is quite effective against a lot of different RNA viruses. COVID-19 is an RNA virus. We suspect it uses this same mechanism.”

 

Ivermectin has also been shown to be effective in lab dishes against viruses including HIV, dengue and influenza.

 

The study is the joint work of Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute and the Peter Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity, with the findings published in the journal Antiviral Research.

The Prime Minister Of Australia Warns That Life Will Not Return To “Normal” Until A Coronavirus Vaccine Arrives

 

It is starting to look like there will not be a return to normalcy for a very long time. Even though about half of the world is currently under some sort of a “shelter-in-place” order, COVID-19 continues to spread at an alarming rate. Of course the U.S. is seeing far more newly confirmed cases than anyone else at this point, and that is a huge concern. The United States now has more confirmed cases than Italy and China combined, and the daily death toll in our nation just hit another new high. Sadly, one of the big reasons why the U.S. is having such a problem is because a whole lot of people are completely disregarding the “shelter-in-place” orders. As a result, a lot of them are getting sick and spreading the virus.

 

But even if everyone all over the planet was strictly following the “shelter-in-place” orders, the virus would still continue to spread, it would just be at a slower pace.

 

Needless to say, many of those that have been confined to their homes are very much looking forward to resuming their normal lives, but that may not happen for quite a while.

 

This week, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison warned the people of his country that it will be “at least six months” before this pandemic is behind us…

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has reiterated that life as we know it will not return for months as global leaders race to find a coronavirus vaccine.

 

He said he had been “very upfront” with all Australians “to say you’re looking at least six months for this, and that’s why we have to adapt”.

 

Does that mean that the entire nation of Australia will continue to be locked down until then?

 

Morrison went on to say that once a coronavirus vaccine arrives it will finally allow “everybody to go back to life as it was”…

 

Morrison told The Latest that while many states have managed to “push the curve down”, ultimately, “there needs to be a vaccine”.

 

“And there are some promising signs in a number of these, and we’ll continue to work with other countries along those lines.”

 

“A vaccine ultimately enables everybody to go back to life as it was,” he said.

Australian state will install home surveillance hardware to make sure if you're in virus isolation, you stay there

 

Could be a wearable, could be wired. Backed by big fines and jail

 

The State of Western Australia has given itself the power to install surveillance devices in homes, or compel people to wear them, to ensure that those required to isolate during the coronavirus crisis don’t interact with the community.

 

Not all people will be required to use the devices. State Premier [equivalent to a US governor – ed.] Mark McGowan said they’ll only be used if: “Someone who is directed to self-isolate and fails to comply.”

 

The law enabling the regime, passed yesterday after very brief debate, is the Emergency Management Amendment (COVID-19 Response) Bill 2020 [PDF]. It outlines the monitoring regime, and the fact that the State Emergency Coordinator has the power to require use of surveillance hardware.

 

If the Coordinator makes that decision, they have the power to:

 

  • Direct the person to wear an approved electronic monitoring device.

 

  • Direct the person to permit the installation of an approved electronic monitoring device at the place where the person resides or, if the person does not have a place of residence, at any other place specified by the officer.

 

  • Give any other reasonable direction to the person necessary for the proper administration the electronic monitoring of the person.

 

Attempts to damage, remove or interfere with the operation of the devices, or refusal to hand one over to authorised officers, can result in a year behind bars, or a fine of AU$12,000 (US$7,400, £5,900).

 

The Register has learned of smartphone-based surveillance in aid of coronavirus-crimping in Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong, plus the UK is clearing policy roadblocks to make it possible. Russia has used facial recognition and public security cameras to detect quarantine-breakers.

 

But we’ve not found evidence of on-premises or wearable surveillance in any jurisdiction other than Western Australia. We have, however, found one opinion that the state's actions aren't out of bounds.

 

The Nuffield Council on Bioethics, a London-based think tank, has issued a "Guide to the ethics of surveillance and quarantine for novel coronavirus" [PDF]. The guide considers surveillance to detect symptoms is fine, and also adds the following:

 

''The avoidance of significant harm to others who are at risk from a serious communicable disease may outweigh the consideration of personal privacy or confidentiality, and on this basis it can be ethically justified to collect non-anonymised data about individuals for the purpose of implementing control measures.''

 

''However, any overriding of privacy or confidentiality must be to the minimum extent possible to achieve the desired aim.''

 

The Register has asked the Western Australian government to detail the devices it intends to use, and if it has them to hand. We have not received a response to our request at the time of writing and will update this story if we receive any information.

George Pell’s bid for freedom: high court verdict to decide disgraced cardinal's future

 

Australian high court’s decision is Pell’s last chance to overturn conviction for historical child sexual abuse

 

On Tuesday, almost two years after being committed to stand trial on multiple charges of historical child sexual abuse, the case against the former financial controller of the Vatican, Cardinal George Pell, will end with him either walking free or remaining in jail to serve the rest of his sentence.

 

After failing to appeal to Victoria’s appellate court in August, Pell’s legal team took his case to the high court, the final avenue in his bid for freedom. Across two days in March, the full bench of seven justices heard Pell’s barrister Bret Walker SC argue that Victoria’s appellate judges, who dismissed Pell’s first appeal in 2019 by a majority of two-to-one, may have been unduly influenced by the complainant’s testimony by watching a recorded video of it rather than just reading the transcript of his evidence.

 

Walker also argued that just because the complainant was believable and compelling, it should not have led jurors to discount other evidence that placed his evidence in doubt. The director of the Office of Public Prosecutions, Kerri Judd, responded by saying that given Pell’s legal team made so much of the complainant’s lack of credibility and believability, Victoria’s appellate court was entitled to watch the video. It did not mean they had elevated it above other evidence, or that they had not given due weight to other evidence from the trial, she said. She added that the entire body of evidence considered together gave weight to the complainant’s account, rather than discrediting it.

 

Once they return to court on Tuesday the high court bench will immediately deliver its decision as to whether the majority of the seven justices accepts the arguments from Pell’s team and will acquit and release him, or whether the majority dismissed the appeal in which case the guilty verdict will hold and Pell’s opportunities to appeal will have been exhausted.

 

Because of Covid-19 and travel restrictions, it will be difficult for media and the public to attend the decision even though it is being delivered in an open court. Social distancing requirements mean only a handful of people will be able to be in the court room in Brisbane, where the decision is being delivered. The court is not equipped to provide a livestream of the proceedings.

 

The judgment delivery itself will be over in a minute or two, with just the orders being read out by the chief justice Susan Kiefel. The judgment summary will then go live on the court’s website, with the bench’s full reasons for their judgement becoming available shortly after.

 

Nothing can be read into the timing of the decision coming just three weeks after the hearing in Canberra – it is impossible to predict what the bench will decide. But once the decision comes and the case is over, the child abuse royal commission will be able to release its redacted report into its findings regarding Pell.

 

Australia’s child sexual abuse royal commission, a five-year inquiry into abuses of children in institutional settings including religious ones, redacted large sections of its findings relating to Pell when it handed down its final report in 2017, so as not to influence or jeopardise the legal action.

 

Pell, Australia’s most senior Catholic, was in December 2018 convicted on five charges. A Melbourne jury found him guilty of sexually abusing two 13-year-old choir boys in the priest’s sacristy of St Patrick’s cathedral after Sunday solemn mass when he was the Archbishop of Melbourne in 1996. He then assaulted one of the boys again a few weeks later. Pell is just over one year in to serving a six-year prison sentence, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months.

Morrison’s Support Surges in Australia After Record Stimulus

 

Scott Morrison has recorded the strongest approval ratings for an Australian leader in more than a decade after his government passed a record stimulus to buttress the economy from the coronavirus.

 

Morrison, 51, recorded the highest net satisfaction rating for a prime minister since Kevin Rudd in 2009, rising to plus 26 percentage points from minus 12 in the previous survey released some three weeks ago, according to a Newspoll published Monday by the Australian newspaper. His rating as preferred prime minister has also jumped by 11 points in three weeks.

 

His Liberal-National coalition government is now back in front, leading the main opposition Labor party by 51% to 49%. Morrison’s popularity had dropped just months earlier over his handling of Australia’s bushfire crisis, particularly his decision to depart the country for a family holiday in Hawaii.

 

Since the coronavirus emerged as a threat, Morrison has been emphatic that his conservative government is fighting to both save lives by limiting its spread, and to support an economy now rocked by a wave of unemployment as restaurants, casinos and retailers close due to social-distancing restrictions.

 

Total fiscal and monetary stimulus in Australia since the virus emerged has now exceeded A$320 billion ($193 billion), or 16.4% of gross domestic product, including a A$130 billion jobs-rescue plan set to be legislated at a special sitting of parliament in Canberra from Wednesday. Morrison last week announced the government will make childcare free to help workers stay in their jobs.

 

Morrison, who has barred non-essential travel and closed borders to non-residents, has received some criticism for issuing confusing messaging about what sections of society should shut and what can proceed. But he has formed a National Cabinet with state and territory leaders in a bid to deliver a unified response to the crisis, and the country has so far avoided being flung into a full-blown health crisis as seen in the U.S. and parts of Europe.

 

The “scalable” measures the National Cabinet has put in place seem to be having an impact, with new cases of the virus falling to less than 10% growth a day. Morrison has also hailed the strength of the country’s health sector, saying that figures that show almost 1% of the population have been tested are among the world’s best.

 

Australia had 5,687 confirmed cases as of 3 p.m. Sydney time on Sunday, up 2.5% from the day before. There have been 34 fatalities.

William Tyrrell top cop faces five years in jail after being found GUILTY of illegally recording conversations with a person of interest in the boy's disappearance - as judge calls his evidence 'unbelievable'

 

The former top detective in the William Tyrrell investigation has been found guilty of illegally recording his conversations with an elderly person of interest in the case in a scathing judgment.

 

For ten months, ex-Detective Chief Inspector Gary Jubelin vigorously defended four charges he illegally recorded elderly Kendall widower Paul Savage, 75, during the investigation into the three-year-old's disappearance.

 

But Magistrate Ross Hudson on Monday ruled what the well-respected homicide cop had done was illegal - condemning his evidence as 'untenable and unbelievable' and 'tailored' to support his version of events.

 

Magistrate Hudson said Jubelin had pursued Savage - who lived across the road from where William vanished on the NSW north coast September 12, 2014 - 'at all costs', but 'there's no leads, there's nothing'.

 

'There's no DNA, there's no fingerprints, there's no one necessarily who says "I saw him go into the backyard where William Tyrrell was"… There's no leads, there's nothing… he picked Mr Savage. He's pursuing him at all costs.'

 

Jubelin had claimed he recorded the conversations to protect his lawful interests, including concerns Mr Savage could commit suicide.

 

But in a scathing three-and-a-half hour decision, Magistrate Hudson said: 'Mr Jubelin made a decision. Savage was his man … in my view, Mr Jubelin has acted illegally. The court cannot accept … the recording of conversations was reasonably necessary to protect his legal rights'.

 

Handing down his decision, Magistrate Hudson argued there were several recording devices already lawfully set up in Mr Savage's home at the time of the recorded phone calls.

 

'This was a strategy at all costs. This was above and beyond legality. This was, 'I'm going after Savage',' the magistrate said.

 

He described Jubelin as making decisions going against evidence, against the task force and lacking any witnesses.

 

When William vanished, Mr Savage lived on Benaroon Drive, Kendall, with his wife, Heather. She died months later of natural causes.

 

Mr Savage increasingly became a focus of Jubelin's Strike Force Rosann in 2017 - but the magistrate said the team was at odds over who should be a target.

 

One of the taped conversations involving Jubelin and Savage came after police deliberately planted a Spiderman costume near the walking track where Savage went for his morning strolls in July 2017.

 

That month he was subjected to a four hour police interview involving more than 2,000 questions. The magistrate said Mr Savage was 'vulnerable', had mental health problems and had lost his wife, the magistrate noted.

 

Jubelin first instructed a junior officer to record his phone call with Mr Savage months later, on November 3 from NSW Police headquarters in Parramatta - months later.

 

'Just do it,' Jubelin allegedly told the officer. The junior officer pressed record, but said he saved it elsewhere, despite being told not to.

 

The magistrate said the officer knew the recording wasn't right and that his evidence 'had a ring of truth… He knows he's doing something wrong'.

 

Meanwhile, the magistrate said Jubelin's evidence to the court had been rendered 'untenable', given he controlled the 'chess pieces' in the situation with Mr Savage.

 

He said when Jubelin gave evidence, he 'made speeches' with 'lengthy and self-serving answers'.

 

The magistrate described Jubelin's evidence as 'self evidently partisan and tailored for the version of events' he was giving the court.

 

The maximum punishment for breaching the Surveillance Devices Act is five years' imprisonment and/or an $11,000 fine.

 

Magistrate Ross Hudson rejected the defence's argument that Mr Savage had consented or knew he was being listened to by Jubelin during any of the calls.

 

'He didn't consent, he doesn't know he's being recorded,' the magistrate said. He said Jubelin had belittled and humiliated Mr Savage.

 

Jubelin was represented by high-profile barrister Margaret Cunneen SC, the prosecutor who locked up the Skaf gang in the early 2000s. He huddled with his lawyers, unemotional, after the verdict.

 

Many of Jubelin's supporters, such as Matthew Leveson's parents Faye and Mark, were unable to attend court due to the coronavirus crisis.

Dutton warns of dodgy COVID-19 test kits

 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton is urging Australians to be wary of imported, dodgy 'home' COVID-19 tests kits that could pose a serious risk to public health.

 

A number of these faulty kits have been intercepted by Australian Border Force officers in recent weeks.

 

He warned using these kits would undermine the vital, lifesaving work of health professionals.

 

"Inaccurate results could prevent people from seeking the medical help they need, or alternatively, discourage people who should be self-isolating from doing so," Mr Dutton said in a statement on Sunday.

 

He said the Therapeutic Goods Administration has ruled the tests kits as unapproved medical devices.

 

"Our ABF officers at the border are on alert for any unauthorised or homemade COVID-19 products and they will continue working day and night to ensure these dangerous goods don't make it into Australian households and communities," Mr Dutton said.

 

The ABF intercepted a consignment of 200 units that originated from China and arrived in Perth as air cargo via Singapore on March 16.

 

Similar detections have now been made in Perth (50 units) on March 23 and Melbourne (39 units) on March 27, both originating in Hong Kong.

 

Mr Dutton said the only approved tests for COVID-19 in Australia are laboratory based tests or tests that can be used by health professionals at the point of care such as in hospitals or clinics.

Furious Jacinda Ardern takes aim at Australia for telling thousands of New Zealanders 'it's time to go home' amid coronavirus pandemic

 

A cheesed-off Jacinda Ardern has taken aim at Australia's new ruling on temporary visa holders after acting Immigration Minister Alan Tudge effectively told thousands of out-of-work New Zealanders 'it's time to go home'.

 

The Australian government introduced new advice to the 2.17 million people in Australia on temporary visas on Saturday, which includes 672,000 people on the New Zealand-specific 444 visa.

 

Many of those Kiwis will have arrived in Australia prior to 2001, which grants them access to Centrelink benefits.

 

More still will have been in permanent, full-time or part-time work, which grants them access to the Australian government's mammoth JobKeeper scheme.

 

But others in casual, insecure work or without jobs find themselves without support and have been asked to leave by Mr Tudge.

 

Ms Ardern suspects that will be 'a wide number' given the impact of coronavirus on the economy, and has urged her Australian counterparts, once again, to better support New Zealand citizens living in Australia.

 

The New Zealand PM - who in February infamously chastised Prime Minister Scott Morrison for deporting criminals to New Zealand who held Kiwi passports but did not hold established links to her country - sounded off at the Australian government again.

 

'What (Mr Tudge would) do well to remember is that if they wish for Australia to be in a position to gear up in the aftermath of the outbreak, they now need a workforce to do that,' she said from Wellington.

 

'New Zealanders make up that workforce.

 

'They, on average, earn more and pay more taxes than others. They are a key part of the Australian economy and I would have thought they wouldn't want to be so quick to lose them.'

 

Ms Ardern tersely pointed out many were employed in the health care system.

 

'New Zealanders make up (a portion of Australia's) health workforce and that there are some, for instance, who won't be being kept on (by employers) because they may have been involved in contractual arrangement and the health workforce and in elective services,' she said.

 

'That, I would have thought again, would be a workforce that they would wish to keep.'

 

The 203,000 international tourists currently visiting Australia have also been asked to leave 'as quickly as possible'.

 

Mr Tudge said the 118,000 people on a working holiday visa - or backpacker visa - should leave if they did not have confidence to sustain themselves for six months, with exemptions made for critical sectors.

 

Those are health, aged and disability care, agriculture, food processing and childcare.

Australia is doing well. Now we must manage the aftermath

 

Social isolation can't last for long without doing more harm than the virus itself. So it's now time to start thinking about an exit plan.

 

''Alexander Downer Columnist''

 

In the United States – unlike Australia – there is already a vigorous debate about when the lockdown must come to an end and the economy return to something akin to normality. This is sometimes called the lives versus livelihoods debate.

 

Donald Trump may have backed down from his comment that America would reopen by Easter, but sources in the White House are privately saying that he’s pleased there is such a forthright debate about getting the economy going again.

 

The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, has said that America needs to get people back to work once antibody testing gets going. And in the UK, the government’s chief pandemic modeller has said that a prolonged lockdown risks causing more social harm than the virus itself and that the British government needs to find a way out of its current dilemma.

 

Here, only the most mean-spirited partisan would say the Australian government has done a bad job of fighting the coronavirus. Australia’s testing rates are among the highest – if not the highest – in the world, and its mortality rates are among the lowest; the growth in infections is declining steeply and the government has provided a huge economic package that is carefully designed to support businesses, the unemployed and people at risk of losing their jobs.

 

Full credit to Scott Morrison, Greg Hunt and Josh Frydenberg. They have all done a brilliant job.

 

Their principles have been quite simple: to contain the coronavirus, we need to strengthen border protection, increase testing and tracing, and continue for the time being with social isolation.

 

The data shows these measures are gradually working to reduce the growth in COVID-19 infection. That means these measures are saving lives. The curve has been flattened and that trend is likely to improve over the next fortnight or so and our mortality rate is only about 0.5 per cent, one of the lowest in the world.

 

The federal government has been particularly effective in striking a balance between trying to contain the disease on the one hand and trying to save as much of the economy as it can on the other. I know they’ve done that with a fair bit of resistance, particularly from New South Wales and Victoria.

 

I’m told by insiders in the federal government that New South Wales and Victoria wanted to reduce the economy to a shell and impose a police state. Not surprisingly, the federal government thought that was just too much.

 

For the time being, the suspension of some civil liberties is acceptable to the general public. But be warned. The public will put up with these measures only for so long. Likewise, the federal government cannot indefinitely keep funding wage subsidies, free childcare and a huge increase in the social security bill. At some point, their capacity to raise money will reach its limit.

 

When these limits will be reached is a hard matter of judgment. Social isolation, I suspect, cannot last for more than a few weeks.

 

So the federal government now has to start thinking about its exit plan and sell this through the national cabinet to the states. It has to develop acceptable criteria for winding back social isolation and, at some point, end the substantial subsidies to business and the offer of free childcare.

 

What are those criteria?

 

It would be easy to wind back the current measures if a vaccine was developed in the next few weeks and, more realistically, new treatments were to become available for those afflicted with the coronavirus. No scientist seems to think a vaccine will be available for between a year and 18 months. As for treatment, tests are under way but a widely available and effective treatment for the virus is some months away, at best.

 

So easy medical solutions to COVID-19 would seem to be too slow, assuming they are possible at all.

'Obsolete scum of white Australia' behind anti-Chinese sentiment, says NSW Labor MP

 

Embattled NSW Labor MP Shaoquett Moselmane has warned “the obsolete scum of white Australia” has re-emerged, attacked Australia’s “mainstream media” as anti-Chinese and praised Beijing’s leadership during the coronavirus crisis in a February essay that mirrors Chinese state propaganda.

 

The revelation of Mr Moselmane’s February 5 opinion piece for the East China Normal University comes with the upper house MP already facing intense criticism - including from his own party- for separate comments he made praising Chinese President Xi Jinping.

 

In his February opinion piece, Mr Moselmane endorses the much-maligned praise by the World Health Organisation of “measures adopted by China… to stop the virus from spreading”.

 

“At the same time, the Australian government was hesitant, lacked direction, and responded slowly and confusingly," he wrote.

 

“We appreciate the serious attention, timely and effective countermeasures against the threat of coronavirus taken by the Chinese authorities and the Chinese community in Australia.”

 

China has been widely criticised by academics and health experts in media reports for downplaying the extent of the outbreak in Wuhan, the original epicentre of the pandemic, and silencing whistleblowers such as doctor Li Wenliang, who later died from the disease.

 

But in his February piece, Mr Moselmane savages Australia’s “mainstream media” for having “publicly played racist cards, offending and insulting many Australian citizens, especially Chinese residents” in actions that “further deepened the already great suffering of the victim”.

 

“Today, the obsolete scum of 'white Australia' is once again flooding, and the theory of yellow fever has once again surfaced,” he wrote.

 

“Some mainstream media have bred and spread these racial viruses in our multicultural community with the purpose of inciting hatred.

 

“Today, media xenophobia and full-scale war against China have become the norm,” his piece says, attacking not only Australian outlets but a piece in The New York Times.

 

Mr Moselmane did not respond to requests for comment.

 

Last week, NSW Labor leader Jodi McKay criticised Mr Moselmane for comments he made on his personal website praising China's "unswerving leadership" in handling the coronavirus crisis.

 

Federal Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton also last week condemned Mr Moselmane's website remarks as Chinese government "talking points" while former Rudd government minister Stephen Conroy described Mr Moselmane as an "absolute disgrace to the Labor Party" and said it was "astonishing he's still in Parliament".

 

Mr Moselmane has previously courted controversy for a 2018 speech in which he declared: “The only way for China to reach its potential is for China to force a change to the rules and create a new world order.”

 

He was in the spotlight again last year, after the Herald revealed his political staffer, John Zhang, had completed a propaganda training course in Beijing run by the Chinese Communist Party in 2013.

 

The February 5 opinion piece was translated into Chinese by Mr Zhang.

Judgement summary - PELL v THE QUEEN

 

HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA

 

7 April 2020

 

Today, the High Court granted special leave to appeal against a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria and unanimously allowed the appeal. The High Court found that the jury, acting rationally on the whole of the evidence, ought to have entertained a doubt as to the applicant's guilt with respect to each of the offences for which he was convicted, and ordered that the convictions be quashed and that verdicts of acquittal be entered in their place.

 

On 11 December 2018, following a trial by jury in the County Court of Victoria, the applicant, who was Archbishop of Melbourne at the time of the alleged offending, was convicted of one charge of sexual penetration of a child under 16 years and four charges of committing an act of indecency with or in the presence of a child under the age of 16 years. This was the second trial of these charges, the jury at the first trial having been unable to agree on its verdicts. The prosecution case, as it was left to the jury, alleged that the offending occurred on two separate occasions, the first on 15 or 22 December 1996 and the second on 23 February 1997. The incidents were alleged to have occurred in and near the priests' sacristy at St Patrick's Cathedral in East Melbourne, following the celebration of Sunday solemn Mass. The victims of the alleged offending were two Cathedral choirboys aged 13 years at the time of the events.

 

The applicant sought leave to appeal against his convictions before the Court of Appeal. On 21 August 2019 the Court of Appeal granted leave on a single ground, which contended that the verdicts were unreasonable or could not be supported by the evidence, and dismissed the appeal. The Court of Appeal viewed video-recordings of a number of witnesses' testimony, including that of the complainant. The majority, Ferguson CJ and Maxwell P, assessed the complainant to be a compelling witness. Their Honours went on to consider the evidence of a number of "opportunity witnesses", who had described the movements of the applicant and others following the conclusion of Sunday solemn Mass in a way that was inconsistent with the complainant's account. Their Honours found that no witness could say with certainty that these routines and practices were never departed from and concluded that the jury had not been compelled to entertain a reasonable doubt as to the applicant's guilt. Weinberg JA dissented, concluding that, by reason of the unchallenged evidence of the opportunity witnesses, the jury, acting rationally on the whole of the evidence, ought to have had a reasonable doubt.

 

On 17 September 2019, the applicant applied to the High Court for special leave to appeal from the Court of Appeal's decision on two grounds. On 13 November 2019, Gordon and Edelman JJ referred the application for special leave to a Full Court of the High Court for argument as on an appeal. The application was heard by the High Court on 11 and 12 March 2020.

 

The High Court considered that, while the Court of Appeal majority assessed the evidence of the opportunity witnesses as leaving open the possibility that the complainant's account was correct, their Honours' analysis failed to engage with the question of whether there remained a reasonable possibility that the offending had not taken place, such that there ought to have been a reasonable doubt as to the applicant's guilt. The unchallenged evidence of the opportunity witnesses was inconsistent with the complainant's account, and described: (i) the applicant's practice of greeting congregants on or near the Cathedral steps after Sunday solemn Mass; (ii) the established and historical Catholic church practice that required that the applicant, as an archbishop, always be accompanied when robed in the Cathedral; and (iii) the continuous traffic in and out of the priests' sacristy for ten to 15 minutes after the conclusion of the procession that ended Sunday solemn Mass.

The high court found that the jury, acting rationally on the whole of the evidence, ought to have entertained a doubt as to Pell’s guilt with respect to each of the offences for which he was convicted, and ordered that the convictions be quashed and that verdicts of acquittal be entered in their place.

 

In other words, it wasn’t enough jurors they found the witness believable, compelling and honest. The other evidence should have called his account into question, the bench found.

 

In a summary of the judgment, the bench said that “on the assumption that the jury had assessed the complainant’s evidence as thoroughly credible and reliable, the evidence of the opportunity witnesses nonetheless required the jury, acting rationally, to have entertained a reasonable doubt as to the applicant’s guilt in relation to the offences involved in both alleged incidents”.

 

There was “a significant possibility that an innocent person has been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt to the requisite standard of proof,” the bench found.

lawfag here

this stinks

the guy had dirt and wasnt going down without singing so they let him off

it is highly unusual for ever a TRIAL judge to over rule the jury but it does happen - in these cases the judge saw and heard everything live and in person so at least has a basis to do so

 

but for an appeals court to do it RARE and esp suspect in this case

 

>>8708411 (pb)

 

I was pondering this exact same point a few nights ago and realised that with the power the DS has (derp, I mean had), cherry picking a jury is no more a difficult task than cherry picking the judiciary. The relevant question is, which case applies here?

Cardinal Pell to walk free after Australian court acquittal

 

(Reuters) - Australia’s highest court on Tuesday acquitted former Vatican treasurer George Pell of sexually assaulting two teenaged choirboys in the 1990s, allowing the 78-year-old cardinal to walk free from jail.

 

The High Court ordered Pell’s convictions be quashed and verdicts of acquittal be entered in their place, ending the most high profile case of alleged historical sex abuse to rock the Roman Catholic Church.

 

The seven judges of the High Court agreed unanimously that the jury in the cardinal’s trial “ought to have entertained a doubt” as to his guilt.

 

Pell, who has maintained his innocence throughout the lengthy court process, cannot be retried on the charges.

 

“I hold no ill will toward my accuser, I do not want my acquittal to add to the hurt and bitterness so many feel; there is certainly hurt and bitterness enough,” Pell said in a statement after the acquittal.

 

The Vatican had no immediate comment. Pope Francis has said he would only comment on the case after Pell exhausted all avenues of appeal.

 

Pell, a polarising figure in Australia for his conservative views, was the highest ranked Catholic official worldwide to have been jailed for child sex offences when he began serving a six-year sentence a year ago.

 

Pell was charged in 2017 with one charge of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and four charges of an indecent act with a child under 16, which the plaintiff said took place when Pell was archbishop of the city of Melbourne.

 

The High Court said the lower court of appeal majority who dismissed an earlier appeal “failed to engage with the question of whether there remained a reasonable possibility that the offending had not taken place, such that there ought to have been a reasonable doubt as to the applicant’s guilt.”

 

Pell’s accuser, one of two boys the archbishop was alleged to have assaulted, had said the offences took place shortly after Sunday masses, in the priests’ sacristy of St. Patrick’s cathedral and a sacristy corridor. The second alleged victim died in 2014.

 

The judgment was delivered during Holy Week, the period leading up to Easter which is the most important day in the Christian calendar, following two days of hearings a month ago.

 

The decision was delivered to a largely empty courtroom in Brisbane because of national restrictions on travel and public gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Pell, who has remained a cardinal despite pressure on the church from victims of sexual abuse and their advocates to dismiss him, said his case was not a referendum on the Catholic Church or how its authorities dealt with the crime of paedophilia.

 

“The point was whether I had committed these awful crimes, and I did not,” he said.

 

HUNG JURY

 

Pell’s first trial ended in a hung jury, before the jury in a second trial unanimously found him guilty in 2018. Pell did not take the stand at either trial.

 

Under Australia’s court system, Pell’s first appeal went to a court in Victoria, where a majority of two judges against one upheld his conviction.

 

Pell’s lawyers then took the case to the High Court, arguing that the Victoria appeals court had erred in shifting the onus of proof to the defense and in finding that it was open to the jury to find Pell guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

 

The High Court said the lower court of appeal had “failed to engage with the question of whether there remained a reasonable possibility that the offending had not taken place, such that there ought to have been a reasonable doubt as to the applicant’s guilt.”

 

The cardinal was appointed by Pope Francis in 2014 to overhaul the Vatican’s vast finances but lost his role last year after being jailed.

Relief for Pell supporters, while abuse advocates mull consequences

 

George Pell's success at the High Court and release from prison brought relief to his supporters but devastated other sex-assault victims and their advocates, who fear his acquittal will deter people from reporting crimes.

 

The High Court unanimously found Cardinal Pell's appeal successful on Tuesday and quashed the convictions he received after a County Court jury found him guilty in 2018 of sexually abusing two choirboys in 1996.

 

Within hours of the judges handing down their ruling to a courtroom near empty because of the COVID-19 crisis, Cardinal Pell was released after more than 400 days in jail, was driven from Barwon Prison to Kew's Carmelite Monastery and issued a statement saying he held "no ill will" to his accuser.

 

"I have consistently maintained my innocence while suffering from a serious injustice," the 78-year-old said.

 

The father of one of the former choirboys, whose son died as an adult in 2014 having never contacted police, said he was shocked by the ruling.

 

"It makes me feel like I have no confidence in the legal system in this country," he told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.

 

"For a man to be convicted by a jury and then have his appeal quashed [by the Court of Appeal], and then go to the High Court and have the whole thing thrown out, that's incredible."

 

The son died from an accidental heroin overdose in 2014 at age 31. Wednesday will mark the sixth anniversary of his death.

 

The surviving former choirboy contacted police in 2015 and gave evidence at Cardinal Pell's trial on what he said happened to both him and his friend.

 

The father said he felt sorry for his son's friend and what Tuesday's ruling would mean for him, and for other complainants in unrelated sex-assault cases.

 

"He'd be devastated. He's not been believed," the man said.

 

"And what's that going to do for other [complainants], that's what I'm worried about. There's thousands of people out there who have been too scared to come forward and this is going to frighten them off."

 

Despite those fears, the man had a message for anyone considering coming forward.

 

"Go for it. Persist, persist, persist. Tell your story."

 

The surviving choirboy declined to comment but his lawyer might address the media on Wednesday.

 

Cardinal Pell's release brought measured relief to his supporters.

 

In a letter to clerics and lay people, Melbourne Archbishop Peter A. Comensoli said the court's decision marked the end of "an intense and painful time for all those personally involved, those who have experienced abuse, and for the Catholic community in Melbourne".

 

Archbishop Comensoli acknowledged Cardinal Pell's accuser had the right to report his allegations but noted the cardinal had steadfastly maintained his innocence.

 

"This decision means the Cardinal was wrongly convicted and imprisoned and he is now free to live his life peaceably within the community," Archbishop Comensoli said.

 

Former prime minister Tony Abbott was also restrained.

 

When asked about his support of the senior cleric, Mr Abbott said: "That's as it's been and as it will be, but, as I said, today is just a day to let the High Court judgment speak for itself."

 

Advocates for sex-assault victims had believed the original guilty verdict would empower complainants in other cases to come forward.

 

Now, like the dead choirboy's father, they are concerned about what effect the latest ruling will have.

 

Cathy Kezelman, the president of the Blue Knot Foundation National Centre of Excellence for Complex Trauma, said her organisation was worried about the indirect consequences of the judgment.

 

The Centre Against Sexual Assault's convenor, Karen Hogan, said her organisation had fielded calls from people who were struggling to cope with their own cases of past trauma.

 

Chrissie Foster, whose daughters Emma and Katie were raped by parish priest Kevin O'Donnell while at primary school in the 1980s, was concerned other complainants might reach the conclusion "Don't bother".

STATEMENT FROM CARDINAL GEORGE PELL

 

I have consistently maintained my innocence while suffering from a serious injustice.

 

This has been remedied today with the High Court’s unanimous decision.

 

I look forward to reading the judgment and reasons for the decision in detail.

 

I hold no ill will toward my accuser, I do not want my acquittal to add to the hurt and bitterness so many feel; there is certainly hurt and bitterness enough.However my trial was not a referendum on the Catholic Church; nor a referendum on how Church authorities in Australia dealt with the crime of paedophilia in the Church.

 

The point was whether I had committed these awful crimes, and I did not.

 

The only basis for long term healing is truth and the only basis for justice is truth, because justice means truth for all.

 

A special thanks for all the prayers and thousands of letters of support.

 

I want to thank in particular my family for their love and support and what they had to go through; my small team of advisors; those who spoke up for me and suffered as a result; and all my friends and supporters here and overseas.

 

Also my deepest thanks and gratitude to my entire legal team for their unwavering resolve to see justice prevail, to throw light on manufactured obscurity and to reveal the truth.

 

Finally, I am aware of the current health crisis. I am praying for all those affected and our medical frontline personnel.

Pope appears to offer Pell support at mass

 

Pope Francis, speaking just a few hours after Australia's highest court acquitted Cardinal George Pell of sexual abuse, has offered his morning mass for those who suffer today from unjust sentences.

 

The court quashed convictions that Cardinal Pell sexually assaulted two choirboys in the 1990s and allowed the former Vatican economy minister to walk free from jail, ending the most high-profile case of alleged historical sex abuse to rock the Roman Catholic Church.

 

Each morning at the mass in his residence, Pope Francis chooses an intention for the service, such as remembering the poor, the homeless or the sick.

 

"I would like to pray today for all those people who suffer unjust sentences resulting from intransigence (against them)," the Pope said on Tuesday, speaking before the start of the mass. He did not mention Cardinal Pell by name.

 

In recent weeks, the Pope's intentions for nearly all of his daily masses have been related to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Pope Francis compared the suffering of those inflicted with unjust sentences today to the way Jewish community elders persecuted Jesus with "obstinacy and rage even though he was innocent".

 

The Vatican had no immediate comment on the verdict on Cardinal Pell, which comes in the middle of Holy Week, the period leading up to Easter, the most important day in the Christian calendar.

 

The Pope, who appointed Cardinal Pell to overhaul the Vatican's vast finances in 2014, has said he would comment only after all avenues of appeal had been exhausted.

 

At 78, three years past the age at which bishops and Vatican officials normally hand in their resignation, Cardinal Pell is not expected to return to a Holy See job.

 

The cardinal had been on a leave of absence from the post, whose formal title is Prefect for the Secretariat of the Economy, since 2017.

 

Last year, the Pope named a successor, Spanish Jesuit priest Juan Antonio Guerrero Alves.

 

An official Vatican comment was expected later on Tuesday and it was not clear if the Pope would make a specific personal statement.

 

In its report on the decision, the official Vatican News website recalled that Cardinal Pell had always maintained his innocence and his right to defend himself until all levels of justice were exhausted.

Pell verdict paves way for inquiry reports

 

A royal commission's findings about Cardinal George Pell's handling of child sexual abuse complaints won't be released for weeks.

 

The High Court's decision to overturn Cardinal Pell's criminal convictions paves the way for blacked-out sections of two reports from the child abuse royal commission to be released.

 

Federal Attorney-General Christian Porter said the reports should be released without redactions where possible.

 

He said his office first needed to check with Victorian authorities to ensure the information would not prejudice any future investigations or prosecutions.

 

"That could take a number of weeks," Mr Porter told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday.

 

"But my strong preference is to have as much of the information that has been redacted, tabled with less redaction.

 

"There is a process now for me to go through with Victorian authorities to determine whether those redactions can be lifted or modified without doing any prejudice to any future proceedings."

 

Redacted versions of the royal commission's reports into the Catholic Church's handling of child abuse allegations in the Melbourne archdiocese and Ballarat diocese were released in December 2017.

 

The inquiry's findings will not relate to abuse allegations against Cardinal Pell himself, but rather his knowledge of complaints against pedophile priests during his time in Ballarat and Melbourne.

 

Cardinal Pell, a former Sydney and Melbourne archbishop, was a priest in Ballarat and auxiliary bishop in Melbourne.

 

Chrissie Foster, a long-time campaigner for child abuse victims after two-of-her-three daughters were raped by a Melbourne priest, was among those calling for the royal commission findings to be released.

 

"What's got to happen is the royal commission's redacted sections need to be unredacted and we'll see there what George Pell was doing, according to them," she said.

 

Three other royal commission reports were also not released in full or in part because the inquiry did not want to prejudice current or future criminal or civil proceedings.

 

The royal commission expected unredacted versions of the reports would be published at a later date.

Archbishops say Pell has been vindicated

 

Sydney's Catholic archbishop says Cardinal George Pell has been vindicated by the High Court and the pursuit of the high-profile figure should now cease.

 

Australia's Catholic bishops acknowledged Cardinal Pell's acquittal would be devastating for many child sexual abuse survivors amid continued anger at the church's failure to protect children.

 

Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher said the unanimous High Court decision confirmed Cardinal Pell's conviction was wrong.

 

"I ask that the pursuit of him that brought us to this point now cease," Archbishop Fisher said.

 

He said the case amounted to a trial of not only Cardinal Pell but of Australia's legal system and culture.

 

"The cardinal's vindication today invites broader reflection on our system of justice, our commitment to the presumption of innocence, and our treatment of high-profile figures accused of crimes."

 

Archbishop Fisher said some people would struggle with the ruling, which may reopen survivors' wounds.

 

"But justice for victims is never served by the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of anyone," he said.

 

Melbourne Archbishop Peter Comensoli said his immediate reaction to the High Court decision was relief for Cardinal Pell and concern for the accuser known as 'J', who had wanted his story heard.

 

The archbishop again said he believed Cardinal Pell, who had steadfastly maintained his innocence.

 

"My own sense was that I had an understanding of the man and my knowledge of him - when he said he was innocent, I accepted that," Archbishop Comensoli said.

 

"This decision means the cardinal was wrongly convicted and imprisoned, and he is now free to live his life peacefully within the community."

 

While Cardinal Pell said his trial was not a referendum on how Australian church authorities dealt with the crime of pedophilia, bishops acknowledged the wider symbolism of the case.

 

"I fully appreciate that people have seen in this case another emblematic story of sexual abuse by a Catholic priest. And it has brought a deeper weariness of soul to people of faith," Archbishop Comensoli said.

 

Archbishop Fisher said the church's past failure to protect children had contributed to the public anger against it and its leaders.

 

Victorian parish priest Andrew Hayes said he did not share the relief felt by Cardinal Pell and churchgoers who felt vindicated.

 

"My concern is less about what happens to Catholic clergy in the courts and more with what happens for the thousands of people we broke," the Ararat and Stawell priest wrote on Facebook.

 

"We broke them because we thought that illegal rape was only immoral.

 

"We broke them because we were immature in so many ways, and then were vested with a dysfunctionally isolated authority."

 

Australian Catholic Bishops Conference president and Brisbane Archbishop Mark Coleridge said many people would welcome the court outcome, including those who believed in Cardinal Pell's innocence.

 

"We also recognise that the High Court's decision will be devastating for others," Archbishop Coleridge said.

 

"Many have suffered greatly through the process, which has now reached its conclusion."

 

Archbishop Coleridge said the court result did not change the church's commitment to child safety and "a just and compassionate response" to abuse survivors.

 

Ballarat Bishop Paul Bird said the case had divided opinions in legal circles and the general community, particularly in his diocese because of Cardinal Pell's early connections there.

 

"Now that the highest court in the land has given a judgement, I hope this will bring some sense of resolution to all those affected by the proceedings," he said.

Assange hearing to continue despite virus

 

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's extradition hearing will continue next month despite his legal team's concerns about open justice and his health amid the UK's coronavirus lockdown.

 

Defence lawyers applied for the hearing to be delayed until September and prosecuting lawyers had a "neutral" stance in the Westminster Magistrates' Court.

 

District Judge Vanessa Baraister says the Australian's trial will resume on May 18 as planned with the court still scheduled to be open on that date.

 

"This is an unpredictable situation but I cannot assume the courts will not operating normally by then," she said.

 

"Mr Assange is in custody and there is some urgency of this case being heard to its conclusion."

 

Due to lockdown measures Tuesday's hearing took place in unusual circumstances with Assange reportedly unwell and no lawyers attending in person.

 

Instead Judge Baraister presided over a pair of telephones, with regular interruptions from robotic voices announcing people joining and leaving the conference call, with just five journalists and five members of the public in court.

 

Defence lawyer Edward Fitzgerald said it's near impossible to meet Assange inside the locked-down Belmarsh prison.

 

"It is not possible for us to take Mr Assange's instructions," he said.

 

"We're unable to fulfil our professional obligations to him."

 

The barrister warned that the press and the public wouldn't be able to observe the hearing if it went ahead next month.

 

He said it will put Assange at risk of coronavirus as he has to pass through communal areas of the prison to get to the court and the videolink room.

 

A least one prisoner from Belmarsh has died of coronavirus.

 

Mr Fitzgerald noted that the lockdown was taking a toll on the mental state of Assange, who suffers clinical depression.

 

"To force him to enter a full evidential hearing in May, we respectfully submit it would be unjust. We respectfully submit it would be oppressive," he said.

 

US government lawyer James Lewis was "neutral" on an adjournment, recognising there was "considerable practical difficulties" for the defence team.

 

Judge Baraister ruled against a deferral, but said she would review the viability of the May hearing closer to the date.

 

The judge also temporarily banned the publication of the name of Assange's partner.

 

The partner, who is the mother of Assange's young children, gave a written statement in his unsuccessful bail bid last week.

 

Mr Fitzgerald argued naming her would put her at risk of harm because US agents had once wanted to test her children's nappies for DNA when they were visiting Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy between 2012 and 2019.

 

But Judge Baraister said there was no evidence any US agency intended to harm the woman or the children, who are not yet school-aged.

 

The woman's name will be publishable from April 14 if Assange's lawyers fail to file for a judicial review.

 

The US government is trying to extradite Assange to face 17 charges of violating the Espionage Act and one of conspiring to commit computer intrusion over the leaking and publishing of thousands of classified US diplomatic and military files.

 

Some of those files revealed alleged US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

The US charges carry a total sentence of 175 years' imprisonment.

 

A brief hearing is set for Assange to meet his lawyers in the Woolwich Crown Court holding cells on April 22.

 

The main extradition hearing will resume on May 18.

Witness J, former choirboy who accused George Pell, says case 'does not define me'

 

The former choirboy who accused George Pell of abusing him in the 1990s says he hopes the High Court's unanimous acquittal of the Cardinal does not discourage survivors from reporting abuse.

 

The man, known as Witness J, was one of two choirboys Cardinal Pell was convicted of sexually abusing.

 

The High Court of Australia yesterday quashed Cardinal Pell's child sexual abuse convictions, granting Cardinal Pell's application for special leave and unanimously acquitting him.

 

…..

 

Witness J's lawyer Vivian Waller told ABC News Breakfast this morning that it had been "a very long journey" for her client.

 

"He is disappointed but respectful and relieved it is all over. He is experiencing some relief that the process has come to an end but he is also very respectful of the High Court and he accepts the decision," she said.

 

…..

 

Dr Waller acknowledged Cardinal Pell's acquittal may lead some people to lose faith in the legal system.

 

But she encouraged survivors to remember there had been many successful criminal prosecutions against the Catholic clergy in Victoria.

 

"Too long a list to go through this morning but behind each conviction is a survivor who had the courage to come forward and to report to the police.

 

"My message to survivors is please do not lose heart."

Media Statement - Dr. Vivian Waller - Principal Solicitor, Waller Legal

 

Pell v The Queen [2020] HCA 12

 

8 April 2020

 

My client, Witness J, does not wish to make any comment except for the following statement:

 

I respect the decision of the High Court. I accept the outcome.

 

I understand their view that there was not enough evidence to satisfy the court beyond all reasonable doubt that the offending occurred.

 

I understand that the High Court is saying that the prosecution did not make out the case to the required standards of proof.

 

There are a lot of checks and balances in the criminal justice system and the appeal process is one of them. I respect that.

 

It is difficult in child sexual abuse matters to satisfy a criminal court that the offending has occurred beyond the shadow of a doubt.

 

It is a very high standard to meet — a heavy burden.

 

I understand why criminal cases must be proven beyond all reasonable doubt.

 

No-one wants to live in a society where people can be imprisoned without due and proper process.

 

This is a basic civil liberty. But the price we pay for weighting the system in favour of the accused is that many sexual offences against children go unpunished.

 

That's why it remains important that everyone who can report to the police does so.

 

I would hate to think that one outcome of this case is that people are discouraged from reporting to the police.

 

I would like to reassure child sexual abuse survivors that most people recognise the truth when they hear it.

 

They know the truth when they look it in the face. I am content with that.

 

I would like to thank the police and the Office of Public Prosecutions for their work. I have felt well supported through this journey.

 

My journey has been long and I am relieved it is over. I have my ups and downs. The darkness is never far away.

 

Despite the stress of the legal process and public controversy I have tried hard to keep myself together. I am OK. I hope that everyone who has followed this case is OK.

 

I thank the media for respecting my privacy and for continuing to protect my identity. This has allowed me to stay on track with my recovery and wellbeing.

 

This case does not define me. I am a man who came forward for my friend who, sadly, is no longer with us.

 

I am a man doing my best to be a loving dad, partner, son, brother and friend.

 

I am doing my best to find and hold joy in my life and to provide a safe and loving home for my family.

Western Sydney man arrested for alleged online sharing of child abuse material

 

A 24-year-old man is due to face Penrith Court today following an AFP investigation into the alleged possession and sharing of child abuse material online.

 

The investigation began following a report from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the United States. The report suggested an internet user based in Australia had transmitted more than 6,800 files categorised as child abuse material online.

 

The matter was referred to the AFP Eastern Command Child Protection Operations area and an investigation launched.

 

Investigators yesterday (Tuesday, 7 April 2020) executed a search warrant at a home in the western Sydney suburb of Whalan. A number of electronic devices were seized and will be the subject of further digital forensic examination.

 

The man was arrested and taken to Mount Druitt Police Station and charged with using a carriage service for child abuse material, contrary to s 474.22 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). The maximum penalty for this offence is 15 years imprisonment.

 

AFP Acting Commander Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) and Child Protection Operations Paula Hudson said these types of images often depict a child somewhere in the world that has been exposed to cruel and degrading abuse.

 

“Despite the current COVID-19 crisis the AFP and the ACCCE, as well as state and territory partners, will not lose focus on combatting child exploitation,” she said.

 

“Our officers are still working diligently to identify and prosecute those who prey on our children. Our work to put a stop to the sexual exploitation of children, be it online or physical abuse, will not stop for anything.”

 

Acting Commander Hudson said sharing these images fuelled the demand for the disturbing content, and the AFP remained committed to combating this crime type at all levels - now more than ever as people turn to spend more time on the internet.

 

“Even now as our society grapples with this health crisis, this is a warning to would-be offenders that we are still active and we will still catch you,” she said.

 

The Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) works alongside key stakeholders and partners to drive a collective global effort to counter the epidemic of child exploitation. It provides an integrated and collaborative capability to ensure cohesion by using the expertise of federal, state and territory, non-government agencies and private industry, and by allowing a cross-pollination of resources, knowledge and skillsets between stakeholders.

 

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in the possession or sharing of child exploitation material are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

 

You can also make a report online by alerting the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation via the Report Abuse button at www.accce.gov.au/report

Resignations in the news

 

Labor MP quits his position in NSW upper house

 

NSW Labor MP Shaoquett Moselmane has resigned as assistant president of the Legislative Council, after coming under fire for repeatedly praising China's response to the coronavirus crisis.

 

Mr Moselmane tendered his resignation on Monday afternoon, less than a year after he was elected in a secret ballot of NSW upper house MPs in May 2019.

 

His resignation relates only to the role of assistant president, which will see him forgo $57,525 in additional salary and allowances per year. The position will remain vacant until a replacement is appointed when Parliament sits in September. Mr Moselmane remains a member of the NSW upper house and a member of the Labor Party.

 

Mr Moselmane resigned from the role following a week of intense criticism over public comments he made over China's handling of the pandemic, which included extolling President Xi Jinping's "unswerving leadership".

 

Labor leader Jodi McKay has described his comments as "appalling", and said he would "never be in the shadow cabinet" but ruled out expelling him from the party.

 

“He’s going through a very difficult time right now and I’m not going to expel him from the Labor Party,” Ms McKay told 2GB radio last week.

 

China has been widely criticised by academics and health experts for downplaying the extent of the outbreak in Wuhan, the original epicentre of the pandemic, and silencing whistleblowers such as doctor Li Wenliang, who later died from the disease.

 

As revealed by the Herald, Mr Moselmane lauded President Xi in a post on his personal website, where he stated that a nation needed "tough, unswerving leadership, focused on the mammoth task ahead" in order to contain the virus' spread.

Border restrictions block Konica Minolta Australia managing director replacement

 

Konica Minolta Australia chairman and managing director Dr. David Cooke has announced his resignation, however will stay with the company as it navigates border restrictions due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Yohei Konaka, from Japan, will step in to replace him. Konaka was set commence his role as managing director on April 1, 2020. However due to borders being closed to Australia due to COVID-19, Cooke will stay in the role until it’s possible for Konaka to travel to Australia.

 

Cooke was to remain with the company until mid-July to see out the Japanese financial year and facilitate a smooth transition.

 

"I have no doubt that this will be a significant time of change and it will involve many personal and professional challenges. And we will most likely have to rethink many things now and in the future," says Cooke.

 

"It’s a time of uncertainty for many, and our aim is to make sure we can look after our employees, our partners, our customers and the community through these times, as we have at all times.

Controversial drug hydroxychloroquine to be given to coronavirus patients in Australia

 

Infectious diseases experts urge caution amid concerns about anti-malarial’s possible side-effects

 

A controversial anti-malaria drug will be given to Australian Covid-19 patients in hospitals outside of clinical trials, the federal government confirmed, after the therapeutic goods registration requirements for two drugs were waived to allow them to be imported to and stockpiled in Australia.

 

The drugs, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, are being explored in clinical trials around the world for their potential as a coronavirus treatment to ease symptoms, or as a preventative drug to stop people being overcome with the infection. Trials are exploring use of the drugs on their own as well as in combination with others.

 

But clinicians have warned that hydroxychloroquine can cause severe and even life-threatening side-effects, and have cautioned against using it for conditions for which it has not been tested. It is a proven treatment for malaria and for some autoimmune conditions.

 

Studies on its efficacy as a Covid-19 preventative or treatment are mixed. Much of the focus on the drug came after a small French study, which has since been widely disputed and been found to have omitted data contain spurious results. A small study from China found no benefit to chloroquine being given to Covid-19 patients.

 

Hydroxychloroquine has also caused division within the White House, Axios reported, after the US president, Donald Trump, hyped it as a “game changer” in treating the virus. The White House infectious disease expert warned Trump that evidence for the drug was only anecdotal and far from proven.

 

A health department spokesman said the inclusion of the medicine in the national medical stockpile was based on not only its proven clinical uses, but on its potential clinical utility in the absence of a well-documented treatment.

 

While “clinical trials are critical for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of potential treatments, before they are made available through the health system”, the spokesman said, the drug would be made available not only for clinical trials but “for use in hospitals for ill patients”.

 

The government said under an emergency exemption to therapeutic goods registration requirements the drug would be sourced from overseas and imported, including intermediates and other raw materials so that local manufacturing could occur.

 

The department confirmed that the former federal politician Clive Palmer, who has said he will produce 1m doses of the drug, has a prior written arrangement with the commonwealth and so his plan aligned with the emergency exemption.

 

“It is anticipated that medicines containing hydroxychloroquine sulfate will be made available to the national medical stockpile from a number of pharmaceutical companies,” the spokesman said. “Some of these include generous donations funded by Mr Clive Palmer.”

 

Novartis Pharmaceuticals Australia has also confirmed that it will provide doses. And the government is investing $1.5m to support guidance for clinicians to ensure they are given the best possible advice on managing Covid-19 patients.

 

An infectious diseases expert and former World Health Organization adviser, Prof Peter Collignon, said he was concerned the stockpiling was being driven by hype and panic.

 

“It a very bad idea to have panic driving drugs we are going to give to people and chloroquine is just an example of panic,” Collignon said.

 

“It is very important to look at and evaluate these drugs around the world but to only issue these drugs after that evaluation. Or we run the risk of killing people.

 

“I would be worried about it being made available in the absence of strong trials and doctors make panicked decisions. Panic can blur good science and doing things safely.”

 

He said Australia was not overwhelmed with patients in hospitals like New York and London were, so Australia had time to make careful and considered clinical decisions.

 

Dr Sacha Stelzer-Braid, a senior scientist in the virology research lab at the University of New South Wales and the Prince of Wales hospital, said while laboratory studies using hydroxychloroquine to inactivate the virus look promising, we still needed to be cautious about the possible use of the drug to shorten the duration of infection or even possibly prevent infection, if used prophylactically in healthcare workers, for example.

George Pell's legal woes far from over: Cardinal will still have to face a surge of civil cases from alleged sexual abuse victims after being cleared of molesting two choirboys

 

Cardinal George Pell's legal woes are far from over even after he walked from prison a free man with his child sexual abuse convictions overturned.

 

Australia's most senior Catholic faces at least 10 potential civil lawsuits claiming he either molested other boys or covered up abuse by fellow priests.

 

One claim was filed in the Victorian Supreme Court last year by a victim of notorious paedophile priest Edward 'Ted' Dowlan, alleging Pell did nothing to protect him.

 

Melbourne lawyer Vivian Waller is handling eight other civil cases against the 78-year-old clergyman and more are expected from other complainants.

 

Pell was jailed for six years in 2018 for sexually abusing two choirboys in Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne in 1996.

 

Two of three Court of Appeals justices upheld the jury's verdict last year but a full bench of the High Court unanimously quashed the convictions.

 

Many of the alleged victims were waiting until after the High Court appeal before launching their own cases, so a flurry of suits could hit courts within days.

 

They include the father of one of the two choirboys Pell was convicted of molesting in St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne in 1996, before it was overturned by the High Court on Tuesday.

 

The father, who can't be named, of the choirboy codenamed R blames Pell for his son spiralling into a drug addiction that led to his heroin overdose death in 2014.

 

The sole already-filed case concerns a man who was abused during Dowlan's time at East Melbourne's Cathedral College between 1982 and 1988.

 

He claims Pell knew of Dowlan's criminal ways and was complicit in moving him between schools across the state, allowing the abuse to continue.

 

Dowlan admitted abusing boys since 1971 when he was among a ring of pedophiles at St Alipius Primary School in Ballarat that included predators Robert Best and Gerald Ridsdale.

 

Pell was the episcopal vicar for education in the Ballarat diocese from 1973 to 1984.

 

Bishop of Ballarat Paul Bird, Archbishop of Melbourne Peter Comensoli and the Catholic Education Commission, are also named in the suit.

 

Lawyer Michael Magazanik, representing the applicant victim, told the court last year there was no question the abuse occurred and his client had been compensated for it previously.

 

The diocese of Ballarat or the Catholic Church's insurers would most likely bear the brunt of the lawsuits as under new laws the church entity that is able to fund the legal proceedings is named as the primary defendant.

 

Pell and any other parties could still be named on the lawsuit in addition.

 

The newly-released cardinal has little money to mount a defence or pay damages. His criminal defence was paid for by wealthy benefactors.

Jubelin convicted and fined $10,000 over illegal recordings during Tyrrell case

 

The former lead investigator on the William Tyrrell case has been convicted and fined $10,000 for illegally recording four conversations during the investigation into the toddler's disappearance.

 

William, 3, vanished from his foster-grandmother's home at Kendall on the NSW Mid North Coast in September 2014.

 

Gary Jubelin, 57, a former detective chief inspector, recorded four conversations with a person of interest, Paul Savage, without the 75-year-old's knowledge between November 2017 and December 2018.

 

Three of the conversations were at Mr Savage's Kendall home, while a fourth was recorded when Jubelin put his phone on loudspeaker at police headquarters in Sydney and told another officer to record.

 

Jubelin maintained that he made the recordings to protect his lawful interest, but Magistrate Ross Hudson rejected that defence this week and found him guilty of all four charges. He found Jubelin "acted illegally" and pursued Mr Savage at all costs, "whether in the realms of the law or not".

 

On Wednesday, Magistrate Hudson said illegal recording "strikes across the heart, nature, extent and purpose of the Surveillance Devices Act" as he convicted Jubelin on each charge and fined him $2500 for each.

 

Speaking outside court, Jubelin said he is “obviously disappointed” and has lodged an appeal.

 

Magistrate Hudson said impacts of illegal recording have to be noted, including a court case potentially being thrown out, and the sentence should send a message to Jubelin, police and members of the public that illegal recording "won't be accepted or tolerated".

 

High-profile supporters of Jubelin – including NSW Greens politician David Shoebridge, former NSW Police deputy commissioner Nick Kaldas, and barrister Mark Tedeschi QC – earlier gave evidence that he has always acted with the utmost integrity.

 

Crown prosecutor Philip Hogan told the court there may be a view that "the ends justify the means" given the seriousness of William's disappearance, but the offending was "very serious" and "infringes fundamental civil rights".

 

"He chose to break the law, he knew he was breaking the law, it wasn't isolated," Mr Hogan said. "There is a complete absence of contrition and remorse."

 

Jubelin's barrister Margaret Cunneen, SC, said her client has faced significant punishment, including media attention, and on Wednesday a man shouted at him in the street: "we're gonna have fun in jail mate, you deserve it, you're scum".

 

Ms Cunneen said Jubelin "made a mistake, perhaps because of the pressure of the work he was under". She said Jubelin was also facing difficulties in his personal life at the time, which might explain why "he cut corners, one might say, to the extent of criminality in these four offences."

 

Written character references were also tendered to the court, including from victims' advocates.

 

Mr Shoebridge, a former barrister, said the Surveillance Devices Act is "an important piece of legislation" and described himself as "a person concerned about civil liberties". He said notwithstanding that, "I've come to give a character reference for Gary Jubelin".

 

Former senior crown prosecutor Mr Tedeschi said Jubelin is "a man of good character and the utmost integrity". He said he happened upon Jubelin in Parramatta after the allegations were made against him, and tried to convince him to remain an officer.

 

"His loss to the force is a loss to the state of NSW," Mr Tedeschi said.

 

Mr Kaldas, who led the homicide squad for several years, said Jubelin was ethical, displayed integrity, and was a "very committed, tenacious investigator".

 

"He is one of the hardest workers I've ever seen in the NSW Police Force," Mr Kaldas said.

 

William's foster-mother, who cannot be named, said when Jubelin was first assigned to her son's case she was told by politicians including former premier Mike Baird that "he was the man we needed, he was the guy who was going to get it done."

 

She became emotional when she said Jubelin invested himself in the case and "got to know William".

 

"We just felt that this is a man who wants to solve this," she said. "I think the NSW Police Force has lost one of their best."

 

Jubelin, who resigned from NSW Police in 2019, is now a journalist for The Sunday Telegraph.

Scott Morrison gives Easter message to Australians as COVID-19 pandemic restrictions hit long weekend

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has urged all Australians to embrace a changed Easter this weekend as the nation continues its battle against the coronavirus pandemic.

 

"Easter in Australia will be different this year, as it will be all around the world," Mr Morrison said in a video address to the nation.

 

"It's still true that we'll be able to gather together in our immediate family, but there won't be the opportunity for that extended family gathering, special times I know, as well as going off to church and our religious services where we can remember the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ."

 

He said COVID-19 means this Easter will be different and all must remain at home.

 

"It's important because we cannot undo the tremendous progress we have made together in recent times. So, this Easter we are staying at home. Don't travel. Don't go away," he said.

 

"For Christians, not being able to gather does not diminish the hope that we have through this important Easter period. This year, we will live out our faith by doing the right thing."

 

Mr Morrison said this means staying at home and making sure to check on neighbours and support communities and families, our friends.

 

"That's what living our faith is all about," he said.

 

"So as we go into this Easter long weekend, whatever your religious views might be, I do wish you a Happy Easter, Australia.

 

"I hope it is a time as you come together in your homes, together with your immediate family, that it will be a strong reminder about what's most important."

How Australia IGNORED the World Health Organisation and stayed one step ahead on COVID-19 - after the WHO argued against closing the border, refused to call the virus a 'pandemic' and heaped praise on China

 

World Health Organisation rakes in $8.4M in fees plus tens of millions more a year from Australian taxpayers

But it stalled on declaring a pandemic, told countries to keep their borders open and heaped praise on China

Liberal MPs Andrew Hastie and Dave Sharma have slammed the 'political' organisation for its shortcomings

The Australian government has largely ignored the WHO and forged its own path toward stopping the virus

 

Australia appears to be finally flattening the infection curve in its battle against COVID-19 after the government decisively chose to ignore the World Health Organisation and respond to the pandemic in its own way.

 

That's the view of Liberal MP Andrew Hastie, who told Daily Mail Australia the WHO has badly let Australia down by being 'glacially slow' to respond to the coronavirus crisis.

 

Australian taxpayers give the WHO $8.4million a year, as well a regular top-up payments, which in 2018 reached a staggering $57 million.

 

But the UN organisation stalled on declaring a pandemic, told countries to keep borders open and heaped praise on China despite the Communist Party's appalling attempt to cover up the outbreak, which erupted in Wuhan in December.

 

WHO copped the wrath of US President Donald Trump on Tuesday when he called it 'China-centric' and threatened to withhold funding.

 

The Australian government has forged its own path toward stopping the virus, managing to already bring down infection rates and slow the spread of the deadly disease, without following advice from the WHO.

Child sexual abuse victims should not be put off by George Pell decision, experts say

 

It would be ‘legally wrong’ to conclude that the high court ruling undermined the point of bringing cases to trial, professor says

 

Victims of child sexual abuse should not be dissuaded from coming forward and reporting perpetrators as a result of the jury conviction of Cardinal George Pell being overturned by the high court, a barrister and professor of law at La Trobe University in Melbourne says.

 

Prof Gideon Boas said he was concerned by those questioning the merit of future cases brought in the criminal or civil jurisdiction based on the Pell ruling.

 

“It would be unfortunate and legally wrong if the message in the community was that the high court’s ruling has weakened the strength of, or point in, bringing such cases to court or making properly founded allegations,” Boas said. “The risk to this kind of messaging is that victims will give up or not bother coming forward. The bottom line is that the ruling will have little or no effect on civil cases and limited effect on future criminal cases.”

 

He said the Pell case had a set of unique and complex circumstances that would not necessarily be a factor in other jury trials.

 

“However, any case with an allegation of abuse that is historical and decades ago will have evidentiary issues, especially in cases with only one surviving complainant,” he said. “It doesn’t mean cases with one complainant are not capable of succeeding going forward.”

 

Boas added that the jurors who convicted Pell should not feel as though they had failed, and that the public should not read the high court decision as a challenge to the sanctity of the jury.

 

“Victoria’s court of appeal upheld the jury decision by a majority, and the high court went the other way,” Boas said. “I’ve heard it said a lot in this case: ‘how could the jury get it so wrong when the high court decided unanimously it was an unreasonable verdict?’

 

“My response is: what’s to say the high court had it right? You had a jury process that functioned, you had a court of appeal that by majority agreed with them, and gave it serious consideration, and a high court who saw it differently. There is no system that is flawless. Some juries will give verdicts that are perverse or unreasonable and, sometimes, so will judges. But victims should know that overturning a jury decision happens rarely.”

 

On Tuesday the high court ordered Pell’s immediate release from prison and quashed his convictions finding the jury, acting rationally on the whole of the evidence, ought to have entertained a reasonable doubt as to Pell’s guilt. There was “strong, credible and undispelled” alibi evidence presented at trial, including from the master of ceremonies at the time, Monsignor Charles Portelli, and sacristan Max Potter, that it was Pell’s practice to greet parishioners on the front steps of the cathedral immediately after mass, which would have made it impossible for Pell to be in the sacristy offending, Pell’s defence barrister Bret Walker had told the high court.

 

But what are victims to make of the fact that jurors are told throughout a trial that it is up to them who they believe and whether they accept all, some, or none of the evidence from witnesses? That it was open to them, in other words, to believe the complainant but not in the reliability of other witnesses called.

 

A professor the Queensland University of Technology faculty of Law, Ben Mathews, said it was “a fantastic question that’s really difficult to answer”.

 

“It gets grey and murky and one thing that helps create this is the this tension in different court conclusions about the indeterminate notion of reasonable doubt,” he said. “So you have different courts and individuals making judgments about whether reasonable doubt should have been present when that concept isn’t even defined. The reason for that lack of definition in Australia is we put the trust in juries to make the decision.”

Ship at center of virus outbreak raided by Australian police

2 hours ago

 

"BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Police wearing protective gear boarded a cruise ship to seize evidence and question crew members of the vessel linked to hundreds of coronavirus infections and 15 deaths across Australia.

 

About 2,700 passengers disembarked from the ship on March 19 in Sydney and it has since become the largest source of coronavirus infections in Australia. More than 600 cases of COVID-19 and 15 deaths are linked the to the ship, the Ruby Princess.

 

New South Wales police, which boarded the ship Wednesday night at Port Kembla south of Sydney, said it’s expected to remain in port for 10 days with its 1,040 crew undergoing medical assessments. About 200 crew have shown symptoms of COVID-19, while 18 have tested positive for the virus that causes it. The workers remaining on the ship are from 50 countries.

 

New South Wales police Commissioner Mick Fuller said Thursday that officers seized a black box “very similar to that of international planes” and other evidence. He said the captain had been extremely helpful.

 

“I can confirm there’s still over 1,000 crew members on the ship,” he said, adding that three-quarters of them want to remain on the ship. “They feel safe on the ship and I think that’s a good outcome.”

 

The ship’s owner, Princess Cruises, is a subsidiary of the Carnival Corporation. Carnival Australia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

On Thursday, Australia recorded its lowest increase in coronavirus cases in more than three weeks.

 

Health Minister Greg Hunt said there were 96 new cases, the first time there have been fewer than 100 a day since March 17. The peak was on March 28, when 457 cases were recorded. There have been a total of just over 6,000 and 51 deaths in Australia from the virus.

 

Seeking to limit the impact on the economy, lawmakers passed a wage subsidy program late Wednesday worth 130 billion Australian dollars ($81 billion)."

Pope Francis accused of comparing convicted child abuser cardinal to Jesus after controversial comments

7 Apr, 2020 13:17 / Updated 1 day ago

 

"Pope Francis has faced fierce criticism online after appearing to compare Cardinal Pell, recently acquitted of five child sexual abuse offenses during the 1990s, to Jesus Christ himself.

 

During a Mass celebrated at his residence in Santa Marta on Tuesday morning, the Pope prayed for those suffering the “persecution that Jesus suffered,” including those who had been subjected to “unjust sentences.”

 

The message came mere hours after Australia’s highest court acquitted 78-year-old former Vatican economy minister Cardinal George Pell of child sexual abuse in one of the most high-profile cases in the Catholic Church to date."

‘Crossfire Typhoon’: Here Is A 171-Page Transcript Of Ex-Trump Aide’s Secret Conversation With An FBI Informant

 

Weeks before the 2016 presidential election, the FBI relied on a friend of George Papadopoulos to secretly record the then-Trump campaign aide during a conversation over lunch and a visit to a casino, according to a 171-page transcript of the secretly recorded conversation obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

 

The transcript shows that Papadopoulos repeatedly denied that the Trump campaign was working with Russia to hack and release emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign.

 

He also dismissed allegations circulating at the time that the Russian government was behind the hacks.

 

“That’s all bullshit,” Papadopoulos told the source after he brought up the topic of Russia’s possible interests in helping the Trump campaign.

 

The FBI had for three months before the interaction been investigating whether the Trump campaign was conspiring with the Russian government to influence the election. The bureau opened “Crossfire Hurricane,” the code name for the probe, on July 31, 2016 after receiving a tip from the Australian government related to Papadopoulos.

 

Papadopoulos is referred to as “Crossfire Typhoon” in the FBI transcript, which was declassified on April 1.

 

The FBI used multiple undercover sources in the investigation, including at least two who met with Papadopoulos. Stefan Halper, a former Cambridge professor, met with and secretly recorded Papadopoulos and Carter Page, another Trump campaign aide, prior to the election.

 

Halper approached Papadopoulos on Sept. 2, 2016 to invite the young Trump associate to London under the guise of discussing a research project regarding energy issues. During their visit, Halper tried to pry loose information from Papadopoulos related to Russia. Papadopoulos repeatedly denied involvement in Russia’s hacking efforts.

 

Halper had worked as a confidential human source (CHS) for the FBI since 2008, according to a Justice Department inspector general’s report of Crossfire Hurricane.

 

The IG report blasted the FBI for failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) about exculpatory information that both Papadopoulos and Page told the FBI’s informants during their many conversations.

 

The FBI obtained the first of four wiretap warrants against Page on Oct. 21, 2016.

 

The IG report said that the FBI “did not inform” the Justice Department’s Office of Intelligence about Papadopoulos’s conversations in three renewals to spy on Page.

 

“The subsequent FISA renewal applications on Carter Page did not include these statements,” the IG report stated.

 

The transcript shows that the FBI source repeatedly prodded Papadopoulos for information on the Trump campaign and Russia. During one exchange, Papadopoulos told the source that the Chinese government, Iranian government, or a supporter of Bernie Sanders could have been behind the hack of Democrats’ emails.

 

“It’s all, it’s like conspiracy theories,” Papadopoulos said.

Australian MPs call for release of Julian Assange to home detention as Covid-19 ‘rapidly spreads’ in UK prisons

 

There are new calls from Australia to release Julian Assange from prison over Covid-19 fears. Two MPs, supported on Twitter by the whistleblower’s mother, sent letters to UK authorities calling for his release to home detention.

 

Australian MPs Andrew Wilkie and George Christensen, co-chairs of the Bring Julian Assange Home Parliamentary Group, wrote to UK Commons Justice Committee Chair Bob Neill MP and Secretary of State for Justice Robert Buckland MP calling for “urgent” consideration of Assange’s case in light of the fact that Covid-19 is “rapidly spreading” in British prisons.

 

Assange’s release is important as he would be a “high risk” patient if he contracted the virus given that he has a pre-existing chronic lung condition, they said. The first death due to Covid-19 at Belmarsh Prison, where Assange is being held, was reported on Tuesday.

Sydney man arrested following AFP online child abuse investigation

 

A 52-year-old Sydney man has been charged following an Australian Federal Police (AFP) investigation into allegations the man was accessing child abuse material online.

 

The man was arrested yesterday (Thursday, 9 April 2020) after officers from the AFP’s Eastern Command Child Protection Operations executed search warrants at the man’s St Ives home.

 

The investigation into the man’s online activities began following a National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) report to the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) who identified he had transmitted approximately 115 files identified as child abuse material (CAM) to an online social networking account.

 

During yesterday’s search warrant, police seized a number of items and digital devices which will be subject to further forensic examination.

 

The man was charged with possessing child abuse material obtained or accessed using a carriage service, contrary to 474.22A of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). The maximum penalty for this offence is 15 years imprisonment.

 

He was refused police bail and is due to face Sydney Central Local Court today (Friday 10 April).

 

AFP Commander Investigations Eastern Command, Kirsty Schofield, said that the AFP is working diligently to combat all forms of child exploitation during these challenging times.

 

“Despite the strain on society and our officers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are focusing ever more on protecting children from exploitation online, especially as we see people spending more time online due to self-isolation,” Commander Schofield said.

 

“This remains and will continue to remain a vital priority for us. We will never stop targeting these criminals to ensure the safety of our community’s most vulnerable.”

 

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in the possession or sharing of child exploitation material are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

 

You can also make a report online by alerting the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation via the Report Abuse button at www.accce.gov.au/report

 

The Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) works alongside key stakeholders and partners to drive a collective global effort to counter the epidemic of child exploitation. It provides an integrated and collaborative capability to ensure cohesion by using the expertise of federal, state and territory, non-government agencies and private industry, and by allowing a cross-pollination of resources, knowledge and skillsets between stakeholders.

 

Note to media: USE OF TERMS ‘CHILD ABUSE’, NOT ‘CHILD PORNOGRAPHY’

 

Use of the phrase “child pornography” benefits child sex abusers because it:

 

  • indicates legitimacy and compliance on the part of the victim and therefore legality on the part of the abuser; and

 

  • conjures images of children posing in ‘provocative’ positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse.

 

Every photograph captures an actual situation where a child has been abused. This is not “pornography”.

WA man charged over alleged illicit firearms stash

 

A 65-year-old man is due to face Perth Magistrate’s Court today (Friday 10 April) after the Western Australia National Anti-Gangs Squad allegedly found a cache of firearms at his Dianella home, with four guns hidden in the roof space.

 

WA NAGS investigators also allegedly discovered parts of a licensed shotgun hidden under the bed in the master bedroom when they executed a Misuse of Drugs Act search warrant at the Dianella property yesterday morning (Thursday, 9 April).

 

A total of eight firearms, including three unlicensed rifles and an unlicensed shotgun, and 600 rounds of incorrectly stored ammunition were seized from the home.

 

Police allege two of the unlicensed guns had the serial numbers removed and two were reported stolen from historical burglaries.

 

The 65-year-old has been charged with:

 

  • one count of an unlicensed person came into possession of three or more firearms, contrary to section 19(1ab) of the Firearms Act 1973 (WA)

 

  • six counts of fail to ensure safe-keeping of a firearm/ammunition, contrary to section 23(9d) of the Firearms Act 1973 (WA)

 

  • one count of possess drug paraphernalia, contrary to section 7B(6) of the Misuse of Drugs Act (WA)

 

The maximum penalty for unlicensed possession of three or more firearms is 10 years imprisonment, while failure to ensure safe-keeping of a firearm or ammunition carries a potential 12-month jail term.

 

Inquiries are ongoing and investigators have not ruled out laying further charges.

 

Police will also consider recommending the 65-year-old has his firearms licence revoked over concerns about his fitness to legally possess any guns.

 

AFP Commander John Tanti said removing illicit guns from the streets was a priority for police because of the danger they posed to the community if they were in the hands of criminals.

 

“Firearms are often used by drug dealers and outlaw motorcycle gangs in violent crimes or other criminal behaviour,” he said.

 

“Even when criminals are targeting each other, there have been too many examples of innocent people being caught in the deadly crossfire.”

 

“We also want to remind people who lawfully possess firearms to ensure they are safely stored so they are not stolen and fall into the wrong hands,” Commander Tanti said.

 

WA NAGS, comprising of members from the Australian Federal Police, Western Australia Police Force and Australian Taxation Office, targets OMCG involved in the movement of illicit drugs into and within Australia.

Adelaide alleged online sex predator to face court today

 

A 66-year-old man accused of ordering live-stream child abuse is due to face Adelaide Magistrate’s Court today (Friday 10 April) after a South Australia Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team investigation.

 

SA JACET will allege the man viewed, instructed and recorded 21 separate incidences of Live Distant Child Abuse between May and October 2019.

 

He allegedly communicated with people overseas to procure several children – suspected to be as young as three – to produce and transmit the abhorrent sexual activity, which he watched from his Adelaide home.

 

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is working with its international partners to identify and rescue the child victims shown in footage that was allegedly found stored on electronic devices owned by the man, as well as other alleged offenders.

 

SA JACET arrested the man yesterday (Thursday 9 April) after a digital forensic examination of two USBs he owned.

 

The data storage devices were among items seized by police in February 2020 after the man was stopped at Melbourne Airport when he returned on a flight from Singapore.

 

Australian Border Force (ABF) officers allegedly found child abuse material and explicit conversations on his iPhone when they searched his luggage.

 

SA JACET will allege analysis of the man’s financial records show he transferred more than $15,000 to various people in South-East Asia and Africa.

 

Two of these transactions were allegedly recorded after he was stopped at the airport in February.

 

Police are continuing to examine a mobile phone, travel and financial documents and handwritten notes/letters seized from the man’s home yesterday.

 

The 66-year-old is expected to appear in court via video-link charged with:

 

  • 12 counts of accessing child pornography using a carriage service, contrary to section 474.19(1)(a)(i) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth)

 

  • 5 counts of accessing child abuse material using a carriage service, contrary to section 474.22(1)(a)(i) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth)

 

  • 4 counts of obtain child pornography material outside of Australia, contrary to section 273.5(1)(i) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth)

 

  • 2 counts of procuring sexual activity (other than sexual intercourse) with a child outside of Australia, contrary to sub-sections 11.2(1) and 272.9(2) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth)

 

  • 1 count of accessing child abuse material using a carriage services, in circumstances of aggravation, contrary to section 474.24A of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth)

 

The maximum penalties for these offences range from 15 to 25 years imprisonment.

 

The man is also facing charges of possession of child abuse outside of Australia and importing Tier 2 goods, which were laid after his arrest at Melbourne Airport.

 

AFP Assistant Commissioner for the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) and Child Protection Lesa Gale said offences against children are increasing and international borders are no hindrance to predators.

 

“It is why the partnerships that Home Affairs agencies; the AFP, ABF and the ACCCE have formed – nationally and internationally - are critical to our efforts to protect children no matter where they live and prosecute everyone involved in this unimaginable and repulsive crime,” she said.

 

“It is heart-breaking that vulnerable children are being degraded and injured to satisfy predators and the impact of this abuse continues long after the images or videos are recorded.”

 

Assistant Commissioner Gale warned that authorities are already seeing an increase in demand for child abuse material as predators spend more time online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

“We believe predators will be trawling online for potential new victims as children also spend more time online – often with limited adult supervision,” she said.

 

“We urge parents to talk to their children about what apps and sites they are visiting to help keep them safe.

 

“We also want to assure the community that we remain focused on combatting child exploitation, despite the challenges created by COVID-19,” Assistant Commissioner Gale said.

 

Detective Superintendent Mark Wieszyk, OC Public Protection Branch of the South Australia Police said law enforcement is working together.

 

“The SA JACET is a dedicated team of investigators that work closely together to combat child exploitation. The members of the team work tirelessly to keep children safe and from being exploited,” he said.

‘Illegal’ to make unsubstantiated claims of COVID-19 cure

 

Published on 9 Apr 2020

 

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly warns there “is no specific treatment” proven to cure COVID-19 despite a number of medications in development or clinical trials.

 

“Please be wary of claims that there is a cure for this virus,” Professor Kelly said.

 

“To claim that there is a cure for this virus without being able to substantiate those claims is illegal in Australia.”

WTAF!! More draconian control measures. How is it illegal to claim something? I suppose all those studies being done by scientists and doctors using hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin and people being cured would substantiate the "claim" that these actually do cure China flu.

Belmarsh ‘barely functioning’: Assange tells friend Covid-19 is raging through British prison

 

Julian Assange has revealed to a friend the harrowing details of his life in Belmarsh. WikiLeaks founder is still confined at the UK maximum security prison, despite it being stricken with the novel coronavirus.

 

Covid-19 has spread around Belmarsh to such an extent that the prison is “barely functioning” any more at all, British freelance video journalist Vaughan Smith has revealed in a Facebook post, after talking with Assange by phone.

 

As many as 150 prison staff members have been forced into self-isolation as they might have contracted the coronavirus, Smith said. The prison admitted in mid-March that the disease already reached it premises and even reported one coronavirus-linked inmate death.

 

Assange told Smith that the real death toll might well be higher, since “the virus is ripping through the prison.”

 

The WikiLeaks founder has to spend almost 24 hours alone in his cell as the prison apparently strives to limit any contact to stem the spread of the disease. Yet Assange and other inmates still spend the half an hour of exercise they are still allowed in a yard crowded with others, according to his friend.

 

Smith has already reported on the WikiLeaks founder’s condition in Belmarsh before. The journalist, who has apparently known Assange for years, raised alarm about his health back in 2019 following another phone call, which made Smith think his friend had been drugged in jail.

 

The Prison Governors’ Association recently said that 15,000 non-violent inmates should be released from British jails to stop the spread of the Covid-19 there. The Justice Department then suggested releasing just 4,000 of them. Only some 100 people have been set free, Smith notes, adding that Assange apparently did not make the list.

 

Assange's treatment by the British authorities is nothing short of a “national disgrace,” the journalist said. The UK has refused to set him free despite repeated pleas from various activists, doctors, Australian MPs and even the UN torture rapporteur. The British government has also carries on with Assange's extradition hearings, at a time when he is unable to consult with his lawyers to properly prepare his defense, Smith added.

 

Even Iran – a nation that the UK likes to scold over supposed human rights violations – has released a British-Iranian journalist and aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and thousands of other inmates, as part of its response to the Covid-19 outbreak, Smith noted. The UK considers her a victim of political persecution by Tehran.

 

So far, there has been no indication that London is about to make a similar move in the case of Assange, who has been denied bail by the British justice system as he awaits a decision on his extradition to the US, on clearly political charges of conspiring to hack government computers and breaking espionage laws.

 

https://www.rt.com/news/485548-assange-belmarsh-prison-covid-19/

 

 

Vaughan Smith Facebook Post

 

Julian Assange called me yesterday from Belmarsh prison. His incarceration in the time of Covid 19 threatens his life.

 

Julian is now confined alone in a cell for 23 1/2 hours every day. He gets half an hour of exercise and that is in a yard crowded with other prisoners. With over 150 Belmarsh prison staff off work self-isolating, the prison is barely functioning.

 

We know of 2 Covid 19 deaths in Belmarsh so far, though the Department of Justice have admitted to only one death. Julian told me that there have been more and that the virus is ripping through the prison.

 

The Prison Governors’ Association recently advised that 15,000 non-violent prisoners should be released to give British jails a chance of managing COVID-19.

 

The Department of Justice suggested releasing 4,000 prisoners but as of a few days ago, only about 100 had actually been released.

 

Julian is only on remand and is obviously non-violent but he is not one of them and Magistrate Vanessa Baraitser ruled against bail for Julian when his lawyers applied for it last week.

 

Despite Covid 19, Julian’s hearing has been confirmed to still somehow start on 18 May and Julian is convinced this is happening to disadvantage him legally. Unable to meet with his lawyers he cannot prepare his defence properly.

Cardinal George Pell writes about suffering, jail and coronavirus in News Corp piece

 

Cardinal writes in the Australian that ‘God-fearers’ are better able to deal with evil and suffering than atheists

 

Cardinal George Pell has used an Easter opinion piece to argue “God-fearers” are better able to deal with evil and suffering than atheists, pointing to his own experience of “13 months in jail for a crime I didn’t commit”.

 

Pell was released from prison on Tuesday after Australia’s high court quashed five convictions for child sexual abuse, over allegations he assaulted two choirboys at a Melbourne cathedral in the 1990s.

 

In a piece published in the Australian, Pell wrote that everyone suffered, prompting the questions “Why is there so much evil and suffering? And why did this happen to me?”

 

But he said that “a fundamental difference between God-fearers and secularists today is found in the approach to suffering”. Pell used his imprisonment to further the point.

 

“I have just spent 13 months in jail for a crime I didn’t commit, one disappointment after another,” he wrote.

 

“I knew God was with me, but I didn’t know what He was up to, although I realised He has left all of us free,” Pell wrote. “But with every blow it was a consolation to know I could offer it to God for some good purpose like turning the mass of suffering into spiritual energy.”

 

Pell wrote that the sexual abuse crisis damaged thousands of victims and that “from many points of view the crisis is also bad for the Catholic church”.

 

Victoria police charged Pell after a man, known as Witness J, came forward in 2014 alleging he and another choirboy were abused at St Patrick’s cathedral in Melbourne in 1996.

 

Witness J, now in his 30s, said he had felt compelled to come forward after the death of the other choirboy.

 

Pell was convicted by a jury in December 2018. An earlier jury was unable to reach a verdict. Pell appealed his conviction, first unsuccessfully in Victoria’s court of appeal, but then successfully in the high court.

 

Following the high court’s ruling, Witness J issued a statement in which he accepted the decision and acknowledged that child sexual abuse was difficult to prove to the standard required by the courts.

 

But he also issued a rallying cry to other survivors.

 

“I would hate to think that one outcome of this case is that people are discouraged from reporting to the police,” he said.

 

The Pell matter is still the subject of a civil claim.

 

The father of the now deceased choirboy is suing the Catholic church and has pledged to continue the case following the quashing of Pell’s conviction.

 

“We will continue to pursue a civil claim on behalf of our client despite the high court’s ruling,” the man’s lawyer, Lisa Flynn from Shine Lawyers, said. “He has suffered immensely and maintains George Pell was responsible for his son’s sudden downward spiral after he abused his son as a young choirboy.”

 

In his Easter message, the cardinal also said Christians were better able to deal with the suffering of the coronavirus pandemic. He described it as a unique moment for people of his generation and younger.

 

“So, too, some would see Covid-19 as a bad time for those who claim to believe in a good and rational God, the Supreme Love and Intelligence, the Creator of the universe,” he said. “And it is a mystery; all suffering, but especially the massive number of deaths through plagues and wars. But Christians can cope with suffering better than the atheists can explain the beauty and happiness of life.”

George Pell Easter message: In the suffering, we find redemption

 

GEORGE PELL

 

Every person suffers. None escapes all the time. Everyone is confronted with a couple of questions. What should I do in this situation? Why is there so much evil and suffering? And why did this happen to me? Why the coronavirus pandemic?

 

The ancient Greeks and Romans thought the gods were capricious, liable to punish without reason. It is claimed that when we wrap up our Christmas presents we are following the ancient practice of those offering a sacrifice to a particular god who would cover it so the other gods would not be jealous.

 

The atheists today believe that the universe, including us, is the product of blind chance, that no transcendent Intelligence exists to help explain our DNA sequence, the 10,000 nerves connected to an eye, the genius of Shakespeare, Michelangelo, Beethoven and Albert Einstein.

 

Another option is a radical agnosticism. We don’t know and perhaps we don’t want to know. Here the agnostics can battle against fate with a Stoic dignity or turn furious, journey into the night “raging against the light”.

 

Easter provides the Christian answer to suffering and living. Christians are monotheists who developed from within the Jewish revelation; they too follow the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They believe that nearly 2000 years ago a young Jew was crucified on a hilltop in Jerusalem, one Friday afternoon, despised and rejected. Everyone saw him die, while a limited number, those with faith, saw him after a miraculous bodily resurrection on the next Sunday. The claim is not that Jesus’ soul goes marching on. It was a return of his entire person from death, breaking the rules of health and physics, as Christians believe this young man was the only Son of God, divine, the Messiah. Jesus’ bones will never be found. To the dismay of many this was a Messiah, who was not a great monarch like David or Solomon, but Isaiah’s suffering servant, who redeems us, enables us to receive forgiveness and enter into a happy eternity.

 

“Behold the wood of the cross on which hangs the Saviour of the World.”

 

My generation and those younger are passing through a unique moment. It is not unprecedented. We were not alive for the Spanish flu pandemic after World War I, somewhat comparable so far, and we have heard of the terrible Black Death in the 14th century, where one-third of the population died in some places. What is new is our capacity to fight the disease intelligently, mitigate the spread.

 

The sexual abuse crisis damaged thousands of victims. From many points of view the crisis is also bad for the Catholic Church, but we have painfully cut out a moral cancer and this is good. So too some would see COVID-19 as a bad time for those who claim to believe in a good and rational God, the Supreme Love and Intelligence, the Creator of the universe. And it is a mystery; all suffering, but especially the massive number of deaths through plagues and wars. But Christians can cope with suffering better than the atheists can explain the beauty and happiness of life.

 

And many, most understand the direction we are heading when it is pointed out that the only Son of God did not have an easy run and suffered more than his share. Jesus redeemed us and we can redeem our suffering by joining it to His and offering it to God.

 

I have just spent 13 months in jail for a crime I didn’t commit, one disappointment after another. I knew God was with me, but I didn’t know what He was up to, although I realised He has left all of us free. But with every blow it was a consolation to know I could offer it to God for some good purpose like turning the mass of suffering into spiritual energy.

Barr on Durham Investigation: ‘Evidence Shows That We’re Not Dealing with Just Mistakes or Sloppiness’

 

U.S. attorney general William Barr implied in an interview Thursday that U.S. Attorney John Durham is prepared to prosecute former intelligence community officials if evidence shows they illegally surveilled the 2016 Trump campaign over allegations of collusion with Russia.

 

Barr, who tasked Durham last May to review the origins of the Russia investigation, told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham that the Connecticut U.S. attorney is “looking to bring to justice people who were engaged in abuses if he can show that there were criminal violations.”

 

“My own view is that the evidence shows that we’re not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness, there was something far more troubling here; and we’re going to get to the bottom of it,” Barr stated. “And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted.”

 

Very little is publicly known of Durham’s work, which has since been upgraded to a criminal investigation, with House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) saying last month that Durham’s investigation “is due to be completed sometime this summer.” But the probe’s scope goes beyond that of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who in recent months has detailed how the FBI abused the FISA process in its Crossfire Hurricane investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign. “[Durham]’s not just looking at the FBI, he’s looking at other agencies, and departments, and also private actors, so it’s a much broader investigation,” Barr explained in December.

 

Durham made headlines for issuing a rare statement saying that he did “not agree” with Horowitz’s assertion that the FBI had an “authorized purpose” for opening Crossfire Hurricane. While former FBI officials were quick to claim that the IG report had exonerated them of wrongdoing — James Comey attributed the FISA abuses to “sloppiness” — Horowitz later clarified that his office “did not” conclude the FBI was unaffected by political bias, because of a lack of evidence to the contrary. Last week, Horowitz released an update of his ongoing audit into the FBI’s transparency protocols which showed that 29 FISA applications reviewed from 2014 to 2019 all included “apparent errors or inadequately supported facts.”

 

Durham has spoken to Italian and Australian officials over contacts between former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos and Maltese academic and alleged Russian asset Joseph Mifsud, who offered to connect Papadopoulos to Russians in possession of “thousands of emails” containing damaging information about then-candidate Hillary Clinton.

 

While Horowitz found that the FBI’s investigation was sufficiently predicated based on a May 2016 memo from former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, which relayed Papadopoulos’s claim that Russian intelligence had damaging information about Clinton ahead of the election, Downer has said publicly that Papadopoulos made “no suggestion” that “there was collusion between Donald Trump or Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russians.”

 

A transcript released this week shows Papadopoulos, in an October 2016 conversation with a confidential FBI source, calling it “bulls***” that Russia had hacked the Democratic National Committee to assist the Trump campaign.

 

Durham is also reportedly scrutinizing a 2017 intelligence community assessment that detailed Russian interference in the 2016 election, and stated that Vladimir Putin “ordered an influence campaign” that “aspired to help” Trump and discredit Clinton. Durham has met multiple times with former National Security Agency director Admiral Michael Rogers, whose agency broke from the FBI and the CIA’s high confidence in the assessment to report moderate confidence and was the “lone exception,” as former CIA Director John Brennan testified in May 2017.

 

A source told Fox News in February that Durham has yet to interview Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — who recommended to former president Obama in 2016 that Rogers be removed. The New York Times reported in December that Durham is investigating what Brennan knew of the infamous Steele dossier, and whether Brennan conferred with Comey regarding it. Horowitz’s December report said that the CIA considered the dossier to be nothing more than an “internet rumor.”

Prince Andrew reunites with ex Sarah Ferguson to deliver gifts to front line workers fighting coronavirus

 

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, reunited to create care packages for a local hospice center in England amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The reunion marks the first time the Duke of York was spotted in public in weeks since his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking scandal led him to formally relinquish his official royal duties.

 

The Duke and Duchess of York, both 60, were photographed side-by-side as they put together care packages ahead of the Easter holiday. The photos were shared by Antonia Marshall, Ferguson's assistant, on Instagram.

 

"@sarahferguson15 and @hrhthedukeofyork packing all the care packages for #thameshospice in Windsor today. The York Family are a wonderful and steadfast unit and through this crisis, are continously helping others. So proud of them all," Marshall captioned the post.

 

In the photos, Andrew stands alongside his former wife as they package cupcakes decorated with the words "Thank you" on them into small pink bags. The packages also appear to include bottles of lotion and baked goods wrapped in cellophane and colorful bows.

 

Other shots include the Duke of York carrying a box containing dozens of care packages as he pays the hospice center a visit to deliver them.

 

He appears relaxed and in good spirits when joined by hospice workers outside of the facility in Windsor. He was casually dressed in black pants and a burgundy shirt for the occasion.

 

Queen Elizabeth II's son was previously spotted alongside his mother at a church service in Norfolk in January.

 

He also attended a memorial service for Sir Malcolm Ross in Windsor last month, although his attendance was not included in the royal family's official record of events known as the Court Circular, according to the Daily Mail.

 

In late 2019, Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre did a BBC interview in which she described being trafficked to London in 2001. She told the outlet Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, took her to a club where she met Prince Andrew.

 

Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with Andrew on three occasions nearly 20 years ago, when she was 17.

 

Both Andrew and Buckingham Palace have denied Giuffre's allegations on multiple occasions. The palace said in December it "emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”

Resignations in the news

 

NSW minister Don Harwin resigns over breach of coronavirus public health order

 

The New South Wales premier, Gladys Berejiklian, has accepted the resignation of her arts minister, Don Harwin, after he was fined $1,000 for staying at his Central Coast holiday home in breach of a Covid-19 public health order.

 

As governments around Australia were urging their citizens to stay home over Easter, Harwin was spotted earlier in the week at his Pearl Beach house, more than an hour’s drive from his east Sydney primary residence.

 

Harwin maintained he sought formal advice that his living arrangements complied with the direction for people to stay at home, and that he acted in accordance with those orders.

 

But he says the controversy over his getaway was a “distraction” for the government at a critical time.

 

“There is nothing more important than the work of the government in fighting the coronavirus crisis,” Harwin said in a statement.

 

“I will not allow my circumstances to be a distraction from that work and I very much regret that my residential arrangements have become an issue during this time.

 

“At all times I have sought to act in accordance with public health orders and I sought advice that my living arrangements complied with those orders. I remain confident that I have acted in accordance with those orders. I know however that perception is just as important during these times.

 

“The premier and her team are doing an outstanding job during the biggest crisis our state and nation have faced during our lifetimes. It is absolutely vital they should be able to focus entirely on the health and economic issues facing our community.”

Seafood Industry Australia CEO Jane Lovell resigns

 

Seafood Industry Australia (SIA), the national body that represents the wild catch, aquaculture, and post-harvest sectors, announced on 9 April the resignation of its chief executive officer, Jane Lovell.

 

Lovell was hired as the group’s inaugural CEO in September 2017. The industry group gave no reason for the departure, but said the resignation was “effective immediately.” On her LinkedIn page, Lovell is listed as the CEO of Melbourne, Australia-based Organic Systems and Solutions, a private company working on development and certification of organic products, but neither Lovell nor the company confirmed the appointment.

 

The resignation comes at a difficult time for SIA’s members, as the coronavirus crisis has resulted in the evaporation of exports to China, a top destination for Australian seafood, as well as a collapse of prices in the domestic market. Lovell had helped lead negotiations with the federal and various state governments to get help for industry members. Earlier this month, Australia’s government approved an AUD 110 million (USD 67 million, EUR 61 million) aid package focused on keeping the industry afloat and helping it to revive its exports.

 

As recently as yesterday, Lovell was doing interviews with local media, including an article in Australia’s Financial Review in which she discussed the challenging situation the seafood industry is facing.

 

“It has been really, really bad for us. From 24 January, our orders disappeared. People lost export markets in a day,” she said.

 

In the interview, Lovell praised the aid package but said fishermen were not getting the same treatment and support from the government as Australia’s farmers.

 

“The grim truth is that when it was just us getting knocked for six, there was no assistance. When the whole economy collapses, we get a bit of help,” she said.

 

SIA Chairperson Veronica Papacosta, the managing director of Sydney Fresh Seafood Group, will act as CEO until an interim CEO is appointed.

 

“On behalf of the SIA board, staff, and our body of members, we want to thank Jane for her passionate advocacy,” Papacosta said in a press release. “Her departure marks a period of transformation and growth for SIA, and now it is time for us to look towards the future. Jane served the industry tirelessly during her tenure, we thank her for her leadership and passion. We wish her every success in her future endeavors."

WATCH: Julian Assange's newly revealed partner, and mother of their 2 young children, speaks for the first time: Urges UK government to bail her vulnerable fiance amid #coronavirus fears

WikiLeaks boss Julian Assange fathered two children inside the Ecuadorian embassy with lawyer, 37, who fell in love with him while helping his fight against extradition to the US

 

Julian Assange secretly fathered two sons while holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

 

Gabriel, aged two, and his one-year-old brother Max were conceived while their father was hiding out to avoid extradition to America, where he faces espionage charges over the leaking of thousands of classified US intelligence documents.

 

At the time, Assange, 48, was also wanted in Sweden where he was accused of rape. He has always denied the sex allegations, which have now been dropped.

 

The boys' mother is 37-year-old South African-born lawyer Stella Morris, who fell in love with the controversial WikiLeaks founder five years ago while visiting him to work on a legal bid to halt the extraditions.

 

The couple have been engaged since 2017.

 

At the time that Gabriel was conceived in 2016, Assange had been inside the embassy, close to Harrods, for four years and was believed to be under constant surveillance by American security services.

 

However, a round-the-clock policing operation by Scotland Yard had been withdrawn following a public backlash over the spiralling £13.2 million cost.

 

It is understood the couple also managed to keep their relationship and the birth of their children secret from Ecuadorian diplomats and officials who had given Assange refuge.

 

Australian-born Assange is currently being held at the high-security Belmarsh Prison.

 

He has been there since last April when police dragged him from the embassy following a seven-year stand-off.

 

The revelation about his secret family emerged last week in court papers, seen by The Mail on Sunday, about the US extradition case and an attempt by Assange to secure bail as Covid-19 sweeps through the prison population.

 

Now, in a world exclusive interview, Miss Morris reveals how:

 

  • Assange watched both children being born in London hospitals via live video link and met Gabriel when he was smuggled into the embassy;

 

  • They believe American intelligence agencies tried to steal Gabriel's DNA from a nappy after becoming suspicious that Assange was his father;

 

  • The couple will marry behind bars unless Assange is released;

 

  • Both boys, who are British citizens, have visited their father in prison;

 

  • The Duchess of Beaufort, the former actress Tracy Ward, and British rapper M.I.A are the children's godmothers.

 

  • The news will come as a bombshell to Assange's friends and enemies since he was widely understood to have led a near-monastic life since entering the embassy in 2012.

 

Instead, as The Mail on Sunday's exclusive pictures show, he was a hands-on father, playing with his baby son under the noses of his increasingly hostile Ecuadorian hosts and the 24-hour a day scrutiny of US intelligence agencies.

 

Miss Morris is revealing their long-term relationship and the existence of their sons because she fears Assange's life is at serious risk if he remains in Belmarsh, where one inmate has already died of Covid-19.

 

She is pleading for her fiance to be released under Government plans to free thousands of prisoners to quell the spread of the deadly virus between bars.

 

Miss Morris says Assange is doubly vulnerable because he suffers from a chronic lung condition exacerbated by his years inside the embassy and has mental health issues which become more severe as a result of isolation.

 

She said last night: 'I love Julian deeply and I am looking forward to marrying him.

 

'Over the past five years I have discovered that love makes the most intolerable circumstances seem bearable but this is different – I am now terrified I will not see him alive again.

 

'Julian has been fiercely protective of me and has done his best to shield me from the nightmares of his life.

Peter Dutton warns that coronavirus is 'much more serious than people realise' as he is finally cleared of the deadly disease

 

Peter Dutton has warned Australians that the deadly coronavirus is a lot more 'serious than people realise' after coming out of isolation.

 

The Home Affairs Minister tested positive to the virus on March 13 and was admitted to hospital in Brisbane that night.

 

On Wednesday the 49-year-old was finally able to leave isolation after suffering symptoms on and off for nearly a month.

 

Speaking to Ray Hadley on 2GB on Thursday morning, Mr Dutton urged everyone to take the disease seriously and said it wouldn't be gone anytime soon.

 

'This is a much more serious disease than people realise,' he said.

 

'I had flu-like symptoms to start with, then felt on top of the world within four or five days, but it's the second week… it sneaks back up on you.'

 

Mr Dutton said despite at times he felt better, there were days he feared he would be admitted back to hospital.

 

'It lingers and it comes back and it can come back in force,' he said.

 

'I went to bed one night thinking if it's any worse in the morning in terms of the labouring of my breathing I'd go back up to hospital.

 

'People shouldn't be complacent about it. A number of younger people have been in intensive care as well so just be very careful.'

 

Mr Dutton also said anyone who was planning on breaking social distancing or isolation rules should think twice.

 

'If you can get a backstreet path to the beach don't do it, if authorities think it's safe to lift restrictions they'll do that.

 

'This is not going away in the next month or two it's gonna be with us for a period of time.

 

'A lot of people are living in very difficult circumstances where they've lost everything financially, lost a loved one, they are scared witless because they're worried about a grandparent or sick child so we've got to think of those people as well.'

 

Fears surrounded the entire cabinet after Mr Dutton tested positive to the disease as he had recently attended a string of events.

 

The politician had also earlier returned from a work trip to the United States.

 

He met with officials from the US, UK and Canada in Washington on March 6 as part of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing programme.

 

He posed for pictures with President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka and American attorney general William Barr.

 

Mr Dutton also attended the opening of the new campus at the University of Sunshine Coast where he met with students and staff on March 9.

 

On March 10 he attended a cabinet meeting in Sydney before waking up three days later with a sore throat and testing positive.

 

Medical advice said Mr Dutton was only contagious 24 hours before showing symptoms.

Electronic tracking devices among new coronavirus powers for WA security agencies

 

Security agencies in Western Australia have been given expanded powers to deal with coronavirus, but legal and civil liberties groups say emergency measures to tackle COVID-19 must not outlast the pandemic.

 

Security agencies in Western Australia have received expanded powers to deal with COVID-19, following recent amendments to the state’s Emergency Management Act.

 

This week, WA Police were provided 200 electronic ankle bracelets with GPS tracking capability, at a cost of $3 million, for monitoring people breaking quarantine.

 

"A non-compliant [person in] quarantine will have one of these devices fitted [to them] as part of our efforts to protect the community," Premier Mark McGowan said.

 

"We're in a state of emergency. These are difficult times and these measures are needed to keep Western Australians safe."

 

Sunset clauses

 

The new tracking devices follow the passage through the WA Parliament this month of the Labor government’s Emergency Management Amendment (COVID-19 Response) Bill 2020.

 

The bill made several changes to the state’s Emergency Management Act, including the effective removal of a person's right to silence when providing information, giving authorities the power to issue directions to entire 'classes' or groups of people, and attach electronic tracking devices to anyone breaking quarantine.

 

While the expanded security powers can only be used during a state of emergency, only one of the amendments to WA’s Emergency Management Act carries a 'sunset clause', guaranteeing its expiry at the end of this emergency.

 

"What was interesting is the government was quite clear that there were some amendments that were designed purely in response to this pandemic," Murdoch University law lecturer Lorraine Finlay told SBS News.

 

"In particular, the amendment that removes the right to silence, allowing an authorised officer to compel a person to give relevant information, which in this case is where they’ve travelled and who they’ve been in contact with.

 

"That is the amendment that is subject to a sunset clause, [because] it is such a change from the normal right to silence that applies in Australia."

 

Other amendments to WA’s Emergency Management Act, however, do not include this clause and allow for expanded security powers in future emergencies.

 

These expanded powers include allowing authorities to issue directions to a 'class' or group of people, rather than an individual; as well as impose penalties of $12,000 fines and 12 months of imprisonment for non-compliance.

 

"Some of the other amendments that were made, for example, to allow authorities to issue directions to a class of persons and the electronic monitoring of people in quarantine… The government was clear in saying these are amendments that could potentially apply in the future," Mrs Finlay says.

 

"They have been designed because they were thought not just to be of use in this emergency, but in future emergencies."

 

Personal freedoms

 

Civil liberties groups say that while measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic are understandable now, there are concerns about these powers remaining in place once this emergency is over.

 

"There's a saying among security agencies, which is 'don’t let a good crisis go to waste'," Civil Liberties Australia vice president Rajan Venkataraman tells SBS News.

 

"In the name of (COVID-19), security agencies are getting new powers. These include powers to monitor people, powers to detain people… But also [includes powers to use] new equipment, like drone technology, vehicle license plate recognition and electronic tracking devices."

 

In Western Australia, the interpretation of the amendment to the Emergency Management Act that allows electronic tracking in this and future emergencies, could further allow various types of devices to be used.

 

"It's interesting that [in the legal amendments], the actual instrument that will be used for electronic monitoring isn’t specified. So it could potentially allow for ankle bracelet style-physical monitoring, or things like mobile apps that are being used in places like Singapore to track people," Mrs Finlay says.

 

WA Police also received $14.8 million from the state government to purchase 100 additional mobile intelligence cameras, known as automatic number plate recognition cameras (ANPR), to monitor COVID-19 border restrictions.

A pandemic scare is looming as airplanes in multiple countries reported to be full of “diseased” people are landing and being put in quarantine. However, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) sources say the incidents all appear to be fake ones involving crisis actors.

 

The pandemic scare comes as the execution of U.S. Senator John McCain sent shock waves through Khazarian mafia ranks, who are now activating all their resources in a desperate move to save themselves. Thus, this pandemic scare may be something like a schoolboy calling in a bomb threat to his school in order to avoid an exam he is going to fail.

 

However, it is also possible the U.S. military-industrial establishment may be preparing a pandemic scare as a cover to stop all airline flights worldwide in order to prevent Khazarian mafia from escaping, as over 51,000 sealed indictments begin to be acted upon.

 

In any case, the links below are just a partial indication of the scale of this planned “pandemic.”

Tom Hanks attempts a dodgy Australian accent as he jokes about his coronavirus diagnosis and THAT Vegemite photo on Saturday Night Live

 

Tom Hanks reflected on his COVID-19 diagnosis and recovery in Australia last month during his opening monologue on Saturday Night Live over the weekend.

 

After returning home to America in late March, the 63-year-old actor did his best Australian accent as he hosted the U.S. comedy show from his kitchen.

 

'Ever since being diagnosed I've been more like America's dad than ever before. No one wants to be around me very long and I make people uncomfortable,' he began.

 

Tom continued: 'I was diagnosed back in March with the coronavirus. I was first diagnosed down in Australia. Now the folks in Australia are fantastic in every way, but they use celsius instead of fahrenheit when they take your temperature.

 

'So when they come in and they say, "You're 36!", which seemed very bad to me, but it turns out 36 is fine. Thirty-eight is bad. Basically, it's how Hollywood treats female actors.'

 

He then imitated the accent of a Queenslander, repeating: 'You're 36!?'

 

Tom later attempted another Australian accent while discussing Vegemite, a popular spread made from leftover brewers' yeast.

 

He laughed: 'I've got a question for Tommy Tim Tam, what's the right proper way to get a daily dose of your Vegemite?'

 

As he recovered from coronavirus on the Gold Coast in March, Tom sparked a national debate after sharing a photo to Instagram of his Vegemite on toast with far too much spread.

 

Tom and his wife, Rita Wilson, announced on March 11 they had both tested positive for COVID-19.

 

'We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too,' Tom wrote in a social media post.

 

They were diagnosed on Queensland's Gold Coast but were eventually given the all clear to fly home by doctors after being treated in hospital and told to self-isolate.

Tom Hanks SNL last night, He emphasizes "Q cards" can anyone read what is on his Q card?

 

Odd things that stood out to me.

 

1) possible military hair cut, then mentions , maybe we should all do it, referring to the haircut. (look for more people with shorth haircuts)

2) weird signals, he says he makes people uncomfortable

3) he mentions the number 36 a few times (not sure what that is signaling) 3 = C 6 = F (Clinton Foundation)?

4) Then mentions 38 (38 is bad) C=3 8 =H (CH)?

5) 36 is fine and 38 is bad, then says its how Hollywood treats female actors

6) talks about forgetting how buttons work on his suit "they slide into these slots, amazing"

7) "no such things as Saturdays anymore, everyday is just today" Like a prison inmate would feel

You missed one, anon.

This is a common cue. They touch their classes or signal to their eye in some way when they say something that has a specific double meaning, mainly when it has to do with keeping up with the facade, the LARP reality that is being created/maintained by the cabal.

Hanks says "while the cast members are under quarantine in their homes." Grabs his glasses at the word 'quarantine.'

The three tests Australia will need to pass before the coronavirus restrictions end

 

Australia's effort to slow the spread of coronavirus is earning praise from the federal Health Minister but it's coming with a warning that there's no end in sight to the restrictions that have shuttered swathes of the economy.

 

Greg Hunt lauded Australians for adhering to the Prime Minister's demand to stay home at Easter, amid fears travel could lead to a spike in the spread of the disease.

 

"Australians have done what we had hoped — and more," he said.

 

"They have stayed at home. They have self-isolated."

 

Slowing the spread has led to hopes restrictions might soon be lifted and life will return to normal.

 

But the Health Minister has outlined the three tests Australia would have to pass before the restrictions end.

 

Test one: A sustained decrease in cases

 

Having started handing out billions of dollars in welfare in a bid to help Australians avert joblessness amid an economic downturn, federal leaders are now turning their attention to how the nation will bounce back.

 

Mr Hunt said authorities were "actively planning the road out" and the first test would be a further fall in COVID-19 cases in Australia.

 

"One [test] is clear indication that we are suppressing the case numbers in Australia," he said.

 

Australia has so far managed to flatten the infection curve, recording fewer than 100 new cases a day for the past week — well down from weeks ago.

 

But further falls in cases are needed.

 

There have been more than 6,300 cases, more than half of which have already recovered.

 

Test two: Rapid response capabilities

 

In recent weeks, Australia has been frantically trying to increase the number of ventilators available for intensive care units across the country.

 

It wants to ensure that if there is a sudden surge in cases, hospitals will have the resources they need to treat patients.

 

The Federal Government is growing increasingly confident the nation will soon have enough ventilators.

 

But it also needs to be prepared to quickly trace any potential outbreak.

 

Mr Hunt said leaders needed to be satisfied that if there was a localised spike in cases, then health workers would be well placed to respond, contain and isolate the infected people.

 

"If there were individual cases which broke out into a local spike, then the ability to respond, contain and to isolate will be absolutely critical to Australia's capacity to, further down the track, progressively lift restrictions on a step by step basis," Mr Hunt said.

 

Test three: An exit plan

 

Mr Hunt confirmed the Government was working on a plan for the "steps out", which would involve gradually reopening businesses.

 

The Prime Minister has flagged that some states and territories might start to reopen businesses ahead of others.

 

But he has repeatedly said social-distancing measures will be in place for at least six months and potentially longer if researchers are unable to develop a vaccine.

 

Mr Hunt said Australia was looking to South Korea, Japan and Singapore to monitor how they were planning their response to the virus.

 

He said any steps to reopen Australian businesses would be targeted and gradual to ensure there was not a sudden surge in cases.

 

Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy has warned it will be weeks before authorities can judge how successful Australia had been in slowing the spread of the virus.

 

But he said there were few signs that Australia needed tougher measures in the interim.

 

"Our track record over the past few weeks is looking pretty good," Professor Murphy said.

 

We're continuing in the right direction. I'm not sure further measures are warranted on the data we have at the moment."

 

When we pass the tests, will life return to normal?

 

Few can predict when Australians will be able to leave their homes.

 

It's clear that when some restrictions drop, others will remain in place — particularly the ban on international travel.

 

Federal Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham said domestic travel restrictions were likely to be relaxed well before Australians were able to head overseas again.

Pell's jail diaries detail 'petty humiliations', job as roof gardener

 

Cardinal George Pell has released excerpts from his prison diary, which discuss aspects of his life in jail including the attitudes of corrections staff, humiliations he endured and his brief job as a gardener.

 

The diaries, parts of which were published in The Australian newspaper on Tuesday, detail Cardinal Pell's thoughts and activities during more than 400 days in prison.

 

The cardinal was last week acquitted of child sex offences and released from Barwon Prison near Geelong.

 

He wrote that prison staff were "courteous and decent" during his time at the Melbourne Assessment Prison in West Melbourne and at Barwon, but that he had to sometimes endure "petty humiliations" such as wearing handcuffs and being strip-searched.

 

The cardinal also took on a gardening job on the Melbourne Assessment Prison roof, but wrote that he "lost it in a demarcation dispute".

 

"It’s not the Hilton but it’s well run," Cardinal Pell went on to write of prison. "I had a shower, a toilet and a bed with a firm base. What else does a man need?"

 

Cardinal Pell was in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day but accepted it was necessary to stay safe. "So I'm not complaining," he wrote of the isolation.

 

He said he was used to such confinement because as a seminarian he had to partake in "grand silence" from mid-evening until 9am the next morning.

 

In an interview with Sky News that will air on Tuesday evening the cardinal reacted to Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews' statement following his acquittal.

 

"I have a message for every single victim and survivor of child sex abuse: I see you. I hear you. I believe you," Mr Andrews said.

 

Cardinal Pell said the Premier's comments suggested a "presumption of guilt" for anyone accused of abuse.

 

"Victims should be accepted as credible," the cardinal said. "I believe them. But what has to be established is that they are victims. Guilt by accusation is a mark of an uncivilised society."

 

Cardinal Pell also said he was targeted for criticism regarding the response of the Catholic Church in Australia to child abuse because he was "the most high-profile face of the church in Australia".

 

The Australian reported that he still stands by the Melbourne Response to child sexual abuse in the church, a redress scheme he led, despite criticism of it.

 

In the Sky News interview Cardinal Pell took aim at the ABC for the way it reported his conviction and subsequent appeals and acquittal.

 

Interviewer Andrew Bolt asked the cardinal if the ABC's perceived role in his "persecution" concerned him.

 

"Yes it does," Cardinal Pell responded.

 

"Because, I mean, it [the ABC] is partly financed by Catholic taxes," Cardinal Pell told Bolt.

 

"These things have to be tested respectfully. The pendulum 30 or 40 years ago was massively against anybody who said that they had been attacked.

 

"Nowadays, we don’t want to just swing back so that every accusation is regarded as gospel truth. That would be quite unjust and inappropriate."

Westpac braces for $1.03bn AUSTRAC hit

 

Westpac's child exploitation and money laundering scandal could blow a $1.03 billion hole in its first-half cash profit, with the bank setting aside an eye-watering $900 million for a potential legal penalty.

 

The figure would eclipse the record $700 million fine Commonwealth Bank copped in 2018 for its own breaches of AUSTRAC laws.

 

Westpac, which is accused of 23 million breaches of anti-money laundering laws, flagged the hit on Tuesday as part of $1.43 million in expected first-half writedowns and provisions.

 

Westpac said the final penalty paid following either a settlement and joint submission on a penalty, or a hearing, could be more or less than the $900 million it has set aside.

 

On top of the expected AUSTRAC fine, the bank said costs related to its financial crime response plan could reach $130 million, partly due to higher legal expenses.

 

Westpac chief executive Peter King, who was appointed early this month, said 200 people were being hired to prevent financial crime and a clearer accountability regime was being set up.

 

The big four lender will also book another $260 million in customer remediation related to the royal commission, and a $70 million asset hit from the coronavirus fallout.

 

The many Australians left unemployed from the pandemic will also have consequences for banks.

 

Westpac expects many customers will be unable to repay loans and it is factoring in a significant increase in its impairment charge.

 

The charge will be announced before its first-half results are published on May 4.

 

A provision of about $70 million has been made relating to changes to group life insurance.

 

Westpac Life Insurance Services will stop providing group life insurance to BT Super, and the former has written off acquisition costs.

 

Westpac is also yet to respond to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority's advice to banks to consider postponing paying dividends to shareholders.

 

The bank said a decision on first-half dividends would be announced with its results.

 

APRA earlier this month asked banks to conserve capital and reduce dividends, given the uncertain economic outlook.

 

This would ensure banks could continue to lend and underwrite insurance.

 

Westpac's declaration of first half costs is the latest of the ramifications from its child exploitation and money laundering scandal.

 

The government's Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) in November filed proceedings in the Federal Court against Westpac.

 

The financial crimes watchdog says on 23 million occasions the bank failed anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism laws on reporting transactions.

 

Westpac also failed to use methods to detect payments possibly linked to child sex offences in south-east Asia, AUSTRAC said.

 

Many of the alleged offences occurred between November 2013 and September 2018.

 

The penalty could amount to billions of dollars.

 

The scandal prompted former boss Brian Hartzer to step down, and former chairman Lindsay Maxsted brought forward his retirement.

 

Shares in Westpac were trading lower by 2.0 cents, or 0.13 per cent, to $15.94 at 1330 AEST.

Australia takes aim at the World Health Organisation after it supported the reopening of China's wet markets -despite them being the likely origin of coronavirus

 

Australia has piled pressure on the World Health Organisation after it backed the reopening of China's wet markets despite them being the likely origin of COVID-19.

 

The WHO last week claimed China's wet markets could be made to sell safe food with increased hygiene practices and refused to support their closure as they are an important source of food and income.

 

But Prime Minister Scott Morrison spoke out on Monday to demand transparency in understanding the origin of the disease and protection from the global threat of China's notorious open marketplaces.

 

'Australia and the world will be looking to organisations like the WHO to ensure lessons are learned from the devastating coronavirus outbreak,' Mr Morrison told The Australian.

 

'There must be transparency in understanding how it began in Wuhan and how it was transmitted. We also need to fully understand and protect against the global health threat posed by places like wet markets.'

 

While there has been no consensus reached on the origins of the virus, studies have indicated that the epicenter of the virus may have been Wuhan's Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, a wet market in the city where the coronavirus is thought to have originated.

 

COVID-19, which has infected 1,872,000 people and killed 116,000, is one of a family of coronaviruses commonly found in bats.

 

A working theory is that the virus was passed from bats through another mammal, possibly pangolins - the most trafficked animal in the world for their meat and scales believed by some to have medicinal properties - before infecting humans.

 

The public concern was great enough that the Chinese government banned the sale and consumption of wild animals, but with Wuhan's reopening vendors have started to return to the city's market stalls.

 

Mr Morrison's comments came after he called wet markets a 'real and significant problem wherever they exist' in an interview with Alan Jones in early April.

 

'This virus started in China and went round the world. And that's that's how it started. We all know that,' Mr Morrison said.

 

'And these wet markets can be a real problem when it comes to what can occur in those markets. And I think from a world health point of view, this is something the World Health Organisation should do something about.'

 

Both sides of Australian politics have been critical of the WHO's advice, and Labor MP Peter Khalil said wet markets should be closed unless they can be proven safe.

 

'Unless they can demonstrate that the regulations, the health and safety measures, are so strict that they can completely cut off the risk factors, they're going to have to shut them down,' he said.

 

'It's happened with SARS. It's happened with avian influenza. It's happened with COVID-19. Next time it might be an even worse virus.'

 

Liberal MP Andrew Hastie told Daily Mail Australia the WHO has badly let Australia down in response to the coronavirus crisis.

 

'The WHO has been glacially slow in its decision-making,' Mr Hastie said.

 

'When Beijing shut down travel from Hubei to the rest of China on January 23 - but strangely not from Hubei to the rest of the world - why didn't the WHO act decisively then?

 

'It could've prevented the mass global exportation of COVID-19 then by declaring a pandemic and alerting governments around the world of the danger ahead.

 

'Closing borders then could've saved lives and a lot of economic hardship.'

 

Fellow Liberal MP Dave Sharma also criticised the WHO on Wednesday.

 

He told the ABC: 'I think the WHO's revealed some serious shortcomings, and I think they've revealed themselves to be a politicised organisation.

 

'They have been too willing to accept Chinese explanations for this virus and the source and the causes.'

 

He said it was right for the world to respond to China with 'anger and consternation and demand some sort of transparency and accountability in future.'

Police investigating George Pell over fresh child sexual abuse allegation – report

 

News Corp says acquitted cardinal faces new claims over alleged incident in the 1970s when he was a priest in Ballarat

 

Cardinal George Pell is being investigated by police over a new allegation of child sexual abuse, according to News Corp reports.

 

Pell was released from jail last Tuesday after the high court acquitted him on five historical child sexual abuse charges. Pell, 78, spent more than 400 days in jail after being convicted by a jury in December 2018. The high court acquitted Pell after finding the jury should have held a reasonable doubt as to his guilt.

 

Pell has given an exclusive interview to his longtime friend and supporter from Sky News, Andrew Bolt, which is due to air on Tuesday night.

 

On Tuesday the Herald-Sun reported that Pell was being investigated by police over an incident in the 1970s, when Pell was a priest in the Victorian town of Ballarat. The report did not suggest the allegation was true, and Pell has always vehemently denied all allegations of sexual abuse against him.

 

A Victoria police spokesman said: “Victoria police will not be providing any comment in relation to these allegations.”

 

Guardian Australia has contacted the Catholic archdiocese of Sydney for comment.

 

Pell’s spokeswoman, Katrina Lee, was quoted by the Herald-Sun as saying: “In any police matter there should be due process through the proper channels.”

 

Pell may also face a number of civil cases.

 

In a preview of the Pell interview released by Sky News, Bolt alluded to the possibility of new investigations and said Pell would respond to questions about Victoria police in the interview. In the preview Bolt asks Pell: “How would you react if the Victorian police were to keep trawling for victims, keep trawling for attempts to prosecute you?”

 

Pell responds: “Well, I wouldn’t be entirely surprised. But who knows. That’s their business.”

 

At a Victoria police media conference on Tuesday afternoon, deputy commissioner Shane Patton was asked for his response to allegations police had a vendetta against Pell.

 

Patton said: “I don’t have any comments to make at all in respect to Cardinal Pell.”

 

Bolt wrote numerous opinion pieces in support of Pell before the criminal case had concluded.

 

The conclusion of Pell’s criminal trial last week sparked renewed calls for the federal attorney general, Christian Porter, to release the redacted sections of the child sexual abuse royal commission’s final report that related to Pell. The commission, which examined institutional abuse throughout Australia, published its final report in 2017 but pages relating to Pell were blanked out so as not to jeopardise his criminal case.

 

However, a new criminal investigation may place the release of the commission report in doubt. The redacted section examines the actions of Catholic church authorities in Ballarat, including at the time when Pell was a priest in the region.

 

Pell was cross-examined by the commission in 2016 on what he knew about the notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale, who was a friend of Pell’s at the time in Ballarat. Pell responded: “It was a sad story and of not much interest to me. I had no reason to turn my mind to the evils Ridsdale had perpetrated.”

 

Pell shared a house with Ridsdale and sat on a committee of priests who made decisions to move Ridsdale from parish to parish.

George Pell faces fresh child abuse allegations from new accuser just days after cardinal's convictions were quashed by the High Court and he said he 'wouldn't be entirely surprised' if police came after him again

 

Cardinal George Pell is reportedly under police investigation after a new accuser came forward with fresh allegations of child abuse.

 

A week on from his successful High Court appeal against child sex convictions, reports said Victoria Police had been investigating a separate accusation against Pell, 78.

 

Police are yet to approach Pell or his legal team over the fresh allegation - which is understood to date back to the 1970s, according to the Herald Sun.

 

A man who now works in a professional role reportedly made the accusation.

 

A spokeswoman for the cardinal said on Monday night: 'In any police matter there should be due process through the proper channels.'

 

Daily Mail Australia does not suggest the new allegations are true - only that police are reportedly investigating.

 

Cardinal Pell was not told of the fresh investigation until Monday, the paper reported.

 

A recorded interview between Cardinal Pell and Sky News Australia presenter Andrew Bolt will air on Tuesday night, in which Cardinal Pell said he 'wouldn't be entirely surprised' if police attempted to prosecute him again.

 

Bolt asked the cardinal whether he was ashamed of the Catholic church's handling of child sex abuse scandals.

 

'Yes. There are two levels. One is the crimes itself and then the treating it so inadequately for so long,' Cardinal Pell said.

 

'It's like cutting out a cancer. Please God, we've got rid of it.'

 

Cardinal Pell said he condemns 'these sort of activities', adding he has seen the damage sexual abuse has done to victims.

 

'One of the things that grieves me is the suggestion that I'm anti-victim, or not sufficiently sympathetic,' he said.

 

Pell also criticised the ABC's role in presenting a one-sided view of his legal ordeal.

 

'I believe in free speech,' Cardinal Pell said. 'I acknowledge the right of those who differ from me to just state their views.

 

'But in a national broadcaster, to have an overwhelming presentation of one view and only one view, that's a betrayal of the national interest.'

 

The interview also sheds light on Cardinal Pell's experiences in jail - where he befriended a number of inmates, including a convicted murderer.

 

The cardinal won his appeal bid to the High Court on April 7 and walked free from Barwon Prison, near Geelong, after more than 400 days behind bars.

 

He travelled from Melbourne to Sydney on Wednesday - stopping briefly at a petrol station to buy a phone charger and newspapers.

 

Cardinal Pell arrived at the Seminary of the Good Shepherd in Homebush in Sydney's west, at about 9pm on April 8.

 

He released a statement saying the serious injustice he suffered had been remedied.

 

'I hold no ill will to my accused, I do not want my acquittal to add to the hurt and bitterness so many feel; there is certainly hurt and bitterness enough,' he said on Tuesday.

 

The 78-year-old said his trial was not a referendum on the Catholic Church or how Australian church authorities dealt with paedophilia.

 

'The point was whether I had committed these awful crimes, and I did not,' he said.

 

In December 2018, a jury found Cardinal Pell guilty of five charges, accepting evidence of one complainant that the then-Archbishop of Melbourne had sexually abused him and another 13-year-old choirboy at St Patrick's Cathedral in 1996.

 

One of the choirboys died in 2014, prompting the other to bring the allegations to police.

 

In an initial trial, a jury was unable to reach a verdict. The second jury was unanimous in its decision. An appeal to Victoria's Court of Appeal last year was unsuccessful.

 

Cardinal Pell has always maintained his innocence, a fact noted in the High Court's 26-page decision.

Full Cardinal George Pell interview with Andrew Bolt - Sky News Australia

 

Published on 14 Apr 2020

 

Cardinal George Pell has revealed he is ashamed of the Catholic Church for the way it dealt with the “cancer” of child sex abuse in the past.

 

In an exclusive world-first televised interview with Sky News Australia presenter Andrew Bolt, Cardinal Pell talks candidly about the scourge of child abuse within his own church and how the many failures to act still haunt him today.

 

“It was like a cancer … we had to cut it out,” he said.

 

“I totally condemn these sorts of activities, and the damage that it’s done to people.

 

“One of the things that aggrieves me is the suggestion that I’m anti-victim, or not sufficiently sympathetic. I devoted a lot of time and energy to try to save them, to get justice, to get help and to get compensation.”

 

Cardinal Pell also shone light on the 405 days he spent locked up for seven child sex offences which were eventually quashed by the High Court of Australia.

 

He befriended several inmates, including a convicted murderer, and witnessed the devastation ice addiction had on those around him.

 

Cardinal Pell explained he felt flat following his release but he felt no “anger or hostility” towards his accuser.

 

He hopes to transition into a quiet life of gardening where he could focus on growing roses and cabbage.

Anons across the globe salute that Australian spirit to enjoy life even during lockdown. From the camper in the middle of nowhere fined by police, to the couple posting 2019 vacation photos, to the many Aussies enjoying the beach and surf, We All Salute You. Common Sense and enjoying life are just as important as a government lockdown. Be safe and wishing all the best

Moral of the articles: Don’t come between a Mate and his/her Board.

 

AUSTRALIAN COUPLE FINED BY CONFUSED POLICE AFTER POSTING OLD VACATION PHOTOS

https://www.newsweek.com/australian-couple-fined-confused-police-after-posting-old-vacation-photos-1497828

 

Australian couple, Jaz and Garry Mott, were slapped with a hefty fine for allegedly breaking lockdown orders amid the pandemic. The confusion here is, the couple were still under isolation when they posted their 2019 vacation photos on Facebook.

 

On April 5, the Victoria couple revisited fond memories from June and shared travel photos on the social media platform. Among the 12 photos, the couple tagged themselves at Lakes Entrance, which is about two hours away from their Traralgon home. Because their location was tagged, the state police thought they had cheated lockdown rules.

 

Then on April 9, the police arrived at their home to issue them an excessive fine of up to $1,652 AUD (about $1057.70 in U.S. dollars). The two were accused of making an alleged "non-essential travel" to Lakes Entrance.

 

While speaking to The Independent, Jaz revealed the warning she received, "The Sargent told me if I posted any more photos, I will be arrested."

 

A spokesperson for the Victoria Police Department told the British online publisher, "This incident has been reviewed and the decision has been made to withdraw the infringement notice."

 

"On occasion, errors will be made however that is why a review process exists to ensure instances such as these are identified and rectified," added the spokesperson.

 

 

Surfing: Coronavirus lockdown advice leaves room for confusion

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-52225031

 

In one surf-loving nation, Australia, some beaches are closed but others remain packed. So is it ok to surf during the Covid-19 crisis? Gary Nunn reports from Sydney.

 

Mark Stockdale surfs every day of his life. But not today.

 

"Ironically, it was too crowded," he tells the BBC.

 

He lives near surfing hotspot Bells Beach, Victoria, in Australia's south. Rather than people staying home, the opposite seems to have happened.

 

"It was even more packed than usual," the 48-year-old says. "The local surfing population is quite large, but people were also travelling in from Melbourne [110km or 70 miles away] because they're off work. The message isn't getting through."

 

But that message is also "ambiguous", he says. On one hand, surfing is not in conflict with Australia's social distancing rules. Exercise is one of the four essential reasons to leave your house and, if done with a maximum of two people, 1.5m apart, it seems to fall within the rules.

 

That is - till the beach gets rammed.

 

To navigate this, Mr Stockdale is taking extra precautions: "I've been waiting till conditions aren't very good. Or I go with my son to one of the lesser quality surf spots out the way of the crowds."

 

Katie Stoddart, 35, lives further up Australia in Kingscliff, New South Wales, and has been surfing for 16 years.

 

She has created her own rules: she only surfs alone, for 45 minutes maximum, only locally, avoids busy spots and gets up early to find a clear ocean area.

 

"If I can't find a quiet wave to myself (which happens often), I don't paddle out and surf that day - I just have a swim instead," she says. "I definitely don't get the best waves or the longest surf, but at least I get some exercise. It's better than nothing."

Hidden risks?

One question that seems to be confusing people is the likelihood of airborne ocean-spray risks of viral transmission.

 

Kim Prather, a scientist at the University of California San Diego, told the San Diego Union-Tribune: "Surfers are saying that they're safe if they stay six feet away from other people, but that's only true if the air isn't moving… Most of the time, there's wind or a breeze at the coast. Tiny drops of virus can float in the air and get blown around."

 

Hannah Sassi, from the University of Sydney, adds: "She's merely stating it's a theoretical possibility - which, technically, it is."

 

"It's tricky though," Dr Sassi, an environmental virologist, tells the BBC. "Could virus particles be taken up by ocean breeze and travel? It's probably not that likely, and it could happen on the shore just as easily (if it at all)."

 

She says there's no consensus the virus can be transmitted through airborne contact: "Research and medical data are pouring in very quickly. We're learning new things about Covid-19 every day, and the situation is constantly evolving."

 

Close contact transmission, whether on land or at sea, is the biggest risk, she says: "Much of what we're cautioning against [such as not covering coughs and sneezes] is to prevent large droplets carrying the virus from expelling and settling on surfaces."

 

There's a positive for surfers and swimmers though, she says: "We haven't isolated the virus in ocean waters yet!"

 

Are beach closures adding to the problem?

Some of Australia's most popular and famous surf beaches - including Sydney's Bondi and Manly - have been closed and fences erected to deter surfers and swimmers.

 

It hasn't always worked. The Sydney Morning Herald has reported incidents of fence jumping, including one man who attacked a photographer, shouting repeatedly: "This is my beach."

 

Ethan Smith from Surfing NSW says the confusion is happening because, although surfing falls within the rules, some beaches are closed, causing surfers local to those beaches to seek out other waves.

 

"Surfers who'd usually go to closed beaches like Bondi are going to other beaches and crowding them. You can see that from the sheer volume of people driving up coast lines looking for somewhere else," he says.

 

"But you're supposed to stay at your local beach or stay home. They keep saying - it's recreation, not congregation."

 

With many surf events cancelled, some surfers have put their board away altogether to be on the safe side, he adds.

 

Top ocean tips

Seeing the crowded waves left Mr Stockdale feeling "really disappointed".

 

Although he notes some in the surf community are doing their bit, others are letting the side down. "Surfers are renowned for being quite selfish," he says. "It's no surprise it'll become an issue. I'm trying not to contribute by making sacrifices - I just wish others would."

 

Dr Sassi has some tips for surfers during the Covid-19 outbreak: "It's advice that I know surfers won't want to hear, but: sit it out [if it's really busy] or go at less busy times. Being on the water doesn't automatically mean you're not at risk of being exposed.

 

"And definitely wash your hands/face as soon as you can after your surf!"

New George Papadopoulos Tweets

 

Of course there was no basis to launching the investigation outside of the Steele dossier. Alexander Downer’s bizarre recording of me in a London bar was so shocking that I reported him to the FBI/Mueller/Congress. Australia and the U.K. are stonewalling the investigations.

 

https://twitter.com/GeorgePapa19/status/1250152128149999616

 

 

The propaganda trying to cover up Australia’s role in willfully spying on the campaign and me in London has begun. Alexander Downer was reported by me to the FBI, Mueller and Congress. Mueller’s own team acknowledged he was recording me. Who put the Clinton errand boy up to it?

 

https://twitter.com/GeorgePapa19/status/1250229134292221952

 

 

I usually don’t take the Daily Beast too seriously, but when I read their piece out today trying to rewrite history and cover up Australia’s true role in spying, I had to call it out. Expect more of this from other mainstream outlets moving forward. We are getting close.

 

https://twitter.com/GeorgePapa19/status/1250232414678351877

 

 

Strzok’s boss, Bill Priestap, was in London two days before Alexander Downer and his handler, Erika Thompson, began to record me. I haven’t been wrong about a single thing regarding this spy story. Australia and the UK are “allies” which has complicated Durham’s investigation.

Barr Pressed Australia for Help on Mueller Review as DOJ Worked to Free Its Hostages

 

While his deputies finalized a plan with Australian officials to free two bloggers from a Tehran prison, Bill Barr had another request: help on his look back at the Russia probe.

 

In a series of conversations last September, senior Department of Justice officials worked with representatives of the Australian government to hammer out an arrangement to win the release of a pair of Australian bloggers imprisoned in Tehran.

 

At the same time those talks were taking place, Attorney General Bill Barr and his lieutenants were speaking to the Australians about another matter: getting their help as the Department of Justice looked into the origins of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

 

Barr, like his boss, President Donald Trump, had long had a view of the Russia probe that bordered on hostile, and his review has been widely seen as an attempt to discredit the Mueller investigation, which led to the indictment of multiple Trumpworld associates. Just days before the culmination of talks in September—which coincided with an official Australian state visit—Trump himself pushed Prime Minister Scott Morrison to help Barr with this inquiry.

 

Barr followed up about the Mueller re-investigation, two U.S. officials and a third individual familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast, even as American and Australian officials finalized their arrangement to try to free the pair jailed in Iran. According to four sources—including those two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official—the American government agreed to help facilitate the release of the Australian bloggers, in part by agreeing to pull back from pursuing the extradition of an Iranian scientist held in Australia.

 

News of the arrangement didn’t reach the senior ranks of the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs—the team in charge of coordinating the government’s diplomatic engagements on overseas hostage-related matters—until days after the deal was finalized, according to two officials with knowledge of the situation. Another individual familiar with the conversations said officials in the hostage affairs office were frustrated by the lack of communication from the Department of Justice, claiming they had been cut out of a process they would have normally helped lead. At the time, the team was in conversation with Americans whose family members were held hostage in Iran. The cohort was actively lobbying the Trump administration to raise public awareness of the hostages’ cases in the hopes that it may put pressure on Tehran.

 

The discussions between Washington and Canberra raise questions about why the Department of Justice engaged in a behind-the-scenes effort to help win the release of Australian hostages from Iran and whether the president’s request to have the country assist in Barr’s Russia inquiry influenced the department’s decision-making.

 

The State Department did not respond to a request for comment. The White House did not provide an on the record comment for this story. In an email to The Daily Beast, DOJ spokesperson Kerri Kupec said Barr himself did not have “any conversations with the Australians about Australian bloggers or an Iranian scientist.”

 

To Claire Finkelstein, a professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania and the director of the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law, “this story suggests that the president is continuing to use the authority of his office to pressure foreign leaders into assisting him in covering up Russia’s assistance with his 2016 victory. This is the same conduct for which Trump was impeached, and the reporting suggests that he is undeterred.”

 

She added, “If the administration engaged in this swap as part of a deal with the Australian government in which it would support Trump’s counter-narrative to the Mueller Report, then department officials are actively using U.S. diplomacy to undermine our U.S. national security interests.”

Judges and others on a police list from 2015 -no names

 

Senator Heffernan raised some interesting accusations about the gross alleged misbehaviour of 28, including Judges and others named on a list in relation to child abuse with the then Attorney General George Brandis.

 

Apparently the Wood Royal Commission was going to raise the issue of children being abused by those people named, they called an adjournment for morning tea and then never went back to the subject. Commissioner for the Royal Commission told Heffernan that they would not go back to the issue because it would destroy the public’s confidence in the institution.

Coronavirus: Three steps to Australia’s ‘road out’ from restrictions

 

Expanding Australia’s testing regime will be one of the essential things the country needs to be before it can lift tough coronavirus restrictions.

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced there are three things Australia needs to put in place before the Government can think about easing social distancing measures.

 

Mr Morrison said the Government was working on finding a “road out” to get the country back to a more normal way of operating, with the most important steps discussed between state and federal leaders in a National Cabinet meeting today.

 

STEP ONE

 

The first change that needs to happen is expanding the country’s coronavirus testing regime beyond what is in place at the moment.

 

During a press conference this afternoon, Mr Morrison said while we have one of the “most extensive” testing regimes in the world, it needs to be even better.

 

“We need to do even better than that to make sure that we can have greater confidence that when we move to a lesser restriction environment we can identify any outbreaks very very quickly and respond to them,” he said.

 

Chief medical officer Brendan Murphy backed up the PMs comments, saying relaxing restrictions without that updated regime in place could result in an increase in community transmission.

 

“If we relax the distancing measures that are stopping or reducing that community transmission, that will inevitably lead to some more outbreaks of community transmission,” Prof Murphy said.

 

“Unless we are prepared as a nation to detect those outbreaks really early and get on top of them and control them and isolate the cases and quarantine the contacts, we could end up with large community outbreaks that could lead to situations like we’ve all seen every night on the nightly news in high-income countries with good health systems like the USA and the UK.

 

“We can’t afford to do relaxation until we have a public health system which is so finely tuned that it can detect and respond to any outbreak.”

 

Prof Murphy said while Australia’s Health Protection Principal Committee (HPPC) is keen to see distancing restrictions removed, they are not confident that the public health system is prepared.

 

“Our public health system is one of the best in the world. But we just have to hold the course while we get ourselves completely ready so that we can live through these next difficult months together,” he said.

 

STEP TWO

 

Mr Morrison said the second step Australia needs to take in easing virus restrictions is increasing our contact tracing capabilities for people who have been confirmed as having COVID-19.

 

“I want to commend the state governments – this has been the really heavy lifting they have been doing over the last several weeks, and really boosting capability of tracing cases. They are a team of Sherlock Holmes’s out there at the moment and they are doing a fantastic job on tracking down these cases,” he said.

 

“We need to lift that to an industrial capability and do that using technology and we need to do that as soon as we possibly can, and we will be needing the support of Australians.

 

“If we can get that in place, get the tracing capability up from where it is, that will give us more options and Australians more freedom.”

 

STEP THREE

 

The third thing that needs to be done before relaxing restrictions is amping up “local response capability”.

 

Mr Morrison said Australia needs to be able to react quickly if there is an outbreak of the virus to suppress the spread and make sure it doesn’t move to other areas.

 

He used the current outbreak in Tasmania as an example, saying the authorities have been moving very quickly to contain it.

 

“There will be other outbreaks, and other parts of the country, and in all states and territories, we need that ability to move very fast to be able to lock down an outbreak where it occurs and make sure it does not transmit or broadly within the community,” Mr Morrison said.

 

The PM said if Australia is going to “move to an environment with fewer restrictions then you need these three things in place”.

 

He said the National Cabinet agrees that the next four weeks will be used to get these in place so the country can start easing the rules that have been put in place.

 

“We want to be very clear with Australians – baseline restrictions we have in place at the moment there are no plans to change those for the next four weeks,” Mr Morrison said.

Jeffrey Epstein's victims could have chance to sue Prince Andrew after they get cash payout from disgraced financier's estate, legal papers show

 

Jeffrey Epstein's victims have left the door open to sue Prince Andrew after they receive compensation from the dead paedophile’s estate, legal documents reveal.

 

The women are close to striking a deal with the £513million estate of the Wall Street financier, who was close friends with the Duke of York.

 

But lawyers representing the victims, who include Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts, say they will not let ‘certain individuals’ escape liability through the agreement.

 

In an explosive email, Miss Roberts’s lawyer David Boies names ‘Prince Andrew or others to whom our clients were trafficked’ among those individuals.

 

Miss Roberts claims she had sex with the duke three times aged 17 when she was Epstein’s ‘slave’ – claims Andrew emphatically denies.

 

US prosecutors and the FBI have been trying to get Andrew to answer questions about his association with Epstein for months – but say he has failed to respond.

 

The new documents were filed this week to the Superior Court of the US Virgin Islands, which is handling Epstein’s will.

 

Lawyers representing dozens of women are negotiating with the co-executors of Epstein’s estate about the terms under which they will receive compensation.

 

One outstanding issue is a ‘release’ document to be signed by the victims which would protect a number of Epstein’s former associates against legal liability for their actions.

 

On April 7, Mr Boies wrote to the co-executors that any settlement cannot allow Andrew to be ‘released’ – but the overall terms of the release were acceptable.

 

He said victims should have in the release ‘a space to make clear that certain individuals (e.g. Prince Andrew or others to whom our clients were trafficked) are not released’.

 

This means that if the victims receive payments – expected to be in the millions of pounds – they can still try to pursue the duke.

 

Lawyers for Andrew declined to comment on Wednesday night.

How we'll commemorate Anzac Day 2020 during COVID-19 restrictions

 

Anzac Day 2020 will be unlike any other. For the first time in a century the streets will be empty; there will be no suburban dawn services, mid-morning marches or afternoon two-up matches.

 

Instead Australians are asked to unite and recognise past and current armed services personnel by standing in their driveways or living rooms at 6:00am for a dawn service with a difference.

 

The RSL has also encouraged people to take part in a Community Ode by recording a video of themselves reciting The Ode and posting it to social media in the lead-up to ANZAC Day

 

"The Ode is a crucial element of all ANZAC Day services, its words embedded in the hearts and minds of Australians as a way we can solemnly communicate our enduring appreciation for those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. The Ode is also an enduring promise that we will continue to honour them, and never forget," Acting President of RSL NSW Ray James said.

 

"This year, as we cannot come together in person, these video messages alongside any personal messages of support will be one way we all come together in our time of commemoration, albeit virtually."

 

The Albury RSL sub-branch is also using technology to bring the local community together.

 

Local radio station 2AY will play prerecorded elements of the traditional dawn service at 6am.

 

"We are looking at it as an opportunity," sub-branch president Graham Docksey said.

 

"I have lined up an MC, a chaplain and a bag piper. We will sing hymns and the national anthem."

 

The 10am service will also be broadcast with listeners invited to participate in the nation's unofficial national anthem 'I am Australian'.

 

"Each year we try and build a bit on what we did previously. This year we will do things a little differently," Mr Docksey said.

 

The Australian War Memorial Anzac day service is scheduled to proceed and will be broadcast on the ABC from 5:30am AEST.

 

The service will involve a revised ceremony with no veterans' march and no members of the public present.

 

"Anzac Day is a symbolic day for Australians and New Zealanders with the Australian War Memorial being the centre of Australia's national commemoration," Anne Bennie, assistant director of public programs said.

 

"Due to COVID-19 the Memorial is not open to the public and we will be encouraging people to mark Anzac Day respectfully from their homes."

 

At 11:30am local time, a two-minute reflection video will be live-streamed across all ABC local radio Facebook pages and on the ABC News Facebook page.

I woke up this morning at 5 to Five and saw some things I couldn't believe.

 

After watching out of darkness I noticed 4 of my connections with people on instagram are unknowingly or knowingly in the act.

 

I was scared and played my hand. This cause them to go onto an offensive and i noticed 6 of them turn on me. All I could wonder was who is X again? Didn't know what to do or where to run. Things are Smaller then you can imagine but silent observers will pick these things up. They are also most prone to accidents.

 

The greatest weapon is one you never have to pick up.

Senate Judiciary Committee Releases Transcripts of George Papadopoulos and FBI Spies — The FBI Spies Were Recording Their Conversations

 

On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee released key material related to the Obama FISA Abuse Scandal.

 

In addition to the transcripts, the Committee released other material related to the Committee’s investigation into Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) actions leading up to and during the Crossfire Hurricane operation, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant process.

 

Today, the Committee released three categories of material.

 

  • Declassified DOJ materials related to the Crossfire Hurricane operation.

 

  • Timeline of correspondence sent or received by Chairman Graham and Committee activity regarding the FISA abuse investigation.

 

  • Corrective actions taken by DOJ and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as a result of the FISA abuse investigation.

 

In response to Graham’s letters on March 7, August 29, and December 19, 2019 urging Attorney General Barr to declassify as much material as possible relating to the abuse of the FISA process targeting the Trump campaign, DOJ has produced the following documents:

 

Confidential human source transcripts related to the Crossfire Hurricane operation

 

  • Transcript of George Papadopoulos and FBI Confidential Human Source (declassified March 13, 2020) (document)

 

  • Transcript of George Papadopoulos and FBI Confidential Human Source (declassified April 1, 2020) (document)

 

FISA Warrant Application for Carter Page and Three Subsequent Renewals

 

  • FISA Warrant Application for Carter Page (document)

 

  • FISA Warrant Application for Carter Page, Renewal One (document)

 

  • FISA Warrant Application for Carter Page, Renewal Two (document)

 

  • FISA Warrant Application for Carter Page, Renewal Three (document)

 

  • A July 2018 letter from DOJ to the FISA court alerting the court to some of the significant errors and omissions in the Carter Page FISA applications (letter)

 

Here is the transcript of George Papadopoulos and the confidential human resource who was sent to spy on the young Trump Campaign official.

Papadopoulos Reacts to Declassification of Spygate Transcripts: “Durham Knows” Who Sent Clinton Errand Boy to Meet with Me in London

 

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham declassified and released Carter Page FISA documents and transcripts of George Papadopoulos and the FBI spies.

 

Today, the Committee released three categories of material.

 

  • Declassified DOJ materials related to the Crossfire Hurricane operation.

 

  • Timeline of correspondence sent or received by Chairman Graham and Committee activity regarding the FISA abuse investigation.

 

*Corrective actions taken by DOJ and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as a result of the FISA abuse investigation.

 

Trump’s 2016 foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos reacted to the declassification and release of the Spygate transcripts.

 

The most important question that still needs to be answered is who sent Australian diplomat to the UK Alexander Downer to meet with George Papadopoulos in the Spring of 2016?

 

Recall, Alexander Downer’s meeting with George Papadopoulos in a London pub in May of 2016 is was sparked the entire “Trump-Russia” probe.

 

Downer tipped off the FBI in a memorandum he wrote following his meeting with Papadopoulos.

 

Downer told the FBI that Papadopoulos claimed Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton and they might release damaging information on her before election day.

 

Who sent Downer to meet with Papadopoulos?

 

“Durham knows,” said Papadopoulos in a tweet Thursday evening.

 

PAPADOPOULOS: Senator Graham in his letter to Australia made it clear that Alexander Downer was instructed to meet with me. Mueller’s team acknowledged he was recording me after I reported him to them (the irony). The key question is, who put the Clinton errand boy up to it? Durham knows

 

US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham was appointed by AG Bill Barr last May to investigate the origins of Spygate.

 

Durham is reportedly focusing on former CIA Director John Brennan and his role in Spygate and false statements he made to Congress.

Bushfires, bots and the spread of disinformation

 

15 Jan 2020 | Elise Thomas

 

QAnon conspiracy theorists have integrated the bushfires into their broader conspiracy that US President Donald Trump is waging a secret battle against a powerful cabal of elite cannibalistic paedophiles. Believers in the ‘Agenda 21/Agenda 2030’ conspiracy theory see it as proof of ‘weaponised weather control’ aimed at consolidating a United Nations–led global takeover. Islamophobes are blaming Muslim arsonists—and getting thousands of likes.

Qanon Deploys 'Information Warfare' to Influence the 2020 Election

 

The conspiracy movement lost its online home when 8chan was shut down. Followers migrated to other sites—and have set their sights on the presidential race.

 

ELISE THOMAS - 02.17.2020

 

The Qanon conspiracy theory is based on the belief that Trump and a mysterious individual known as “Q” are battling against a powerful cabal of elite pedophiles in the media and Democratic Party. Q supposedly communicated with their followers through encoded posts known as ”Q drops” on the quasi-anonymous forum 8chan. After 8chan was taken down, Q, or someone using the Q persona, resumed posting on 8kun.

 

Beginning early last year, Qanon followers more explicitly embraced concepts of “information warfare,” efforts to shape narratives and people’s beliefs to influence events. The Russian interference in the US elections in 2016 has been described as information warfare. In a February 2019 thread titled "Welcome to Information Warfare" on Endchan's Qanon research forum, a poster exhorted fellow users to "[g]et ready for a new phase in the battle anons: the fight to take back the narrative from the [mainstream media].” Now, Qanon users are trying to wield the same tactics to shape the political narrative for 2020.

Far-right groups and conspiracy theories are being brought together through the internet

 

By Elise Thomas - Posted 27 Feb 2020

 

QAnon adherents believe that Trump is waging a secret war with a "deep state" cabal of elite paedophile cannibals, alongside an undercover operative known as "Q" who posts coded messages on 8chan, now called 8kun.

 

Its genesis, at least in part, is drawn from the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which claimed several US restaurants and high-ranking officials of the Democratic Party were linked to an alleged human trafficking and child sex ring.

 

The QAnon conspiracy theory was closely tied to the community of users on 8chan, the now-infamous online forum where multiple far-right extremists have posted manifestos before launching their attacks (8chan was briefly driven offline in 2019, but has since reincarnated under the name 8kun).

Coronavirus denial spreading on social media

 

15 Apr 2020 | Elise Thomas

 

Google’s search trend data shows clearly the day the ‘empty hospitals’ narrative took off. The #filmyourhospitals hashtag was first tweeted on 29 March by a QAnon conspiracy theorist on Twitter. It was then amplified by others with large numbers of followers, including former congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine Tesoriero (whose Twitter account was recently retweeted by President Donald Trump).

 

The trend may have started with US-based QAnon conspiracy theorists, but its reach is growing by the day. Although most of the activity is still in the US, variants of the trend now exist in multiple countries and in multiple languages.

 

Parsing exactly what these individuals believe and why they believe it will be a complex process (there is never just one version of a conspiracy theory), and it’s likely that multiple strains of QAnon, anti-vaxxer and anti-New World Order conspiracy groups are active on these hashtags. Understanding the variations of the conspiracy is probably less important in the short term than simply getting on top of this trend before it spreads further and causes real damage.

Australian Strategic Policy Institute - Counterterrorism Yearbook 2020

 

30 MARCH 2020 - By Isaac Kfir and John Coyne

 

This year’s Counterterrorism Yearbook draws upon 19 contributing authors, each a renowned thought leader in their field, to promote practical counterterrorism solutions by reviewing a global range of terrorism developments and counterterrorism responses.

 

ASIO’s Director General, Mike Burgess commends the publication for its ‘valuable contribution to the public discourse on counterterrorism’.

 

While maintaining its geographic focus, the Yearbook now includes thematic chapters on mental health, strategic policing, the media, the terror–crime nexus and terrorist innovation.

 

These new thematic chapters have been included to encourage governments to consider more proactive CT agendas that move beyond the current focus on disrupting plots and discouraging people from joining and supporting terrorist groups. The focus here has been on promoting new thinking on how to deal with emergent areas of concern, such as comorbidity of mental health, use of gaming platforms, and artificial intelligence.

MANIFESTOS, MEMETIC MOBILISATION AND THE CHAN BOARDS IN THE CHRISTCHURCH SHOOTING

 

ELISE THOMAS

 

Researcher, International Cyber Policy Centre, ASPI

 

Canberra, Australia

 

The significance of the Christchurch shooting video and manifesto isn’t (just) that it reached more mainstream internet users than perhaps any other such alt-right terrorist content to date. It’s that it successfully moved an unknown number of users in online extremist communities from being passive consumers and conservators to become active propagandists—or worse.

 

Since the Christchurch shooting, at least three other terrorist attacks with direct links to the 8chan community have occurred in the US and Germany.

 

Each of the attackers appears to have tried to emulate the virality of Tarrant’s manifesto and live stream, although none had the same success. The two American perpetrators posted manifestos to 8chan, both of which directly cited Tarrant as an inspiration. By the time of the attack in Halle, Germany, the 8chan forum had been taken down (although it’s since been revived as 8kun), so instead the attacker posted his links to an obscure forum loosely affiliated with 4chan. His manifesto contained direct references to 8chan.

 

It’s of course impossible to know whether the Christchurch video and manifesto played a decisive role in inspiring those attacks, or whether they would have occurred even without Tarrant as an example to copy.

 

What’s clear is that even if well-intentioned efforts to prevent content like this from reaching mainstream audiences in the future succeed, they won’t address the most significant threat: the radicalisation of the online extremist communities who are the true target audience.

 

The return of 8chan in its latest incarnation as 8kun in November 2019 will add a new dynamic to the mix (assuming it manages to stay online in the face of both legal and what might delicately be termed ‘extra-legal’ efforts to take it down), but it may be that the more extreme users who have already shifted to Telegram won’t return to the clearnet version of the forum (there are also Tor and Lokinet versions). This would make the community more difficult for new users to access—but also create the risk that it could become even more insular and radicalised.

China must come clean on coronavirus, former Australian foreign minister Alexander Downer says

 

China must come clean on coronavirus or it will "arouse the wrath" of the world, former foreign minister Alexander Downer warns.

 

The broad scientific consensus holds that SARS-CoV-2, the virus' official name, originated in bats.

 

But Mr Downer says there's still speculation on whether it jumped to humans directly, in wet markets or escaped from scientific labs.

 

He's told the Australia-UK Chamber of Commerce that the world will demand answers from China after the pandemic.

 

"For China this is a slow burn. So far China sending masks and testing kits, some of which apparently don't work too well, to other countries and saying, 'Oh look we're here to help you'," Mr Downer told a webinar on Friday.

 

"Come on guys, you started it in the first place, let's find out how that happened and let's do our best to make sure that can never happen again."

 

"If China resists that I think that they will arouse the wrath of the international community."

 

Mr Downer says if China isn't transparent, some countries will try to counter its global influence "which will be confrontational and prima facie not to be encouraged".

 

He called for China and World Health Organization to lead a probe, but it must involve scientists from the international community, including the West.

 

"There has to be a proper investigation into how this happened, where it came from, and China will be, I think in time, be put under huge pressure to agree to that investigation," he said.

 

Mr Downer also said Chinese exporters could suffer as countries reviewed their supply chains for raw materials and essential products.

 

The former foreign minister believes Australia and the UK in particular will mull their dependence on Chinese pharmaceuticals and rare earth metals like lithium.

 

"There will be an examination of these things and a realisation that we've perhaps become too dependent on China and other parts of the world and we're going to have to become a little bit more independent," he said.

Downer raised Russia concerns at US embassy without government approval

 

Former foreign minister Alexander Downer acted without clearance from Australian officials when he contacted United States diplomats four years ago to raise concerns about potential Russian interference in the US presidential election.

 

A new memoir by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull reveals that Mr Downer raised his concerns directly with the US embassy in London in July 2016 but had "no authority from Canberra" to do so.

 

The move was crucial to the launch of an FBI investigation into the Russian support for the election of US President Donald Trump, who dismissed the inquiry as a "witch-hunt" and ordered an inquiry into the affair.

 

Mr Downer, the Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom at the time, met Trump aide George Papadopoulos in London in May 2016 and was told the Russians had "damaging" material on Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton.

 

While Mr Downer mentioned this in a cable to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the information was not acted upon until he later chose to raise it with the deputy at the US embassy in London, Elizabeth Dibble.

 

In his new memoir, A Bigger Picture, Mr Turnbull says Mr Downer did this without checking with the department.

Is Qanon, and the interest surrounding it, different than an “American right-wing,” or “Trump-defending” conspiracy? Would the American mainstream media tell you if it was? How large and far-reaching is the impact of QAnon?

Turnbull publisher names Morrison office in 'massive' book breach

 

Malcolm Turnbull’s publisher has fired off a legal warning to a top aide in the Morrison government claiming a “massive” breach of copyright over the former prime minister’s new book.

 

Furious at the spread of pirated copies of the e-book to people within the government, publishing company Hardie Grant sent the demand on Saturday night claiming “malicious conduct” by the staff member in the Prime Minister’s Office.

 

The move came hours after the publisher was alerted to the distribution of the electronic version of the book to government staffers and at least one Liberal MP, days before the e-book becomes available to paying readers on Monday.

 

Hardie Grant publisher Sandy Grant said the e-book version of the new memoir, A Bigger Picture, had been hacked or pirated and the firm was taking legal action to bring the problem under control.

 

“What drew this to our attention was the distribution of the pirated edition from an address from within the PMO, sent to people who reported the illegal edition,” he said.

 

“Piracy is a problem for bestselling books and our lawyers have taken immediate action to make it clear we intend to take action against the person seemingly distributing A Bigger Picture widely and illegally, as a well as any site sharing the file.”

 

The publisher became concerned about a copyright breach on Thursday when a leaked copy of the book was obtained by a journalist at News Corp Australia’s The Australian.

 

Only on Saturday did Mr Turnbull and the publishing company discover the spread of the e-book, with one email claiming a person had sent it to "millions" of others.

 

Mr Grant said the distribution of the e-book “makes me wonder” about the News Corp access to the memoir.

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has brushed off questions about Mr Turnbull’s memoir in recent days, saying he is “not interested” in it and focused on responding to the COVID-19 virus.

 

But the book is a political issue for the Prime Minister and his office, given it says Mr Morrison played a “double game” in the leadership turmoil that cost Mr Turnbull his job in August 2018 and also claims he weakened the government with his handling of tax reform as treasurer in early 2016.

'Trump kept talking over the top of me': Turnbull recounts tense call

 

A furious Donald Trump berated then-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull over a deal to resettle hundreds of refugees, only to joke about the agreement months later by claiming 2000 “terrorists” would come to America.

 

The US President swung wildly in the negotiations to resettle asylum seekers from Manus Island and Nauru, in a pattern repeated in volatile talks to give Australia valuable exemptions in Mr Trump’s trade war with China.

 

Recounting the clashes and compromises in a new memoir, Mr Turnbull tells of a colleague going “white with horror” at Mr Trump’s ferocity about the refugee deal in a notorious phone conversation in January 2017.

 

Mr Turnbull also reveals a conversation with Barack Obama in the White House in January 2016 when the then-president dismissed the chances of Mr Trump winning the presidential election in November that year.

 

“Don’t worry, Malcolm. The American people will never elect a lunatic to sit in this office,” Mr Obama is reported as saying in Mr Turnbull’s new book, A Bigger Picture.

 

But with Mr Trump in power, the prime minister chose to approach him as a billionaire rather than a traditional politician and stick to Australia’s position on the refugee deal agreed with Mr Obama in 2016.

 

Mr Turnbull reveals the agreement was largely settled in September 2016 but only announced on November 13, five days after the US election, in part to prevent Mr Trump turning it into an election issue.

 

“I spoke with Trump’s incoming chief of staff, Reince Priebus, on 7 December and he gave me every impression they’d stick with the deal,” Mr Turnbull writes, adding that he received a similar assurance from Mr Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

 

But hours before the phone call in January 2017, US Vice President Mike Pence called then foreign minister Julie Bishop and told her the President had changed his mind and Mr Turnbull should not mention it.

 

“As his anger rose, Trump kept talking over the top of me, with more intensity,” Mr Turnbull writes of the phone call.

 

“It was as though at times he was talking to himself or perhaps to the people in the room, which of course included [then presidential adviser] Steve Bannon, one of the deal’s fiercest opponents.

 

“At one point, I looked up from the phone across my desk to [senior adviser] David Bold – his face was white with horror – so I turned to look out the window instead.”

 

When an account of the conversation was leaked to the US media, Mr Turnbull assumed the source was Mr Bannon attempting to block the deal or distance the President from it.

 

Yet the conflict was smoothed over when Mr Turnbull flew to New York in May 2017 to meet Mr Trump at a ceremony to commemorate the Battle of the Coral Sea, where the influence of News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch was also apparent.

 

“When Trump arrived, he was accompanied by [former New York mayor] Rudy Giuliani and Rupert Murdoch,” Mr Turnbull writes.

 

“His deference to Murdoch was greater than I’ve ever seen from any Australian politician and was in marked contrast to the high-handed way Trump treats most people.

 

“When he asked me if Rupert could join us for our bilateral discussion between leaders, I told him that wasn’t a good idea.

 

“He talked about Kerry Packer a lot; he knew I’d been Kerry’s lawyer and ‘kept him out of jail’, something Donald mentioned every time we met.”

 

When Mr Trump asked his wife, Melania, to join the talks, he joked with Mr Turnbull about the refugee deal he had been so angry about months earlier.

Here are my decode skills. From what I think it means:

  • Typewriter - meaning they're tracking his electronics communications

  • 11:34; 2:34; 2:322. Not sure what the 2 means, but 322 is skull and bones.

  • 1) Haircut. Very interesting pickup. He said he got diagnosed on March. Possible meaning he was caught on March. Military trail? Only Military has those kind of haircuts.

3) I do believe your decode is good. It's got to do with Clinton Foundation. CH maybe Child Handling? I havn't seen this CH before, but reminds me of Ray Chandler (Child Handler).

6) He mentions discs too. Maybe he's got tracking anklets.

7) Yes your decode is good.

 

Other stuff I noticed:

  • His hand is behind his back a lot. He's doing the show not of his own free will? As in his hands are tied and he must send the comms out?

  • One of the shots, he has a scarf around his neck, maybe they going to hang him. That would be good.

  • Also one of the background is Lincoln. Not sure what this is about.

 

Also, the Q card, you'll see it has Baby on it! I recken he's getting charged for his crimes against childrens!

Australia Adds Voice to Growing Calls for China Coronavirus Enquiry

Sunday April 19, 2020

(Posted on QR Main Thread #11329)

 

Australia on Sunday joined global calls for China to explain itself over its bungled handling of the deadly coronavirus pandemic, questioning its transparency and demanding an international investigation into the origins of the virus and how it flooded the globe.

 

Australia’s foreign minister, Marise Payne, said her concern about China’s transparency was at a “a very high point”and reflected previous doubts in Canberra over the performance of the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), as Breitbart News reported.

 

“The issues around the coronavirus are issues for independent review, and I think that it is important that we do that,” Payne told ABC television. “In fact, Australia will absolutely insist on that.”

Police bust ‘horrific’ child sex abuse ring spread across five states

 

A global child exploitation sting triggered by a US Department of Homeland Security investigation has rescued four Australian children as young as two months old who were used to produce and ­exchange child rape videos and images through online pedophile networks around the world.

 

In one of the largest joint operations in the country — led by the Australian Federal Police and spread across five states — 16 ­people have been charged with 728 child exploitation and sexual abuse ­offences following a two-year ­investigation into the online ­exchange of child pornography.

 

The Australian understands that the four children were aged between two months and eight years and are believed to be ­related to those who had sexually abused them and then exchanged the graphic images through highly encrypted web forums.

These are just Notes. Please let me know if anything incorrect or misrepresented:

 

  • AUSTRALIA jurisdiction 200m offshore of the land Australia to 200 naughtal miles. This is citizenSHIP, because it's in the water/ocean. Company. You're given a license, a birth certificate. If you do something wrong, you get locked up. You need a license to be in Australia. Maritime Law. Private Company.

  • OLD PARLIAMENT HOUSE is vacant. Waiting for Australians to come back, and is needed to accept people who denounce their Citizenship.

  • Australian Resident = AUSTRALIA. You live in the waters.

  • We need license to come back to the Land Australia.

  • All ships are in capital letters. AUSTRALIA is a ship.

  • Australia the land itself, is Australia (not AUSTRALIA). Australia is not AUSTRALIA.

  • AUSTRALIA is administrator of Australia.

  • Note: Your Drivers License, your name will be in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

  • AUSTRALIA citizenship, you are a defender of Australia. You are in its administration AUSTRALIA. You are living in the administrative part of Australia.

  • Good people to note: Wayne Glue, Rod Callanum, Steven Spiers. They are on the right track, but they're asking AUSTRALIA to stand down, but they are part of AUSTRALIA, so be tricky here. Authority must come from Australia, not AUSTRALIA. Must find a way to become Australia National, which is the land Australia.

  • AUSTRALIA Citizenship, you must denounce it to come back to Australia national, but Old Parliament house is empty, so we must first fill it to accept people back to becoming an Australian National.

  • Australia = Certificate of Birth. AUSTRALIA = State Birth Certificate.

  • AUSTRALIA is owned by District of Columbia!!! Private foreign ownership.

 

  • AUSTRALIA = Debetor. Defender. Dead in the water. Australia = Creditor. Defender of the Cargo of the Ship.

  • We need to get a Certificate of Birth. We need to leave AUSTRALIA to get into Australia. We need 25 Commonwealth Nationals to start this process. This way, any bill from AUSTRALIA dont go to District of Columbia, it goes to Australia. That's how you control AUSTRALIA.

16 charged in national operation targeting web site selling child abuse material

 

A two-year effort by Australian law enforcement and the United States Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has resulted in 16 people in Australia being charged with 738 child exploitation offences.

 

Starting in 2018, matters were regularly referred to Australian authorities by HSI following their investigations into an online web site where users paid to access child abuse material.

 

The investigation involved officers from state and territory police, working together with the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) and the Australian Federal Police’s Joint Anti Child Exploitation Teams.

 

Australian police partnered with international law enforcement, including investigators from the HSI office in Phoenix, Arizona, who initiated the investigation into an illicit online marketplace where users paid for access to child abuse material.

 

With the assistance of the HSI Cyber Crimes Centre, the HSI EL Paso Forensics Program, HSI International Operations, HSI Forced Child Labor Unit, INTERPOL and EUROPOL, information on registered users of the illicit marketplace was disseminated to multiple states in the United States and to international partners around the world, including Australian law enforcement.

 

The ACCCE-facilitated Australian response, Operation Walwa, captures the collective effort of the AFP, state and territory police and Joint Anti Child Exploitation Teams (JACETs).

 

In total, Australian investigators executed 18 search warrants and arrested 16 people on 738 charges.

 

Authorities were able to remove four Australian children from further harm.

 

AFP Assistant Commissioner ACCCE and Child Protection Lesa Gale said the results of Operation Walwa were a timely reminder of the risks associated with children being online.

 

“This has been a long-running joint effort by law enforcement across Australia and we’re happy to see the results that can be achieved when resources are used together, particular in the current online environment,” Assistant Commissioner Gale said.

 

HSI Australia Attaché Adam Parks said the arrests came at a critical time.

 

“More so than ever, children are increasingly online for their schooling, to socialize with their friends and family, and to play games,” Attaché Parks said.

 

“Let this be a warning that law enforcement is undeterred by COVID-19 and remains on-duty to keep our children safe in Australia, the U.S., and online.”

 

Detective Superintendent Denzil Clark from the Queensland Police Service Child Abuse and Sexual Crimes Group said strong law enforcement partnerships and a whole-of-community response are crucial to protect children from online predators.

 

“Queensland Police will continue sharing our expertise and working collaboratively with our national, interstate and international counterparts to target those who pose a risk to children in our community,” Detective Superintendent Clark said.

 

Detective Superintendent John Kerlatec from the NSW Police Force Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad urged parents to speak to their children about the dangers associated with online conversations.

 

“At this time, particularly with more children online during COVID-19 restrictions, we are encouraging parents to remain vigilant and monitor their usage, as well as what websites they are visiting and who they may be speaking with.

 

“Across Australia, there are specialist officers that investigate the sexual exploitation of children online and via telecommunication systems, and through this national collaboration there is a strong focus on detecting and prosecuting those who seek to prey on children,” Detective Superintendent Kerlatec said.

Victoria Police JACET manager, Detective Acting Inspector Karen Bennett described the considerable effects these crimes have on children, their families and the wider community.

 

“These crimes see people using significant established networks to share child abuse material and take advantage of vulnerable children. They have devastating impacts for victims and the wider community,” Detective Acting Inspector Bennett said.

 

“Victoria Police will continue working closely with partner agencies to address this considerable issue both in Australia and overseas.

 

“We will continue to develop and employ various investigative techniques which allow us to target people actively grooming and attempting to procure children, and accessing child abuse material.”

 

Detective Superintendent Mark Wieszyk, OC Public Protection Branch of the South Australia Police said that the SA JACET is dedicated to combat child exploitation.

 

“SA JACET regularly works with overseas law enforcement agencies to keep children safe from exploitation,” Detective Superintendent Wieszyk said.

 

The ACCCE are committed to stopping child exploitation and abuse, and is at the centre of a collaborative national approach to combatting organised child abuse.

 

The Centre brings together specialist expertise and skills in a central hub, supporting investigations into child sexual abuse and developing prevention strategies focused on creating a safer online environment.

 

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in the possession or sharing of child exploitation material are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

 

You can also make a report online by alerting the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation via the Report Abuse button at www.accce.gov.au/report

''Note to media:''

 

USE OF TERMS ‘CHILD ABUSE’, NOT ‘CHILD PORNOGRAPHY’

 

Use of the phrase “child pornography” benefits child sex abusers because it:

 

* indicates legitimacy and compliance on the part of the victim and therefore legality on the part of the abuser; and

 

* conjures images of children posing in ‘provocative’ positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse.

 

Every photograph captures an actual situation where a child has been abused. This is not “pornography”.

New George Papadopoulos Tweets

 

I always said the Clinton errand boy, Alexander Downer, was a wannabe spy. Just like everything else on the spy story, I am proven correct. It’s time for the administration to declassify his role in trying to sabotage the campaign. Who sent him against me? That will be clear soon

 

https://twitter.com/GeorgePapa19/status/1251969847413506048

 

 

Remember when the Australian prime minister was on a call mocking and lying directly to the President about the “innocence” of Alexander Downer’s “meeting” with me? I always said it was a spy op designed to harm the campaign. I was right. President should call Australia about it

Alexander Downer was hostile and 'played me' former Trump aide says

 

A one-time Trump aide has accused former foreign minister Alexander Downer of being an Elvis Costello lookalike who was the most inappropriate diplomat he had ever met.

 

In his explosive memoir Deep State Target - out this week - George Papadopoulos devotes the chapter 'The Devil from Down Under' to his 2016 meeting with the then UK High Commissioner.

 

It sets out the meeting with Downer in which Papadopoulos is accused of claiming the Russians had damaging intelligence on Hillary Clinton, which Downer then passed on to the Australian government.

 

He said he was stunned” at “how unprofessional and hostile” the “stretched out grey haired version of New Wave pop star Elvis Costello” was.

 

Papadopoulos accuses Downer of labelling then US president Barack Obama “an uppity, arrogant guy .. a comment I sense carries racial undertones”.

 

“I’m stunned by this senior diplomat’s bullying manner. I’ve had warmer greetings from ex-girlfriends,” he wrote.

 

Downer and Papadopoulos met at a London wine bar in May 2016 when Papadopoulos was a foreign aide on the Trump campaign.

 

He said it was a meeting that had destroyed his career and finances.

 

Papadopoulos was eventually caught up in the Mueller probe and sentenced to two weeks’ prison after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI.

 

And in the book, he blames Downer for it.

 

Papadopoulos said Downer had recorded their conversation on a phone.

 

He said Downer had told Australian intelligence that Papadopoulos had informed him Russia had damaging intel on Hillary Clinton.

 

The Australians then told their US counterparts.

 

But Papadopoulos denied having any memory of saying it and writes that Downer steered the conversation to Clinton.

 

“Was he trying to bait me into saying something that could spark an investigation. I believe so,” he wrote.

 

“This meeting was anything but random.”

 

“It’s hard not to think I got played, that he went into our meeting gunning for me, tripping me and goading me,” he said.

 

"I believe Australian and UK intelligence were involved in an active operation to target Trump and his associates," Papadopoulos told AAP yesterday.

 

However, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has denied the claim. Papadopoulos also claimed Downer was critical of his approach to Cyprus and his interest in promoting co-operation between Greece Cyprus and Israel.

 

“The Turks deserve the north of Cyprus … The energy fields in Cyrus and Israel, turkey should be the gateway for that energy and not Greece” Papadopoulos claims Downer told him.

 

In 2012, Downer was accused by the Cypriot parliament of “bias’ for using the term “Greek Cypriots” instead of simply Cyprus during a stint as UN Envoy to the divided island.

 

DFAT notes that Australia’s official position is to “support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus” and not the 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus”.

US spy boss James Robert Clapper Jr makes secretive visit to Australia

 

Posted 16 Mar 2016

 

America's top spy, the US Director of National Intelligence, is on a secret visit to Australia, the ABC has learnt.

 

James Robert Clapper Jr directs the US National Intelligence Program and reports directly to President Barack Obama.

 

So far the Federal Government is refusing to give any details of his activities and meetings while in Australia, but the United States embassy in Canberra has confirmed Mr Clapper's visit.

 

"As allies, the United States and Australia cooperate closely on a wide range of issues," an embassy spokeswoman told the ABC.

 

"It is not uncommon that senior US Government officials visit Australia and engage in high-level consultations."

 

Before flying to Australia Mr Clapper stopped over in New Zealand where he met with Prime Minister John Key.

 

"I've met General Clapper on a couple of occasions. He's obviously got great insight into intelligence and what's happening around the world," Mr Key said.

 

The US intelligence chief is believed to be travelling onboard a US military C-17 Globemaster.

 

Last week the Australian Federal Police hosted the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation James B Comey on a two-day visit to Australia.

 

Mr Comey also met with Attorney-General George Brandis and Justice Minister Michael Keenan.

Remember when the Australian prime minister was on a call mocking and lying directly to the President about the “innocence” of Alexander Downer’s “meeting” with me? I always said it was a spy op designed to harm the campaign. I was right. POTUS should raise this with Australia

 

https://twitter.com/GeorgePapa19/status/1252057820200988672

 

 

The Australian government was lying directly to the President with the hope that he would get caught up in a fake “obstruction” trap by Mueller and all of this would be swept under the rug. We want all this to come out, right?

'Nothing particularly disturbing': Coronavirus app safe, review finds

 

The independent cyber security body tasked with reviewing the government's coronavirus tracing application has said it has no major concerns about the app.

 

The Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre, which was allowed to review the app after several MPs raised concerns the data collected could be pervasive or mishandled, said it found "nothing particular disturbing" in the app's architecture.

 

"I'm pleased with what I've seen to date," the centre's chief executive officer, Rachael Falk, said. "There's very little private data obtained."

 

The Morrison government wants at least 40 per cent of Australians to download the app, expected to be made available by the end of the week, onto their phones to automate much of the contact tracing process that occurs once someone is found to have coronavirus.

 

Using bluetooth, the app will be able to identify which users are near other users - it notes down the anonymous ID of any app users who are within 1.5 metres of each other for more than 15 minutes. If a user tests positive to coronavirus, they will then be asked to send that data off to the central government database so any contacts can be traced.

 

"There's not much there that is concerning," Ms Falk said. "If it's not shared with anyone other than local health authorities and it's being shared in a way that's transparent with the public, I personally will download [it]."

 

"I'm confident with the type of data that's being taken. It's not a big data set that's particularly personal," she said.

 

The app will record your phone number, name, postcode and an age range, according to Government Services Minister Stuart Robert.

 

It is designed to supplement the existing contact tracing regime, which relies on interviewing coronavirus patients in hopes they can recall where they had been recently and who they had been with. The government has ruled out making the app compulsory, and has said law enforcement agencies will not be able to access the information.

 

"It would help for example if I'm standing in a supermarket queue and someone behind me happens to have a positive test later," Ms Falk said. "This will help track and trace really quickly."

 

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Nick Coatsworth urged Australians to download the tracing app on Monday, saying it would be "the icing on the cake" for Australia's "very well-oiled" contact tracing regime.

 

The Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre, which the federal government has committed $50 million to, has scrutinised the app alongside the Australian Cyber Security Centre and the Australian Signals Directorate.

 

The centre was allowed to examine the app's source code and architecture documents to complete its report, but was not told which companies helped develop the app.

 

It will hand its review to the government by Tuesday.

Resignations in the news

 

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg announces sudden resignation

 

Under-fire NRL CEO Todd Greenberg has stepped down from his role effective immediately.

 

The chief executive’s position has been a topic of hot discussion even before the current shutdown brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

On Monday afternoon, however, Greenberg officially ended his four-year reign as NRL chief executive.

 

The 49-year-old stood down with the NRL claiming it was with "mutual agreement" after "reflecting on the needs of the game".

 

He will be replaced by chief commercial officer Andrew Abdo in the interim as part of the first big shake-up of the Peter V'landys era.

 

Under pressure to keep his job for the past month, Greenberg's exit comes after meetings between broadcasters and the NRL about the competition's structure.

 

Greenberg had come under fire from the game's free-to-air broadcaster Nine Network earlier this month, when it accused the league of financial mismanagement.

 

"It has been my great honour and privilege to be the CEO of the NRL for the last four years," Greenberg said in a statement.

 

"Despite the variety of challenges and pressures I have loved every single minute of the journey.

 

"Our growth over the last 4 years has been extraordinary and I am very proud of my contribution to the game.

 

"I am indebted to the game for the variety of opportunities and experiences that have been provided to my family and I, and we leave with many great memories and life long friendships.”

 

Greenberg will not take up another role in the NRL, with his involvement in the sport ending on Monday.

 

The former boss of Canterbury, Greenberg became the NRL's head of football in 2013 before he took over the reins in 2016.

 

His first major challenge came in the form of Parramatta's salary-cap scandal, while off-field behaviour proved his biggest test until coronavirus.

 

However, even before the competition was postponed last month, rumours had began to surface of frustration from clubs towards Greenberg with his contract up for renewal in 2020.

 

He was last week kept out of NRL meetings with Nine while there were significant questions around head office expenditure in recent years.

 

Greenberg had vowed to lead the charge on fixing those issues in an email to staff as late as last week, before his stint was abruptly ended.

 

"The role of Chief Executive of the NRL is one of the most challenging and difficult roles in Australian sport, with a diversity of passionate stakeholders," ARL Commission chairman V'landys said in a statement.

 

"ARLC thanks Todd for his contribution to the game over the last seven years and as Chief Executive for the last four years."

'Very surprised': ACT Health boss announces shock resignation

 

The shock resignation of ACT Health boss Michael De'Ath won't derail the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic or delivery of the $500 million Canberra hospital expansion, Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith says.

 

Ms Stephen-Smith announced in a statement on Monday afternoon that Mr De'Ath had quit his position as ACT Health Directorate director-general, effective immediately.

 

She later told a press conference that she had "conversations" with the highly-regarded executive in the past week, but conceded the resignation came with "kind of short notice".

 

Australian Medical Association ACT branch president Antonio Di Dio, who has clashed with Mr De'Ath in the past, said he was "very surprised, even amazed" to learn of the departure of the director-general, whom he now holds in high regard.

 

Ms Stephen-Smith said Mr De'Ath wanted to return to Melbourne to be with family. She said each of his three daughters had been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in some way, although she didn't elaborate on how.

 

It was understood that Mr De'Ath has already returned to Melbourne.

 

Asked if Mr De'Ath's resignation was linked in any way to the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, Ms Stephen-Smith said: "he has not conveyed to me that was part of his thinking".

 

"Obviously this past month have been very difficult for everyone," Mr Stephen-Smith said.

 

"Michael was very clear that he wanted to return to Melbourne to be with his family."

Pandemic gives Arthur Sinodinos 'baptism of fire' as US ambassador

 

Washington: When Arthur Sinodinos began his posting as Australia's ambassador to the United States at the start of February, Australians were still consumed by the bushfires that had ravaged the country throughout summer.

 

His first official duty as ambassador was to visit Dulles Airport in Virginia to meet a widow who had returned with the coffin of one of the three American firefighters who had died fighting the blazes.

 

"Our focus then was how to get tourism back and to tell Americans that Australia was open for business again," Sinodinos said.

 

A month later, the coronavirus was sweeping rapidly across the US. Washington, like other major cities, went into lockdown. Instead of trying to attract international visitors, Australia was shutting down its borders.

 

"It has been a bit of a baptism of fire," Sinodinos said of his arrival in the US capital after eight years as a Liberal senator and a long stint as John Howard's chief of staff.

 

He replaced former treasurer Joe Hockey in what is regarded as Australia's most prestigious and important diplomatic posting.

 

"The pandemic has thrown up a whole series of issues that were very different than the ones I had in my head," he told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

 

"It's been an all hands to the pump situation."

 

Instead of navigating big picture geopolitics, he has been focused on the nitty gritty of consular support.

 

"When I was preparing to take on the job, I was thinking about how to promote trade and economic links, how Australia fits into the US-China debate," he said.

 

"Then the virus erupts and we're thrown into the deep end of helping Australians who want to get home, giving advice to people who are staying in the US, dealing with Australians who are caught on cruise ships and can't get off."

 

The most tense issue, Sinodinos said, was helping Australians to get off stranded cruise ships where the virus had broken out.

 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis initially refused to let the Zaandam and Rotterdam cruise liners dock in his state, leaving 133 Australians stuck on board. Four elderly passengers on the ships had died, including two from COVID-19.

 

"We were on tenterhooks there for a while about getting those people off safely," Sinodinos said.

 

DeSantis eventually agreed to let the ships dock, allowing the Australian passengers to return home on special flights from San Francisco.

 

The early days of Sinodinos' tenure would usually have been packed with meetings, lunches and functions with Washington's power players. Relationships, after all, are the oil in the diplomatic machine.

 

Instead, the pandemic forced him to hunker down in his residence. Phone calls and video-conferencing sessions have had to suffice as a way to build connections with the Trump administration.

 

Last week, Sinodinos spoke on the phone to introduce himself to the US President's new chief of staff, Mark Meadows. "It's not the same as striking up a relationship directly but we're getting there," he said.

 

Having overcome non-Hodgkin's lymphoma last year, the 63-year-old knows it is especially important for him to practise physical distancing.

 

"Because I'd had chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, my immunity has been affected," Sinodinos said. "It does weigh on your mind."

 

When the outbreak is under control and normal life resumes, Sinodinos is looking forward to travelling outside the Washington beltway, including to manufacturing hubs in the US Midwest.

 

"One of the pieces I got before coming here was to see the rest of the country and understand the political dynamics across the country. When the opportunity arises again, I'm very keen to do that."

 

When it comes to international relations, Sinodinos does not expect a widespread return to isolationism and protectionism in a post-pandemic world as some have predicted.

 

"When we emerge from this, we have to become careful not to become generals fighting the last war," he said.

 

"There will probably be more emphasis on domestic manufacturing of medical supplies, for example, but I don't think this will lead to a new era of autarky, or self-sufficiency.

 

"Reports of the death of globalisation are very premature."

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull on how the Liberal Party operates behind closed doors | 7.30

 

Published on 20 Apr 2020

 

Malcolm Turnbull has been a major figure in Australian public life for four decades, from his time as Kerry Packer's lawyer, to the head of the Republican movement, to Opposition Leader and finally Prime Minister.

 

As we all know, his leadership ended brutally in 2018 when Mr Turnbull was challenged by his colleague Peter Dutton, although ultimately it was Scott Morrison who prevailed amidst the chaos to seize the top job.

 

What we've not heard until now is Malcolm Turnbull's inside story of what happened that week, plus during many other key moments in his colourful life, all of which are included in his new memoir, "A Bigger Picture".

Assange baby, fiancee's mum were spied on

 

A Spanish security firm tailed the mother of Julian Assange's fiancee and illegally recorded hours of footage of their baby son, court documents show.

 

Stella Morris revealed her identity as the WikiLeaks founder's fiancee on April 11, three days before a London court could lift a non-publication order on her name.

 

The 37-year-old and Assange had two children while he was seeking asylum and staying in the Ecuadorian embassy in London between 2012 and 2019.

 

A jailed Assange is now battling in a London court to avoid extradition to the US to face charges of violating spy laws and computer intrusion.

 

When he was holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy Spanish firm UC Global was providing security there.

 

But the company was allegedly spying on the Australian and his guests on behalf of the US at the same time.

 

A criminal complaint against UC Global owner David Morales is currently being probed by Spain's National Court.

 

Court documents detail the extent of the alleged spying, targeting Morris, her mother and Assange's baby boy Gabriel.

 

Morales sent an email to staff on September 21, 2017, calling for "special attention on Stella Morris".

 

He even ordered someone to tail Morris' mother, who the company had discovered was living in the Spanish province of Catalonia.

 

"If necessary, I want a person fully dedicated to this activity, so if you have to hire someone to do it, let me know," Morales wrote.

 

"All this has to be considered top secret so the dissemination will be limited."

 

UC Global had Assange and Morris' son in the cross-hairs as well with Gabriel's visits to the embassy constantly watched.

 

Hours of footage of the infant stored on company computers were handed to the Spanish court by former employees.

 

Assange and Morris tried to hide the boy's true identity by having their friend Stephen Hoo bring him for visits and claim he was the father.

 

But UC Global conducted extensive background checks on Hoo and decided that was a ruse.

 

A former staff member has given a sworn statement to the Madrid court alleging that Morales was determined to prove that Assange was Gabriel's father.

 

The protected witness says on one occasion they were even ordered to steal the baby's nappy to conduct a DNA test on his faeces.

 

A lab told Morales that DNA from the diaper couldn't be used for a paternity test, so he hatched a plan to steal the baby's pacifier, another employee told the El Pais newspaper earlier this week.

 

But with growing legal and moral concerns about the work, the witness instead decided to tip off Morris.

 

"I went to the child's mother outside the embassy and asked her please indicate that you will no longer take the child to the embassy because they planned to steal his diapers to prove that he was the son of Julian Assange," the witness' statement says.

 

UC Global allegedly spied on Ecuadorian diplomatic staff too, indicating Morales was working for the US government, Assange's lawyers say.

 

When Morales was concerned Ecuador wanted to end the security contract, he tried to use "intimate photos" of a diplomat stolen from her personal hard drive to blackmail Ecuador's foreign intelligence agency SENAIN not to pull out.

 

"These extremely private photographs were allegedly in the possession of UC GLOBAL, were printed and were part of an extortion report that sought to prevent SENAIN from terminating the contract," Assange's criminal complaint says.

 

The Australian's legal team says the Spanish evidence proves UC Global helped the US record Assange's intimate life inside the embassy.

 

That surveillance included audio recordings of his private legal discussions, his lawyers say, which gives the prosecution an unfair advantage in his US extradition trial in London.

 

Morales has denied all the allegations.

 

Assange faces 17 charges of violating the US Espionage Act and one of conspiring to commit computer intrusion.

 

He's accused of publishing thousands of secret US diplomatic and military files, some of which revealed alleged war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

The charges carry a total of 175 years' imprisonment.

Health minister recovers from COVID-19 after weeks-long illness

 

Yaakov Litzman’s office announces he has made a full recovery after twice testing negative for the coronavirus

 

Health Minister Yaakov Litzman has recovered from COVID-19 after consecutive tests for the coronavirus came back negative, the Health Ministry announced Sunday.

 

“I was notified of a full recovery from the virus, thank God. It was a great opportunity for me to become personally aware of the dedicated work of the country’s precious medical staff,” he said in a statement.

 

Litzman also urged Israelis to continue to adhere to the Health Ministry’s social distancing guidelines, saying “only in this way can we defeat the coronavirus.”

 

Health Ministry Director-General Moshe Bar Siman-Tov said in a separate statement that Litzman’s wife Chava, who was also infected, had recovered.

 

Litzman, 71, was confirmed to have the virus earlier this month, becoming the first and so far only Israeli lawmaker to contract COVID-19.

 

His diagnosis sent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials into temporary self-quarantine due to their contacts with Litzman.

 

Hours after he tested positive, a television report quoted witnesses as saying Litzman had attended group prayer services a day before in a violation of his own ministry’s guidelines.

 

Litzman, head of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, denied flouting the guidelines and brushed aside calls from opposition lawmakers to resign.

 

He also faced criticism for reportedly resisting the closure of synagogues and other religious institutions.

 

Litzman has already come under fire over the past year over allegations that he illicitly pressured officials in his office to change their psychiatric reports in order to deem alleged serial pedophile Malka Leifer unfit for extradition to Australia. Leifer has ties to Litzman’s Gur sect of Hasidim. Last July, police recommended that the minister be indicted in the Leifer case. He denies wrongdoing.

Crazy Days And Nights

 

How an Anonymous Blogger Has Spent a Decade as the King of the Hollywood Blind Item

 

For a decade now, an anonymous blogger has been revealing truly scandalous and potentially defamatory blind items about some of the biggest celebrities in the world with complete impunity. How does he do it?

 

Enty, the anonymous, self-described entertainment lawyer who runs the site, has been a direct source for gossip that evades the normal channels of celebrity news and feeds directly into the Internet’s never-ending appetite for the juice. He claims to be well-connected and dishes with abandon. But his primacy in the field is largely due to the one feature of his publishing ethos that completely distinguishes him from his rivals: He names names. Loyal readers know that when a major event in Hollywood happens—or sometimes even before—Enty will start revealing any blind items he previously posted about it. It’s one thing to run a blind item: the New York Post has a history of publishing blinds in Page Six; Ted Casablanca wrote them as part of his E! Online column, “The Awful Truth”; and Elaine “Lainey” Lui writes them on her site, LaineyGossip.com. It’s a whole other beast to reveal that blind. And Crazy Days and Nights is all about the reveal.

 

…..

 

“My readers are exceptionally smart,” he says. “They’re brilliant. They’re problem solvers. They play their own kinda crossword puzzles with the blind items. They can track anything down anywhere and they will dig, and dig, and dig until they find the answer.

Today's Blind Items - Couldn't Escape

 

For years, this A-/B+ list dual threat actress has been conflicted. She wants to speak out about her attacker, but knows there will be a huge backlash. That attacker knows the actress has some huge skeletons in her closet that would likely bring down some careers of A listers and executives. The attacker knows so much about the actress and over the years has made sure she knows. Our actress went through a period of several years where she thought about quitting acting, just so the burden of hiding everything would disappear. Although, she slowed down her acting, she never really stopped and is now trying to ramp it up again. Still though, she wonders if the actor is doing anything to anyone else.

 

It happened on one of her first movies. A movie based on a best selling book/series. She was very young. She blames the sexual attack for all of the problems she has endured for decades. Her drinking and drug use. Her way of sleeping with everyone to try and escape the pain of being forced to be with her attacker. He was and is A list. The information I have given you is all the information she has ever given anyone.

Scott Morrison calls Donald Trump to discuss holding the WHO to account for pandering to China over the coronavirus pandemic - and says US and Australia are 'best mates'

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has spoken to President Donald Trump about how the World Health Organisation can 'improve' after both leaders criticised how it dealt the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Mr Morrison called Mr Trump at around midday on Wednesday (AEST) and later tweeted about the conversation.

 

He said they discussed strategies to relax coronavirus restrictions and also the WHO's response to the deadly virus which has infected 2.5million people globally.

 

The WHO has come under fire for being slow to declare a pandemic, telling nations not to shut their borders and praising China's response despite the country's attempt to cover-up the spread of the disease by silencing whistleblowers.

 

President Trump accused the organisation of being 'China-centric' and vowed to cut funding.

 

Mr Morrison has also criticised the WHO - particularly over its refusal to ban wet markets - but has said Australia will not walk away from funding the organisation.

 

In his tweets after the call, Mr Morrison wrote: 'We had a very constructive discussion on our health responses to #COVID19 and the need to get our market-led and business-centred economies up and running again.

 

'We also talked about the WHO and working together to improve the transparency and effectiveness of international responses to pandemics.

 

Mr Morrison signed off by praising Australia's relationship with the United States.

 

'Australia and the US are the best of mates and we'll continue to align our efforts as we work towards the recovery on the other side of this virus,' he wrote.

 

It comes after the Chinese Embassy in Canberra accused Australian politicians of sucking up to the US.

 

A spokesman accused Home Affairs Minster Peter Dutton of blindly following US orders to join a 'propaganda war' against China after he said the country should be 'transparent' about the origins of the virus.

 

Last week US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo demanded China 'come clean' after unsubstantiated reports that coronavirus may have originated in a lab in Wuhan.

 

Mr Dutton on Friday said China should 'answer those questions' before foreign affairs minister Marise Payne called for an inquiry.

 

A Chinese Embassy spokesman said Australian politicians were 'pitiful' and lacked independence.

 

In dealing with the coronavirus, the Australian government has been one step ahead of the WHO since even before it reached Australian shores on 25 January.

 

That week, while the WHO director-general was busy saying China should be 'congratulated' for protecting 'the people of the world', the Australian government was hatching a national plan to stop the virus.

 

On February 1, when there were 14,000 recorded cases in the world, Australia banned flights from China.

 

Two days later, on February 3, the WHO was still telling countries not to initiate travel bans.

 

Director-General Tedros Adhanom stood up in front of the world's media and said there was no need for measures that 'unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade'.

 

In the same press conference he called the spread of the virus 'minimal and slow' and heaped praise on China for locking down Wuhan.

 

'If it weren't for China, the number of cases outside China would have been very much higher,' he said.

Federal Government to spend $94 million stockpiling fuel in the US

 

The Federal Government will spend $94 million on a fuel reserve to bolster the national stockpile.

 

Federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor said the Government would take advantage of historically low fuel prices to build a "strategic fuel reserve", to be held initially in the United States.

 

"We have full storages here in Australia, but in time we are exploring opportunities with the industry to establish local storage," he said.

 

"Now is the time to buy fuel, and we are doing that."

 

Mr Taylor said the reserve was to ensure Australia had enough fuel in case of future "global disruptions".

 

The Energy Minister said there was about a month's worth of fuel on Australian soil currently, but the Government wanted a much larger reserve.

 

According to the Energy Department's latest statistics, as at February 2020, there was 25 days worth of car petrol stored domestically, 56 of LPG, 20 of diesel, 143 of aviation gasoline and 22 days of turbine fuel.

 

"I signed an agreement with the United States to access their reserves, simply because we don't have the storage space here in Australia right now," Mr Taylor said.

 

He said moving the storage reserve to Australia was a "priority" and that work to begin expanding domestic capacity would be done as soon as possible.

 

The Government began talks with the United States to access its reserve last year to increase supplies to meet the 90-day minimum required under international agreements.

 

At the time, before the coronavirus pandemic saw prices plummet, Mr Taylor said building a storage facility in Australia would be too high a cost.

 

"The opportunity to buy and establish a fuel reserve is an extraordinary one now with these historically low fuel prices," he said.

 

"The storage costs are small compared to the fuel cost."

 

Concerns United States is too far away

 

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese argued the announcement did little to minimise concerns that Australia was vulnerable to international fuel supply disruptions.

 

"This has been pointed out to the Government for a long period of time," Mr Albanese said.

 

"The Government has dismissed the issue, and what we need to do is to actually build a capacity here for a refining capacity, or rebuild, because the Government, currently, is in breach of its obligations."

 

Mr Albanese said there would still be significant delays in getting fuel from across the Pacific in times of crisis.

 

"The United States isn't New Zealand. I mean, it's not next door," he said.

 

"If there's the sort of international conflict or issues that provide disruption to sea lanes, that may well occur at some stage in the future, then that is why nation states need to have this fuel capacity.

 

"It's an issue of national security — having something in the United States doesn't provide for our national interest to be protected in the way that it should."

 

Current crisis a 'wake-up call', Maritime Union says

 

Earlier on Wednesday, before the announcement, the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) renewed calls for the Government to develop its own storage capability, instead of rely on the United States' own reserve.

 

In a statement, the MUA said the coronavirus pandemic was a "wake-up call" and demonstrated how quickly global supply chains could break down and how volatile global markets could become.

 

The MUA's assistant national secretary, Ian Bray, said the crisis presented an "unprecedented" opportunity for the Government.

 

"More than 90 per cent of our liquid fuel comes from overseas … yet without fuel, our economy would grind to a halt," he said.

 

"The Morrison Government should take advantage of the unprecedented collapse in oil prices to build our own domestic fuel stockpile.

 

"The Government should also commence the process of developing a strategic fleet that includes Australian-owned oil tankers, ensuring supplies can keep flowing during times of crisis."

 

Some Australian farmers have been taking the same course of action, taking advantage of dropping diesel prices and stockpiling supplies.

Coronavirus: PM Scott Morrison talks with Bill Gates over World Health Organisation's future amid pandemic

 

Scott Morrison has discussed the future of the World Health Organisation with one of its biggest donors.'

 

The prime minister spoke with Bill Gates on Tuesday, just days after the Microsoft founder and philanthropist used a global broadcast organised by Lady Gaga to appeal for support for the embattled global health body.

 

Mr Morrison and Mr Gates are also understood to have discussed vaccines and the Indo-Pacific's health challenges.

 

The Gates Foundation is one of the WHO's biggest voluntary donors, providing $836 million over the past two years.

 

Mr Gates has been publicly critical of a decision by US President Donald Trump to suspend his country's funding for the WHO.

 

The US is the largest donor to the WHO, providing more than $631 million in 2019 - about 15 per cent of its budget.

 

"Halting funding for the World Health Organisation during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds," Mr Gates tweeted recently.

 

"Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organisation can replace them."

 

Mr Trump has argued the WHO failed to adequately "obtain, vet and share information" in a timely and transparent way, leaving a global trail of death and destruction.

 

Mr Morrison recently expressed some sympathy for Mr Trump's criticisms, pointing to the way Australia pre-emptively declared a pandemic before the WHO.

 

Australia has worked closely with the WHO for more than seven decades.

Australian Navy joins US fleet near Chinese drilling ship as tensions soar

 

BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:45 P.M.) Amid mounting tension, an Australian frigate has joined U.S. warships in the South China Sea, as a suspected Chinese vessel drills for oil.

 

Citing regional sources, the Reuters News Agency reported on Wednesday,that an Australian frigate joined the American warships located near the place where the Chinese government exploration ship, Haiyang Daisy 8, is operating.

 

The Australian Ministry of Defense announced that the Australian frigate “HMAS Parramatta” joined the U.S. ships, as part of a “joint training”.

 

Earlier, a spokesman for the American Command in the Indian Ocean, Nicole Schweigel, said that a U.S. amphibious ship and guided missile cruiser had been deployed and operating in the South China Sea.

 

Washington accused Beijing of exploiting the world’s concern to combat the outbreak of the coronavirus to enhance its presence in the South China Sea.

Australia joins U.S. ships in South China Sea amid rising tension

 

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - An Australian frigate has joined three U.S. warships in the South China Sea near an area where a Chinese vessel is suspected to be exploring for oil, near waters also claimed by Vietnam and Malaysia, officials said on Wednesday.

 

The warships arrived this week close to where the Chinese government survey ship Haiyang Dizhi 8 has been operating, which is in turn near where a vessel operated by Malaysia’s Petronas state oil company is conducting exploratory drilling, regional security sources have said.

 

The U.S. navy said on Tuesday the USS America amphibious assault ship and the USS Bunker Hill, a guided missile cruiser, were operating in the South China Sea.

 

They were joined by Australia’s frigate HMAS Parramatta and a third U.S. vessel, the destroyer USS Barry, as part of a joint exercise, the Australian defence department said.

 

“During the passage exercises, the ships honed interoperability between Australian and US navies, including replenishment-at-sea, aviation operations, maritime manoeuvres and communications drills,” it said in a statement to Reuters.

 

The Haiyang Dizhi 8 was 325 km (202 miles) off the Malaysian coast, within its exclusive economic zone, data from ship-tracking website Marine Traffic showed on Wednesday.

 

The ship, accompanied by a Chinese coastguard vessel, has been moving in a hash-shaped pattern consistent with a seismic survey for nearly a week, the data showed.

 

The area is near waters claimed by both Vietnam and Malaysia as well as China.

 

China claims most of the energy-rich South China Sea, within a U-shaped “nine-dash line” on its maps, which is not recognised by its neighbours.

 

Petronas and Malaysia’s foreign ministry have not commented on the situation but the United States has called on China to stop its “bullying behaviour” in the South China Sea.

 

China, however, has denied reports of a standoff, saying the Haiyang Dizhi 8 was conducting normal activities.

 

Last year, Vietnamese vessels spent months shadowing the Haiyang Dizhi 8.

 

It appeared off Vietnam again last week, within Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone. Vietnam said it was closely monitoring the situation.

 

The United States has accused China of pushing its presence in the South China Sea while other claimants are pre-occupied with the coronavirus.

 

At the same time, China has been donating medical aid to Southeast Asian countries to help them tackle the virus, which emerged in central China late last year.

 

A team of Chinese medical experts arrived this week in Malaysia, which has reported more than 5,400 coronavirus infections.

 

On Sunday, Vietnam protested after China said it had established two administrative districts on the Paracel and Spratly islands in the disputed waters. China has called Vietnam’s claims illegal.

How The JEWISH COMMUNISM SCAM Works

 

A Jew - Karl Marx (1818-1883) :

 

1843 - Marries Jenny von Westphalen

1848 - Wrote a Pamphlet  The Communist Manifesto

1867 - Publishes the 3 Volume Das Kapital

 

Karl Marx appeals to the poor working classes, and suggests a "classless, Communist society characterized by free association of producers".

This is achieved by the working classes carrying out "revolutionary action" to topple the Capitalist class, thereby dissolving the Socio-Economic disparity between the classes.

 

>Sounds Good, doesn't it?

Marxism claims that the Poor Working Proletariat Classes should rise up and kill the Rich Ruling Class, then ALL THE WEALTH of the country is shared by all the people. No Rich, No Poor classes. Equality for all.

 

How The JEWISH COMMUNIST Scam Is Actually Played Out

 

1. Jews Change Their Jewish Names to Blend In as "Christians" (Russia 1917)

Ex: Leon Trotsky(Bronstein), Bill Gates, John Kerry, Madeleine Albright.

 

2. Jewish Bankers Fund the Money to Remove Non-Jewish Monarchs - "Communist Revolution"

 

3. Jews Control the New COMMUNIST Government. Directly (Russia) and Indirectly (China)

Mao's "little Red Book" that every citizen is required to read is Karl Marx translated into Chinese.

 

4. Jews Murder As Many Christians As Possible

Russian Christians - 100 Million

Chinese Christians - 60 Million aprox.

 

5. Jews TAKE ALL The MONEY & Resources

Within each country, Jews become the Owners of All the Banks, All the best Real Estate, Natural Resources and Big Businesses.

Many Jews again changing their too-obvious Jewish names to "Blend In" with whatever countries they are subverting. Also intermarrying into Gentile aristocracy for power. They get nose jobs, even the guys.

 

6. Jews Control the Government

ZOG = Zionist Owned Government

Jews use their Vast Wealth to Bribe, Blackmail, Murder their way to Controlling the Governments of the World.

 

Remember, Jews Have the Power to CREATE MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR via their Privately Owned Federal Reserve Bank, Central and Consumer Banks of all countries.

 

Jews Can CREATE MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR = Jews Have Unlimited Money To Buy Anything and Anyone

 

And then Loan Billions of Dollars to Other Jews so that their Tribe can Buy Up Anything of Value

Ex: New York Real Estate, read the Real Deal dot com and see who owns all the Skyscrapers and Tenements in Manhattan.

 

6. Jews Buy Up Ownership and Control of All Corporations In All Industries

In the US, every Fortune 500 Corporation is Owned, and Controlled by Jews.

Can you think of one industry that is not Majority Shareholder Jewish Owned, and CEO controlled by Jews? 

 

7. Jews Dictate The Narrative By Owning All Media

Jews own, control and front: TV Networks, Newspapers, Magazines, Textbook publishing, Hollywood TV and Movies, Porn, Search Engines, Social Media.

 

Same for the Judiciary, the Universities and Colleges.

Ex: Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan (Jewish). During her 18 years as Dean of Harvard Law School, 84% of all the professors that she hired were Jewish. (Jews are 2% of the US Population)

 

8. Jews Are Always "VICTIMS", Not Dictators

Every few years, Jewish Owned Hollywood trots out yet another Movie about The Holocaust.

Most any Holocaust Movie is awarded the Oscar.Ex: Schindler's List, Sophie's Choice, The Reader, Life Is Beautiful, The Pianist, Ida, Inglorious Basterds.

 

Out of 23 Holocaust movies nominated, 20 have won at least one Academy Award.

 

>Why Hasn't Jew Owned Hollywood Made 1 Single Film About 9/11?

 

There are now 69 Holocaust Museums in America

Your schoolchildren are bused to these Museums to indoctrinate them that "Jews Are Always Victims".

 

The Holocaust Museum in Illinois was founded by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a Billionaire Zionist Jew. He owns the Hyatt Hotel chain.

Q posted a hotel lobby photo of the Hyatt Hotel in Shanghai last year.

 

>This is why the majority of people are misinformed sheeple because everything that they learn in school, the news that they read and watch every day, the drugs that they are told to take, the debts that they owe, the foods and pesticides that they eat, Are All Owned and Controlled by JEWS

 

Change the name to disguise:

Judaism = Bolshevism = Communism = Socialism = NWO Globalism

 

This is how Jews control America and other countries.

Britain backs Morrison's call for probe into coronavirus' China origins

 

London: Britain Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has thrown his support behind an international investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

An inquiry would focus on China's early cover-up of the pandemic and the World Health Organisation's own role in alerting the world to the health emergency.

 

Australia and the United States are pushing for an inquiry - Australia wants the WHO's powers beefed up so it can enter affected countries to make objective and first-hand assessments of emerging threats.

 

Australia's Prime Minister spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel this week.

 

Macron has been critical of China's early response, telling the Financial Times last week that "there are clearly things that have happened that we don’t know about". But most leaders of the European Union have demonstrated little appetite for criticising China, which has showered virus-beleaguered states with medical aid as part of its mask-diplomacy push.

 

However, in Britain, increasing numbers of Conservative MPs are pushing the government to take a tougher line on China.

 

Wallace appeared at a hearing of the Commons defence select committee, chaired by Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood, who asked if the minister would support an international inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus.

 

"We should seek to have an inquiry, we should seek to get to the bottom of this," Wallace told MPs.

 

"The world will require transparency, the world will require cooperation. This is more than a once-in-a-generation event, it is important for whatever governments we're in to learn lessons. I'd support that, and we'll judge how people respond to the request."

 

The UK's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said last week that there was no doubt it would not be "business as usual" with China after the pandemic subsides.

 

This tough new stance is a recent change: in January, the UK allowed the Chinese firm Huawei to supply its 5G networks, despite fierce opposition from its Five Eyes intelligence partners Australia and the US.

 

Australia's support for an international inquiry has angered China.

 

Late on Tuesday, the Chinese embassy to Australia accused MPs of falling into line behind US President Donald Trump.

 

"They are keen to parrot what those Americans have asserted and simply follow them in staging political attacks on China," the embassy said.

 

The White House has been fiercely critical of China and the World Health Organisation and has withdrawn funding from the UN agency.

 

In Washington overnight, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Beijing of covering-up the pandemic.

 

"We strongly believe that the Chinese Communist Party did not report the outbreak of the new coronavirus in a timely fashion to the World Health Organisation," he said. "It did not share all of the information it had. Instead, it covered up how dangerous the disease is."

 

WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30 and a pandemic on March 11. On Thursday, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said his timing was correct.

 

"Looking back I think we declared the emergency at the right time and when the world had enough time to respond," he said.

Aussie and US cyber spooks issue joint anti-web shell malware guidance

 

Atlassian products commonly exploited.

 

The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and the United States National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence agencies have jointly published guidance to help organisations counter the threat from so-called web shells, or malware that is planted on servers for computer network exploitation.

 

ASD and NSA said web shell malware is a long-standing pervasive threat that is difficult to detect as it continues to evade many security tools.

 

Web shell malware such as "China Chopper" that was used in the theft of Australian defence contractor plans in 2017 can be deployed on systems by exploiting web application vulnerabilities, or by uploading malicious code to compromised systems.

 

The intelligence agencies warned that it is a common misperception that only internet facing systems are targeted for web shells.

 

"Attackers frequently deploy web shells on non-internet facing web servers, such as internal content management systems or network device management interfaces. Internal web applications are often more susceptible to compromise due to lagging patch management or permissive security requirements," ASD and NSA cautioned.

 

With web shells in place, threat actors can use the malware as persistent backdoors into systems, or as relay nodes to route commands for attacks of other systems, ASD and NSA said.

 

Discovering web shells can be difficult but a defence-in-depth approach that uses multiple detection capablities is most likely to find the malware, the security agencies said.

 

The guidance is available to the public [pdf] and provides sample scripts and log queries for detecting anomalies in systems, as well as network traffic signatures to spot common web shells.

 

ASD and NSA listed eleven applications that if unpatched, contain commonly targeted and exploited vulnerabilties.

 

Microsoft SharePoint and Exchange Server, multiple Citrix products, Adobe ColdFusion, the WordPress Social Warfare plugin as well as Zoho ManageEngine Service Desk Plus and Desktop Central, and the Progress Telerik UI contain vulnerabilties that should be patched on internal and internet-facing systems to avoid being infested with web shells, ASD and NSA advised.

 

Atlassian's Confluence Server, Confluence Data Centre, Crowd and Crowd Data Centre are also in attackers' cross-hairs with three exploitable vulnerabilties available that should be patched.

 

Five-Eyes intelligence sharing alliance members USA, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand have long warned about Advanced Persistent Threat actors and criminal groups using web shells as exploitation vectors, but they continue to be a menace for government and private organisations.

Hacked Aussie Defence firm lost fighter jet, bomb, ship plans

 

Oct 12 2017

 

Reconstructing 30GB breach of highly sensitive documents.

 

A hacked Australian Defence subcontractor lost 30GB of "commercially sensitive" documents on projects including the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program and the P-8 Poseidon “submarine killer” plane, as well as detailed designs of Australian Navy ships.

 

The government only disclosed the hack on Tuesday and has so far offered scant details.

 

But the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) yesterday revealed a far more detailed post-mortem of its investigation into the hack in a presentation to the AISA national conference in Sydney.

 

ASD incident response manager Mitchell Clarke revealed that the attacker managed to gain “full, unfettered access to the environment” of the victim.

 

It is believed the attacker was “an APT [advanced persistent threat] group or nation state group”.

 

The ASD dubbed the attacker “APT Alf” after the Alf Stewart character in Australian soap opera Home & Away. “He’s just an angry dude,” Clarke said.

 

The victim was described as an Australian aerospace engineering firm “four levels of subcontracting down” from primary contractors to local and US Defence agencies, including Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

 

It was unclear exactly who the subcontractor had been working for.

 

The company had been vetted to work on US military projects through a scheme known as International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), though Clarke noted the vetting process is not particularly thorough.

 

Most of the 30GB of data that APT Alf managed to exfiltrate related to high-profile allied Defence projects.

 

The data included sensitive details of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) project being pursued by the US and its allies, including Australia.

Cardinal George Pell: Authorities weigh up release of redacted material

 

Victorian authorities are still weighing up whether to support the release of redacted child sexual abuse royal commission commentary about Cardinal George Pell.

 

Federal Attorney-General Christian Porter has written to the Andrews Government to determine whether it is now possible to release dozens of pages of the final abuse report, which includes commentary on Cardinal Pell.

 

Mr Porter wrote to Victorian authorities last week seeking clarification from the government and investigators about whether the commission redactions could now safely be made public.

 

The letter was sent after a Herald Sun report suggested another complainant had emerged whose story was being examined by Victoria Police.

 

The Australian understands the Andrews government favours a quick release of the redactions, but police are yet to formally state whether this should happen.

 

Premier Dan Andrews spoke to Prime Minister Scott Morrison soon after the High Court quashed Cardinal Pell’s five convictions and freed him from Barwon Prison, where he finished the last of his 405 days in solitary confinement.

 

Mr Andrews called for the royal commission commentary to be released. It is understood Mr Porter’s letter was sent to Victorian Attorney-General Jill Hennessy last week, and she will have to give the go-ahead.

 

The Premier’s strident call for the royal commission commentary to be released underpins where the government’s position is on the matter. The only stumbling block would be if police and prosecutors believed the release of the information could harm any future possible court action.

 

The Australian does not suggest Cardinal Pell will be charged and police have refused to say if they are investigating the Cardinal. It was reported that a complainant had emerged and spoken to police about events in the 1970s.

INTERNATIONAL POLICE COOPERATION LEADS TO THE ARREST OF A DARK WEB CHILD SEX ABUSER IN SPAIN

 

The operation to bring down a child sex abuser, who had made explicit videos of an underage boy, owes its success to international cooperation. Information from Queensland Police – Australia’s Taskforce Argos sent via Europol’s secure communication channel allowed Europol experts to carry out operational analysis, which revealed that a video from 2015 found in Belgium and France may have been filmed in Spain.

 

A CRUCIAL BREAKTHROUGH ON SOCIAL MEDIA

 

The analysis of the images and video – which showed how the suspect abused a boy who was under five years old at the time – led the Spanish National Police (Policía Nacional) to locate the suspect. When looking into the message published with the video, officers noticed that the suspect used words and phrases from Spain and not from a Latin American country.

 

Using operational analysis, open-source enquiries and cross-checking information, Europol experts found that the suspect was registered on several websites and boards dedicated to child sexual abuse and exploitation on the dark web. The investigation revealed that the suspect was also using a social media network where he was in touch with a woman who shared the same surname as the one in the title of the sexual abuse video.

 

COVID-19 PANDEMIC FORCES A CHANGE OF TACTICS

 

Once the abuser was located in Barcelona, cybercrime experts from the Spanish National Police Central High-Tech Crime Unit located in Madrid moved to Barcelona. Due to the lockdown in Spain, they were assisted remotely by other experts in Madrid. The material seized showed how the arrested suspect was using several email addresses and dark web access points to commit this horrific crime. The material seized is pending analysis, which is of special value as it could provide important clues about other child sex abusers on the dark web.

 

Fernando Ruiz, Acting Head of the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) at Europol, adds, ‘This type of international cooperation during the COVID-19 crisis shows how children are being protected as a priority by law enforcement from all over the world. Europol is proud to support this investigation and to bring together the contributions of the Member States and non-EU partners to help identify those sexually exploiting and abusing children. We encourage everyone to be aware of the potential dangers to children during this time. Europol has published preventive messaging on its website and social media channels.’

 

Note to media:

 

Europol encourages you to use the term ‘child (sexual) abuse material’ and not ‘child pornography’ in your reporting.

 

The use of the term ‘child pornography’ helps child sex abusers as it indicates legitimacy and compliance on the part of the victim, and therefore legality on the part of the sex abuser. By using the phrase ‘child pornography’, it conjures up images of children posing in ‘provocative’ positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse. Every photograph or video captures an actual situation where a child has been abused. This is not pornography.

Palmer buys 32,900,000 doses of Hydroxychloroquine for Australians

 

Media release

 

23 APRIL 2020

 

True to his word, Clive Palmers’ Palmer Foundation has bought over 32,900,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine. Millions of doses of the drug have already arrived in Australia. The Palmer Foundation has already paid for the drug in the form of tablets and bulk pharmaceuticals.

 

The Palmer Foundation has donated the drug to the Australian Government to be placed on the National Medical Stockpile so it may be made available free to all Australians.

 

In the United States of America, President Trump has confirmed the country had 29,000,000 doses of the drug on its national medical stockpile to be available to 330 million Americans.

 

On the 2 April 2020, Australia’s Minister for Health, Greg Hunt announced hydroxychloroquine would be made available if doctors wish to use it to treat COVID-19 patients who are in Australian hospitals. Since that time, Australia’s death rate from COVID-19 has been the lowest in the world and the curve has flattened. Mr Hunt also congratulated Mr Palmer for the steps he was then taking to acquire hydroxychloroquine internationally, paying for the effort with his own money.

 

On 2 April 2020, Caroline Edwards, Acting Secretary for the Department of Health, as a delegate of the Minister for Health, established the Therapeutic Goods (Medicines— Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine) (COVID-19 Emergency) Exemption 2020. The exemption allowed the Palmer Foundation to make the acquisitions for the sole purpose of donating all drugs acquired for the free use of the Australian people.

 

“The Australian government has done a great job in protecting and defending the Australian people in this time of national crisis. In particular, the Prime Minister has showed the calm leadership necessary to guide the nation in troubled times,” Mr Palmer said.

 

“The Health Minister Greg Hunt had shown exceptional courage and dedication for filling his role and his performance as health minister was just what any doctor would have ordered.”

 

Mr Palmer said that he believed that hydroxychloroquine was the best hope for those suffering COVID-19. He said that while all Australians had played a critical role in containing the virus, they had to remain vigilant that a second wave did not destroy the economic fabric of the nation and Australian lives.

 

“The tablets we have acquired have a shelf life of three years and the bulk materials longer,’’ Mr Palmer said.

 

“A vaccine may take many years to develop and Australia has to be ready to provide the best treatment for its citizens should the worst occur. The small contribution that I have made will assist Australia in getting back on its feet sooner.

 

“The challenge now facing all Australians is to save our country’s economy and restore employment and prosperity to all.

 

“I am happy that the quick action we took in early March to secure hydroxychloroquine for Australia has been successful. It is important that Australians that have been using the drug to treat malaria, lupus and autoimmune diseases over the last 40 years will not have any difficulty in acquiring the drug.”

 

Mr Palmer said it was critical that the drug remained available in hospitals for those who needed it to treat COVID-19 and was available to the Australian community when required.

 

“If we had not moved in early March when we did, we would have lost our opportunity,’’ he said.

 

“At this time of national crisis in our country, all Australians must do whatever they can to help their fellow Australians.

 

“I want all Australians who have done well in this country to remember their fellow Australians and the sacrifices that have been made by previous generations and dig deep to support all efforts necessary to defeat this threat to our lives and our livelihood,’’ Mr Palmer said.

Hunter man charged with child abuse material offences

 

A New South Wales man has been charged with several child exploitation offences following his arrest by Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers yesterday morning (Wednesday 22 April).

 

The 29-year-old man was taken to Cessnock Police Station for charging yesterday and is due to face Newcastle Local Court today (Thursday 23 April).

 

The investigation began in November 2019 when the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) received a referral from the U.S. National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding an Australian user transmitting child abuse material via a cloud based service.

 

Subsequent police inquiries by the ACCCE and AFP Child Protection Operations identified a New South Wales man as the alleged user of the service.

 

A search warrant was executed at the man’s residence yesterday (22 April) where he was arrested. Several electronic items were seized during the warrant and will be subject to further forensic examination.

 

The man has been charged with;

 

  • One count of possessing child abuse material, contrary to section 474.22A of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth.)

 

  • One count of production of child abuse material, contrary to section 91G of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW)

 

The maximum penalty for these offences is 15 and 14 years’ imprisonment respectively.

 

AFP Commander Investigations Eastern Command, Kirsty Schofield, said the arrest was a cumulative effort that demonstrated the AFP’s commitment to stamping out child exploitation in the Australian community.

 

“No matter the circumstances, our investigators and analysts are always ready to step up and help catch these offenders and stop them from preying on the young and vulnerable members of our community.” Commander Schofield said.

 

The ACCCE is committed to stopping child exploitation and abuse and is at the centre of a collaborative national approach to combatting organised child abuse.

 

The Centre brings together specialist expertise and skills in a central hub, supporting investigations into child sexual abuse and developing prevention strategies focused on creating a safer online environment.

 

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in child abuse and exploitation are urged to call Crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.

USE OF TERM 'CHILD ABUSE' MATERIAL, NOT 'CHILD PORNOGRAPHY'

 

Use of the phrase "child pornography" benefits child sex abusers because it:

  • conjures images of children posing in 'provocative' positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse.

 

Every photograph captures an actual situation where a child has been abused. This is not "pornography".

Tom Hanks sends typewriter to bullied Australian boy named Corona

 

MELBOURNE, April 23 — Tom Hanks has sent a letter and a Corona brand typewriter to an Australian boy who wrote to him about being bullied over his name, Corona, Australian television networks reported on Thursday.

 

Corona De Vries, an eight-year-old from the Gold Coast in Queensland state wrote to the Hollywood star after he and his wife, Rita, had spent more than two weeks in quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19 in the Australian beach resort.

 

The boy had written to Hanks saying: “I heard on the news you and your wife had caught the coronavirus,” Channel 7 News reported. “Are you ok?”

 

He said he loved his name but people at school called him the coronavirus, which made him “sad and angry”.

 

“Your letter made my wife and I feel so wonderful!” Hanks replied in a letter typed on a Corona typewriter which he had taken to the Gold Coast.

 

“You know, you are the only person I’ve ever known to have the name Corona — like the ring around the sun, a crown,” the double Oscar winner wrote to the boy.

 

“I thought this typewriter would suit you,” an image of the letter aired by Channel 7 News showed. “Ask a grown up how it works. And use it to write me back.”

 

Hanks handwrote at the end: “P.S. You got a friend in ME!” — Reuters

Litzman reportedly offers to leave Health Ministry

 

Yaakov Litzman has reportedly offered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to leave the Health Ministry, though his motives are unclear after previously refusing to consider a change.

 

ISRAELI Health Minister Yaakov Litzman has reportedly offered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to leave the Health Ministry and take up the Housing portfolio instead.

 

Channel 12 reported on Thursday that Litzman had told Netanyahu of various unspecified considerations for the move, which he asserted was not tied to recent public criticism of his handling of the coronavirus crisis.

 

The report said Litzman had apparently been instructed by Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter, the head of the Gur Hasidic sect, to change ministries.

 

His office said it wasn’t familiar with the matter.

 

It has been alleged that Litzman, who this week was said to have recovered from COVID-19, has interfered in attempts to extradite alleged child sexual abuser Malka Leifer to Australia, by pressuring psychiatrists to state she was unfit to stand trial. Litzman denies the allegations.

 

In a tweet, alleged victim Dassi Erlich said the announcement was “Good news for Israel. Good news for us!”

 

Litzman, who leads the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party, has been the de facto head of the Health Ministry since 2009, except for a period between 2013 and 2015 when he was out of the government.

 

He has been largely absent from the public eye over the two months of the coronavirus crisis (the past three weeks of which he spent being treated for a COVID-19 infection alongside his wife). Though he appeared in some earlier briefings, the face of the Health Ministry’s response has been its director-general, Moshe Bar Siman-Tov, leading some to speculate on the level of Litzman’s involvement in the ministry’s decision-making.

 

Litzman came under heavy criticism when a television report said he took part in group prayers in violation of his own ministry’s guidelines shortly before he was infected with the coronavirus.

 

The Health Ministry was floated during coalition negotiations as potentially going to the Blue and White party, but Litzman was said to have vetoed the option, insisting on keeping hold of the portfolio as part of any coalition deal between UTJ and Netanyahu.

How Yorkshire detectives identified a girl being sexually abused in videos downloaded by a paedophile

 

Specialist detectives investigating a North Yorkshire paedophile managed to identify a young victim being abused in videos he had downloaded, police have revealed.

 

Mark Anthony Boyce, 56, was sentenced to 20 months in prison, suspended for two years, at York Crown Court today (Thursday)after pleading guilty to downloading a series of indecent images of children.

 

North Yorkshire Police have since revealed that detectives investigating his offending had to watch footage of a man appearing to rape a young girl, identifying features from the scene to pinpoint where in the world it had been filmed.

 

The detectives were initially alerted to Boyce’s offending after receiving information in early 2019 that indecent images had been shared online from an address in Whitby.

 

Following an investigation, Boyce was arrested in October and has been in custody for the past six months.

 

The court heard that 11,145 of the most serious Category A images, 12,177 Category B images and 121,047 Category C images.

 

He also admitted distributing two Category C images, possessing 150 prohibited images of a child and possessing 114 extreme pornographic images.

 

In a sinister turn, detectives investigating Boyce found two videos in his collection that appeared to show a man raping a girl aged between 10 and 12.

 

A specialist victim identification officer was able to trace the girl from the videos by using various features from the scene to help determine the location.

 

Detectives alerted forces in the US and Queensland, Australia, managing to identify the victim and suspect.

 

Jesse Anthony Garcia, aged 29, from Goodyear, Arizona, was charged with sexual exploitation of a minor on March 22, 2020. He appeared before court the following day and remains in custody.

 

The child has since been safeguarded.

 

Boyce was also ordered to complete a course of rehabilitation and has been placed on the sex offenders’ register.

 

Detective Sergeant Lee Allenby, Online Abuse and Exploitation Team:“North Yorkshire Police is committed to preventing child sexual abuse, helping victims and bringing offenders to justice.

 

“It is a crime that can affect a child at anytime and anywhere. Those who obtain and distribute child abuse material - sickening and perverted individuals such as Mark Boyce - directly contribute to the sexual exploitation of children. This is because the children involved are continually re-victimised.

 

“It is very satisfying that we were able to identify the suspect for alleged offences in another country and ensure the vulnerable young victim is now receiving the professional support and care they so desperately needed.”

Goodyear man arrested for child porn after tip from Australian police

 

GOODYEAR, AZ — A Goodyear man has been arrested for sexual exploitation of a minor after a tip from the Australian police.

 

Court records show that on March 17, Special Agents from Homeland Security in Phoenix received a tip from a victim identification analyst from Queensland Police Services in Australia.

 

The analyst reportedly found photos and videos of an 8- to - 10-year-old child and the analyst was able to locate the GPS position of where child pornography videos were recorded.

 

The photos and video were found to be recorded at a home in Goodyear near Sarival Avenue and Yuma Road. The analyst determined that 37 pictures and two videos were recorded from February to April 2016.

 

Police records show that the homeowner, Jesse Anthony Garcia, 29, was working as a contract employee at a school in the Phoenix Union High School District. He was later fired for "inappropriate behavior with a minor." His firing came about 45 days before the first photos were posted. His firing reportedly stemmed from Garcia communicating with a student via social media in violation of school policy.

 

On Sunday, Homeland Security agents served a warrant at Garcia's home. There they reportedly found that a room in the house with the same decor as the room seen in the videos and photos. Court records also show that Garcia's voice also matched a voice heard in the videos.

 

Garcia is being held on a $1,000,000 bond for sexual exploitation of a minor.

U.S. Space Force deploying surveillance telescope in Australia

 

The telescope was designed to track and identify debris and satellites more than 22,000 miles above Earth.

 

WASHINGTON — A U.S.-developed space surveillance telescope has been assembled at a new facility in Western Australia and is expected to start operating in 2022, the U.S. Space Force Space and Missile Systems Center announced April 23.

 

The telescope, designed to track and identify debris and satellites more than 22,000 miles above Earth, was developed a decade ago by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Agency. Between 2011 and 2017 the telescope was tested at the Atom Site on White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. DARPA handed over the telescope to the U.S. Air Force in 2017.

 

The United States and Australia signed an agreement to base the telescope in Australia in an effort to fill a fill a gap in the U.S. Space Surveillance Network coverage of the Southern Hemisphere. The United States shares the SSN network of ground-based sensors with key allies, including Australia.

 

SMC said the telescope last month achieved “first light,” meaning that course alignment of the telescope optics with the wide field of view camera has been completed, allowing the first images of objects in orbit to be seen by the telescope.

 

The Australian government built a new dome for the telescope at the Harold E. Holt Naval Communication Station in Western Australia. The facility has a 2-megawatt central power station. The telescope will undergo tests before entering service in 2022. The Royal Australian Air Force will operate the telescope jointly with the U.S. Space Force’s 21st Space Wing.

Australians turn out for driveway dawn service to mark Anzac Day in time of coronavirus

 

Thousands take part in a Covid-19-friendly but lonelier than usual commemoration of Gallipoli

 

Last year Shaun McGill spent the morning of Anzac Day in a crowd of more than 30,000 at the dawn service in Canberra.

 

“I was just thinking about everything that those people who had gone through before us. So many of the people there were serving members or have a family member who served.”

 

This year, at 5.30am, McGill stood at the end of the driveway, joined by only his wife and two daughters, with a homemade cross and paper poppies.

 

An active air force officer, McGill stood to attention in full uniform, as a live stream of the national dawn service played through a small speaker.

 

Despite thousands doing the same across the country, it was a much lonelier start to the Anzac Day than McGill was used to.

 

“It’s really hard to compare to such a big gathering, but I don’t think too much about that.”

 

McGill said that no matter what was going on around the country, it was important this day wasn’t skipped over.

 

“It’s something that should never be forgotten. We have come a long way since the late 70s and 80s where the Vietnam veterans were treated with absolute disgust. I think we are a lot more educated now about what it means to serve your country – kids understand much better … but still, there are so many people who are still affected.

 

“Everyone knows someone whose family served in Gallipoli or died in Gallipoli.”

 

The idea for the driveway dawn service came from two former Townsville defence force personnel, Warrant Officer Terry James and Brigadier Bill Sowry, who were discussing a Covid-19-friendly way to commemorate the day on social media.

 

The plan quickly gained popularity and RSL branches and politicians across the country encouraged people to take part.

 

In previous years once the trumpets fell quiet, and the crowd at the dawn service dissipated, McGill would ring up a few friends from the defence force to see if they were free for lunch.

 

“We would just have a few beverages and catch up. Last year I ended up at my local establishment and chatting to a group of people for hours.”

 

Pubs are now closed and meeting with friends is off the table, but McGill still plans to fulfil this informal tradition.

 

“It’s tough from a physical perspective, but it’s important to reach out, to pick up the phone and connect with people, to make sure they are alright.”

GALLUP: "AMERICANS ARE NOT AS PRO-ISRAEL AS WE'VE BEEN SAYING"

 

Grans Smith reported in December 2018 that Gallup, the US government’s go-to for polling, is known to have falsified survey results for years, including in its measurement of support for Israel.

 

>Known to have FALSIFIED survey results for years…. its measurement of support for Israel

Julian Assange in bid to postpone court hearing

 

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will make a bid to postpone his US extradition hearing due to ongoing lack of access to his lawyers in London's locked-down Belmarsh prison.

 

The Australian met his lawyers in person for the first time in a month in the holding cells of Woolwich Crown Court earlier this week.

 

Assange directed them to ask District Court Judge Vanessa Baraitser to postpone his next hearing, which is set for May 18.

 

His lawyers will cite the ongoing lack of access to their client, the inability of key witnesses to attend and the lack of proper media scrutiny if the hearing continues amid lockdown.

 

WikiLeaks ambassador Joseph Farrell says it's clear the hearing can't go on in the current environment.

 

"Julian's lawyers cannot prepare adequately, witnesses will not be able to travel, and journalists and the public will not have free, adequate and safe access to the proceedings," he said in a statement on Friday.

 

"Justice will neither be done, nor seen to be done."

 

WikiLeaks also said Assange won't attend Monday's hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court in person or via videolink due to medical advice that "moving to, and using, the video link room in the prison is too great a risk".

 

Judge Baraitser has previously knocked back Assange's bid to sit with his lawyers in the courtroom, rather than the dock.

 

She also denied his bail application two weeks ago, when his lawyers argued Assange was in danger of contracting the coronavirus in prison.

 

Assange faces 17 charges of violating the US Espionage Act and one of conspiring to commit computer intrusion.

 

He's accused of publishing thousands of secret US diplomatic and military files, some which revealed alleged war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

The charges carry a total of 175 years' imprisonment.

Starting an interesting dig on the cormack foundation, they seem to run the liberals and are their biggest contributors. Reason being liberals seem hell bent on the lockdown laws and the laws resemble ones that are used in soviet states to stop decent, particularly no more than 2 people in social circles. Also the shutdown on social businesses pubs, clubs etc.

He blocked the anti communist bills, ones designed by "The associates" in australia which was an anti communist movement in australia.

Snake eyes for team Jew, team Brit and team America.

 

Tom Hanks, Ellen, bill gates and China not so much.

 

For following the three stars on twitter.

 

It’s a safe space for retards that would prefer to lie on twitter, to feel as if they are saving the world, even if it meant being in quarantine and destroying the real (physical) world.

 

The demented belief that God would take sides in an internal American political civil war too.

 

And pick a billionaire to save the world.

 

And then use a monopoly on twitter and social media to tell the world about the ‘front row seats’ and that ‘you are safe’ too.

 

We’ve got front row seats to (((their))) front row seats of your promised ‘front row seats’. The great awakening to realising that you have been tricked by (((them)))

 

Both trump and Clinton betrayed America for Israel.

 

That’s why mystics and not fat orange cunts with nuclear weapons always win multidimensional chess.

 

Take it personally anon.

 

Q is for quarantine retard

 

For pretending to save the world on twitter.

 

With biblical quotes.

 

That’s why your side lost.

 

Judging the wrong person from a distance and not their knowledge presented.

 

Pride, isn’t it?

 

Julian Assange made the game multidimensional and Trump betrayed him.

 

The thick fucks have been trying to conceal the inescapable and incontrovertible fact that Britain is both the winner and loser in the global holy war.

 

And yes, yours truly owes Julian a massive thank you.

 

And no, i’m not perfect either, but some of my knowledge is. That’s why it is date and time stamped.

 

Big love to Julian and WikiLeaks.

 

And yes, it is all over 8kun too.

Twitter is mockingbird MAGA (666)

 

None of these morons were interested in the truth, see?

 

Here come the mandatory vaccines too.

 

Tbh I never thought Americans were this stupid.

 

Brits definitely.

 

Doesn’t take a genius to figure out who is telling the truth here, does it?

 

Yet so many of you are still on twitter, pushing the deceitful claim that Donald Trump is anointed by God Almighty himself.

 

He isn’t. And never will be.

 

And by refusing to acknowledge the real source of the storm, your dopey disrespectful president has not only betrayed the American people, but God Almighty too.

 

The royals here will have to give up the two old cunts at the top too.

 

Or it will be the whole family.

 

Zero negotiations or deals.

 

And Bibi is absolutely ruined too.

 

All of you chose to run the gauntlet.

 

And all of you have allowed this situation (killer virus and impending martial law) because all of you have put being American above being human.

 

Be truthful Americans.

 

Those 500 or so members of Congress are some of the biggest cunts in the world, and have betrayed all of you.

 

And by the mass media (((twitter))) framing a global holy war as an essentially American affair, highly polarised too, you have all been screwed by an essentially Jewish media.

 

The special talent of yours truly is to reduce the whole global power structure to a beam of light.

 

And that’s what the big pdf is..

 

And no, I’m not a prophet like Jesus (777), I’m God Almighty manifest in a human being. (999)

 

That’s why I’m completely separated from my knowledge.

 

The big 2,238 page pdf

 

Just two rituals hold the whole global power structure in place.

 

Divine in design, obviously.

 

The original mandate for 11.11.18

(The shot heard around the world)

 

Obviously scrubbed from (((twitter))) now.

 

Was for yours truly to align the Commonwealth with Russia, USA and Israel. (90% of the world’s nuclear weapons) (the ‘winners’)

 

Dawkins and Hillary as the offering.

 

A return to nation states too.

 

With the kings and Queens being the losers.

 

And Israel being both the winner (Bibi) and the loser (mass media) .

 

With the prize being world peace and the knowledge of other worlds.

 

The eternal life mentioned in the bible. Yes.

 

But instead, as a direct consequence of playing at online light workers, the vile and deceitful cunts here, with the undying assistance of two violent and deceitful geriatrics (parents) thought it was without consequences to lock yours truly up for 3 weeks, then 7 weeks, force feed him medication and leave an extremely fit and tough (violently abused as a child) 48 year old former professional Bmx freestyler with a broken back, a heavily lacerated stomach and prone to shakes and fainting fits.

 

If you are so blind to not see the truth when it is staring you in the face Americans, then you deserve to be locked up and forcibly vaccinated by your politicians..

 

Because that is exactly what is going to happen if you continue the charade on twitter.

 

You will all get further and further away from the truth.

 

Knowingly too.

 

That’s what makes it worse.

 

You see, I may have been born in England, but I had to relinquish my nationality when I was given a guided tour around 13 pizza ovens on the 1st January 2017.

 

The real pizzagate. Yes.

 

These politicians represent none of you, America, and never have done. Ever.

 

But because it was deemed more important to fake an American holy war rather than acknowledge the real winner in the global holy war, Team Israel, Team USA and team Britain have already dug a hole for themselves, that they will never get out of.

 

Sure many of you feel cheated.

 

You’re not the only one.

 

And yes, I have been to America many times, have many cousins there, been to Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida and California.

 

Always had an amazing time. Been for bmx competitions too. Been in the Appalachian mountains and south central LA too. Eaten cold beans out of a boat on the swamp. You get the picture.

 

And no, i’m not perfect either, but some of my knowledge is.

‘May justice prevail’: Litzman departs Health Ministry

 

MK Yaakov Litzman, head of ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, tells Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of his decision to leave the Health Ministry.

 

CONTROVERSIAL Israeli MK Yaakov Litzman, who is accused of aiding alleged child sexual abuser Malka Leifer, has informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he will step down as health minister.

 

Litzman is set to head an expanded Housing portfolio instead, according to multiple media reports on Saturday night (Israel time).

 

The announcement has been welcomed by child sexual abuse victims’ advocate Manny Waks, who said this was a “positive development” in the Leifer case.

 

Litzman has faced criticism for allegedly using his position as Health Minister to interfere in attempts to extradite Leifer to Australia, by pressuring psychiatrists to state she was unfit to stand trial. Litzman denies the allegations.

 

Israeli police have recommended he face charges over the alleged interference.

 

“Based on the police recommendation to indict Litzman on a range of serious charges … it seems a significant barrier for Leifer’s extradition has now been removed,” Waks said.

 

“May justice finally prevail!”

 

According to a report on Channel 12, Litzman asserted that his decision was not tied to recent public criticism of his handling of the coronavirus crisis.

 

Litzman came under heavy criticism when a television report said he took part in group prayers in violation of his own ministry’s guidelines shortly before he was infected with the coronavirus.

 

Litzman had reportedly been instructed by Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter, the head of the Gur Hasidic sect, to change ministries.

 

According to Ynet, ultra-Orthodox leaders believe Litzman could be helpful to the community’s needs from the Housing Ministry, while avoiding being scapegoated for any fallout from the pandemic.

 

Blue and White officials told the Ynet news site they would demand the Health Ministry be given to a health expert rather than a politician in light of the coronavirus crisis.

 

They added that they were willing to give up another ministry in exchange for control of the portfolio, noting that Likud had been willing to give them the health portfolio during coalition negotiations if Litzman agreed, but Litzman had refused.

 

Yisrael Beytenu party head Avigdor Liberman joined the call for the ministry to be led by a professional rather than a politician.

 

Litzman, who leads the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, has been the de facto head of the Health Ministry since 2009, except for a period between 2013 and 2015 when he was out of the government.

 

He has been largely absent from the public eye over the two months of the coronavirus crisis (some three weeks of which he spent being treated for a COVID-19 infection alongside his wife).

 

Though he appeared in some earlier briefings, the face of the Health Ministry’s response has been its director-general, Moshe Bar Siman-Tov, leading some to speculate on the level of Litzman’s involvement in the ministry’s decision-making.

The Justice Principle (Updated) - Part 3

 

Monday 23 March 2020

 

Introduced by Ted Baillieu, former Premier of Victoria

 

Dassi Erlich and her two sisters were brought up in Melbourne’s insular Jewish Adass community where they say they were sexually assaulted by their former headmistress Malka Leifer.

 

When the allegations surfaced, the mother of eight went to Israel where she has fought extradition for more than five years.

 

We join Dassi, Nicole and Elly as they return to Israel to investigate why the case has stalled after more than 60 hearings and whether a senior Israeli cabinet minister pressured psychiatrists to declare Malka Leifer unfit for extradition.

 

The sisters are also trying to harness the influence of the global Jewish community to crack what they say is a pervasive culture of cover-up.

Statement Israeli Health Minister MK Yaakov Litzman

 

Posted Mon 23 Mar 2020, 7:50pm

 

Response from the office of MK Yaakov Litzman in response to Australian Story's The Justice Principle, airing March 23, 2020.

 

As we have all along announced, that Minister Litzman has been working throughout his years for the benefit of Israeli citizens, with complete transparency and by the law.

 

What is well known and widely known is that the Litzman Chamber practices an open-door policy of assisting and helping the public.

 

This is without discrimination between the populations and sectors and without clarifying the status of those who call for assistance, except by law and compassion.

 

The police statement also clearly shows that the police also believe that no offense was committed in most of the suspicions that Minister Litzman had previously investigated.

 

Regarding the other allegations, we are unquestionably confident that, upon close examination, it will be discovered that no defect has occurred in the Minister's actions.

 

Minister Litzman's public integrity and tremendous work, especially in the area of public inquiries from all populations, is well known and known to all, with strict adherence to the law, and this will soon be proven.

 

It should be emphasised that there was no interference on the part of Litzman in the professionals' decisions.

 

Minister Litzman presented his clear position, evidence and evidence to the authorities, and we are sure that justice in our case will be revealed soon.

Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson donate blood for coronavirus vaccine

 

Tom Hanks revealed that he and his wife, Rita Wilson, have volunteered to donate their blood for coronavirus research after recovering from the disease.

 

“A lot of the question is, is what now? What do we do now? Is there something we can do? And, in fact, we just found out that we do carry the antibodies,” Hanks said on NPR’s podcast “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” last week.

 

“We have not only been approached, we have said, ‘Do you want our blood? Can we give plasma?' And, in fact, we will be giving it now to the places that hope to work on what I would like to call the ‘Hank-ccine,’” the actor joked.

 

He said he and Wilson are feeling “just fine” and “dandy” after it was reported last month that they had tested positive for the coronavirus while in Australia for a film project. They have since recovered and returned home to Los Angeles.

 

Hanks said that Wilson experienced nausea from the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine. The drug has previously been touted by President Trump as a possible treatment for the coronavirus, although medical professionals have indicated there is little known evidence that it works effectively for COVID-19 patients.

 

Hanks said that his wife “went through a tougher time than I did," referring to the symptoms she experienced from the virus.

 

"She had a much higher fever and she had some other symptoms. She lost her sense of taste and smell. She got absolutely no joy from food for a better part of three weeks … She was so nauseous she had to crawl on the floor from the bed to the facilities,” he said during an interview with the National Defense Radio Show earlier this month.

 

The couple has encouraged people to continue practicing social distancing and abide by recommendations from health officials.

 

“Many, many thanks to everyone in Australia who looked after us. Their care and guidance made possible our return to the USA. And many thanks to all of you who reached out with well wishes. Rita and I so appreciate it,” Hanks said in a statement last month.

We Call To Check In On Tom Hanks (And Ask Him To Play Not My Job)

 

Tom Hanks has had an amazing career — blockbuster movies, best-selling books, two Oscars, and of course, his triumph: hosting this show, once. He just got over a very bad cold, so we decided to call and check in on him.

 

…..

 

SAGAL: I have to ask on behalf of a - I think a concerned globe. How are you feeling, Tom Hanks?

 

HANKS: We are just fine, dandy. We had all of the flu-like symptoms. My wife, Rita, was a little worse off than me. She had a very high temperature. And we were isolated so that we would not give it to anyone else.

 

SAGAL: Right. Now that you've had it, aren't you supposedly, like, immune? You're superheroes. You can walk amongst us and be immune. Or is that just nonsense?

 

HANKS: Well, a lot of the question is what now, you know? What do we do now? Is there something we can do? And, in fact, we just found out that we do carry the antibodies.

 

PETER GROSZ: Wait. So can we harvest your body? Can we harvest your blood?

 

HANKS: Yes.

 

ADAM FELBER: Have you been approached?

 

HANKS: We have not only been approached; we have said, do you want our blood? Can we give plasma? And, in fact, we will be giving it now to the places that hope to work on what I would like to call the Hank-ccine. (ph)

 

(LAUGHTER)

 

GROSZ: Oh, please.

 

SAGAL: There could be no better ending to this international catastrophe than if the cure turns out to be the blood of Tom Hanks.

 

FELBER: That would be the best.

Hand over everything you have on Prince Andrew: Victim's lawyers demand Jeffrey Epstein's estate hands over tranche of evidence including emails, photos and surveillance footage

 

Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein's victims are seeking a huge tranche of evidence from the paedophile's executors that they believe may incriminate Prince Andrew, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

 

In court papers lodged last week, they have demanded that Epstein's estate hand over any photographs of the Duke, who was friends with the shamed multi-millionaire financier for more than a decade.

 

The 21-page 'request for production' document filed at the federal court in New York asks for 'all written or electronic correspondences' between Epstein and Andrew, details of the Duke's visits to the paedophile's homes and any evidence that he engaged in sexual activity or massages while at them.

 

It also asks: 'Did the surveillance in place at Jeffrey Epstein's home [in New York] have recording capabilities? If so, please state whether the recordings could be viewed live, where the live feed could be viewed from, where the recordings were stored historically, where the recordings are currently stored, which person or entity has possession or control of the recordings.'

 

Epstein is known to have installed cameras in his homes with speculation that he stored any compromising footage. While it is not known if any such evidence exists, the document illustrates the zeal with which Epstein's victims are pursuing the Queen's second son, who has strongly rejected any allegations of wrongdoing.

 

The document was filed by Brad Edwards, the lawyer for Virginia Roberts who claims that she was coerced by Epstein into having sex with the Duke on three occasions, the first in London when she was 17. Prince Andrew denies her claims.

 

Mr Edwards has pursued Epstein for 12 years, extracting thousands of pages of damning evidence against him. The latest move suggests he is pursuing the same strategy against Prince Andrew.

 

The submission was made in the case of an anonymous woman, 'Priscilla Doe', who is pursuing the millionaire's executors. She claims she was 20 when Epstein offered to help with her dancing career, but instead coerced her into performing sex acts for his friends.

 

As well as the Duke, the request extends to several of Epstein's other associates including US President Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Les Wexner, the former owner of the Victoria's Secret lingerie brand. None of them has ever been charged with any offence and each denies any wrongdoing.

 

The document lists the dates when Andrew was allegedly at Epstein's Manhattan mansion, private island in the Caribbean and ranch in New Mexico. It asks 'whether or not [Andrew] received a massage at any property owned or controlled by Jeffrey Epstein' and 'whether or not [Andrew] engaged in any sexual act while at any of Jeffrey Epstein's properties'.

 

It also requests any photographs of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite who is accused of being Epstein's 'madam', and any of her employment and payment records. Ms Maxwell, the daughter of late newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell, denies any wrongdoing.

Epstein hanged himself in his prison cell last August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Lawyers for the victims are currently negotiating a compensation scheme with his estate, valued at more than £500 million.

 

Lisa Bloom, a lawyer representing five of Epstein's victims, said she wants the option to sue the Duke as part of any deal and is 'certainly not willing to release Prince Andrew' from any liability.

 

David Boies, who represents five other women, including Miss Roberts, previously said he will not let 'certain individuals' escape liability, naming Andrew in court papers as one example.

 

The Duke was forced to withdraw from public life after a disastrous Newsnight interview about his friendship with Epstein.

 

In it, he said he would help the authorities with their inquiries into the paedophile but has since been accused of providing 'zero' co-operation, which he disputes.

 

Last night, a spokesman for the Duke declined to comment.

Anzac Day inspires the fight against virus

 

Anzac Day has been commemorated in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with calls to take inspiration in today's battle against the coronavirus from those who have served in the past.

 

While official events were cancelled, dozens of Australian ambassadors streamed wreath-laying ceremonies and addresses, and governments across all three regions sent messages of solidarity.

 

Anzac Day tributes occurred in the UK, France, Turkey, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Russia, Israel, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Pakistan, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Nigeria and South Africa.

 

In a special commemoration streamed in London, Australian High Commissioner George Brandis said the legacy of those who served has perhaps never been more important than in the current battle against coronavirus.

 

"It is the very attributes of courage in the face of adversity, of endurance and resolve, which the Anzacs showed, which we must now embrace in response to our own very different time of trial," Mr Brandis said.

 

"So today let us not only remember them and honour them, let us be inspired by them as well. Lest we forget."

 

Prince Edward - the Duke of Kent and the Queen's first cousin - paid tribute to service men and women from Australia and New Zealand on behalf of the British royal family.

 

He saw the qualities of those who have served shining through those fighting against COVID-19.

 

"Those who continue to serve beyond the Australian and New Zealand armed forces in this global fight reflect the best traditions of those who've served before, showing courage, determination and verve," Prince Edward said in a statement on Twitter.

 

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab tweeted in remembrance of the "brave and selfless sacrifice of Australians and New Zealanders, including those that served alongside our own British soldiers".

 

Local officials and police in the Somme Valley, where the Australian War Memorial in France is located, also paid tribute by laying wreaths and flying a drone over the cenotaph.

 

"One hundred and two years ago, Villers-Bretonneux was the scene of a tragic battle in which many Australians sacrificed their lives there. In accordance with the rules of social distancing, a moment of meditation took place this morning," the Gendarmerie de la Somme posted on Twitter.

 

In Paris a lone French Republican Guard and in London a solitary British Coldstream Guard both played the Last Post and Reveille on bugles over their empty cities.

 

The French government also invited Australian Defence Attache to France Colonel Joel Dooley and fellow ADF members laid wreaths at the tomb of the unknown soldier beneath the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

 

Wreaths were laid by Australian diplomats in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Malta, Israel, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Kenya and Mauritius.

 

Ambassador to Pakistan Dr Geoffrey Shaw paid tribute to the Australian and Pakistani troops who fought alongside each other at Gallipoli by reciting a lesser-known stanza from Paul Binyon's poem For The Fallen, from which The Ode Of Remembrance is a stanza.

 

"As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain," Dr Shaw said.

 

"As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,

 

"To the end, to the end, they remain."

https://twitter.com/i/status/1253763919220523008

 

 

Statement - Prince Edward, Duke of Kent - Anzac Day 2020

 

On Anzac Day, we reflect on the extraordinary courage of the service men and women of Australia and New Zealand, who made the ultimate sacrifice in past conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

 

In London, the traditional Dawn Service at Hyde Park Corner will not be taking place.

 

While we cannot be together to make the occasion as planned, I know that Australians and New Zealanders around the world will be finding ways to ensure that Anzac Day is marked. I would like to join you all, in your collective spirit of remembrance.

 

I shall also be pausing for a further moment of reflection for all those who are engaged in the fight against COVID19.

 

Those who continue to serve beyond the Australian and New Zealand armed forces in this global fight reflect the best traditions of those who've served before, showing courage, determination and verve.

 

I offer them my profound thanks.

 

- His Royal Highness, The Duke of Kent

The purpose of Hollywood and the porn industry is to weaken couples. Doing so more shift in real estates are achieved and the rise of the housing price make do with rising the mortgages paid to banks. This is why movies are created at millions of dollars in cost without any guaranty in profits on their own. Why would bank invest in such crazy way otherwise?

 

Two individuals in a friendship have a more or less strong bond based on their values and instincts. On this basis they can make mutual goals and tackle obstacles in pair. For because between an objective and now the only thing there is is an obstacle.

 

Couples tend to all have the need for a roof and residing in the same house is a mean towards goals. For if both share one bed, then they don't pay both for their own. The savings they make this way, they think, can then finance the achievement of their other goals. Then also in paying the house, eventually, they think, more income will be available then to reach even more goals.

 

But for the banks, this is not great. Because at that point the mortgages stop coming in. So the banking, the real estate and idolatry have evolved in this way to guaranty the increase in divorces, materialism, expectations, jealousy, real estate climb… It is why we now have free porn on demand. All ways to sabotage old goals so that rich folks can achieve them doing fuck all…

Then they show up with brief case full of documents explaining how to rebuilt in an improved globalist fashion. Then the mortgages are jolt back to life.

 

Now don't go thinking that I'm the genius coming out with those great lucrative ideas on my own… Don't call me a conspiracy theorist. I am not that intelligent… Come on…

According to "On the Social Contract", family budgeting in the image of a good righteous family father should lead the way of ruling the all economy. So according to M. Rousseau, sustainability would be the goal, it would also be the goal of all the families part taking in such society. Yet for the banks it is no good. Globalism is the way to go to ensure unsustainable growing credit and future generation burden.

Ridsdale admits more abuse but lawyer asks for no extra jail time

 

Gerald Ridsdale – arguably Australia's most prolific paedophile priest – has admitted abusing more children who were in his care, but his lawyer has argued his jail term should not be increased.

 

Ten counts of indecent assault and four of buggery against four boys in the 1970s took to 69 the number of Ridsdale's known victims, the County Court heard on Monday, though it is not known exactly how many lives he damaged over 27 years of offending while a parish priest across western Victoria.

 

Ridsdale, 85, has been in prison since 1994 and a handful of prosecutions since have increased his overall jail term to 34 years. The earliest he will be eligible for parole is April 2022.

 

Defence counsel Tim Marsh called on Judge Gerard Mullaly not to increase the non-parole term for a man who has spent 26 years behind bars and whose plea of guilty validated victims who had contacted police.

 

Mr Marsh acknowledged his submission could be viewed as wanting "no sentence" but said Ridsdale's continued imprisonment gave victims closure, and acknowledged the insight shown by an old man in declining health who faced the likelihood of dying in jail.

 

Incorporating this punishment into his overall sentence was appropriate, Mr Marsh said, as it was hard to imagine Ridsdale would have been jailed for 34 years had all his crimes been dealt with in the 1990s.

 

"There is no sentence you can impose to address the impact on the victims," Mr Marsh told the judge.

 

Prosecutor Andrew Moore called for Ridsdale's non-parole term to be lengthened. It was inappropriate not to, he said, given the violent, demeaning crimes and physical pain they caused the boys.

 

Victims told the court of the lasting emotional trauma they suffered.

 

Documents show Ridsdale abused four boys in Warrnambool and other towns, including one child who was 12 when plied with beer and attacked on successive nights on a weekend trip away, and another who was sexually assaulted during confession at the family home. The four were aged between seven and 16.

 

Mr Marsh acknowledged the trust Ridsdale breached in an era when priests were venerated in small communities. Ridsdale told one boy, "Don't you tell anyone anything, they won't believe you over a priest."

 

One victim said the abuse affected every part of his life, and he now struggled with injuries suffered in falls caused by alcoholism.

 

In a statement he compiled early one morning at a caravan park, the man wrote: "I am single, alone, broke, depressed, embarrassed, forgetful, unemployed, wondering how I can afford and how I will get through tomorrow. Things would have been different had this individual not been part of my life."

 

The parents of two brothers who were both abused by Ridsdale spoke of the guilt they endured at learning years later of what their priest did.

 

"We trusted our innocent, beautiful children with this bastard without question but we should have been more vigilant on their behalf," they said.

 

"Our boys deserved better than this in their lives", only to be deceived "by a filthy, conniving make-believe priest and paedophile".

 

Another victim was furious the Catholic Church knew of the crimes and moved Ridsdale around the state to avoid questions, but was thankful to feel "heard" years later and hoped others might "find the courage to report".

 

Ridsdale had in recent years conceded he should never have been allowed to join the priesthood and Mr Marsh said the former cleric knew at the time he would be moved "if things got too hot".

 

Asked by Judge Mullaly why Ridsdale never volunteered his crimes, Mr Marsh said the "sheer volume" of names and locations so many years ago made it difficult.

 

The court heard that Ridsdale, who appeared via video link on Monday, is in declining health, recently had bowel surgery and has heart problems. He needs a walking frame to move.

 

He will be sentenced on May 14.

Analysis shows rise in number of child sex abuse images online

 

Youngsters aged 11-13 accounted for nearly half of all child abuse images flagged by the UK organisation responsible for identifying and removing such content from the internet last year, an annual report has shown.

 

Figures published by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also showed hundreds of babies were subjected to the worst abuse, while girls featured far more often than boys.

 

Almost a third (29%) of web pages taken down by the IWF contained self-generated imagery – content created using webcams and shared online, often after children have been groomed.

 

The IWF flagged 130,915 images to be removed from the internet last year, up from 103,529 in 2018, and significantly higher than the 76,939 in 2017.

 

The vast majority of those images were hosted in the Netherlands where digital freedoms are much greater than in the UK.

 

Susie Hargreaves, IWF chief executive, told the PA news agency: “The key issue for us in this year’s annual report is not just that numbers have gone up across the board but that nine out of 10 URLs are in Europe, the majority of it in the Netherlands.

 

“If we could just address that by all working together we would have an immediate impact on the amount of child sex abuse available in the world.”

 

Of last year’s images, 63,533 (48%) were found to contain children in the 11-13 age group, while 45,744 were in the 7-10 age category.

 

Some 1,609 images last year featured babies and toddlers aged 0-2, with the vast majority of those (71%) being deemed category A – the most serious definition.

 

Similarly, there were more category A images among the 3-6 age group (6,218 images, or 41% of the total for that age range) than any other.

 

Overall, around one in five of the total images (27,005) across all age ranges was deemed to be in category A, depicting rape or sexual torture, up from 23,879 the previous year.

 

The data also showed that 92% of all images featured girls, with a further 3% containing boys and girls.

 

Of the self-generated content, three in every four (76%) showed a girl aged 11 to 13 – something the IWF said was at risk of increasing during lockdowns where children are likely to be spending more time in their bedrooms on computers.

 

Ms Hargreaves said: “It’s a massive issue and one we have been raising awareness of, particularly during coronavirus.

 

“Those children are so young, they’re so vulnerable to being coerced and tricked into sharing sexual images and engaging in sexual activities on webcams, and they don’t have the emotional wherewithal to know they are being exploited.

 

“By the time that is videoed and recorded it is on a child sexual abuse website which is where we see it.

 

“It’s a sad fact that the younger the child, the worse the level of abuse.”

 

The figures also showed that nine out of 10 images analysed in 2019 were hosted in Europe (89%) with 71% of the images around the world hosted in the Netherlands, followed by Slovakia (6%) and the US (5%).

 

Fewer than 1% of images were hosted in the UK.

 

Ms Hargreaves said: “It is not necessarily that the Netherlands is a bad country or anything.

 

“The big issue is that they don’t take it down, it’s tied into digital freedoms and digital rights, and the fact you have to get a court order to take it down – that’s tens of thousands of trips to court.

 

“We also have an absolutely zero-tolerance attitude to it in the UK.”

 

“They (the Netherlands) recognise they have a major issue and will do what they can to revise the legislation.

 

“I am confident something will happen but it needs to happen quickly.

 

“If every country stood up to it like we did in the UK, it would have nowhere for it to go.”

Senator Bill Heffernan uses parliamentary privilege to accuse a former PM of being alleged paedophile

 

21 Oct 2015

 

Liberal senator Bill Heffernan has used parliamentary privilege to accuse an unnamed former prime minister of being an alleged paedophile, while also pointing the finger at the judiciary.

 

Senator Heffernan has been campaigning for the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse to expand its investigation to include the court system.

 

He told Senate estimates on Tuesday that he had given the commission "very disturbing" police documents that named at least 28 alleged paedophiles, some of whom are prominent Australians.

 

But he said the commission had told him it could not investigate the cases because they were outside its terms of reference.

 

"We have in Australia, sadly, a compromise at the highest of levels. There is a former prime minister on this list and it is a police document, " he told senators.

 

"It's not so much the secret that's the problem, it's when a group of people, such as the 28 people on this page, keep each other's secrets that the institution is compromised."

 

Senator Heffernan did not expand on the allegations or provide any further details, instead focusing on what he believed were the failings of the "the institution of the law".

 

"The treatment in the federal jurisdiction of children by some people in the Family Law Court is disgusting and a disgrace," he said.

 

Attorney-General George Brandis suggested the royal commission could look into the "grave matters" raised by the senator but said it was ultimately up to the commissioner to decide.

 

"The royal commission has a process for dealing with complaints and other information brought to its attention and placed into its hands by citizens," he said.

 

"It is for the royal commission to judge whether, by reference to its terms of reference, that information is something that it should or indeed is capable of inquiring further into."

Australia and New Zealand Remembered ANZAC Day Saturday April 25

 

Australia and New Zealand mark Anzac Day in driveways

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-52406944

 

Thousands of people across Australia and New Zealand have stood outside their homes at dawn to mark Anzac Day, after being urged to pay tribute even amid the coronavirus lockdown.

 

Crowds usually gather for services, but these were cancelled last month amid wider restrictions on gatherings.

 

Instead people were urged to hold a candle in their driveways and live stream services.

 

The day of remembrance is a hugely important event for both nations.

 

It marks the anniversary of the first campaign that led to major casualties for the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac) during World War One.

 

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had acknowledged the disappointment in the ceremonies being cancelled for the first time in history.

 

"While we cannot gather in person, we join in spirit as we remember the service and sacrifice of New Zealanders in times of war and crisis," she said in a statement, and later joined New Zealanders in standing at the end of her driveway.

 

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison attended a closed dawn ceremony at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, which began at 06:00 and was broadcast nationally.

 

On Friday he had told Australians: "I look forward to the entire nation, on their driveways, lighting up the dawn, remembering our heroes and drawing inspiration from them for the task and challenge we currently face."

 

Some of the alternative, home-bound tributes reported on Saturday included musicians playing the Last Post on brass instruments in suburbs, while others shared pictures of poppy wreaths online and baked Anzac cookies at home.

 

Australia's veterans group, the Returned Services League (RSL) also encouraged "diggers" - service men and women - to call each other in lieu of the normal marches and parades.

 

The two nation's joint Anzac Day services at Gallipoli in Turkey are traditionally a pilgrimage for many citizens, but these were also cancelled after travel bans were brought in.

 

What does Anzac Day represent?

 

On 25 April 1915, soldiers from both countries landed at Gallipoli Cove in Turkey, part of an Allied effort to capture the peninsula from the Ottoman Empire.

 

Collectively termed Anzacs by a military clerk keen to fit the name on a rubber stamp, the acronym stuck.

 

After an eight-month campaign, the Allies retreated in defeat after heavy losses on both sides. More than 87,000 Turks died, along with an estimated 44,000 men from the British Empire and France, including about 8,500 Australians and nearly 3,000 New Zealanders - one in four of the Kiwis sent to Gallipoli.

 

It was the Anzacs' first major engagement on the world stage, fought by the grandfathers and great-grandfathers of today's Australians and New Zealanders.

 

The first Anzac commemorations were held in 1916. These have morphed into big-budget productions in Australia, New Zealand and Turkey.

She survived childhood trauma and alcoholism to flourish as a queer, feminist and punk writer. Now blissfully married to her ‘husband-wife’.

She had come through a series of traumatic experiences including the discovery that her stepfather had drilled a hole in the wall of her bedroom in Chelsea, Massachusetts, in order to spy on her, and what she calls her “lesbian feminist nervous breakdown”, a sexual and ideological awakening that she laughs about now but at the time she found “overwhelming”.

Assange's case may be delayed until November amid coronavirus lockdown

 

London: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's US extradition case will be delayed over concerns about his ability to attend hearings in person amid the UK's coronavirus lockdown.

 

District Judge Vanessa Baraister has adjourned the case until May 4 so lawyers can work out a new date for the next hearing, which could be as late as November 2.

 

Assange is battling to avoid extradition to the US to face charges of violating spy laws and computer intrusion.

 

The Australian's lawyers argued there were a raft of reasons to delay the case in the Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday.

 

But Judge Baraister was only convinced by one: the potential inability for Assange and lawyers to attend the planned May 18 hearing in person.

 

"Remote attendance by the parties in this case will not be appropriate," she ruled.

 

"It is now appropriate to vacate that hearing and fix it to a later date."

 

Barrister Edward Fitzgerald had argued that, apart from brief phone calls, defence lawyers hadn't spoken with Assange for over a month.

 

He said they were due to meet him in the holding cells of Woolwich Crown Court last week but prison authorities wouldn't allow it.

 

"With the coronavirus outbreak the preparation for this case goes from difficult to impossible," Mr Fitzgerald told the court.

 

"There are no person-to-person meetings. The alternative of video conferences is medically dangerous.

 

"Mr Assange will be facing a David and Goliath battle with his hands tied behind his back."

 

The barrister argued that the lockdown prevented witnesses from attending in person and the press from monitoring proceedings.

 

Mr Fitzgerald also raised the advice of Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot on extradition hearings earlier this month.

 

He said the senior judge had recommended extradition hearings only occur by videolinks if both parties agree to it.

 

"In this case both the prosecution and defence agree that it would not be fair to proceed with this hearing by videolink," he said.

 

Judge Baraister couldn't see how the lockdown would affect case preparation, witness attendance or press reporting.

 

However, she granted the delay because the physical attendance of Assange and both legal teams on May 18 was in doubt.

 

Assange's father John Shipton hopes he will apply for bail soon to protect his health.

 

"So Julian can come home to his family and children rather than being in constant danger of having a lung infection in a COVID prison where two people have died of the disease," he said outside court.

 

"It's just wrong, it's just wrong, he's an innocent man on remand."

 

Shipton added that Assange should be with his fiancee and two young sons.

 

"They do need their father, they do need him very soon," he said.

 

Judge Baraister denied a bail application two weeks ago, when his lawyers argued Assange was in danger of contracting the coronavirus in prison.

 

Assange faces 17 charges of violating the US Espionage Act and one of conspiring to commit computer intrusion.

 

He's accused of publishing thousands of secret US diplomatic and military files, some of which revealed alleged war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

The charges carry a total of 175 years' imprisonment.

How Australia partly funded two Chinese scientists from the Wuhan lab linked to the COVID-19 outbreak to study bat viruses at a CSIRO lab

 

Two Chinese scientists who worked for the Wuhan Institute of Virology studied bats in a CSIRO facility as part of researched funded by both the Australian and Chinese governments.

 

Intelligence agencies from the 'Five Eyes' network comprising of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the US are examining the work of two staffers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, according to the Daily Telegraph.

 

However, when questioned about the allegations by ABC Radio National, Trade Minister Simon Birmingham denied knowing of any such investigation.

 

'I don't and the government does not comment on national security or intelligence matters, that is a long standing practice. I am not aware of any investigation and I wouldn't comment on them even if I were,' Senator Birmingham said.

 

'However, we want to see transparent investigations into the causes so that we can prevent repeats of such pandemics into the future.'

 

The alleged probe comes as President Donald Trump said the US is looking into whether the virus accidentally leaked from the lab, which was researching coronaviruses including the SARS virus, a close genetic relative of the current virus.

 

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US had demanded access to the facility but the lab director said 'there's no way this virus came from us' and Beijing rejected the request.

 

One of the scientists whose work is reportedly being examined by western spies spent three years at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory between 2011 and 2014.

 

Zhou Peng, head of Wuhan's Bat Virus Infection and Immunity Project, was part of a study which involved transporting bats from Queensland to the lab in Geelong, Victoria where they were killed, dissected and studied for viruses.

 

The project, funded jointly by the Australia and Chinese governments, found 'bats are rich reservoirs for emerging viruses'.

 

The other scientist whose work is being examined also worked at Australia's Animal Health Laboratory for three months in 2006.

 

Shi Zhengli - who is known as 'bat woman' by her colleagues because of her expeditions into bat caves to analyse the animals - studied bat faeces to identify the mammals as a natural host for viruses similar to SARS.

 

The two scientists jointly wrote a paper in January that said the new coronavirus probably originated from bats, just like SARS.

 

Zhengli told the Scientific American that when she was first told of a pneumonia outbreak she feared the lab may be responsible for leaking coronaviruses.

 

She told the journal that she wondered: 'Could they have come from our lab?'

 

Later, test results showed genome sequences taken from infected patients did not match any her team were working on in the lab, meaning the new coronavirus did not come from an accidental leak.

 

She said: 'That really took a load off my mind. I had not slept a wink for days.'

 

A spokesman for CSIRO confirmed bat research took place with international partners in Geelong.

 

The spokesman said: 'CSIRO undertakes all research in accordance with strict biosecurity and legislative requirements.

 

'CSIRO's collaborations with research organisations from many countries around the world are helping drive global effort forwards to human diseases prevention and management.

 

'As with all partners, CSIRO undertakes due diligence and takes security very seriously.'

 

It comes after the Australian government joined the US in calling for an international inquiry into the origins of coronavirus.

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has repeatedly called for a coronavirus investigation and has demanded changes in the 'upper echelons' of the World Health Organisation after it praised China's handling of the outbreak.

 

He was also the first world leader to call for a ban on China's wet markets where the virus is suspected of jumping from animals to humans in November, calling their re-opening 'unfathomable'.

 

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said it was 'seriously concerned and firmly opposed' to an inquiry and slammed foreign minister Marise Payne after she suggested China withheld information regarding the spread of the virus.

 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton also faced the wrath of Beijing when he said China needs to 'answer questions' on the virus origins after unsubstantiated reports from the US that it was grown in a lab in Wuhan and accidentally escaped.

 

The Chinese Embassy hit back, calling Mr Dutton 'pitiful,' 'ignorant' and a parrot of America.

Porter seeks 'final advice' on release of commission's Pell findings

 

Federal Attorney-General Christian Porter has sought "final advice" about releasing unpublished royal commission findings into the conduct of Australia's most senior Catholic, Cardinal George Pell.

 

Mr Porter said he sought the advice after being told by his Victorian counterpart, Jill Hennessy, that there were no legal barriers to making public the previously redacted findings of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

 

"I have sought final advice from my department on the release of the documents and will proceed upon receipt of that advice which I expect as soon as possible,'' he said.

 

Mr Porter's comments suggest the release of the material is imminent. Although royal commission findings must be tabled in Parliament, this can be done without Parliament sitting.

 

Ms Hennessy wrote to Mr Porter on Monday telling him there are no investigations by Victoria Police or planned prosecutions that require the findings to remain hidden from view.

 

The advice clears the way for the federal government to make public the royal commission findings examining Cardinal Pell's knowledge of child sexual abuse by Catholic priests when he was in the Ballarat diocese, the centre of clerical abuse in Australia.

 

"The removal of redactions is entirely a matter for the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse," a state government spokeswoman said.

 

"The government is not aware of any impediments to the unredacted versions of these reports being tabled and published at this time."

 

The release of 60 pages of redacted royal commission findings is the next step in the saga of Cardinal Pell, who was this month acquitted in the High Court over the alleged sexual assault of two 13-year-old choirboys when he was Archbishop of Melbourne.

 

The section of the royal commission final report detailing Cardinal Pell's time in Ballarat and when he might have first learned that paedophile priests such as Gerald Ridsdale were preying on children in the diocese was suppressed to prevent any findings from having a prejudicial impact on the criminal proceedings against him.

 

Cardinal Pell was convicted in December 2018 by a County Court jury of five historical child sex offences and the verdict upheld by a majority decision of the Victorian Court of Appeal.

 

When the High Court overturned that decision, ruling unanimously that the verdict was not open to the jury on the evidence and ordering that his conviction be quashed, Premier Daniel Andrews immediately called on the federal government to authorise the release of the royal commission findings.

 

In response, Mr Porter wrote to Ms Hennessy asking whether there were any matters still before police or the Office of Public Prosecutions that would prevent the findings being released.

 

Cardinal Pell, who provided testimony to the royal commission from Rome, has steadfastly denied knowing when he was in Ballarat about the sexual abuse of children by Ridsdale and other priests or that paedophile priests were moved from the diocese in response to complaints against them.

Clive Palmer takes out three-page ads promoting purchase of malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine

 

Businessman, former politician and publicity hound Clive Palmer has taken out a three-page spread in News Corp publications, claiming to have purchased 32.9 million doses of hydroxychloroquine – an antimalarial drug being studied for its effectiveness in treating COVID-19.

 

Palmer’s text-heavy ad says he has purchased the drug and donated it to the Australian government, “so it may be available free to all Australians”.

 

Palmer said he had paid for the drugs “with his own money” and claimed health minister Greg Hunt was grateful for his efforts.

 

Thus far, clinical trials of the drug have experienced inconsistent results, but some Australian hospitals are prescribing it to those COVID-19 patients in intensive care.

 

Palmer, however, said acting fast was key, and the drug was the “best hope” for those knocked down by the disease.

 

“If we had not moved in early March when we did, we would have lost our opportunity,” he quotes himself in the ad.

 

“The tablets we have acquired have a shelf life of three years and the bulk materials longer,” he said. “A vaccine may take many years to develop and Australia has to be ready to provide the best treatment for its citizens should the worst occur. The small contribution that I have made will assist Australia in getting back on its feet sooner.”

 

Palmer also used the ad to heap praise on the government for its response to COVID-19.

 

“The Australian government has done a great job in protecting and defending the Australian people in this time of national crisis,” he said. “In particular, the Prime Minister has showed the calm leadership necessary to guide the nation in troubled times. The Health Minister Greg Hunt had shown exceptional courage and dedication in filling his role and his performance as health minister was just what any doctor would have ordered.”

 

Pages two and three of the ad provide a COVID-19 timeline, including when the diseases was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO), and various counties’ experimentation with the hydroxychloroquine drug.

China Warns Australia: Drop Push for Coronavirus Probe

 

The Australian government’s call for China to explain its bungled handling of the deadly coronavirus pandemic could spark a boycott by Chinese consumers, who may no longer travel and study in Australia or buy major exports including beef and wine.

 

That was the stark warning delivered Monday by Ambassador Cheng Jingye via an interview published in the Australian Financial Review.

 

The ambassador said Australia’s inquiry push was “dangerous” and destined to fail, adding to previous criticism from Beijing, which portrayed Canberra as unblinking lackeys of the U.S. in the Pacific.

FBI releases tweets between Roger Stone and Julian Assange

 

Washington: Weeks after Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel in the Russia investigation, Roger Stone, a confidant of US President Donald Trump, reassured WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in a Twitter message that if prosecutors came after him, "I will bring down the entire house of cards", according to FBI documents made public on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST).

 

The records reveal the extent of communications between Stone and Assange, whose anti-secrecy website published Democratic emails hacked by Russians during the 2016 presidential election, and underscore efforts by Trump allies to gain insight about the release of information they expected would embarrass Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

 

The documents - FBI affidavits submitted to obtain search warrants in the criminal investigation into Stone - were released following a court case brought by The Associated Press and other media organisations.

 

They were made public as Stone, convicted last year in Mueller's investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, awaits a date to surrender to a federal prison system that has grappled with outbreaks of the coronavirus.

 

In a June 2017 Twitter direct message cited in the records, Stone reassured Assange that the issue was "still nonsense" and said "as a journalist it doesn't matter where you get information only that it is accurate and authentic".

 

He cited as an example the 1971 Supreme Court ruling that facilitated the publishing by newspapers of the Pentagon Papers, classified government documents about the Vietnam War.

 

"If the US government moves on you I will bring down the entire house of cards," Stone wrote, according to a transcript of the message cited in the search warrant affidavit. "With the trumped-up sexual assault charges dropped I don't know of any crime you need to be pardoned for - best regards. R."

 

Stone was likely referring to a sexual assault investigation dropped by Swedish authorities. Assange, who at the time was holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, was charged last year with a series of crimes by the US Justice Department, including Espionage Act violations for allegedly directing former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning in one of the largest compromises of classified information in US history.

 

According to the documents, Assange, who is imprisoned in London and is fighting his extradition to the US, responded to Stone's 2017 Twitter message by saying: "Between CIA and DoJ they're doing quite a lot. On the DoJ side that's coming most strongly from those obsessed with taking down Trump trying to squeeze us into a deal."

 

Stone replied that he was doing everything possible to "address the issues at the highest level of government".

 

The records illustrate the Trump campaign's curiosity about what information WikiLeaks was going to make public. Former White House adviser Steve Bannon told Mueller's team under questioning that he had asked Stone about WikiLeaks because he had heard that Stone had a channel to Assange, and he was hoping for more releases of damaging information.

 

Mueller's investigation identified significant contact during the 2016 campaign between Trump associates and Russians, but did not allege a criminal conspiracy to tip the outcome of the presidential election.

 

In a statement on Tuesday, Stone acknowledged that the search warrant affidavits contain private communication, but insisted that they "prove no crimes".

 

"I have no trepidation about their release as they confirm there was no illegal activity and certainly no Russian collusion by me during the 2016 Election," Stone said. "There is, to this day, no evidence that I had or knew about the source or content of the Wikileaks disclosures prior to their public release."

 

Stone was among six associates of Trump charged in Mueller's investigation. He was convicted last year of lying to House lawmakers, tampering with a witness and obstructing Congress' own Russia probe.

 

A judge in February sentenced Stone to 40 months in prison in a case that exposed fissures inside the Justice Department - the entire trial team quit the case amid a dispute over the recommended punishment - and between Trump and Attorney-General William Barr, who said the President's tweets about ongoing cases made his job "impossible".

Australia was told there was a '50% chance' coronavirus may have leaked from a Wuhan lab two months ago - but the government now believes that isn't true

 

The federal government was told in the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak in Australia that the deadly virus may have been leaked from a Wuhan lab, senior sources have confirmed.

 

The Morrison government was told in February there was a 50 per cent chance it was accidentally released from a bio-containment facility located in the initial Chinese virus epicentre before more became known about it.

 

The government now believes it's unlikely the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the source of the virus which has claimed 89 lives in Australia and more than three million worldwide.

 

It comes after it was revealed two senior scientists from the lab - Peng Zhou and Shi Zhengli - previously studied bats at the CSIRO's Australian Animal Health Laboratory as part of research funded by both the Australian and Chinese governments.

 

Australia is now calling a review from China to understand 'exactly' how coronavirus originated.

 

'We want a clear, independent, fearless global review of the origins, the actions, and the global path forward, in relation to this and all future pandemics,' federal health minister Greg Hunt told the Daily Telegraph.

 

The work of Mr Zhou and Ms Zhengli is being examined by intelligence agencies from the 'Five Eyes' network comprising of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the US as part of their investigations into the origins of coronavirus.

 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton was reluctant to comment on the investigation.

 

'Obviously, ASIO and our agencies do a lot of work with their international counterparts, particularly the Five Eyes community. We've looked at a number of cases, particularly over the last couple of years,' he told the publication.

 

Trade Minister Simon Birmingham denied knowing of any such investigation.

 

'Obviously we want to see a transparent investigation into the matter,' Senator Birmingham told ABC Radio National.

 

'I don't and the government does not comment on national security or intelligence matters, that is a long standing practice. I am not aware of any investigation and I wouldn't comment on them even if I were.

 

'However, we want to see transparent investigations into the causes so that we can prevent repeats of such pandemics into the future.'

 

Mr Peng, head of Wuhan's Bat Virus Infection and Immunity Project, spent three years at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory between 2011 and 2014.

 

He was part of a study which involved transporting bats from Queensland to the lab in Geelong in regional Victoria where they were killed, dissected and studied for viruses.

 

The project, funded jointly by the Australia and Chinese governments, found 'bats are rich reservoirs for emerging viruses'.

 

Ms Zhengli also worked at Australia's Animal Health Laboratory for three months in 2006, where she studied bat faeces to identify the mammals as a natural host for viruses similar to SARS.

 

She is now the director of the Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the Wuhan lab.

 

The two scientists jointly wrote a paper in January that said the novel coronavirus probably originated from bats, similar to SARS.

 

Zhengli told the Scientific American that when she was first told of a pneumonia outbreak she feared the lab may be responsible for leaking coronaviruses.

 

She told the journal that she wondered: 'Could they have come from our lab?'

 

Ms Zhengli now insists the virus did not escape from her “world-class lab”.

 

Test results showed genome sequences taken from infected patients did not match any her team were working on in the lab, meaning the novel coronavirus did not come from an accidental leak.

 

'That really took a load off my mind. I had not slept a wink for days,' Ms Zhengli said.

 

The CSIRO has confirmed bat research has taken place at its high biocontainment facility, the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP).

 

'While there is no current research on bats at ACDP, research into bats underpins much of our understanding of zoonotic diseases,' a CSIRO statement read.

 

'CSIRO undertakes all research in accordance with strict biosecurity and legislative requirements

 

CSIRO’s collaborations with research organisations from many countries around the world are helping drive global effort forwards to human diseases prevention and management.

 

'As with all partners, CSIRO undertakes due diligence and takes security very seriously.'

Coronavirus: Trump administration to closely monitor Australia’s winter virus experience

 

The Trump administration says it will be watching Australia’s experience closely during the coming winter months as an indicator of whether coronavirus comes back strongly with colder weather.

 

Deborah Birx, the White House’s coronavirus taskforce coordinator says what happens to Australia and other Southern Hemisphere nations this winter will be a key guide as to whether the virus comes roaring back in the US in the northern hemisphere autumn later this year.

 

“Normally, northern hemisphere respiratory diseases move into the southern hemisphere during the summer because it’s their fall,” Dr Birx said.

 

“It will be very interesting to watch Australia, New Zealand, southern Africa, and Chile and Argentina to see what happens with the virus in the summertime and what’s happening to the virus here,” she said. “So really, those two pieces together will really define how we do in the fall.”

 

Health experts in the US fear that the virus could return in a large second wave of infections later this year, fueled by colder weather as well as by more relaxed social distancing restrictions.

 

Viruses normally get worse in winter months but health experts are still unclear as to how it may affect the coronavirus which has spread rapidly through both hot and cold countries in recent months.

 

Australia and New Zealand’s success in combating the spread of the virus has been front page news in the US amid ongoing debate in the US about how fast restrictions should be eased in order to reopen the economy.

 

Meanwhile Mr Trump’s former opponent Hillary Clinton has attacked Mr Trump, saying he had failed to be a “real president’’ in the crisis.

 

In a live-streamed video chat with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Ms Clinton said Mr Trump had failed to listen to intelligence warnings about the looming pandemic.

 

“The one thing I’d have done, Joe, which you know so well — I would have read my daily intelligence briefings that were sounding alarms since January, but, apparently, this president does not do it. We used to do,” Ms Clinton said.

 

“What a difference it would make right now if we had a president who not only listened to the science, put facts over fiction, but brought us together.”

 

At least 13 states have begun to reopen their economy, although several of them, such as Georgia, have done so despite not having the sustained fall in new cases which was recommended as a precondition by the White House’s federal guidelines.

 

“Hopefully everyone does it according to the guidelines for ‘Opening Up America Again,’” the country’s top infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci said.

 

Dr Fauci warned that premature action by states could lead to “a rebound to get us right back in the same boat that we were in a few weeks ago.”

 

He was speaking as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the US passed one million, with 57,812 deaths.

 

Meanwhile a key model used by the White House — forecasts by the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation — has raised the total level of likely deaths in the US to 74,000 by early August. Several weeks ago the IHME predicted 60,000 US deaths by early August — a number which Mr Trump said was a vast improvement on initial predictions of between 100,000 and 220,000 deaths.

 

The IHME said the new higher forecast reflected “many states experiencing flatter and thus longer epidemic peaks,” as well as data showing that daily coronavirus deaths “are not falling very quickly after the peak, leading to longer tails for many states’ epidemic curves.”

 

“In combination — less abrupt peaks and slower declines in daily COVID-19 deaths following the peak — many places in the US could have higher cumulative deaths from the novel coronavirus,” the IHME said.

 

The overall US death rate is expected to be higher than the latest forecast because it does not take into account any deaths during the northern autumn and winter when experts fear there could be a second wave.

 

Mr Trump said the US would be in a position to handle any second wave of the virus later this year and that within months the country would have the ability to test five million people for the virus each day.

 

At the moment, only 200,000 people are being tested per day in the US, a number which experts say is not nearly enough to get a clear picture of the rate of infections at a time when states are starting to reopen their economies.

China labels Australia 'gum stuck to the bottom of China’s shoe' over calls for coronavirus inquiry

 

The federal government is refusing to back down on calls for a global review into the origins of coronavirus despite China threatening an economic boycott of Australia.

 

Australia is continuing to rebuff China's threats of an economic boycott, with Scott Morrison refusing to back down on his calls for an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The Chinese embassy has labelled the move politically motivated, with one Chinese state media editor comparing Australia to "chewing gum stuck to the bottom of China's shoe".

 

Hu Xijin, the editor of the state-run Global Times, wrote on Chinese social media platform Weibo that strained ties between the major trading partners meant their relationship must be reconsidered.

 

"Somehow Australia is jumping up and down again and again. It is like chewing gum stuck to the bottom of China’s shoe. Sometimes you just have to find a rock and rub it off," he said.

 

"After COVID-19, those who are doing business with Australia, or sending kids there to study, will need to assess the risks."

 

The attack comes amid a series of columns published in the Global Times criticising the Australian prime minister's for the global review.

 

In one opinion piece, author Chen Hong suggested Mr Morrison's comments would fuel racism and hate crimes against people of Chinese heritage.

 

"It is utterly senseless for Australia to start a blame game that amounts to pointing a finger at the victim," he wrote.

 

"Consequently, Chinese and other Asians in Australia have become a vulnerable target of racial discrimination and hate crimes."

 

The author accused Australia of spearheading a "malicious campaign to frame and incriminate China with groundless conjecture and outlandish fabrications".

 

Beijing has also accused Australia of being a "mouth piece" of United States President Donald Trump through adopting his anti-Chinese rhetoric.

 

Morrison brushes off criticism

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Wednesday again defended his push for the independent inquiry.

 

He said commentary from Beijing officials criticising Australia was a "matter for them".

 

"What Australia is pursuing is not targeted. It is said independently, it is said out of common sense.

 

"I find Australia's position to be not remarkable at all, but one that is entirely responsible."

 

China's ambassador in Canberra Cheng Jingye this week said calls for the global review could result in a boycott Australian education, tourism and agriculture.

 

The row intensified after a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy detailed a private phone call between DFAT head Frances Adamson and Mr Cheng about the threats.

 

"Ambassador Cheng elaborated clearly China's relevant position, stressing that no matter what excuses the Australian side has made, the fact cannot be buried that the proposal is a political manoeuvre," the spokesperson said.

 

"Just as a western saying goes: Cry up wine and sell vinegar."

 

The saying is a reference to offering up a superior product but substituting it with a sham.

 

The ambassador also told Ms Adamson Australia must "put aside ideological bias, stop political games and do more things to promote the bilateral relations", the embassy said.

 

DFAT has responded noting with "regret" that the Chinese embassy had issued a statement releasing purported details of official diplomatic exchanges.

 

"The department will not respond by itself breaching the long standing diplomatic courtesies and professional practices to which it will continue to adhere," a DFAT spokesperson said.

 

"How foreign missions engage the Australian media are matters for those missions."

 

The Chinese embassy again hitting back saying it does not play "petty tricks".

 

"This is not our tradition. But if others do, we have to reciprocate," a spokesperson said.

 

DFAT's Ms Adamson had told Mr Cheng the proposal didn't have a political motive and didn't target China.

 

The Chinese ambassador Mr Cheng on Monday said Australia's support for the inquiry could result in Chinese tourists having second thoughts about visiting.

 

"Maybe the ordinary people will say 'Why should we drink Australian wine? Eat Australian beef?'" he told The Australian Financial Review.

 

Labor is backing the government's calls for a review into the origins of the virus.

 

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg also rejected claims Australia was being unfair against China as "ludicrous" amid threats of an economic boycott.

 

"The reality is Australia thinks it's prudent and sensible for there to be an independent and transparent investigation into the origins of this global pandemic," he told Sky News.

Coronavirus pandemic saves convicted paedophile from prison

 

A grandfather convicted of molesting his grandson the day before his sixth birthday will not be sent to prison because of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The 76-year-old man, given the pseudonym of RC to protect the identity of his victim, was convicted in the District Court in July last year of twice digitally penetrating the five-year-old's bottom.

 

RC, a former public servant who also trained for five years as a priest, was then sentenced to an 18-month community order for sexual intercourse with a child under 10 years.

 

The Court of Criminal Appeal unanimously found this week that the sentence imposed by Justice Justin Smith SC was "manifestly inadequate".

 

"It is so far below the range of sentences that could be justly imposed for an offence of this nature that it could tend to undermine public confidence in the proper administration of criminal justice in the sentencing of offenders for the commission of serious sexual assaults upon very young children," Justice Helen Wilson said.

 

The maximum sentence for sexual intercourse with a child under 10 years is life imprisonment.

 

"It could only be in the most extraordinary and unusual circumstances that a sentence of full-time imprisonment would not be imposed," Justice Wilson said.

 

"There were no extraordinary or unusual circumstances in the respondent’s case."

 

An appropriate sentence would be three years' imprisonment with a non-parole period of one year, Justice Wilson said.

 

RC suffers from bronchiectasis, systemic hypertension, kidney disease and is "particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and mortality", according to an affidavit from his doctor.

 

In encouraging the court to use its discretion and not imprison him, RC said "he is at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 than other prisoners if he is committed to the prison system, and faces the prospect if infected of a very poor outcome including the possibility of death".

 

The unusual circumstances of the appeal against RC's sentence in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic meant he was not given a custodial sentence, even though the Court of Criminal Appeal believed it was more appropriate than the initial 18 months.

 

"The purpose of such appeals would not be advanced in any meaningful way by sending this 76-year- old man with respiratory problems and other health issues to jail for a minimum period of 12 months during the currency of the COVID-19 pandemic," Justice Peter Hamill said.

Australian intelligence officials have no evidence of Wuhan lab link to coronavirus

 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has raised doubts about speculation the coronavirus started in a Wuhan laboratory after Australian intelligence officials were unable to find any evidence to support the theory.

 

Intelligence agencies in the United States are investigating whether the virus started at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, near where the outbreak was first recorded, as part of a number of theories relayed to the Australian government under the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangement.

 

The intelligence has found no evidence that the Wuhan lab was the cause of the outbreak - only that it is one of a number of scenarios that cannot be ruled out.

 

The most likely cause of the virus is still the city's Huanan Seafood Market where environmental samples of the virus were found, Australian intelligence officials believe. Scientists studying the pathogen's genome have said it can only have evolved in nature and had long been warning that deforestation, urban sprawl and wet markets selling live wildlife such as that market in Wuhan were creating a "perfect storm" for another dangerous virus to jump from animals into humans.

 

Mr Morrison is also of the belief the wet market is the most likely culprit and has told senior members of the government he has seen no evidence that would suggest otherwise, several senior government sources confirmed.

 

Health Minister Greg Hunt on Wednesday said the original source of the virus had not been determined but "we do know, and all have agreed, that it was early spread within a wet market".

 

Intelligence shared with the Australian government has also rejected any suggestion that the virus was intentionally released.

 

The theory that the coronavirus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology has been receiving significant coverage in the American media. News Corp's Australian newspapers also published reports this week revealing two Chinese scientists who work at the Wuhan lab have previously studied live bats in Australia in research jointly funded by the Australian and Chinese governments.

 

Senior sources within the Australian intelligence community have told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age there is growing concern about promoting the theory when there was "no positive evidence".

 

"We can't rule it out, we can't rule out a lot of things," one senior source said. "It's hard to prove a negative".

 

Some senior members of the government are also uneasy about the theory being promoted when Australia is campaigning on the global stage to ban wildlife wet markets and push for a global review into the origins of the virus.

 

The legal wildlife trade continued in China after a wet market gave birth to the first deadly coronavirus outbreak of the modern era, SARS, in 2002.

 

Now wet markets have again reopened in Wuhan as the city emerges from lockdown, a move Mr Morrison has called "unfathomable" given what is known about their risks to global health.

 

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is just a 30-minute drive from the market, an offshoot of the state-owned Chinese Academy of the Sciences, built with help from France. But virologists say it's not top-secret – international collaboration is common and its researchers had been trained to handle dangerous pathogens as part of a long partnership with the Galveston lab in the US.

 

While viral leaks are not without precedent around the world, and there had been concerns raised by the US State Department in 2018 about a lack of staff at the lab, the scientists at the facility have strongly denied a connection to the pandemic. On Wednesday it again said it did not have the technical capability to build a new virus and suggestions it had accidentally released one had been pulled out of thin air.

 

Its deputy director Shi Zhengli, who helped trace the origins of SARS, has previously said she checked the lab's own samples as the new virus emerged just in case something had been mishandled, but it hadn't.

 

The virus is new, scientists say, and has not been recorded by a lab before. Most pandemic viruses, and more than 70 per cent of all new diseases emerging in humans, come from animals - when a virus that has long been circulating in one species jumps into a new host, sometimes more than one. These spillovers are happening more and more as people push further into the wild and force animals out of their habitat.

 

The lab theory is surfacing again as Australia and other countries try to counter a Chinese disinformation campaign, including the claim that it was a US military delegation that brought COVID-19 to Wuhan.

Coronavirus Australia: US secretary of state Mike Pompeo backs Scott Morrison call for virus inquiry

 

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has backed Scott Morrison’s push for an inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus and has criticised China for threatening economic retaliation against Australia.

 

Mr Pompeo said all countries should join Australia’s call for answers from China about how the pandemic was triggered that has wreaked a path of death across the world and has hobbled the global economy.

 

“I saw comments from the Chinese foreign ministry talking about coercive activity with respect to Australia, who had the temerity to ask for an investigation,” Mr Pompeo said in Washington.

 

“Who in the world wouldn’t want an investigation of how this happened to the world? We would urge every country, all of our partners, to demand that we get answers for what happened here, but also that we continue to have — we get the transparency, that the world gets the transparency it needs.”

 

Mr Pompeo said the immediate focus of the US was on saving lives and then on rebuilding the economy, but he said Washington would soon examine how to hold China accountable for the devastation caused by the virus that originated late last year in Wuhan.

 

“There’ll be ample time to evaluate how it is we hold accountable those responsible for loss of what is now tens of thousands of American lives and enormous amount of wealth — not only American wealth, but the global economy’s devastation as a result of this virus.”

 

China has threatened economic retaliation against Australia after Mr Morrison called for an independent international investigation into the origins of the pandemic.

 

“It would seem entirely reasonable and sensible that the world would want to have an independent assessment of how this all occurred, so we can learn the lessons and prevent it from happening again,” Mr Morrison said this week.

 

“I think it is a fairly obvious and common sense suggestion, that I believe there will be support for.”

 

The Chinese ambassador in Canberra Jingye Cheng has strongly opposed such an inquiry which Beijing fears would further harm its international reputation.

 

Mr Cheng suggested that Beijing could stop tourists and students coming to Australia and that the Chinese public would boycott Australian beef and wine.

 

“Maybe also the ordinary people will say why should we drink Australian wine or to eat Australian beef?” Mr Cheng said.

 

The Ambassador accused the Morrison Government of playing political games and of harbouring “ideological bias”.

 

Trade Minister Simon Birmingham has described Mr Cheng’s comments as “disappointing” but said the government would continue to call for an inquiry.

 

“Australia is no more going to change our policy position on a major public health issue because of economic coercion or threats of coercion, than we would change our policy position in matters of national security,” he said.

 

US President Donald Trump has accused China of deceiving the world by hiding news of the initial outbreak of the virus in Wuhan and failing to warn of its spread. Mr Trump has also said he believes Beijing has grossly understated the number of those who died from the virus in China.

 

The US death toll from the virus has now exceeded 60,000 people and has now taken the lives of more Americans than the Vietnam War.

 

The US economy is also in freefall and is suffering its sharpest downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

I can't help but think that the Eastern Freeway tragedy was also sending a message to Q, in addition to the month of April sacrifice. What makes me think that is that it occurred in a suburb called 'Kew' (Q) near the Chandler Highway (Rachel Chandler?) around 5:40pm (17:40… or close enough to 5:50 / 5:5).

 

I may be reading into this whole thing a bit too much, but I had to just get it off my mind.

 

Not only that, the driver of the Porshe's name was Richard Pusey (dick pussy?)…seriously? rolls eyes.

"Panda" Child Sodomy Song in Secret Life Of Pets 2

 

"Panda Eyes" is what Pedophiles call infants who have been sodomized, because the trauma causes the blood vessels all around the infants' eyes to burst, and the skin on and around the eyelids turn black from the hemorrhaged blood.

 

I just finished watching the kids' movie The Secret Life of Pets 2.

At the end, after the credits roll, a Rabbit character in the movie named Snowball does a song as a rapper.    He does his rap song and next to him is a small stuffed Panda doll, as the Rabbit raps "Panda, Panda".

 

The small stuffed Panda has yellow curly hair with bangs like a girl, with small child-like pink human lips. (unlike all the other stuffed animals and "live" animal characters who have animal mouths) 

 

*This week, Ben Fulford on his blog showed a photo of an infant boy with the black "Panda Eyes", rescued in New York.

 

See photo of Infant Boy with black Panda Eyes, scroll down page:

The Secret Life of Pets 2  Panda song at the very end would normally have been a cute song, except that the Panda doll with pink human lips is obviously Coded for Hollywood insiders who would know what a blond girl with black Eyes signifies.

 

These people are Sick

Jacinda Ardern to join Australian national cabinet meeting on Tuesday

 

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will join Australia's national cabinet meeting on Tuesday to discuss COVID-19, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced.

 

The national cabinet meeting takes in the Prime Minister and all state and territory premiers and chief ministers.

 

Mr Morrison suggested last Thursday she phone in to the meeting, and following national cabinet's agreement on Friday, she was formally invited and has accepted.

 

They are expected to discuss a mooted "trans-tasman bubble" that would allow Kiwis and Australians to freely travel between countries.

 

They will also discuss the CovidSafe app, a version of which NZ is also adopting.

 

New Zealand's Foreign Minister Winston Peters has said he is very keen on the idea of the trans-tasman bubble and Health Director General Ashley Bloomfield said on Monday he was in constant contact with his Australian counterparts.

 

Mr Bloomfield said he had been providing advice to Ardern ahead of the call.

 

Mr Morrison also had a discussion with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday night, with the two leaders discussing how each of their countries had dealt with the coronavirus and how they would ease restrictions and open up the economy.

 

They also discussed Australia's push for an independent review into the origins of the global pandemic.

International Production Orders Bill will give ASIO access to encrypted communications

 

The spy agency said the Bill would help it fulfil its function of protecting Australia from violent, clandestine, and deceptive efforts to harm Australians and undermine the nation's sovereignty.

 

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) has shown its support for the Bill, paving the way for Australia to obtain a proposed bilateral agreement with the United States for implementing the US Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act (CLOUD Act).

 

In a submission [PDF] to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS), ASIO said the Telecommunications Legislation Amendment (International Production Orders) Bill 2020 (IPO Bill) is a "key mechanism to enable ongoing and reliable access to a broad range of data and communications sourced from offshore providers".

 

The IPO Bill is intended to amend the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 (TIA Act) to create a framework for Australian agencies to gain access to stored telecommunications data from foreign designated communication providers in countries that have an agreement with Australia, and vice versa.

 

The Bill is a precondition for Australia to obtain a proposed bilateral agreement with the United States in order to implement the CLOUD Act. The CLOUD Act creates a legal framework regulating how law enforcement can access data across borders.

 

A bilateral CLOUD Act agreement would enable Australian law enforcement to serve domestic orders for communications data needed to combat serious crime directly on US-based companies, and vice versa.

 

Specifically, ASIO said passage of the Bill would allow it access to encrypted communications stored overseas.

 

"Australia has seen a steady shift to encrypted Internet Protocol (IP)-based communications over the past decade, with the majority of these services provided by offshore companies," it wrote. "This shift in communications practices has naturally been mirrored by the subjects of ASIO's investigations."

 

ASIO said as companies that provide encrypted IP communications services are mostly based offshore meaning they often fall outside the legal frameworks in Australia that authorise interception of communications or disclosure of telecommunications data such communications are therefore not accessible to ASIO or, when collected through warranted interception via onshore providers, are encrypted and unusable.

 

"The Bill seeks to enable access by agencies such as ASIO to data controlled by technology companies located offshore, where such access is for national security purposes. It will enable ongoing and reliable access to a broad range of data and communications sourced directly from offshore providers," it said.

 

"Legislation that supports ASIO's ability to fulfil its function to obtain, correlate, and evaluate intelligence relevant to security is essential."

 

ASIO said the Bill would provide it with a clear legal mechanism to seek access to data and communications, and that it would help ensure consistent and reliable access in support to investigations.

 

"By enabling ongoing and reliable access to data and communications sourced from offshore providers, where such access is for national security purposes, the Bill will assist us to fulfil our function of protecting Australia from violent, clandestine, and deceptive efforts to harm Australians and undermine Australia's sovereignty," it said.

Three NSW men arrested over alleged purchase of child-like sex dolls

 

Three men have been arrested as a result of coordinated operations conducted across NSW in two days, targeting purchasers of child-like sex dolls.

 

The men each face a potential 15 years jail if convicted of possessing one of the dolls, under a new Commonwealth offence introduced in September 2019 to combat child abuse-related offences.

 

A multi-agency investigative team comprising Australian Federal Police (AFP), Australian Border Force (ABF) and the New South Wales Police Force (NSWPF), was formed after ABF officers intercepted three separate importations of the dolls throughout March and April.

 

Financial intelligence from AUSTRAC’s (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre) Fintel Alliance, with support from PayPal Australia and NSWPF, was used to assist in identifying transactions involving the purchase of the dolls.

 

These detections were referred to the AFP Eastern Command’s Child Protection Operations team to lead the formation of joint investigative teams.

 

On Thursday (30 April), the investigative teams executed search warrants at two homes - one in the Grafton area on the mid-north coast, and one north of Sydney.

 

A 62-year-old Grafton region man was arrested at his home, accused of importing a child-like sex doll from China.

 

Police will allege in court they found two dolls dressed in children’s clothing, as well other children’s clothing items at the property.

 

The 62-year-old was refused bail and appeared in Lismore Local Court by video-link yesterday (Friday, 1 May) charged with:

 

  • Two counts of possession of a child-like sex doll, contrary to section 273A.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth)- penalty: 15 years imprisonment;

 

  • Six counts of possessing or controlling child abuse material obtained or accessed using a carriage service, contrary to section 474.22A of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth)- penalty: 15 years imprisonment;

 

  • One count of import a prohibited tier 2 item, contrary to section 23BAB(5) of the Customs Act 1901 (Cth)- penalty: 10 years imprisonment.

 

In a second operation conducted Thursday, a 42-year-old Sydney man was also arrested at his Turramurra home, after investigators allegedly found a sex doll designed to look like a young child imported from Japan, and a second doll inside the property.

 

The man appeared before Parramatta Local Court Friday, 1 May charged with:

 

  • Possession of a child-like sex doll, contrary to section 273A.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth);

 

  • Import a prohibited tier 2 item, contrary to section 23BAB(5) of the Customs Act 1901 (Cth);

 

  • A state-based possession of cannabis offence.

 

A detailed forensic examination is being conducted of electronic devices seized from both the men’s homes.

 

Meanwhile, a third operation was conducted Friday morning (1 May) in the Grafton area. A 37-year-old man was arrested and charged with the Commonwealth offences of possession of a childlike doll, importing prohibited goods without approval, and possessing child abuse material.

 

He was scheduled to appear before Lismore Local Court Saturday, 1 May.

 

Police do not allege any connection between the three men.

 

AFP Assistant Commissioner Lesa Gale, Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE), said importing and possessing child-like sex dolls is illegal and any discovery of the abhorrent items, which objectify children, is concerning.

 

“These arrests highlight the work the AFP is doing with our partners to stamp out any form of child exploitation,” AC Gale said.

 

“These dolls sexualise children, they are not harmless and do not prevent people from offending in the future.

 

“Child-like sex dolls can desensitise people who use them to the physical, emotional and psychological harm caused by sexual abuse.

 

“Research by the Australian Institute of Criminology suggests that use of the dolls may lead to an escalation in child sex offences – from viewing online child abuse material to contact sexual offending.”

 

Australian Border Force Regional Commander for NSW Danielle Yannopoulos says child-like sex dolls are prohibited items and have no place in Australian society.

 

“The ABF is committed to detecting these dolls at the border and investigating and prosecuting those who seek to import this sickening material into our community,” Commander Yannopoulos said.

 

“Officers stopped 18 consignments containing child-like sex dolls and parts at the border in the first three months of 2020, highlighting the ABF’s zero tolerance approach to child exploitation material.”

Chinese government slams Australia over COVID-19 dossier coverage

 

The Chinese government has delivered a scathing response to reports in Australian media today, warning tensions could escalate.

 

The Chinese government has hit back at Australian media reports claiming it deliberately concealed evidence of the coronavirus outbreak, saying it could exacerbate tensions between the two countries.

 

Communist Party mouthpiece The Global Times said that western media outlets – “particularly those in Australia” – have “lost their self-proclaimed journalistic professionalism and independence”, and are now “hurting the profound friendship” between the two countries.

 

“Some Australian media and political elites have lost their independent judgment of the country's overall interests and have adopted a US-led approach to smearing China over COVID-19. They are hurting the profound friendship between the two peoples and the common interests that have long coalesced," the report said, quoting a Chinese professor.

 

It came after The Saturday Telegraph published a report on a 15-page dossier compiled by the Australian Secret Intelligence Service for “Five Eyes” partners the US, UK, New Zealand and Canada.

 

The report said China’s initial secrecy amounted to an “assault on international transparency”.

 

The dossier describes how Chinese authorities covered up the news of the virus “to the endangerment of other countries” by “disappearing” doctors who spoke out.

 

It claims “virus samples (were) ordered destroyed at genomics labs, wildlife market stalls bleached, the genome sequence not shared publicly, the Shanghai lab closed for ‘rectification’, academic articles subjected to prior review by the Ministry of Science and Technology and data on asymptomatic ‘silent carriers’ kept secret”.

 

It also accuses the Chinese government of destroying laboratory evidence and refusing to co-operate with international scientists working on a vaccine.

 

The report cites a "deadly denial of human-to-human transmission" and a delay in acknowledging the risk to the World Health Organisation, which saw millions in Wuhan free to travel and spread the deadly disease.

 

Australian intelligence officials say the P4 laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been investigating deadly bat-derived coronaviruses.

 

But experts noted that, while the dossier was “significant”, it provided no new evidence to further the case against China.

 

The Australian Government and NATO officially say it’s likely the virus originated in a Wuhan wet market.

 

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence acting director Richard Grenell likewise said the virus was not created in a laboratory.

 

“The entire intelligence community has been consistently providing critical support to US policymakers and those responding to the COVID-19 virus, which originated in China,” he said.

 

“The intelligence community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.

 

“As we do in all crises, the community’s experts respond by surging resources and producing critical intelligence on issues vital to US national security.

 

“The intelligence community will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”

I hear you brother & stand with you 100%.

 

Has anyone looked into this app to see where it originates from?

The developer listed on Google play is "info@health.gov.au", which tells me this was obviously contracted out, but to whom?

 

found this whilst reading the comment section on google play seems interesting;

 

" You should download this app. However this app is poorly designed and your information from this app will be held overseas in Amazon Web Services cloud servers, despite the Australian Government having access to secure (but maybe not as cheap) Australian cloud providers. Download this app in the name of public heath and write to your to your MP to let them know it's not okay such important data is going to leave our boarders, and that Australian companies were denied an opportunity to contribute"

 

This smells like ChInA to me!

 

Much love if anyone has looked into its source code and reversed engineered it.

 

And before I forget hi ALICE, I saw how you you flooded this board with your BS after my last post.

Julian Assange's US extradition case delay by coronavirus complications, will take place in September

 

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's US extradition case will be moved to another British court after being delayed until September.

 

District judge Vanessa Baraitser has ordered the Australian's case, which had been set for May 18, be moved from Woolwich Crown Court to another court and to resume in September.

 

"It's going to take some negotiation to find a Crown Court that is open in September, in the current climate, and willing and available to take this hearing," judge Baraitser said on Monday in Westminster Magistrates' Court.

 

The new location, which might be outside London, and start date for the remaining three weeks of the hearing will be confirmed on Friday.

 

Judge Baraitser delayed the May 18 hearing last week over her concerns that Assange and lawyers wouldn't be able to attend court in person due to the coronavirus lockdown.

 

She suggested July or August, but both prosecution and defence lawyers were busy during those months. Both parties support the delay until September.

 

Assange's father John Shipton is delighted about the delay, saying it will allow family and supporters from Australia to attend.

 

He's also optimistic Assange might not be behind bars for the whole four months.

 

"I'm hoping there will be a very strong and firm bail application," he told AAP.

 

"It appears his lawyers held the power in today's hearing and got the hearing dates they wanted, so it's a good sign."

 

Lawyers didn't attend Monday's hearing due to the lockdown.

 

Six journalists and six members of the public were in the courtroom. Journalists dialling in were accidentally left on mute and could only hear holding music for the entire hearing.

 

Assange's representatives confirmed he was "too unwell" to appear via videolink.

 

Judge Baraitser scheduled a callover hearing on June 1 if the Australian was well enough to attend via videolink.

 

The 48-year-old faces 17 charges of violating the US Espionage Act and one of conspiring to commit computer intrusion.

 

He's accused of publishing thousands of secret US diplomatic and military files, some of which revealed alleged war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

The charges carry a total of 175 years' imprisonment.

US, UK and Australia working together on COVID-19 vaccine

 

Donald Trump is "very confident" there will be a COVID-19 vaccine by the end of the year and says he would be happy Australia or another nation beats the US to the breakthrough.

 

The US president said American and Australian scientists were working together on a vaccine.

 

"I just want to get a vaccine that works," he told a televised Fox News virtual town hall meeting yesterday.

 

"I really don't care if it's another country.

 

"I'll take my hat off to them.

 

"We have to come up with a vaccine.

 

"We're working with other countries.

 

"We're working with Australia, we're working with the UK."

 

Mr Trump said it would usually take two to 10 years for a vaccine to be created but, after discussions with the heads of pharmaceutical companies, he expects a COVID-19 vaccine to be ready by the end of this year.

 

Work on the vaccine is "so far ahead of any vaccine ever in history", he said.

 

"We are very confident that we're going to have a vaccine at the end of the year - by the end of the year," Mr Trump said.

Trump says coronavirus comeback underway: People are ‘starting to feel good’

 

By Steven Nelson and Ebony Bowden - May 4, 2020

 

WASHINGTON — President Trump invited The Post into the Oval Office on Monday for an hour-long interview during which he declared “there’s a great optimism” in America and predicted a strong economic rebound from the coronavirus crisis during the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

Trump said he believes a national comeback from the coronavirus pandemic is underway and that Americans are beginning to “feel good.”

 

“I think they’re starting to feel good now. The country’s opening again. We saved millions of lives, I think,” said Trump, sitting behind the Resolute desk with a long list of accomplishments by his administration printed out in front of him.

 

The president predicted that the steep economic downturn will end soon as states allow businesses to reopen after COVID-19 infected nearly 1.2 million Americans, killed almost 70,000 and left 30 million unemployed — about 18 percent of all US workers.

 

“You have to be careful, but you have to get back to work,” Trump said. “People want the country open… I guess we have 38 states that are either opening or are very close.”

 

Trump, wearing a navy suit, blue tie, and with an American flag pin on his lapel, praised Florida’s first step Monday toward reopening businesses. “Florida is doing great,” he said, calling Republican Ron DeSantis “a good governor.”

 

“I think they’re starting to feel good now. The country’s opening again. We saved millions of lives, I think,” he said.

 

The president also foresaw a dramatic rise in economic indicators by the end of year.

 

“We’ll open it up and I think your fourth quarter is going to be very good,” he said.

 

“We did the right thing and now we’re bringing the country back. And I think there’s a great optimism. I don’t know if you see it, but I think there’s a great optimism now.”

 

Trump said he was optimistic that steps taken by his administration will tamp down COVID-19.

 

“Hopefully we can keep the plague, keep the virus at bay. If we have a flare up, we can put it out. We’ve learned a lot.”

 

But Trump dismissed a leaked Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projection of daily deaths nearly doubling over the next month as “fake news.”

 

Asked about The New York Times report, he said, “I know nothing about it. I don’t know anything about it. Nobody told me that. I think it’s — I think it’s false, I think it’s fake news.”

 

White House spokesman Judd Deere said Monday that the report — estimating 3,000 deaths per day by early June — had not been “presented to the coronavirus task force or gone through interagency vetting.”

 

The Times reported that CDC projection was “based on government modeling pulled together in chart form by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” The projection also forecast a surge in new daily infections.

 

Trump also contrasted the widespread shutdown of businesses with a “herd immunity” approach that he said could have killed more than 2 million people, according to early projections.

 

Trump said that if there was a silver lining in all the misery it is that Americans are now eager to return supply chains to the US, including the production of medicine from China.

 

“Now, the one thing that the pandemic has taught us is that I was right,” Trump said. “You know, I had people say, ‘No, no, it’s good. You keep — you do this and that.’ Now those people are really agreeing with me. And that includes medicine and other things, you know.”

Findings on George Pell Royal Commission to be released within days

 

A royal commission's findings about Cardinal George Pell's knowledge of historical child sexual abuse complaints will be released within days.

 

Federal Attorney-General Christian Porter says he has been advised that the two Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse reports can now be published in full.

 

Mr Porter said that would happen within days, although he would not give a specific release date.

 

"The advice is that it is now okay to publish the unredacted version," he told the ABC on Tuesday.

 

Mr Porter said he would read the reports and consider the final legal advice, but did not expect there to be any problem with the release of the documents.

 

"They've only just arrived with me now that that advice has been received, so it's just a matter of process from here and that will be a matter of days."

 

The reports into the Catholic Church's response to abuse complaints and allegations in the Melbourne archdiocese and Victoria's Ballarat diocese were released in December 2017.

 

Both had sections blacked out to avoid prejudicing any current or future prosecutions, including the child sexual abuse case against Cardinal Pell.

 

The former Vatican treasurer and Melbourne and Sydney archbishop was freed from jail on April 7 after the High Court overturned his convictions.

 

The royal commission's findings will not relate to abuse allegations against Cardinal Pell himself, but rather his knowledge of complaints against pedophile priests and Christian Brothers.

 

In 2016, Cardinal Pell told the royal commission he was deceived about pedophile priests in "a world of crimes and cover-ups" and did not know about the abuse.

 

Cardinal Pell was a Ballarat priest from 1973 until 1984, overseeing the diocese's schools and at times acting as an adviser to the bishop.

 

He also served as one of the Melbourne archbishop's advisers while an auxiliary bishop between 1987 and 1996.

US Marines get clearance for NT deployment amid coronavirus travel ban

 

The Australian Government has approved the deployment of US Marines to the Northern Territory this year after their original rotation was postponed in late March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Around 2,500 Marines were expected to arrive in Darwin in early April as part of an annual rotation to the Top End that has taken place since 2012.

 

But the risk of spreading COVID-19 into the Territory and its vulnerable remote Aboriginal communities was considered too great at the time.

 

Defence Minister Linda Reynolds today informed US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper the military contingent had now been given approval.

 

"I was pleased to inform Secretary Esper that after careful consideration, the Government has decided that a modified 2020 Marine Rotational Force - Darwin can proceed later this year, adhering to strict measures in place to protect against COVID-19," she said in a statement.

 

"The decision was based on Australia's record to date in managing the impacts from COVID-19, as well as strict adherence by deployed US Marines to the mandatory 14-day quarantine and other requirements."

 

The size and date of the deployment have yet to be determined, although the Marines usually stay in the Top End throughout the dry season.

 

There have been a total of 30 cases of coronavirus detected in the NT since the outbreak started, but only three remain active, including two Australian Defence Force personnel who recently returned from the Middle East.

 

NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner welcomed Ms Reynolds' announcement and said local businesses would get a "massive boost" by having the Marines in the Top End.

 

"That is exactly what we need right now," he said in a Facebook post.

 

He added: "We've also secured a number of guarantees to ensure the Territory remains the safest place in Australia."

 

His spokesman said these included health screening four days before they travel to Australia.

 

The US Marines were likely to undergo quarantine at Defence barracks in the Northern Territory, the spokesman said.

 

The ABC is seeking details about where US Marines would be treated if any were confirmed to have COVID-19.

 

Ms Reynolds said the annual rotation was important for the region.

 

"Hosting this key Alliance activity provides interoperability benefits as well as signals our firm joint commitment to regional security," she said.

 

The deployment of US Marines to Darwin was first announced in 2011 by the then US president Barack Obama and then Australian prime minister Julia Gillard.

Resignations in the news

 

Rugby Australia plunged into more turmoil after Peter Wiggs exit

 

Rugby Australia's boardroom dramas have amplified with Peter Wiggs tendering his resignation after a heated email exchange with interim chairman Paul McLean.

 

Touted as RA's next chairman, Wiggs had been pushing for the immediate installment of Australian Olympic Committee CEO Matt Carroll as departed chief executive Raelene Castle's replacement.

 

In an email exchange published by The Australian on Wednesday, McLean entertained Carroll's appointment.

 

However, citing a conflict of interest because of Wiggs' friendship with Carroll, McLean suggested Wiggs remain in a director role.

 

Instead he proposed incoming board member Hamish McLennan, a former Ten boss and News Corp senior executive, a more suitable chairman.

 

Fellow board members had also reportedly pushed back on the move that would have skipped any formal recruitment or interview process.

 

Supercars chairman Wiggs, credited for steering RA's player pay-cut deal during his brief RA posting, replied by saying what little regard he had for the board had "extinguished" and he would resign on Wednesday.

 

Confirming Wiggs had done just that, McLean said he "understood his reasons" for departing.

 

"He has undertaken some very important work and has made a valuable contribution to the organisation, in a very short time, and we are thankful for his contribution," McLean, who is also RA's acting chief executive, said.

 

"The immediate priority of the board is to install a replacement for Peter, and an interim chief executive."

 

It's another setback as the cash-strapped organisation navigates a way back to the field while trying to arrange a new broadcast deal.

 

It is hoped a domestic Super Rugby season could return in July, while a Bledisloe Cup series remains a prospect later this year.

 

But RA, awaiting rescue funds from World Rugby, faces a potential revenue hit of $120 million if no play is possible this year.

University of Adelaide insists mystery departures nothing to do with finances

 

The University of Adelaide says the unexplained departure of its two top leaders this week — chancellor Kevin Scarce and vice-chancellor Peter Rathjen — has nothing to do with its finances, and that it is not at risk of insolvency.

 

On Monday, Rear Admiral Scarce resigned as chancellor with immediate effect, cutting the former South Australian governor's term at the university short by six months.

 

Less than 24 hours later, Professor Rathjen took indefinite leave from the role of vice-chancellor.

 

The university has refused to provide any explanation for the two men stepping aside, but a spokesperson today said it had nothing to do with the financial position of the university.

 

"The recent announcements are not in any way related to the financial health of the university or the impacts of COVID-19," the spokesperson said.

 

"The university, like many institutions, is facing a budget shortfall due to COVID-19, but is in a sound financial position and is expecting a strong recovery after the pandemic has ended.

 

"There is no risk of the university becoming insolvent."

 

The spokesperson added that "there is no suggestion of financial impropriety".

 

The university's council met outside its normal meeting schedule on Monday, the day of Rear Admiral Scarce's resignation.

 

The spokesperson said there have been "a number of additional meetings throughout the COVID-19 situation", but did not directly respond when asked about the subject of the meeting.

 

Premier Steven Marshall said that he had not had any "update" from the university on what was going on — although he said he had spoken to its deputy chancellor, Catherine Branson.

 

"I have now spoken to the deputy chancellor and offered any support," he told reporters today.

 

The ABC has contacted Rear Admiral Scarce and Professor Rathjen for comment.

COVID-19 treatment news: How blood plasma could be used to treat future cases

 

Australians who have recovered from coronavirus will soon be able to donate their plasma to help create a new treatment for future patients.

 

Health Minister Greg Hunt said almost 6000 Australians have already recovered from COVID-19 and their blood and plasma could be used on a voluntary basis.

 

"This treatment has the potential to assist those who are facing extreme conditions," Mr Hunt said today.

 

"(It is for those) in ICU, those in advanced stage of the effects of COVID-19 - Australia is leading the world in research and treatment."

 

He said the trial is still in the early stages of development and it will depend on the Therapeutic Goods Administration on how big it can be.

 

"We think somewhere between 50 and 100 patients, so that we can demonstrate this product is safe to use in patients with COVID-19 and is effective in neutralising the virus," Mr Hunt said.

 

The trial will be overseen by researchers from blood products giant CSL, who have started development of the potentially life-saving COVID-19 treatment at its Melbourne-based Broadmeadows facility.

 

The project will rely on recovered coronavirus patients donating their plasma, which contains antibodies that fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

 

The company will firstly collect a small sample of plasma so it can detect, purify and concentrate these antibodies, to make what it calls 'COVID-19 Immunoglobulin'.

 

A second phase will involve a larger batch of COVID-19 Immunoglobulin being produced for clinical trials in Australian hospitals, to establish the safety of the product.

 

It's hoped the treatment will eventually be used on patients seriously ill with complications caused by coronavirus, particularly those who may need ventilation.

 

"This is a treatment, not a vaccine," CSL's Chief Medical Officer Dr Charmaine Gittleson told reporters today.

 

"The hope is that the COVID-19-specific antibodies combine to the virus and neutralise it, assisting that patient in recovery and preventing progression."

 

The company estimates about 800 plasma donations will be required to treat 50-100 critically ill patients in a clinical trial.

 

More than 5000 people have recovered from coronavirus in Australia

 

The Australian Red Cross Lifeblood will collect donations from May 11.

 

"We'll be talking to hospitals and health departments in order to recruit donors as well as looking to our existing donors to identify suitable participants," Lifeblood chief executive Shelly Park said in a statement.

 

"This work may ultimately help treat patients suffering from this terrible disease and I would urge anyone who has recovered from a confirmed case of COVID-19 who thinks they may be eligible to donate blood, to contact us."

 

Mr Hunt said CSL, and Australia more broadly, is leading the world in research and treatment of the deadly disease.

 

"We don't want to over-promise, but in particular this treatment has the potential to assist those people who are facing extreme conditions, ones who are in ICU, those who are in an advanced stage of the effects of COVID-19," Mr Hunt told reporters.

 

Trials using plasma as a treatment for patients suffering from COVID-19 are also underway in other countries including Canada, China, the UK and the US.

QUEENSLAND BAN ON COVID CURE DRUG

 

Doctors who prescribe an anti-malarial drug being trumpeted as a potential COVID-19 treatment face a $13,000 fine.

 

New prescription rules, brought into effect in Queensland on Tuesday, mean clinicians are banned from prescribing the drug, hydroxychloroquine, as a COVID-19 treatment.

 

Worldwide shortages were caused after US President Donald Trump tweeted about the drug’s potential last month.

'Your heart could stop': White House pushes untested coronavirus drug cure

Mr Trump spruiked the drug again at the weekend and urged Americans to take it despite a lack of strong evidence the medication is safe to use in COVID-19 patients.

 

The new law, introduced under public health powers granted to the state's top doctor, Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young, is also aimed at stopping pharmacies and GP clinics from stockpiling the medication.

 

Under the public health order, only some specialists are allowed to prescribe the drug and it must be for the ongoing treatment of a chronic disease or as part of a clinical trial.

 

The University of Queensland is on the verge of starting a large clinical trial, involving 60 hospitals across Australia, with hydroxychloroquine and another a HIV medication.
