Australia Defies ‘Crazy Lefties’, Confirms Promise to Aid White Minority South African Farmers

Australia Defies ‘Crazy Lefties’, Confirms Promise to Aid White Minority South African Farmers:

Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has dismissed claims of racism over his plan to resettle South African white minority farmers in Australia, saying he ignores the confected outrage “from some of the crazy lefties at the Guardian and Huffington Post.”

Mr. Dutton faced a backlash after he first announced the farmers needed “special attention” because of the epidemic of violence engulfing them.

As Breitbart News reported, Mr. Dutton noted Australia has refugee, humanitarian and other visa programs which have the “potential to help some of these people”. He said he had asked his department to look at the options “because from what I have seen they do do need help from a civilised country like ours”.

Australia: ‘Racist to its core’: Outrage as nurses are subject to a new code where they must announce their ‘white privilege’ before treating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients

What?????

‘Racist to its core’: Outrage as nurses are subject to a new code where they must announce their ‘white privilege’ before treating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients:

  • Nurses and midwives forced to announce ‘white privilege’ to Aboriginal patients
  • New code asks medical staff to reveal their white upbringing before treatment 
  • It is to protect ‘cultural safety’ of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander people 
  • It has been slammed as ‘racist to its core’ and ‘nonsensical’ by those opposed

Australian nurses and midwives are being forced to announce their ‘white privilege’ before treating Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander patients –  a move which has been slammed as ‘racist to its core’.

The term ‘white privilege’ defines the unearned social and cultural advantages awarded to people with white skin which are not enjoyed by people of colour or non-white backgrounds.

The Nursing and Midwifery Board believes the cultural safety of Indigenous or Torres Strait Islander patients is just as important as their clinical safety.

Bishop rejects Dutton’s claim white South African farmers need visa help

All-out civil war is predicted for South Africa.

Bishop rejects Dutton’s claim white South African farmers need visa help:

Foreign minister says Australia’s humanitarian visa program will not change after South African government expressed outrage

Australia will be making no special visa considerations for white South African farmers, Julie Bishop said, as she refused to back Peter Dutton’s claim the group deserved “special treatment” over alleged persecution.

The foreign minister became the latest senior government figure to dismiss one of the home affairs minister’s policy ideas, which in recent months have included limiting Australia’s migration intake and labelling white South African farmers the “sorts of migrants that we want to bring into our country”.

Dutton has previously been made to walk back comments he made during his regular segment on Sydney radio 2GB. At other times his colleagues have swiftly dismissed his ideas.

ExxonMobil says it doesn’t expect to pay any Australian corporate tax until 2021

ExxonMobil says it doesn’t expect to pay any Australian corporate tax until 2021:

Amid questions at Senate inquiry over subsidiaries allegedly designed to avoid tax, unions call company a ‘very bad corporate citizen’

It was one of 732 corporations that paid no corporate tax in the 2015-16 financial year. In fact, the multinational giant has not recorded a taxable income or paid corporate tax in Australia for three years in a row, despite reporting revenue of $9.6bn in 2013-14, $8.5bn in 2014-15 and $6.7bn in 2015-16.

Australia: Welfare and pension crackdown will reap $2 billion over four years, says Coalition

Welfare and pension crackdown will reap $2bn over four years, says Coalition:

Scott Morrison says savings will offset announced extra spending over past few weeks and budget bottom line will be $1.1bn better over next four years

The Coalition has said it will collect an extra $2bn over the next four years by cracking down on welfare and pension recipients.

The treasurer, Scott Morrison, said the money saved in the crackdown would offset the extra $1.2bn in election spending it has announced over the past few weeks for things such as tennis courts, CCTV cameras and community grants – principally in Liberal and National electorates.

With another $300m in savings made elsewhere, it says the Coalition’s budget bottom line will therefore be $1.1bn better – over the next four years – than it was before the election campaign.

It says the welfare crackdown is an election promise.

Australia’s carp herpes plan dubbed ‘serious risk to global food security’

And what could possibly go wrong?

How stupid can they get?

*****

Australia’s carp herpes plan dubbed ‘serious risk to global food security’:

UK academics say introduction of herpes virus could also cause ‘catastrophic ecosystem crashes’ in Australia

Scientists in Britain have raised concerns about Australia’s $15m plan to release a herpes virus in the nation’s largest river system to eradicate carp, saying it poses a serious risk to global food security, could cause “catastrophic ecosystem crashes” in Australia, and is unlikely to control carp numbers long term.

In a letter published in the Nature Ecology and Evolution journal this week, University of East Anglia researchers Dr Jackie Lighten and Prof Cock van Oosterhout say the “irreversible high-risk proposal” could have “serious ecological, environmental, and economic ramifications.”

Australia: Plan to drug test welfare recipients in doubt after NXT vow to oppose it

Plan to drug test welfare recipients in doubt after NXT vow to oppose it:

Crossbenchers’ decision makes the bill’s passage through Senate difficult and puts the Coalition’s broader overhaul of the welfare system under a cloud

The Nick Xenophon Team will refuse to support the government’s plans to drug test welfare recipients, throwing a broader overhaul of the welfare system into doubt.

A spokeswoman for Rebekha Sharkie confirmed the NXT, which holds crucial crossbench votes in the Senate, will oppose the controversial drug-testing measure.

“At this point in time, NXT has reached the position of not supporting random drug testing,” she told Guardian Australia.

The government wants to drug test 5,000 welfare recipients at three trial locations; Logan in Queensland, Canterbury-Bankstown in south-western Sydney, and Mandurah in Western Australia.

Those who fail tests would first be placed on income management, then referred for drug treatment, and finally stripped of income support, should they choose not to engage.

Huge victory for natural medicine in Australia as nation rejects pharma-engineered attempt to outlaw nearly all herbs

Huge victory for natural medicine in Australia as nation rejects pharma-engineered attempt to outlaw nearly all herbs:

Australia is one of the most oppressive medical police state regimes in the world. The medical tyranny in Australia has even led to the government denying entitlement checks to parents who refuse to have their children subjected to an endless battery of dangerous vaccine injections. Deranged pharma trolls in Australia have been pushing hard to outlaw herbal medicine and force all the citizens of Australia to use toxic, overpriced chemical prescription medications to treat everything.

Jon Rappoport from NoMoreFakeNews.com cites Crazz Files, reporting that the Australian government has rejected the pharma-funded attempt to outlaw natural medicine, reaffirming the efficacy of traditional remedies. This is a surprising and important win for health freedom in Australia, and it reveals that even the “Greens” party in Australia has someone become anti-natural medicine.

Here’s the story from Rappoport (original source link):

Shocking victory for proponents of alternative medicine

by Jon Rappoport

March 8, 2018

Breaking: In Australia, an effort to label all alternative (traditional, complementary) medicine products as “based on pseudoscience” has failed.

Traditional remedies (much older than mainstream medicines) are defended as appropriate, and can include health claims.

Teenager smiles in selfie with best friend hours before strangling her with her belt:

THIS is the selfie that police used to convict a woman of killing her best friend, because of one small detail.

POLICE used a selfie to help convict a killer who strangled her best friend — because the photo shows the belt she used to throttle her.

Cheyenne Rose Antoine, 21, was this week jailed for seven years after 18-year-old Brittney Gargol’s body was found dumped at the side of a road in Saskatchewan, Canada, reports The Sun.

Police say a picture of the pair posted hours before the teenager’s death became a key piece of evidence after it showed Antoine wearing a belt police believed to be the murder weapon, according to CBC News.

FYI.

Pet owners urged to immunise their dogs against a new deadly and ‘insidious’ disease wiping animals out across Australia:

A deadly dog disease which has been described as ‘insidious’ in nature is rapidly spreading across Australia.

Animal experts at the University of Queensland have warned pet owners to have their dog treated immediately if it exhibits symptoms as the virus expands through the state.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘It becomes worse after it gets dark’: Inside the Melbourne suburb terrorised by African youth gangs – where residents dread the day police leave

EXCLUSIVE: ‘It becomes worse after it gets dark’: Inside the Melbourne suburb terrorised by African youth gangs – where residents dread the day police leave:

  • Tarneit, about 25km west of Melbourne, has been under siege by African teens
  • The local Ecoville Community Park has been trashed and become a no-go zone
  • Families say they are scared of gangs of youths drinking and taking over streets
  • Police have increased their presence with regular high-visibility patrols
  • Parents are concerned the youths will return when the police presence drops 

Fearful residents have described what it is like to live in a Melbourne suburb plagued by gangs of African youths blamed for destroying a community centre and running amok.

Tarneit, about 25 kilometres west of Melbourne, is named after the local indigenous Wathaurong word for white.

First used for agricultural grazing in the 1830s, large-scale subdivision began only in the 1990s.

Families such as the Bukas, who left the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa for a better life in Australia, have instead been besieged by youth gangs from their home continent’s north.
