It seems the reputation of the royal family has just taken another dive with allegations surfacing in a US court this week that Prince Andrew engaged in orgies with an underage sex slave.

The woman who can only be identified as “Jane Doe” alleges she was kept as a sex slave between 1999 and 2000 and forced to engage in relations with the prince at the behest of his friend Jeffrey Epstein – Epstein is a convicted pedophile.

Whilst Prince Andrew is entitled to his day in court I wonder whether this matter will be as ruthlessly pursued and investigated as Operation Yewtree in which for example Rolf Harris succumbed to convictions.

The Royal family have for many years been oblivious of the law of the land in their own England, with a long history of scandals and wrongdoing being hushed up, only to be later revealed years later by honest journalists.

 

 

Liberal/National governments have been making a big deal about people on the Disability Support Pension yet again recently. This became something of a regular feature of the last liberal government under John Coward. Every time the government did something wrong or looked foolish they started a blame campaign against those who could not defend themselves.

Whats interesting is the Abbott/Hockey government started off with ideas for savings in government spending that placed the blame squarely where it belonged: large corporations avoiding tax and so-called self funded retirees (read millionaires who pay no tax). This has been very quickly abandoned and we’re back to the same old blame game of old as the government runs out of ideas.

It seems that somehow sick people are just too damn sick and the current government feels the need to legislate to make them well again!

Now you’re out of luck if you’re trying to get onto the pension: In their arrogance they have decided that the regular treating doctor of a person is just not honest enough to assess their entitlement to the pension, now contracted government doctors will make these decisions.

This means of course that someone who is unwell has their illness assessed by someone who see’s them once for about 15 minutes and makes a major decision that affects their life. Apparently the GP who has been seeing the same person for years and has seen them through health and sickness is not to be trusted.

One wonders what incentive these contract doctors have for not allowing people onto the Disability Pension. I suspect a Doctor’s contract would somehow not be renewed at the end of the year if they allow too many people onto the DSP.

Picking on disabled pensioners is among the lowest of the low. What is truly stunning is how the press also panders to this blame campaign doing the governments work for it, seemingly happy to demonize those who can not fight back.

 

Let me begin by saying I’m not prepared to excuse Haron Moris’ actions in anyway. The man was a coward who took a shotgun to innocent civilians. A nasty, bigoted, violent man who terrorized pregnant women for seventeen hours and unnecessarily humiliated the rest of his hostages who were just going about their daily business.

But to call him a terrorist, even though he did wave Islamic flags around, is completely ridiculous. His “action” was completely disorganized and the outburst of a man with a diseased mind, who it seems was facing some fairly serious Goal time for dirty little crimes against women and complicity in his wife’s murder.

Of course there will sadly be a minority of troubled people in the Australian Islamic community who will see him as some kind of hero. This disturbing aspect of the Arabic mentality came to light during the second Iraq war: there is just as much respect to be earned from standing up to a significant enemy and being defeated as there is to defeating one.

However I would tend to believe that even these people can see the ridiculous and pathetic nature of the Martin Place siege. Taking hostages in a little suburban coffee shop with a shotgun from under the bed is hardly comparable to teams of organized Terrorists laying siege to an American Embassy with sub-machine guns!

Indeed this was more a case of “suicide by police” in which the perpetrator “uses” the police to take his life when he is too cowardly to do it himself.

This was just a small, angry little man who was eaten up by his selfish bigoted ideas. A sex offender and murderer trying to improve his self esteem by trying to make his last day on earth make him look like something he was not.

Haron was always something of a big mouth, grandstanding outside various showboat court appearances, trying to force his twisted interpretation of Islam onto everyone and just basically draw attention to himself.

A lot has been said of the police failing to provide him with an IS flag when asked, but this begs the question: if he was such a committed terrorist taking it to the state why did he not take one with him?! I think the answer lies in the fact that this was a completely random act and trying to get publicity for it as some type of Terrorist attack was just a distorted after thought.

The manager of Lindt Cafe who died trying to take the firearm off this crazy man is truly worthy of being called a hero; unlike those we are often encouraged to see as national hero’s – listen to Ray Hadley..if you believe him he resolved the whole siege and deserves a medal! Tori Johnson was a truly brave man who died a good death with all the honor Monis did not have.
