Is the Abbott Government fascist? Tell Tale Signs

GRANDMOTHERS PROTEST INDEFINITE MANDATORY DETENTION AGAINST THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD: I'M WITH YOU IN SPIRIT!

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/feb/28/grandmothers-against-detention-of-refugee-children-rally-for-gillian-triggs

Australia is a UN signatory for the rights of all children.

In a forceful speech, the president of the Australian Human Rights Commission argued parliaments had failed to protect democratic rights and many politicians were “breathtakingly inconsistent” in supporting the rule of law.  

WARNING SIGNS OF TYRANNY - 'over-reaching executive powers'...

Divert from the evidence, attack personal, the really Honourable Gillian Triggs who ought to be like "Caesar's Wife"(Brandis).

1. Minister for Immigration Dutton would like all discretionary power to strip Australian Citizenship from 'suspected' terrorists/foreign fighters. (Unsure of humanitarian workers).http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-05-27/decision-to-revoke-citizenship-should-be-based-on-conviction/6499582

     2. Minister for the Arts George Brandis takes wads of dollars from peer reviewed arts funding via          The Australia Council - for his own little fiefdom of favoured artists and companies. Back to              Menzies way of doing things - political interference par la excellence.

    3. The Prime Minister appoints himself Minister for Women and Indigenous Affairs and is like an           absentee landlord - lots of things need fixing but it's not important enough.

DEFENDING DEFENSE - DENYING CLIMATE THREAT
The total cost of sending Australian troops to the most recent Iraq war was about $2.5 billion.

The total commitment to operations in Afghanistan was far more expensive, at $9.3 billion.
Women and children of Australia can suffer: We want to bomb the Muslims to pieces, even though it costs so much!

DOOMED TO REPEAT

Alerting us from Crikey media, is Senior reporter Bernard Keane - about signs of more military adventures. Thunderbirds are go, Tory Tony?http://www.crikey.com.au/2015/06/03/keane-australian-neocons-on-the-march-back-to-iraq/

Thousands of civilian lives have been lost, and new lives born deformed. Forget what you learn at school - Maslow's hierarchy of needs is destroyed by the Coalition invaders and their allies, corporate profiteers of war. Who wins any war?  http://costsofwar.org/article/growth-corporate-power-and-profiteering

You've gotta laugh or you'll cry. Don't listen to the radio so much - dismantle the ABC! Protect your mental health yourself.

Fascists love a starched ironed uniform - In post-WW1 MP Moseley from the West Midlands gathered a few London thugs together, coloquially called The Black Shirts. 

Today in Australia Prime Minister Abbott's crew share the pride in Liberal blue, but they are not Liberals

 - they are Conservative. 
Queensland Labor calls themTories.

Flying High to Amberley.

Who needs to wait in long lines of traffic on the highway for Amberley's Open Day - we don't!

As my husband and I cultivate the garden hearing the bird sounds of kookaburra, double-barred finches, rainbow lorikeets and willy wigtails our peace is shattered by protectors of home security: F1-11's, Super Hornets, Caribou...

Reminds me of a sunny morning with a potential boy-friend in my Elwood/St. Kilda days. I was only 19 and didn't understand why the sound of airforce craft overhead made his body freeze, terror on his face.

He told me it was because he had been in the Israeli army. It was beyond my comprehension, 35 years ago.

AND THE WARS ON MOTHER EARTH demand 'fight or flight' response). Airplanes fly over my house stirring me to write poetry, and play Donovan.

SO,

Is the Abbott Government fascist? | Tasmanian Times asked in 2014.  This May Day 2015 saw racist Nationalist men in Melbourne baying for a brawl against recent Muslim immigrants and refugees, encouraged by the rhetoric from Parliamentarians.

What about the Truth of daily horrendous abuses evidenced in the Human Rights report and others? No Conscience for breaking international law on torture, children's rights, refugees - only about same sex couples getting married!

Are The Greens now the only decent human beings who will shine the solar lights on the hill to alert injustice to our planet, our people, who would prevent the plight of human victims of persecution and wars?

The allegation that Wilson Security spied on Senator Sarah Hanson-Young is deeply troubling and must be investigated immediately by the AFP.

To spy on a Senator is obviously wrong on every level, including legally seeing as it's a serious offence to interfere in the duties of a Federal Parliamentarian

If this alleged spying on Senator Hanson-Young is the work of rogue Wilson employees then they should be sacked and legal proceedings initiated against them.

A Growing concern for me as a tight-rope walking member of the ALP is the bi-partisan slow waltz between the two "old" parties on so called National Security/border control/mandatory indefinite detention... 

Asylum seeker whistleblowers muzzled by harsh penalties, metadata access

MYRIAM ROBIN Crikey media reporter  in cases of legitimate whistleblowing in the public interest, the Law Council's submission stated, such a provision gave employees no protection: "The Law Council is concerned that the heightened secrecy provisions, as well as the broader powers to dismiss staff and contractors, may discourage legitimate whistle-blowers from speaking out publicly. To aid transparency, there should ... be a public interest disclosure exception to the secrecy provisions where the disclosure would, on balance, be in the public interest." This recommendation was championed by Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young in her speech against the bill. "The bill entrenches secrecy by making it a criminal offence, punishable by two years imprisonment, for Department of Immigration employees to disclose information," she said, noting that employees could be "summarily fired" for leaking, with no right to pursue unfair dismissal. Hanson-Young said: "This is an issue that is going to impact on 15,000 employees of the Department of Immigration. Those people deserve proper protections by this Parliament. Those people deserve to know that if there is something being done that is wrong, and which it is in the public interest to know, that the Senate has their backs. Those staff who we ask to go out onto the high seas to carry out these dangerous operations and to work in our detention centres to deal with the human misery of this policy, deserve to know that the Australian parliament has their backs. When there is a matter that is in breach of the law or in breach of government policy, or when there is a matter that is in breach of what is considered to be morally acceptable, those people deserve the opportunity to have a proper public interest test applied before they are simply thrown out on their ears." When Julian Assange Wikileaked footage of war-crimes by U.S.A. soldiers like gunning down civilians and children etc and the then Labor Government under Rudd and Gillard shunned the principles of his actions I was baffled.  Even my local branch of left-leaning union and social activists were against the whistle blowing Australian citizen. Fortunatley we have Independent Tasmanian MP former intelligence officer and whistle-blower against Howards foray into the Iraq invasion based on lies who will speak with integrity inn Parliament. With the Liberal backbenchers supporting an authoritarian approach to foreign fighters and populism a favourite political sport, how are we not stealthily stepping towards an Australian fascism? WHO'S GONNA SAVE US? THE LIVING END  http://winstonclose.me/2015/05/31/australian-democracy-at-a-tipping-point-written-by-paul-g-delitt-aim-network/  LEST WE FORGET First world's floral fields fertile with human waste Dictated, fucked up by well-paid diplomats,  Poweful politicians playing pre-Risk board games Then duty done, suffering by neglect except free School dinners to nourish next generation of soldiers. Down the road from Westminster angry men gather  Wearing black shirts, infamous new uniform, and In New South Wales, plenty of New Guards on the Harbour Making Humanist's disappear, leading to growing  Mussolini hybrids in clubs with cigars and whores. Hypnotised by Empire poppies, freed from Blood and bone soil.  Was it worth it? What about a series of Duels instead? Olympiad rules of war call, On Guard Hitler! By Christ, those big boats of Jews in May 1939 Were not part of the plot of Canberra or Cuba. Fleeing Nazi death camps trying to keep afloat, Left to wonder if they would starve to death Or survive as left-overs of another man's   Obsession to conquer and steal the crown jewels! The Hebrew race scape-goats again, such a  Cryptically damned fate. The Status Quo commemorates slaughters, the Honourable members lapel pins flag flawed Patriotism, turning back boats again - Too many fleeing victims. Censorship  is a means to a murderous end,  Out of sight out of minds - bodies are  Sacred if they belong to you, the War- Lords And P.M's whilst our cousins of the rest of The human race make voyages of the damned. Driven insane in tent towns we will forget them, Send Chaplains to schools in case kids see the News, to be assured in the trust of God and Country, rationalise hypocracy. (c)copyright 2015 JMcNeill
