Daughter not guilty of murder

The Courier-Mail
February 17, 2010 10:26am
BREAKING NEWS: A JURY has found Kaihana Hussain, 20, not guilty of murdering her mother and trying to kill her father.
Hussain, 20, had pleaded not guilty to murdering Shaheda Yasmeen Hussain, 41, and attempting to murder her father, Muhammad Hussain, now 53, on October 9, 2006.
She had also pleaded not guilty to an alternate charge of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm to Muhammad Hussain.
The prosecution alleged Kaihana Hussain attacked her parents to gain more freedom so she could convert from Islam to Christianity and move to Sydney to be with her boyfriend.
"Under cross-examination by defence lawyer Dennis Lynch, Mr Hussain said he was "very angry" his daughter planned to convert from Islam to Christianity and disapproved of her relationship with university student Benjamin Miles Thomas Brady," reports AAP.
Shaheda Hussain died at the scene of the attack at the family's Gold Coast unit but Muhammad Hussain was saved after operations on a severe stomach stab wound.
Hussain sobbed in the dock as she waited for the jury to enter the court room.
During the trial, the jury heard Hussain told police she saw her father use a knife to stab his wife twice at the family's rented apartment in Southport, on the Gold Coast.
In the interview, Hussain told police she had taken her father into the bedroom and blindfolded him so she could give him a ``surprise'' gift she brought back from a trip to Bangladesh.
She said while she was looking for the present in another room she could hear her parents arguing.
Her father was talking ``quite aggressively'', she said.
``The next thing I knew, and this happened within like a split second, my dad had the knife in his hand and he stabbed my mum,'' the court heard that she'd told police.
She said when her father came after her he bore a stab wound.
But Dr Hussain denied, under defence questioning, being the one who carried out the attack.
Penalties are harsh, Muslim elders say

SYDNEY Muslims are ''angry and frustrated'' at the severity of the sentences meted out to five men convicted of terrorism offences, say community elders who worry that the strict penalties will serve to radicalise more young Islamic men.
“Moderate Islamic Community Leader” Ikebal Patel
''The penalties, while they are warranted, they seem really harsh,'' said the president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, Ikebal Patel. ''There is a real possibility that this might alienate some members of the Muslim community … there's a lot of frustration and anger.''
On Monday Justice Anthony Whealy of the Supreme Court sentenced the five men from Sydney's west to jail terms of up to to 28 years.
Justice Whealy admitted there was insufficient evidence the men intended to kill, comments seized upon by Keysar Trad, chairman of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia.
''Even if they had talked about things like this,'' Mr Trad said, ''it is very likely that there would have been a very large number of points along the way where they would have reconsidered because they didn't want to kill anybody.''
Mr Trad added: ''It seems our standard has changed from proving a crime beyond reasonable doubt to the possibility that they might have intended to commit a crime.''
But what of the stockpile of weapons, ammunition and potential explosives?
''That doesn't translate into a wilful intent to commit an act of terrorism,'' he said.
Sheikh Khalil Chami of the Islamic Welfare Centre in Lakemba regularly visited the convicted terrorist conspirators, who range in age from 25 to 44, in jail. He is certain they were radicalised in Sydney.

Family members of five Sydney jailed for plotting terrorist attack criticise length of sentences
Doug Conway
Daily Telegraph
February 15, 2010
FAMILY members have criticised the sentences handed out in Sydney's terrorism trial, saying murderers get less.
"That's a very big sentence," said the sister of the youngest of five Muslim men sentenced to maximum terms of between 23 and 28 years.
"Not even murderers get sentenced that much.
"Twenty-three years, that's half of his life," she said of the sentence imposed on her 25-year-old brother.
"It's not fair to him, our community or our religion."
Relatives of some of the other men yelled out expletives as they heard the sentences via closed-circuit TV outside the court room at Parramatta.
One woman began sobbing as two men shouted "f#^<" and left the building.
The sister, who said she attended every day of the 10-month trial, said she believed her brother was innocent.
"He was not planning any mass murder or terrorist attack," she said.
"He is no extremist; the only extremists are people like ASIO, they go way deep."
She said the jail sentences would only serve to strengthen the faith of the convicted men.
They would not cause a divide between Muslims and non-Muslims in the Australian community, or incite any other Muslims to take extremist action.
She read out a poem dedicated to her brother that said in part: "They handcuffed your spirit, they stole your freedom, they locked you up for a crime you didn't commit, they locked you up because you fit the script."
She said her brother would have "the last laugh" because the truth would come out before God on judgment day.
Mothers-to-be turned away from hospital
By Sharon Labi
The Sunday Telegraph
February 14, 2010
PUBLIC hospitals are turning away pregnant women because their maternity wards are full. Some big Sydney hospitals have introduced caps, limiting the number of bookings they will take from women with low-risk pregnancies.
Changes to the Medicare safety net that will exclude private obstetrics fees are expected to exacerbate the demand for beds, driven by the baby boom of recent years.
Obstetricians have been telling patients they have no hope of getting into some facilities such as Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPA), the busiest maternity unit in the State.
A Sydney South West Area Health Service spokeswoman said there had been a 40 per cent rise in the number of births at RPA between 2000 and 2005.
"To ensure the safety of all women and their babies, RPA gives priority to women with high-risk pregnancies and has introduced a cap on low-risk pregnancies," she said.
The Royal Hospital for Women, at Randwick, would take high-risk referrals from out-of-area women, but those with low-risk pregnancies who did not live in the area would be referred to their local hospital when the Royal did not have capacity, maternity services co-director Dr Daniel Challis said.
Australian Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott
Westmead Hospital has also introduced caps for women who live outside the area.
Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists president Ted Weaver said public hospitals would have to cope with an extra 26,000 births this year as a result of the Medicare changes.
Obstetricians report a five to 10 per cent drop in demand since the changes took effect on January 1, but say the full impact will be felt in six months.
They fear that excluding private obstetrics from the safety net and limiting rebates to $463 a year will result in poorer outcomes for women.
"If hospitals are on bypass, the women will have to go somewhere else," Dr Weaver said last week.
"Every part of the system will be under strain."
Australian Medical Association president and gynaecologist Dr Andrew Pesce said women needed to book in early.
"Unless you book really early, you get fewer choices of the hospitals you can go to in the public system," Dr Pesce said.
"Eventually, if you leave it too late, there's only one you can go to - and that's in the area where you live."
Health Minister Nicola Roxon's spokeswoman said women concerned about fees should question their specialists.
"Where there was evidence that some specialists were taking advantage of the taxpayer-funded Medicare safety net to massively increase their fees, the Government moved to cap those costs," she said.
Until December 31 last year, women could claim 80 per cent of out-of-pocket obstetrics fees after reaching the safety- net threshold.
Debora Feijo, 36 weeks pregnant, plans to give birth at Royal North Shore because of the cost of a private obstetrician.
"We'd like to have a third child, but these Medicare changes will make it even more expensive," Ms Feijo said.
Have you been turned away from a public hospital?
COSTLY CHANGE
Until December 31, 2009: Able to claim 80 per cent of fees after reaching $1126 in out-of-pocket medical expenses
From January 1, 2010: Medicare rebates for obstetrics capped at $463
Private obstetricians report 5-10 per cent drop in business so far this year

Hey this Muslim immigration and Multiculturalism is simply fantastic ay?
No further evidence is needed to prove the treachery of the Australian lefts “Multiculturalism” and now the Rudd Labor Government’s “open borders” come one come all, substitute for border security.
A military strategy developed by the left fifth column in Australia some 30 years ago during the radical left wing Labor Government of E.G. Whitlam, Gough Whitlam, under this lunatic and his Communist Deputy PM Jim Cairns Australia was brought to the brink of economic and national security destruction.
The Australian Labor Party and their financiers the Australian Council of Trade Union’s (ACTU) mantra of all Cultures,Religions,beliefs are equal, now enters it 30th plus year of refutation and abject failure in Australia.
Australia has never been more divided and has never been a more dangerous place to live in, than it is these last 15 or 20 years,
Thanks Australian Labor Party,thanks ACTU.
Hands up any Australians who would like more illegal immigrants or more Muslim immigrants ? or more third world African immigrants setting up their own territories on Australian soil?
Toxic batts claim ups pressure on Garrett
ABC
13 2 2010
The Opposition has ramped up calls for Peter Garrett to resign as Environment Minister, after he said he was warned imported insulation batts may contain dangerous levels of toxic chemicals.
Mr Garrett has been under fire in Parliament all week over the safety of the Federal Government's insulation program, with the Opposition saying he repeatedly ignored safety warnings about problems that led to the deaths of four insulation installers.
Now Mr Garrett has confirmed that an industry leader warned him cheap imported insulation reeked of formaldehyde and could generate toxic fumes when heated.
Warrick Batt says says he has had several meetings with Mr Garrett over the last six months and also raised concerns about whether the batts were being installed to Australian standards.
Mr Garrett says he has not seen any proof to back up claims that dangerous levels of chemicals were present in the insulation batts.
"We know that formaldehyde is used as a binding agent, but all batts have to conform to Australian standards and if products that conform to those standards and have the appropriate warnings then they're acceptable to go into ceilings," he said.
Opposition Environment spokesman Greg Hunt says he should be sacked.
"It's about standing up for the Australian people on the basis of safety," he said.
Mr Hunt says it should not be left to the insulation industry to produce the proof.
"Mr Garrett's program created the problem, created the need for importing Chinese batts and we know that there are potentially deadly Chinese batts," he said.
"Of course the Government should oversee its program.
"To blame the industry, to blame the installers and not to take responsibility is simple negligence and the Minister now, surely, must go."
Opposition leader Tony Abbott says the matter calls into question Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's competency.
"Someone has to take responsibility for the very, very serious maladministration of this program," he said.
"But every day Mr Rudd protects this incompetent Minister, his own Prime Ministership is called more into question."
Mr Garrett says he has Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's full support.
$10m of taxpayers money to try terrorists
By Alison Rehn, Political Reporter
The Daily Telegraph
February 09, 2010 12:00AM
TAXPAYERS paid out more than $10 million on legal aid for a group of nine Sydney terrorists, the Government revealed yesterday.
Attorney-General Robert McClelland pointed to the extraordinary circumstances of the case: it took 11 months, with more than 3000 exhibits tendered and 300 witnesses.
But the Opposition condemned the spending, and said "thousands" of Australians were denied any legal assistance - let alone one million dollars. At a parliamentary committee hearing, the Government revealed the accused terrorists were given $10.1 million in legal aid.
Five of the accused were found guilty of conspiring to commit an act in preparation for a terrorist attack, while four pleaded guilty to lesser terrorism-related charges before the trial. Liberal Senator Guy Barnett, who uncovered the legal bill, questioned the Government's priorities.
"Most Australians would be shocked to realise that over $10 million in taxpayers' funds has been spent defending the rights of those convicted of terrorist offences," he said. "That's over $1 million defending the rights of each terrorist.
"What about the thousands of Australians around the country who [are refused] legal aid to assist in a family law matter, for example ... I wonder how they feel?"
Mr McClelland's department said the expenses had been met from the Expensive Commonwealth Criminal Cases Fund. The department described the fund as dedicated to Commonwealth criminal law cases and said it did "not impact on the level of Commonwealth funding available for other Commonwealth law matters".
A spokesman for Mr McClelland defended the $10 million legal aid bill.
Trials could be at risk "and justice could not be done" if an accused in a serious criminal trial had no proper legal representation.
Any decisions regarding individual grants of aid were matters for each legal aid commission and Mr McClelland did not intervene in the process, the spokesman added. Legal Aid NSW chief executive of Alan Kirkland said confidentiality provisions meant he could not detail why the case required so much legal aid funding. But he said the cost in any trial was based on the "length and complexity of the matter".
The terror arrests followed a series of raids in Sydney's southwest on November 8, 2005.

Garrett knew of foil risks: electricians
SMH
February 11, 2010
Electricians formally warned the federal government in October 2009 that metal roof insulation could cause electrocutions.
But it took two deaths - and more than three months - for Environment Minister Peter Garrett to ban it.
The government has ordered an urgent safety review of almost 50,000 homes under its bungled $3.7 billion roof insulation scheme.
Mr Garrett, who is facing calls for his resignation, has revealed to Parliament that he knew of the risks.
He met the Master Electricians Australia in October 2009, after one installer had died fitting the metal insulation.
"Master Electricians were very concerned in general terms that metal fasteners and foil insulation posed an unacceptable safety electrocution risk," Mr Garrett said in a ministerial statement today.
Master Electricians told him that "electrical problems could emerge at the time of installation or even up to several months after the work was done".
Mr Garrett decided then not to ban the foil insulation.
Two more installers died while fitting the foil insulation after that decision.
This week Mr Garrett banned the foil insulation.
It has also become apparent that the government began to roll out its rebate scheme without training requirements in place for installers.
As well as the risk of electrocution, some homes have caught fire after being poorly fitted with insulation under the program.
The first homes were insulated under the program in February 2009. But mandatory training for installers comes into effect on Friday, almost one year later.
Mr Garrett said there was a proposal, put forward in February 2009, for mandatory training of installers.
In a meeting in April 2009, experts told the government at a meeting "that insulation work could result in a high level of hazard in existing buildings ... with a likelihood of death or injury if risks were not managed".
Mr Garrett defended his handling of the insulation rebate program.
"Providing timely and comprehensive responses to the issues that are raised by the industry has been a feature of the delivery of this program," he said.

Garrett’s home insulation failings prove deadly
Tony Abbott
Daily Telegraph
Thursday, February 11, 2010
It’s all very well for the Rudd Government to subsidise home insulation but it shouldn’t do so in ways which put lives at risk. Blog live with Tony on Friday
Four people have died while installing insulation under the Government’s stimulus package. Nearly 40,000 houses with foil insulation are now being audited with experts saying that up to 1000 homes could have electrified roofs. Although Environment Minister Peter Garrett can’t say how quickly these checks can be carried out, it seems that the Prime Minister is defending his competence and his administration of the portfolio.
Industry experts warned Mr Garrett last March about the “inherent dangers” in the execution of the Government’s programme but it seems that he took no serious action until after the first death in November.
The ABC has reported that a meeting of Commonwealth and state officials last April warned of the risk to property and life from the massive expansion of an unregulated industry. A succession of public warnings from May last year should have alerted the minister and the government to the safety issues associated with untrained people installing insulation in hundreds of thousands of houses.
The Government does not appear to have taken these warnings seriously. Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner even seemed to make light of these risks under questioning when he said that spending the stimulus money was too important for people to expect all the “i"s to be dotted and the “t"s crossed.
People should not have to die before the responsible minister takes action to ensure safe systems of work are in place. If Government ministers were company directors, I suspect that there would be calls for them to be prosecuted for industrial manslaughter.
The Coalition has called on Mr Garrett to give a full account to the parliament of the warnings he received and what he did about them.
His failure to do so suggests that no satisfactory response is possible. Prime Minister Rudd needs to ensure that his minister’s actions were appropriate under the circumstances or become complicit in a programme which has not just been incompetent but deadly.
Abbott went on to say in Parliament today that any Company Director responsible for the deaths of Four people would be charged with manslaughter
Man attacked by shark at Mona Vale
Clementine Cuneo
The Daily Telegraph
February 11, 2010
A MAN surfing with his son has been attacked by a shark who tried to drag him from some rocks at Mona Vale this morning.
The man was bitten on the leg during his morning surf just after 8am and still has at least one tooth embedded under his skin.
The 46-year-old man, Paul Welsh was surfing with his 10-year-old son, close to shore, when the 2m shark attacked him in shallow waters.
He sustained deep lacerations to his legs. He has one, possibly two shark’s teeth still in his leg.
“I was pushing my son on to waves and it just belted me from behind,’’ Mr Welsh said.
“I grabbed on to the pinnacle of a rock and held on as it tried to drag me out.... and I won.’’
Witness Surf Watch's Michael Brown who was also swimming with his son described the attack as horrifying and “surreal”.
“I saw thrashing in the water, and the shark’s tail sticking out and then I saw the guy holding onto a rock,” Mr Brown said.
“The shark was still latched onto his leg and trying to drag him off it.”
Mr Brown said if the surfer had not been so close to the rocks, the attack could have been a lot worse or even fatal.
“This thing (the shark) has just come from underneath and latched on…he was just lucky to be near the rocks so he could hold on for dear life,” Mr Brown said.
As the shark let go, Mr Brown said the surfer scarpered onto the rocks, where witnesses helped him and wrapped his wound.
The man’s wife rushed him to hospital for treatment.
Mr Brown said the shark was about 2 metres long and he believed it was a juvenile Great White.
“The way he was hit, I’m pretty sure it was a Great White,” he said.
Mad mullahs believe bad science is gospel

Sunday Telegraph
Wednesday, February 03, 2010
GLOBAL warming believer Kevin Rudd has adopted the strategies of radical ayatollahs to push his agenda for a huge new tax on Australians and a global wealth redistribution scheme.
Lu Kewan ,Beijing’s man on the ground in Australia,Australian PM, Dear Leader and Junk Science Climatologist in Chief, Kevin “I have never been a Socialist” 07 Rudd.
Like the mad mullahs of the Middle East, Prime Minister Rudd and his leading disciple, Climate Change Minister Penny Wong, are attempting to scare the Australian public into their new belief system with dire threats of catastrophic repercussions should they fail to fall into line.
Madame Wong, Rudd Government’s Dear Minister for Climate Change and Water
On Tuesday, both Rudd and Wong cast their arguments in religious terms while talking of the need to believe in anthropogenic global warming. Similar warmist rhetoric spouted at the failed Copenhagen conference in December failed to woo the globe’s leaders.
Rudd, in particular, still claims the Great Barrier Reef is all but dead though research shows the reef is not showing any signs of imminent mortality through global warming or any other threat.
Rudd’s Great Barrier Reef HOAX exposed AGAIN
The ALP’s stolid defence of the all-but-forgotten Copenhagen conference and the UN’s chief climate change body, the IPCC, is becoming the laughing stock of the developed world. While legitimate doubts over the IPCC grow elsewhere, the troubled organisation is still highly regarded in Ruddville.
Apart from the vested interests of the international banking fraternity the carbon trading system is regarded as a con, as shown by the collapsing price of carbon worldwide.
That the ALP would align itself with climate shonks in its efforts to maintain its increasingly threadbare arguments is degrading to a political party which once purported to represent the average working families of Australia.
Even the Guardian newspaper, the stalwart defender of British Labour values, has begun to move away from the principal architects of the IPCC’s “scientific” claims for AGW, noting in a series of articles that a key study by the University of East Anglia’s Professor Phil Jones was based on suspect figures purportedly from weather stations in China that were not only seriously flawed but cannot now be located.
Neither can the thousands of emails and documents related to them.
The Guardian says its investigation calls into question Jones’ integrity, after revealing suggestions that he helped cover up flaws in Chinese temperature data underpinning his research.
The Chinese data, said the Guardian, cannot be verified because documents no longer exist and what data is available suggests the findings are flawed.
Wong’s defence of Labor’s emissions trading system relies almost entirely on accounts of recent global warming - though nowhere has she mentioned that Europe and North America have just endured a record-breaking deep freeze.
Just as Rudd does, Wong has tried to confuse the public by citing weather events as if they were evidence of climate change to distract attention from the plethora of scientific reports which find there have been no extreme weather events attributable to climate change, human-induced or naturally occurring, in the past century.
The Guardian still wants to believe in AGW and says the “inadequacies” of the IPCC do not undermine the case, “but they do call into question the probity of some climate change science”.
The claim by Rudd and Wong that the “science is settled” is shot down by the newspaper’s investigation.
For over a year they have been hiding behind scientists who we now know have refused to present the data upon which they based their most extravagant claims of human-induced global warming, data which in some cases has either been manipulated or didn’t exist.
In the UK, a court ruled on Tuesday that climate change beliefs should be afforded the same legal protections as religious freedoms. Mr Justice Michael Burton decided that: “A belief in man-made climate change, and the alleged resulting moral imperatives, is capable if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations.”
Under those regulations it is unlawful to discriminate against a person on the grounds of religious or philosophical beliefs. Rudd and Wong are relying on that hokey old time religious fervor for their apocalyptic pronouncements and they are urging their followers to drink the same Kool-Aid and believe as fervently as they do - despite the growing avalanche of evidence - as they struggle to keep their flawed belief system together long enough for Labor to inflict its huge new tax on Australians.
With the science behind the IPCC’s reports falling away, the ALP’s religious basis for its new tax system must be thoroughly investigated before it is locked in place.
Simply calling those who have dared question the new religion “deniers” is intellectually on a par with the foam-flecked ayatollahs who routinely berate the “unbelievers” and call for fatwahs on apostates.
It is a dismal day for science and the nation when the Prime Minister has to resort to medieval oratorical tricks and religious scare-mongering instead of rational debate and fact-based reasoning to carry a political argument.

Indonesia to remove Obama statue
Daily Telegraph
February 05, 2010 8:32PM
A STATUE of US President Barack Obama as a boy will be removed from a park in the Indonesian capital due to public opposition, just weeks before Obama visits his old hometown.
Islam’s Boy Messiah / Prophet,in Bronze,at peace and as one with nature and all who worship his image,seen here in Menteng Park.
The Jakarta governor's office confirmed that the two-metre bronze would be removed from Menteng Park and placed at the nearby Menteng One primary school where Mr Obama spent part of his childhood in the late 1960s.
The decision comes after 56,500 people joined a page on social networking website Facebook calling for the statue to be removed and replaced by a memorial to an Indonesian identity.
"The Jakarta administration has decided to remove the Obama statue from Menteng Park and take it to his former school,'' city spokesman Cucu Ahmad Kurnia said.
"We follow the aspirations of the people, who think that the removal of the statue to his former school is more appropriate.''
He said a new site for the statue has not been chosen but it would be somewhere "near the school gate so the public can still view it''.
"We'll remove it as soon as possible, hopefully before Mr Obama's visit to Jakarta,'' the spokesman said.
The statue of "Little Barry'' - as Mr Obama was known to his Indonesian school friends - was designed by Indonesian artists and depicts the boy Obama dressed in shorts and a T-shirt with a butterfly perched on his hand.
Mr Obama, who was born in Hawaii, lived for four years as a child in Jakarta from 1967 after his divorced mother married an Indonesian.
“We're a couple of swells
We stop at the best hotels….”
How long before Beijing’s man on the ground in Australia, Australia’s very own “Dear Leader” Australian PM Lu Kewan aka. Kevin 07 “I have never been a Socialist” Rudd, will commission some nauseating statue or portrait of Hussein Obama,perhaps painted by his grubby little nephew Van Thanh Rudd,as way of proving to the world his total commitment to the Islamic and International Socialism cause.
Yesterday, we told you about the South Australian government’s attempts at internet censorship.
Lu Kewan aka. Beijing’s man in Australia,Australian PM Kevin “I have never been a socialist” Rudd
Today, we can reveal that online political speech has been dealt another blow with Facebook, the popular social networking site, being accused of political censorship after it removed the group “KEVIN RUDD = EPIC FAIL”.
Before it was removed the Facebook group is understood to have had over 3000 members and focused on building a list what it described as Kevin Rudd’s broken promises.
Whether or not you agree with the argument of the group, surely in a democracy the creators have the right to express their views and people have a right to join and support that group.
The group is believed to have been banned because it criticised an individual, the Prime Minister.
However, based on Facebook’s terms of reference you would expect a group would only be banned if its views were overtly racist or defamatory.
In the case of the Prime Minister you would have to say he has been accused of worse things than being an “epic failure”.
Facebook has previously removed or banned controversial groups which were viewed as containing racist or Anti-Semitic views.
It has also intervened at the request of law enforcement agencies such as when arson vigilante groups appeared in the wake of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires.
Typically, a Facebook group will be banned following the logging of a complaint directly to Facebook.
The Prime Minister’s office has confirmed to The Punch that it did not lodge a complaint against the Facebook group.
The decision to ban the political group because they were critical of a politician represents a concerning development, online civil liberties group Electronic Frontiers Australia told The Punch.
Electronic Frontiers Australia argue that such disputes over political Facebook groups show that there is a growing fight for political freedom in Australia.
EFA Spokesperson, Geordie Guy said the online environment is currently caught in a battle “between people [who are] online and people who would prefer those people didn’t give their opinions”.
The Facebook controversy comes only a day after the South Australian government backed down on controversial new laws requiring people to provide their name and postcode before posting comments online on news website such as AdelaideNow.
The South Australian laws came only months out from the South Australian State Election and critics argued that the measure would severely limit free speech.
Facebook’s policy on political group at remains unclear as the website has not taken action again other Australian political groups such as “Kevin Rudd is a Communist” and “Tony Abbott is a tosser”.
At the time of posting, Facebook has not responded to a request for comment.

A friend of mine works in Rudd’s Office and tells me the man is paranoid about criticism. She also hintedthat Punch has been misled. Rudd’s office orchestrated the Facebook removal of this page.

An interesting suggestion DG says:02:37pm | 04/02/10, however you forget that Rudd, through his ill-conceived new net filter, can decide which sites appear in Australian searches. Perhaps he has more power over Facebook than you imagine. “

The cosy relationship between the Nazi’s and Islam’s leaders during WW2 is well known,Muslims were then and are to this day, still aligned with the Nazi ideology it’s a love affair that has withstood the the last 65 years with Islam carrying the torch for their long dead and latest “Prophet” Adolf Hitler under the cover of been a “Religion” as opposed to their previous persona,the Nazi Party,The National Socialist German Workers' Party.
The lid has just been blown off yet another Islamic, Hitler / Nazi enterprise.
“November 28, 1941, The Mufti meets with Hitler in Berlin, this was reported by the

• November 28, 1941, Hitler had a long conversation with the Mufti of Jerusalem. Hitler explained, the countries of Europe were being emptied of Jews one by one; at the

A great day for all Australians,celebrating 220 years of Civilization.
The Day however was marred by the usual “Conga Line of Socialist Suck Holes” and professional “Aboriginie’s” and Professional Multiculturalist’s spewing their hate filled bile denouncing Australia and it’s people,including Rudd’s “Australian (Hater) of the Year”, Professor somebody or other,who could not refrain from enunciating his social / political objectives.
Whilst Australia’s Dear Leader,Comrade Rudd went through the motions of saying what he thought Australians wanted to hear his Brothers Son was doing the hard yards for the Australian Labor Party down in Melbourne,denouncing Australia as a Racist Nation primarilary because of recent attacks upon Indian Nationals in Melbourne,….. what a dumb shit Van Thanh Rudd is, or are he and his Uncle,Dear Leader, Comrade Rudd aka. Lu Kewan just not that good at timing their political stunts?
Like Van Thanh Rudd’s copy and paste “artistry” his and his Uncle’s Holy Grail, Multiculturalism, “only Australians are racists” exploded in their face today as Multiculturalism’s DEAD ROTTING CORPSE was yet again Dragged out and Gutted in front of Australian’s, exposed as Labor’s and their main stream media apologists Hoax, that it has always been,Colinization by Stealth, Labor’s hatred of Australia and Australian’s can be best utilized via their Multicultural Policies,”Anyone but an Australian”
Comrade Rudd’s Grubby little Nephew’s YouTube site
“Victorian Police have arrested 8 ASIANS for the BASHING of two Indian Students”
So who are the Racist’s here? the Indian citizen victims or their Asian assailants?
Forgive me for asking, I am only an Australian, and as every Politically correct Multiculturalist can tell you, I am by definition of the Kevin 07 “I have never been a socialist” Rudd Labor Socialist Labor Government,A racist, and as such am not entitled to a voice in Australia.
Blind man in coma after his guide dog attacked
Lucie van den Berg
From: Herald Sun
January 27, 2010 1:44AM
A BLIND man was critically injured when an unprovoked attack on his guide dog caused him to plunge off a pier.
David Correa lost his balance and fell into the water at Vuictoria's Hastings pier after an uncontrolled dog lunged at his guide dog.
His distraught wife, Flavia, said he was in an induced coma at The Alfred Hospital after suffering broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a fractured spine. The 34-year-old recently had both kidney and pancreatic surgery.
Mr Correa and his friend John Quilligan were out walking with their guide dogs in Hastings on January 20 when they encountered another dog on the pier. Mr Quilligan said the owner grabbed the dog around the neck and pulled it back away from Kel, Mr Correa's guide dog.
"David's dog spun around that quickly, he let go of the harness and chain. He spun in the air, flipped and fell into the water," Mr Quilligan said.
A good Samaritan jumped in after him, keeping his head above water until paramedics arrived.
Talk Back Radio Australia.
Frustrated by never been able to enunciate your "issue" over the talk back radio show of your choosing? particularly the conservative radio show of your choosing?
If you are a conservative you will most likely never be listening to the ABC, SBS, 2UE / Fairfax and FM networks for one simple reason they are with a few exceptions promoting their leftist ideology and with a few exceptions will rarely allow a conservative caller to go to air unless they have some pre planed ridicule or mock the ignorant red neck caller skit in the pipe ready to go the minute the caller is shut down mid sentence.
Ok that’s the lefts, Labor’s privilege, the owners are entitled to censor the views expressed on their radio stations, if those views are not in tune with the Australian Labor Party,however the ABC and SBS are fully funded by the Australian TAXPAYERS or as the ruling Kevin 07 Rudd Socialist Government would describe them as 'Working Families" so I would suggest that the ABC and the Multicultural TV and Radio communications organization must be required to have a 50% split on the range of views from their callers that they put to air regardless of the views of those awaiting to be put to air, yes I hear you it will never happen, however in a perfect world...
But what is the EXCUSE for the so called "Conservative" NON Soacialist radio networks ?
Why do they NOT put your Conservative call to air?
Because the first rule of Radio and TV is ENTERTAINMENT, it does not matter if you have in your hands the cure for Cancer,unless some snotty nosed LEFTIST MEDIA educated "producer" understands the meaning of the words "Cancer" and "Cure" or their Mother or Father is dieing of Cancer during the day/week / hour minute you call their "Conservative Talkback star" hoping to share your Cure with Australians ...... forget it... it's ENTERTAINMENT YOU NUMB NUT.
Conservative Radio in Australia is an "Entertainment Industry" FIRST SECOND AND THIRD.
Don’t waste your time CALLING and trying to express your views on conservative RADIO and indeed the MSM Newspapers in Australia.
Search for a Blog that espouses your ideology and is ready to publish your support of your ideology,don’t bother trying to write a letter to the editor,let the left continue to have their monopoly on the newspapers and the MSM.
Do not forward any information to Conservative Radio “stars” don’t make their “Job” easy, let them earn their information the same way you came by it ie. the Blogosphere.
Disseminate your info via the net, network and share info between those who you know are prepared to share it and forward it to those who are interested in EDUCATION as opposed to Entertainment.
Australia is fighting for it’s LIFE,however most Australians are too busy demanding that they are Entertained … by their executioners before they are slaughtered.
Why do I say this?
Have a look at the names / listen to the names of the "celebrity" letters to the editor writers and talk back radio callers.
In my suburb I can set my clock by the so called "spontaneous" letter writer’s to my local paper espousing the leftist agenda on any topic,I believe these parrots are on staff, its the same ole same ole you can set your watch by them, any topic these same names always appear the NEXT DAY with the "leftist solution"
Main Stream Media is nothing more than a tool of the LEFT and their partners in crime the "entertainment industry"
Am I wrong? tell me why .
Homophobia classes for seven year olds
Daily Telegraph
January 26, 2010 10:27PM
NEW British sex education guidelines announced today include classes on sexism and homophobic bullying for seven-year-olds.
The value of marriage and stable relationships to family life will be taught to children from the ages of seven to 11, as well as the importance of delaying sexual experiences.
Education Secretary Ed Balls said sex education needed to be brought into the 21st century as times have changed since the children's parents were at school.
"New technologies and a 24-hour media mean that young people are increasingly exposed to images and content that can make them feel pressure to be sexually active before they are ready and can give them misleading information about relationships and growing up.
"We want to give young people the facts so that they can stay safe and healthy," Balls said.
But parenting groups have accused the government of engaging in social engineering, by "indoctrinating" children into thinking there are no "moral absolutes" when it comes to sexuality.
Director of Family and Youth Concern, Norman Wells said, "The idea of homophobic bullying as a distinct category of bullying is a device used by the gay rights lobby to promote the acceptance of homosexuality as normal and natural.
"But the vast majority of parents don't want their children's schools to present positive images of homosexuality under the guise of combating homophobic bullying."
Soon it will be compulsory
Free asylum seekers: Demands Rudd’s “Australian of the Year”
Daily Telegraph
January 25, 2010 8:54PM
THE new Australian of the Year has waded straight into controversy, describing detention centres for asylum seekers as "factories for producing mental illness''.
Mental health expert Patrick McGorry was named Australian of the Year by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd at a ceremony outside Parliament House this evening.
On the eve of Australia Day, Prof McGorry called for asylum seekers to be allowed to live in the community, instead of being sent to detention facilities on Christmas Island.
"Detention centres were, you could almost describe them as factories for producing mental illness and mental disorder,'' the youth psychiatrist from Victoria told reporters after receiving the award.
The other award recipients were less controversial.
Popular TV chef Maggie Beer was clearly delighted to win Senior Australian of the Year.
Trooper Mark Donaldson, who won the Victoria Cross for rescuing a colleague in Afghanistan, was named Young Australian of the Year.
And the Local Hero went to Ronni Kahn, who funnels spare food from restaurants to the needy.
In the past, the Australian of the Year has often gone to famous - and apolitical - faces like singer John Farnham and cricketer Steve Waugh.
But Prof McGorry, who won the award for his work in advocating for early intervention for young people with mental health problems, vowed to take on the Rudd Government.
He criticised the policy of mandatory detention of asylum seekers on Christmas Island.
The Rudd Government has softened the policy of the previous Liberal government, but mandatory detention remains in place.
Asylum seekers had major mental health issues and mandatory detention made matters worse, Prof McGorry said.
This arse clown is awarded the Labor Party “Australian of the Year” title, yet a man who has laid his life on the line fighting to protect Australians from those who at every opportunity enunciate their hatred for everything Australia and the Judeo Christian west stand for is called a “Young Australian of the Year”
This “Young Australian of the Year”was awarded the HIGHEST MILITARY HONOUR that can be bestowed upon any of Australia’s brave servicemen or women,in the Commonwealth, yet he is, in the eyes of “Rudd’s Australia” a second place recipient.
Is mental illness contagious? clearly the good Professor Mc Gorry has maybe spent too much time around those he values most.
Who came SECOND in Rudd’s Australia ?
“Australia's first Victoria Cross recipient in 40 years has been named as Young Australian of the Year.
Australian PM Kevin Rudd aka. Lu Kewan.(l) Seen here with the “YOUNG” SAS Trooper Mark Donaldson (c) and Rudd Government United Nations,lobbyist,apologist,advocate and Rudd family “inner circle family friend” Australian Governor General and “Glass Ceiling” activist Mrs / Ms. Q Bryce (r)
SAS Trooper Mark Donaldson was awarded Australia's highest military honour in 2009 for drawing enemy fire to himself when Taliban insurgents ambushed a combined Australian-US-Afghan convoy in September 2008.
The Young Australian of the Year award recognises how the 30-year-old West Australian enabled wounded soldiers to be moved to safety, before running 80 metres across exposed ground to rescue and carry a wounded Afghan interpreter to safety.”
``His bravery in the face of great danger saved lives and won him the highest respect,'' the National Australia Day Council said.”
Who came first ? a supporter of open borders ? A supporter of allowing illegal immigrants to enter Australia without ANY investigation into their “Story”?
SAS Trooper Mark Donaldson was prepared to DIE for Australia and it’s security, Prof McGorry, is prepared for other Australian’s to die if necessary for HIS, Rudd’s and their co Religionists /ideologists belief’s of “open borders”.
So this sack of SHIT is Rudd’s Australian of the Year?
Well to be fair he does represent all that Rudd/ Lu Kewan and his Government stands for, I guess Australia has got what it voted for,”Prof “Dodson 09 and Prof McGorry 2010…. Hey it can only get BETTER.
ps. Should not Rudd’s Open borders advocate be the “Islamist colonizer apologists of the Year” award recipient? What’s AUSTRALIAN about this clown? Ok Ok I can see there is plenty “Labor” about / in him,but where is the “Australian” in his utterances?

Climate sceptic Christopher Monckton to 'prove Rudd wrong'
The Australian
January 25, 2010
CLIMATE sceptic Christopher Monckton says he has evidence climate change is not a problem and that Kevin Rudd's emissions trading scheme is unnecessary.
Lord Monckton said today he had come to Australia to prove the Prime Minister wrong.
The former adviser to British prime minister Margaret Thatcher said Mr Rudd carried out “a 45-minute sustained personal attack” on him last November claiming he had no evidence on the effects of climate change.
“I'm going to say to the people of Australia, when your prime minister said I don't have any evidence, here I am, here is my evidence, here is where I got it from,” Lord Monckton said in Sydney today.
The climate change sceptic will carry out an extensive 13-day lecture tour of Australia at an estimated cost of $100,000.
The cost is being covered by two semi-retired Queensland engineers, John Smeed and Case Smit.
Lord Monckton claims climate change isn't a problem for the planet and carbon dioxide emissions don't contribute significantly to global warming.
He claims world temperatures will rise by just half a degree (Celsius) by the end of the decade, compared with UN scientists' prediction of a 3.5 degree rise.
He said millions of dollars were being made by “climate change profiteers”. “The ETS which I understand your government is proposing to introduce is unnecessary,” he said.
“It will simply be the largest tax increase in the history of Australia.
“All that will happen is that bankers and politicians will become even richer than they are.”
Lord Monckton said his evidence against climate change included the fact tropical cyclones in Australian are at a 40-year low, Greenland's ice cover is increasing 5cm a year and polar bear numbers are on the rise.

UN’s dead deadline exposes Rudd scam
Piers Akerman
Sunday Telegraph
Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 12:51am
THE UN has dumped the deadline to tackle climate change, leaving Kevin Rudd isolated in his view that “to delay any longer would be reckless and irresponsible for our economy and our environment”.
Rudd made that dire pronouncement at the National Press Club just over a year ago, in December 2008, when he, former US vice-president Al Gore and an assortment of others were hell-bent on introducing the greatest wealth redistribution scheme the world had ever seen.
Beijings man on the ground in Australia,Australian PM Mr Kevin Rudd aka. Lu Kewan.
Now, even the UN has realised that the scam has been exposed and that the support base for its massive global swindle has melted more rapidly than any Himalayan glacier.
The Copenhagen Conference may have been as chaotic as an inner-urban ALP branch meeting, but the fallout has been devastating.
The only firm agreement for which there was general support among the freeloading nations present was to set a deadline of the end of this month for the first part of the ongoing process to deal with anthropogenic global warming.
Now the UN has waived that deadline.
Those present had agreed to declare their emission reduction targets, with developing nations stating the level of cuts they intended to make by 2020 and developing nations outlining their plans to curb emissions growth.
Now, Yvo de Boer, the UN’s chief climate change official, has admitted the deadline has been voided.
“By (the end of) January, countries will have the opportunity to indicate if they want to be associated with the accord,” he said. “(Governments could) indicate by the deadline, or they could also indicate later.”
“You could describe it as a soft deadline. There is nothing deadly about it. If (countries) fail to meet it, they can still associate with the Copenhagen accord after.”
This is not a deadline, not even a soft deadline. It is a dead deadline, a non-deadline, a meaningless deadline. It is not a line in the sand, a line in the mud or a line in the air. It is a non-existent line.
But the Prime Minister is left with his September 2008 claim: “After a long period of inaction, we have drawn a line in the sand on climate change. We recognise it as the greatest economic, environmental and moral challenge of our time.”
The day after Rudd declared delay on action on global warming to be “irresponsible” and “reckless”, he told a press conference in Brisbane that Copenhagen was the “clear cut” destination point.
“The end point of that,” he said, “will decide whether or not as a world community we’re serious about the future of the planet.”
The world community, through the UN, has just sent him a message. It doesn’t think the future of the planet is in as serious a plight as he believes. It doesn’t think he is on the right page on global warming.
It has decided that Copenhagen and the hysterical approach to climate change promoted by Rudd and a few others bent on transferring the wealth of the Western nations to the developing world was an over-the-top solution to a problem that increasingly appears to have been based on phoney figures, manipulated data and dodgy science.
US President Barack Obama had already signalled that he would not be pushing for any drastic measures before he was given a drubbing in Massachusetts on Tuesday.
The vote that saw the Democrats lose the Senate seat held by John F.Kennedy and his brother Ted for nearly 50 years was seen by some as a referendum on Obama’s crippled healthcare program.
But that was not the only issue that drove voters to the polls in record numbers.
Many were objecting to every aspect of the Obama approach to politics, including his embrace of multilateral forums such as the UN and its policies on matters such as global warming.
They would also be aware that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN body responsible for the apocalyptic climate predictions, has been caught out making unscientific forecasts in papers distributed for maximum political effect.
Dr Chris Landsea, a climate specialist dealing with hurricanes who quit the IPCC in disgust at the misrepresentation of scientific data five years ago, sounded the alarm then but was ignored as the IPCC promoted a false picture of increasing hurricane and cyclone activity.
Last week, it was revealed that the IPCC had also relied on unscientific claims of Himalayan glacial melts to make its case.
Rudd and Climate Change Minister Penny Wong constantly cited the IPCC as the source of their wild claims about increasing extreme weather events.
Madame Wong, Rudd Government Minister for Climate Change and Water
The IPCC said the prediction on glacial melt in its landmark 2007 report was “poorly substantiated” and resulted from a lapse in standards.
Rudd and Wong cannot claim the same excuse. They bought the whole argument and branded those who challenged them “deniers”.
Apart from owing thousands of well-meaning sceptics an apology, Rudd must also explain why the UN is walking away from him and the issue he claims is “the great moral, economic and environmental challenge of our age”.
He has been back from holiday for a week and made a series of embarrassingly ignorant speeches on the economy in which he has shown he has no grasp of economics.
And he has not addressed the UN’s retreat from Copenhagen and the failure of his scaremongering on global warming.
Perhaps his claims about global destruction were merely first drafts of his next book for children. The UN is certainly treating them as such.
Frustration fuels acts of hatred
SMH
MIRANDA DEVINE
January 23, 2010
The 23-year-old Nigerian charged with trying to detonate a bomb on a Northwest Airlines flight over Detroit on Christmas Day was lonely and sexually repressed, according to messages left on an Islamic website.
As a US Senate Homeland Security committee continued to argue this week about how to handle Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the emotional anguish in his web posts provides an insight into fanatical Islam and what drives often hapless young men to become suicide bombers. Much as we would like them to be, they are not monsters.
Being the son of a wealthy banker, and living in London, Abdulmutallab had no real beef with Western life, did not complain about racism or express concern for downtrodden Muslim brothers.
But, like the September 11 bombers, who visited strip clubs before their date with destiny, when his devout religious beliefs conflicted with his corporeal desires, he found that blowing himself up along with a whole lot of infidels was preferable to being sexually frustrated.
As the New York Post put it: "The bomb wasn't the only thing burning in his pants."
On the Islamic Forum of the Gawaher website in 2005 and 2006 were more than 300 posts by Farouk1986 - Abdulmutallab's middle name and birth year.
Under the heading: "I think I feel lonely," Farouk1986 complains he has never found "a true Muslim friend".
"As I get lonely, the natural sexual drive awakens and I struggle to control it, sometimes leading to minor sinful activities like not lowering the gaze.
"And this problem makes me want to get married to avoid getting aroused … but I am only 18.'' In another post, he writes ''the hair of a woman can easily arouse a man''.
He also writes of "my dilemma between liberalism and extremism … how should one put the balance right?"
He talks at one point about his fantasies: ''The bad part of it is sometimes the fantasies are a bit worldly rather than concentrating in the hereafter.''
He tries instead to focus on more acceptable "jihad fantasies''.
''I imagine how the great jihad will take place, how the Muslims will win Insha'Allah and rule the whole world, and establish the greatest empire once again!!!"
As the youngest of 16 children and the son of his father's No. 2 wife, he reportedly spent most of his childhood at an English boarding school in West Africa. The trajectory to extreme violence of this gentle, pious young man who wanted so much to be good and consequential, and yet was consumed with guilt about sex, fits with much of what is known about other Islamist suicide bombers.
Perhaps the best psychological explanation comes from United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny and Terror, the recent book by Jamie Glazov, the managing editor of FrontPage Magazine.
In a chapter entitled "To Hate a Woman", he describes in chilling detail the oppression of women in parts of the Muslim world and the "theological justification" for violence against females "from the very moment of their birth".
Islamist hatred of women has "fertilised the soil in which … terrorism and the new death cult have grown".
He claims there is an "Islamist war on private love [which] derives most of its energy from a deep-seated misogyny. Women's empowerment, independence and self-determination, especially the sexual variety, pose a threat to Islamism's very existence."
Islamist misogyny, he claims, comes from Islam itself. "The notion that women are by their very nature inferior to men is the underpinning of the entire structure and derives its legitimacy from numerous traditional teachings."
It is no coincidence that the Arabic word "fitna" has two meanings - beautiful woman and social chaos.
Glazov writes that in many Islamic societies, "women are supposed to dehumanise themselves in order to be tolerated … Women are considered to be the incarnation of shahwa [desire] which comes from the devil. In this environment the pathological notion arises that a man and a woman cannot be alone without the ominous threat of evil in their midst.
"The men denigrate the object of their lust so as to diminish their own shame. In this dynamic of sexual repression and misogyny, love is reduced to violent domination which becomes directly intertwined with terrorism against societies that allow women freedom, especially sexual freedom."
Practices such as polygamy and repudiation - in which a man can divorce his wife by pronouncing certain words - conspire to "minimise the possibility of private love even among married couples".
"Islam teaches that the sexual act is dirty and consequently surrounds it with rituals. The objective is to build a wall between the lovers themselves."
Polygamy, Glazov writes, has a disastrous effect on Muslim boys who grow up with "all kinds of siblings born of different women which gives them the idea that none of these women, including their own mother, was good enough to be cherished alone. The boys internalise this misogyny which leads in turn to self hate."
Their psychological abandonment of their mothers is "directly connected to their urge for terror and suicide".
Female genital mutilation, in which a woman's clitoris - or entire external genital organs - is removed is an attempt to "deny women even the possibility of personal happiness and sexual satisfaction".
Glazov writes of Saudi instructional TV programs about wife-beating and cites a report from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences which estimated 90 per cent of Pakistani wives had been beaten or sexually abused for offences such as cooking an unsatisfactory meal.
These stories are not remote from Australian concerns. The Islamic Women's Welfare Council of Victoria, in a 2008 report, since removed from its website, concluded that some Australian Muslim religious leaders condoned rape within marriage, polygamy and domestic violence.
In gang rape trials, Muslim men have mounted the defence that their strict religious upbringing made them believe they could rape Australian non-Muslim girls.
This week, in Melbourne, an Afghan refugee is being tried for allegedly strangling his wife with her veil after complaining she was "becoming Australian". The jury was told the victim had claimed her husband punched her and told her her only purpose was to have babies.
Spiritual leader faces court on rape charge
SMH
SARAH MALIK
January 21, 2010 - 3:19PM
The spiritual leader of a Sydney religious group dedicated to divine love has faced court today on a charge of rape.
Mohammad Memar Zadeh, 38, of the Nimatullahi Sufi Order based in Balmain appeared via video link at Central Local Court this morning.
He was refused bail by the magistrate, Jane Culver, and remains in custody.
He did not enter a plea.
He was charged with aggravated sexual intercourse without consent in December with a woman who was, according to court documents, "under his authority" as spiritual leader of the organisation.
The alleged offence took place in Chatswood between 3pm and 5pm on December 5.
Mr Memar Zadeh was arrested by Newtown police on December 10 at the Sufi Centre on Mullens Street, Balmain, where he lived.
The Nimatullahi Sufi Order is a spiritual organisation dedicated to the "realisation of truth through love and devotion", its website says.
The centre offers a public space for meditation on Thursday and Sunday nights.
Prominent members of the organisation include advertising guru Siimon Reynolds, who was listed in NSW Government Fair Trading records as a public officer of the organisation from 2001 to 2009.
Mr Reynolds is the author of four self-help books including Become Happy in Eight Minutes.
The Iranian based Sufi order has branches in New York, London and Tehran.
The current "master" of the order, Alireza Nurbakhsh, a lawyer who lives in the order's estate in Banbury, England, has not responded to queries.
Mr Nurbakhsh succeeded to the role after his father, Dr Javad Nurbakhsh, died in October last year, aged 82.
Dr Nurbakhsh had been the master of the order since his appointment at the age of 26.
The case has been adjourned until April 22.

Saudi girl, 13, sentenced to 90 lashes after she took a mobile phone to school
DailyMail
By Mail Foreign Service
21st January 2010
A 13-year-old Saudi schoolgirl is to be given 90 lashes in front of her classmates after she was caught with a mobile camera phone.
The girl, who has not been named, was also sentenced to two months in jail by a court in the eastern city of Jubail.
She had assaulted her headmistress after being caught with the gadget which is banned in girl schools, said Al-Watan, a Saudi newspaper. The kingdom's use of such punishments has been widely condemned by human rights organisations. 
A criminal gets a public flogging by two officials in Saudi Arabia
Three years ago 16 schoolchildren, aged between 12 and 18, were each sentenced to between 300 and 500 lashes for being aggressive to a teacher.
Under Saudi's Sharia or Islamic law, flogging is mandatory for a number of moral offences such as adultery or being alone in the company of an unrelated person of the opposite sex. But it can also be used at the discretion of judges as an alternative or in addition to other punishments.
Al-Watan said a court in the northeastern Gulf port of Jubail had sentenced the girl to 90 lashes inside her school, followed by two months' detention.
The punishment is harsher than that dished out to some robbers and looters.
Saudi Arabia, a leading US ally in the Middle East, is an absolute monarchy controlled by the Al-Saud ruling tribe, and lacks any legal code.
Absolute monarchy: King Abdullah, ruler of the oil-rich state, meeting Gordon Brown on a 2007 visit to Downing Street
American President, Hussein Obama, seen here on one of his 2009 I hate America too world tours,bowing to King Abdulla.The President has given numerous addresses demanding that Americans “respect Islam” and it’s customs.
King Abdullah has promoted some social reforms since taking the throne in 2005 but diplomats say he is held back by religious clerics and princes.
Cinemas and music concerts are banned, while many restaurants and even some shopping centres cater to families only, especially on holidays.
Religious police roam streets to make sure no unrelated men and women mix.
The Saudi court system is exclusively controlled Wahahbi/Salafi clerics, and bans the employment of non-Salafi citizens, especially as judges.
Saudi Arabia is the world's leading country in the use of torture-by-flogging, public beheadings and publically crucifying condemned prisoners.
The country crucified two people in 2009, including one in the capital Riyadh during President Barak Obama’s visit last April.
In September, 20 Saudi teenagers who ransacked shops and restaurants were publicly flogged.
Newspapers reported that the teenagers received at least 30 lashes each in a public square.
Most of the hijackers in the September 11 attacks in 2001 came from Saudi Arabia.

Rudd, Obama have plenty in common, says US ambassador
Daily Telegraph
January 20, 2010
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd and US President Barack Obama have a "tremendous affinity", a senior US diplomat said.
US Ambassador Jeffrey Bleich said the powerful pair had plenty in common.
Former PM John Howard was a close mate with then US president George W Bush, leaving no doubt as to the closeness of Australia's most important alliance.
Mr Bleich said that relationship was as strong as ever under the new leaders.
"I think there's a tremendous affinity between President Obama and Prime Minister Rudd," he told Sky News.
"They have a lot of things in common, they're of similar age, they have an appreciation for policy, they both grew up in Asia."
Mr Bleich pointed to Mr Obama's childhood years in Indonesia and Mr Rudd's years as a diplomat in China.
The US was refocussing on Asia under Mr Obama and saw itself as a "Pacific country", according to Mr Bleich.
After a year in office support for Mr Obama has fallen as the US grapples with the financial crisis, and some of the President's reforms hit roadblocks.
Mr Bleich said Mr Obama had picked tough areas for reform like climate change and health care and "you have to expect that there's going to be some criticism".
Finally someone, the American ambassador to Australia no less, has confirmed that Kevin 07 "I have never been a socialist" Rudd and the left wing community organizer, voice of Islam and the United Nations the President of the United States of America Hussein Obama, have so much in common.
Is it their shared belief in the now totally discredited Junk Science of Global Warming /Climate Change / Dangerous Climate Change ?
Is it their shared belief in a "New World Order" ?
Is it their shared belief in "Social Change" ?
Is it their shared belief in “Open Borders” and the flooding of their respective nations with those who at every opportunity enunciate their commitment to destroy all that has made the USA and Australia what they are today, and to rebuild them in the image of the various FAILED States, Religions and cultures that they RAN AWAY from ?
Is it their shared belief in having an overwhelming desire to control who is entitled to medical treatment and when and where they are allowed to receive it ?
Is it their shared subservience to the United Nations and the rank evil it inflicts upon free men and women the world over ?
Or is it their shared plummeting popularity ratings ?
Obama’s Senate loss should sound alarm for PM
Piers Akerman

BARACK Obama’s chances of winning a second term nosedived yesterday when the Democrats lost the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for the past 47 years and his brother John F. Kennedy for 10 years before that.
It is unlikely Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will be on the telephone seeking Obama’s advice on politics any time soon.
In a stunning victory, Republican state senator Scott Brown defeated the Democrat state Attorney-General Martha Coakley, becoming the first Republican to hold the seat since Henry Cabot Lodge Jr in 1946.
The defeat is a huge blow for Obama, who personally campaigned for Coakley in bitter cold and deep snow on Sunday.
Critically, the upset has the potential to derail Obama’s healthcare bill as it deprives the Democrats of the 60-vote majority needed to pass the legislation should the House alter the Bill and return it to the Senate for a vote.
Opposition leader Tony Abbott might like to call and congratulate Scott Brown, a 50-year-old lawyer, former model and National Guard volunteer who has served in the state legislature since 1966.
Like Abbott, Brown is not afraid of showing his body. When he was 22 he posed naked for a Cosmopolitan centrefold and won America’s sexiest man competition. He still strikes a manly figure, driving a ute - or truck, as the Americans say - to work.
Among the important lessons for the Rudd administration to be drawn from this result is that the cult of personality that sweeps some into office can just as speedily evaporate.
Another is the danger of a government claiming that any single piece of legislation is crucial to its administration.
A parallel could be drawn between Obama’s fixation with healthcare and Rudd’s hype about global warming and the need for his massive wealth redistribution plan.
The healthcare bill was seen by voters as an albatross around the necks of taxpayers in Massachusetts, which is the most Democrat-leaning state in the US.
A third is the danger in believing that a friendly media represents a friendly electorate.
With the notable exception of the Fox network, the US press has been as mushy and gooey about the Obama administration as “our” ABC has been about the Rudd pets - Jasper the cat and Abby the dog.
Yesterday it was announced that Rudd has been given a regular spot by his old media mates at Channel 7 in what is clearly a bid to boost a friendly image into households before the expected August election.
The segment was announced by producer Adam Boland, who was behind Rudd’s attempt to stage a phony Anzac Day service in PNG, and is being claimed as an example of “direct democracy”. Democracy, however, requires more than a single participant, unless Seven believes one-party democracy is what the nation needs. Rudd should tell us what he thinks about one-party states and explain their democratic virtues.
No matter how this is presented, Massachusetts has dealt a bad hand to both Obama and his Aussie acolyte.
Bo, the White House Portuguese water dog, better keep out of Obama’s way this week. The boss will not be happy.
Rudd’s pet cat and dog, Jasper and Abby, would also do well to keep a very low profile.
