Speaking a few days ago on the ABC’s Insiders program, ASIO director-general Mike Burgess said “rhetorical support” for Hamas should not bar applicants in Gaza from receiving visas for Australia.

What Burgess meant by “rhetorical support” was entirely unclear. Nor has Burgess clarified the boundaries of “rhetorical support” since then. But if “rhetorical support” involves endorsing Hamas’s actions or values, Burgess’s statement needs to be promptly and explicitly rejected by the government.

It is, to begin with, undeniable that Hamas is a terrorist organisation that has committed heinous crimes against both Israelis and Palestinians. That approving those crimes, which include mass rapes and murdering babies in cold blood, ought to be sufficient to preclude entry into Australia should hardly need saying.
...


To provide even “rhetorical support” for Hamas’s core values is consequently no small thing: it is to believe tens of thousands of Australians have no right to live. And the fact that surveys find that more than 90 per cent of Gaza’s inhabitants share Hamas’s hatred of Jews highlights the risks setting a low bar for admitting Gazans to Australia creates.

That makes Burgess’s statement that “rhetorically” supporting Hamas is “no problem” careless at best, utterly irresponsible at worst. It also makes the claim that it is racist to be concerned about that statement ludicrous. It is hardly racist to oppose the entry into this country of genocidal racists.

But the primary responsibility lies not with Burgess but with the government. It has, quite rightly, stressed that anti-Semitism has no place in Australia. How then could it possibly issue visas to people who sympathise, however “rhetorically”, with a movement based on a psychotic hostility to Jews? Is this country’s social cohesion worth so little that it deserves to be shredded for the sake of a few votes?


If that is what we have come to, Australia’s Jews, who have lived here entirely peacefully since European settlement’s very first days, have every right to feel betrayed. And so, regardless of race, creed or religion, does every other Australian.

The trouble with ASIO is that they have a paid mate on the government direct payroll contract as the boss ..... a few superficial complaints about 'security' and all's good...

Anyone who was once granted a slot on Australian Airships or submarines or whatever is a clear mate and not much else.

An engineer by training, little bit of soldering in the national communications monitoring hub.... gig at Australian Submarines where all the old mates given the boot get a fresh gig, and now he's the boss of our allegedly highest onshore security monitoring facility - they sure need me there these days.  Pity about my heart failure while undergoing re-selection... hmmm...

P.S.  I've never been a 'yes' man - never will be.  If you want someone with an honest view to express - I'm your man.

Australia flooded with 1.1 million immigrants in just one year –
and conservatives are to blame, expert says



...

    August 20, 2024

    The Noticer

More than 1.1 million immigrants arrived in Australia during the last year, and successive conservative governments are to blame, a finance expert says.

TV presenter and author Alan Kohler said in his weekly finance column for The New Daily on Monday that Australia’s housing affordability crisis was caused by years of mass immigration, which occurred due to quiet changes made by the Coalition.

Kohler highlighted Australian Bureau of Statistics figures released last week showing that in the 2023/24 financial year there were 1.1 million long-term arrivals, resulting in a net intake of 469,140 when departures are taken into account.

Over the same period the government handed out 820,000 temporary visas, including 375,000 to foreign students, 110,000 to graduates, and 100,000 to “skilled” migrants.

“Most of Australia’s migrant intake has been outsourced to universities and colleges, who see new arrivals as customers rather than migrants,” Kohler wrote.

“They use ‘education agents’ in other countries to recruit them, paying sales commissions to spur them on.

“And those agents are mainly selling visas, not education. They’re a bit like legal people smugglers.”

Kohler said two changes made by the Howard government in 2001 had laid the foundation for the current situation – allowing students from countries such as China and India, and creating a pathway to permanent residency.

Then the Abbott government brought in a swathe of new policies to ramp up international student numbers, including by shifting the risk rating from country to education provider.

The Morrison government in 2022 then removed working hour limits or foreign students and scrapped visa application fees.

Kohler said the result was a “dire housing crisis”

and a situation where the government is trying to cap foreign student intake while also facing the impossible takes of trying to build enough houses for their own unlikely migration targets for next year.

The dependence of Australian universities on international students has been under the microscope in recent weeks, with revelations some classes are now being conducted almost entirely in Chinese, leaving locals excluded.

At the same time, students are graduating despite being unable to speak basic English, and academics have complained that foreign students are using AI to complete assignments, and being allowed to pass even if they get caught.

That's what will happen here in Australia as there is no housing for the millions of new immigrants.

32 ARMED Venezuelan Gang Members Overtake Apartment Complex


in Sanctuary City of CHICAGO [911 Call Audio Included]


by Patty McMurray Sep. 3, 2024 8:00 am

American citizens have been watching in shock as Venezuelan gangs are taking over apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, just outside of Denver.

Denver is a hot spot for dumping Venezuelans who’ve crossed our open-borders while Joe Biden’s Border Czar Kamala Harris sat back and the crisis unfold.

Last night, a shocking 911 call was shared by Libs of Tik Tok on X, that revealed 32 armed Venezuelan migrants were attempting to overtake an apartment complex in Chicago last night.


Winter is right around the corner. Did anyone honestly think these Venezuelan gangs who ruled the countries they came from, were going to be sleeping in tents in local parks while unarmed Chicago residents slept inside?

This Chicago resident warns the ARMED Venezuelan gangs thinking about taking over their places of residency in gun-free Chicago, “We got switches!”
