  It's Illegal for foreign nations to record and store third party communications on Australian soil posted by Philip Dorling via judd, 2013-06-25 11:14:20
Under Oz communications laws all forms of bugging and recording of other peoples' data communications local and international are clearly illegal. Which places America's Pine Gap communications and surveillance facility in the spotlight once again. It has been known for decades that the Pine Gap installation has been performing sensitive surveillance on foreign and local communications, as these practices (local surveillance) were illegal in the USA when the installation was constructed -- how handy to have servile political leaders in Oz that kowtow to Washington's every whim whether legal or illegal!

 Wesfarmers Coles Integrity Watch posted by suzie, 2013-06-25 09:54:50
Following revelations of the sordid and heartless exploitation of Bangladeshi textile workers by Wesfarmers Coles, aired on the ABC Four Corners program on Monday night, it has come to our notice via Bangladeshi, Indian and other Coles staff that staff are verbally abused on a regular basis by the Store manager of the Eastgate Bondi Junction Store. He has even engaged in this grossly improper practice, we are advised, in front of customers! All Coles staff should be made aware that they are not required to tolerate verbal abuse from ANYONE, customers, other staff but especially management. Very clear protocols and industrial laws exist in AUSTRALIA which must be adhered to and they do not include tolerating verbal abuse! (full story)

Be Careful About Who You Call Traitor posted by Julian Assange via marcie, 2013-06-23 12:49:23
It has now been a year since I entered this embassy and sought refuge from persecution. As a result of that decision, I have been able to work in relative safety from a US espionage investigation. But today, Edward Snowden's ordeal is just beginning. (full story)

 Snowden: Beijing didn’t Bite so it’s off to Moscow then Ecuador posted by barra, 2013-06-23 11:56:01
The NSA leaker saga is becoming ridiculous, note how the list of asylum locations for Ed Snowden -- now charged with espionage by the US -- continues to change, especially after Beijing (world leaders in ‘soft’ espionage) refused to bite and take Snowden in. It is worth noting how ‘certain’ Snowden was about choosing Hong Kong, Chinese territory, as his safe haven, well that quickly changed when Beijing didn’t fall over itself to embrace Snowden or grant him asylum even though, according to Snowden, he was “learning Mandarin” -- LOL -- for fuck’s sake, what do you morons use for brains out there? This is 2 + 2 deductive reasoning and logic! (full story)

 Editor-in-Chief for the Melbourne Age Expresses the NATION'S Desire posted by dasha, 2013-06-22 00:50:58
An Age editorial calls for Juliar Gillard, the most politically toxic and poisonous politician in Oz history -- and this is understatement -- to step down for the good of her Party and the NATION. Unlike the dainty, soft, apologetic approach of the Age I will call it as the Aussie rough that I am, a Sydney slum boy with a university education. The entire country wants Gillard OUT that is established fact but the floundering insular dunces in the Labor Party refuse to acknowledge a NATIONAL OUTCRY -- to their immense cost, notwithstanding.

 Unregulated Oz Banks rake in record $11bn in Fees posted by staff report via ned, 2013-06-21 11:09:35
Since former PM and traitor Paul Keating floated the Oz dollar, privatised the CBA and deregulated commercial Banks their greed has known no limits; today a record eleven billion dollars in service FEES has been extracted from business and the already burdened Oz public. Furthermore, if you think the Banks are grateful, forget it, they have never had it better and are intent on off-shoring more jobs and discarding more local personnel to further enhance their bottom line. Clearly, it's time a 'Bank Workers (only) Union' was formed to balance a very imbalanced situation. (full story)

The most striking characteristic of today's Oz Labor Party is its very public INABILITY for DECISIVE EFFECTIVE ACTION -- and therein lies the underlying cause of Labor's demise. (full story)
