The Australian Government is a bunch of traitorous and murderous bastards. Why? The war mongering fools in Canberra have supported the leading war crazies in Washington in an invasion of two Middle Eastern Nations, Afghanistan and Iraq. The Howard cabal has given military support directly to aid these illegal invasions and occupation of two sovereign states. Neither of these nations had any linkage to the 9/11 World Trade Centre attacks. Today Canberra's war mongering fools are traitors against the people of Australia as John Howard's cabal, clearly identifying themeselves as war crimininals dispatch additional troops to Iraq.
The people of Australia visibly and loudly demonstrated against Howard's cabal in public protests and marches. All segments of society numbering in the thousands of protestors, the largest public protests ever seen in this country. Clearly the Australian government does NOT have the support of the electors to involve us in the killing deserts of innocent civilians in Iraq. By being a puppet supporter of Washington's crazies in its illegal military conquest. Canberra eagerly signed on to the war crazies deceit, and manipulation behind President George Bush and the United kingdom's Tony Blair going it with Washington. None of which means Australia is compelled to join the barbarous illegal acts of murder in illegal preemptive attacks and invasion.
Every individual in this country needs to be reminded of the Geneva Protocols. The International Law that relates to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts.
1. The civilian population and individual civilians shall enjoy general protection against dangers arising from military operations. To give effect to this protection, the following rules, which are additional to other applicable rules of international law, shall be observed in all circumstances.
2. The civilian population as such, as well as individual civilians, shall not be the object of attack. Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.
3. Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by this Section, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities.
4. Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited. Indiscriminate attacks are:
a) Those which are not directed at a specific military objective;
b) Those which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective;
c) Those which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by this Protocol; and consequently, in each case, are of a nature to strike military objectives and civilians or civilian objects without distinction.
5. Among others, the following types of attack are to be considered as indiscriminate:
d) An attack by bombardment by any methods or means which treats as a single military objective a number of clearly separated and distinct military objectives located in a city, town, village or other area containing a similar concentration of civilians or civilian objects; and
e) An attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated.
Substantial evidence exist that the invasion of Iraq and military action in Afghanistan by the United States with Australia's military participation, intelligence community involvement and government support contravened the Geneva Protocols. No reservation exist to state that responsible members of the cabinet of the Australian government, and senior officers of Australia's military establishment are complicit and knowing accomplices to violation of every single one of these protocols.
As a member and accomplice in the "coalition of the willing" the Australian Government has responsibility for torture, executions, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and crimes committed in Iraq, Afghanistan and the prison of Guantanamo. The Australian government is complicit in the deaths of thousands of civilians.

Behind plan to import skills.
Why does Canberra want an additional 20,000 skilled workers to Australia next year? Are they needed? Why can't we train our local workforce to higher skills? Is a forecast fall in real estate values resusitated in part with importing skilled workers dollars in the home market?
Australia would benefit from more skilled workers - if our economy was likely to continue growing. We have the option to consider training local workers or import lock stock and barrel? An ACTU Background Paper in July 04 predicted a skilled workers shortage of 130,000 in the next five years. The number of skilled worker shortage was predicated on an expanding economic model. Today the economy reveals itself under stress, a faltering global economic landscape has been kept under wraps by Canberra, a complicit ALP and major media so the election could be gotten out of the way.
China currently invigorates demand for Australian raw resources. China's demand will not sustain as its growth is reliant on exporting container after container of goods to USA. China is experiencing domestic problems of insufficient energy to drive their development, growing environmental pollution and emerging currency inflation will hamper growth.
The American economy is in decline, although most are hazy over this unfolding time bomb. A weakening US dollar and resultant loss in purchasing power for US consumers, a falling residential property market looms at the corner. The USA has been devastated in shedding decent manufacturing jobs, replaced with minimum wage jobs without health insurance benefits. Economic stalling numbers, horrendous current account and trade debt has eroded the standard of living for Americans, with the worst yet to hit. The consequences will be negative for Australia's economy. Our standard of living will be reduced as the world's number one consumer market, USA turns fallow.
Unprecedented unpayable national debt in USA & Australia, unpayable global debt levels now relegate the greenback and eventually the Aussie dollar as basket cases. Couple these global stressors to the predicted shortfall of Australia's sufficiency in oil reserves, merging with high costs of importing oil. The factors as drivers behind increasing skilled worker immigrant numbers into Australia is the strategic shift to hold real estate values intact a while longer as the bubble leaks.
As interest rates climb mortgage payments will be under pressure. Additional skilled workers trained from within Australia will not save the real estate market. Canberra sees it will get a reprieve importing skilled workers. Resumption of immigration is 20,000 home buyers and their need to equip the home wouldn't go astray? Personal assets moved to Australia by a skilled worker increase and invested into homes will defer the sound of air hissing from the real estate market?
