Oz pollies: men of ‘Principle and Integrity,’ ROFL! - International Social/Political

Imagine Abraham Lincoln about-facing on the issue of slavery and becoming an advocate for slavery instead of a fierce opponent; that is the degree to which Australian politicians compromise themselves and yet hope to walk the streets unassailed, let alone remain in office!

The Japanese committed ritual suicide when their honour was compromised; which would seem preferable to dying the death of a million slurs, taunts and accusations today in the flesh and FOREVER, recorded in HISTORY!

The disgraceful, shameless, behaviour of Garrett and Rudd is beyond measure for anyone with the least particle of self-respect and integrity! There is little doubt today that HONOUR, INTEGRITY and PRINCIPLE have been removed from the Australian political lexicon. The vile, COWARDLY, scum masquerading as OUR leaders, continue to show their grotesque faces in public – they also continue to attract the scorn and ridicule of the ENTIRE WORLD, but particularly the ridicule of the Chinese! Charge or release Stern Hu, is a simple demand in the circumstances, Kevin, you gutless flea! It has taken recent events for the majority of Australians to become painfully aware that WE HAVE NO REAL LEADERS. What inhabits OUR PARLIAMENT could best be described as rodents, cockroaches and maggots, IF THE SHOE FITS ..! I hear NO STRONG VOICES from the Labor Party in support Mr Hu!

THE WORLD CONTINUES TO WATCH THE PATHETIC PERFORMANCE OF FM, ‘kneepads’ Smith and PM, Kevin ‘custard face’ Rudd – how could ANY Aussie travel the world today without attracting the scorn and derision earned for us ALL by our disgusting leaders – yes junior, the behaviour of our leaders reflects on us ALL!

Peter Garrett, once a rabid anti-uranium mining activist, now wears the hat of Corporate (uranium mining) America and deceives himself that his 180 degree about-face on ‘PRINCIPLES’ is accepted by the population -- in your TRAITOROUS, spineless, dreams, Garrett!

Uranium mining requires huge amounts of WATER which is not in abundant supply in our deserts and any further PILFERING of our artesian and underground supplies should not be allowed -- high quality water is too precious to WASTE on mining profits!

The latest ‘effort’ our fearless leader Rudd offers a jailed Aussie citizen in China, held without charge, is to ‘threaten’ China with, wait for it, “the world is watching you!” INDEED, Kevin, the world is watching YOU -- you DESPICABLE COWARD; go back to racist, Queensland where you belong, you have never REFLECTED the REAL AUSTRALIAN CHARACTER, nor could a NARCISSISTIC, show-pony, photo-op, LACKEY, puppet politician, ever hope to understand the qualities that make Australian MEN what they are – remember Long Tan, you stinking coward – I would ‘shoot’ you myself given the opportunity, you foul disgrace of a human being!

Perhaps soon we may see the culpable in the US and Australia face trial and suffer the consequences of their corrupt treasonous and criminal actions. Go back to YOUR black deaths in custody and Taser-abusing POLICE State, Kevin, you piece of shit!

As for you Garrett, I hope and pray that I do not bump into you in the street, I’m only human!

[Real leaders know how to rally the people/nations to a RIGHTEOUS CAUSE, but Rudd’s Queensland racism prevents him VIGOROUSLY pursuing the political incarceration of a CHINESE Australian! Rudd and his ilk should consider the prospect that THEY may become a rallying point some time in the near future. A nation may seek justice when corrupt, servile politicians are fully EXPOSED!]

REMEMBER BALIBO, Kevin, you spineless turd!

THE new uranium mine approved by Environment Minister Peter Garrett will be owned by a subsidiary of one of the world's biggest arms dealers.

A colourful but reclusive billionaire named James Neal Blue, who helped devise the Predator unmanned aircraft being used in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, is a director of Quasar Resources, the company that will control the Four Mile mine. [Emphasis added.]

Quasar Resources is an affiliate of General Atomics, a US weapons and nuclear energy corporation that is chaired by Mr Blue, and reportedly holds $US700 million ($A877 million) in Pentagon contracts. Mr Blue first came to prominence during the 1980s as a self-described "enthusiastic supporter" of US involvement in a covert war against the left-wing government in Nicaragua.

Next to the new Four Mile mine is the Beverley uranium mine, which is owned by Heathgate Resources, also affiliated to Mr Blue's General Atomics.

Mr Garrett yesterday defended the decision to grant environmental approval to the Four Mile mine, saying there would be strict monitoring of radioactive waste.

The decision was endorsed by the Opposition Leader, Malcolm Turnbull, and by the Minerals Council of Australia.

Mr Garrett, a former environmental campaigner who protested against uranium mining and the US military presence in Australia, denied yesterday he had compromised his principles.

"Look, that is an old song, it's an old cycle that we hear from political opponents who seem to forget that I joined the Labor Party, I became a member of the Government and I said at the time that I would accept, as a team player, the decisions that the Government took," he said.

"And my job, as a consequence of that, is to support the Government's decision clearly and make sure as Environment Minister that I set the bar on environmental protection as high as it needs to go, and that is world's best practice, and that is what we have done with this decision."

However, environmental groups have serious concerns about the height of that bar, pointing out that there is no requirement for the company to clean up the underground radioactive plumes that can be expected to slowly drift around in the water table.

Mr Blue's Quasar Resources has partnered with Australian mineral exploration company Alliance Resources to set up the mine.

Mr Blue bought tracts of uranium-rich land in Australia decades ago, before the Federal Government approved uranium mining, according to a rare profile in Fortune magazine.

Uranium ore from the Four Mile mine is expected to be sent to reactors in the US.

Mr Garrett is expected to face further tough uranium decisions.

BHP Billiton's Yeelerrie uranium deposit 400 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie is in the midst of a prefeasibility study ahead of a possible mining application by the end of 2011, while Mr Garrett may also need to decide on an application to mine uranium at Kintyre, in the East Pilbara.
