Peter, do you believe in Santa too?

Just asking.

Labor did so much good under Keating, after he told Hawke to walk, and history will treat him kindly. Hawke on the other hand, as a Christian hater, the son of a preacher, harbored an aversion to Christianity that caused him to strengthen the atheist grip on the law. KR continued the good work, but just as Heaven was in sight, fell by the wayside mainly because he listened to atheists and other odd sods and bods, in the public service.

Howard lost because he was clearly no longer a Christian. Workchoices relied heavily on the pagan concept of revengeful punishment. That revengeful punishment which was threatening almost 100 workers, ordinary working men and women in the construction of the Mandurah Railway, with fines of $100,000 inflicted summarily: That is inflicted by a Judge. A Judge cannot be a Christian if he inflicts punishment on behalf of the State. The Bible, in the Sermon on the Mount makes that abundantly clear. ( Matthew 7:1-7)

The Christian community breathed a collective sigh of relief, when Howard departed. We were ashamed of his conduct. We were and still are ashamed of the way that the Liberals treated refugees, old people, and were hoarding money, and the one thing that would have pleased Almighty God the most, would have been for KR to have restored Christian juries, in every court.
Hawke removed the Queen’s name from all legislation enacted after 7th January 1991. He was rolled in December of that year, and Keating set about reforming heaps of laws. He amended the Trade Practices Act 1974 to extend it to Local Government and the Public Service, he defined the word business to include all government activity, in the Evidence Act 1995, but he did not reform the judicial system, and the Christians revolted.

Julia may not come to Christ but she should heed his teachings, because they have stood the test of time. Tony should read his Bible regularly, and abolish the Judges of the Old Testament, so beloved of Jews and Muslims, and install the judges of the New Testament in courts

This past week, I emailed Julia about a Sri Lankan couple, who have been pressured and frightened into returning to India. They are Tamils and deadly scared of their own Government. India will accept them. She has been busy I know, but one stroke of the Prime Ministerial pen, and the utter stupidity of Chris Evans and his dead beat department could be instantly reversed. His dead beat Department is currently threatening other residents of Sri Lankan with deportation, and these Public Servants should be severely chastised. If Julia is defeated it will be because she is a closet racist, not because she has red hair.

Julia can read, she is after all a lawyer. Why in God’s name does she allow public servants to offend against S 268:11 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 which bans deportation and other forcible transfer of population, on pain of 17 years imprisonment. The Minister can deport people, but only after they have been convicted. The Migration Act 1958, in S 200 says The Minister may order the deportation of a non-citizen to whom this Division applies.

However, the conditions that follow, s 201 says that the the Minister may deport a person who has been here less that ten years if that person “has been convicted”, in 203 on security grounds, 203 serious offences. (2) S 200 does not apply to a Non citizen, unless the Minister has served a Notice of Deportation on a person.

This Government is incapable of obeying the laws of the Commonwealth. The Liberals nobbled the Courts and made them totally ineffectual by S 474 of the Migration Act 1958, on Howards watch, in 2001. He had to tampa with the Courts. He was headed for a monumental defeat in 2004, but an avowed athesit was made leader of the ALP. He eventually lost in 2007. While Rudd was reforming, he was good, but he stalled. We can again be ashamed of ourselves collectively, for the way we treat aboriginal Australian, and our guests in this essentially decent and Christian country. Will Julia see the light

The reason I am so passionate about Christianity is that it makes so much sense. You shall have no God but me, said the Lord, The English took that on board, and insisted that the King and all his privies shall have no jurisdiction over any mans estate. That was in 1640. Habeas Corpus Act 1640. That was so that no Judge, who was in English Law, the delegate of the KING, could arbitrarily punish another so that the King’s peace would reign throughout the Realm.

Even the Muslims and the Jews believe that, but they have no answer to the separation of powers, promoted by Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, as the champion of democracy proposed and told us that in a Christian court, there would be a Judge representing His Father, which art in heaven, so that his will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. So that the words of John 5: 22 and 23, are given effect, and the promise of Jesus Christ to remain with us always, is fulfilled when twelve people gather on the right hand of the Father represented by a Judge.

The spirit of the Constitution is that the word court be understood in its Christian connotation, as it appears 21 times in Ch III. This is the court of the Bible, in Psalm 92 Verse 13. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. Part of the argument establishing the “ Kable Principle” was that the Parliament is a court.

Tony is already planted in a House of the Lord. Julia should get planted, in one also and give herself an even break. Being planted in Parliament is one thing, and they get a bit of Bible instruction there, from Standing orders 43 and 50 which includes the passage from the Sermon on the Mount. If they all took their membership of Parliament and their Oath of Allegiance to the Queen, as God’s representative seriously, we would have nothing to fear in this country. God Save our Gracious Queen

Geoff,
I do not believe Julia's assention to PM is one of circumstances.

I think Julia is a very careful, creative and extremely political person who would have carefully created mulitple opportunities for her to ascend to power.

Looking back at the way Kevin Rudd was forced to compromise on things like the ETS, suggests to me that there were many other instances when he was undermined and manipulated into not achieving the things he set out to do. I think that in the end, Kevin was isolated by the party power players rather than being the one-man-band that the media portrayed. It appears to me to be to be a severe case of workplace bullying.

Julia is a very astute pollie, a real player, and she plays to win. She is a poll driven, articulate politician. It will be interesting to see what kind of PM, or leader of opposition, she will make.

Gillard sold us down the river!! The deal she did reduces the forecasted revenues from mining down from $20bill, to just $4bill. They include $6bill as income from commodities, but that is determined by current reduced commodities being sold due to the mining industries' reduced investment of the last few months while politicking this BS. In short, for a few million dollars in advertising, the Australian public have (as usual) bought the BS, and we are now down $16bill in revenues, by changing PM's. Not a bad investment for the mining companies, is it?

I mean, where else were they going to go to get their resources?!? It was us that had them over a barrel, but they convinced the Australian public that they had us over the proverbial barrel.

And my money says that the Libs will win the next elections anyway, despite deals done with Gillard. The Libs will be negotiating as we speak to further reduce that miserable $4bill to nothing, and therefore will win their financial support to win the next election.
