No I dont actually. Marilyn is a lady who has done a lot of work with migrants detention centers and apparently worked with Andrew Bartlett. Her work was and probably still is tireless. I spoke with her at lenghth on a few occassions and was amazed by the waiste of funds going on silly things. I was even more amazed that she saw nothing wrong with it. One thing we disagreed with was a womens husband being especially escourted to visit her in a hotel room for a party because he could not be there when she had their third or fourth child. This involved sercurity gaurds special food and the bill was huge. http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=marilyn+shepard+migrants+&btnG=Google+Search&meta=cr%3DcountryAU Posted by People Against Live Exports & Intensive Farming, Monday, 18 February 2008 10:42:39 PM

It's a very small world. I believe I've met Marilyn Shepherd! We certainly have contacts in common.
I will get in touch with her; it might be the appropriate thing to let her know that you have been quoting her...or misquoting her. You know and I know, that Marilyn Shepherd would NEVER suggest that migrants/refugees would be 'demanding Doctors/Lawyers houses....,etc,etc. Posted by Ginx, Monday, 18 February 2008 11:52:39 PM

Feel free to contact anybody you wish. Her comments are public record. Our invitations to assist with aboriginal people and her lack of interest are also a matter of record. Her basic dislike for the average hard working Ausies are also. The misuse of welfare money is a huge worry in this country. Welfare was supposed to meant for those in real need not for people to come to Australia and demand welfare Drs free accomadation medication that is unvailable to the australian Elderly. Its outragous. I was listening to a lady who contacted John Laws just before he retired and her friends were forced to sell their home to pay for expensive medication denied them as Australian pensioners but freely handed out to migrants. Thats so Wrong. These people were trying to save their daughters life but being Aussie didnt matter to the Government. John Laws was really paying out the Government about it-Good On him. These parents were very elderly and I cant imagine being forced to sell the family home to get the medication which was around six thousand dollars a month while migrants were freely supplied without any questions would not be the final straw for them. Australia is a giving country. However we should not treat migrants better than our own. Discusting! Posted by People Against Live Exports & Intensive Farming, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 1:01:06 AM

Dear
People Against Live Exports & Intensive Farming. The question is not if I am happy or not but if I am not happy for the right reasons. It is seemed that you do not understand very well what I say. I think you are not very familiar with modern ideas about humans, human society, in other case you could understand me very well. I am not the only person who is not happy in this country. It is not bad if some is not happy, all people who did not vote Howard was not happy with him and voted for change. Do not worry for the people who are not happy, because they push our society, our civilization forward. They are the builders, the creators of our future. If you think that everything is OK and we should stay where we are now, you make a huge mistake. NONE CAN BLOCK THE CHANGES WHICH MUST BE DONE. Smart, open mind people had to thanks me because I highlight, I write for things which we can not ignore, I press for things which must be done sooner or later, if we want to avoid future problems. About the street names, if I travel for 50.000 meters and I can not see any street with non Anglo Saxon name then there is a problem. We call it FULL IGNORANCE OF MIGRANTS CONTRIBUTION IN THIS COUNTRY, but ignoring about the half population of this country is not very good or smart policy.

You know it’s really clear you are not happy here in Australia.
Now that said -
You raise the issue of ATSIC having been dismantled and posted the doc of it being rise to UN.
Clearly that was important to you or you would not have raised it.
So we inform you we work with the Muslim Leaders who you claim to support.
We also tell you of projects to help the aboriginal people that you already told us you personally were involved in taking the matter to UN.
Then you would have us believe suddenly you’re more interested in Street names. Huh what happened to your interest in Aboriginals?
Rest assured ASymeonakis, you are excused. I didn’t expect you to answer any other way.

Yep No worries - just search the work done by Marilyn Shepard. It’s all there for you.

PALE...
On the issue of street names. In Malaysia, they went through a phase of re-naming most or many of the old English names from the colonial period... but there is one area which still amazes me... that I thought would have been changed for sure.

Some times little buddy you totally confuse me. It’s really disappointing that you post comments that cant be taken any other way but as insulting.
I agree in theory with ‘some of what you say but then you blow it all by making such statements as these.
I think it was a great honor and they are well known for their work with the West
There havebe many sucesful co joint ventures between muslims and Christian churches there to help the poor.
