Gun Control Australia Calls for Boycott on Travels to America – Video

It’s like anything else you don’t believe in or support – if it goes against your values system, then you hit them in the wallet where it hurts most – you boycott! And that is exactly what Gun Control Australia Director, Samantha Lee, is calling for – ending all unnecessary trips to America until Americans, particularly those in the Republican party and their NRA buddies, realize that their inaction on gun violence is literally killing the nation!

“We have 2.1 million Australians visiting the U.S. every year and over 200,000 expats in America. So I believe we have a duty to respond to this tragedy in the U.S. And the way to do this is have a boycott of non-essential travel to the U.S.”

“Millions of dollars are donated by the [National Rifle Association], particularly to the Republican party [in America] In Australia, we need to be cautious that we also don’t take any donations from the firearms industry, and we need to raise this issue with the U.S.”

Commuters Lift Train to Save Man’s Trapped Leg – PICS and Amazing Video

An unbelievable scene, and a very important lesson on coming together to work towards a common goal.

Commuters and railway staff teamed up to free a man by rocking a train carriage to free his leg after he became trapped between the platform and a carriage on Wednesday morning.

The man was boarding a rush hour train at Stirling station, 9km northwest of Perth, Western Australia, at 8.50am when he slipped and one leg became wedged in the gap.

Quick-thinking passengers and staff saved the man leg’s, as it was being squeezed by the 90-tonne of train, by collectively rocking the carriage.

Judge Says Incest and Pedophilia Will Soon Be Accepted as Gays

It was said in Australia by a District Judge, but similar opinions have been expressed here in the US by many elected officials.

District Court Judge Garry Neilson was caught on tape offering his view that just as same-sex relationships were once considered socially unacceptable, sexual contact between adults and children or siblings may no longer be regarded by society as unnatural or taboo.

…a jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with other men and was now ‘available,’ not having [a] sexual partner.

Jed Horne, Policy and Project Officer at New South Wales Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby, told Australia’s Star Observer that “the comments attributed to the judge are completely unacceptable.”

Not only do they make a highly offensive comparison between being gay and sexual offences, but they are an affront to members of the community which have experienced sexual abuse in their lives.

Australia Admits – Faulty Equipment Used in Search for Missing MH370

The Australian government has been forced into an embarrassing admission that equipment used in the mammoth hunt for the wreckage of flight MH370 has been plagued by technical defects.

The revelation comes 68 days after the Boeing 777 disappeared from tracking systems, costing authorities around the world hundreds of millions of dollars.

In a statement released on Thursday by the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, a federal government initiative set up specifically for the MH370 search, it was announced that some of the tracking gear on defence ship ADV Ocean Shield was flawed.

It comes as the Australian government dedicated $89.9 million in the 2014 budget to continue the search for MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean. The Government estimates that it will have spent $10million already by June 30 this year, according to Australian Aviation.

An Actual Court Case In Australia – LOL

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus.

She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her.  

She immediately moved to another seat.

This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.  

The man seemed more amused.  

When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing,

she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. 
  

The case came up in court. 
 

The judge asked the man (about 20 years old)

what he had to say for himself.

The man replied,

‘Well your Honor, it was like this:

when the lady got on the bus,

I couldn’t help but notice her condition.  

She sat down under a sign that said,

‘The Double Mint Twins are coming’ and I grinned. 

Then she moved and sat under a sign that said,

‘Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling,’ and I had to smile.

Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said,

‘William’s Big Stick Did the Trick,’ and I could hardly contain myself.

  But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time

and sat under a sign that said,

‘Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!’

… I just lost it.’ 
 

‘CASE DISMISSED!!’
