Rapist acquitted of two charges on appeal over Lakes Entrance incident

A MAN who was convicted of raping a woman four times while he was staying with bikie friends at a Lakes Entrance motel has had a partial victory today in the Court of Appeal.

The court acquitted Steven Halamboulis, 45, of two of the rapes, which were alleged to have occurred in the motel swimming pool, after finding the evidence was "somewhat confused''.

Justices Peter Buchanan, Paul Coghlan and Peter Almond said Halamboulis was at the motel in February 2007 with friends from the Black Uhlans and the victim arrived to buy drugs.

She told a jury she was given a spiked drink and went into the swimming pool feeling dizzy when four or five men she had seen wearing black jackets with patches on the back came into the pool naked.

The appeal court said the victim's description of a man who raped her in the swimming pool did not match Halamboulis and she was badly affected by drugs and alcohol at the time.

"The inconsistencies in the complainant's version of events, the barrier to clear recollection posed by her consumption of alcohol and drugs and discrepancies (in the evidence) constituted solid obstacles,'' the court said.

The judges rejected Halamboulis's appeal against conviction on the other rape counts which occurred when the woman went into a unit to get dressed.

Hamboulis claimed he had consensual sex in the unit with the victim after she entered in her underwear and felt his genitals but the appeal court said it was not an issue at the trial whether Halamboulis believed she had consented.

Halamboulis, of Reservoir, was found guilty by a County Court jury in March last year of four counts of rape.

The appeal court reduced Halamboulis's original sentence of 10 years with a six-year minimum to six years with a minimum of four years.

He has already served over 880 days in custody.

Another case where the government lets out criminals out into the community to create more havoc.

The government propaganda machine, the corporate media, is on the bandwagon for laws that apparently discourage sexual crimes, i.e. internet censorship, but when these criminals are caught, they are set free.

Another government failure to protect its citizens.

Judges should be made personally responsible, and governments sued for any crimes that are committed by the people they release.

Dad banned from asking his daughter about school

A DAD has been banned from asking his daughter, 13, about her school reports.

The Family Court also banned him from forcing her and her brother, 11, to eat all of their dinner.

The court heard that the girl has an intellectual disability, an IQ significantly below average, and is behind in her education. Her brother is a gifted student.

The mother, saying the father was in denial about their daughter's disorder, asked the court to order him not to quiz her about school reports, in order to prevent damage to her self-esteem.

In a judgment published last week, Justice Stuart Fowler ordered the dad be allowed copies of the reports, but not discuss them and her progress at school with her.

"The father is only permitted to discuss the school reports and progress of (the daughter) with the mother or the school teachers," he said.

As well as restraining him from forcing the children to eat all their food, Justice Fowler ordered that he not abuse or physically discipline the children, insist they do tasks beyond them, or smoke or drink in front of them.

Both parents were also banned from denigrating the other and from discussing their relationship breakdown in front of the children.

The court, sitting in NSW, heard that the father had spent time in jail for kidnapping a child of another relationship. It heard he suffers from bipolar disorder.

His contact with the children must be supervised by his mother or his ex-wife's mother. Justice Fowler said he made the decision in order to provide the daughter with as comfortable an atmosphere as possible.

The father has appealed.

The education system created for the children of the masses has the purpose of creating the next generation of non-thinkers and labourers.

Laws are being created to diminish the rights of parents to their own children, and fathers are being seen as criminals.

These laws are deliberately being put in place to disassemble the family unit for there is much o be gained by this.

By all rights, no parent should ask for their child's grades, as this so called harmful effect could be applied across the board.

These laws pave the way for precedence, to create dysfunctional families, which is one of the goals of the ruling elite.

Gunfight linked to bikie leader shooting

A bikie shooting at an Adelaide cafe was related to a marital dispute, the restaurant's owner says.

Associates of the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang were sitting at Cafe Paesano in North Adelaide on Sunday night, when one of them opened fire at a man who was approaching them, police said.

Cafe Paesano part-owner Gianni Cavuoto, who went to the restaurant after the attack, believes the shooting was related to a marital dispute.

Mr Cavuoto said he was worried about patronage, but the shooting had not affected bookings.

"It's business as usual. The show goes on," Mr Cavuoto told AAP on Monday.

He said there was no damage at the restaurant, and police had taken the cafe's surveillance footage of the incident, which happened about 9.40pm.

Mr Cavuoto said the shooting could have happened anywhere but a patron of the cafe said the bikies were regulars.

Police Assistant Commissioner Grant Stevens refused to confirm whether the men exchanged gunfire, but media reports said the approaching man fired first and was shot in the leg.

Mr Stevens said the man who approached the cafe, and who was known to the Comanchero associates, fled the scene after being wounded.

He was pursued by the gunman and further shots were fired, Mr Stevens said.

SA Opposition Leader Isobel Redmond said the attack was shocking and unacceptable.

"Not only does someone come into a restaurant with a weapon, but even more (shocking is) that someone in the restaurant has a weapon and returns fire," she told journalists on Monday.

Mr Stevens said police believed the incident was connected to Thursday's shooting of Comanchero leader Vincenzo Focarelli, who remains in hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.

But Mr Stevens denied there was an escalating war between rival bikie gangs.

"These incidents can be tracked to specific disputes in that (bikie) context, (but) this is not a bikie war where we have warring gangs, drawing lines in the sand," he told journalists on Monday.

He said the shootings, including an incident on Saturday morning when three men wearing balaclavas fired shots into a house at Burton in Adelaide's north, were isolated events.

Another example of how the drug wars are spilling out onto the streets, where innocent people can get hurt.

The police are fully aware of the movements of these criminals, but do not incarcerate them.

Another government failure to keep the general populous safe, or is that not on the agenda anymore?

Julia Gillard Australia’s first lesbian Prime Minister

Once Julia Gillard’s office time has expired, she will be remembered for many accolades, including Australia’s first female Prime Minister.

Gillard will be remembered, as a Prime Minister not elected by the nation, but by the bribery of the last two politicians who had the balance in their hands, to the astonishment of the motherland (England), a deliberately not reported fact by Australia’s mass media.

Gillard will also be remembered for saying that she will not introduce the carbon tax if in office, a tax that the general public will face as of 2012.

In the opinions of the masses her nick name is quite simply Ju – Liar, not that this fact has any relevance to the ruling elite.

Another lesser well known fact to the general populous , a fact well known within the office of Gillard, and her tight knit community is also supported by her self-admission, is that of her sexual orientation, i.e. being a lesbian.

Her official partner Tim Mathieson is nothing more than a farce in front of the masses. Australia’s roots in governance are that of the Judeo-Christian faith, yet the current Prime Minister serves no faith. What better way to fast track the new gay and lesbian laws than under the leadership of a lesbian Prime Minister.

The corporate media, being subservient to the governments of the day, generally steers clear of the personal topics of government leaders, whilst exposing details of Mr. Joe Average’s 15 minutes of fame in the spotlight, for whatever ground breaking story the editors see fit to print to publicly discredit the individual.

Over 70% of Australia’s corporate media is in the (political) hands of the Rupert Murdoch media empire, the rest being divided between Packer and Stokes.

Stories of significance can be approved at the boardroom level, at the brotherhood’s lodge level, or approved by the political party’s government representatives the print media is sympathetic to.

Upon the death of Sir Zelman Cowen, hailed as the nation’s healer, The Age newspaper (Liberal bias), ran a first page article, whilst the Herald Sun (Labour bias) newspaper ran a column on the inside pages.

In the new age of non discrimination together with sexual freedom for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex, these facts should be reported with pride and not taboo.

The block renovations fraud

Yet another Australian television series is in the practice of fraud, this time in renovations.

Information has been obtained from sources from within the industry that the contestants on the show renovated a dwelling. In actual fact the producers and all involved were aware that this couple could not even paint their nails let alone do any renovations to the promises, so the show’s producers hired a labour team to do the renovations for them. Naturally this was done with the utmost secrecy, in order not to expose the show’s fraud.

Many shows on Australian television involve deceptive practices, but it is the general policy not to expose these sorts of dealings, as the purpose of the shows is to generate income, in the form of advertising for the networks and their producers once they are aired.

Another real estate program has been found out to be practicing fraud, in the form of price fixing, but yet again not jail time is seen. Another bingo program was found to be fraudulent, by an ‘average’ member of the general community. It is very difficult to imagine the show’s producers were unaware of this fact, especially since it was detected by a normal person.

Under Australian law, fraud is a criminal act, which can be punishable with incarceration

Corrupt judges accepting bribes

In the legal system many cases ‘mysteriously’ get dismissed or there is not enough evidence to prosecute the offending party, in legal procedures which are not followed by judges or magistrates.

In an insight into many cases, the judges or magistrates from traffic infringement courts all the way to the high courts of Australia are accepting bribes for lenient or dismissed sentences.

The government officials are accepting bribes ranging from notebooks to goods and services rendered at their premises in the exchange for dismissing of matters.

Legal firms are also in on it, in that they suggest to the guilty party that if they cooperate in a manner that both the legal firm and/or the presiding judge benefits, the case will be dropped.

This practice has been going on for quite some time in the courts and since some people may be ready to come out publicly, the response has been the judges are now apparently going to have their phone tapped.

This is quite ludicrous as this verbose action only warns the corrupt judges to seek alternative actions in committing the serious offence of contempt of court.

In some high profile criminal cases, police allegedly commit administrative errors, with the blessing from their superiors, to let the case slip, in essence supporting the criminal’s actions.

Further insult to injury is that the government allows the cash flow from the proceedings of crime to be kept by the allocated personnel of the crime syndicate.

What seems to the general public, as a clerical error is a well orchestrated plan by both the authorities and the legal system to let out the ‘Mr. Bigs’ of the organised crime world.

Even if the corrupt judges and police are named, they will be supported by their brethren, and the legal system, to commit further crimes.

Corey Worthington friend accused of excavator rampage

A FORMER pal of party-boy Corey Worthington is accused of causing $570,000 damage with another man after they allegedly stole a front-end loader and excavator from an industrial site and went on a destructive rampage.

Christopher Oscuro, 21, and another man who has not been charged, allegedly broke into the Coates hire site at Langwarrin South yesterday and after commandeering the machines and flattening a $65,000 work shed, they left the earth movers on fire, Melbourne Magistrates Court heard.

Mr Oscuro is also accused of leaving his car on nearby railroad tracks which was subsequently hit by a passing goods train about 4am, the court heard.

One of the ruined machines was worth $200,000 and the other was valued at $300,000, the court was told.

Also destroyed in the trail of destruction was a $5000 generator belonging to Coates, charge sheets before the court state.

Mr Oscuro, who sat in court sporting a tattoo down his left arm, had a part-time labouring job and worked nights at Coles, the court heard.

The young man was released on bail and, holding a hard hat and other possessions in a prison-issue plastic bag, raced through a TV media crew outside court.

As well as theft, arson and reckless conduct, Mr Oscuro was also charged with driving whilst disqualified.

Mr Oscuro has also been charged with using methamphetamine, or ice, as well as marijuana the day before the machinery heist at the centre of the charges.

Chief Magistrate Ian Gray described the incidents as an "extremely high seriousness of actual offending" but released Mr Oscuro on bail, on condition he live with his mother in Pakenham, abide by a 10pm to 6am curfew and report to police twice weekly.

He was told not to associate with any co-accused person in the matter and to return to court on March 1.

Mr Oscuro had a falling out with former friend Corey Worthington - who gained national attention for his nonplussed attitude in hosting a MySpace party at Narre Warren which attracted 500 riotous teenagers.

Mr Oscuro last year claimed Mr Worthington had spat on his car and attacked it with a bed post outside his house, as well as the pair having a disagreement over a girl.

Another example of how the government is supporting crime, by setting the example that there are no consequences to one's criminal actions.

This is a deliberate policy employed by governance to degrade the youth of the masses, ultimately into slavery. This is done at a level that most of the general populous are not conscious of.

Corey Worthington shot to fame by being promoted by the mass media, to let other sheep follow him. As a result he was recruited by a promotions manager, who made more than 10 time the amount given to Corey.

Another puppet in the corporate arena.

Police yet to talk to burnout hoon

A HOON accused of a bridal burnout has used the cover of dark to remove his hotted-up Holdens from his home in a bid to prevent police seizing it.

The move appeared to be a bid to prevent police seizing it.

But it was a wasted effort with police admitting they could no longer impound the cars under the state’s hoon laws because they had waited too long.

“He moved the cars out at 11 o’clock last night,” neighbour Gina said.

“He had a tray truck come down and he put the red one on it and then he came back and got the white one after that.

“He’s not been home (since) … he’s done a runner.”

Gina said if police had acted when they were first given the video, "it wouldn’t have got to this and these cars would have been impounded.”

Earlier, police admit their inaction meant they are unable to strip him of his cars.

Police have 10 days from the date of an offence to seize cars under the state's hoon laws.

Eighteen days after they were first given footage of a local hoon, and 18 months after Taylors Hill residents first complained about the hoon, police are yet to speak with him or anyone else at the house.

Meanwhile, the family who gave footage of the hoon to the Herald Sun in a bid to force police to act were subjected to a frightening attack just hours after the Herald Sun was confronted by the suspected hoon on Tuesday.

A 6kg box of explosive fireworks was ignited outside their home at 11.11pm on Tuesday.

Once again the family said they had difficulty getting police to attend.

"We are all shaking," 'Gina' said.

"(It) took two phone calls to the police to get them down here and when they arrived we copped the comment, 'Oh. we thought it was just kids letting off crackers'.

"Seriously ... does that box look like crackers to you?" Gina added that it was the second box of fireworks to have been set off against their fence.

Other neighbours said hoons were active almost every day and night, with two parked cars written off in the street because of high-speed crashes.

"It's scary ... there's lots of families in the area who have little kids," Joanne Gurman said.

"Somebody will eventually get killed. I'm waiting for a car to come through my bedroom window."

Residents said their pleas for speed humps in the street to stop cars speeding at up to 100km/h had been ignored.

Caroline Springs Supt Graham Kent said police had not interviewed the driver about his behaviour.

Although it was too late to seize the cars under hoon laws, Supt Kent said the video could still be used as evidence to build a case against the man.

What seems as lack of police action, is actually the support of the criminal act.

The police are fully aware that by delaying any action, the criminals cannot be bought before the courts.

By so called inaction the police are letting the criminal free, only to terrorise more victims.

It has also been alleged that the perpetrators are harassing the victims, another non-action on the behalf of the police, to charge the persons involved.

There are many more similar examples that are not bought up by the mass media, in order not to raise the inefficiencies of the government's police force in what would be an exposé of the government not protecting its citizens.

This could be seen as an action which may cause civil unrest, which cannot be initiated under any circumstances by the government sponsored corporate media.

Smugglers' sales pitch to lure refugees

ALMOST 1000 asylum seekers have arrived in 17 days, some of them expecting to be freed into the community within months.

As the latest boat arrived yesterday with 76 people aboard, it emerged smugglers had promised visas, housing and internet access.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the only way to stop the boats was for Opposition Leader Tony Abbott to back her plan to change the Migration Act to allow offshore processing of asylum seekers.

"We said without that power there'd be more boats," Ms Gillard told the Herald Sun.

Yesterday a Hazari detainee in the nation's newest detention centre, at Wickham Point, Darwin, said he knew the Malaysia deal had collapsed and that he expected to be given a visa.

The refugee, 21, recently arrived from Pakistan after paying people smugglers $4000 in Indonesia. He expected to be out of detention within four months and released into the community.

"The country of Malaysia is not good. If this was possible (being sent to Malaysia) then I would be back home, not in Malaysia," he said.

At Wickham asylum seekers sleep two to a room in airconditioned shipping containers.

It is believed the top three questions being asked by those who have arrived since the Government announced bridging visas last month was when will they get a visa, a house and internet access.

Refugees complained the new centre's 40 computers were not enough and four English classes were insufficient.

A Iranian engineer, 34, said he paid $15,000 to people smugglers in the Middle East and used multiple fake passports before boarding a boat in Indonesia, but he said he had been given no specific promises.

He said people smugglers offered to take him to France or Australia but he decided reaching Australia was easier.

"In my country I have a house and a car," he said. "I had one problem, I had to leave my country, some people could kill me."

Mr Abbott toured the $200 million Wickham centre yesterday and called on Prime Minister Julia Gillard to immediately reintroduce the temporary protection visas from the Howard Government.

"This would immediately mean much less of a pull factor for people currently waiting across the Indonesian archipelago," he said.

A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Bowen attacked the Coalition for not supporting law changes to allow the Malaysia people swap after it was struck down in the High Court.

"All the expert advice is that the Malaysia arrangement would be a genuinely effective deterrent to prevent these boat journeys," he said.

Illegal immigrants, i.e. criminals are being treated better than the native citizens of Australia.

Australia is fulfilling its role in the new order of the world of globalisation, and settling in criminals, to the danger of the generals populous.

From the previous migration waves, Australia has imported some of the worst criminals from the Middle East and Asia.

These crime gangs run the drug cartels with full knowledge of the police / authorities, with the government idly standing by.

There are no orders to wipe out the drug trade, but rather to have it at a manageable level, with only the 'top dog' operators, and heads of government being involved.

Home care fraud rampant

The home care industry in Australia is very lucrative as it largely exists with the help of government handouts to the business operators who are in essence placed by government heads.

Many of these business owners are cooking the books both ways, defrauding both the government and the customers. This is done in full knowledge of various authorities.

Information has been obtained from persons within the industry that home care business owners are operating fraudulently in a variety of methods.

A large auditing / accounting firm was ordered to look at the books of a few of Melbourne’s eastern suburbs home care businesses. Upon initial investigations it was found that these businesses would be shut down and their operators facing court.

Since many individuals in government support the charity industry, it was decided against the official looking into (auditing) of the businesses, purely from a business perspective.

It was also found that these businesses are employing migrant labour, predominantly Indian, for the paltry sum of $5 per hour not on the record book, to engage in domestic house chores.

Operators are also fraudulently obtaining government funds for claimed nonexistent services, as well as monies being allocated to staff is grabbed for private affairs.

These businesses predominantly operate under the multicultural banner, registered in both the eastern and western suburbs of Melbourne.

Since these people have government liaisons, they are above the law and hence prosecution.
