Same Law - One for the rich one for the masses

People are living in a delusion if they believe that the same law is enforced in the same manner for the ruling elite, business, financial, criminal sector as it is for the masses, i.e. The Joneses, The John Does, and in general the community at large.

The law is structured in such a manner that it punishes abiding citizen, for committing the SAME crime as the more influential members of the community, being it thought the help of the (masonic) brotherhood, or any other influential sources.

Here is a list (all factual) compiled that clearly shows the deliberate short fall of the law:

The drink-driving offence was his fifth traffic violation since March 2006, the court heard.
Magistrate Alan Taylor heard defence arguments that any conviction would jeopardise Langer's prospects for international travel and would therefore threaten his career. Mr Taylor said Langer's eagerness to plead guilty entitled him to "some discount" and no conviction was recorded.

Singleton did not offer any form of mitigation, such as that he might have been speeding to a hospital because a passenger had suffered a heart attack. Without an apparent sign of contrition, Singleton merely said that it was perfectly safe to drive his Bentley on that road at that speed

Anton Faber-Castell, all of 17 years old and newly licensed, drove his father's BMW 740i on Sydney's 100kph speed limited F3 freeway at an astonishing 200kph and was clocked twice at that speed by police radar. He only held a probationary driving licence, which meant that he was not permitted to drive over 90kph at any time. Normally probationary drivers automatically lose their licences if they are caught driving at any speed over the posted limit. The maximum penalty for driving at such an excessive speed as 200kph is a $2200 fine, nine months in jail and licence disqualification for three years. However Faber-Castell's penalty was even more astonishing. He was given a 12 month good behaviour bond, his conviction was not recorded and he was ordered to pay $56 in court costs and incredibly, the magistrate even allowed him to keep his licence. Any reasonable person would wonder why Faber-Castell received such a pittance of a penalty instead of having the book thrown at him by the magistrate. Could it be because Anton Faber-Castell is the heir to the German Faber-Castell stationery manufacturing fortune and his extremely wealthy family has great influence?

Woman accuses airport security of ogling

Man reportedly made lewd comments after co-worker strayed into device

A security worker at London's Heathrow Airport has received a police warning and faces disciplinary action over claims he ogled a female colleague using a full-body scanner, officials said on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old worker made lewd comments after his colleague Jo Margetson, 29, mistakenly strayed into the scanner, which can see through clothes to produce an image of the body, the Sun newspaper reported.

The case is believed to be the first of its kind since the full-body scanners were rushed into service at a number of British airports in the wake of an attempt by a suspected Muslim extremist to blow up a plane bound for Detroit on December 25.

They are now being rolled out at airports across the world.

Details of the incident at Heathrow's Terminal 5 on March 10 emerged on the day lawmakers said concerns that the scanners were intrusive had been overblown.

Margetson told the Sun she had been "traumatized" by what had happened and had informed police and her bosses at the airport's operator BAA.

"We treat any allegations of inappropriate behaviour or misuse of security equipment very seriously and these claims are being investigated thoroughly," said a spokeswoman for BAA.

"If found to be substantiated, we will take appropriate action."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said officers had been informed of the allegation and "a first instance harassment warning has been issued to a 25-year-old man."

Opponents of scanners have argued since their introduction that they risked breaching individuals' rights to privacy. Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission has already said they might be breaking discrimination and privacy laws.

"For every official caught ogling like this, there are plenty more eyeing up law-abiding travellers," Alex Deane, director of the Big Brother Watch campaign group, told the Sun.

"These expensive machines are totally disproportionate."

The government says staff using the machines are properly supervised and would not be able to see the person being scanned. All images are deleted.

Britain's parliamentary Home Affairs Committee said fears about the scanners were misplaced and they should be introduced at a faster pace to deal with the threat of terrorism.

"The Committee is satisfied that the privacy concerns that have been expressed in relation to these devices are overstated and ... should not prevent the deployment of scanners," it said in a report.

Tensions mount as Gold Coast cabbie charged

Racial tensions among cab drivers on the Gold Coast are reportedly at boiling point after an Indian driver was charged with kidnapping five female passengers.

The 24-year-old driver was charged with five counts of deprivation of liberty after he allegedly held the five women over disputed fares, the Courier Mail reports.

The charges have angered Indian drivers on the coast, with strike action being threatened over the perceived victimisation of their colleague.

Police say the driver picked up five women earlier this month and drove them from Southport to Surfers Paradise.

"When they reached their destination, the driver asked for payment but the passengers have disputed the amount," a police spokeswoman told the Mail.

"It's alleged the driver then locked the doors of the taxi and drove the passengers around Surfers Paradise."

One of the alleged victims used a phone to alert police who then charged the driver.
He will appear in Southport Magistrates Court on April 7.

An Indian taxi driver told the newspaper the man should not have been charged.

"It is impossible to lock someone in a cab so I don't know how it is kidnapping," Gurwinder Singh said, adding that Indian drivers were being abused by passengers on a constant basis.

The CEO of Gold Coast Cabs, Martin O'Riordan, confirmed to the newspaper drivers felt they were not being treated fairly and that there was some unrest amongst them.

"The Indian drivers believe the police don't listen to them as effectively as other people in the community because of their racial background," Mr O'Riordan told the Mail.

He confirmed strike action has been threatened..


ninemsn 29 Mar 2010

Locking the doors is false imprisonment, a criminal offence.

There is a total ommission by the mass media that racism DOES exist in the Indian community.

There is (unjustified) pressure for Australians NOT to be racist against the Indian community but not the other way around.

Uzbek HIV outbreak infects 147 toddlers

An AIDS outbreak at two children's hospitals in Uzbekistan has killed at least 14 children and left 133 infected with HIV, according to a documentary posted on a respected Central Asian news website on Monday.

The editor of Ferghana.ru said the 2007 outbreak was first reported in an official documentary produced by Uzbek prosecutors for government television.

But, he said, the video never aired because authorities had second thoughts about broadcasting it, fearing that it would provoke a public outcry and unfavourable international publicity.

The documentary posted on Ferghana.ru reported that 12 doctors and nurses at two hospitals in the eastern city of Namangan were convicted of treating the children with contaminated medical equipment.

According to the narrator, the health workers were sentenced to prison terms of from five years to eight years and eight months.

Uzbek officials, including prosecutors, did not return repeated phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment.

The AP could not verify the authenticity of the documentary, which would be the first official confirmation of the long-rumoured outbreak, but a former Uzbek television producer said it appeared authentic.

Daniil Kislov, editor of Ferghana.ru, said his site obtained the video from an Uzbek health official after authorities cancelled plans to broadcast it.

Government officials keep a tight grip on the media in Uzbekistan, where President Islam Karimov has ruled for more than 20 years.

Several outbreaks of hospital-transmitted HIV have been reported among children in Central Asia in recent years. Doctors in the region have sometimes prescribed transfusions for routine illnesses.

Similar incidents in Kazakhstan in 2006 and Kyrgyzstan in 2007 left dozens of children infected.

The Uzbek documentary shows a series of men and women, identified as health workers, confessing and saying they deserved harsh sentences. All the interviewees spoke into a microphone with the logo of Uzbek state television.

"I am 1,000 times sorry," one of the nurses said through tears.

"I would not want a single nurse or doctor to repeat those mistakes."

There are also interviews with the mothers of some of the infected children, as well as with a prosecutor.

Ferghana.ru first reported the HIV outbreak in Namangan in October 2007, but at the time officials denied that it had occurred.

Kislov said the video was produced in January 2009, and was obtained from a Health Ministry official who demanded anonymity because he feared persecution by authorities.

"This is a genuine product of Uzbek television," said Alisher Komolov, who worked for the Yoshlar television channel until he left the country in 2006.

Sex offender remains at large in Vic

A sex offender on an extended supervision order remains on the run after absconding from a corrections officer on a visit to Melbourne for medical treatment.

Raymond Warford, also known as Raymond Dean, failed to return to his approved place of residence outside the Ararat Prison in western Victoria after visiting Melbourne for a medical procedure, police said.

It's believed the man slipped out the back door of a cafe at Fairfield, in the city's inner north, when he left his corrections supervisor to go to the toilet.

Warford is described as 172cm tall and 64kg with a medium build, brown collar-length hair, a fair complexion, green eyes and a hesitant, mumbling voice.

He was wearing a black and tan leather-look jacket, faded grey jeans, a black T-shirt and black runners.

Anyone who sights Warford is asked not to approach him but to contact triple-0.

Hailed as one of the worst sex offenders, the law ALLOWS this person to escape, whilst on supervisory leave to a coffee shop.

This legal system is a JOKE. It IS designed to support criminal activity.

IF these rapists would rape and pillage the families of the law makers then and ONLY then would the law change.

The law is indifferent towards crimes committed against the masses.

Government urged to 'end supermarket rip-offs'

Australia's big supermarkets are continuing to rip-off consumers and suppliers and should be regulated by a new industry body, according to the consumer group Choice.

Choice has suggested that the government form a new regulator to enforce fairness and competition in the grocery sector, areas it claims the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) has failed to address.

"There is a need for real leadership on resolving supermarket issues in Australia – rip-off prices, endemic unfairness and the lowest level of competition possible," said Nick Stace, Choice CEO.

"These are industry-specific problems, which economy-wide regulators have been unable or unwilling to tackle head on. It will go on like this for another 100 years unless radical and bold action is taken."

A spokesperson for the Australian National Retailers Association, which represents the big supermarkets, told ninemsn that supermarkets had already made changes.

"Our general feeling is that this duplicates the ACCC," the spokesperson said.

"Changes, such as unit pricing, state and national pricing and reducing restrictive leases, have been made by the supermarkets."

However, Choice spokesperson Christopher Zinn said the ACCC was not doing enough on dealing with the big supermarkets' growing power.

"The problem with the ACCC is that they have been leaning back on dealing with supermarket power," he told ninemsn, adding that the changes made by supermarkets were 'window dressing' that failed to address the real issues.

Mr Zinn added that Choice expected the supermarkets to oppose the move.

"In the UK when the supermarket ombudsman was created, the supermarkets didn’t like it," he said, adding that the big Australian supermarkets had strongly rejected scrutiny of their prices by Grocery Choice, the aborted plan to publish all supermarket prices online.

A retail source told ninemsn that Choice was still smarting from the Grocery Choice debacle. "They are floundering a after the loss of Grocery Choice and this is an attempt to remain relevant in this sector," the source said.

Mr Zinn added that Choice's research suggests that "consumers are not happy with the duopoly" operated by Coles and Woolworths.

Big bank 'monopoly' nets $20 billion from customers

The big four banks are making $20 billion additional profit by gouging customers and are so powerful they are 'immune to competition', according to research.

Australia's big four banks – Westpac, National Australia Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and ANZ – earned around $35 billion in underlying profits last year and now control around 90 percent of the lending market.

Around $20 billion of that profit is being booked as a result of the banks' monopoly of the payments system, an Australia Institute study says.

"With a 90 percent share of the lending market banks are immune from competition which means there’s little to stop them from passing on or increasing costs for customers and growing even more profitable over time," said David Richardson, a senior researcher at the Australia Institute.

Comment: why we need a people's bank now

Mr Richardson added that the speed with which the banks raise interest rates following changes to official interest rates by the Reserve Bank shows the banks' keenness to grab extra profits.

"The banks are using the RBA's decisions on official rates as a pretext for profit-taking," said Mr Richardson.

"While the banks suggest that their borrowing costs increase directly in line with official interest rates this is not entirely accurate. Banks rely on funds from a range of sources, including the zero interest savings and other accounts of their customers, so to suggest that their costs increase directly with increases in official interest rates is clearly an exaggeration."

He added that the banks are immune to competition which means there is nothing to stop them increasing costs for customers.

David Bell, Australian Bankers’ Association CEO, said the Australia Institute report ignores the contribution banks make to the community.

"The Australia Institute report released is a disappointing interpretation of the important role that banks in Australia played during the global financial crisis," he said.

"For an organisation that seeks 'balance' as part of it philosophy, it has produced a polemic that does nothing more than denigrate banks’ contribution to the Australian economy and community."

Mr Richardson said the government should step in and impose additional regulation on the banks.

"It is becoming increasingly clear that simply relying on market forces to reign in the profitability of the banks is doomed to fail," Mr Richardson said.

"Their market share has risen steadily since they were deregulated. It is time for governments to control access to the payments system including caps on the fees banks charge their customers. If necessary it may be useful to introduce a bank rent tax modelled on the resource rent tax."

Dad slams inaction after hospital death

A man whose daughter died because of bungled hospital treatment says the NSW health system has "the mice in charge of the cheese" when it comes to handling complaints.

Warren Anderson's daughter Vanessa was taken to hospital after she was hit by a golf ball, but the 16-year-old died after a doctor misread her chart.

It took an "astronomical" amount of correspondence before any action was taken on his complaints, he said.

"It wasn't until after relentless correspondence that we got something happening," Mr Anderson told an inquiry into the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) in Sydney on Thursday.

"I am up here saying a speech - I should be saying a speech at (Vanessa's) 21st this year, that's where I should be - but I'm not, I am here trying to get to a point where Vanessa's death is going to bring some change."

In 2005 Vanessa, 16, was taken to Royal North Shore hospital after being hit on the head by a golf ball.

Two days later she was dead.

An inquiry found that the teenager died of respiratory failure as a result of "systemic failures" and the inappropriate administration of pain relief.

Mr Anderson questioned the independence of the HCCC, which is run by the NSW government.

"(People say) why go to the HCCC? They are just reporting to the government," he said.

"It's the mice in charge of the cheese, and that is what loses the credibility of the HCCC to the general public."

He also said that the HCCC didn't make the most of its powers.

Aussies deported after boy steals 53 cents

An Australian woman and her two sons will be deported from the US after one of the boys punched a classmate and stole 53 cents.

Tracey Washington and her two boys, aged 13 and 5, have been declared illegal immigrants after she missed a deadline to apply for a green card last May, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Mrs Washington, who moved to San Francisco six years ago to marry husband Charles, claims that immigration authorities had told her a different deadline.

The trio's immigration status was only flagged when the 13-year-old was involved in a schoolyard incident in January where he punched another boy and stole the small sum of money.

He was arrested after the other boy’s family contacted police.

Unfortunately for the Washingtons, San Francisco recently implemented a hardline policy forcing juvenile arrests to be reported to federal immigration authorities.

The uncompromising policy was introduced after the city was accused of being a haven for illegal immigrants.

Mr Washington must stay in the US because of a shared custody agreement with his ex-wife for care of their 12-year-old daughter.

The deportations are set to take place on Friday after the Australian government declined to get involved.

Whilst Australian Law SUPPORTS illegal immigrants, not only committing (petty) crimes,
but also RAPPING and committing violent crimes against Australian citizens AND not punishing them adequately.

Tiger Woods vs Richard Pratt

In a recent Australian TV media circus, a televised apology was given by Tiger Woods.

It was a carefully scripted, non emotional piece of work constructed by the lawyers.

Tiger Woods was crucified by the mass media circus and everything was aired and thrown into the faces of the general populous.

These details are NOT news nor are they really essential to anything really.

ON THE OTHER HAND :

We have someone here in Australia placed VERY HIGH in the SOCIAL TREE, by the name of Richard Pratt, who had a wife AND a MISTRESS, who he had an ILLEGITIMATE child with.

In this society this is unacceptable behaviour and it's called ADULTERY.

BUT

Since Pratt was part of the social ruling elite, there was a blanket ban on reporting any details of his affairs. ALL the people in the immediate social circle were /are aware of his affair.

Pratt was nabbed for a ~ $700,000,000 fraud, BUT only fined 36 million (5%) of the total amount.
