KFC fined $A31,000 over food hygiene

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) was ordered to pay out almost STG19,000 ($A31,000) on Monday after a cockroach was found eating a chip in one of its busiest branches in Britain.

The insect was seen on a food dispensing counter near takeaway boxes and tongs used to serve chicken by an environmental health officer in a restaurant in London's West End.

City of Westminster Magistrates' Court heard that during an inspection at the Leicester Square branch, the officer also saw a mouse, flies and dried chicken blood on the floor.

The Westminster City Council inspector also said there was no hand wash in dispensers in the food preparation area.

"There was no soap in the ground-floor food preparation room so, on the day of the inspection at least, it was not possible for food preparation staff to wash their hands properly," said Michael Goodwin.

The fast food giant admitted breaching five hygiene rules after the inspection in August 2008.

Banks gouge away during crisis: report

A study has revealed that big banks have used the global financial crisis as an excuse to gouge customers while boosting staff pay packets and posting record profits for shareholders.

The University of Canberra study has found banks are overcharging customers through bigger profits on mortgages, higher fees and lower savings rates compared to before the global financial crisis, News Ltd newspapers say.

The study says official statistics prove banks have been lying to the public about their financial health.

"They (Westpac, the Commonwealth, NAB and ANZ) have been crying poor throughout the global financial crisis and yet official data shows that they have been misleading, to put it mildly," said Milind Sathye, professor of banking and finance at the University of Canberra.

The university has used statistics from the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) to monitor the banks' financial well-being.

"This means our conclusions can be openly scrutinised," Professor Sathye said. "The banks, on the other hand, make their arguments based on data that only they can see. And on that basis, they can argue almost anything."

The most recent APRA data shows that, far from cutting back during the crisis, banks actually increased remuneration for management and staff from $14 billion to $16 billion a year - a healthy 14.2 per cent increase - all while millions of ordinary workers were suffering pay freezes or reduced hours.

Banks have also slashed the rates they pay to savers, sometimes by almost half.

Gang rape brother to be freed from jail

One of four Pakistani brothers jailed over the gang rapes of teenage girls in Sydney eight years ago has been granted parole and will be released from prison despite opposition from NSW's head of Corrective Services.

The brothers - who cannot be identified because two were aged under 18 at the time of the sexual assaults - were each convicted over the attacks on two girls aged 16 and 17 in 2002.

Known as MRK, the second youngest brother was 17 when the girls were gang raped at the brothers' Ashfield home in Sydney's inner west on July 28, 2002.

A spokesman for the State Parole Authority on Monday confirmed that the man, now aged 25, was granted parole last Thursday and will be released from Long Bay jail between May 18 and May 25.

"I can confirm that a parole order was made last Thursday," the spokesman told AAP.

MRK was sentenced to serve at least six years and nine months in custody with an earliest possible date of release in July 2007.

The sentence came after a trial that attracted great public interest and in which MRK was convicted of nine counts of aggravated sexual assault in company.

"He has been refused bail in 2007, 2008 and 2009," the spokesman said, adding that in 2009 MRK was convicted of another historical criminal matter while in custody, which delayed his original non-parole period until April 30, 2009.

"In making its decision the authority would have had in mind that his full-time (sentence) expires in July 2012, so there is a need for supervision in the community right through until July 31, 2012."

MRK has been granted parole to live at an approved address, believed to be in Sydney.

NSW Corrective Services Commissioner Ron Woodham had opposed the decision.

"The commissioner opposed the release of (MRK) and made submissions to the State Parole Authority to that effect," a Corrective Services spokesman said on Monday.

The State Parole Authority said the decision came after consultation with the Serious Offenders Review Council, which had been partly responsible for MRK's progress while in custody.

"The parole order includes that he live at an approved address, continue to receive psychological counselling and comply with all conditions of the Child Protection Register," the parole authority spokesman said.

"That order prohibits him from being in the company of any person under the age of 16 unless accompanied by a responsible adult."

MRK is also prevented from contacting or approaching any of his victims or frequenting areas where they live or commonly visit.

After the brothers' sentencing, an investigating police detective described the offences as one of the most violent rapes he had ever investigated.

"No sentence, no matter how harsh, will ever compensate the victim(s)," he said.

MRK immigrated to Australia from Pakistan with his family. He is not expected to be subject to deportation upon release.

His three brothers, aged between one year younger and six years older than him, remain in custody.

NSW shadow attorney-general Greg Smith said he believed the brothers were all Australian citizens and had immigrated "years ago" with their family.

"I'm very concerned that the parole board has been so quick to grant parole in the face of opposition from the corrective services commissioner," Mr Smith told AAP.

He said MRK's involvement - which included detaining the girls and taking away a mobile phone which one of the victims tried to use to call for help - had been denied by the offender throughout his court trial.

"That lack of contrition makes it difficult for him to face any kind of guidance or counselling or rehabilitation," he said.

"He showed a lack of respect for Australian women which is totally unacceptable to the community."

Racist Pakistanis.

The above behavior CLEARLY indicates RACISM.

The politics of the media is to indicate that white's are racist against other nationalities BUT does not show how other nationalities are also racist.

The ANGLO-MASONIC Law System CLEARLY supports criminal activity.

Freemasonry Housing Grab

In a never ending effort to broaden their asset base, the brotherhood has resorted to another entrepreneurial scheme.

This time the victims are pensioners, e.g. little old ladies. The masons target widows who cannot afford the up keep of their homes, and offer them a proposal.

The masons agree to carry out any maintenance work on the property in exchange for the title (or deed) to the property. This is naturally executed in a legally legitimate manner.

The target audience for the freemasons are the ones close to death so that the maintenance of the property does not have to be carried out for too long. From a financial perspective the reward is SIGNIFICANT.

If the average house in a working class suburb in Australia is worth $500,000, the ownership immediately becomes the property of the brotherhood. Maintenance of the property may equate to $5,000 per annum.

If the old lady lives 5 years or is murdered, then the total outlay could equal $25,000.

By that time the property value has increased (approx 20-30% per annum) to over $1,000,000. So from $25,000 to $1,000,000 in 5 years from the freemasons.

Better than ANY stock trading schemes.

Carl Williams - Police Corruption

The death of one of Melbourne's leading 'public' crime figures, Carl Anthony Williams, signifies the end of another loose end in the Melbourne Crime Cartel.

Williams made a deal with authorities, to benefit his family in exchange for names of crime figures AND police that were on his payroll.

The authorities are all aware of who the major players are as members of the police force are in company with major crime identities, at closed door parties.

The Herald Sun on 21/04/2010 prints a story, that it would be an idea that the authorities check the records of prison guards and/or police in order to establish payoffs.

WRONG !!!

Payoffs / bribes / blackmail are done in the new fashion of handing over 'plastic' (card) which the person has been given a PIN and is able to withdraw up to $1000 per day from an account.

Authorities / news media are FULLY AWARE of this fact. This practice has been going on for quite some time.

Governments and authorities have been aware of the activities of these criminals, BUT have deliberately turned a blind eye.

It was only when Carl thought he was too good, and the crimes have been spilled into the public arena, then the authorities HAD to show that they were doing something.

Australia's drug industry is worth $1.5 Billion per month.

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:

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..

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.
