"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"

Multicultural Australia: Pious Muslim speaker who condones child rape one of 12 men booked for United Muslims Of Australia Quest For Success conference

Radical Islamic speaker who condones child rape one of 12 men booked for United Muslims Of Australia Quest For Success conference



EXCLUSIVE Matthew Benns
The Daily Telegraph
February 17 2016



A RADICAL Islamic speaker from the UK who condoned child rape on a previous visit to Australia is returning to spout more of his foul bile at a Muslim youth and community conference at Sydney Olympic Park.

Hamza Tzortzis, who has said publicly that anyone who fights against Muslims should be beheaded, is one of 12 international and local speakers — all of them men — booked for the ominously named United Muslims of Australia Quest for Success conference.

The event will be held in May in Homebush, which falls into the electorate of federal MP Craig Laundy, who will be sworn in as Assistant Minister for Multicultural ­Affairs tomorrow.


When The Daily Telegraph called Mr Laundy yesterday to inform him of the conference line-up, he said: “Hate speech has no place in our society and I utterly condemn in the strongest terms the views of anyone preaching hate and intolerance.”

Other speakers include a Hamas-supporting British preacher called Sheikh Zahir Mahmood and a Canadian called Sheikh Alaa Elsayed, who believes having two wives is good because, he says, they will fight for your attention.

Among the Australian speakers are Zachariah ­Matthews, who has called for elements of sharia law to be introduced into Australia’s legal system, and Sheikh Abu Hamza, who has argued that it is OK to hit your wife — just not too hard.

Also on the list of Aussie speakers is Sheikh Shady ­Alsuleiman, whose Sydney ­organisation hosted a speech by an al-Qaeda recruiter who was later killed in a drone ­attack in Yemen.

Ironically, Mr Tzortzis, who is known for his strong moral views, appeared on hacked data from the Ashley Madison dating website, ­although he has said repeatedly he was hacked.

John Perkins, the president of the Secular Party, ­debated Mr Tzortzis when he was in Australia in 2013.

“I put it to him that the Koran condones child marriage, (and) he defended it.

“He was defending child rape. I was absolutely ­appalled,” Mr Perkins said.

Despite Mr Tzortzis’s ­offensive views, Mr Perkins believes the conference should be permitted.

“It is better that views are exposed to the public because their own words condemn them more than any attack ever could,” he said.

The event has also angered women because of the lack of female speakers. Activist Eva Cox said: “It is impossible to imagine a conference about success that excludes women.”

A spokesman from the ­Department of Immigration said Mr Tzortzis had not yet ­applied for a visa.

“There are strong provisions under the Migration Act to refuse or cancel a visa if a person is found not to be of good character,” he said.

United Muslims of Australia did not provide a comment.

Labor MP Jo Haylen wants sniffer dogs retired from music festivals, and pills tested for ‘safety’

EXCLUSIVE Andrew Clennell
State Political Editor
The Daily Telegraph
February 15 2016



LABOR’S rookie inner west MP has called for sniffer dogs to be banned and illegal party drugs to actually be tested at music festivals to ensure they were safe for young people to take.

“Kids smoking pot or taking pills at music festivals won’t go away,” Summer Hill MP Jo Haylen said in her speech to colleagues at Labor’s state conference.

“Rather than ruining lives with a criminal record or, worse still, leaving people to take risks on their own, let’s be brave.



“Let’s introduce amnesty bins and pill testing at festivals so we’re not putting people at risk.

“Let’s retire sniffer dogs so we’re not unnecessarily targeting vulnerable people on our streets.

“Let’s decriminalise the possession and use of drugs and get the debate back on track — let’s get drug users out of cop cars and into the health system.”

Ms Haylen gave the speech late on Saturday, hijacking a health committee debate which colleagues felt should have been focused on the gap in health funding Premier Mike Baird wants funded through an increase in the GST. Ms Haylen said it was time to “put Labor at the vanguard again”, just as when former Premier Bob Carr introduced a medically supervised injecting room at Kings Cross.

She also criticised the Baird government’s increase in roadside drug testing.

“Labor understands that you don’t fix a flood with a hammer,” Ms Haylen said.



“The Baird government’s heavy handed approach doesn’t fix the problem. “Sniffer dogs are ineffective — they’re wrong three quarters of the time, causing unnecessary interactions between police and young people. “Likewise the intensified pressure of police at music festivals and events doesn’t stop young people taking drugs — it just encourages them to take all their drugs to avoid arrest.

“Roadside drug testing hurls people into the legal system for having the most minute traces if drugs in their system, but operates without a shred of evidence to prove it reduces the number of accidents.”

Ms Haylen said in her speech Premier Mike Baird and his deputy Troy Grant should “stop targeting kids, and poor people, LBTIQ people and the vulnerable.

“They (should) use their resources to target drug dealers and manufacturers to stop the flow of illicit drugs on our streets.”



The motion put by Ms Haylen, a member of the Left, to review the sniffer dog drug detection program, introduce pill testing at festivals and hold a parliamentary inquiry into drugs was defeated by the Right at conference and was not permitted to go to a vote.

Ms Haylen said yesterday that she did not intend to take her proposals to caucus, they were her personal views and reflected the views of her electorate.

Labor’s health spokesman Walt Secord said: “Her speech diverged sharply from ALP policy.

“I would have preferred to have debated the more than $20.1 billion in health cuts by the Turnbull and Baird governments.”

Julie Bishop Abbott ASSASSIN spending Taxpayers money like a good Labor politician.

Julie Bishop took 70 foreign diplomats on a two-day tour of WA, costing taxpayers $150,000

EXCLUSIVE Simon Benson
National Political Editor
The Daily Telegraph
February 15 2016

TAXPAYERS were charged $2000 an hour for “Celebrity Minister” Julie Bishop to take 70 foreign diplomats on a two-day sightseeing tour of her home state of Western Australia.

Ms Bishop, who is also Foreign Minister, took an entourage of 12 staff with her on the 2014 trip, which cost taxpayers almost $150,000.

The opposition has labelled the trip an “appalling waste of money”, claiming it was an ­indulgence that included a $10,000 dinner, a tour of the Sandalford Estate winery in the Swan Valley and a breakfast by the beach for the Canberra diplomatic corps, which included representatives of some of the wealthiest countries in the world.



There was also a charter flight for almost 100 people to the Pilbara at a cost of $57,000. There they toured the iron ore operations of BHP and Rio Tinto — the two richest mining companies in the world.

The bill would have been significantly higher had the diplomats not paid for their own airfares to Perth and their accommodation while there.

Ms Bishop, who is becoming increasingly known for her red carpet appearances and glamorous lifestyle, compared the cost of the trip to one Kevin Rudd made in 2011 to Queensland.

“Diplomatic corps visits are a longstanding practice supported by both sides of government dating back to 2000,” Ms Bishop told a Senate estimates hearing last week.

“The total cost incurred by the Australian government for the diplomatic corps visit to Western Australia was $145,200, or $2016.67 including GST per head of mission.

“This is comparable to the 2011 diplomatic corps visit to Queensland hosted by former foreign minister Kevin Rudd which cost $1978.77 including GST per head of mission when adjusted for inflation.”

The opposition has described Ms Bishop’s response as offensive because Mr Rudd’s trip — on which he took 100 foreign ambassadors and high commissioners — was part of the crisis recovery expedition in the wake of Cyclone Yasi.



“It is incredibly offensive for Ms Bishop to compare her sightseeing tour of WA to Mr Rudd escorting diplomats to Queensland in 2011 to demonstrate the state’s recovery after Cyclone Yasi,” Labor’s Wastewatch committee spokesman Pat Conroy said.

“This is a pathetic attempt to excuse the waste and misuse of taxpayers’ money. Last year Julie Bishop spent $125,000 on a tour of South Australia, and on that occasion she took nine staff and a few state Liberal MPs along with her.


“We also caught her taking three staffers along to a $350-a-head dinner, clearly more than are necessary.

“When the taxpayer is footing the bill for these functions, you’ve got to consider whether every expense is necessary.”








































Stop Turnbull : A timid Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull hits reset button

A timid Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull hits reset button

Andrew Bolt
Herald Sun
February 14, 2016 



IT’S been a terrible false start for Malcolm Turnbull, and an even worse one for the country.

Last September, the new Prime Minister offered us a fresh dawn when he picked his team of ministers.

“Today, I’m announcing a 21st century government and a ministry for the future,” he beamed. But it turns out his future didn’t last even five months.

On Saturday, Turnbull — oops — had to announce a very different ministry, now missing six of the people he’d boasted last year was his “ministry for the future”.

Gone were deputy prime minister Warren Truss and Trade Minister Andrew Robb, both retiring. Dumped were four other ministers — Mal Brough, Jamie Briggs and Stuart Robert, all torched by scandals, and Luke Hartsuyker, nobbled by his fellow Nationals.

Turnbull can’t be blamed for all these losses, although it was all his own dumb work to make Brough a minister in the first place as a reward for plotting against Tony Abbott.

What was he thinking? Brough was already up to his neck in the leaking of private information of former Speaker Peter Slipper, a matter now being investigated by police.

And did he really have to reward Robert, another plotter, with a ministry, too, and then hang on to him for too long?



Turnbull didn’t take long to realise he’d stuffed up with his picks. Good sources say that in December, he rang Bruce Billson and told him he’d made a mistake in dumping him as Small Business Minister, a portfolio Turnbull had given instead to yet another of his allies, Kelly O’Dwyer.

But Billson refused Turnbull’s request to come back. He’s been burned, and is quitting Parliament.

True, many of the people promoted in the second Turnbull ministry on Saturday are very good.

The best are supporters of Tony Abbott wrongly overlooked by Turnbull last September — Victorians Dan Tehan and Alan Tudge. Add also Angus Taylor, a former Rhodes scholar, said by some to be a prime minister of the future.

Better still, Barnaby Joyce is the new Nationals leader and Deputy Prime Minister, replacing Truss. Very few politicians have as much cut-through in the media, and few will have more power to drag Turnbull from his souring flirtation with the media Left.

So Turnbull can rightly argue his new ministry may have lost experience, but it hasn’t lost much talent. Yet one critical thing it has lost is time.

Turnbull must virtually start all over again, but not just with a new team.

Now, with just three months to go before his first Budget and only eight or so until the election, he must find a new economic plan.

Again, he’s had an awful false start. Five months ago, Turnbull announced not just his “ministry for the future” but his big promise.

Abbott, as prime minister, had “not been capable in providing the economic leadership our nation needs”, he thundered.

Turnbull would be different: “We need a style of leadership that explains those challenges ... and sets out the course of action we believe we should take and makes a case for it.

“We need advocacy, not slogans.”

But Turnbull has failed. He’s offered no “economic leadership”, no “course of action” and no “advocacy”.

What’s his “course of action” on tax cuts? On superannuation tax breaks? On a capital gains crackdown? On winding back negative gearing? On workplace reform? On spending cuts?

No one knows.

For months, Turnbull did toy with raising the GST to 15 per cent to raise money for big tax cuts, but didn’t offer a word of advocacy for this (pointless) switcheroo, meant to be the centrepiece of his economic strategy.

Once again, he seemed too scared of risking his popularity to fight for anything that mattered to him — or should. He, instead, pushed out Treasurer Scott Morrison to make the case to premiers and business leaders. But last week, Turnbull cut Morrison off at the knees.

He’d got too frightened by Labor’s scare campaign against a GST hike and had Industry Minister Chris Pyne casually let drop that it “is not going to be introduced”.

Ouch. Premiers who backed a GST rise are furious to have wasted their time and credibility. South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill whacked Turnbull: “It’s the opposite of taking responsibility and demonstrating the leadership that he promised.”

Nor will the ambitious Morrison like being made to look weak, and he’ll be even angrier now Turnbull has sacked Stuart Robert, a key Morrison ally.



Morrison had argued publicly that the accusations against Robert — of doing a business favour for a mate on a trip to China — were just a “shocking beat-up”.

He has now learned the hard way that it takes a strong, clear and loyal Prime Minister to make a minister look good.

Morrison became a star as immigration minister when Abbott told him plainly to stop the boats, and backed him completely when he did.

But he now looks a struggler because Turnbull told him vaguely to maybe raise the GST and then dropped him when he tried.

The big picture for voters is this: the Government has lost five months while Turnbull fossicks for the economic plan he promised last year.

Sure, our economy is still growing, but so is our debt.

Sure, unemployment is falling, but so are prices for our exports.

Every month lost in fixing the Budget is a month more of rising debt, and one month less to protect us from future shocks, such as China tanking.

But Turnbull has lost not only time. Critically, he has lost momentum.

It was always clear the Government shouldn’t raise taxes but should cut spending, and voters had to be coached to take the pain.

Even our greatest Labor treasurer, Paul Keating, this month said the world had slashed our export earnings, and Turnbull had to “trim our spending and not accommodate more of it by ever more taxation”.

Our greatest Liberal treasurer, Peter Costello, agreed. “Tax changes will not solve the Budget problem,” he warned, and spending must be cut.

Abbott, as prime minister, knew this.

You might hate him for breaking promises and mock him for his heavy-handed attempts to cut government programs, but credit him with having the guts to try to fix the spending binge that’s driving us broke.

But here is the problem: Turnbull’s supporters egged on Abbott’s media critics and undermined his message, crippling his efforts to persuade feral senators to pass his savings.

Now that he’s taken over as Prime Minister, Turnbull has all but dropped that grim talk of spending cuts and is hunting for easy tax hits instead — possibly on superannuation and negative gearing, which the Greens would help get passed.

Gone is Abbott’s depressing talk of “Budget emergencies”, as Turnbull has sold sunshine instead.

So how can Turnbull now switch back to Abbott’s argument of our cupboard being bare and our belts needing tightening?

He’ll look like he’s spent the last five months faffing around when there was hard work to be done.

And that, I’m afraid, is the truth.

Ideas? Innovation? We’re only getting inaction

Tim Blair
The Daily Telegraph
February 15 2016



LABOR leader Bill Shorten promised us a “year of ideas”. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull declared “the Australia of the future has to be a nation­ that is agile, that is innovative, that is creative. We cannot be defensive”.

Then nothing happened. Absolutely nothing.

Shorten delivered no ideas at all and Turnbull has been locked for five months in an agile, innovative and creative strategy of total defensiveness. Both men are paralysed with concern over the election, so are now engaged in a war of complete inertia.

It’s like a chess championship in a narcolepsy ward. Or, even worse, any soccer match played anywhere, between any teams, at any time. “What’s happened? What has he actually done?” Shorten asked last week about his motionless­ opponent­, who could well have asked the same about Shorten.

These two are demonstrating all the dynamism and energy of ABC staffers at 4.55pm on a long-weekend Friday.

Now, this is not entirely a bad thing. There are a lot of situations that could become a great deal more unpleasant through the involvement of either Shorten or Turnbull. For example, the Prime Minister could decide to waste more of our time and money on another doomed republican bender. And Shorten could try to drive somewhere.

It’s just that Australia has some serious problems — with increasing numbers of zeros — that can only be resolved through political action. Sooner or later, Shorten and Turnbull need to present their ideas for spending cuts.

Spending cuts! These words strike fear into the marrow of both the PM and his rival. It’s a measure of just how frightened they are even to mention spending cuts that Shorten and Turnbull would rather discuss potential tax increases, which in an election year would normally be suicidal. Yet they’ve obviously decided that spending cuts are even more dangerous, despite a significant and possibly election-turning public appetite for restraint.

Turnbull’s reluctance to publicly consider spending cuts is more pronounced, especially given his September vow to pursue agility and innovation. People who are paid to observe Turnbull and his kind are beginning to notice.

“The Turnbull government has to take a more — much as I hate to say it, given its previous overuse and misuse — methodical approach to the difficult tasks ahead, especially as it allowed a few months to slip by without properly making the case for tax reform,” former Peter Costello staffer Niki Savva wrote in The Australian last week. “There has to be a clearer articulation of objectives followed by a disciplined outlining of solutions.”



Yes. Solutions would be nice. “What’s going on?” asked Fairfax’s Mark Kenny.

“Order has given way to a faint air of chaos. Malcolm Turnbull’s administration looks slave to events rather than the other way around … The strong impression being created is that parts of the show are flying off — that either through incompetence, stupidity, or a failure of due diligence, Turnbull’s executive is disintegrating around him, suggesting he is less in control than he might pretend. And that’s before anything serious has even been tried in a policy sense.”

A safety-first approach isn’t always safe. It might be prudent to take a hands-off approach when you’re cruising at altitude but eventually you’ve got to grab the controls and actually land the thing.

The Saturday Telegraph’s Laurie Oakes reflected on Turnbull’s switch to somnambulism: “His stint as opposition leader ended in tears in 2009 because he alienated colleagues through an arrogant ‘I-know-best’ style. But in his new incarnation as Prime Minister, Turnbull seems to have gone to the other extreme. Consultation and process get such priority that he fails to convey strength or a sense of direction.”

Part of the problem is the people Turnbull consults. Like Shorten, he is surrounded by big-spending, big-government types whose answer to every electoral problem is more government programs.


This is what led us to our predicament in the first place. The Great Explainer, and his Labor counterpart, need to consult with the people paying the bills instead of the people spending our damn money.

Keep Australia's doors shut to jihadi kids in Syria.

Miranda Devine: Lock our door to keep the jihadi kids in Syria

MIRANDA DEVINE
The Sunday Telegraph
February 14 2016



THE latest plea for sympathy from the mother-in-law of the (maybe) dead Islamic State ­terrorist Khaled Sharrouf is too convenient for words.

Karen Nettleton and her lawyer Charlie Waterstreet are now claiming that Sharrouf’s wife, Tara, has died in the ISIS paradise of Raqqa, Syria, making orphans of their five children, aged between 14 and six.

Actually, make that six kids, since Sharrouf married off his 14-year-old eldest daughter, Zaynab, to his head-chopping rapist mate Mohamed Elomar. Their baby was born eight weeks ago, after he was reportedly killed in a drone strike.

Elomar’s death has at least been confirmed by Australian authorities, unlike Tara’s or her husband’s.

Supposedly she died in September from complications to do with appendicitis. Or perhaps it was kidney disease. ­Reports differ.

Either way, it is handy timing, considering earlier pleas for public sympathy fell on deaf ears, despite Waterstreet’s imaginative sob stories.

In any case, the Australian government is under no obligation to bring any Sharroufs home. The idea that we would risk special forces to enter Syria to assist the family of a convicted terrorist is laughable, even if it were possible.



And it’s a pity Karen Nettleton wasn’t as proactive about protecting her grandchildren before she helped her Muslim convert daughter fly them out of the country in 2014.

Karen travelled with Tara and the children to Malaysia, the first stage in a journey to Raqqa to join Sharrouf. She has said it was just a family holiday, that when she left her daughter and grandchildren in Malaysia, Tara only planned to go to Turkey to visit a friend, and must have been duped by her husband to go on to Syria.

The privations of the ­Islamic State made Tara regret her foolishness but, judging by photos on her Twitter feed last year, she enjoyed Raqqa at first, living in a nice house ­stolen from some poor Syrian family, travelling around in a luxury BMW.

“Chillin in the khilafah, lovin life,’’ she posted under a photo of herself and other black-cloaked IS wives toting machineguns.

She didn’t seem to mind that her husband had posted on Twitter a photo of their son holding a severed head, with the caption ‘That’s my boy’.

Nor did she seem to mind that Zaynab, who describes herself as a “soldier of Allah”, was pregnant at 14 to Elomar, almost 20 years her senior.

In any case, the Australian government is under no obligation to bring any Sharroufs home. The idea that we would risk special forces to enter Syria to assist the family of a convicted terrorist is laughable, even if it were possible.

Then there were the Yazidi sex slaves kept at the Sharrouf home. After escaping, they told the ABC how badly they were treated by the Sharrouf children, whose every whim they had to indulge.

“His children were treating us badly as well and they had knives and cellphones, saying that they will take videos while killing us because we follow a different religion,” one of the women said. “And said that they will make a video while cutting off our heads.”

You can’t blame the children for their family, but they have been brainwashed since birth by their father to hate non-Muslims, say police who listened to phone taps for months before Sharrouf was locked up for his part in the Operation ­Pendennis terror plot. He managed to convince a judge in 2005 to give him a soft sentence of less than four years, on the grounds of mental illness.

But when he got to Syria he declared he had made it all up: “I played the government there like ignorant children i was never mentally ill not then nor now.”

He played the Australian authorities for fools then and now his family think they can do it again.

Orphans or not, there is no guarantee that they won’t one day pose a terrorist risk to Australia if they return.

You would wish that they had never gone to Syria but it was a one-way ticket.

THE leaders of an Islamic sect that supported female genital mutilation have banned the practice in Australia after a ­Supreme Court trial ruled the custom illegal.

Multicultural Sydney: Auburn genital mutilation: Guilty women, sheik fail to show remorse or speak out says judge


THE leaders of an Islamic sect that supported female genital mutilation have banned the practice in Australia after a ­Supreme Court trial ruled the custom illegal.

Trustees of the Dawoodi Bohra Shia Muslim community issued an edict last week ­ordering its followers not to perform the ritual known as “khafd” or “khatna”, either in Australia or overseas.

The order follows the conviction of a mother, a retired nurse and a spiritual leader, who were prosecuted in ­Australia’s first female genital mutilation trial on two sisters last year.

In both cases, the girls’ ­clitorises were cut with a silver tool, but medical examinations were inconclusive about what types of injuries had been caused.

The trio were found guilty of mutilating the two sisters and are yet to be sentenced.

A meeting was held in ­Auburn on Monday about the practice and on Tuesday a ­letter signed by 12 trustees of the Dawoodi Bohra community, a small religious order, told followers to abide by the law of the land.

The letter cited the convictions handed down by the ­Supreme Court and said, consequently, the practice of “khafd” was illegal.

“All parents and guardians are hereby directed in the strictest terms not to carry out khafd under any circumstances,” the letter said.

It also directed people not to take any child or other ­person outside Australia for the same purpose.

Lawyer John Sutton, representing the Dawoodi Bohra sect, said the move to ban the cultural practice was an ­unequivocal signal that the community wanted to adhere to Australian laws.

Even though medical ­examinations of the two ­victims in the court case were unable to prove conclusively what took place, he said the resolution was clear.

Muslim leader’s condolences to bereaved families


ISLAMIC State fighter Khaled Sharrouf is still alive and making threatening calls to people in Sydney over ­attempts by the NSW Crime Commission to seize his house.

Law enforcement officials have uncovered ­numerous contacts from the terrorist, who had ­reportedly been killed in Syria, including a death threat made last month by­­­ ­­­­­­a person claiming to be Sharrouf to a person in Sydney.

The threat related to ongoing legal proceedings led by the NSW Crime Commission, which is attempting to seize a house bought for Sharrouf before he left Australia.

Authorities believe the house in western Sydney was purchased by murdered standover man Joe ­Antoun and others linked to him.

While the house is not in Sharrouf’s name, the commission is suing its legal owner, a relative of Antoun’s, using Criminal Assets ­Recovery legislation. They want to seize the house because of its links to Sharrouf.
A law enforcement official said Sharrouf has no paper link to the house but remains attached to the property and doesn’t want to lose it.

“Sharrouf thinks it’s his,” the ­official said, adding there had been several suspected contacts from him suggesting he wasn’t dead. “He wants to foster an image he’s dead.”

A second law enforcement official said that since the initial reports of Sharrouf’s death last year there had been information coming through suggesting he was still alive, though without a public presence in Syria it was difficult for Australian authorities to verify the intelligence.

Antoun was gunned down on the doorstep of his Strathfield home in December 2013 over an unrelated matter.

The revelations come as questions continue to be posed over the fate of Sharrouf’s children, all of whom are Australian passport holders, and whether they can be brought back to Australia after ­reports emerged last week that Sharrouf’s wife Tara Nettleton, who took the children to Syria, died from complications with appendicitis.

She had been the main point of contact for negotiating the children’s return to Australia, a third law enforcement source said.

The official said federal authorities fell out of touch with Ms Nettleton around September last year and believe she may have died around that time.

Her mother Karen was last week photographed leaving her home with a tattoo on her arm suggesting the date of death was September 11.

Part of the reason Tara died, the official said, was because she wasn’t given priority treatment at a hospital over injured ISIS men.

Robert Van Aalst, a family friend and lawyer to the Nettleton family, declined to be interviewed but said the family was told in January that Sharrouf was dead.

He declined to say who provided the information.

Another lawyer acting for the Nettleton family, Charles Waterstreet, said he had been told the same but didn’t necessarily believe it.

“Khaled’s fate is unverifiable,” Mr Waterstreet said yesterday.

“The family were told he’s dead but knowing how unreliable everything is, whether he’s dead or not I wouldn’t know, but nothing would surprise me.”

Mr Waterstreet is assisting Karen Nettleton in appealing to ­foreign governments and non-government organisations to lead a mission to repatriate the Sharrouf children.

He said the children — Sharrouf has two sons and three daughters: Zaynab, 14, now a mother of a baby herself, Hoda, 13, Abdullah, 11, Zarqawi, 10, and Humzeh, 5 — were currently living alone in a house somewhere in the country and had no access to food or cash.

The girls were also unable to walk around and seek assistance without a male minder and about $2000 had been wired to them but hadn’t yet been claimed.

He said the children had held off telling Karen about Tara’s death because they didn’t want to upset her.

Despite the illegalities involved in wiring money — it is an offence to send money to terrorist organisations or their sympathisers — the authorities had been sympathetic to the family’s attempts, Mr Waterstreet said.

While there were no firm ­attempts afoot to bring the children home, he said efforts to locate and extract the children were ongoing.

In the past Sharrouf has boasted about his deceptive tactics on social media, including his ability to slip through customs and fly “first class” out of the country.

References have also been made to feigning mental illness during his court proceedings between 2007 and 2009 on charges of conspiring to commit an act of terrorism.

Two psychologists ruled he was unfit to stand trial and one claimed Sharrouf was “unlikely to become involved in a further ­offence”.

On sentencing, the judge took into account Sharrouf’s “drug-induced psychosis” and “chronic schizophrenia”. He was released a month after his sentence was handed down because of time already served.

Diversity Down Under: Cultural Enrichment Ambassadors and Gang Rapists return to Australia


Ashwin Kumar, Waleed Latif and Dylan Djohan are the names of scum which Australians must never forget.

Statement from DFAT:


"Until the recent finalisation of their case, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade provided consular assistance to three Australian men in Croatia, in line with the Consular Services Charter."

Multiculturalism Down Under : Migrant birthrates are changing Australia, Mark Steyn.

Migrant birthrates are changing Australia: Average birthrate below replacement level

IT’S the biggest story of our times, but political correctness has stifled debate so badly that politicians are too afraid to even talk about it.

According to visiting ­Canadian author and free-speech advocate Mark Steyn, low birth rates have put Western societies into a “demographic death spiral”.

And he warns it’s impossible to rely on immigration to fill the gap without completely changing our culture.



In an interview with The Daily Telegraph before his Australian tour next week, Mr Steyn said politicians were underestimating how quickly societies can change.

“Normally for a population transformation you need a Black Death, the Plague or a world war,” he said. “But in this case we are having it without any of that. That’s why it’s the most fascinating question of our times.”

Australia’s average birthrate of 1.79 is below replacement level. And while Mr Steyn gives Malcolm Turnbull brownie points for understanding the implications of declining birthrates — they once shared a session passing notes back and forth about the issue — he is pessimistic about the PM’s will to reverse the trend. “We don’t have a language to talk about this without ­accusations of racism and sexism coming up,” he said.



“Western societies are basically importing a new population to be the children you couldn’t be bothered having yourselves.”

Mr Steyn said the cultural changes that come with Muslim migration should be acknowledged and discussed.

Women giving birth in Australia but born in ­Lebanon have an average of 4.03 children. For Syrian mums the figure is 3.38 and for Pakistani women it’s 3.02. For Australian-born women the figure is just 1.86.

Amal Chafic of Illawong is a modern Muslim mum with five children aged five to 12 and a large extended family as her two brothers each have four children. “I come from a big family of five and so does my husband Anas, who had six in his family,” she said.



In Oatley, mother-of-two Kylie McCathie, 39, said many of her peers were starting their families late after putting their careers first.

“When I lived in Surry Hills everyone in the mothers’ group was over 30 with their first child,” she said.

Mr Steyn’s visit coincides with Australia’s population hitting 24 million next week.

To mark the milestone, ­social research firm ­McCrindle has released a “fertility map” of Sydney’s birthrates by suburb showing the city’s Muslim population is leading the charge.

Many of the most fertile suburbs are in our migrant clusters, such as Lakemba, Auburn, Guildford, Punchbowl and Bankstown — popular with families of ­Middle Eastern background.

Multicultural Sydney: Auburn genital mutilation: Guilty women, sheik fail to show remorse or speak out says judge

Auburn genital mutilation: Guilty women, sheik fail to show remorse or speak out says judge

"Justice Peter Johnson raised concerns that the three accused had not rejected the practise of female genital mutilation called “khatna,” which is traditionally performed on seven-year-old girls."




A SUPREME Court Justice has questioned the remorse of two women convicted of female genital mutilation, saying they have not said if they now reject the practice or will speak out against the procedure which is a tradition in their small Muslim sect.

A midwife, Kubra Magennis, 72, and a 39-year-old mother of four girls (known as A2 during the court proceedings) were convicted by a jury of mutilating the clitorises of the younger woman’s two eldest daughters in November last year, becoming the first people in Australia to be successfully prosecuted for female genital mutilation.

They face a maximum penalty of seven years jail.

At the sentencing hearing Justice Johnson criticised a psychological report tendered by A2 and Vaziri’s defence barrister Robert Sutherland SC saying it focused on the mother and not the impact of the crime she committed against her daughters.

“It is largely a report on what the impact on the family is if the mother goes to jail, no one has asked her (the eldest daughter) as a victim of crime what her attitude is towards the crime.”

Crown Prosecutor Nannette Williams asked that a suppression order on the name of the midwife, initially only known as KM, be lifted which was opposed by her defence barrister Stuart Bouveng on the ground the “frail” woman’s safety was at risk.

The judge later lifted the suppression order, allowing the midwife’s name to be publicised.

Magennis and her husband tendered affidavits that they had been harassed and received threatening phone calls over the past three years.




The religious leader of their Shia Muslim sect, Dawoodi Bohra, Sheik Shabbir Mohammedbhai Vaziri, was found guilty of being an accessory after the fact to the procedure.

At a sentencing hearing today, Justice Peter Johnson raised concerns that the three accused had not rejected the practise of female genital mutilation called “khatna,” which is traditionally performed on seven-year-old girls.

“I am not sure that I have seen any of these accused saying they reject all practises of that sort … and they do take action in the Dawoodi Bohra community to speak out against that,” Justice Johnson said

During the eight-and-a-half week trial the jury heard A2 had arranged for Magennis to perform the procedure called “khatna” on her daughters on two different occasions in Wollongong and Baulkham Hills in Sydney’s north west between October 2009 and August 2012.

The injuries consisted of a nick or cut to the girls’ clitorises.

When police began investigating the practice Vaziri told community members to tell detectives that they did not practise female genital mutilation.

The tiny Auburn-based sect came to police attention in 2012 after they received a tip-off from a reformist Dawoodi Bohra member that the orthodox followers practised female genital mutilation.

The hearing continues.
