Australians offered $300 a week to house an asylum seeker – Australians say “shove it!”

Posted by Wendy on May 3, 2012 2 comments

Just to prove that Australian PM Julia Gillard has totally and utterly lost the plot with regards to controlling the boatloads of ‘asylum seekers’ arriving each week, she now comes up with her Govt’s most desperate – an unworkable – plan to date. Rather than reintroduce ex-PM John Howard’s Pacific Solution – which successfully reduced the numbers of boats arriving from several a week to just several a year – she has all but admitted defeat on the issue.

She steadfastly refuses, and opposes, the Pacific Solution which was the most effect way of controlling these illegal queue-jumpers from entering our country. She no other idea that has or will work. Instead of discouraging them she has now hatched a plan that will have them swimming across the bloody ocean in teeming masses to get to us…

Pay Australians $300 a week to host an asylum seeker in their home.

Yeah right. Taking possible terror suspects into your house. Taking fundamentalist Muslims into your house, who hate your dog, hate your culture, hate bacon, pork and ham (all Aussie staples…) and who will expect your wife and daughters to walk around covered so as not to offend them. The idea is astonishingly irresponsible and sheer bloody mad.These people are not asylum seekers, they are economic migrants who have found an easy ticket into our country, there are plenty of other countries they can escape to if needed…

With record numbers of Australians homeless, sleeping in cars with their kids, unable to pay their mortgage and electricity bills – and she wants to pay them to put up the house-guests from hell….? wasting our taxes on these unwelcome parasites instead on our own citizens – Australians have two words to say to this…

Shove it!

Lake Front Motel at The Entrance: Guide Dogs CAN stay – lesson learned?

Posted by Wendy on April 27, 2012 No comments

The law is specific on the issue of Guide Dogs for the blind being accepted everywhere these days. Wherever their owner goes, they go too. Of course they must – they are the eyes of a person who cannot see. Guide dogs can enter restaurants, cinemas, pubs, playgrounds, schools, shops, shopping centers, hotels, resorts and…motels. Maybe the owners of the Lake Front Motel at The Entrance in NSW, north of Sydney, should have made themselves better acquainted with the law before they decided to go into the accommodation business…

Turning away a visually impaired man and his guide dog – plus his wife and baby – late at night after they had driven all the way from Sydney was not only illegal, but mean-spirited and ignorant. The law is clear – guide dogs are accepted everywhere. Regardless of the legalities, it is a heartless thing to do. I hope the owners of the Lake Front Motel make the effort to become more familiar with the laws of the land – and make suitable amends to this family…and the guide dog too.

Leanne Edelsten: there is no word to describe how vile this woman is.

Posted by Wendy on April 24, 2012 No comments

Okay so I watched Leanne Edelsten (she has never bothered to ditch her ex-doctor-husband’s name despite remarrying…) interviewed on ACA. People have affairs, affairs end – sometimes for the best, sometimes for the worst – if anything can salvage a journey involving deceit it has to be discretion. Leanne Edelsten should look up the word in the dictionary…it appears not long after ‘despicable’.

Clive James: ambushed by Leanne Edelsten

So she had an affair with a married man – Clive James – Australia’s most famous expat broadcaster; a brilliant author and presenter, witty, intelligent and eloquent. A man who has been battling leukaemia, a man who is not very well. As she smirked and flicked at her hair throughout her vile little interview on ACA she looked like a woman proud of spending eight years of her life sleeping with another woman’s husband. But, as she claims, Mrs James ‘is not a woman to feel sorry for’…

Like you ex-Mrs Edelsten…? a faded, aging model who has obviously missed the limelight since she divorced her struck-off GP husband, Geoffrey – who took a TV camera crew across the world to England to ambush a bemused but very frail Clive James as he left his small flat to ask…‘do I have anything to worry about?’ – referring to some damaging photos his wife had found of her. No, you have nothing to worry about ex-Mrs Edelsten – I am sure Clive has more pressing things on his mind…like how long he has to live.

You, however madam, have a lot to worry about now; like how to dig your way out of the slurry pit you now exist in. And what the woman who is ‘not a woman you feel sorry for’ is going to do with all those photos of you she found in her husband’s computer – I hope those bleached tresses of yours turn grey overnight with the stress of it all. A Current Affair and Leanne Edelsten…arguably the lowest, most distasteful collaboration in Australian television history. Shame on both of you.
