Liberal thrown out of 'Nats in drag" Natasha Bita 29-10-09 The Australian
A LONG-TIME Liberal Party official has been expelled from Queensland's Liberal National Party after lambasting it as the "National Party in drag".
Phil Williams -- who served on the Liberal Party executive for five years and chaired the LNP's powerful central Brisbane division last year -- was thrown out of the LNP after blowing the whistle on alleged wastage at Brisbane City Council.
But the expulsion letter, signed by party secretary Mary Carroll, reveals that Mr Williams was kicked out of the LNP only after he sent a scathing letter of resignation to party president Bruce McIver, predicting an LNP loss at the next federal election.
"In essence, the LNP is, and always will be, the National Party in drag," he wrote. "It can never, and will never, represent true Liberal Party values.
"Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't change the fact that the beast is still a pig." Mr Williams's letter predicted that the LNP would be "decimated" in the looming federal election and have to be unwound into separate conservative parties.
He said the merger had "disaffected the hard-core Liberal and National Party workers and voters".
"Good luck in trying to man the booths at the upcoming elections," his letter said.
In her letter expelling Mr Williams, Ms Carroll responded that the LNP's state executive meeting on September 18 had resolved to "not accept the resignation", but to expel Mr Williams from the LNP.
"As you are aware, your membership of the LNP has been in question since publication of emails sent by you in November 2008, which raised questions of your compliance with your obligations as a member," she wrote.
Mr Williams said yesterday he had been expelled for "bringing the party into disrepute" by emailing Brisbane's Liberal Lord Mayor Campbell Newman with allegations of waste and maladministration at Brisbane City Council.
Mr Williams, a management consultant, was working at the council at the time as an IT consultant through his employer Fujitsu.
The email -- obtained by the Brisbane media after Mr Williams inadvertently sent it to an ALP city councillor -- claimed that "tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars" of ratepayers' money had been squandered, and described how Mr Williams had witnessed "unproductive staff, ineffective managers and waste on operations and projects".
Mr Williams was sacked from his consultancy job, but Queensland's Crime and Misconduct Commission later cleared the mayor of any involvement.
Mr Williams -- who was a member of the Liberal Party for 36 years -- yesterday said it seemed "pretty stupid and pointless" to expel him after he had already quit the LNP. He claimed that at least 1000 Liberal Party members had quit the LNP since last year's merger.
"I believe at least 500 of them have joined with the West Australian or Victorian divisions of the Liberal Party," he said.
As chairman of the LNP's central Brisbane division, he had jurisdiction over the federal seats of Ryan, Greenslopes, Brisbane and Oxley.
The latest LNP ruction follows revelations in The Australian this month that long-serving Howard government minister Gary Hardgrave had been sent a "show-cause" letter threatening him with expulsion.
The disciplinary action related to Mr Hardgrave's remark, made while hosting a radio show, that Queensland Opposition Leader John-Paul Langbroek might not have the full support of everyone in his party.
Mr Hardgrave -- who branded the LNP a "bully" -- declined to comment
A interesting article in so many ways. My close Mate Phil Williams who resigned from LNP was instead thrown out of the Party at a 18 September bund meeting, sorry I meant board meeting lead by the Nationals "Eva Braun" aka Mary Carroll. Can you imagine the guy resigns and the LNP with so much hatred in there hearts decides instead that it wants its pound of flesh, so the tell him they won't accept his resignation then they expel him from the LNP.
I had a run in with the "Eva Braun" I guess she liked me because they accepted my letter of resignation back in February of this year. When they read this posting they will probably expel me retroactively to January. Later in this article Phil said, that "at least a 1000 former Liberals had left the LNP since last year's merger."
Phil your numbers are very low, the Liberal Party or should I say the LNP in the North has nothing left of its pre-merger membership. The Nationals Dennis Quick has managed to chase all the Liberals out of the Party up here. There is just a empty shell of former Liberal Party members left. The Nationals or should I say the LNP have no more that 10-15 active members in the far north now.
All the National trash has done what they set out to do and that was to destroy the Liberal Party in Queensland. And with the help of willing Liberal Party traitors like Gary Spence and Geoff Greene they have accomplished that goal.
And that's The Northern Truth!!
On a serious note the LA Times reported the death of a long favourite Soupy Sales who passing away in New York age 83. This guy was a personal favourite when I was a kid and just his name brings a smile to my face!

The campaign by a self-styled sheik to write gloating letters to the widows of Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan is repugnant, the Daily Telegraph says.
The paper says Sheik Haron's letters are a callous act which offends us all.
'Among those deeply outraged by Haron's letters are the overwhelming majority of Islamic Australians, who must be wondering what they've done to deserve an obnoxious Haron in their midst,' it says.
'They join essentially every other Australian in revulsion at Haron's toxic conduct.
'To that end, it could almost be said that Haron has served to bring Australians as a people closer together.
'If only that unity hadn't come at such a tragic cost - the heartbreak and shock of those who received Haron's poisonous mail.'
Haron was charged with seven counts of using a postal or similar service to menace, harass or cause offence.
He was bailed to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on November 10.
The maximum penalty for these offences is two years imprisonment.
This piece of scum is by far the worst scum in Australia and if I had my way he would be shot in the face with a shotgun and quartered! Or at the least be deported from Australia forthwith!
There is no room in Australia for this scum!
And that's The Northern Truth!!
The Cairns Post today (19-10-09) reported that,
"About 70 per cent of delegates at the ALP’s Far Northern regional conference yesterday passed a motion calling for the rail, port and other asset privatisation plans to be scrapped."
"Labor member Stuart Traill has led a union campaign against the asset sell-off as the local head of the Queensland Council of Unions and he put the motion yesterday."
"This is causing a huge divide within the party and if the Government dosen’t change its mind it will lead to a change of government," Mr Trail warned."
This just makes my day, the same idiots that lead the re-election campaign of this corrupt and bankrupt Queensland Labor Government in the Far North last March, now doesn't like the scum that they helped elect.
The telling quote from Stuart Traill is, ""We will not be silenced." Mate you have been silenced when all the State & Federal MP's & Senators either walked out or didn't show up to the meeting before the vote!
Mate where were you at the last election? Do you remember spreading the government's lies and you worked so diligently for there re-election and smearing all the people telling the truth? Now Mate they bite you on the arse and your upset? I could not be happier to see this Socialist Labor Government come apart at the seams.
And that's The Northern Truth!!
From the ABC this morning: "Five years to save world from climate change", says WWF
By Environment reporter Sarah Clarke for AM"
The Morons and doomsayers from the WWF have predicted Armageddon by 2014.
"Karl Mallon, a scientist with Climate Risk and one of the key authors of the report, says 2014 has been calculated as the point at which there is no longer enough time to develop the industries that can deliver a low carbon economy.
"The point of no return," he said.
"If we wait until past 2014 or that's what modelling shows, then simply put, it will be impossible for industries to grow to the scale that has to be achieved in the time that is available."
"So essentially, we'll miss the target and I guess then we are left with the consequences of what happens if we go about two degrees warming."
The report is a global assessment and warns "rapid change" is crucial."
What a load of bull crap, this is the only way those morons at the WWF can get any attention from the press is to predict the end of mankind and the planet.
The ABC should be ashamed, for being suckered into printing this nonsense from such an notoriously unreliable source as the WWF!
And that's The Northern Truth!!

Austria’s provincial capitals are expected to see their earliest snowfalls in history today (Mon) as Arctic air sweeps the country.
Josef Haselhofer from Vienna’s Central Agency for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) said today (Mon) Arctic air would probably result in the first snow cover in provincial capitals before 20 October in history and said Innsbruck, Salzburg and St. Pölten were likely to see snow.
He said as much as 30 to 40 centimetres of snow was likely down to 1,200 metres and snow could fall as low as 400 metres later this week, adding it had already begun to fall in Vorarlberg. He also predicted low temperatures would be minus five degrees at higher elevations and zero degrees in the lowlands by Thursday morning.
Haselhofer warned of possible impassable snow drifts in some places and the danger of avalanches in low-lying areas.
Car club ÖAMTC reported today that chains were mandatory for all vehicles on stretches of the Arlbergstraße (L197), Lechtalstraße (L198) and the Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße (L188) in Vorarlberg.
The club said snow was falling down to 1,500 metres and the snow line would drop to as low as 900 metres in the province before it stopped snowing there.
The record for early snow in provincial capitals was set in 2007, when snow remained on the ground in some of them from 20 to 24 October. The average high in October, according to ZAMG, is 15 degrees.
The snow warnings come after weather records tumbled last week, with a number of places seeing records for the highest October temperature in many years, according to ZAMG.
It said records had been set on 7 October in Vienna-Donaufeld, with a high of 28.6 degrees, the highest in 50 years, and in Großenzersdorf, Lower Austria, with a high of 28.5 degrees, the warmest October day there in history.

I read this on Andrew Bolt's blog from a reader in the comments section and I would like to share this truth with you:
"Please stop calling it an emissions trading scheme Andrew. It’s rightful title is an ‘emissions taxation scam’."

The Denver Post has reported that the Loveland Ski Resort in the Arapaho Basin of Colorado has announced the earliest opening of the ski resort in 40 years. So much for the Global Warming Climate Change bullshit mantra the Krudd Government has been peddling with there joke of Emmission Trading Scheme (ETS).
As always no debate and no discussion of ETS!
BTW the reason the people in the picture are laughing is they just read the Krudd Government's Emission Trading Scheme!

Just back from Seattle, Washington to see my daughter Ashley and her partner Brian. We had a great time accept for the tsunami of beggars and pan-handlers annoying us everywhere we went in the city.
Apparently the cities left wing council doesn't want to ruffles the feathers of there Left Wing support, so the city has been inundated with, bums and psych cases roaming the streets bothering the tourist.
It is obvious that the city of Seattle doesn't give toss about visitors to there city! Shame on you Seattle, shame on you!

How board game helped free POWs
By Brian McMahon
(Mental Floss) -- Park Place, Boardwalk, and a hidden map with a secret escape route? For Allied POWs during World War II, Monopoly® games came equipped with real-life "get out of jail free" cards.
During World War II, the British secret service hatched a master plan to smuggle escape gear to captured Allied soldiers inside Germany. Their secret weapon? Monopoly boxes.
The original notion was simple enough: Find a way to sneak useful items into prison camps in an unassuming form. But the idea to use Monopoly came from a series of happy coincidences, all of which started with maps.
Smooth as silk
Maps are harder to smuggle than you might think. They fall apart when wet, and they make a lot of noise when unfolded. Allied officials feared paper maps might draw the attention of German troops, so they turned to an unlikely source for help -- silk. Not only would silk maps hold up in all kinds of weather, but they'd also come with the life-saving benefit of being whisper quiet.
To produce these silent maps, the Brits turned to John Waddington Ltd., a company that had recently perfected the process of printing on silk and was already manufacturing silk escape maps for British airmen to carry. What else was Waddington known for? You guessed it -- being the licensed manufacturer of Monopoly outside the United States.
Suddenly, the popular board game seemed like the perfect way to get supplies inside German-run POW camps. At the time, the Nazis were hard-pressed to get provisions to their own troops, much less to the Allied soldiers they'd captured.
Wishing to hide this less-than-stellar upholding of the Geneva Convention, they happily welcomed Red Cross aid packages for POWs. So throwing Monopoly games into the care kits along with food and clothing was met with little scrutiny. Monopoly was already a well-known game throughout Europe, and the German guards saw it as the perfect way for their detainees to remain occupied for hours.
Community Chest
In 1941, the British Secret Service approached Waddington with its master plan, and before long, production of a "special edition" Monopoly set was underway. For the top-secret mission, the factory set aside a small, secure room -- unknown to the rest of its employees -- where skilled craftsmen sat and painstakingly carved small niches and openings into the games' cardboard boxes.
Along with the standard thimble, car, and Scotty dog, the POW version included additional "playing" pieces, such as a metal file, a magnetic compass, and of course, a regional silk escape map, complete with marked safe-houses along the way -- all neatly concealed in the game's box.
Even better, some of the Monopoly money was real. Actual German, Italian, and French currency was placed underneath the play money for escapees to use for bribes.
Also, because of its collaboration with the International Red Cross, Waddington could track which sets would be delivered to which camps, meaning escape maps specific to the area could be hidden in each game set. Allied soldiers and pilots headed to the front lines were told to look for the special edition game if they were captured. The identifying mark to check for? A red dot in the corner of the Free Parking space.
Get out of jail free
By the end of the war, it's estimated that more than 35,000 Allied POWs had escaped from German prison camps. And while there's no way to set an exact figure on it, more than a few of those escapees certainly owe their breakout to the classic board game.
But despite its brave and noble role in all of it, Monopoly's heroic war deeds would go unrecognized for decades. Strict secrecy about the plan was maintained during the war, not only so that the British could continue using the game to help POWs, but also because Waddington feared a targeted reprisal by German bombers.
After the war, all remaining sets were destroyed, and everyone involved in the plan, including the escaped prisoners, were told to keep quiet. In the event of another large-scale war, Allied officials also wanted to make sure the seemingly innocent board game could go back into action.
Uncle Pennybags goes behind the Iron Curtain
Believe it or not, it wasn't long before Monopoly found itself in the middle of yet another international conflict -- this time defending itself from Communist leaders in Russia.
Being that Monopoly is essentially a game in which one player gets rich at the expense of others becoming poor, Soviet officials had long seen the board game as an overt symbol of capitalistic frivolity and greed. So, as its popularity soared, Communists took more and more efforts to curb the enthusiasm.
Cuba, the U.S.S.R., and other Eastern Bloc countries outlawed the game for fear it would corrupt the public with positive notions about a free-market economy. Soviet leaders even tried coming up with their own Marxist-themed spin-off games designed to highlight the virtues of frugality. The title of one such knockoff from Communist-era Hungary loosely translated to "Save," while another in Russia had a name that roughly meant "Manage."
But bans and spin-offs couldn't hold down the individualistic drive of the human spirit. Monopoly became an underground success, secretly coveted and played behind the Iron Curtain as a way of escaping the drudgery of Soviet life. It wasn't until 1987, four years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, that Monopoly was allowed to be legally sold there.
Today, Monopoly is licensed in more than 80 countries, and no fewer than 200 spin-off versions exist. Of course, playing it in the cozy confines of your living room, it's easy to take for granted that there was a time when, to many, Monopoly was a lot more than just a game.

"AGW - a debunked hypothesis.
‘Carbon Pollution’ - no such thing - pure propaganda.
The Mann Hockey Stick - a scientific fraud.
ETS - an unnecessary tax that can’t fix a non existent problem.
Never will an opposition be presented with such an easy policy to oppose. And think of the fun they could have doing it."
