1 1 February 2012 Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs Parliament House Canberra, ACT 2600 Dear Honorable Members, Re: - Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory Bill 2011 - Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory (Consequential and Transitional Provision) Bill 2011 - Social Security Legislation Amendment Bill 2011 I hereby express My Will to each elected representative to STOP any form of intervention on peoples’ personal affairs without the individual’s proper consent and any form of intervention to be on a “voluntary” democratic basis without harassment, or coercion.
The proposed abovementioned Bills are in contradiction with the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution - Part V – Powers of Parliament Section 51 – “The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order and good government of the Commonwealth.
Sub-section: (xxiii A) the provision of maternity allowances, widows’, pensions, child endowment unemployment, pharmaceutical, sickness and hospital benefits, medical and dental services services (but not so to authorize any form of civil conscription), benefits to students and family allowances.
Regarding the Northern Territory (NT) Intervention – please “listen” to the Will of the Elders within their communities and organize proper “Mandates” via referendums within communites rather then relying on a “a handful of bureaucratic surveys”.

The further imposition of the NT Intervention to be extended for another 10 years blatantly is a form of dictatorship.
This Unconstitutional NT Intervention was primarily to be for 5 years – the elected representatives are informed that if the intervention is extended for another 10 years, than they have committed an offence of lying to the Aboriginal Peoples.

2 For your consideration, would you vote the Northern Intervention Legislation on yourself and family?

How would you feel, if you were described as “vulnerable and given a Basics Card” whereby your purchases are controlled and monitored?
A recommendation for you to trial - allocate the weekly pension amount to yourself till the 28 February 2012 and pretend that you are on a Basics Card in order to ascertain first hand knowledge, of how it feels to be termed “ vulnerable” and that you are reminded of your vulnerability every day.

Furthermore, the Star Chamber processes of fining people and in many cases jail time for punitive offences is Unconstitutional.
There is the monument of the Magna Carta in Canberra, please take the time to have a read of it, and apply it accordingly.

We, have a Bill of Rights in Section 80 of the Commonwealth Constitution.

I will await for your response and I have expressed My Will that the above proposals be dismissed.

I thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

M. Smyrnis

TRAVEL ADVISORY UPDATED ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA TRAVEL ADVISORY The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has updated its travel advisory effective August 29, 2022, to facilitate the smooth movement of passengers to and from the country.

Antigua and Barbuda has benefited from a highly successful strategy of mass vaccinations, quick detection of imported and community-spread infections, and proactive public awareness campaigns in significantly reducing COVID-19 infection levels for the past five (5) months.
At the same time.

the State remains focused on its ongoing interventions to mitigate the risk of a resurgence of COVID-19 levels.

This strategy is intended to protect and safeguard the health of both residents and visitors to Antigua and Barbuda.

Nationals and residents of Antigua and Barbuda are strongly advised to check travel advisories of destination countries prior to travel at this time.

The protocols implemented are as follows: 1.


All COVID-19 restrictions are to be lifted for arriving passengers by air.

2.

COVID-19 restrictions are also lifted for persons arriving by yacht or ferry services.

However, all marine pleasure craft and ferry services entering the waters of Antigua and Barbuda should contact the Antigua Port Authority, using VHF Channel 16, at least six (6) hours prior to arrival.
Instructions will be given to guide the crafts to either the Nevis Street Pier or English/Falmouth Harbours, Jolly Harbour, or other holding areas.

3.

Passengers arriving aboard cruise ships are subject to the protocols enforced by the cruise lines until such time as the cruise lines themselves alter their protocols.

4.

Visitors are required to observe all protocols as stipulated by the management of businesses such as offices, banks, hotels, restaurants, and excursions for the duration of their trip.
5.

The wearing of face masks and social/physical distancing protocols in public spaces is actively encouraged throughout Antigua and Barbuda, especially wherever there are gatherings of significant numbers of people e.g.

Financial abuse amongst immigrants.

Financial abuse is the most silent and a very covert way of manipulation, emotional abuse and the best way chosen by perpetrators towards victim, mostly by immigrants.

Its not limited to any economic status or any educational background by either victim or perpetrator.

We have seen doctors, lawyers, highly reputable and very highly qualified people using this technique to harass their partner through this.
Even highly qualified professional (who used to have a very stable life back home) have suffered enormously due to this form of abuse, particularly when settling down in new country.

Gradually it escalates to other form of abuse and the cycle continues.

It is used to public shame and blame the victim, isolating the victim by humiliation through family and friends.
Used to control all everyday activities and family decisions and therefore removing the power from the victim and taking all control by the perpetrators.

And the FV continues in various forms.

Dowry is the financial control, with full approval by family members, so allowing the Son/Husband to control with full approval of society/family members.

One of the most manipulated social system, highly deformed for benefit of the privileged/Boy side.
They cleverly use this with a highly greedy mindset and pretend innocent amongst public.

It’s a heinous practice which is highly shameful and law enforcement on this practice is a very welcome step.

Absolutely agree for a law enforcement and recognition of this practice as a crime.

Want to be part of this change.

FSRC Held Meeting With the Corporate Management and Trust Service Provider Sector On August 23, 2016, the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (“the Commission”) held a meeting with the Corporate Management sector to apprise stakeholders of the emerging international developments affecting the sector, to introduce the E-Registry platform and to explore ways to raise the profile of Antigua and Barbuda as an attractive IBC Jurisdiction.
It was also an opportunity for the sector to share their ideas, comments and suggestions with the Commission.

In the opening of the meeting a presentation on the AML/CFT risks affecting the sector was presented by Mr. Derek Benjamin-Senior Financial Analyst of the ONDCP.
During the meeting, licensees were updated on the Commission’s decision to contract the services of Dot Gov Solutions (formerly Alpha XP), an e-government consulting company to develop and implement an IBC online registry and e-filing system for the FSRC which will automate the incorporation and post-incorporation processes .
A presentation of the demo pages of the e-registry platform including the user log in page, service providers’ options to populate forms and upload supporting documents, as well as the top-up feature and account balance information screens were presented to the sector.

In addition to the foregoing, licensees were updated on the international call for jurisdictions to establish a central registry of beneficial owners of companies registered in their jurisdictions, in support of FATF Recommendation 24.
In this regard the licensees were informed the Commission will be establishing a non-public central registry of beneficial ownership of IBCs incorporated in Antigua and Barbuda for the purpose of being readily available to meet requests for information from legitimate competent authorities, and in preparation for the 2017 FATF Mutual Evaluation.

Licensees were also informed of the findings of recent onsite examinations which further support the need for a central registry of beneficial ownership.
During the meeting, licensees were updated on the Commission’s decision to form a committee comprising industry representatives, FSRC personnel and Board members tasked with exploring strategies for increasing the awareness and profile of Antigua and Barbuda as an IBC jurisdiction.

Present at the opening of the meeting was the Commission’s CEO Ms. Brenda Sheppard, who was formally introduced to the Corporate Management and Trust sector.

４ Strategy on Defense Production and Technological Bases ～Toward strengthening the bases to support defense forces and ‘Proactive Contribution to Peace’～（Excerpts：Provisional Translation） （３）Defense equipment and technology cooperation ～Based on the Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology announced in April 2014, MOD will take necessary measures under the government’s leadership to proactively and strategically promote defense equipment and technology cooperation such as international joint development and production, in order to contribute to maintaining and enhancing defense production and technological bases as well as peace contribution and international cooperation.
④ Improving bases for defense equipment and technology cooperation Promoting new defense equipment and technology cooperation requires a framework for cooperation.
Given that recent international joint development and production involve multiple countries, in order to raise the predictability of partner countries and defense industries as well as promote cooperation, MOD will formulate a framework which will enable the transfer of defense equipment, with nations that are likely to become partners in international joint development and production.
In addition, MOD will study the postures and systems for smoothly promoting cooperation under government commitment and oversight throughout the life-cycle of transferred defense equipment, since information possessed by MOD regarding coordination with partner countries about their transfer conditions or issues concerning education, training, maintenance and upkeep regarding the operation of defense equipment, may need to be transferred to partner countries and relevant companies.
（６）Measures through cooperation with relevant ministries Other than studying contract systems and research and development measures, in order to strengthen defense industries, MOD needs to consider supporting measures utilizing other ministries’ measures.
For example, it would be effective to strengthen cooperation with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in utilizing various tax preferences and subsidies, and Inquiry into Government Support for Australian Defence Industry ExportsSubmission 49 - Attachment 4 ４ implement measures which would allow defense industries including small and medium enterprises to make use of such supporting schemes.
In addition, MOD will study and take necessary measures, including utilizing supporting measures such as fiscal investments and loans to facilitate measures such as the transfer of defense equipment that would contribute to maintaining and enhancing defense production and technological bases.

MOD will also continue to review the legal restrictions regarding defense industries.

Submission into the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committees Inquiry into the Family Law Legislation Amendment (Family Violence and Other Measures) Bill 2011 I do not support and would appreciate you using your influence against the passing of the Family Violence Bill on the basis of points listed in summary below: A Summary below of what the Family Violence bill really means to innocent Australian men and Children, by doing the following:  creates an effective presumption of guilt against innocent fathers in family law matters  makes conclusive evidence, especially in defence of abuse claims, subservient to subjective beliefs  removes penalties against knowingly false allegations of child abuse & domestic abuse  provides tacit encouragement for Parental Alienation by removing the ‘friendly parent’ provision  perpetuates the offensive and unfounded stereotype that men are a natural threat to their children  perpetuates the untruth that Shared Parenting exposes children to child abuse.
In fact, shared parenting households are statistically the safest environments for children.
 perpetuates the unfounded presumption that mothers are unable to harm or abuse their children  perpetuates the unfounded presumption that women never engage in domestic abuse  has so diluted the concept of domestic abuse, that it can be applied to any form of behaviour, whether it is real, innocent and benign, or completely imagined;  contravenes the United Nations Convention on the rights of the Child by denying the child their right to participate ‘meaningfully and fully’ with both their mother and their father.
 contravenes the International Bill of Human Rights by denying fathers their right to a fair trial  violates Sex Discrimination standards, by procuring laws designed to only protect half the population from domestic violence, while ignoring or dismissing the other half.
 has slashed funding for post-separation mediation to force parents back into the Court system  will in effect divert seriously scarce child protective resources from their primary task of genuine child protection, to that of chasing up legally motivated allegations.

 will promote sole maternal custody, which according to the Australian Institute of Criminology, accounts for almost 80% of all familial child abuse.

smh.com.au - The Sydney Morning Herald Page I ofl Victims tell of lives destroyed by abuse I Ar"rthor: AAP Date: 1910712$J words: 291 $ource SMH THREE middle-aged men who were child sex abuse victims of the same predator have told a judge of the devastating impact the abuse had on their lives.
Publi*stinn: $ydney Morning Herald $ectisn: Net'ts and Featltres P*g*: 5 "l have not been able to give anyone a cuddle for 25 years," said one victim at the sentencing hearing of Andrew Dean Mclntosh in the NSW District Court yesterdaY.

"l can only hug my own mum fo r abou t 10 secon ds befor e I become uncomfortable and have to push her away."

A second man said his whole life "has been a secret.

I have lost relationships and felt shame all my life."
The third man referred to his depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, nightmares, problems socialising and extreme and violent mood swlngs.

Mclntosh "destroyed my adolescent years and set me up for a life of continued self-torment and fear", the man said.

As the statements were read, Mclntosh, 56, sat in the dock with his eyes lowered, apparently reading documents.

In May, he was found guilty of 18 charges against the three boys, including buggery and indecent assault between 1979 and 1 984.
The jury was told he whipped one boy with a kettle cord, lavished gifts on victims and befriended the families of boys and teenagers.

Mclntosh also faces sentencing after being found guilty at an earlier trial of sex offences in the early 1990s against a student at Barker College, HornsbY.
The viciim, Sascha Chandler - who has given permission for his name to be used - gave "tendency evidence" at the latest trial, saying Mclntosh, the school's adult iadet officer, abused him on school camps and controlled every element of his life.

In 1988, Mclntosh was jailed for at least two years on five counts of indecency against another victim.

The sentencing hearing will continue today before Judge Michael Finnane.

Legislation requiring the immediate reporting of any documented animal abuse would make it highly impractical and in fact almost impossible to demonstrate systemic abuse.

This requires evidence to be gathered over time without there being any possibility of the perpetrators becoming aware that they are being monitored.

Otherwise the abusers could claim that the mistreatment was a one-off occurrence and that they have disciplined the abuser or taken other steps to ensure that it will not happen again.
This way they are likely to receive a much lighter penalty and may not even have a conviction recorded against them.

Afterwards the animals, of course, would continue to suffer.

Legislation regarding our treatment of animals should be aimed at encouraging their systemic humane handling in all aspects of their interaction with people, not discouraging whistleblowers by greatly increasing the likelihood of inadequate penalties and therefore no real changes.
Always remember that animals with a brain and a spinal chord are just as vulnerable to pain and fear as you or I.

Name: Sharyn Sale Submission: The undeniable Murdoch media monopoly poses a threat to Australian democracy.

A disproportionately large amount of media outlets within Australia are operated under the Murdoch regime.

It is rudimentary knowledge that the restriction of anything to only one perspective will ultimately lead to bias.

To even attempt to dispute that is childish.


In Australian media, it manifests itself in the form of right-wing bias, evident within a worryingly large amount of non-independent news outlets.

Because of this abuse of power, right-wing ideologies are seemingly normalised in Australian media, while left-wing ideologies are questioned or even antagonised.

Furthermore, the Murdoch empire is arguably Australia's most disgusting global export.
Both US and UK politics have been affected, and continue to be threatened, by outlets such as Fox News, Sky News, and The Sun.

Murdoch media played a large role in the American Republican party's power, and the outcome of Brexit, demonstrating the continually growing threat it has on national and global democracies.

No one person or organisation should have this much influence over political outcomes.

This sort of unrestrictive, unabashed abuse of media power for political gain, is appalling.
To downplay or deny its existence is ignorant and only continues to prove this point.

The senate needs to support the establishing of a Murdoch Royal Commission for the sake of democracy.

As a teenager growing up in an environment where political polarisation is evident on every media platform I see, I never want to see the powerful and privileged take advantage of media in the way the Murdoch empire has ever again.
Future generations deserve to live in a world where critical thinking is normalised, and mainstream media is diverse and free from political bias.

It is in the best interest of the Australian people that the Australian Government take action to dismantle the Murdoch media monopoly, and put aside political gain to prioritise access to diverse, independent news.
