Kevin Andrews won an awardquote:A conservative Christian group holding its annual conference in Melbourne this weekend has named the federal social services minister, Kevin Andrews, as its 2014 “Natural Family Man of the Year”. A win for the government! quote:In a speech to the World Congress of Families annual gathering in Madrid in 2012, Okafor speculated that Western countries advocating for gay rights in Africa were involved in “a conspiracy” to “silence Christians” with the terrorist group Boko Haram. “Unfortuntately, in Nigeria where I come from, we have these fundamentalists, the Boko Haram – I’m sure you’ve heard about them in the news – bombing churches. They seem to be helping some people in Western countries who are out to silence Christians. The Boko Haram are targeting Christians in Nigeria, so you wonder if there’s a conspiracy between the two worlds,” she said. - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/conte...h.VZRpmwra.dpuf

I guess whoever is going to host them will keep it close to their chest. Then again, they may just end up in Melbourne Government House and be done with it.

Here's a hint: it wasn't the Allies.

Tony Abbott says counter-terrorism measures are not aimed at Muslimsquote:Tony Abbott has told colleagues the government “must not demonise any particular community” as it moves to toughen security laws, seeking to head off criticism from some Islamic groups that Australian Muslims felt they were being targeted. Probably should have said that at the start maybe?

The total number of people deported was 6,150. Of these, 5,414 people had been interned, the rest were family members or those ordered by the Defence Department to leave the country. Over one thousand people appealed to the Commonwealth Alien Board against deportation. Only 306 were successful. They included 179 naturalised or native born Australians. The 306 were the only people allowed to stay from the 5,600 internees still at Holsworthy at the end of the war.
