It all began in October last year, when the people of Melton finally became aware of the Mosque that had been approved for Harkness Rd.
We then found out that the Al Iman Islamic School had secured the lease on Melton's Vic Uni campus. The school opened at the start of this year, and is moving towards holding classes from Kindergarten right through to secondary, the principal being none other than Zulfiquar Ali, the former principal at the Islamic College of South Australia, the school that came under fire after parents became concerned about the possibility of the radicalisation of students.
Finally, if we weren't already concerned enough about the obvious plans of the followers of Islam to make Melton their next Islamic enclave, in May we became aware of "Iqra Village", Melton's very own Islamic housing estate, with over seventy lots, available to Muslims via Sharia finance, as quoted in the Herald Sun, "Homebuyers originally bought the subdivided lots under sharia law, which prohibits borrowing money where interest is payable, so the venture was financed by several investors", a plan for a Mosque in the center of the project, only one way in and one way out of the future enclave that's set out almost like a secure bunker, and said entry is by a street convieniently named Ayesha Ave.
We have since seen some involved in this project backing away from the original advertising by the developer, in an attempt to claim it is not an estate for Muslims, but with a street named Ayesha Ave, a reference to Mohammad's child bride, it's location being in Melton Sth, only a few hundred meters down the road from the Islamic School, with the local Melton South butcher being bought and now trading as a halal grocery store, the lots subdivided and sold off under "sharia finance", and the fact that the estate is named "Iqra Village", " Iqra", a word in the Quran that means - "read" or "recite", for the prophet (Mohammad) of the followers of Islam directly, it is a command to "preach and to speak the message". All this makes it pretty obvious that is most definately and Islamic housing estate.
In this short few months we have seen the visible presence of Islam increase in the community, we all know that only a year or so ago it was unthinkable that you would see a niqab or burka covered woman in Melton, a site that is now all too common.
We see what is being done in the name of this barbaric ideology right around the world.
We've just witnessed another attack in France, with families including children mowed down by a truck, slaughtered just as the founder of Islam, their prophet slaughtered non Muslims all those years ago.
There is another Islamic attack somewhere in the world almost every day, and you know what the places where these attacks are taking place have in common, they all have large Islamic populations, where this ideology has the biggest presence is where these terror attacks in the name of Allah occur.
We will not let the Islamic ideology spread through Melton, we must stop it from spreading throughout Australia!
This is why on Sunday the 28th of August, the True Blue Crew calls upon the people of Melton, the people of Victoria, and patriots from all over Australia to make your way to Melton, and join us as we tell the followers of Islam that their ideology is not welcome in Melton, or Australia.
This is a town that will do whatever is required to prevent the Islamic ideology from taking hold.
Make sure you all join us as we
RALLY AGAINST THE RISE OF ISLAM IN MELTON!!!!

Patriots,we have a bit of a wait until the next alection.The goal by the final vote count is to have Pauline as the next PM.As impossible as this may sound now,the actions of the invaders world wide are making the average person wake up at an accelerated rate.They are beginning to panic,and rightly so,they are able to envision a world of utter brutality under the Islamic yoke.Our country is now under the rulership of treasonous hypocrites .If my hope is not fully realised,we must at least have close to a dozen One Nation members in parliament by final count.In the meantime,PH and her team must prevent the ruiling beasts from doing any more severe damage to Australia.See you at Melton.

During his travels he met and married a Thai woman. They settled in Bangkok, Thailand in 1978 where he set up an English teaching school. He sold the school ten years later after the marriage broke down due to very personal reasons.

Soon after that he set up an IT company and a couple of years later he got into the real estate business as well. In 1998 Mike met and married his current Thai wife. In 2008 he sold the company and returned home to Australia in 2009, expecting to retire and enjoy the fruits of his many years in business.

During his spare time he enjoys writing short stories and he has even written a novel. Mike also writes and records his own music, and he loves painting and fishing.Soon after returning home, Mike wrote a novel about the experiences of a World War Two veteran who was captured by the Japanese in Singapore, 1942. The Aussie Digger was subsequently sent to work on the Burma Railway in Thailand, and then shipped to Kyushu where he worked in the Mitsui Coal Mines. He says the Nagasaki atomic bomb saved the lives of thousands of POW’s, as well as averting a bloodbath if the Allies had been forced to invade Japan. Mike’s first published book, POW 921 is available online.

Five whistleblowers say the company culture encouraged sales staff to defraud potential customers on a large scale by billing them for policies they never signed up for.

The whistleblowers also say customers are having claims rejected due to a cult-like corporate culture that drives staff to falsify insurance documents to make sales. Youi's customers are left paying for policies that don't actually cover them.

"I started in sales, and I witnessed managers changing data, changing the colour of cars, changing insurance history," says one whistleblower.

"The whole thing makes me sick. It's all a big cover-up."

quote:

​Youi's sales staff are pushed to get credit card details in every phone call, the whistleblowers say.

Unlike other insurers you cannot get an insurance quote from Youi online – it must be through a phone interview. This is a deliberate tactic to allow Youi's calls centre to pressure customers, whistleblowers say.

On the phone, customers are often told they can't be provided with a quote until credit card numbers are handed over.

Once the credit card details are secured, some of Youi's sales representatives put them through as a sale, no matter what the customer asked for.

quote:

The cult of Youi

Why are Youi's sales staff engaged in such unethical behaviour? Every whistleblower pointed to the same culprit: the sales team's commission system.

Youi tells its sales staff they can earn huge commissions. But commissions are not reliant on the number of sales; rather, staff get bonuses based on how many more sales they make than their workmates.

A computer determines how many inbound customers are routed to each sales team member. The computer ensures people who sell more policies get more calls, and thus commissions.

Sales representatives are literally competing against each other for commissions from a central pool. One person's success is another person's failure. This breeds both a toxic, high-stress environment – and encourages unethical sales tactics.

Holy poo poo the election result in NT. That's a savaging and then some. When's the ACT election being held? I heard a bit about it when I was in Canberra, but didn't hear a date.

15th of October. It'll be closer than the NT result since the Liberals seem determined to tap into a "infrastructure=bad" vibe, but I don't think they'll form government.

So Labor seem likely to oppose the plebiscite - that's a good thing, yeah? I can't see a few months of taxpayer-funded vitriol before the community passes judgement on the legitimacy of your relationship as being something desirable, but then being hetero cisgendered scum I can already get married to the person I love without waiting got Parliament to catch up with society.

The plebiscite's almost certainly not gonna happen, the thing I wonder now is if Labor can push through a vote for same sex marriage in the parliament. As far as I can tell everyone but Katter and the LNP will vote in favour, which means 2 coalition reps would need to cross the floor. I know they're talking tough about a unified party and how a plebiscite is the only way to get gay marriage, but I wonder if when push comes to shove the pro-gay marriage LNP members will decide to vote with the right side of history.

Of course that's if a bill manages to reach the floor, I don't know much about parliamentary procedure but I assume there's procedural measures the coalition could use to prevent holding a vote?
