 Wrote a clear explaination of " How the Bikie Bill fails all of us" (The Advertiser 4/11/2008) |
 TODAY/TONIGHT "BIKIE BILL" ITEM the Today/Tonight journalist, Sharon Smith for her outstanding work in presenting a serious concern held by many riders in SA. We are both humbled and impressed by Sharon's skills at telling a story! We welcome you thoughts so tell us on the forum! and the dedication of Channel 7 Adelaide? This item aired 16/4/2008 (you will need broadband and it may take a while to load) We had thought of taking this article off the web site but it continues to attract a lot of interest both here and off youtoube where we believe it has over 2,000 hits! The Sunday Show, which is a National Program for the Nine Network has also covered this item. Click here to watch their news item (you will need broadband and it may take a while to load) |

In the mean time please read this open letter from Sandra Kanck MLC and her suggestions for what YOU can do NOW! |

Copy of Universal Declaration of Human Rights: http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html
Article 6- "an individual before the law"
Article 7 - "EQUAL before the law.."
Article 8 - " right to (uh..) "due process".
Article 9 - " arbitrary arrest"
Article 11 - presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Aerticle 12 - right to privacy.
All of these are contradicted in the Bill !! and more.
Copy of Magna Carta: http://www.britannia.com/history/docs/magna2.html
as the basis of all modern law.
Article 39 - alludes to "due process" and innocence until guilty Article 40 - right to justice and others.
English Bill of Rights 1688 (our only law about our rights!!)

This one is more complex but,
Article 1 (part1) - dispensing with Federal Law and International Law by State Law is not allowed.
Article 9 (part2) - freedom of speech
and inherent within the document.

From the Department of Immigration website at:
http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-australia/values/background/index.htm
Australian values include:
tolerance, fair play, compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good
Although these values may be expressed differently by different people, their meaning stays the same. The values may not be unique to Australia, but they have broad community agreement and underpin Australian society and culture.
The /Life in Australia/ book contains information about Australian history, culture and social structures. It is designed to help you understand Australian values before you sign the values statement on your visa application.
