Child sex abuse at Synagogue/ Yeshivah Centre  to be investigated  by Royal Commission into child sex abuse

Tzedek  A Jewish community free of child sexual abuse Tzedek is an Australian-based support and advocacy group for Jewish victims/survivors of child sexual abuse. We are dedicated to prevention through education and public awareness.

From the CEO I write this on my final day as Tzedek CEO. It’s been an incredible journey – with many successes, challenges and incredible milestones. There was also the occasional mishap. Despite the significant costs, I have no regrets in publicly disclosing my personal experience of abuse and my decision to establish Tzedek. I’m proud of what I have achieved and look forward to this ongoing journey. Thank you to all those who have supported me and Tzedek in any way – victims/survivors and their families, volunteers, donors, subscribers, and some by simply sharing your support privately or publicly. Please continue to support the important work of Tzedek in any way you can.   Tzedek is currently undertaking a recruitment process and my replacement will be finalised in due course. For those interested, look out for the ads in the next few weeks.   While I will now join the Tzedek Board of Advisors, I will no longer have any operational involvement with Tzedek. You can contact our Project Officer, Liat, who has done an outstanding job since she joined us several months ago (info@tzedek.org.au).   Personally, I will now focus on the impending Royal Commission public hearing into the Yeshivah Centre, which is expected to take place early next year. Over the summer I will be relocating overseas with my family (although I will return for the public hearing). I have also commenced work on a major global initiative; to address the issue of child sexual abuse within the global Jewish community. More details will be announced in due course.   While we have made significant progress, we still have a long way to go. Therefore I will proudly remain a victim advocate, and dedicate myself to this cause for as long as I possibly can. For many reasons it is not an easy area to work in, but I don’t feel like I have a choice. Just as I felt compelled to speak out publicly in 2011, I feel compelled to continue this critical work.   I can be contacted through social media (Facebook/Twitter – Manny Waks) and expect that my new website will go live shortly (www.mannywaks.com). You’ll be able to see updates, my opeds, articles of interest etc.   Thank you again, and I look forward to continuing this journey with many of you.   Warm wishes, Manny   PS If you have the capacity to financially support this new global initiative, please contact me directly. Of course this should not come at the expense of supporting Tzedek.

It looks like the Dodgy Australian Federal police are trying their best yet again to fuck everyone over. From Peter Colvin  telling the Australian Public they were  now going into  policing  piracy and downloading  of music and movies because this fucker has no idea about anything to the Commander Glen McEwen of the Australian Federal Police Cyber crime unit who arrested Mathew Flannery for being the leader of LulzSec

Clearly this fucker from the Australian Federal  along with Peter Colvin  show that the AFP has no idea on nothing!!!!!!

Commander McEwen said he did not back away from his comments that Flannery was a risk to Australian society..

Terrorism is the worst crime we face: AFP

POLICE have defended a proposal to give them easier access to unprecedented powers by claiming terrorism is greater than any other crime.

AUSTRALIAN Federal Police assistant commissioner Neil Gaughan wants streamlined access to control orders, he told a parliamentary committee reviewing the foreign fighters Bill on Thursday.

Control orders, which must be issued by a court, impose obligations and restrictions on a person to protect the public from terrorism.

The order may include a curfew, wearing an electronic monitoring tag, restrictions on communications, regular reporting to police, and a range of other measures.

But they're controversial.

They have only been sought and issued twice since their introduction in 2005 - to Jack Thomas and David Hicks.

The UK abolished its control order regime in 2011.

The AFP wants to streamline the process of applying through the attorney-general to save time and paperwork.

When asked by the committee why the AFP needed control orders instead of arresting and prosecuting terrorist suspects, Mr Gaughan replied there was a legal hole when it came to the admissibility of foreign collected evidence.

"In a perfect world, I agree, we would be arresting people," he said.

"If we don't have sufficient evidence for beyond reasonable doubt to get a prosecution, this provides us another alternative."

When asked by Senator Penny Wong why that wasn't an argument for lowering the threshold for a range of other crimes, Mr Gaughan replied: "Because I think the impact of terrorism on the Australian community is distinctively greater than any other crime we face."

The reply startled a number of the federal politicians present, with deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek asking Mr Gaughan to repeat himself.

"The impact on the Australian community of a terrorist attack, in my view, will have a greater impact than any other crime.

"In relation to public confidence, morale and how people respond."

Deputy Chair Anthony Byrne then put the following to Mr Gaughan: "Be truthful. Just say what (this request) is instead of this piecemeal rubbish.

"You've got an emergency situation ... you've got an agency that's struggling to cope ... you've got control orders that in the past haven't been used, so what you're doing is you're desperately trying to find a legal mechanism that you can use to disrupt or prevent terrorism?

"Correct," Mr Gaughan replied.

Meta Data, the AFP Commissioner and a whole lot of  shit!!!!
So on thursday  dinosaur  Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin who obviously has no fucking idea about the internet said that the meta data that internet companies  were now required to keep for 2 years   would be used to track down people who pirated movies and music. Clearly this fucker did not realize that in fact  copyright was not a criminal offence even though he holds  the position of Top Cop in Australia.
Then on Friday Colvin backed down on his threat because someone had mentioned to him that this was actually none of the fucking AFP's business.
Considering that any hacker wanting to download pirated movies or music would use a proxy server in a far away country  and therefore hide their tracks  and anyone that has turned to "THE DARK SIDE"  will do the same who is  the AFP and  the Australian Parliament think they are going to catch with these new laws??????
It appears Abbott is just sucking up to Obama and Colvin is just a puppet who has no fucking idea what so ever!!!!!!
