Senators Brown and Nettle ordered to be removed for protesting
At this point in his speech, Mr Bush was interrupted by Australian Greens Senator Bob Brown, who was then ordered from the chamber by the Speaker. And when Senator Kerry Nettle was also ordered out for protesting, Mr Bush lifted his voice and said: "I love free speech."
Senator Brown managed to get back into the chamber and later shook Mr Bush's hand while Senator Nettle attempted to push some papers into Mr Bush's hands, which he refused to take. Leader of the House Tony Abbott moved for the Greens senators to be suspended.
GO Bob!!
lol he can be a legend sometimes...i think hes the only Australian politician that gets in there...hes been aressted a few times.

Mr Bush, here is why we opposed the Iraq war
October 23, 2003
Forty-one ALP federal parliamentarians have written an open letter to George Bush.
Dear President Bush,
The friendship between our countries is longstanding and deeply felt. We have a great deal in common, particularly our commitment to democracy. We retain our commitment to the ANZUS alliance.
That's why we feel it's important for you to understand why so many Australians opposed the war on Iraq.
Australians have a history of support for international efforts to stop the spread of weapons including weapons of mass destruction and landmines. Weapons inspectors should have been given the time they asked for to peacefully disarm Iraq. No evidence of a massive weapons building program nor capability has emerged since the war. Australia, the US and Britain went to war because of a "clear and present danger" which just did not exist.
The ALP firmly believes that international conflict should, wherever possible, be dealt with peacefully and through international co-operation under the auspices of the United Nations. When all attempts for a peaceful resolution have been exhausted, United Nations sanction is vital if force is to be used.
What is to prevent other countries from following the example of our attack on Iraq, and arguing the right to preventative self-defence? Why shouldn't North and South Korea attack each other using the template we developed in Iraq? Or India and Pakistan?
The precedent we have set is a very dangerous one, and there is every indication that the world will become less safe, not more, because of our actions. Certainly the British Joint Intelligence Committee believes the risk of terrorism will increase due to the war with Iraq.
Our own government knew of this increased risk before the war and refused to tell the Australian people.
Many Australians have continuing concerns about what will happen in Iraq now. Civil unrest continues. The death toll for Iraqis and US, UK and allied troops mounts. The bombing of the United Nations headquarters shocked the world, and it seems that instead of eradicating terrorism in Iraq the country has become a terrorist magnet.
The United States must now redouble its efforts to enlist the help of the world community to bring peace and rebuild Iraq, and then withdraw as soon as practicable. Iraqis must regain control of their destinies and their resources as soon as possible.
While many of us didn't support the war on Iraq, all Australians welcome the end of Saddam Hussein's brutal regime.
Our hope for Iraq is that there will be a strong, stable, democratic government which represents all the people of Iraq, including the ethnic and religious minorities.
Our hope is that the people of Iraq will have control over the rich resources of their country and be able to use those resources for their collective benefit. Our hope for the world is that this mistake will lead us to renew our commitment to the United Nations and its processes for promoting and maintaining global peace.

US Secret Service have to disagree with your opinion. They take this **** seriously after 9/11 and especially during this Iraq thing.
I've been around the internet long enough and saw quite a few people got their ass ban from forums all because they made threats to kill someone and this is "someone", not US President.
It's like yelling "fire" in the theater when you meant as a joke, right?

I know old Morty's not a kid, but I don't for one second think his going to pull out a sniper rifle and take pot shots at George.
I think any phone call to the authorities would be pretty silly and a waste of peoples time.

if you want to make a threat against my "president" (well, i have two prime ministers because i hold dual citizenship) on a messageboard, go ahead. i won't call the authorities. i won't call you names. hell, you can visit my countries and make the threats in person. the authorities may not appreciate your actions, but i could care less. frankly, i have more important things to worry about.

first of all, your post makes little sense. i mention hate crime legislation and you counter my post with the same info? i said issuing threats against others could be prosecuted as a hate-crime, so you either misunderstood my post or are supporting it.
yes it is illegal to make threats against a public figure, but it is also illegal to make threats against others as well, which, in the context of this message board, would apply to muslims, for example. correct me if i am wrong but you were silent when some on this messageboard have made threats towards muslims. why is this?
how am i being a hypocrite? i would not and never have threatened any public figure. but i'm also intelligent enough to discern jest from the genuine article. i am commenting on the fact that some of you have popped your load a little early by dragging the secret service into this. criticise the initial post, but to start threatening legal action seems rather immature.

huh? killing taliban? i am talking making threats towards muslims in general. some on this board have expressed views that could be construed as being hateful, thus potentially in violation of hate-crime legislation. bear in mind that i have been deliberately vague, because hate-crime legislation varies from one country to another. add the fact that this a messageboard.
but you're focusing on a few trees and missing the forest. when racist posts directed at muslims emerged, very few of the more conservative members said anything (i only remember trigger stepping up to the plate). some have routinely suggested so-called "hippies" should get a good beating for expressing their views (one of many examples: the kid wearing the anti-bush shirt), but did you say anything? notice how the more liberal members did not threaten to contact the aclu or the authorities? we know that this is a messageboard, and that people tend to shoot their mouths off (including yours truly). mortimer's post was never to be taken seriously for obvious reasons. moreover, he merely delivered the punchline to a joke started by another member. the latter was fully aware that mortimer's comment was made in jest. however, some members have jumped all over this incident and made statements about contacting the secret service. some, including myself, have suggested that the rhetoric may be taken down a few notches. this is the extent of our intervention.

How amazing!!! Mortimer still doesn't know how to keep his mouth right after the threat. Indeed, he was joking by his sarcastic and careless comments :roll: My feeling tells me that he wasn't joking just by reading all his previous posts in the past.
www.militaryphotos.net locates in United States I believe. But Mortimer's dumbass comment probably get this site shut down if any government official read this.
and if i was on the grassy knoll your dumbass president would be dead.
Mortimer I have posted a list of this thread to the United States Secret Service. I don't know if anything will happen. But I will say that threatening the life of the United States President is not thought of lightly.
lol
you suck
you honestly think they'll follow it up? its not even in their jursidiction.
oh no the secret service is after me!!
i've got a btter idea
call the Australian Terror hotline
1800 123 400 ..dunno the international number for it though.
:bash:

Pinkeye,
Don't blame me dude. Go back and read all Mortimer posts. He challenged me and Deuterium to report this to US Secret Service. If you are not so bias you would have realize that. It's his dumbass made the threat and made challenge. Do you still think that's a joke?

I think it is in the best interest of the site for mortimer to be banned and this thread locked.
There is a huge difference between killing people like Saddam Hussein or Bin Laden and Killing people like Bush, Putin or Chiraq...
Elected officials are elected by the people for the people.
Saddam and his chronies came to power through murder.
Saddam and his chronies came to power through murder.
And by the money and power of the USA, lets not forget Saddam was quite handy during the war against Iran :roll:

Yes Kriz, as has been hammered home time and time again ad nauseum, the U.S. supported Iraq in the 80's. Do you have anything relevant to add?

.Pinkeye, If others have made similar threats against ANYONE and I have read it and not condemned their actions then I AM WRONG. I don't live in a glass house. I'm not aware of this happening but if it did you are entirely correct, I should have condemned them also. I certainly don't agree with the majority of things you, Mortimer, and Spier write about. I don't know any of you personally so I can't really say why you guys are so confused in your thinking. But I am a man of principles and I thank you for allowing me to publicly state the above. I will always vigorously debate your inaccurate conclusions to current and past events. I might even make a simple joke but I won't make a personal attack nor EVER JOKE ABOUT KILLING people. This you have my word on

Wholly bag of hammered monkey sheeet!!
Just took a look at the string and it is way out of control. Jack I like your All American grunt attitude but I have to admit your a little protective of our Commander. Mort said some pretty stupid crap and the big pile of it in this string stinks up the post pretty good... but I think George and our CIA can talk care of themselves. I'm sure that a REMF like mort has better flames to chase instead of doing something challenging like assasination. One good point though.. whether Militaryphotos is base in the US or not .. talk like that is gonna get the site a lot of attention in a negative way. (I'm sure it isn't the first time.) If you want something really pro American soldier to piss of Mort and the like.. check out www.ehowa.com. Ernie loves us grunts.

Nothing like living in the land of the free eh Deuterium? :-)
cheers
front - actually it is called "terroristic threatening" it has been a law for many, many years...even threatening to kill anyone can fall into this catagory as it may cause the victim a lose of his rights as he now potentially will live in fear..
SO YES in fact there is "Nothing like living in the land of freedom"...and that includes free from threats of bodily harm...
I will bet money the country in which you live has similiar statues...as does Canada, England, and Aus.
Although the Mortimer's comments are out of line, reflect his typical willingness to post anything to flame others, his absurd sense of logic and is in violation according the rules of the Forum...
....I doubt that anything should happen...

well sure his comments were taken out of context and probably shouldnt have been made. But i have heard of you guys threating "hippies" and "liberals" before and they certainly didnt whine and bitch and moan about it now did they? Did they call the cops? Did they email there local fbi office and inform them that they were being made fun of and threatened on a website? No they didnt. So maybe you guys should take a dose of your own medicine and shut up and sit on it....im sure your guys tax dollars can be better off spent somewere else like iraq or afghanistan instead of having your local fbi waste time and money on reading threw a forum.
p.s. jack quit trying to boost your ego by saying you work for the government
p.p.p.s. maybe everyone should learn to take a joke now and then p-)
