Major Threats to Children Youth and Family
The tragedy which has become a pestilence to children families and communities in many Western and all Christian dominated countries in the last forty odd years is as insidious as a creeping rising damp in a dank basement.The destruction it has wrought in the last five decades makes the Haiti Earthquake seem like a single fatality car accident. The social consequences can be equated to ex South African President Thabo Mbekis controversial methods of dealing-or not-with aids- and the downstream consequences.
The Major threat to children and families in Australia and First World Western Countries today is Church and Corporate instigated Government interference in community family and in particular, with children. There are many tentacles to Government interference or invasion. masquerades as Child Protection-and is anything but. The infamous Northern Territory Intervention, which masquerades as a response to the highly questionable "Little Children are Scared" Report, is at best repression, at worst, systemic genocide. The base report,constructed by a Northern Territory health worker and an ex Department of Public Prosecutions QC (a senior lawyer) might well be seen to serve the interests of those (and other) government departments.Its worth noting if only for the information of international readers that The Northern Territory is noted in Australia for its abhorrent treatment of aboriginals as second class citizens its high proportion of aboriginal prison inmates, and the beyond third world living conditions imposed on indigenous communities there. But the then Coalition Federal Government, with bipartisan support from the now Labor Government, while spinning the lie that theirs was a response to "The Little Children are Scared", ignored over 90 of its recommendations. The Federal Government Northern Territory Intervention also sought perpetrators of alleged paedophilia exclusively among aboriginal people when the assertions of the base report were that perpetrators included aboriginal and non-aboriginal, and in particular mine workers.
Since its implementation 3 years ago the Northern Territory Intervention has received widespread condemnation internationally yet enjoys the ongoing endorsement of Australian Government, opposition and the mainstream media. By and large the Australian public are prepared to let government do whatever they wish with aboriginals- "Who cares?".
Unsurprisingly, the federal Intervention has been short on successful outcomes- if the intent was to make a harmonious world for children. Instead,Northern Territory aboriginal children and families have become by and large powerless peons in a zoo monitored and manipulated by hostile anglo trained zealots whose mission is to invade their families,their communities and,yes,even their minds. It has not escaped the notice of any aboriginal communities that at the pointy end of the Intervention are reviled racist police-who have an unbroken history of racist repression of aboriginal people. Accompanying them in the vanguard are "health" workers. We don't pretend that there are no health issues in remote Aboriginal communities, however many of these are the direct result of inappropriate housing or other services imposed by government. Their measure of success is not that the subject person is fit and well,but that they are able to serve the ulterior information collection agenda of multiple other departments,including the unfortunately named (known as "fascists"). These so called health "authorities" take it upon themselves to disparage social drugs such as alcohol tobacco and marihuana, while forcing families to take the expensive yet often ineffective chemical concoctions. "Health authorities"- once trusted by communities, yet today despised as State information gatherers, or spies, whose information provided to their superiors is often self serving. Educators, not long ago trusted and respected community members, have today become further objects of valid mistrust thanks to their government imposed role spying on families and communities.Not to mention the questionable standard of education foisted on our hapless youth as education shifts to become a cloning process, a management driven robot assembly line, producing fodder for the globalists who seek all for themselves- and stuff anyone else.
But this applies just to aboriginals,right?? WRONG!! In order to not be in breach of its international human rights obligations (thats the excuse) , the Australian government has decided to progressively roll out an "all Australian" version -which applies to all in the Northern Territory today. At State level New South Wales has StateAbducted an unprecedented number of children in 2009-2010 - on the basis of often scurrilous allegations by case managers-the very people who profit from State Child Abduction.
The most serious threat to children family and community today is no longer lone predators however evil and despicable they may be. That threat has been replaced by your government, working in concert with churches and economic barons to undermine your community and family values, replacing these time tested institutions upon which your ancestors depended, with their objective of monetizing and prospering from people from the cradle to the grave

Housing is a Basic Human Right
The UN Special Rapponteur Raquel Rolnik: Housing is a basic Human Right
@SydneyHomeless say: if the Right to adequate Housing is a basic human right then that right should not be "subject to the whims" of economic interests. Where,as in Australia, Housing is a commodity it is inevitable that housing will be unaffordable for at least a part of the community. For that part of the community which lives without housing, whether by choice or circumstance an extension of that basic human right is the right to erect and maintain shelter on non-private property.

SydneyHomeless on Rough Sleepers Count
The City of Sydney seems determined to attempt to finesse success out of failure.The following excerpt is their result and analysis of the winter Rough Sleepers Count they condcted. Its worth noting that within a fortnight of that count taking place, police arrived in the dead of night and destabilised many of the rough sleeper campsites in direct contravention of the much vaunted NSW State Government Homeless Protocol to which NSW Police are a signatory,but only occasionally an adherent.
This is email is a little later than our usual communique's to release the results of the Street Count but the results were a little surprising so we wanted to do a little investigation around this. Last August you counted 289 people sleeping rough on the streets of the City of Sydney's Local Government Area (LGA). That's a decrease of 129 people counted 6 months prior to that.
SydneyHomeless Response:There is a cyclical seasonal fluctuation in rough sleeper numbers in Sydney with (unsurprisingly) more in summer than winter months.
Those of you who have participated in previous counts or who track results on our website would know that the number of rough sleepers counted in the February 2010 Street Count was 418, an increase on the numbers of rough sleepers counted in August 2009 which was 399.
SydneyHomeless Response: Unfortunately City of Sydney figures ALWAYS grossly understate the number of Rough Sleepers in Sydney City,for the following reasons.
City of Sydney Rough Sleeper count is conducted between about 1am & 3 am -many & especially the elderly long term rough sleepers sleep in the day.On our counts the day sleepers identified comprise 40%-45% of sleepers.
COS count does not include those sleeping in vehicles,or those sleeping on private property with or without the tacit approval of security guards.
Last COS count also does not include many who explicitly "hid" from counters as per our advisement, due to police action in the aftermath of the previous Homeless Rough Sleeper Count.
Two long term Asian homeless camps numbering between 40-60 sleepers on any given night have absolutely no contact with ANY agencies.
As we knew many of you would have questions about such a significant drop in numbers, we did a little sleuthing to try to get an understanding of what those results might mean.
The good news is that there is reason to be hopeful that we are witnessing an actual decrease in the numbers of people sleeping rough on the streets of the LGA. Way2Home the assertive outreach service, and the City's project for housing people with complex needs are able to confirm that together they assisted 37 people to exit the streets and enter long term housing or other forms of supported accommodation in 6 months between the February and August counts (accounting for potentially 29% of the decrease). At the Homelessness Interagency last week a number of agencies reported that they have either assisted people to exit the streets or that they are speaking with people who used to live on the streets and are now in stable accommodation.
SydneyHomeless Response: I would be ashamed of the numbers quantified here were I in receipt of the funding levels these agencies enjoy.Since June 2009 we have enabled 298 previously homeless to exit marginalisation by taking personal control of their financial wellbeing-via our IT based Off-the-Streets Program
The February 2011 Street Count will give a better indicator as to whether we are witnessing a real decrease or not but for now it is great to feel that the combined efforts of everyone is having an impact. This of course includes you because without your efforts, we simply would not know what changes in the numbers if any are occurring.
In November we will be attempting to carry out surveys with all of the Rough Sleepers across the LGA to create the first comprehensive profile of rough sleepers in the inner-city. More importantly this will allow us to identify those who are particularly vulnerable and at risk so that we can concentrate on providing them with the support they need as well as opportunities to get off the streets. I will shortly be sending out emails with more information regarding this event for those who are interested in participating.
SydneyHomeless Response: Our advisement continues to be to not complete surveys or other information collection attempts.The information can be used against our homeless community and is a vital index measure for funding- whether we see any benefit or not.Their claimed success (37 plus an unquantified number) is window dressing. There is also the fact that the information collected has been and will continue to be shared with anti homeless agencies.
Thank you once again for your contribution to ending homelessness in the inner-city and let's hope that we continue to track the numbers downwards.
