Brave men on tyre raft nominated for awards

Date April 16, 2013

An Indonesian crewman and three missing asylum seekers from Myanmar have been nominated for Australian bravery awards.

Christmas Island administrator Jon Stanhope said despite the men not being Australian citizens, they were responsible for ''inordinately brave'' acts in Australian waters and their courage should be commended.

In January, authorities rescued about 16 asylum seekers on a boat foundering 20 nautical miles from Christmas Island.

Those on board told rescuers that the day before, the three men from Myanmar and an Indonesian crewman had built a makeshift raft by lashing inner tubes and bamboo together, and had set out to get help.


After four days the crewman washed up alive on Christmas Island, badly sunburnt and dehydrated. The bodies of the three Myanmarese were never found.

''Christmas Island, a tiny speck in the Indian Ocean, wasn't visible,'' Mr Stanhope told ABC radio on Monday.

''I think that's an act of just unimaginable bravery. Fifteen nautical miles at sea [on] an inflatable automobile tyre and to begin to paddle … I believe they deserve the highest bravery award,'' he said.

He says he had advice from the Australian Honours and Awards Secretariat that the men were eligible to receive bravery awards because the acts took place in Australian territory.

Meanwhile, confusion still surrounds the fate of one - and possibly two - boats believed to have sunk in Indonesia's Sunda Strait last week, en route to Christmas Island.

Indonesia is yet to launch an aerial search for scores of missing asylum seekers amid fears two boats bound for Australia may have gone down in recent days.

Initial reports from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority suggested an asylum-seeker boat sank early on Friday, and that some survivors were possibly rescued by fishermen.

But one survivor says he was on a vessel which sank on Wednesday, and he was rescued on Thursday after spending 24 hours in the water, raising fears there may have been another vessel.

Stanhope, you're an A1 jerk!

Sounds pretty brave to me.

So Stanhope is a "jerk" just because you don't agree with him? People you have never met are "trash"?

You're in the right place, bogarde, name calling is very popular here.

Come to think of it, isn't Stanhope the former jerk who was the Chief Minister of the bleeding green loonies in the ACT?
That would explain everything.

Darwin award maybe?

This will be good. People smugglers should be given an award. Pretty silly stuff.

Please don’t speak about Woof Woof like this, Adelcrow. She supports Free Enterprise and will help out on the campaign - when he returns.

She mightn’t be elligible for an honourary degree in Medical Science, but surely an award of some kind could be dished
out to the campaign staff.

it's yet another self loathing aspect of the left.

reward illegals, what rot.

If Jon Stanhope wants to hand out bravery awards, he might start with the brave firemen who had to battle the burning down of Canberra.
I wonder what he was doing while the threat was building up?
I wonder who held up the crews from NSW getting into the fire area to attempt to stop the catastrophe?

Yes adelcrow, I WOULd rather hand out awards to the abused and deserted women who struggle in this society instead of the human flotsam & jettsom who are never likely to assimilate to this society, who start being a burden before they even freakin' land here and will likely, probably like yourself, be a burden on it for ever . . .unless someone has the guts to get rid of them!

Why hand any awards out to asylum seekers or Aussie born bludgers?
The only thing stopping single mums or dads from working for a living is pure laziness..Dont forget that most people in two parent families work full time so whats stopping single parents from doing the same.

Just to upset you...good enough?

those fires were quickly swept under the carpet bogey... he never ever excepted any responsibility there even though the place was on fire.. and we were still getting told the fires were 20 ks away...

two firies who came from Sydney were told to go home and drove into the fires as they were leaving...lucky for us they didnt leave..500 homes lost all because a certain leader couldnt see the fire for the smoke.

they get away with murder in this town.

Many years ago I was a single parent that worked full time and studied at uni so I dont buy this crap that single parents need to suckle on the taxpayers teat for the rest of their lives. Its nothing more than a cop out from lazy people who decided to throw their future away because it was convenient at the time.
Like I said..the majority of two parent families have to work full time to make ends meet and because they want to make a future for themselves and their kids they dont just chuck it all in and go on welfare just because its easier in the short term.

Why is someone seeking asylum "trash"?

Could you explain?

And could you tell us why you call them "illegal"?

What is illegal about seeking asylum?

Under Australian law (S233A Migration Act), a “people smuggler” is a person who organises or assists another person to enter a foreign country to which they are not a citizen or permanent resident without a valid visa. This includes people smuggling syndicates who organise boats to Australia. However, the legal definition of “assistance” to people smuggling can be as little as being a cook on board, to driving the boat. As a result, Indonesian crew members, captains, middle men organisers and larger scale syndicates are charged under the law for varying levels of the same crime: people smuggling.

I am VERY VERY confused............a bravery award for a people smuggler??????

As Stanhope is administrator of Christmas Island, I assume he was administering Christmas Island, thousands of kilometres from Canberra.

Who knows?

Some people here have minds that work in mysterious ways their wonders to perform.....
.. 8-)

This thread only shows how misinformed and ridiculous the xenophobes have become.  Most of the crew men on these boats do it from dire need of money to support their families. They dont know the level of hatred bestowed on them by the narrow minded.  And this is yet another sign of those arguing they want to stop boats for lives sake, less for their own prejudices sake, that they are full of crap. These men were brave under the circumstances and this bravery should be recognized.  Despite those arrogant enough on this forum to criticise them.  We should always celebrate the struggle for saving life.

That's a good point. I could just be an employee, or even the captain and not know there were people being smuggled.

We were talking of his time as ACT chief jerk Peter.

alevine, I have never tried to disguise my opposition to the boat invasion and to those who have engineered it as being related to "saving lives". So don't try to hang that useless rubbish on me.
I have always pointed out that I was coming from a viewpoint that we were allowing in people who in the main would never assimilate or contribute.
Or as you would put it, from a racist viewpoint.

While I'm all for the boat people coming to Australia, I do think we have more than enough home grown hero's to worry about without having to go and look offshore for people to reward with medals.

First generation migrants have always had the most difficulty assimilating. Be they boat people or otherwise. They used to say the same thing about Italians, Greeks, Vietnamese, Slavic's and so on and so on ... most migrants don't usually become fully assimilated until they have had their kids grow up in country, then they usually change their attitudes to be more in keeping with what their kids are doing, who because they've grow up here, usually have no problem with assimilation.

If you're all for the boat people coming, how many would you like to have? Is there any limit and if so can you name it?
Perhaps you'll be joining the nice old dear who is making her home available to one or more of them.

Well I'm glad you're admitting your against the entire humanitarian program then.  Why not make it clear then and argue against the entire yearly 20,000 quota, as opposed to just those who arrive by boat?

John_Smith,

You are promoting as fact, an erroneous assumption about [the majority of] those people who are coming to Australia, in boats today.





Moslems do NOT want to, or intend to, assimilate into the culture that they come to 'live with'.

Moslems bring their own culture with them, to their new land.

And, ISLAM is a culture that puts itself in conflict with all other cultures, that it encounters.




There is no respect for 'multiculturalism' in ISLAM.

ISLAM does not share political power, with ANYONE!

ISLAM is a mono-culture political system.

ISLAM is a mono-culture, that promotes its own superiority, and rejects sharing any political space, with any other [un-ISLAMIC] political authority.





+++


ISLAM REJECTS SHARING POLITICAL AUTHORITY, WITH ANY un-ISLAMIC POLITICAL AUTHORITY



Jahiliyya = = the un-ISLAMIC lifestyle, e.g. a society which embraces political pluralism.




Quote:

"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE" "It is not the function of Islam to compromise with the concepts of Jahiliyya which are current in the world or to co-exist in the same land together with a jahili system........"

SAYYID QUTB - ISLAMIC scholar
http://www.islamworld.net/justice.html

OR, Google;
"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE" SAYYID QUTB




The 'Jahiliyya' lifestyle is totally incompatible with ISLAM.

And in fact, to devout moslems, the mere *existence* of non-moslem communities is viewed as insulting to the authority of Allah.
...because you see, moslems 'deserve' to have 'authority', to rule the whole world, for Allah.



Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia...


Quote:

"....Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia law, without which Islam cannot exist;" "...true Islam is a complete system with no room for any element of Jahiliyya" "...all aspects of Jahiliyya...are "evil and corrupt" "

A number of those who have been convicted as 'people smugglers', are also the same people who have been recognised by Australia as being 'asylum seekers'.

New crisis!




Many so called, 'asylum seekers', are people who are fake asylum seekers,
.....who bring their clear criminal intent, with them, to Australia.

Still can't post links......google "Boat crewmen's bid for even justice failing".

I previously posted that I am confused that a people smuggler would be considered for a bravery award.......despite Govt relaxation in charging crew members under the Migration Act definition of "people smuggler", I remained confused.

Is the Indonesian crewman subject of the suggested award been charged? Incarcerated? Sent home without charge? Applied for asylum citing fleeing from persecution? Been granted a visa?

I'm probably not going to be persuaded that a bravery award should be bestowed, however I want to know more information than eligibility "because it happened in Australian waters"....

More of this maybe??

Muslim women find a new goal with AFL
JUST behind the towering goalposts of the Gallipoli Mosque, in the heart of Sydney's west, is a sight that would make AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou fall to his knees and weep with unrestrained joy.

Here in the heartlands of rugby league, tabouleh and fully-sick cars, a green shoot of Australian football has taken root.

The Auburn Tigers football side that trains every Wednesday is not, however, just another team. It is a primarily Muslim team. A primarily Muslim women's football team.

At the National Press Club this week, Demetriou spoke about the challenges facing his code and asked: "How do we make our game relevant to a 10-year-old Muslim girl?"

The answer is: get her older sisters to sign up for the Auburn Tigers and watch her follow.

Amna Karra-Hassan gives you some idea of how big a cultural gap has been leapt, where 25 per cent of the population is Muslim and 10 per cent Chinese.

Most of the girls in the Tigers are of Lebanese background but there is also a Fijian, Bosnian, Turkish and Afghan member too.

"And an Anglo," Karra-Hassan says.

The 22-year-old has never watched a game of football on television or live, but she has played in four competition matches in the Sydney women's league after being encouraged to form the side. She has never heard of Gary Ablett but volunteers a fact that will have Demetriou blubbering all over again. She knows who Israel Folau is.

The AFL is hoping Folau, the rugby league convert who will play with the Greater Western Sydney Giants at the nearby Olympic stadium next year, will be a conduit for a cultural and geographical group that has never engaged with the code.

Karra-Hassan explains that the Muslim girls are observant of their religious customs and so play in headscarves and with covered limbs. They have a strategy ready for the day a scarf is lost in a tackle and plan to surround the victim until it is reinstated. "Our first priority is to make sure the girl is comfortable," she says.

The Auburn Tigers began last year as a Muslim club and the boys' side won the fourth division premiership in its first season. The women only began this year, prompted by the urging of the NSW AFL multicultural officers. They will have a female coach and have asked the Tigers' male side to keep away on their training nights and game days.

On the cultural barriers to forming the team, Karra-Hassan is frank.

"Girls don't play sport is the big one," she says. "My dad has that attitude and it took a while for our parents to become comfortable with it. Luckily, Dad doesn't even know what AFL footy is, but if he ever saw me get tackled I would be in so much trouble."

Karra-Hassan says that the other women's sides have been helpful.

Asked if the game ever gets rough, she shrieks: "Of course it does. We are from Auburn!"

;)

Auburn Tigers Women's AFL Team.

Should this be given some kind of recognition?  Yes, of course.

Should it be in the form of an official Bravery Award?  Probably not.

But there are other ways to reward/acknowledge his actions.
