‘Shtetl’ plan for outer Melbourne

This sounds like a good idea?

WITH property prices in Caulfield skyrocketing for the average – or larger than average – Jewish family, interest is being sought to establish a new Jewish community in a more affordable part of Melbourne.

A group of charity-minded individuals have held a couple of meetings to test whether members of Melbourne’s various Orthodox communities would be interested in moving their families elsewhere. Suggestions have ranged from Altona in the west to Frankston and Dandenong in the south.

Visa laws 'unfair' to muslims


Heightened Visa Checks are causing accusations of profiling.

Mark Dunn, July 18, 2007 12:00am

NEW laws that demand Arabs seeking visa entry into Australia provide the names of their parents and grandfather hint at racial and religious profiling, according to a leading Islamic group.

"It would be pretty naive to think there is no religious profiling going on (with visa applicants), even if it's not officially recognised," said the Islamic Council of Victoria's spokesman, Waleed Aly.

Australian security agencies had asked for the new regulations that require extra personal information from Arabic visa applicants to include the names of their parents and grandfather.

NSW in grip of coldest July since 1986

Tuesday Jul 17 16:09 AEST

Snow and icy winds are predicted to hit western NSW on Wednesday as the entire state continues to shiver in the coldest July temperatures in two decades.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) says even the NSW central west city of Dubbo, which is just 300 metres above sea level on the western plains, could see some snow.

"It's not impossible. It's possible the city will get a little bit of a dusting," BOM senior meteorologist Peter Zmijewski said.

The bureau is predicting that snow will fall in many areas as low as 600 metres - a contrast to Victoria, where it is expected to be as low as 400 metres on the Dandenongs - and that the cold spell will be accompanied by isolated rain.

JI plans terror attacks: Downer


Australians could be the target of imminent terrorist attacks in Indonesia, including Bali, the Federal Government has warned in a revamped travel alert.

According to the Department of Foreign Affairs, numerous attacks are being planned against Westerners, despite the recent arrests of "high-level operatives" of Jemaah Islamiah.

"John Howard announced for Australia what he billed as the world's best border-security arrangements"
becomes a pie slapped in John Howards face. Probably enough time for us all to duck under our Fridge Magnets.
