What about this, vic?

 

FAIRFAX, SMH article

 

A Qantas spokeswoman said a temporary no-fly ban has been issued to the three passengers while the Australian Federal Police is investigating the incident.

 

"The AFP is investigating this matter so it would be inappropriate for us to comment. The temporary no-fly ban will remain in place until the AFP's investigations are finalised," the spokeswoman said.

 

The police searched Ms Pilbrow and told her she would be facing fines but would not be charged.

She goes on a no fly ban here in Aus, temporary or otherwise, it's still a no fly list, has been removed from an aircraft by force,

caused a disruption on an aircraft, fined for causing a disruption on an aircraft.

 

The list is provided to other juristictions, police, whoever. It gets added to other lists, ends up around the world,

let's say the US.

 

She flies in the future, she makes a booking, even if her name is taken off, it will still be listed on a database

as having been on a no fly ( et al as above )list at some time in the past.

 

Looked on a bit more seriously than in the past.

How do you know that( parts in bold) ?  My guess is you don't.

A temporary ban is just that. If another airline wanted to ban her afer the temporary ban ended, she has rights to claim discrimination. The airline would lose.

Good on Abbott, presented with the 10 years of volunteer fire fighting medal.

Not a bad effort at all.

Yep saw that on Facebook, Vic. Thanks for posting!

Here's a bit more:

Thrilled to receive my 10 year service medal this morning at the Davidson Rural Fire Brigade AGM. Congratulations to Jason, Colin & Warren as well.

I noticed he also had the decency to acknowledge the 3 other recipients of the same medal which was good.

He looked pretty chuffed at getting it, which is to be expected.

He's a volunteer Firefighter and a Lifesaver, Vic, and I think the admirable qualities that make up such a person also stood him in good stead against the onslaught of the leftie press in recent weeks.

He just rolled up his sleeves and got on with the job.

Agree, Abbott's a lot tougher than some of the other limp wet rags around.

I knew he volunteered for both and I knew he had been a firefighter for a while,

I just didn't realise he had been doing it for 10 years, a long time.

Makes a real mockery of those on this forum who were giving him a hard time over it the last time

he was in the media fire fighting, saying he only did it to look good etc, especially those who expect

everybody else to do do everything for them.

And I thought this was all about his truss

AT last, a Pollie who calls it like it is and is exactly what I have said before, nothing is ever good enough for them.

  Tony Abbott: Australians 'sick of being lectured to' by United Nations, after report finds anti-torture breach

Australians are "sick of being lectured to by the United Nations", Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said after a report found Australia's treatment of asylum seekers breaches an international anti-torture convention.

The report, by the UN's special rapporteur on torture, finds Australia is violating the rights of asylum seekers on multiple fronts under the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

Special rapporteur on torture Juan Mendez found the detention of children, escalating violence in offshore processing centres, and the detention and proposed deportation of two groups of Sri Lankan and Tamil asylum seekers were in breach of Australia's international obligations.

The report, which will be tabled at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday, has been rejected outright by the government.

Re bulk billing and co payment, since Labor voters / electorates bulk bill more than LNP,

you can see why it was / is being looked at.
