by Ganesh Sahathevan The judiciary is usually sensitive to reports of  statements of this sort, which can undermine confidence in the judicial system. As reported by the SMH, 8 February 2019 : On Thursday evening, high-profile members of the legal profession and the judiciary, including NSW Supreme Court and Federal Court judges, attended an Islamic Service to mark the opening of the 2019 Law Term at the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque in Sydney. The president of the Law Council of Australia, Arthur Moses, SC, said the Islamic Service was "a significant occasion for both the legal profession and the community" and it was "important that there is communication and understanding of the Islamic faith in Australia’s legal profession and the judicial process". "Without referring to or passing comment on any recent case, I make the observation that we must ensure that the criminal actions of a few are not used to unfairly judge, discriminate against or condemn a whole commun...

by Ganesh Sahathevan One The Waterfront, Wentworth Point NSW Manly, NSW 2095 During the Wentworth by-election campaign and now in Manly in the charge of the "independents" Get Rid Of Tony Abbott campaign constituents have had plenty to say about the need for a carbon tax but said nothing about their direct contribution to the problem of higher temperatures in Sydney. The issue is quite simple; the rich in places like Wentowrth and Manly,and all along the Northern Beaches like to live in large concrete properties,,either in houses or high rise apartments. To do so they trees and clear the greenery such that cool ocean breezes blowing inland are warmed up in these urban heat islands. Subsequently the further one lives from the waterfront, the less the cooling effect. This warming effect has been studied and documented with regards other regions; the impact of Singapore's urbanization on Johor Bahru is an example( see articles below).  The policy prescription is then quite...

by Ganesh Sahathevan Grand Mufti of Australia Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamed has rejected calls from a NSW Supreme Court judge to disavow verses in the Koran. ':You don’t ask to disavow medicine if some doctors exploited it, you don’t ask to disavow law if some lawyers misused it. ' AAP The SMH reported on 17 January 2019: Judge calls on Muslims to publicly disavow violence in Koran A NSW Supreme Court judge has called on Muslims to publicly disavow violent verses of the Koran that he says have been used by Islamic extremists to support terrorism in Australia. Justice Desmond Fagan said the lethal messages derived from "hostile passages" of the Koran were not effectively countered by suggestions from "various quarters" that the verses had been "cherry picked" or that Islam was an "interpretive religion". "The incitements to violence which terrorists quote from the Koran cannot just be ignored by the many believers who desire harmonious coexi...

by Ganesh Sahathevan The Shadowy Gülen Movement-Why is it still welcome at Parliament House NSW? NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and the NSW AG Speakman have yet to explain their government's affinity with the Fetullah Gulen Terrorist Organisation ,despite action against FETO by Turkey, Indonesia and Malaysia . Meanwhile The Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme (Scheme) has commenced, on 10 December 2018, but the public register remains empty. The Gulen movement's Australian representatives, which include the Affinity Intercultural Group are obvious candidates, but the Group's decision to not register pursuant to the requirements of the Scheme can be seen to have the approval of the Premier, the AG, and various members of the judiciary. The Gulen movement has a history of influence peddling here and overseas.  END  SEE ALSO The Case against Gülen;Dr Bruce Mabley;04 JAN 2017. Turkey: The Gulen Dilemma;Dr Bruce Mabley;07 DEC 2016
