Connie’s an absolute looney! Not to mention quite paranoid too.
If you get a chance, be sure to read the Hansard, she’s also good for a laugh too 😉

Thanks for the Hansard link, Rooster. F-W is indeed off the rails. How do ppl like this get elected in Australia? If F-W got what she wanted, ABC & SBS would look a lot more like Fox “News.”

IKhwanweb is the Muslim Brotherhood’s only official English web site. The Main office is located in London, although Ikhwanweb has correspondents in most countries. Our staff is exclusively made of volunteers and stretched over the five continents.

The Muslim Brotherhood opinions and views can be found under the sections of MB statements and MB opinions, in addition to the Editorial Message.

Items posted under “other views” are usually different from these of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Ikhwanweb does not censor any articles or comments but has the right only to remove any inappropriate words that defy public taste

Ikhwanweb is not a news website, although we report news that matter to the Muslim Brotherhood’s cause. Our main misson is to present the Muslim Brotherhood vision right from the source and rebut misonceptions about the movement in western societies. We value debate on the issues and we welcome constructive criticism.

Fared, thanks for stopping by.

The point of my post wasn’t really about the Muslim Brotherhood, rather more about one rogue Australian senator who has accused SBS, the Australian multicultural broadcasting service, of inherent bias toward Muslim issues at the expense of non-Muslim Australians.

In fact, if SBS didn’t cover Muslim issues in Australia, no one would. What Senator F-W wants is all negative coverage of Muslims. If the bias isn’t tilting toward her political party, she reckons it’s tilting against them.

If you want to educate someone, Sen F-W would be a good person to start with. It’s not like racists like her and her ‘Liberal’ party will actually listen, but it would give her some clue that she’s not preaching entirely to the converted.

Yep I think the big indicator about W-F is her own bias, Al Jazeera is ok for Condy to appear on, but it isn’t anywhere good enough for neo-Connie.
It would be nice if pollies actually had to have some type of education before taking on a portfolio – clearly ignorance and bias such as WF’s can only come from a lack of knowledge.
Nobody respects her, her own peers think she’s a joke, she won’t last long.

‘neo-connie.’

Heh. Nice one.

“Nobody respects her, her own peers think she’s a joke, she won’t last long.”
Any information you can point us to to illustrate that point? I can’t stand that woman, and details about her peers thinking the same would make great reading.

Having worked with people in SBS, I can say that the people there work in a real multicultural environment. You have people from so many countries from the tape library to the newsroom. They have to deal with foreign issues and foreign news. That responsibility in reporting is great and I think they do a great job on reporting the issue, not an agenda. Human Rights Watch classifies Hezbollah as: “Hezbollah is an organized political Islamist group based in Lebanon”. I don’t agree with indescriminant firing of rockets at civilians, but I wanted to point out that America’s classification of hezbolla is not the view of neutral international bodies. I think it takes balls to report against the politicised view that was implanted into the media. Instead of scolding SBS, they should be praised. Its not the job of the media to toe the party line.

Senator Fierravanti-Wells is doing the same trick Howard does with the ABC. Charging them with being partisan in their reporting when the issue clashes with the Liberal’s political views.

Yes, SBS is truly mulitcultural, by treating Australians of Indian or Hindu origin with utter disrespect, introduce the Kumb Festival of the Hindus in a distasteful manner.

SBS folks — go try doing this with religions that are intolerant and see what you get. Dont worry — You can make fun of Hindus to your hearts content.
