New World Order Exposed by Australian Politician in Parliament

?Someone has made a FOI request and then misinterpreted the data they obtained, believing they have uncovered an evil plot to poison the citizens of Adelaide with heavy metals. I am sure this misinformation has been spread far and wide and we will continue to see it resurface for years to come? is a very misplaced comment ie. the FOI documents were obtained by Independent politician, the Hon. Ann Bressington, MLC (SA), and, Dr Andrew Harms (Ex President of the SA Dental Association) ? and the ?interpretation? is very clear ie. this stuff IS in our drinking water, as part of the mix from the bagged chemicals of ?fluoride? coming from either Incitec Pivot, or, Shanghai Chemicals (China) ? this is not some ?mistaken? interpretation.

Welcome to the weird world of Upper House MLC Ann Bressington.

Ms Bressington, who only got 32 primary votes but surfed into the SA Parliament on the ever-popular Nick Xenophon?s coattails. Ms Bressington, who set out on an anti-drugs platform but quickly became a one-woman lightning rod for paranoid conspiracy theorists.

Ms Bressington, who turned on Mr Xenophon after she was installed in Parliament and questioned his integrity before calling him a political ?chameleon? ? which, considering her ability to absorb the thought processes of fringe groups, seems a little odd.

Ms Bressington, the ?accidental politician? who said back in 2007 (with seven years to go) that she hates being a politician; and yet she?s there on the taxpayer pay roll until her term expires in 2014.

If you need an argument to abolish lengthy upper house Parliamentary terms, look no further than Ms Bressington, who has done some excellent work on workers? rights and child abuse that is greatly outweighed by her campaigns of fear-inspiring misinformation.

You?d call her a rogue politician if it didn?t have such an air of charming, anti-establishment, independent thinking.

Ms Bressington has aligned herself with many dubious causes, most notably the anti-fluoride mob, who believe the Government is putting ?rat poison? in the water, lowering children?s IQs, causing ADHD, osteoporosis and cancer, and rotten teeth. They run parallel to the anti-vaccination movement; rejecting science, clinging desperately to one or two ?experts?, and filling people?s heads with fear.

Her latest mission is to scare the crap out of whichever man, woman or child happens to open their letterbox to find one of 120,000 anti-abortion pamphlets featuring dead foetuses.

In the pamphlet, she writes:

The baby is given no anaesthetic prior to the abortionist inserting a clamp into the uterus, seizing a leg or other body part, and, with a twisting motion, tearing it from the baby?s body. This is repeated again and again. The spine must be snapped, and the skull crushed to remove them. The nurse?s job is to reassemble the body parts to be sure that all are removed.

Now, there?s a way to have a reasonable debate about decriminalising abortion.

The pamphlet is a Frankenstein of stitched together horrors. Ms Bressington has untethered statistics and quotes from their contexts and put them in the service of her agenda.

There are pictures of foetuses plucked from the web, graphic descriptions of medical procedures designed to shock, a horrid focus on botched abortions, a heavy reliance on one-off news stories, and an irresponsible mish mash of statistics.

The main thrust of the brochure is a straw man argument that people who are pro-choice somehow deny that foetuses are human.

Hell, she evens uses a quote from that pro-choice hack Tory Shepherd, and throws in a spelling mistake for good measure.

The upper houses of the nation?s Parliaments, because they rely on proportional representation, are often an eclectic mix of people representing minority interests.

One senior Labor MP colourfully compared the Upper House with ?the bar scene from Star Wars?.

SA Premier Mike Rann is not alone in his wish to see the upper house abolished. That?s a bigger argument, and one tainted by the fact it often comes from disgruntled governments struggling to get their reforms through both houses.

Just reducing the length of an upper house term would be a simple reform that would not compromise its status as a house of review.

The arguments against shorter terms are that long terms encourage longer term thinking; more pragmatically, elections are also expensive.

And the best argument for shortening the terms?

Ann Bressington.

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more than 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.

The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor and report on implementation of the agreements at the local, national, regional and international levels. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in special session.

The full implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme for Further Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Commitments to the Rio principles, were strongly reaffirmed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg, South Africa from 26 August to 4 September 2002.
