Prince Philip recommended for knighthood by Australia Prince Philip, London, 2014 T
he knighthood is the latest addition to Prince Philip's many titles and honours


He told Fairfax radio he thought the news was a joke at first, adding: "Why would
we give him our top Australian honour? He's already got a lot of them."

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/80514000/jpg/_80514097_481636591.jpg

Defence Force Chief Angus Houston (L) with PM Tony Abbott in March 2014 Angus
Houston leads the hunt for the missing Malaysian plane MH370
Mr Abbott said Queen Elizabeth II had also approved a knighthood for retired
Scottish-born defence force chief Angus Houston.

He was involved in the investigations last year into the missing Malaysian Airlines
plane, MH370, as well as the MH17 jet that was brought down over Ukraine.
Australians were killed in both incidents and Australia is heading the operation to
find MH370.

He said it was "a great honour to be recognised in this way but I'd like people to
still call me Angus".

Mr Abbott said that "throughout his life, Sir Angus has put Australia first".

"He immigrated to Australia as an adult, he chose Australia and we are much the
better for it."


Australia's honours system

Australia began awarding its own honours in 1975 - the awards eventually replaced
the existing British honours system.Anyone can nominate an Australian citizen for
an award for service, excellence or achievement. The awarding of knighthoods and
damehoods was discontinued in 1976 but brought back very briefly in 1986 - Tony
Abbott reinstated them in 2014.Only Queen Elizabeth II can appoint Australian
knights and dames, on the recommendation of the prime minister.
Republicans say the honours system is an outdated remnant of colonialism.


'Grab-bag of cliches'

Mr Abbott praised the Prince's work as a campaigner, highlighting the achievements
in Australia of his youth charity, the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

"Prince Philip's long life of service and dedication should be honoured by Australia," he said.

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/80513000/jpg/_80513309_80513308.jpg

Queen Elizabeth in Australia, 2006 Queen Elizabeth II, Australia's head of state, will
sign off her husband's knighthood Australia is a parliamentary democracy that
retains Britain's monarch as its head of state.

Recent polls suggest enthusiasm for making Australia a republic has dwindled since
a 1999 referendum, when 45% of voters were in favour.

Most Australians at the time elected to maintain the status quo. The republican
movement was split between those who wanted an elected president and those
who preferred a parliamentary appointee.

In a speech on Sunday, Mr Shorten had argued that Australians should rally behind
the idea of a republic.

"Let us have the courage to ask ourselves if we measure up to more than just a
grab-bag of cliches," he said. "Let us declare that our head of state should be one of us."

Opposition politicians have also criticised Mr Abbott's decision and its timing.

"As we try to reflect upon our nation... one of Australia's highest honours goes to
someone who's not part of our community really," the former premier of Western
Australia, Geoff Gallop, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

"In effect this is the eccentricity of Tony Abbott's views on our constitution coming
through," he was quoted as saying. "It certainly doesn't reflect the view of the
Australian people through a meritocratic process."

Greens leader Christine Milne told Fairfax Media: "There are plenty of wonderful
people right here who are worthy of recognition."

"But this is Tony Abbott - stuck on what Australia was and failing to notice all that
we are, or have any vision or pathway towards all that we can be."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-30977964


‘Australian PM Tony Abbott has used the country’s national day to announce a
knighthood for Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Mr Abbott, who reintroduced the honour last year, said the Prince had lived a “long
life of service and dedication”.

Opposition politicians described the decision as out-of-step with the times.

The leader of the opposition Labor party, Bill Shorten, said it was “anachronistic” to
give the top award to a British royal on Australia Day.’

Seconded.

All the nations in the commonwealth must have a different political mentality altogether, because nothing remotely to do with monarchy would fit into American culture, and I can't even understand why any democratic nation would even want to associate itself with a monarchy, even "symbolically."

The only thing that makes a monarch special is how much money and political authority they receive simply for being born. Well now come to think of it, you could always be a Rothschild, Rockefeller or Bush for that too... So maybe not so special...

The reason this video is pertinent to this channel is because I have displayed earlier video's calling into question whether
we won the Revolutionary war, the War of 1812, or did we lose control of our country via the Actions of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Federal Reserve Act or during the Bush/Clinton Monarchy? What happened and at what point
did we the people lose control of our nation?

What is clear although the United States is the most powerful military industrial complex in the world, is that we give
multi-millions of dollars in aid to countries like Israel amongst others.

What is also clear is that we do not coin our own money but 'rent' and use a Federal Reserve System which is neither Federal nor a Reserve.

‘Next Friday it will be exactly 366 years since we chopped off the head of King Charles I.

It’s widely regarded now as the necessary execution of a man who tried to constrain Parliament
and his people, who thought he was ordained by God to oppress whomever he liked, and the net
result was that – after a short time in the Sin Bin – our Royal Family realised it ruled only with
our consent.

At the time it was seen rather differently. A group of insurgents had seized control of a kingdom
by force, publicly beheaded someone, and went about saying their God was much better than
everyone else’s.

There are plenty of similarities between the Roundheads and Islamic State, not least their mutual
dislike of Christmas which, in the case of Oliver Cromwell and his New Model Army, was their
eventual undoing.’

The Rothschilds, or any other European banking influence, really did not establish itself into American politics until 1913. There is a lot of history to that.

I understand your general point, that the British (and a lot of others) have been trying to infiltrate our political system for their own benefit. From time to time they succeeded into getting something small that they wanted, but for the most part, until around that same time, the early 1900's, this country really was genuinely self-determined by its own people. For the largest part of our history until then, we really were very similar to ancient Greek democratic society, even with the same contradictions of owning slaves and not allowing women to vote.

So I'm not a proponent of the idea that the US is the best country on Earth or any of that kind of blind patriotism, and Americans definitely massacred millions of Native Americans (some of whom I'm partially descended from), but it's still apparent to me that, whatever the ultimate cause and reasons for the revolution, this country really did succeed in fending off all of the old corrupt banking systems and totalitarian governments for about 150 years. And even the idea of monarchy is still anathema here except for the groupies of the British Queen, who I don't at all understand.

That journalist was right, unfortunately the leaders of the other two parties aren't much better, since anyone who gets into those positions is vetted by the "big boys".

I'll never forget someone relating a story they heard about how Conrad Black had a meeting with John Turner and Brian Mulroney (who were both in the Liberal party at the time) telling them he didn't care which one it was, but one of them was going to become Conservative because he wanted a man in both camps. Makes me wonder who's cornflakes he pissed in (maybe Rupert Murdoch's?) a few years ago that ended him up in jail.

Our mainstream politicians from the major parties are all media clones to
a degree which stems back to the Thatcher , Reagan era and the introduction
of 'spin' and political speech basically saying nothing.....This is different than
the old razz ma tazz of US politics and the sobre UK elections.

I have no problem with keeping the NATO alliance going and sharing information.
But as we have seen there has been a coup in the US spreading thru out
the Anglo Saxon countries via the Neo - Cons and the New World Order.....

Since Abbott came into power he has shamed all Australian's & Australia.
We are now dropping off the global economic, humanitarian, climate change and political correctness arena, like there is no tomorrow. Not to mention he is narcissistic, Chauvinistic & sexist.

I don't like being judgmental ... but, the obvious is the obvious. When his own party members are disgruntled with his policies & behaviour ... that is a big statement.

This should be a VERY short post as I have nothing to say!!!!

What can you say about this truly ridiculous awarding of a knighthood to a man who is already a prince, a duke and, I think, a Baron and Earl. To quote one comment made here -- "it's like giving Mrs Branson your Flying Miles"-- ie stupid beyond belief.

Recently Mr Abbott has been acting oddly He is increasingly erratic. I honestly wonder if he has some deeper problems. He has made hasty decisions that he later rescinds, and listens to no one, taking unilateral actions that his colleagues and minions scurry around fixing up. He became completely obsessed with the finding of the the Malaysian plane, and millions were spent on fruitless searching, even after everyone else gave up.

He is a very strange man at the best of times, and this knighthood is very peculiar indeed. maybe it will be too much for his supporters.

CS- those videos are really fascinating. Maybe our PM fancies himself playing in the big league.

People Can Be Induced To Remember Crimes They Never Committed

‘The idea that memories are not as reliable as we think they are is disconcerting, but it’s pretty
well-established. Various studies have shown that participants can be persuaded to create false
childhood memories—of being lost in a shopping mall or hospitalized, or even highly implausible
scenarios like having tea with Prince Charles.

The creation of false memories has obvious implications for the legal system, as it gives us reasons
to distrust both eyewitness accounts and confessions. It’s therefore important to know exactly what
kinds of false memories can be created, what influences the creation of a false memory, and whether
false recollections can be distinguished from real ones.’

Just 100 days to the election and I’m deeply alarmed by voters’ contempt for politicians

‘Have you got your souvenir wallchart? Is your pulse racing just a little faster?
Yes, there are just 100 days left to my equivalent of the FA Cup final. The moment
we all get to choose who governs us.

The General Election will be here in no time, on May 7. What do you mean you’re
not excited? The mood of the nation as it approaches polling day seems to vary
from, at best, a weary shrug of indifference to the two main parties, to, at worst,
an angry cry of ‘a plague on all your houses’.

An alarmingly high proportion of the voters I talk to tell me either that they stopped
believing politicians made any difference to their lives a long time ago, or that
they’re as mad as hell and not going to take this any more.

Again and again in recent weeks I’ve been struck by the craving of many people for
something better than what politics currently has to offer.’

It has been declared in Australia by satirists, caricaturists & political cartoonists that satire is now dead in Australia.

There is no way that the Abbott coalition Government (the Liberal & National Party LNP) can be represented satirically anymore.

They are firmly based in the 1950's and don't need none of that Science stuff! Makes them feel stupid I guess cause the first thing Abbott did was get rid of the position of Minister for Science...

Anyway here's some samplers of them... :dizzy:

Remember that Abbott and his front bench have in the past been accused of undermining the State LNP leaders as they face elections.

In South Australia an important by-election was lost in part due to Abbott & his mates (particularly the then Defense Minister Johnston declaring that the South Australian based Federal Government Corporation in charge of building/maintaining Navy vessels "couldn't be trusted to build a canoe").

Kiss of death.

Then a first term LNP Government in Victoria lost following an intense grassroot campaign from both the Union movement (for Labor) & volunteers for the Green Party. That and Abbott & his ministers managed to announce a number of policies that were on the nose (notably an increase in the fuel excise).

This has resulted in Tony Abbott being referred to as Toxic Tony by a number of pundits in the media.

The term "Abbott Proof Fence" (in reference to the 2,000+ miles rabbit-proof fence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit-proof_fence) in Australia) was introduced following the announcement of an early election in the Australian State of Queensland (the thought that Abbott would wish to participate in the election was ended with him saying he wouldn't because he was busy).

It's so bad that a 12 year old "on the nose" State Labor Government managed to get a 12% swing to them in that by-election in South Australia.

The Queensland election that's to be held on the 31st (Saturday) even looks like it might be a close one! Remember that Labor in the 2012 election was decimated from majority (51 seats out of 89) to less than a cricket team (7 seats).

That's not all on Tony cause Premier Newman is almost as bloody bad!

Anyway, Tony has made so many gaffs that it is beyond a joke.

For example:
The other day he said that if people don't want to work weekends then they shouldn't.
There's the Knighting of (Sir) Prince Philip.
So many policy back flips and lies that it is getting hard to keep up with.
Saying the best thing he has done as Minister For Women (yes he's the one who previous PM Julia Gillard famously accused of being a misogynist) was remove the price on carbon because, now get this, that made it easier for women to do the household budget... Cause that's what women do...

No wonder he chose Philip the Greek for a Knighthood. He's probably the only person more gaff prone than Abbott!

There's heaps more... Take our Treasurer (Joe Hockey) saying that poorer people wouldn't mind an increase in fuel prices because they either don't drive much or can't afford a car. Then there's the Education Minister starting a petition against a funding cut being introduced in his electorate that he helped pass!

You honestly can't make this bloody stuff up!

Tony Abbott has always been like this. He was known as "The Mad Monk" for a bloody reason! It's just in the past he had others covering for him.

During the 2013 election his daughters referred to some of his more notably horrific statements/actions as "daggy Dad moments".

Back in 2007 when Abbott was Health Minister he caused outrage when he first refused to meet with a highly respected man, Bernie Banton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Banton), who was dying from asbestosis. Bernie had organised to present a petition to Abbott in relation to a medication for asbestos related disease. Just because that wasn't enough, then Abbott insulted Bernie. Bernie died less than a month after what Abbott referred to as a "stunt". BTW, asbestos related diseases are not funny. I have known people who were miners at Wittenoom working for Gina Rinehart's daddy @ CSR... We should never forgive these money hungry monsters.

Apologies, this video has opinionated writing embedded in it (which is not incorrect):

QxwkbkXGPdM

I have read quite a bit of Abbott's past writings (not his books though, I'm not a tiger for punishment) and everything he has introduced is exactly what he wanted to introduce. When he was Minister for Health in the Howard Government he wanted to introduce exactly what he's had to back flip on in relation to Medicare. Same with all his "strange" policy decisions.

All his & his cronies policies are taken from the IPA's wish list (The IPA is the Institute of Public Affairs which is a pro-business right wing think tank).

The 75 point IPA wishlist is on their website here (http://ipa.org.au/publications/2080/be-like-gough-75-radical-ideas-to-transform-australia).

Personally I think he knows he's not got long in power because his policies are so out of step with the Australian psyche & culture that it is unthinkable that he would win another election.

Abbott & his cronies are after destroying the basis of the egalitarian nature of Australian society. The "fair go" that is embedded in our psyche.

So, let us wallow in our misery for a bit longer and then continue with our grassroot organising to hopefully create a movement towards change.

It is possible that they are expecting some celestial, cataclysmic event (the American Indians say an ocean of ice has hit our planet nine times and destroyed civilizations. This may have been water from the oceans of the planet which was between Jupiter and Mars.) Or, according to the Kolbrin Bible, it may be the Destroyer (Planet X and its Dwarf Sun) or a confluence of several events including Nemesis, said to come around every 26,000 years approximately. However, if these things are anticipated, why are they trying to kill all vegetation, the oceans, etc., with Chemtrails, poisoning food and water in Anglo-saxon communities as well, dispensing killing medications, worshiping satan, sacraficing children, etc. Consider the recent videos put out by Donald Marshall telling of the Vrill Lizards which infect and take over the brains of humans via access through the eye. Could all the overlords of our society be infected from the top down, a perfect way to take over the planet?

Here is another possibility. The evil angels imprisoned within the earth by Anu because of their contamination of the human race and genetic code, have powerful telepathy. Suppose that they influence the Vrill Lizards to take over the leadership of the planet. The Leaders then are told to open the Stargates which will let out the Evil Angels trapped in the center of the earth. They have also caused the Rulers to invent space travel and ships, all ready for them to escape from their prison on Earth if they so desire. Perhaps this is who the Hollow Point Bullets are intended for? The industry which produced lead bullets was completely closed down.

I agree Jacko.

Turnbull is the other front runner and while he has in the past been of great assistance to Murdoch's family (remember the $10 million to Australian Rain Corp in 2007?) he was ripped a new one by Alan Jones a few months back so I don't know if he can make a come back from that... Plus I wouldn't be overly surprised if he resigns before the next election which could possibly move his seat to the Greens (or even an independent) given the rise of grassroot organising (especially from the Left 'cause, lets face it, Gina isn't a grassroot kind of gal!) and engagement in inner-city formerly safe LNP seats.

Julie Bishop (aka The Asbestos Queen) really is the front runner but how could the LNP replace a sitting PM with a female MP after all their carry on about Julia Gillard? I know of a number of people who have quite large files on Julie Bishop (remember I'm originally from WA and her legal defence of asbestos mining company CSR against dying miners is neither forgiven nor forgotten).

Then there's the problem of her being in WA.

I don't know whether the LNP faction lords in Vic & NSW (let alone Queensland) would give her a go. Yes she's got the best profile of the front bench but there would have to be some very special deals made to get her in.

Not saying it wont happen just that the reason we could be having this gradual devolution of Abbott could be to get everything in place. All the RWNJ commentators are piling on but I think it's more to be part of the pack & stay relevant rather than a behind the scenes concerted effort.

However, look at what Murdoch has done.

He has effectively snookered Abbott & Credlin (Abbott's Chief of Staff).

If Abbott sacks Credlin, or she resigns, that would give everyone fodder that Abbott (and from this the coalition) is the puppet of Murdoch.

So, Abbott has to sit back and try to manage the situation while waiting for something to happen. Maybe mirror Newman's Operation Boring strategy to see if he can weather it.

He's giving a Nat Press Club luncheon speech on Monday and then the RBA meets on Tuesday (the AUD dropped below 0.78USD tonight & it's likely a cut in rates will happen) so that will bring back the entire question of the LNP's economic program.

Notice I haven't even contemplated a PM Hockey? He's so far out of contention it's ridiculous. Imagine dancing to "the best day of my life" before announcing the 2014 budget that was seen by almost everyone as unfair, if not cruel... Not a good look.

What a horror would PM Morrison or PM Pyne be? *shudder*

So I see us in a holding pattern for another few weeks at least but the LNP need to get any change done soon because they've got to present Budget 2015 in May!

For non-Australians the LNP still haven't got a swag of Budget 2014 through the Senate so it's a bit of a joke here.

There again maybe it's all been arranged and they're just waiting for the weekend election in Queensland to be over and Tones will announce his resignation in his Monday Press Club address...

Hey Jacko

Ironically it's alleged that Peter Slippers vote was more of a decider back in 2009 in the coalition Party room than Bishop's (source (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-05/slipper-has-change-of-heart-over-abbott-support/4937282)). Slipper & Tony were tight as thieves and it wasn't until Slipper had had a gut full of Abbott's shenanigans that he accepted the Speaker of the House position from Labor. That entire crap fight will come back to haunt Bishop and some others (notably Cry Baby Pyne) via the entire AshbyGate affair (https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/ashbygate-loose-ends,5172)...

Anyways...

After the result in the Queensland State election tonight (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-01/queensland-election-2015-labor-set-to-pull-off-stunning-victory/6060156) (from Labor being decimated down to only 7 seats in 2012 to possibly majority government in 3 years!) it seems the LNP Federal MP's have gone all cannibal on each other (survival of the fittest and all that).

Tack on the Sir Prince Philip fiasco & the latest Galaxy poll (2PP coming in at 57%-43% to Labor) and I don't even know if Brough will wait til Tones Monday NPC Luncheon Speech for a Kevin bloody Andrews (circa 2009) type challenge!

Before this "perfect storm" I thought they'd wait 'til after the bun fight over the May budget had settled down (probably early Spring so late September early October) and then if not the Asbestos Queen or Malcontent the NBN killer then maybe Morriscum might have had enough time to possibly get a non-Op Sovereign Borders profile together.

Now, I reckon there ain't much sleep going on amongst the LNP faction bosses.

Interestingly did you hear that Turnbull gave a speech in the US last night on leadership... Though how he comes back after being mauled by Alan Jones (http://www.news.com.au/national/malcolm-turnbull-in-fiery-interview-with-alan-jones-as-dispute-continues-with-andrew-bolt/story-fncynjr2-1226943853650) over LNP leadership aspirations I don't know...

What ever happens, the Mad Monk is cactus. 27% preferred PM really has his fellow numb nuts & fruit bats concerned and with good bloody reason.

No longer is the Mad Monk (aka Toxic Tony) being referred to as One Term Tony. Now he looks to be Half Term Tony.

Oh, and wasn't it good to see a huge fail from the Murdoch press in Queensland.

I know I enjoyed it. :heh:

The entire of Julie Bishop's history is one of privilege.

Originally from a 'landed" Adelaide family who were engrained in elite of the area (her Grandfather was Mayor & closely connected to then Premier Playford and the Downers were family friends & her Mum later became Mayor).

Private primary school (founded by her Granddad) and Private High School (same one as Amanda Vanstone, Therese Rein) before Uni & then (after a break) Harvard.

She entered into the legal profession and rose quickly through the ranks to partner.

Her name during her defence of CSR over the asbestos related compensation claims was Julie Gillon. Remember that her entire strategy in those cases was to extend the time the case ran for. Aiming for many more years so the plaintiffs either died (minimising compensation) or were near death thus reducing the payout amount. That is why she will not be forgotten.

Yes, JBish has been literally groomed for leadership.

Look at how she's handled the massive cut to foreign aid.

I haven't come across a bad word in the press about her in association to that. Lots of complaints about Abbott & Hockey in relation to it but not JBish. Matter of fact Tim Costello has gone out of his way to be empathetic to her situation! That's not surprising considering Peter Costello has been one of her most important backers...

I've got not idea atm if there is a deal in place for her (remember she's rep for Curtin in WA so it's a really big deal) to gain the leadership.

If anyone could it would be her I reckon...

BTW, it's almost like Tony knew his time was almost up and wanted to cause as much damage as he could.

Politically the entire Sir Prince Philip thing is blatant suicide. I wonder if it was a deliberate strategy from Abbott to force the factions hand now rather than later. With Murdoch's comments added in it could be looked at forcing Tony to be kept until the 2016 Federal election.

It is sufficiently counter intuitive to be a viable strategy from a sociopath (I don't use that term lightly) like Abbott. If not, then this is all an incredible coincidence...

Anyone who has carefully examined this was looking at early/mid Spring for a spill. That's far enough from the State elections and long enough past the Budget to not cause trouble. It also would give the new PM a year to make the position their own before an election.

Remember, Tony has been using the "Liberals don't change leaders before an election" mantra for months now so maybe he was salting the earth and poisoning the wells for any would be challengers.

Look at the change in his Ministry.

I said at the time that was all about Tony keeping control by shifting "popular Ministers" (I use that term loosely) into places they could make mistakes (notably Morrison who had gained traction in Op Sovereign Borders by saying virtually nothing & denying anything).

So, if we look at it that this is a tactic Tony & Credlin have been planning to make it more difficult for him to be rolled by the party it kind of makes weird sense... If that's the case then I can't work out if Murdoch was in on it or not.

Now my head hurts. I hate thinking like a conniving conservative!

Will Tony Abbott have to fall on his sword for knighting Prince Philip?

Will Tony Abbott have to fall on his sword for knighting Prince Philip?

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article10029944.ece/alternates/w620/29-abbott-getty.jpg
Mr Abbott’s job is under threat thanks to a revolt by his own backbenchers

‘When Tony Abbott was elected Australian Prime Minister, he promised “stable” and
“grown-up” government – and an end to the political soap opera which saw his Labor
predecessors, Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, repeatedly stab each other in the back.


Barely 18 months on, it is Mr Abbott’s job that is under threat, thanks to a revolt by
his own backbenchers, who announced yesterday they will push for a leadership
ballot at a meeting in Canberra on Tuesday.

Rumblings of discontent – sparked by broken promises, an unpopular budget and poor
polls – have become deafening over the past fortnight, following Mr Abbott’s bizarre
decision to knight Prince Philip and a dire election result in Queensland for his
conservative Liberal-National Party Coalition.’

Australia’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the Islamic State: The Case for
Removing the ‘Fantasist-in-Chief’

new Monday 23rd February 2015 at 07:36 By David Icke


GLOBAL RESEARCH..............


‘Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is full of predictable surprises. Stomping and
punching his way into the history books, his government finds itself teetering
before the electoral precipice. As it should. His domestic policy lies in stagnant
waters.

His foreign policy has entered the comic books – a Marvel animation with misguided
perceptions of world power, his seemingly rehearsed idiocy lead to threats of “shirt-
fronting” Vladimir Putin and prosaic speculations at world summits. His dangerous
union with Peta Credlin, his tyrannical bully of a chief of staff who keeps ministers
in line and leaks to please, continues to thrive with ominous energy.

All of that simply suggests the usual, malfunctioning government in desperate need
of removal, despatched by the usual electoral bloodbath the Australian electorate
delves a leader who has gone beyond the pale. Australia’s generally tepid electoral
landscape doesn’t tolerate the brash and the distant. Nor do one’s own
backbenchers, the first ones to go under the knife.’

Reported plan to ‘invade’ Iraq last year rocks Australian politics

By Adam Taylor February 23

‘Over the past year, Australia’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott has
made a number of international headlines for his unique brand
of Aussie conservatism. In just a few months, he threatened to
body slam Vladimir Putin, announced plans to knight Queen
Elizabeth’s husband and was repeatedly accused of sexism.

Yet a story published Friday in the Australian newspaper claimed
to show that Abbott had taken his macho behavior into the realm
of geopolitical absurdity – by suggesting a unilateral Australian
“invasion” of Iraq.’

According to the Australian's John Lyons, Abbott became interested
in sending thousands of Australian troops to Iraq to fight the Islamic
State in November as the extremist group's military success in Iraq
and Syria became apparent. He raised the issue with his staff,
including controversial Chief of Staff Peta Credlin, Lyons reports,
and none saw any issue with it.

It was only when the military became involved that the proposal –
dubbed an "invasion" in the Australian media – fell apart. “The
military officials were stunned, telling Mr Abbott that sending 3,500
Australian soldiers without any US or NATO cover would be
disastrous for the Australians," Lyons wrote.

Deep fears about domestic terrorism has made the Islamic State
an issue of pressing concern in Australia, and the country does have
a few hundreds troops in Iraq acting as advisers. The country's
military is relatively small, however – less than 60,000 in active
manpower, a fraction of the United States' 1.5 million – and the
country has never declared war unilaterally before. Despite the
country's involvement in the U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan
and Iraq a little over a decade ago, for many Australians the idea
of a military action without the backing of other countries seems insane.

Over the weekend, Abbott sternly denied the report, saying that
from the beginning there have never been any plans to put
Australian combat troops into Iraq. "It is fanciful, absolutely fanciful,"
Abbott told reporters, arguing that Lyons had never contacted his
office about the story. A number of government ministers also
suggested that the report was absurd.

"Australia does not act unilaterally in the Middle East," the Australian
prime minister said. "We work with our partners and allies to meet
threats to our vital national interests and to the vital national
interests of our friends and partners. That's what we do."

Defense officials have come out to discredit the report, too. "The
Chief of the Defense Force [Marshal Mark Binskin] does not recall,
or have any record of any task from the Prime Minister to examine
the possibility of a large scale deployment to Iraq of the nature
described in today's media reports," a defense spokesman told Fairfax Media.

The Australian has said it is standing by its initial story, and in a
follow-up over the weekend, it pointed out that Abbott had repeatedly
said there was no "formal" proposal to invade Iraq – a sign, the newspaper
seemed to suggest, that a more informal talk about an invasion of Iraq
had occurred. The Australian's editor, Clive Mathieson, also said that the
Australian never implied that Marshal Binskin was involved in talks about
the "invasion" and that his reporters had contacted Abbott's office twice.

It's a big problem for the Australian prime minister. The Sydney Morning
Herald points out that Abbott's government has been hit by a series of
leaks recently, indications of a conflict behind the scenes in his governing
Liberal Party. Whether Abbott brought up an Iraqi invasion formally,
informally or simply not at all, the Australian's story touched a nerve.

It highlights not only what is seen as a worryingly brash side to Abbott's
decision-making process, but also broader concerns about the strength
of the Australian military in the face of global extremism and a rising China.
