Australia, Israel, & Homeland Security Know-How (video)

Here's a video from Australia in which the Trade and Investment manager of the Israel Trade Commission is interviewed by the executive editor of Asia Pacific Security Magazine.

Explains the uploader:
"Richard Vesely, Manager, Trade and Investments, Israel Trade Commission introduces ISRAEL HLS 2012 Expo & Conference with a focus on Safe Cities & Critical Infrastructure. The bi-annual event includes keynote Israeli and International Speakers and a mock emergency incident under management. Richard also provides an overview of the Israel Trade Commission and Israel's advanced standing in the homeland security market in the Asia Pacific and why participating in delegations to Israel, as planned for 2013 is important for professional development.
Interview with Chris Cubbage, Executive Editor of the Asia Pacific Security Magazine, at Security 2012 Exhibition and Conference, Sydney. Produced in association with Diversified Exhibitions"

    Weird - I couldn't find it by copying that into my browser.
    I mentioned William Cooper on here a while ago, and without wishing to take anything away from him, I wish Aussie Jews would give Critchley Parker Jr, who tried to found a refugee settlement in Tasmania and died in the attempt, as many kudos as they give William Cooper.

      The link still works for me?

      I think Cooper was largely forgotten (not "radical" enough for the black armband brigade) and interest has been revived by Yad Vashem.
      "Dadon told The Weekend Australian: "Both Warren and I were following our allocated guide, David Metzler, when we heard him say, 'You Australians should know that a group of Aboriginal people led by William Cooper held in your country the only private protest against the Germans following Kristallnacht'."
      Dadon knew about Cooper and his protest, but he found it remarkable to have a guide at Yad Vashem refer to it unprompted."

      Re: Parker
      Maybe if you've got the time write a wikipedia article, he deserves more than a forest.

      Very interesting. Thanks, Ian.
      The wiki idea is one I'll consider.
