	Michael Danby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Danby was Assistant Private Secretary to Barry Cohen, a minister in the Hawke government 1983-84, Editor of the Australia-Israel Review 1986-93 and an Advisor to Alan Griffiths, a minister in the Keating government, 1993-94.

		In late August, Jewish Federal Labor MP Michael Danby wrote a letter to the Australian Jewish News (AJN) and demanded MUP âshould drop this whole disgusting project.â He claimed that MUP head, Louise Adler, had made comments about Israel and himself that were plainly false.
		A few days later, Danby responded to Crikey, denied he had called for censorship and labeled my views on Israel âdisgusting.â He cautioned MUP - at a time when Israel was âmaking a painful withdrawal from Gazaâ¦and when the prospects for peace are improvingâ â“ against publishing books that he thought inappropriate for the times.
		Danby and numerous pro-Israel supporters are clearly confronted by me posing questions about Australiaâs pro-Israel media, the Howard governmentâs relationship with Israel and America, the role of the pro-Israel lobby, Americaâs relationship with the Jewish state, my experiences in the Middle East, including through the Palestinian occupied territories and Jewish and Arab voices of dissent.

		Lane’s attack on Michael Danby’s integrity has to be understood within the context of a long story.
		Danby pointed out that a dislike of all things American was a constant theme through all Lane’s public utterances.
		Danby wrote, "I don’t dispute Terry Lane’s right to make these personal judgements and no one has accused the poor man of treason for his unproductive and virulent opposition to the just and subsequently vindicated attempt to deter Saddam Hussein.

	Australian Parliament To Debate Israeli Occupation Of Palestine - IslamicSydney.com
		The politician is Labor's Michael Danby, MP for the marginal inner-city seat of Melbourne Ports, with its big Jewish vote, and unarguably the Australian Parliament's most unambiguous and insidious defender of the Israeli Government.
		Danby's Sydney colleague, Julia Irwin, who has one of the safest Labor seats in the country, thinks Danby is a "bully".
		Danby kept asserting that the motion was "inflammatory" and "divisive".

	Danby urges boycott of Jewish book - Carbone & Money - Opinion - theage.com.au
		MEDDLER for Melbourne Ports Michael Danby championed the cause of asylum seekers in June when he declared: "They have the right of free speech." But a few months on, the Jewish Labor MP is selective about civil liberties, given he wants to muzzle Antony Loewenstein, the author of a book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
		Adler told Diary she was puzzled that Danby's letter contained quotes from her, given she hadn't had a "conversation of substance" with him before their 1972 graduation or since.
		Loewenstein is similarly bewildered because he approached Danby last year to contribute to the book and was told the MP would answer some questions, only to find out early this year that he would no longer take part.

		In court the MP denied that he had called his ex-wife a 'slut' but admitted that he 'may have inadvertently called her a bitch.' It was also revealed by Amanda Mendes da Costa, that Michael Danby's 11-year-old son, presumably at the behest of his mother, took photographs of herself and Mr.
		Itís actually not fine for Michael to hand out on Simhat Torah, because even though he is not halachicly* Jewish, he is ALSO converting to Judaism at the same time as his bride-to-be, so he also has to abide by Jewish Law.
		Michael is simply not a happy man these days, as evidenced by his performance during the federal election campaign.

	The White Monkey, by John Galsworthy (chapter8)
		Danby and Winter, however, were bearing up against him, and showed, so far, no signs of the bankruptcy prophesied for them by Soames on being told of the principles which his son-inlaw intended to introduce.
		Replacing the receiver, Michael saw a sudden great cloud of sights and scents and sounds, so foreign to the principles of his firm that he was in the habit of rejecting instantaneously every manuscript which dealt with them.

	Antony Loewenstein
		In a scathing letter published in Australian Jewish News this week, Danby says he wants no part in Loewenstein and MUP's Louise Adler's "propaganda tract,” which he said was an attack on the mainstream Australian Jewish community.
		MUP's Louise Adler, who graduated from Melbourne school Mount Scopus the same year as Danby and was given "faint praise" in his letter, told Crikey the political views Michael Danby ascribed to her in the letter were "palpable nonsense and pure invention."
		Danby sees Dershowitz as a hero, so it's not surprising he's trying to utilise similar techniques.

	The Hon Dr Brendan Nelson MP - Media Centre
		The Australian newspaper has today reported that Labor Member for Melbourne Ports, Michael Danby, has told the Jewish community that funding for Jewish schools could not be guaranteed if a Latham Government were elected.
		Mr Danby’s assurances have amounted to nothing and have now been exposed by his confirmation of Labor’s plan to strip funding from Jewish schools and allow their school fees to increase.
		His leader Mark Latham must now front up to the parents of almost 10,000 students in 19 Jewish schools across Australia, and explain why he thinks they are unworthy of support for the education of their children.

	The Road To Surfdom: Undue influence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Danby is in no way trying to curtail anyone's free speech.
		Hardly a call to drop it rather a way of making the point that they have allowed themselves to be the publishers of what is clearly going to be a polemic, or no more than an example of sophistry perhaps.
		I think Danby’s message to MUP was rather a fairly loud hint that their publisher has an axe to grind and it might be in their interest to look a little closer.
