If you're planning a family cruise, the last place you want to take one from is Australia, and the last cruise line you want to sail with is P & O.
P & O Australian cruises have, in the last few years, become known as quite the party place for wild sex. The problem has come to the point, Cruise Bruise is launching a boycott of P & O for family vacations, take note if you travel with children.
While the media has only recently began to jump on incidents of sexual assault and drunken orgies aboard P & O, the problem has had to been going for some time, with P & O keeping the incidents hush-hush. These things do not just simply skyrocket overnight.
With the horrific details of the Dianne Brimble case playing out over way too many months in an Australian coroner's inquest, the media pounced on the opportunity to let the public know the things that really went on during down under cruises.
Then, came the P & O Schoolies Fiasco, when it came to light that the Schoolies Cruises, which they were known as in Australia, were nothing more than floating, drunken, end of school year sex orgies. The public was so shocked by this news, P & O discontinue the floating orgies known as The Schoolie Cruises.
It was hard for P & O to deny that they were attracting people to ship for orgies, when a 2006 P & O promotional post card came to light, known as The Postcard Incident, that indicated the opposite. A play on the word Seaman/Seimen was not lost on the media, who jumped on P & O saying they were promoting wild sex on their ships. It was hard to deny.
The media, seeing that things were not always as reported by P & O, snuck a film crew aboard a P & O vessel, the Pacific Star, for a behind the scenes look at the mayhem aboard P & O cruises. They were detected by the crew, and quickly disembarked at the next port of call. P & O was determined to keep the lid on the secrets aboard their ships.
Hiding their dirty little secrets was more important to P & O than public awareness of the increasing dangers that lurked within their voyages. That was more than apparent when in November 2006, during the same time period the Dianne Brimble inquest was taking place, the a P & O ship Pacific Sky secretly dumped 500,000 liters of used oil, illegally, on the tiny island of Vanuatu, then slithered back out to sea.
The oil dumped just up from a small village water supply, so enraged local residents, the taxi drivers boycotted P & O and refused to transport P & O passengers on the island.
Now, in the past few months, it has come to light that P & O has been boarding child molesters, pedophiles, violent sex offenders of children, and carrying them to New Caledonia where they are doing . . . we can only begin to imagine. Another case has come to light, this time on the Pacific Sun.
New Caledonia ,pristine island becoming known as a pedophile playground.
This is the fifth case since October of New Caledonia's French police having to take a pro-active role in stopping the flow of pedophiles to this tiny island nation.
It is only now, the problem has come to light, having gone on for a length of time we will never know. Nor will we likely ever know how many children have been victimized by the men on New Caledonia, before the crack-down began.
Only now, with the heat turned up, has Australia and P & O decided there is a problem, they need to work together to stop the flow of pedophiles to New Caledonia on P & O vessels.
It is more than evident to anyone with the intelligence level of a child or higher, that this problem just didn't pop-up over night or more specifically, since October 2007.
Yet, there has been not a single word spoken by New Caledonian nor Australian officials as to why this stream of pedophiles seem to have the knowledge that there is something waiting for them at the other end, if they violate their parole to venture over to New Caledonia. The lure is strong, so the bait can only be the worst case scenario.
Pedophiles from Australia are not allowed to leave the country, and they know this.
Down under, law enforcement is tight lipped if there is an ongoing investigation into any pedophile ring that may exist in New Caledonia, with the wheels of justice seeming to turn much too slow on a case of such global importance.
