Between the One Nation lines
Last night the eleven state MPs
selected the leader of the Queensland State One Nation party.
Bill Feldman, seen here right delivering his speech on why he should be chosen,
spoke extremely well and was a popular choice. Dorothy Pratt was selected
as deputy leader.
Below are some images from the events that took place on Sunday.

full story.
Pauline Hanson challenges the racial discrimination
act
On Channel 10's Meet the Press yesterday Pauline Hanson challenged
the basis of the Racial Discrimination Act calling it "discriminatory".
"It is very discriminatory, the Racial Discrimination Act. It is a very unfair
act and some clauses in it are very, very unfair and the whole lot needs
a complete overhaul. It is not fair to all Australians."
Mrs Hanson said that she would make the repeal of the Racial Discrimination
Act and native title legislation a condition for One Nation support for the
Coalition in the Senate after the next Federal Election which she has tipped
for August the 8th.
(See
firsthand how unfair the Sex Discrimination Act, another politically-correct
Act, is)
The politically correct lobby were fast off the mark after Pauline Hanson's
statement with the newly appointed Labor Queensland Attorney General, Matt
Foley, saying, "The comments strike at the principles of a fair go - they
are based on prejudice and bigotry.. The racial discrimination Act is all
about giving every Australian a fair go, whatever their racial background."
And this classic from the Human Rights commissioner, Zita Antonios, "The
Racial Discrimination Act is an Act for all Australians. Everybody is included.
It's a Civil Act which tries to make people come together. Its about
conciliation."
Pauline Hanson also called for stricter English language tests for migrants
saying, "If you can communicate you have a better way of being able to
assimilate. Here in Australia we speak English, everyone should speak English."
"I think there should be a test on English. I don't believe that Australian
taxpayers should be paying people to come here to learn English. We pay out
an excessive amount for people - migrants come here to maintain their own
mother tongue language and I don't believe that's fair on tax payers."
Tom King elected One Nation's Queensland state
president
Tom King, seen right, was elected
pauline Hanson's One Nation state president yesterday by a large gathering
representing party branches from all over the state.
About 200 people selected Tom King to head up the executive with the support
of three state vice-presidents: Merv Hyatt (northern zone); Frank Collingwood
(central zone) and Burwen Smith (southern zone).
"This has been our biggest (branch) meeting yet held and there was a deal
of emphasis on policy development," King said.
"Branch members will play a key role in setting the direction for the party.
Our people have an insatiable appetite for policy.
"Branches are being formed everywhere. Things are moving so quickly that
everybody has to learn on the run.
"The events over the past twelve months have been a whirlwind, like a political
vacuum sweeping people up."

Subject: Just for Penny Bell
Dear Sir,
Somebody please tell Penny Bell that the 437,777 people
who voted for One Nation are Australian Citizens, not visitors from another
planet. If the "rural older population" view does not fit in with Penny's
plans for HER future then just what we suggest we do with these people? We
could take away their right to an opinion or their right to vote or even
possibly introduce some form of involuntary euthanasia so that their views
won't conflict with her plan of the way the world should be.
Pick up your dictionary Penny and have a look at the
meanings of the word "EQUALITY" and you will no doubt find something like
"The quality or state of being the same in quantity or measure or value or
status".
Now try and apply that to the system of totalitarian
government that we have lived under for the last 26 years. One Nation is
about "Equality for All Australians" but that concept appears a little difficult
for some to grasp.

We fully agree with Pauline that all migrants should
read write, and speak English. Let them go to the U.S. They are given 12
months to learn English. If they don not. Then they are sent home. We should
do the same. It is amazing how many people that I know in Werribee, that
have been in Australia 30/40/ years and still do not speak English. I think
that Victoria is the only State in Australia, where you can have your driving
test in 26 languages.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you for supplying an alternative to the non
representatives we now have in government. It never fails to surprise me
how all the negative comments about the One Nation Party and the statements
Pauline Hanson are supposed to have made never seem to be shown on television
with Pauline actually uttering the so called statement. Keep up the good
work
Kind Regards
Peter & Pauline Hanson
Subject: One nation --- Why Christine
Jackman’s
June 27, 1998
The Editor, Courier Mail.
With frustration I must comment upon Christine
Jackman’s article Courier Mail, page 32. Why did One Nation do so well?
The answer is simple. The Emperor has no clothes. For those who have not
heard this story the emperor was convinced to wear the new magnificent clothes
which were invisible. The little boy who yelled "look, the Emperor has no
clothes" started a revolution. Pauline Hanson may not have all the answers
but she is definitely taking note of the problems.
Lets blame Malcolm Frazer, after all, he said life
was not meant to be fair. Pauline Hanson is just being honest about simple
issues of common sense and for this she has been given a torrid time. How
dare she question the current political paradigm.
Since when has renting your own home been better than
owning it? How could foreign investment be good when it demands a rent from
this country, a rent this country is having trouble paying?
How are people supposed to feel when they are told
to hand in their guns because they may be used to massacre people like in
Port Arthur. If their government does not trust them why should they support
that government? Many people now fear as they perceive themselves to be
vulnerable with out protection and we now have South East Asia going
unstable.
Why should we let our businesses go broke in the interests
of international fair trade when foreign government subsidised products are
dumped into the Australian market? The level playing field is not level and
our government is prepared to sacrifice our businesses in the name of this
unfair playing field.
All the so called rat bags and red necks who have joined
One Nation are just ordinary Australians many of who have a sense of fairness
in this unfair world. Others are the victims of the rational economics political
paradigm operating from Canberra. One Nation gets its energy from all those
who sense of fairness and self interests have been threatened by a government
that will sacrifice their rights, freedoms and prosperity in the name of
some grand concept that has no place in the lives of ordinary
Australians.
Our government let the big supermarkets undercut and
send broke their neighbourhood green grocer opposition. What happened to
most of Australia’s manufacturers? Where did they go? What about all
the small businesses who could not justify Quality Assurance and so did not
get any more government orders? What about all those computer companies who
watch our Federal government give foreign multi-nationals over 7 billion
dollars a year to run our country’s computer facilities. Why did they
not let local companies tender for or have an opportunity to compete with
the big multi-nationals.
I would suggest that Malcolm Frazer was wrong when
he said "life was not meant to be fair". No one wants to believe this any
more. One Nation shines as our chance to make life more fairer for the average
Australian who wants to be prosperous in control of his own destiny, freedom
and business.
Yes I handed out how to vote cards for One nation and
voted for One Nation.

Comments on the
Day of Reckoning
I am migrant, I strongly support your party. I respect
Pauline Hanson very much. I don't find any mistake to care about her country.
I know many migrants will give your party their votes. We escaped or left
our countries not to come here to find our country again.
Every body came here must respect and accept Australian
rules, principals and values, otherwise they have to leave the country and
go pack to their ideal countries.
GREATEST DANGER IS NOT COMING FROM ASIAN PEOPLE AS
IT IS COMING FROM AGGRESSIVE RELIGION.
BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL, OTHERWISE THEY WILL DESTROY
THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AS THEY DID IN THEIR COUNTRIES.
DON'T LISTEN TO ANY BODY SPEAKS ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS
OR FREEDOM. YOU HAVE TO CARE ABOUT YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS BEFORE YOU CARE ABOUT
OTHERS.
WE SUPPORT YOU, KEEP GOING.
Sorry for any mistake in language, I hope you understand
me.

Dear editor,
One Nation and its supporters are always chanting that
they are not racist.
Yet reading Mike Owens letter to the editor, certainly
clarified this myth. Here is an ill informed, over generalised message of
hate that Hitler would have been proud of.
I should really point out all the non truths, and gross
over generalisations (he talks as if all aboriginals behave exactly the same
way - a classic symptom of racism), and the total lack of historical perspective.
However I would be wasting my keystrokes as racism has always been a good
friend of extreme ignorance.
I would just like to thank you for giving us the
opportunity to learn the real "heart" (a rather inappropriate metaphor) of
the One Nation party. Next time any one of my friends tries to tell me that
One Nation is not racist I shall just ask them to log in to this site so
that they can see the words and thoughts for themselves.
I shall now do everything possible to see that your
party is stopped
Thank you

A statement out
of Mike Owens' letter:
"Also you need to make some lines of alignment with
one of the major parties if you hope to expand. I support the stopping of
aboriginal land rights. It is a con and a scam to make money, instant
millionaires and to form aborigine corporations."

Subject: Mr Beattie
Thankyou so much from a QLD resident who cant wait
to get his Aussie passport in October. Mr Beattie, of plastic fork origins
is right in visiting SE Asia business people to minimise the problems caused
by Murdoch and packer disinformation. A Hint: please check how much money
they have as a percentage or their totals. This will tell you how Aussie
they really are. I think it highly offensive they can dictate to Qantas about
Pauline.
By the way, don't be afraid of the future, remember
in the 50's you had no remote for the TV!

Letters to the Editor
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EMERALD - (Sunday, June 28, 1998) - I find it difficult
to refrain from commenting on the utterances of Michael Cole on the subject
“Negative Gearing”, News Weekly, February 21, 1998.
I appreciate that some considerable time has passed
since the publication of Mr. Cole’s letter, unfortunately it has just
been brought to my attention.
I would like to remind Mr. Cole that over the years
various governments have played with negative gearing to the detriment of
the economy. In recent years the Hawke/Keating Labor government thought it
knew better, sharing Mr. Coles sentiments it had a brief adventure with the
abolition of negative gearing. After some eighteen (18) months when certain
sectors of the community ground to a halt and in the main the Labor governments
supporters were suffering negative gearing was reintroduced.
If Mr. Coles seriously believes that the implementation
proposed a Goods and Tax will benefit the Australian economy and the needy
I would suggest that he visit Canada. Norway started off with a low tax and
now it has reached 25% while in the United Kingdom from 7.5% to 17.5%. Italy
has a black economy larger now than prior to the introduction of the GST.
Currently some seventy five (75,000) thousand collectors gather and remit
sales tax to the Australian Government. With GST it is expected that the
number will grow to some one (1,000,00) million unpaid tax collectors. In
addition a GST will result in less revenue gathering activity remaining with
the state and local governments. In time power will be absolutely centralised
to the detriment of the people particularly those domicile in the country
areas. The Liberal/National Coalition with the Labor Party and Australian
Democrats sharing the same philosophy there is only one hope and that is
Queensland’s own Pauline Hanson. Alternatively its time for Queensland
to withdraw from the Commonwealth.
Yours,
V. (Vic.) B. Cominos
QUEENSLAND FIRST MOVEMENT.
Another perfect day in paradise.
Have a good one.
