Today's
Headlines
an Aussie's viewpoint on Australia's
first daily Internet newspaper.
Since
October 1995
Between the One Nation lines
The 60 Minutes segment yesterday showed the fighting spirit of the "new"
Australian. The Laboral parties woke up last night when they saw what Australians
now feel.
The "she'll be right" attitude that the elite have taken advantage of for
many a year has gone. Australians are now fighting back, and when you put
a compliant man in a corner (like the media and politicians have done to
the Australian population) you can expect a firm and powerful answer.
This appeared during the 60 Minute segment with the political elite, Richardson,
Kroger and National's Braithwaite, being shown up for the shallow little
men that they are.
Kroger saying while pointing at Richardson and laughing, "You have been paying
his superannuation...." A big joke for whom money leeched from the Australian
nation has resulted in their wealth.
On the other hand we had a young One Nation member saying, "Mr Kroger
when did you last have to save money so that you could buy a new tyre for
your car?"
The chasm between those on the podium and those representing One Nation was
not about policy but about fairness and the "level playing field".
Shaun Nelson's comment that "The Laboral parties fear citizens in
Parliament....." was, to me, the statement that summed up the vilification
that the politicians like Beazley, Howard and Fischer have reserved for Pauline
Hanson and her party.
The mail received overnight (some shown below) has all been supportive of
the views raised by the One Nation members at the debate - even though the
60 Minutes twist tried to present a situation
where we had "changed
the agenda" when the reverse was, in fact, true.
Hanson's bodyguards.
Having had the opportunity to meet most of Pauline Hanson's federal bodyguards
and having spoken to them I have found that they all share a sense of awe
for the woman that they protect. The professional relationship between these
men and the One Nation leader is better than cordial because Pauline is a
"people's person". They are her friends and often join in the light discussion
with Pauline's trusted "inner circle".
Now The Courier Mail would have you believe that there is something
"unprofessional" about that relationship with the much quoted Ted Briggs
saying that "I knew she had a very fond consideration of that gentleman."
Briggs was the Soorley white ant kicked out of the Queensland Electoral
Campaign Committee after he tried to disrupt it in the lead up to the
state election. Yet he is continually quoted by The Courier Mail as "former
Queensland treasurer" without any explanation as to his fall from grace.
In the article it is claimed that Mrs Hanson is upset that her latest Federal
team were being transferred to other duties with the comment that it was
because they were deemed "too personally close to her".
David Oldfield confirmed that her security guards had been replaced several
months ago saying, "Pauline was very upset about the situation (when the
security guards were transferred). They (security chiefs) felt the whole
team were too personally close to Pauline. They felt they were too friendly
with her and liked her too much."
Michael Duffy on "Protesters restrict free speech"
Here
is an extract from this excellent article:
Never before, to my knowledge, has the leader of a
mainstream party (with more than 300 branches and representatives in two
Australian Parliaments) been prevented from speaking in public. Some of the
intellectual thugs who have achieved this seem proud of it. Do they not
understand the difference between protest and suppression? Or do they
care?
This raises questions vital to the health of the Australian
democracy. Why is this all of such little concern to Hanson's critics? Why
are there no demonstrations against Resistance? Are the parents and teachers
who encourage children to protest against Hanson as keen when it comes to
educating them in the principles of a free and democratic society?
It's time for Hanson's enemies to stop hiding behind
the word "racist", which is used so often to describe One Nation, and come
out in the open and justify their absurd hatred of Pauline Hanson.
Alan Jones on The Banks
Here
is an extract from his comments today:
The Commonwealth Bank said on Friday it would
get rid of 2000 more jobs over the next two years, so no obligation to employees.
That's on top of the 1,000 that have gone over the last 12 months.
That means that the total number of jobs cut by the
National Australia Bank, the Commonwealth and the ANZ in the last
year alone is 11,500.
National's Bob Katter on the GST
"I doubt very much whether the good Lord, if He returned to earth would be
able to sell the GST." Well said Bob.
Pictures of Labor's elite dominate
In the lead up to the Queensland State election the feel good stories about
Beattie and his Labor mates dominated The Courier Mail - with many of the
journalists now reaping their reward by higher salaries in the payroll of
the new Labor government. Pretty blatant and corrupt one might say, but the
same picture is now starting to emerge on a Federal level.
Over the last two weeks the reporters have been trying to outdo themselves
with feel-good stories about Beazley and co... lobbying for top jobs in his
staff if Labor get in. This blatant unethical reporting line continue in
today's Courier Mail with grinning gollywog pictures of Beattie and the Democrat
traitor Cheryl Kernot on a ride at the Pine Rivers Show.
Funny thing when Pauline Hanson goes to a show like this the people are naturally
drawn to her, and the pictures taken reflect this fact. When the Labor elite
go they have their photo opportunity taken in places where no people can
be seen... reflecting, I believe, people's distrust of what they stand for.
Kernot is known to be all behind the
legitimisation
of gay and lesbian behaviour to the point where the relationship
is recognised in law like a normal heterosexual relationship with all the
wrappings that go with.
Yesterday she was trying to issue out a challenge to debate Pauline Hanson
saying, "I have offered to debate her but apparently she won't because I
am not an elected representative of parliament."
Hanson vote growing: Labor
Here
is an extract from that article:
The outcome of the next federal election will be largely
determined by One Nation preferences in Victoria, where Mrs Pauline Hanson's
fledgling party is winning a surge in support, according to Labor Party
research.
The research, based on a breakdown of published opinion
polls and Labor's own research, shows One Nation enjoys an astonishing 15
per cent support in Victoria - up to three times the level indicated by the
leading published opinion polls.
While the research shows Labor enjoys at least 45
per cent of the federal vote in Victoria (enough to gain at least 10 of the
27 coalition seats it needs to win government) Labor strategists fear One
Nation's high primary vote will result in a strong preference flow back to
the Liberals.
The Labor research shows the federal coalition's support
in Victoria has eroded to less than 35 per cent - lower than its average
national support.

Host richard_carleton says: "thanks for the opportunity
of talking, for what its worth my view is that there are no simple solutions
to complex problems and that, John Howard and Kym Beazley are well aware
of, and one might hope that Ms Hanson will be one day".
Unbiased political reporter huh? I thought there was
a code of ethics these guys abide by. This man unashamedly bats for the major
parties, and slanders the new third. Absolutely disgraceful moral code, to
have major TV political debates fall into this man's hands. He's an elite
media magnates dreamboy. And boy, don't they feel threatened by an uncontrolled
political party threatening their cosy media laws. Disgraceful.

Hi Scott,
I must say, It wasn't as bad as I thought it would
be.
Despite the SEVERE and BLATANT editing in the programme,
the essence of ON shone through.
I thought that the ON supporters were controlled, coherent
and restrained - taking into account the utter crap that was being hurled
around. It seems as though they still aren't prepared to listen, so all that
they have sowed, they shall reap.
Did anyone notice the recycled "modern Romeo and Juliet"
afterward? not so subtle, looks like the ...er...."people" at "9" still think
we are totally moronic and open to suggestion.
P.S. - You looked better on TV mate, do it more
often.
Cheers,
Ant
Subject: "Sixty Lies Per Minute"
was worth watching, for once!
Scott,
First of all, congratulations to all the One Nation
supporters who told it like it is. There were plenty of darned good speakers
there, but none of them were up on the stage.
I just can't get over the utter arrogance of Kroger..
The deep contempt that he has for the ordinary Australian man and woman was
just palpable.
Well, Mr Kroger, let me tell you.. We have FAR, FAR
more contempt for you and your kind, than you so clearly do for us.
Think about that, you Liblab politicians. You just
think about that for a second or two, and think what it means to your chances
of holding on to your priveleged positions for much longer.
We've had a GUTFULL, and you people are going to reap
the results of your continual neglect of your duties, your constant betrayal
of our trust, and your disgraceful conduct, when all of us "NIT-PICKERS"
and "COMPLAINERS" drag you away from the trough and boot you out into the
street come next Federal election.
And for your information, Mr Carleton, I am NOT, nor
have I EVER been, part of Mr Oldfield's "brood", thank you very much. I do
greatly admire the man's intelligence and his forthright manner, but that's
as far as it goes.
However, I am very much champing at the bit waiting
for my opportunity to vote for One Nation, just as I did in the Queensland
election. Roll on One Nation! Yahoo!
Alan.
Subject: 60 mins
I have just watched the edited 60 minutes show. Even
though this excuse of a show tried its best to belittle the One Nation people,
it failed miserably.
(I only wish I could watch the Lib/Lab machine scurrying
around in Damage Control.)
Congrats to David Oldfield and to 'Pauline People Power'.
How refreshing to see Australians finally getting a chance to kick
some "Parasite Butt".
As a New South Welshman, I now know why Qld'ers voted
for these One Nation people. They are very sharp and VERY, VERY COOL!

60 Minutes
Scott, I saw you on the 60 minutes session tonight.
It was a weird set up. I am not sure why they did it, but it certainly didn't
work for Richard Carlton, that is for sure. And David Oldfield is looking
more confident than ever.

Subject: M. Kruger represents the Liberal party
to the core.
Isn't it interesting that the only strong insinuation
about One Nation having race policies came from the Liberal speaker M. Kruger.
It didn't even figure as an issue with the One Nation people. He resorted
to scare and slander dialogue. The same man while facing a major TV debate
in front of an unprecedented political upheaval fuelled by devastating fiscal
hurt, says "There's no economic problem". I'd comment further, but that says
it all! Should we laugh or cry?

Subject: Please include this for me on the Politics
Forum........
It is definitely time that the people of Australia
got some reasonable unbiased reporting on issues, that they are not fed politics
as though it was an industry product. Politics is a tool for management not
a pawn for building a POLITICAL INDUSTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to see honest and genuine AUSTRALIANS being concerned
about where we are heading....... Australia can only head towards a better
future when this caliba of people get together. As a member of One-Nation
said on the 60mins show "We are not politicians rather citizen
representatives"......

Subject: My personal belief in the Strength of the
Australian Character
It shows in the clearest of forms that the Great Australian
Spirit is alive and struggling, when True Blue's start agreeing with each
other as to the problems which they are facing. Australians are indeed a
mixed barstard bunch. They are all from different life styles, cultural
backgrounds and racial discriptions. YET, each and everyone of them ARE
Australian, and in that UNITY they form ONE NATION!!
The Australian has a great deal of tolerance for anything
different. But the Australian does NOT need to see a final out-come, They
can see the out-come brewing before it shows itself. The Australian is obviously
no longer satisfied to sit back and tolerate the SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION of
their own BackYard. They have decided to stand up and face the illusions
which our (regretably we elected them) current political entourage of showbiz
industrial politicians have placed before us.
Just as the Aboriginal Community discovered that it
was been tottally over run (for their own sake they were too late!) by the
white mans systems. They have however discovered the flaws of the systems
which have been binding their hands. As out-rageous as it sounds they have
utilized the system to feather their own nest (credit where its due), how-ever
the school book politicians have all overlooked and even fallen into the
same political loop-holes created by the Aboriginal effort.
As Australian's all of us, we must UNITE on OUR own
ONE NATION and say enough is enough, the ROT STOPS HERE!!!!!!!!

Message to Scott Balson.
Hello Scott,
First, congratulations for your work for the new Pauline
Hanson site. In fact, what happend you is very common here in Europe. I should
even say that the reason why I contacted you was based on my surprise of
seeing it un-hacked !
While you had your problems, I found a way to be hosted
free of charge on Geocities site. I have no HTML knowledge so I wrote my
text on Adobe Page Mill (off-line) and I uploaded it later under the form
of HTML encoding created automatically by Page Mill.
On
this address you will find a first text indicating my point of vue.
Your comments are very welcome. The contain of my social-ecology theory will
be added and I am now studying how to establish "links".
To point out my mind better I have to say that we had
here, in Europe, already several quick big succes of political parties based
on angry small and medium white middle class. They all have been recuperated
or dissolved in the long term because they where suffering of a lack of wide
prolitical program and of a long term social vision. Recuperation was also
due to the work of the powerful catholic church... and this is why I have
been particularly attached to the idea of a long term vision outside the
roman church, back to traditional values.
More information on the site will follow.
Best Regards.
Andre BREMANS.

Subject: One Nation
Hi,
Im 16 years old and I support One Nation. Im from Qld
and I have had an interest in politics for many years now. I have for a long
time been thinking of joining a young wing of a political party eg young
libs, young labour, but I dont like labours policies and the libs are a joke.
I dont like the Democrates and the Nats have downgraded themselves to a lower
branch of the libs. When One Nation came in to being I thought that I would
not like them ether but they did something no other political partys do and
thats listened to Australians. Anyway I was wondering if theres any Young
One Nation groups around that I might be able to get involved with. If not
could you surggest what I could do to help One Nation.
Thanks for the help

Subject: race
The Weekend Australian ran a story on black
and white intermarriage in Britain. Apparantly a quarter of black men marry
or live with white women, but only 1.6% of black women marry or live with
white men. Marcia Williams who has never had a relationship with a white
man said: "I resent black men going out with white women because I feel we
will be a dying race if we all mix. I just can't understand friends going
out with white guys".
Why isn't this regarded as racist talk?

Subject: Ideas & Dogma
Ideas are made by masters, dogma by disciples, and
the Buddha is always killed on the road.
Tunnel vision is a disease in which perception is
restricted by ignorance and distorted by vested interests.
Tunnel vision is caused by an optic fungus that multiplies
when the brain is less energetic than the ego, it is complicated by exposure
to politics. When a good idea is run through the filters and compressors
of ordinary tunnel vision, it not only comes out reduced in scale and in
value but in its new dogmatic configuration produces effects the opposite
of those for which it was originally intended. That is how the loving ideas
of Jesus Christ became the sinister cliches of Christianity. That is why
virtually every revolution in history has failed; The oppressed, as soon
as thy seize power, turn into the oppressors, resorting to totalitarian tactics
to 'protect the revolution'. That is why minorities seeking the abolition
of prejudice become intolerant, minorities seeking peace become militant,
minorities seeking equality become self-righteous, and minorities seeking
liberation become hostile.
Tom Robbins; 'Still life with a Woodpecker'.
The organisers of the public protests against One Nation,
obviously have not learned any lessons, either from still life, Tom Robbins,
or even a Woodpecker. But the protests are the best possible fuel for political
change in Oz - there is nothing like a baptism in fire to set a real
conflagration going; the hotter the flames, the more the martyrdom, the greater
the spread of the religion, and the deeper the roots go underground to strengthen
the plant against the next fire. The plant can only grow stronger once it
has established its place in history by not withering under the first of
the flames.
It is a political trick as old as politics itself,
to accuse the accuser of the very thing you do. Want to be a big time drug
dealer? Then get into politics and start a war on drugs, then behind the
facade of the war, you gather info on your opposition, and strengthen the
network necessary to your trade. If you are a secret Fascist, then accuse
your accusers of setting up the new Brownshirts while you in fact are the
one doing it behind the blind or, if you are a secret racist, then charge
the opposition with racism, and get the blind mob to do your dirty work,
the results of which you can produce as proof of the alleged racism of your
enemy. What you hope to obtain is an over reaction on the part of the enemy,
so he will finally be hoist on his own petard as he tries by force to 'protect
the revolution' he has won. The only revolution that ever lasts is the one
that comes not from the narrow top, but the one that originates from the
broad base - it supports itself; the former needs so much constant attention
that it never lasts.
The one thing that beats all the violence, both physical
and psychological, is the secret ballot, and the thing that beats all the
polls is the bookies betting odds. Who might win? Watch the Bookies odds.
Who will win? The secret will be out when the votes are counted. Make your
vote count!
The acronym TV, applies to Tele Vision, and Tunnel
Vision alike, simply because they are alike.

Subject: Drugs in Sport
1st August, 1998
The Hon.
Minister for Sport and Recreation,
PARLIAMENT HOUSE
Dear Minister,
Constant references are being made in the media to
problems associated with the use of performance enhancing drugs in "Sport"
and our Principals have directed us to seek from, or through, you some
explanation of the present reality. Given, naturally, that it is now been
some substantial period of time since "Business" invaded and took over the
"professional" sporting arena and "Competition" became the industry "art"
of winning at virtually any cost. Everything, so they say, is fair in love
and war and this, of course, is war - the survival and prospering of the
most amoral, ethicless and ruthless participants imaginable.
Only the naive, it would appear, would believe that
"sportsman- ship" still means giving one's competitor an even break. Comparisons
with the political scene are odious and should always be discouraged. Recent
moves, by the controllers of the governing political party machines, have
been to alter the culture in a way that has rendered loyalty, particularly
to an employer including a sports club, an anachronism. They have virtually
done away with the very concept of involvement in any one activity beyond
a contractual three year term and, some would say obligingly, allowed employers
to avoid any obligations to pay long service leave benefits.
Expressions, by the top man in the International Olympic
Committee (IOC), to the effect that performance enhancing drugs should be
excised from the list of banned substances, appear to be quite in order if
the main purposes of an honourless "Sport", including perhaps the Olympics,
are now to legitimize drug peddling, collect medals and use them as an
introduction of recipients to highly profitable sponsorships of goods and
services or merely to generate extensive income for a handful of media
moguls.
Sincerely,
J o n M. A x t e n s
P.S. An early and informative reply will be appreciated
by these particular Principals and in anticipation of its supply they have
instructed us to thank you.
Another perfect day in paradise.
Have a good one.
