Today's
Headlines
an Aussie's viewpoint on Australia's
first daily Internet newspaper.
Since
October 1995
Between the One Nation lines
Now I am not saying that the post below definitely originates
from The Courier Mail's "National Affairs editor Peter Charlton but
it appears to - and makes a good introduction to the lunchtime "meeting of
minds" I had with one Jeff Kennett , Victorian Premier, yesterday. Charlton
is the reporter who tried to warm Australians on the MAI earlier this year
with a series of slanted articles
which presented
anything but the full picture.

for Blair - Cameron Thompson)

Subject: pathetic effort
Date: Sun, 06 Sep 1998 23:49:21 PDT
I have been reading what you laughingly describe as
a newspaper.
Real newspapers do not deliberately defame people.
Real newspapers are written in grammatical English.
Real newspapers have journalists who know how to spell,
not poor sad misguided dills with access to technology and a complete inability
to use it sensibly.
Don't kid yourself that your daily wank is a newspaper,
old sport. It's not.
It's a parade of prejudices, all bad.
You constantly rail about Australia being
undemocratic.
Perhaps you'd like to return to South Africa .... now
that democracy prevails there?
Now before I start expressing my views on Mr Charlton's News Limited
and "Real Newspapers" let me just start by saying that Kennett is nothing
more than a social cretin who falls back to blatant personal abuse when caught
out like a shag on the rock. You will see why in my coverage of the lunch
later in this article.
Look at how News Limited are using their dominance in our media to
manipulate what Australians hear and see in the lead up to the Federal election.
To quote the words of Chris
Schacht, ALP opposition Communications spokesman on changes to media
ownership laws, 21st August 1997, "for their own
political health they've (the Coalition)
got to get (media)
proprietors on side". Words by Schacht
at the height of the Fairfax/Packer media ownership change debacle.
Now it goes without saying Pauline Hanson stands alone in politics in giving
the media barons a big thumbs down and standing her ground against their
power games and standing up for the rights of Australian voters on an equitable
footing.
Pauline Hanson
released her
Primary Industry policy yesterday - a critical policy to One Nation
as much of her support is in the bush. The policy launch was completely ignored
by The Australian even though the media throng was there to report
it - the policy not rating even a passing mention - while her earlier meeting
with Kennett in a Toowoomba shopping centre rated a front page story under
the headline "Jeff and Pauline's blind
date". Now compare that with the extensive and ongoing negative
coverage of One
Nation's Easy Tax policy...
The Courier Mail in its own indomitable style goes one better -
for an "ethical" Queensland paper in which Charlton often reports. Give it
its due it does mention the launch of One Nation's Primary Industry policy
- just - here is what the paper says under the headline
"Hanson to use race as ace".
"One Nation also faced hostile questions following
the launch of its primary industry policy.
"Queensland Senate candidate for One Nation Sue Gordon
said she would not clarify key details of the policy because there would
be a "second stage" announcement which would set out the full cost of the
promises.
"'The costings would be given in stage two of Australia's
first national rural policy,' she said.
"But when pressed Ms Gordon would only say "friends
in high places were finalising the costings on the policy."
That's the entire coverage in The Courier Mail - you will notice that
there is no coverage of what the policy entails - just a denigrating slant
to what happened at the press conference. This is News Limited in action.
Classic stuff. I wonder what Mr Charlton would have to say about
this sort of unethical, unbalanced reporting by Mr Murdoch's pawns. He would
probably be applauding - while not recognising his own hypocrisy.
Getting back to the Kennett "date with Hanson" - I heard all about it at
THAT lunch how, "It is a sign of desperation by Mrs Hanson that she
has to go out of her way to find me to get publicity."
This was obviously a one-liner scattered around like seed in the wind because
all the media seemed to pick up on and report on it. The truth of the matter
was blatantly different as I witnessed at the lunch.
Liberal candidate for Blair Cameron Thompson launched his campaign at the
Gatton RSL. There were about 40 Liberal party members there including about
ten dignatories (ie 30 others). When asked to take our tables there was a
very small contingent of about five journalists and photographers - the event
being devoid of any television coverage - one of the journos succeeded in
knocking over the table set up for them and breaking glasses in one of the
few highlights of the lunch. No commercial television stations covered
the Liberal lunch - unlike the main game - the much unpublicised launch of
Pauline Hanson's Primary Industry policy which was taking place at the same
time. This was the truth - despite his bluster - here was the sad reflection
of Kennett's real place in society - a poor second to Pauline Hanson - despite
his comments about her seeking publicity.
The buffet lunch was quite nice but the expected numbers of Liberal faithful
were obviously down despite Kennett's presence - as can be seen from the
empty table in the photograph above.
Kennett's talk to the Liberal faithful was about as inspiring as a damp squid
in the Brisbane river. Laced with abuse he slammed One Nation and the Labor
Party and even the National Party - calling their policies retrogressive
and anti-export oriented before he was corrected by one of his audience who
said, "Don't you mean One Nation?"
At the lunch Kennett claimed that Hanson had been stalking him earlier that
day talking about how her minders had sought him out and then told her where
to meet him... what an ego!
"To think that she had stalked me in order to gain some publicity, I found
a clear indication of the fact that she is becoming, through her party,
increasingly politically desperate. They (the minders) must have scurried
inside and pulled Ms Hanson out of the cupboard in which they put her, told
her I'd arrived, then she came up behind me and grabbed me."
In classic News Limited style my confrontation with Kennett is reported
thus in The Courier Mail: "An ambush by Scott
Balson, creator of One Nation's website, triggered renewed hostilities in
Mr Kennett's one-man campaign against the party.
"You are entitled to defend and advocate your cause
as much as you like, but those of us who oppose your ideas will use the
same democratic processes to drive you off the political landscape," Mr Kennett
said.
"And I suspect a greatly increasing number of Australians
are going to make sure that happens on October 3."
The reader is left asking himself "What was the ambush?" Did I hit Kennett
over the head? Did I throw tomatoes at him or did I abuse him?
For the record, the "ambush" was a couple of questions I asked - of course
their content is censored by News Limited making for another on-sided
example of reporting. When introducing myself I said to Kennett, "I am a
One Nation supporter," resulting in his interjection "There is always one
of you in every crowd." I replied, "I did not come here to be verbally abused
I came here to listen to what you had to say and let me tell you Mr Kennett
I have a clear message for you." I then told him that Australians are sick
and tired of not being represented by the major parties. Using the
MAI as an example
- I told his audience that the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties
had been disbanded because of the election and the letter advising me of
the position said "we are unsure whether the committee will be reformed".
I stated that this disgusting treaty had been negotiated behind the
back of Australians for three years.
He responded with predictable abuse claiming that I was lying - that the
politicians had followed the MAI (even if the Australian population had been
left out of the picture) and that he had personal reservations about it.
When I got up for my right of reply Cameron Thompson tried to stir up someone
else to pose a question - he took too long. I questioned Mr Kennett's version
of events asking why then when Pauline Hanson blew the whistle on the MAI
foreign minister Alexander Downer said she "did not know what she was talking
about and that the MAI was good for Australia."
I then brought up the issue of the banks closing in the rural areas
because of the
international World Bank Financial Services Industry Agreement. This
all got a bit much for Kennett who then came out with the comments mentioned
by The Courier Mail above.
But Mr Peter Charlton (irrespective of whether the "one" above is he who
reports for Murdoch), would have you believe that News Limited
is the gate to all knowledge, the path to enlightenment while the reality
is very different - a closeted, carefully managed campaign of propaganda
against our fragile democracy.
One interesting comment I must make is that Charlton's email (despite the inaccurate date on his computer) was sent to me about two hours after my confrontation with Kennett.
If it is indeed from The Courier Mail reporter, did Kennett have a squeal to one of his media mates in high places? And, if so, what sort of reporting delights await me as retribution in the near future? Time will tell.
One Nation support grows... or does it?
Someone must be wrong... NewsPoll 7.5% - Morgan 14% (in Lindsay)
Here
is an extract from the Ballott 98 article:
While Morgan suggests Labor may be travelling better
nationally, a new poll of the outer Sydney seat of Lindsay will buoy the
Government. According to The Age-Sydney Morning Herald ACNielsen poll released
on Monday morning, Labor's primary vote has slumped to an embarassing 31
per cent.
That compares with a 45 per cent standing for the sitting
Member, Ms Jackie Kelly.
Ominously for Labor, it is One Nation which appears
to have done most damage to the ALP vote, with the support for One Nation
recorded at a healthy 14 per cent.
The Nielsen poll of 1008 is a very large sample and
was taken mid last week. It was these large marginal polls by The SMH and
The Age which correctly identified the huge swing against the Keating Government
in 1996.
Middle Class Plunging Back to Poverty
Here
is an extract from the Washington Post:
They chained down expensive equipment and locked cabinets
and doors. They took away medicine and machines and all the things that had
saved lives here, until South Korea's economic collapse made lifesaving too
expensive.
When the hospital went bankrupt, all that was left
behind was the disbelieving staff -- more than 200 nurses and pharmacists
and medical aides who had stuck by their patients and their hospital long
after their paychecks stopped coming. They were owed an average of $7,000
each in back wages, and when the owner tried to throw them into the street,
they simply sat down, too stunned to move and too scared to face life without
a job.
This is what the Asian economic crisis has brought
to South Korea. Nearly 100 times a day somewhere in this country, someone's
dream -- a tennis shoe factory, a corner grocery story, a giant automaker,
a promising fashion house, even a hospital -- is crushed under the weight
of the economic collapse. Unpaid bills are piled too high, the "closed" sign
is posted, workers are dumped, and the nation's economy slips a little
lower.
From the tropical islands of Indonesia to the mountains
of Thailand to the factories of South Korea, East Asia's amazing rush to
affluence in the last 25 years made life better, safer, more comfortable
and more hopeful. But the growth went haywire -- too much borrowed money
and too much corruption -- and the abrupt crash has shattered the lives of
tens of millions of people.

Subject: Premier Kennet...past
participle?
This gormless git, who would make a good Basil Fawlty,
has seen fit to assume the mantle of 'enforcer'/'political hit man' and 'gate
crash' his way into Queensland, and in particular the Federal seat of
Blair.
The very fact that this arrogant nobody sticks his
snout in where it's most definitely not wanted(his entire audience apparently
consisted of media appartchiks and papparazzi: no one else paid him the slightest
attention: certainly not the voters of Blair!) indicates that the Laborals
are most definitely concerned about One Nation Party's impact in the upcoming
Federal election. While these arrogant elites wined and dined with international
dignataries,(and ordinary Australians contended with 15+% real unemployment,
a shrinking permanent job market where workers slave away for an extra 400
hours a year than their European compatriots, a standard of living now ranked
21st in the world[20 years ago it was in the top 5], a plummeting Aussie
dollar, social instability, a burgeoning national debt, the country sold
out from under their feet, secret anti-family, anti-traditional morality
UN treaties and rampant and unwelcome globalalisation)Kennet the Ferret was
dispatched to do their dirty work on a mission of disruption against the
Laborals only true political opponent .
This smarmy jerk seems to think he and his partners
in crime are the 'wave of the future'. 'Pauline Hanson', he says, 'has no
future in Australian politics'. Hmmmm: read that script again champ! Or,
better yet, go back to your comic books. _YOU_ are living in Fantasy Land:
or have been advised by the fairies at the bottom of the garden. The _Laborals_
are the ones who have _no future_ in this country. Methinks your comments
come from your final resting place: the trash-can of history!

Subject: 2% flat tax
Dear Pauline.
I fully support Your policies. Having said that I would
like to make a few comments re the "2% flat tax" system. I was astounded
to hear the Costello "analysis" of this tax! It was obvious that he has NO
IDEA or any understanding of this tax at all! If a person of his background
displays a lack of basic intelligence to comprehend a very simple process,
then I hope that this will NOT be apparent in the majority of the
voters!
Before the 2nd world war during the years 1930-1938
no tax was paid by employees in Hungary. The tax was paid by the Employer
and the employee did not even know how much this was. All health services
were free! I could tell more about the hungarian economy during those days,
which were disrupted by the war.
Sincerely Yours and good luck for the campaign

Subject: EASY TAX : an idea for discussion
Dear Scott,
I had hoped to copy ON's 2% Easy Tax and present it
to my fellow workmates on the Friday morning in the hope that it might sway
many ON sympathetic ( but not as yet committed ) voters. However on consideration
I decided that a little more thought on the proposal was needed.
While I am in full agreement with the need to rebuild
our present tax system and on the surface the 2% Easy tax does offer a much
simpler solution I find it very hard to believe that most PAYE taxpayers
( 8 million + ? ) would feel comfortable with the savings on tax being put
into the pockets of their bosses. The assumption that the bonus would be
used by small business to hire more staff may be true in some cases but many
would look upon it as a windfall and many would no doubt find plenty of uses
for the bonus other than for the intended purpose. I have serious doubts
as to the consumer seeing any savings passed on down the line.
At my workplace much of that bonus would be used to
upgrade plant and equipment . My employer ( Boral ) through the use of more
Hi -tech equipment would shed a very large percentage of it's workforce.
However I do believe that if that tax saving was passed
on to the employee ie. gross wages minus 2 % tax the proposal may still work
and a lot of those 8 million + wage earners would seriously consider the
system. By injecting that tax saving into the pockets of the consumers I
believe would be a far safer alternative than trusting small business and
BIG business to do the right thing. Workers with money to spend would be
the best investors for business . They might decide that with the extra dollars
in their pocket that a first home purchase is now a realistic goal, the kids
might just get that bike, we may even be able to afford a new car and buy
those extra groceries , pay the mortgage of a little earlier and afford private
health insurance , HEAVEN FORBID WE MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO SAVE AND INVEST SOME
OF IT. Wouldn't this create employment opportunity and encourage business
to grow and become more competitive ?
I am also concerned about the use of the capital being
raised by the imposition of compulsory superannuation on PAYE taxpayers.
If each employee contributes say $50/ fortnight and you multiply that by
26 then multiply that again by 8 million which equates to 10.4 billion dollars
/ year being entrusted into the hands of the financial institutions. Where
is the evidence that this money is being wisely invested in AUSTRALIA ? Indeed
how much is left in the kitty in the light of the financial meltdown.? Wouldn't
these funds be more wisely entrusted to a PEOPLES BANK lending for the benefit
of our business and rural industries ? It may even force our other lending
institutions to be more competitive.
As ON's tax proposal is open to debate I hope my criticism
is taken in good spirit as I think the proposal for a 2% Easy tax is certainly
worth consideration but unless the above proposal is offered as an alternative
ON will not gain a lot of support amongst unionist and PAYE taxpayers and
this will UNFORTUNATELY impact on election day.
Have a good day...........
Steve,
Subject: EasyTax
I suppose like everyone I can see advantages and
disadvantages in the EasyTax scheme.
But one thing which is very obvious to me is that
politicians and the media who are critisizing it, are doing so out of complete
ignorance. The effects of a tax like this on the economy would obviously
be very large. Cliched and, dare I say it "populist" and "simplistic" critisisms
by the mainstream parties are about as foolish as they come. Who is proposing
the "easy answers" now? It is Laboral with their "do nothing" or "do what
everyone else has done" ideas. How much more simplistic and populist can
you get?
I've been pondering this EasyTax proposal. Everytime
I see a disadvantage in the scheme, I can see how those problems may be negated
by all the advantages. No Tax system is perfect of course, but I can see
how this one might be a lot better than anything the mainstream parties are
offering.
So my final comment is this: Good on you One-Nation
for having the guts to put forward this proposal. I hope one day the party
might have sufficient power to force treasury to put even more analsis into
the idea so that the people can have an informed decision about the idea.
Hey -- it's hard to imagine it could be any worse than what we have now,
and I've got a suspicion it could be heaps better.
And shame on the major parties for attacking it with
slogans and very shallow analysis.
Subject: bribes for ethnics
The Federal Government has already allocated $5 million
to a "Living in Harmony" anti-racism campaign. The money provides grants
to community groups to organize racial harmony projects. Now the government
has announced an "Australia Be Proud" campaign which is to 'educate' Australians
about the benefits of immigration and multiculturalism.
Seeing as Australians lived in harmony before the adoption
of multiculturalism, these campaigns are nothing more than tax-payer-funded
electoral bribes to ethnic organizations. They insult all Australians whatever
their background, and they particularly insult our Australian nation which
was unsurpassed in tolerance.
I am sure migrants who love Australia and feel privileged
to call themselves Australian will treat this latest deceitful tactic with
the contempt it deserves.

Subject: Comments on Australian News of the
Day
dear Scott,
I remember back in the fifties, when we had a referendum
on the rights of people to be communists, the Labor party`s cry was the quote
from Voltaire "I may not agree with the things you say, but I will defend
to the death your right to say it". A wonderful statement for those who truly
believe in democracy. Strangely enough I dont hear it from them, the Liberals
or the media today. Are these people really interested in the democracy of
this nation? After reading in todays CM (7 sep) that the UK gov is preparing
to ditch their Queen, while we illegally( according to International Law)
accept Her Letters Patent to keep up a facade which hides Illegal governments
and judiciary. Maybe we should resurrect the above quotation.
Keep up the good work
regards John Hugo.
Subject: Resistance
This is the copy of one of my newsgroups posts in reply
to publicity for the forthcoming demo against One Nation:

Mmmmm. I used to be at school too. You wouldn't have
needed much to get me out of class. I have the feeling that many of the students
walked out to enjoy the day out. The day they protest against One Nation
by sending their pocket money to the Red Cross, I will believe that they
genuinly took action against One Nation. It is worth mentioning that school
kids in Australia are shielded from the truth about One Nation by both teachers
and the media. So when they demonstrate, they are doing so against their
PERCEPTION of what One Nation stands for. See the difference?

Hahaha. The conscience of the nation... Pull my other

Correct. The government has been implementing many
of One Nation's policies. Now, any idea why he does not put a stop to One
Nation? Come on, try a little harder... Have you ever thought that it could
be a very remote possibility that Howard in fact welcomes some of One Nation
's policies?

I have got a better idea. They can stay in their country

You will also demonstrate that Resistance does very
well out of its "pretend anti-racism" membership drives. Your group is using
One Nation for the publicity. You know as well as I do that One Nation does
not have a single racist policy but you do not let the poor kids who follow
you that the whole game is a big con job. Why don't you tell the kids what
YOU stand for?

Subject: young citizens
Apart from Albania and Singapore - nations not renowned
for the robustness of their democracies - Australia is the only other nation
to have compulsory voting. Whether that is a good or bad thing is debatable,
but I am strongly of the opinion that voting for 18-21 year olds should be
optional.
Why? While some are passionate about politics others
are simply too immature to care, and they freely admit it. To counter this
apathy, Triple J radio station is running a Rock Enrol campaign. Over the
weekend enrolment forms were handed out at rock gigs across the country to
'encourage ' the teens to register as voters.
This is patronizing and plain spoon-feeding. It is
hardly the way to encourage civic responsibility. If 18 year olds are citizens,
let them accept citizenship's duties. If they can't motivate themselves to
pick up an enrolment form at the post office they are not ready to vote.
