first daily Internet newspaper.
Since
October 1995
Alexander Downer screws up again
What a vision old foot in mouth trying to have a go at Pauline Hanson in
Indonesia. Now Indonesians are perhaps the most racist people in Asia. Their
recent actions against the Indo-Chinese was widely reported with the "racist"
tag somehow escaping Australian reports.
You see the "racist" tag has already found its media home - yes anything
to do with Hanson... it does not matter how blatantly untrue the description
is - just keep trotting it out at any opportunity and sure enough one day
it might just stick.
Unfortunately some media commentators independent of Packer and Murdoch and
with real credibility have blown the whistle.
Just
last week Alan Jones said, "Every politician
now knows that a lot of people out there have had a gutful of being ignored,
unrepresented, and force fed policy and decision that they don’t agree
with, but now the best it seems, and the most vicious way to counter all
this is to call Pauline Hanson a ‘racist’. Say it without any
proof.
"In other words if people disagree about the way Aborigines
should be best treated call them ‘racist’, if they disagree on
the levels of migration, call them ‘racist’."
Well Laboral were at it again - this time Downer told a large group of Indonesian
businessmen that Pauline Hanson's racist views were not representative of
most Australians.
Is it any wonder that our Asian neighbours are concerned about Hanson
- after all the lies that the politicians and the media are telling?
Old friends can make bitter enemies
Disendorsed Noosa candidate David
Summers (seen right with Pauline Hanson at the
One Nation
Birthday party) and Terry Sharples who contested the Burleigh seat
in the recent
Queensland State Election
have served a writ and notice of motion in the Supreme Court
in Brisbane claiming One Nation is not a validly registered party pursuant
to the Electoral Act 1992 (Qld).
The party has already been given the green light by the Queensland Electoral
Commission - but don't let that decision get in the way of losers.
David Oldfield responded to their writ by saying, "They are wasting their
time and the court's time simply for a headline."
The losers are aiming at freezing the funds that will be paid back to candidates
for expenses in promoting their campaigns.
Scott Balson again named in Parliament?
One of the joys of being associated with the One Nation party is you get
to be named in Parliament on a regular basis.
Just last week Tony Abbott called me
"the
constitutional officer" when trying to question the legitimacy of
Pauline Hanson's One Nation and this week , according to Peter Charlton,
it was the turn of National Party Senator Ron Boswell to have a go.
In an article today headed "Conspiracy
Theory"
(reminds me of
another recent article of a similar name by this man) Charlton again
draws the reader's attention to me. This is the second time in two weeks
that Charlton has referred to me personally in articles - obviously the web
page must be seen to be having some considerable influence on the trash that
the News Limited papers throw at us day after day...
Here is what Charlton says:
"Boswell also pointed the finger at Scott Balson,
One Nation's World Wide Webmaster... "how many voters in Queensland knew
that... Scott Balson has a business arrangement with the same extremist
newspaper, The Strategy? Balson gives them double billing with his
own news of the day service. Together they form the Independents
Consortium."
"Balson has been off the web this week: his service
provider went broke."
The only factual statement in this extract is that my service provider
went broke. The Strategy has far more credibility than any News
Limited paper that I know of.
I have scoured the Senate Hansard and found that there is no reference to
me in the Senate by Boswell this week
(6th to 10th July
1998). I will be placing another complaint with the Australian Press
Council against The Courier Mail for Charlton's blatant lies in the article.
The story behind the "Keating" piggery
story
The reporting on Paul Keating and the piggery over the last few days has
been a classic example of how the media intimidate those in power. The
Murdoch/Packer empires have an enormous reservoirs of information on Australians
"of interest". This information, when used, is seldom used in the best interest
of the person being "exposed".
The Mafia-like tactics of the media barons have been used countless times
before and have often resulted in Prime Ministers and governments in power
working closely with the Packers and Murdochs to their best interests - and
against the best interests of the man in the "Australian" street.
Margo Kingston a journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald said last
year:
"Now when you have a man so powerful that he can
buy Graeme Richardson
to talk the
Labor party
around and
Michael Kroger
to talk the Liberal
party around, and
Howard and Costello and Alston
jump to his every need no matter how irrational,
no matter how transparently incoherent their arguments, we have a huge problem.
And yes, personally I am very scared, personally, of Mr Packer taking
over Fairfax."
Of course, today, Packer virtually controls the editorial content in Fairfax
through one of his key men, Brian Conroy, who now heads up that organisation...
a move that went ahead without a whimper from either side of government.
Quite simply they did not dare to challenge one of the men who could dump
on them.
In an
editorial,
in The Courier Mail on September 5, 1997 under the heading,
Heading "Media gambit failed the basic test"
it was
reported:
"The inept attempt by John Howard to reshape media
ownership policy deserved to fail and has been rightly consigned to the
“after the next election” drawer. The bid by the Prime Minister
and Communications Minister Senator Richard Alston to dump the cross media
ownership restrictions failed the basic test the Government set for its changes:
it was mogul specific.
"Both Mr Howard and Senator Alston protested that,
unlike former prime minister Paul Keating, they would not draw up media rules
to suit any proprietor.
"This was always tendentious nonsense. the driving
force behind these mooted changes was to allow Kerry Packer’s Publishing
and Broadcasting Ltd to buy the Fairfax newspapers while maintaining its
stake in the Nine television network."
The reason the statement was made was quite simply because Howard had left
Murdoch out of "the deal".
Which brings us back to the Keating expose.
It would be laughable to think that the feature in The (Fairfax) Age
last week headed "THE DEAL" was based on information just obtained.
In the article it is revealed that Keating was paid Au$6 million in a piggery
deal by one of Indonesia's wealthiest families, the Soeryadjaya family. Keating,
at the time, said that he was selling out to his share of the Browne and
Hatton piggery to his partner Constantinidis, when in fact the piggery was
being bought by overseas (Indonesian) interests.
The bottom line of the article is that the Indonesian family were, in fact,
"buying Keating's influence" when buying the piggery which had debts
in region of an estimated Au$15 million. In fact,
according
to Senator Michael Baume, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia
loaned Keating and his Greek partner Au$23 million against security of under
Au$1 million - but this is just one of many amazing breaches of regulation
that would not apply to average Aussies but were provided to Keating in the
piggery case.
What the news has not covered amongst all the extensive reporting is the
link between Keating's piggery and the operations subsequent changes of ownership
and the impact that it has had on mum and dad piggery operations in Queensland.
"Keating's" piggery operations once in Indonesian hands were merged with
Danish pork company Danpork which has been responsible, in recent months
of putting
some 500 small farmers out of business.
What you will notice, if you take the above link, is how the Queensland
government (bureaucrats) made some quite remarkable decisions to favour the
Danpork operation to the detriment of the mum and dad piggeries in the area.
What we have here is a classic case of payback by Keating using his influence
to favour the foreign investors who bailed him out - and this is done to
the detriment of hard working Australians who had built up small piggery
farms to earn a crust.
One can only wonder why the Murdoch/Packer media left this key development
out of their stories hammering Keating, but you can bet one thing for sure
and that is that Keating reneged on a deal and has now been dealt with by
Packer.
The only question is "What was the deal?" My view is that Keating was working
for Packer interests in Indonesia and when things got to hot he dumped the
deal. Packback is always sweet for the media barons because it reminds
the other politicians that their future is dependent on playing ball their
way.
The A Current Affair talk fest
That well known grinning creampuff, Ray Martin, introduced a new, laughable
format of unrepresentative current affairs to our television screens
last night. Martin made out that he was wanting to get answers to hundreds
of questions raised by letter writers.
His introduction was about the only good thing about the programme, "We brought
together a bunch of Australians, a diverse bunch to toss around your
questions....Pauline Hanson said we are in danger of losing our Australian
identity" so we all waited expecting to see mums and dads talking about issues
as the camera shifted to the "bunch of Australians".
What a grand disappointment. What we got was a bunch of elite
internationalists and well known anti-Hanson personalities. There was Cheryl
Kernot, Ita Buttrose, Bryce Courtenay, John Laws, Dick Warburton, Wendy McCarthy
(University Chancellor), Gerard Henderson (Political Commentator), and Tan
Le (Young Australian of the Year).
Ita Buttrose was the first into the foray: "She is feeding of the fear of
change, we are not losing the Australian identity - that is a load of hogwash."
Just a few minutes into the segment Ita Buttrose had already dominated the
conversation with her condescending remarks to the "viewer out there".
Dick Warburton, on the Reserve Bank Board, "Then Pauline Hanson comes along
and says do you want a 2% loan then I'll give it to you...." well Dick
what about the 1.5% loan to the Aborigines... why single out that race!
But perhaps the classic was the statement by Cheryl Kernot who said, and
I quote, "There is another issue to, and that is that about 80% of the Hanson
voters are men." Her obsession with the sexes continues.
All in all a programme which had about as much to do with Australians as
ice caps on the Sunshine Coast.

Rather silly that a Jewish magazine should do it. Try

The Editor
Dear Sir
As a organisation that claims to represent millions
of persecuted Jews I am amazed that you would publish the membership list
of a legally constituted Australian political party.
It would appear that the Jewish community are now branding
any Australian who dares to exercise his or her democratic rights in questioning
our immigration policy a RACIST.
What next......Will you be demanding all One Nation
members have serial numbers tattooed on their wrists?
Yours in absolute disgust

"The Gotcha
List"
Dear Sir,
I am not intimidated by the list, in fact the list
has been a good thing for Australia.
It has proven once and for all that there are racial
groups in Australian that have assumed positions of superiority. There could
be no other interpretation on this act other than one of inciting racial
hatred and bringing about a state of unrest in our Nation. It is going to
be very difficult for honest people to ever again take seriously, anything
that emanates from this particular section of the Jewish Community.
I truly hope that the peaceful, democratic and decent
Jewish people, let it be known in no uncertain terms that this action by
their self-proclaimed elites is totally unacceptable and a violation of the
basic democratic rights of the Australian people.

Subject: An open Email to Australia/Israel
Review
To whom it may concern at Australia/Israel Review,
I feel it only fair to inform you that a copy of this
Email has been sent to Mr. Scott Balson, webmaster of the One Nation party,
with my permission to publish it in his "Your Say" section, also, I hope
it is no problem for you if I similarly submit your reply (if any) to Mr
Balson.
I must stress, however, that I have not given Mr Balson
permission to include any of my personal details in my submission, and I
hope and trust that you will similarly respect my privacy.
The purpose of this Email is to add my voice to those
of the many Australians who have expressed grave concerns at what they perceive
to be a gross invasion of privacy committed by your magazine.
I refer of course to your recent actions of publishing
the names and some personal details of One Nation members in your
magazine.
I see from recent public statements from one of your
spokesmen, that you do not share these concerns.
In view of the above, and to show your own consistency,
can I request that you publish a list of all Liberal Party Parliamentarians
who are members of the so-called "Lyons Forum", with, if possible, a brief
description of what that organisation stands for.
Also, could I request that you publish a list of all
sitting Labor Party Parliamentarians who belong to "The Fabian Society",
again supplying (if possible) details of that organisation's beliefs and
aims.
I realise it would be a bit silly for me to ask you
to publish a list of all Liberal, Labor, and National party members who are
Jewish, I fully appreciate that you would see this as a gross invasion of
their privacy (in addition, of course, to being of no possible interest to
anybody at all).
However, I WOULD like you to provide a complete list
of all sitting Parliamentarians, as well as all candidates in the up-coming
Federal Elections, who are Jewish.
I feel it would be advantageous for voters to know
beforehand, just where our potential politicians are "coming from", as it
were, since many of us who do not share the beliefs of the Jewish faith may
feel that a Jewish MP would be unsuitable.
For example, I would assume that many Australian voters
of Moslem or Christian or indeed Palestinian background, could possibly feel
that any such candidate may be unable or unwilling to adequately represent
his or her interests in our Parliament.
Finally, I would like to assure you that I believe
strongly that, as loyal Australians, members of our Jewish community have
every right to express valid criticisms of One Nation policy.
However, having said that, I'd implore you to keep
in mind that many good Australians who are One Nation supporters, have fathers
and grandfathers who gave their lives fighting the NAZI scourge in order
that you and I could live in such a pleasant and democratic society such
as is present-day Australia. I imagine that many of these good people would
be most upset at being compared to NAZIs or fascists, as quite a few One
Nation detractors are prone to do.
Therefore, it is my opinion that it would be "nice"
if you could confine your statements to criticisms of One Nation policy,
rather than personal vilification of the type that we've all too often
seen.
I eagerly await your reply.
PS, Mr Balson, if you decide to include this Email
on your web page, I request that you do not publish my name or Email
address.
Thank you.

Subject: Who will spring the trap of Leiblers
List?
All things seem to be going to plan. The list was printed,
the public are outraged and amid the torrent of accusations that are being
hurled at the AI Review, specific details from specific people are no doubt
being carefully taken.
Will it be YOU that springs the trap of Leiblers
List?
The One Nation bandwagon rolls on, and particular interests
are finding themselves threatened. Amongst the public outrage there has wrongly
been condemnation of Jews from many directions, but only the condemnations
of some are going to be remembered. These chosen few will consist mainly
of One Nation members (particularly those on the printed list and in party
positions) and no doubt an assortment of targeted miscellaneous
individuals.
Their wrongful condemnation of Jews will provide the
ammunition to not only justify the printing of Leiblers List, but will justify
their printing of the other 6000 alleged names. Regardless of the bastardry
shown in printing the first list, the AIR will say "look over there, One
Nation members are calling for the deportation of Jews"........ (or some
other appropriately juicy comment made in the heat of the moment )......"We
told you they were Nazis". And the media circus will lap it up!
It will only take the reckless comments of a few for
the media to demonise One Nation as a whole for the comments of anti-semitism.
The commercial media will make sure the public never forget.
So when we rightly criticise the AIR for their despicable
actions, let us be careful how we vent our spleen. Hit these bastards where
it hurts, in the courts and in their wallets, not in the public arena with
emotion.
You may ask why I would think such bizarre
thoughts......well if I were an immoral soul and had a political agenda that
excluded One Nation from existing, and if I were running the AIR, I would
not do exactly what they have done, but it would be very very close to the
mark.
So let us tread carefully lest YOU be the one to spring
the trap of Leiblers List.
Cheers!

Subject: Political Censorship?
Sir,
I am writing to express my dismay at your in-flight
censorship of Channel 9 coverage of Pauline Hanson and the One Nation political
party. This is not what I expect in an airline. Certainly the public -- your
customers -- has the right to decide for itself what to think on political
matters? It is hardly up to airlines to decide what kind of political views
are acceptable to be covered by the news and which are not.
I am a frequent intercontinental traveller. I will
not travel on an airline that would treat me in such a patronising manner.
Once Qantas decides to focus on what it should be doing -- providing a safe
and comfortable travel for its customers -- I will choose airlines threat
their customers with more respect.
Yours,

Subject: Racism
The essence of racism is the universal proposition
"All (identified class members) are bad"-- refutable by the contrary "Some
(such members) are not bad". It is laughable to entertain the syllogism "All
Hansonites are racists; there are 400,000 Queensland Hansonites, therefore
400,000 Queenslanders are racist and bad."
The promoters of the patently invalid attack on One
Nation are obviously the beneficiaries of its possible success--opposing
political parties (all of them) and media interests--whose spin doctors
anticipate and respond to any change which indicates that the peasants might
be getting out of established control.
What has now become clear is that the incumbent parties'
hatred of losing their statistical vote-share is a far more passionate hatred
than that ascribed to the monopoly on racism which they impute to the
Hansonites.
I am reminded of the equally serious Reformation contest
between the Church of England and that of Rome, during which a temporary
failure in the quality of England's soap was ascribed to "Popish"
retaliation!
It is a damning indictment of our political institutions
that the Australian compulsory preferential electoral system (designed to
heavily favour major-party incumbents) is able to be further corrupted by
systematic disinformation and overt preference-vote manipulation in order
to produce a result acceptable to persons who are interested in particular
outcomes, justice not being one of them.
I have no interest in promoting one party or another.
I merely despair that reason cannot avail against the stultifying vested
interests which constantly--and so successfully--pervert our
"democracy".

Subject: Am I a racist?
I would prefer Australia to maintain a recognisably
Anglo culture, but I don't have a problem with migrants per se or people
of other races. For example, I thought that the young Vietnamese-Australian
girl who won the "Young Australian of the Year Award" was a shining example
of what it means to be truly Australian. And I believe that some Asian groups
'assimilate' better than some European groups. However, I don't believe we
need an overt policy of multiculturalism, or that migrant pressure/lobby
groups have any place in our society. We will never go back to the 50's:
too many Aussies like ethnic food too much, and in any case, I would guess
that Aussie culture is destined to be just a sub-culture of a pan-Western
culture anyway. The reality is that we are already a pluralistic society
tolerant of differences in how people live and I believe that 'multiculturalism'
is more divisive and more inflammatory than anything else. So far as 'diversity'
being a resource, you only need to look at Japan, one of the most monocultural
societies on earth to show the falsity of this notion. In any case, cultures
are just a human 'invention' anyway and thus subject to the same criticisms
as any other human ideas, and we tend to filter foreign cultures through
our own values ( e.g. we don't condone the attitude of some cultures towards
women and practices such as clitoridectomy ). My preference would be for
migration levels to be tied to unemployment levels and also tied to our ability
to successfully deal with our environmental problems.
That's about it: so am I a racist?
Ian Gray
POLITICAL RACISM IN AUSTRALIA
The only racism being practised in Australia is by
politicians of all persuasions and it is being directed at all cultures.
There are no families of any race that haven't been torn asunder by our political
boys and girls.
In related writings I have shown how the misappropriation
of taxpayer monies, over many years, has destroyed the fabric of Australian
society. Australia isn't a patch of what it used to be - let me take you
back to the future:
In 1945, Ben Chifley, shocked and compassioned by what he saw was being done
to families during the great depression, introduced his Commonwealth Home
Loan Scheme (CHLS). By 1954, 48 per cent of families owned their home outright.
The significance of this policy should be etched in our memory if we are
to begin fighting the racists in Canberra who would destroy us totally.
In 1950, Robert Menzies, by a cheap trick, won Office
over Chifley and in 1954 proceeded to dismantle the CHLS. The enormity of
this first post-war injustice to families must be driven home to people,
because it was the end of Australia being the 'Lucky Country'.
It should be pointed out here that if the CHLS had
been allowed to continue, every family in Australia who wanted one, would
have owned their home by 1960.
Apologists for our racist political parties (In the
main, all journalists and whores) will offer many arguments against this
truth but none should be believed.
The plain truth is that all party politicians since
Bob Menzies have eagerly partaken of the fruits of office while presiding
over the destruction of nigh on one million families, regardless of culture
or race.
Some further points:
In spite of the fact that in 1997-98, Australia earned a total net revenue
of $144.2 billion our corrupt politicians still had to sell off Telstra and
the Commonwealth bank to pay off foreign debt and make ends meet. (In 1950,
Ben Chifley wanted to nationalise the banking system!) Due to the anti-family
policies of our mentally sick politicians, many thousands of disaffected
fathers are preying on young people in politically correct brothels. These
young prostitutes (of all races) are being fed heroin and are dying at a
rate of six per day.
Instead of fathers being at home protecting their offspring
they are in brothels bonking each others children.
Pauline Hanson might not have all the answers but she
is a breath of fresh air when it comes to a choice between her and our racist
politicians.
If every family had their own home we would have no
foreign debt to pay off and our welfare bill would be negligible.
In conclusion, if we are to rescue ourselves from our
racist politicians, we must go back to the future and reinstate the CHLS
(Commonwealth Home Loan Scheme).
We might also reduce our country's highest ever crime
rate - although perhaps, not our political crime.

Letters to the Editor
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EMERALD - (Tuesday, July 7, 1998) - A recent Victorian
Supreme Court decision following the appeal of Coles Myer Limited could see
State and Federal taxation authorities across Australia forced to refund
millions of dollars to public companies involved in share buyback
transactions.
Basically, the decision found that there was no transfer
of rights that attract stamp duty but rather an extinguishment of the rights
of those shares. It is expected that there will be an increased interest
in buybacks.
The decision should be of great concern to small business
and the pay as you earn tax payers because any erosion of the anticipated
tax collection will result in the governments finding other ways to raise
the taxation. Yours,
V. (Vic.) B. Cominos

Subject: Offensive cartoon in 'Australian',
2/7/1998 Dear Sir/Madam,
I wish to vigorously protest at the cartoon which appeared
in the 'Australian' newspaper of 2nd July, 1998. The obvious implication
of this cartoon was that One Nation Party supporters are illiterate fools.
I take grave offence at this.
One Nation Party is a legitimate political organisation
of similar if not comparable standing to the Australian Labour Party or the
Liberal Party. Doubtless, your paper would not consider publishing a cartoon
characterising supporters of those parties as uneducated imbeciles. Meanwhile,
I shall urge my friends, associates and colleagues _NOT_ to purchase your

Furthermore, I shall urge them to inform _their_ friends,

Subject: suggestion
Dear Sir
There is ample evidence to suggest that One Nation
has captured many votes in rural Queensland. This may include many local
urban areas where dissatisfaction is emotionally apparent with the manner
Australia is being governed. What I am about to suggest is a procedural policy
that may capture many urban and rural votes in Western Australia. In no way
do I wish to consider myself above your knowledge and political strategies,
however, I am one of many faceless who are listening to One Nation. Should
your mandate include legislative changes to the Criminal Code and Immigration
Law that includes cultivation and distribution of prohibited substances to
the list of serious crimes then an avenue may be opened for deportation of
any immigrant, (Anglican to Asian) and their respective families, to their
country of birth should they be convicted of a crime under the serious crimes
schedule. Such a consequence would instil fear that present punishment cannot
maintain. It would lessen imprisonment costs, reduce the care costs to the
taxpayer and give hope to those who cannot protect themselves. In Western
Australia crime exceeds all other States. We have the highest divorce rate,
the highest road death rate, the highest workplace injury and death rate
and the highest vehicle theft rate. Presently assorted media is associated
with recent elderly bashings. If One Nation continued with its battle cry
of “Australia First” and demonstrated a clear mandate to law and
order you would capture many votes that are swinging in this state. We boast
of sophistication, however, the truth is we are divorced geographically from
our Nation’s vote. In many cases election results are announced before
our votes are even counted. Twenty thousand voters marched in Perth when
a 200 previous conviction Aboriginal killed a pregnant woman and her young
son in a car chase. Four thousand elderly marched last weekend to protest
at elderly bashings. I hope your local candidates are keeping you aware of
changes in culture in Western Australia. Forget targeting judges for weak
sentencing; change the legislation so they can act. There are three distinct
occupations that are subject to Aboriginal funding abuse on a daily basis,
teachers, nurses and the police. You could get their vote.
Take care.

Subject: HOW TO VOTE PAMPLETS
Dear Sir
We would like to see One Nation introduce a Private
members Bill into Queensland State Parliament which outlaws the distribution
of false, misleading or ambiguous how to vote instructions. We believe that
this practice amounts to the same class of deception as vote rigging, double
voting and stand over threats of the supposed consequences of voting for
a particular candidate. In a country where voting is compulsory it is
inappropriate to allow this practice to continue.
With regards to Laurie Breretons' comment about members
of One Nation deserving to be exposed because of his inaccurate view of the
polices of One Nation. Our comment is that, "Mr. Brereton has always shown
himself to be bereft of enough intelligence to offer an opinion about anything.
The man sold his sole to the Keating principles years ago and would be better
suited to retire and raise mushrooms in Launceston, or Sydney or anywhere
