Today's
Headlines
an Aussie's viewpoint on Australia's
first daily Internet newspaper.
Since
October 1995
The Media start reflecting on their own
bias.
After Ipswich's
Queensland Times
was thrown out of a press conference in her office last week the
media are starting to have a think about their own bigotry, bias and blatant
dishonesty. (Note the reference to The Courier Mail's bias).
Extracts from the Sunday programme
Margo Kingston on reflecting how she was accused by her colleagues
of going soft on the One Nation leader after spending some time in the bush
with Pauline Hanson:
‘What I was actually doing, shock horror, was observational reporting.
That’s all.
Interviewer: ‘As distinct from?’
Kingston: ‘As distinct from finding the chink and making that
the story. For example The Courier Mail followed her once after they
tried to ignore her. They followed her up to north Queensland where every
single small town came out to see her. There were mob scenes, interesting,
weird, mind-blowing phenomenon.
The Courier Mail ran four par(agraphs) on how she nearly got killed
on the road when her driver tried to overtake. That was it.
‘One obvious example of the media’s calculated bias against Hanson
was the photos of her that it used...
‘You look at the mainstream media’s use of pictures before the
Queensland election they were all of her thin lipped, scouring, glaring,
every single one of them.’
............
Peter Bauers (respected Canberra journalist) “There are elements
of truth about her comments about Aborigine getting loans for 1.5%”
Break to Pauline Hanson asking Howard in Parliament, how can you make loans
at 1.5% for Aborigines and not for the bush “when you called for equality
at Longreach”.
Bauers, “Why can’t you set up loans for hardpressed countryfolk
at 1.5%? When I set up a People’s Bank I get ridiculed. There is an
element of truth. That is true.”
Interviewer, “Is it true that country folk think that that element
of the debate has been suppressed by people like you and I?”
Bauer, “I think a lot of us in the media may have been shied
of these things because of political correctness. That we didn’t want
to question thinks (like) why Aboriginal health is such an appalling,
disgraceful, national scandal. After a great deal of public money has been
thrown at that problem.”
..............
John Pasquarelli (Pauline Hanson’s first political adviser),
“As soon as you try to have a debate you are called a racist. seriously,
you are called a racist. Read through the Age and the Fairfax press. You
are called a racist or you are called a bigot. Thank God now those words
have been so misused by your mates in the media they have lost their currency.
Just like homosexual styled gay and now we are going to see
“principle” and “morality” the way the pollies here are
flogging those words - in another couple of years they won’t have any
currency either.”
................
David Oldfield, “People hate, absolutely hate, the media with
a vengeance.
“There are no taboos. Any line can be crossed - as soon as it is Pauline
Hanson the media think they have got a free kick to hurt, to impale, to attack,
to murder to do anything they like. Any scurrilous allegation regardless
of how lacking in substance or lacking in credibility the person who might
be making the claim might be it gets a run. If you are willing to put up
your hand and say ‘I have got something really nasty to say about Pauline
Hanson’, you will find yourself on national television.”
............
Interviewer: Neither Tony Abbott nor most of the media which carried
his allegations (about the legitimacy of the One Nation party) bothered to
check them first. Readers of this Sun Herald headline could be excused for
thinking that Pauline Hanson would pocket Au$500,000 (headline:
Pauline pockets
Au$500,000).
Yet this week a frustrated Queensland Electoral Commissioner, Des O Shea,
told the Sunday programme that Abbott’s claims were totally baseless.
Protesting louts hammer Hanson's car as she leaves
meeting
Television images of a violent 200 strong rent-a-crowd mob infecting the
Australian goodwill with their bigotry and hatred were sent around the world
yesterday. The moment came when Pauline Hanson left a meeting where she had
addressed about 700 supporters in the Perth suburb of High Wycombe.
The protesters made up of the usual motley bunch of no-hopers and left wing
fringe university drop outs were violent before during and after the event
with guests being jostled and abused when they came to hear Pauline Hanson
speak.
During the two hour long meeting their were scuffles between the 50 police
and protesters outside the venue.
Pauline Hanson got into her car safely when she left. However, only the
reinforced windows of Pauline Hanson's car stopped her being hurt as one
man, Wayde McDonald, 28, of Victoria Park, lunged against the glass in a
blatant attempt to physically assault her. He was arrested and taken away
by police.
One Nation director David Ettridge said that it was probably the most violent
moment in the short history of the party as he, seated next to Pauline, watched
the protesters surround the car and hammer the windows with sticks and fists.
"I don't think we've had that before at such close hand. Anything could have
happened," he said.
"Pauline was surprised by the aggression of the people and their degree of
hatred. She doesn't have these problems in the eastern states.
"When you see their faces staring at you through the glass, you wonder what
planet they come from," Ettridge said.
So just what is the media's definition of racism?
When Pauline Hanson suggested that ATSIC be disbanded she was labelled a
racist by the media "for singling Aborigines out".
Now we learn that the Coalition, in an attempt to woo back some One Nation
votes, are to disband the central head office and shift control to regional
centres although there will be no savings in the Au$1.8 billion tax payer
funded ATSIC budget. It is expected that cost cutting will follow.
The changes are expected to be submitted by Aboriginal Affairs minister John
Herron in a submission to cabinet next month.
Of course the headline makes no reference to "racism" and, after all why
should it? This is Murdoch's business mates in the Coalition not the unwanted
outsider One Nation!
Can someone check this tax issue out?
Dear One Nation
As someone who works in an accountants office, I wondered
if sending you information which you may find helpful, will aid you now and
when you finally come to running this country.
On the 10th July I went to a tax seminar - Taxation
Intensive Day, CPA held at The Carlton Crest Hotel, Brisbane. It was stated
that Division 7A of the ITAA became law at the 23rd June but that on the
10th July NO COPY OF THIS NEW LEGISLATION was available. This means that
people can be prosecuted under the law when they are not permitted to even
see that law.
Accountants and Lawyers are supposed to be advising
their clients and need information well before it becomes law. What kind
of mismanagement is this?

Democrats admit loss of votes to One Nation
The Australian Democrats says it will win votes from the Liberal party because
of the Federal government's stance on Wik.
Democrat's Leader Meg Lees says party polling in Sydney and Melbourne shows
traditional Liberal voters are switching to the Democrats, because they are
disappointed in the Federal Government's handling of native title and other
social issues.
But, speaking on Channel Ten's Meet the Press program, Senator Lees said
her party was also losing votes - to One Nation.
"It's very hard to actually track votes to that extent," she said.
"But we know that there is certainly just that section of pure protest -
anti, I guess you'd called those voters - anti-politics, anti-politicians,
that has wandered away."
Further evidence of Labor's involvement in violence
against One Nation
This web page carries
links sympathetic with the Labor party and interviews with Militant's
Stephen Jolly.
On the mainstream media's basis of balanced reporting this should now make
the news headlines as Militant were responsible for the
violence at a One
Nation meeting in Dandenong last year.
Let's wait and see... Ha! Ha! (See the story above about media bias).
Free of Oversight, U.S. Military Trains Foreign
Troops
Here
is an extract from the Washington Post article:
The Clinton administration has enforced a near-total
ban on the supply and sale of U.S. military equipment and training for the
Colombian military because of its deep involvement in drug-related corruption
and its record of killing politicians, human rights activists and civilians
living in areas controlled by guerrilla groups. The restrictions have permitted
limited training in specific areas controlled by drug traffickers, but require
that Colombian units first be evaluated for human rights performance before
receiving U.S. assistance.
However, U.S. special operations forces, unbeknownst
to many in Congress who fought for the original restrictions, are legally
free of these restraints and have trained hundreds of Colombian troops in
"shoot and manoeuvre" techniques, counterterrorism and intelligence gathering.
The special forces training proceeded even in 1996 and 1997, when Clinton
"decertified" Colombia for military assistance because of its failure to
cooperate with U.S. anti-narcotics policy.
In on-the-record interviews, several officers with
longtime experience in Colombia said the human rights records of the Colombian
units trained by special forces in these exercises are not evaluated because
it would interfere with the unit's ability to work together. Asked about
the training, Defense officials initially said -- correctly -- that they
are not legally required to vet the units. In subsequent interviews, however,
they said such vetting does take place.

Subject: The Australia/Israel Review list and Jetset Travel
Dear One Nation supporter in Queensland,
It should be noted by One Nation supporters that the man behind the
Australia/Israel Review, Mr Leibler, is one of the men behind Jetset Travel.
When booking your next holiday trip I would ask you to consider what Leibler's
views are on the publication of the list of the names and Suburbs of 2000
One Nation members and donors in the Australia/Israel Review.
Mr Leibler said the decision to publish the list of members and donors was
in the interests of "political transparency". He said concerns about privacy
had been met by not publishing full addresses and telephone numbers.
What Leibler failed to mention is that they published the suburbs that members
live in. Many One Nation members had phone calls from the media - contacts
made directly through the list published by the Australia/Israel Review.
The Australia/Israel Review has since shelved plans to publish the names
of One Nation's remaining 8,000 members. Mr Leibler said: "We feel we have
made our point."
Perhaps it is time for One Nation supporters to make their point?

Scott,
How about a list of all companies on your web site
that are anti ON?
These can be called "Companies Against Australian
Democracy".
My own belief is that the threat of economic boycott
is likely to be an effective weapon to retaliate against the Lieblers of
this world.
And Qantas for that matter as well. Ansett would be
delighted to carry passengers who are put off QF by their ban on the
news.
You could also add the ethnoparasite Peter Dowdings
law firm that to the list. Dowding is milking the aborindustry for all it
can.
I'm sure that your list will soon grow!

Subject: The Leibler Files
I will keep this message brief, but I am emailing you
to express my concern over Mr Leibler's recent actions concerning the publishing
of some 2,000 One Nation members in The Australia/Israel Review.
The fact that Australia's major news sources have been
painting One Nation as racist, and flaring the anger of misguided Australians
everywhere is bad enough, but to open encourage the prosecution of One Nation
members through such actions in unforgivable.
Neither myself nor my family will be using JetSet services
in the near future, and I will advice my friends to do the same.
Yours sincerely...

Subject: The Leibler Files
Dear Mr. Leibler,
As a proud Australian and a supporter of One Nation,
I must say I am appalled at you/your organisations actions re. the publishing
of the names of One Nation members.
I have a lot of friends in the Jewish community who
have taught me about their culture and how Jews through history have struggled
against oppression due to their beliefs.
While I do not vote for One Nation (yet), I support
the push for certain reforms in this country, many of which seem to be the
concerns of the majority of the community.
While One Nation are incorrectly (in my view) considered
radical and racist by certain sectors of the community, your actions are
far more extremist forms of bigotry.
As an influential businessman, I can assure you that
I will be turning people away from Jetset Travel from now on. I will also
encourage my associates, to encourage their associates, to bypass Jetset
Travel from now on.
I will be monitoring the growth of my anti-Jetset network
with pride.
In my humble opinion, you are a disgrace to the Jewish
community.

The Australia/Israel Review list and Jetset
Travel
Dear "One Nation" internet corespondent,
I have sent my letter of complaint to the jetset travel
addy. In sort I was most distressed by the actions of "Australia/Israel Review,
Mr Leibler" as these actions seem to be "NAZI" like in approach. I didn't
think this was possible coming from a Jewish journalist paper.
I have been looking through the ON structure and i
agree with the organisation plan to remain non democratic in its organisational
structure and to concentrate on democratic reforms amongst its constituent
representatives. I agree there would other wise be a large number of people
that would join ON to directly destroy the party. I think historically this
has been seen to be the case with other parties. This is also a misuse of
democratic principles when people use memberships in this way.
Thankyou for the e-mail. I hope the web page forum
gets up and running again other wise a e-mail list discussion group would
be a lot of fun. Please keep me informed.

Morals
Mr Leibler
Dear Sir
What right do you consider justifies your intrusion
into the life and liberty of some 1800 Australian's. Not One Nation, Liberal
or Labour Supporters Australians
Under a democratic society you are guaranteed the right
to free speech and belief. You are not guaranteed the right to Question the
beliefs of others, just like you are not given the right to question their
religion.
If the Australian's you named disagree with some warped
view of the world held by you; what right justifies your vilianisation of
these people?
I may not agree with either Pauline Hanson or her Party
Policies but I'll defend her right to free speech and thought. Just as I
would defend you right to free speech and thought, but not your right to
impinge on the rights of others guaranteed under a democratic society because
it does not fit your philosophy.
I am disgusted in your action by your obvious use of
the Victimisation of the Jewish People to justify your own flagwaving. Sir
you are an Australian First and Foremost because you or your parents chose
to live in Australia to do business and raise families here.
If you are not an Australian then you have no right
or justification for your actions and I hold you in the same contempt as
the Long Haired Idiots in to-nights news attacking Pauline Hanson's car.

Subject: Leibler
I think he has a nerve responding like that. In a
democratic society we all have the right to put a point of view without the
sort of aggravation that Leibler has given One Nation supporters. I don't
support all that One Nation stands for but it has a perfect right to put
its point of view. If people don't like it they can reply in letters to papers,
radio talk back and so on. Nobody has the right to stifle debate with the
tactics Leibler used. I don't think David Irving should have been prevented
from coming to Australia even though his views are anathema to me. But if
he ever does come out here and says anything I don't like I'll show him no
mercy.

Subject: reply to the listing publication
I think that the cartoon of Zanetti in the SMH of last
Tuesday (I am not sure of the day) comparing the jews action with the Nazi
actions speaks a trillion words.
I suggest that One Nation asks permission to Zanetti
to publish the cartoon on the web
Open letter to Mark Leibler.
Dear Mr Leibler
I am writing to express my disgust for your action
in publishing the names of 2000 One Nation Party members without their consent.
Such an action is un-Australian.
You seem to have forgotten that in Australia, people's
political allegiances have traditionally been regarded as private unless
they choose to disclose them. (Are you aware that Australia invented the
secret ballot?). You have treated this tradition with contempt. You have
even exposed your fellow Australians to the distinct possibility of violent
reprisals from intimidating, McCarthyist bullies such as yourself. (Already
one supporter has asked to be removed from a pro-Hanson list fearing
intimidation. But you have gained nothing by this action - he'll still vote
for One Nation!). You also seem to have forgotten that One Nation is a legitimate
Australian political party. You seem to have forgotten that Australia is
still a democracy.
You would do well to remember that at the height of
the communist hysteria, Australians rejected a referendum to ban the Communist
Party, though the majority of Australians detested communism. In a similar
spirit I am sure they will find your action totally repulsive, totally
un-Australian. You have miscalculated badly. And you have brought Jews into
disrepute.
I am sure that you have done One Nation a great big
favour. As a result of your disgraceful action thousands more people will
flock to One Nation. And you will be seen to be a hypocrite. For in publishing
such a list you have done the very thing Jews have always protested about
- labelling people, ascribing a set of attributes to people because of their
group, and bullying them.
I strongly defend Pauline Hanson's right to speak her
mind and to found a political party. One Nation's success clearly demonstrates
that there has been a big void in the Australian political scene for the
past 15 or so years. By a fluke of history, Australians now have a chance
to force governments to listen to them. You have swallowed too much propaganda
if you believe that ON supporters are all 'worried', 'anxious', 'fearful
of change', hurting', 'racist', 'misguided', 'rednecks', 'losers' etc.
They describe themselves as 'fed up', which expresses
a very different sentiment. Primarily they are patriots who don't want to
see Australia sold out from under them. The charge of 'racism' is a smokescreen
thrown up by a desperate government and opposition along with all the self-styled
'elites'. It is too contemptible to even consider answering.
Since when has it been morally suspect to hold an opposing
political point of view? Your arrogance is stunning.
Yours sincerely
(Mrs) Antonia Feitz

Herr Liebler - Heil!
I am a strong supporter of Pauline Hanson's One Nation

That someone would do a despicable thing like publishing
private citizens' names and locations is not surprising when it comes to
the NWO's bag of dirty tricks. But how did these people get to have the full
list of One Nation's 8,000 members? Does One Nation have a "fifth columnist"
among your leaders? In other words, an enemy within?
It seems to me that a thorough house cleaning is in
order, starting at the top, not just a call for grassroots protests.

Subject: Leibler's list
Dear Scott,
I heard a very interesting comparison to this list
and that is was no different to lists the Nazi's had put forward to prosecute
the Jews. They obviously deny this, but I thought the comparison was interesting.
If this list is not to prosecute members of One Nation, what other reason
do they have to print it?

Mr. Leibler
Dear Sir.,
In the interests of "political transparency" I now
expect that you will publish in the Australia/Israel Review a list of at
least 2000 members of the Australian Branch of the Jewish XXX
Organization.
Your failure to do so will expose your political
duplicity.
Kindest regards.

Subject: Welcome back
Hi Scott,
Welcome back on line. The hypocrisy of the Mag that
published ON's member lists!! I understand (doesn't everyone, to the n'th
degree) that the Jews have been persecuted; they should be sympathetic to
individual rights of people to belong to a political party as well as a fair
representation of the party's political views. Shame on
Liebler!!!
Having just seen the Channel 9's Sunday Show, I was
surprised and delighted to find that they seem to have presented the story
(evidence of blatant media bias towards Pauline & ON, and suppression
of debate on anything seen as "racist")
David O in particular came over well, although I think
he always does.
I didn't understand the point of having John Pasquarelli
sacked back in 1996. He seems a sensible down to earth fellow. Maybe it was
that he was not considered the best person to take ON on from the small start
to the greater things that it is achieving today.
A point about the "secrecy" of the running of the Party.
I firmly believe that the disciplined way it is being run is absolutely essential
to maintain the party's integrity. It would be far too easy for experienced
political operators to put a mole in a high position, and "white ant" the
whole show. It is a pity the branch members concerned enough to bag the party,
& threaten to resign etc etc cannot see this.
I still don't understand why people who have supposedly
100% behind the party and its aims can get the hump enough to run to the
media if they don't get their own way. Small minds and large egos' I expect.
Can't they see or don't they care that they could be damaging the party.
Pauline Power!
All the best

Subject: My family's future travel needs.
It is with regret that I wish to inform you that I
and my family and our friends and associates will in future not use Jetset
Travel to meet our travel needs.
Your Mr Leibler, who apparently is also behind the
Australia/Israel Review, must take responsibility for our decision not to
use Jetset, for it was his decision to publish the names of some of our friends
without their permission in his lousy newspaper. This irresponsible decision
on his part has caused anxiety amongst many decent Australians who have since
received nuisance calls. These are my friends and I will stand by
them.
Mr Leibler may not care that some of the people harassed
as a result of his actions are themselves very caring people, some of whom
are social and voluntary workers, who regularly give of their time to assist
the needy in our community.
My personal efforts at voluntary work in assisting
the needy extends to South Africa and goes back almost 30 years. Together
with my colleagues in Anglo American Corporation, under the chairmanship
of Mr Harry Oppenheimer, we did a lot for the underprivileged in South Africa
for no political or financial gain.
Perhaps Mr Leibler should buy himself a stepladder.
From where he is presently standing he obviously cannot see the damage caused
by his actions and may need divine guidance to elevate his views and
principles.

Dear Sir,
It is with deep regret I read of what you did. It takes
me back to the last war when we learnt about the atrocities perpetrated on
the Jewish people by the Nazis.
I still can't understand mans inhumanity to man.
I would have hoped you of all people would understand
Democracy at work, and the reason why free speech is so important in a democracy.
It seems to me it comes back to the same old thing, power over the masses
and you it appears are a big part of that, being used as a stooge by the
Liberals in their bid to squash ms Hansons party.
You should remember what you left and what you have
now in this Democratic country. You can have your say, but you had no right
to publish any Australians name in your biased paper. That is what I call
RACIST.
My family will not in future use your facilities for
travel in Australia, or outside of our wonderful country.
I am not a member of One Nation but a concerned Australian.
It is not One Nation that is racist it is the powerbrokers of the two major
parties and people like you behind them, lending your name and money to
wipe out someone who has hit the nail on the head, someone who has recognised
the problems in our society, someone who has the guts to stand up and say
what a lot of ordinary Australians are thinking. If you covet what you have
in this country, then think for yourself, dont be led into something just
for the sake of power. Remember, IT IS NOT THE LOVE OF POWER, BUT THE POWER
OF LOVE that will win in the end. FREE WILL is the entitlement of everyone,
not just the chosen few.

Dear Sir, Would you please advise me on how One Nation

An idea for you, offer to all One Nation supported
the option of using a 1990s "alternative or coded name".
Have this new name placed on the mailing list and the
real name to be encrypted in your data files so that only trusted people

heavily on infrastructure in the said concern that you don't in fact own
anymore?
With regard to his repeated statements to the effect
that the resulting corporate entity would be bound by "standard of service"

this legislation unlawful?

"Some surprising admissions of bias come from some

us something we don't know!
I'm waiting for the transcript of this story, to see
which journalists confessed their sins. I think a confession to the Press
Council would have been more appropriate.

The other 25% must be complete morons.

Pauline Hanson and the Media Reporter: Ross Coulthart
Producer: Peter Hiscock
Has media coverage of Pauline Hanson been biased? And
have we in the media, in our enthusiasm to expose the dark side of "Hansonism"
many suspect is there, subverted the few remaining threads of credibility
we have with the Australian public?
In a bid to expose the dark side of Hansonism, has
the media been biased? Has it lost credibility?
In a week where the One Nation leader turfed a newspaper
journalist and photographer out of her office for alleged biased reporting,
it’s appropriate to take a long, hard look at whether her claims of
bias have any foundation. This week on the "Sunday" program, Reporter Ross
Coulthart makes the confronting analysis that – yes – in many cases
the media’s zeal to do the hatchet job on a political party it sees
as implicitly racist and divisive, has been excessive.
Sunday turns a critic's eye on some of the stories
it and Channel 9 has broadcast on Hanson...
"Sunday" also turns a critic’s eye on some of
the stories it and the Nine Network has broadcast on the fiery Independent
member for Oxley. The program asks some of Australia’s top political
reporters whether they’ve been biased and gets some surprising admissions.
We also respond to the even more confronting charge from the media’s
critics: that irresponsible media coverage of Hanson and her policies has,
in fact, helped her rise in the polls.
Some surprising admissions of bias come from some of
Australia's top political reporters...
This is an in-depth and revealing probe into how the
media pack played into the hands of One Nation – our transcript will
be available right here on Monday morning. You can also take a look at Pauline's
own message to Sunday - signed for Sunday during the filming of this

Comments on Australian
News of the Day
Hi Scott,
I was also intrigued by Cheryl Kernot's reference in
the "Current Affair" talk fest:
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.
How were these figures obtained? There are 3 primary ways;
-
1 She made the statistics up to belittle the ON party
or men, Mmmm,
-
2 They (Government) have a way of telling how a person
voted (yikes, perish the thought), or
-
3 It is the result of an exit poll.
Of the three, I would like to believe it was an exit
poll. The problem is if it were an exit poll, which booths were polled, how
large a sample was taken, over what time frame was the poll taken, was the
sample representative (of the sexes, male and female), and did those polled
tell the truth? Is she (CK) placing her reputation on the banana skin of
an exit poll, or was it a case of engaging the mouth before the brain?
Looking at each problem separately and in a bit more
detail;
which booths were polled - Within any electorate there
are a number of locations one can place a vote. Subsequently one booth may
have a higher male or female vote cast, simply because it's next to or near
a Sporting field, hotel, shopping center, or whatever. Therefore, it is possible
for one booth to have a higher male or female voter turnout.
how large a sample was taken - Was the sample taken
10, 100 or 1000. If it were 10 or 100 this may not indicate a trend unless
you were looking for a particular result, and stopped when you got the result
that suited your needs.
over what time frame was the poll taken - Was the poll
taken early when the booth opened catching a group voting on the way to work,
or late catching the "woops, I almost forgot to vote" crowd? Once again during
certain times in the day there are sometimes swings of male or female voters
due to work, household and other circumstances.
was the sample representative of the sexes, male and
female - Or did the group conducting the exit poll ask primarily male voters
upon exit, once again to achieve a desired result?
and did those polled tell the truth - It was clearly
demonstrated in the polls leading to the election that ON would poll about
a third of what it actually did get. Why? Could it be that there are many
closet ON voters, and if so would this trend continue to the exit poll?
Thanks for listening

Subject: Putting One Nation Last
Dear Sir,
If you put One Nation last on Liberal how-to-vote cards
it will only confirm everything that we ever thought about you and your Coalition
cronies. You are not acting in the best interests of Australia and Australians
but are merely doing as you are told to do by the IMF, UN, OECD, USA,
Rockefellers and Rothschilds but not necessarily in that order. What a terrible
shame, what a curse it must be for your offspring or do you lie to them too
?
Yours Sadly,

Subject: Telstra
Wasn't it great that Senator Colston gave the boot
to Howard's plan to sell off the rest of Telstra. And haven't the Nats been
shown up to be gutless wonders in supporting Howard. Surely they could not
have been so stupid as to be taken in by his bribe? Why should the delivery
of essential services to the bush rely on selling off Australian assets?
On the radio this morning Bob Katter said it's high
time people in Canberra stopped thinking that the Australian people are 'wrong'
whenever they object to a policy. He said Canberra had better start listening
to the people instead of lecturing them. Right on, Bob.
For too long now politicians seem to have forgotten
that Australians elect representatives, not masters, and especially not leaders.
A political party may have a 'leader', but the Australian people don't have
a leader. The Prime Minister leads his government, not the Australian
people.

DIRECT IMPLICATION INTO:::
La Rochelle Sunday 12th of July 1998
Dear Omega.
I have well received your message and I thank you for
your advice. I will therefore post my messages on Aus.Politics and on every
other Aus.News.Groups.
I am also glad to know that you have repercuted those
to your friends in Australia.
I have coined a word sometimes back referring to the
"Court Dynasty of Corruption" and to Richard Court and I have told some friends
about it. I call these people the "BUSS" boys and they are unable
to understand the turmoil of those like prospectors or farmers or miners
etc. all those who are the living forces of Australian and are fighting hard
to make a living while the "buss boys" can sail through live without bothering
at all with usurer incomes. The Parliament of poor Western Australia is full
of "buss boys" and the other categories of people are as rare as primary
rocks windows in the Nullabor plain (This is a very personal cunning
hint).
And so, what are the "BUSS BOYS" ? In fact "BUSS" is
the acronym for "Brought Up [with a] Silver Spoon", and in my humble opinion
it applies to many MPs in Western Australia . In my view, prospectors, miners,
farmers, fitters should run for politics and I hope the President of Australian
Prospectors Bob Sheppard will stand at the next Western Australian Elections
to defend the rights of prospectors, right from inside the House of Parliament
. I say here that if I could, I would VOTE for him.
What Hercules can you call at the rescue to clear these
New Augias Stables which has become the Western Australian Parliament (and
may be some other State Parliaments) of these heartless type of PROFESSIONAL
representatives, clinging to their status of importance and their position
of power and remaining in place from term to term against all high seas and
high tides. Do they care about all the prospectors who made what Australia
has become, especially about all those who perished in sheer misery after
a whole life of research without any find of value ? I have met many of these
old timers living on close to nothing in the bush after a whole life of hard
work; I wish to quote here two of these great people's names I personally
knew: Billy Mill & Billy Green of Marble Bar. I used to bring them a
kangaroo each time I came out of the bush and I consider that it has been
an honour in my life to have been invited to their table.
Since I am going to be check out again (second time)
of a provider due to numerous complaints (close to a hundred i.e. about 1%)
from Australia because of the content of my mailing, as said previously,
you can contact me at my falling back address welleda@altern.com and next
week I will inform you of a new working address with a new provider.
I will not let go; I want the FINANCIAL CRIMINALS of
Newmont/Newcrest & B.H.P to be put down the hole for 20 years and especially
make restitution of their approx 10 Billions of Dollars bounty to the thousands
of Oz, US, NZ, Briton, Italian, Swiss, Japanese Narla Minerals NL & Day
Dawn LTD fleeced shareholders. The information about "The Greatest Australian
Mining Covered Up Swindle of the 20th Century"(part I; II; & III) is
now posted to Italy and Switzerland, I am sure some of the true legal owners
of "Telfer Mine", holders of Narla and Day Dawn shares will very soon come
up to surface to claim their due from the FINANCIAL CRIMINALS and from the
successive Western Australian and Australian Governments who COVERED UP these
HIDEOUS CRIMES.

Subject: Petition against putting One Nation
Last.
I used to be a Liberal supporter but not anymore. The
phrase "Honest John" has hit me as the biggest lie of all. As an example
"Never ever" I would have thought meant never. Not for as long as convenient
for Mr. Howard. I don't care if he puts One Nation last. I am capable of
working out my own preferences and if Mr. Howard's wants to put One Nation
last then I will do the opposite and put the Liberals last instead and the
media bias won't change that.

Another perfect day in paradise.
Have a good one.
