Between the One Nation lines
The political reputations of a Queensland Independent and the minority Labor
Government took an almighty battering yesterday.
A carefully prepared question session on the
Shredding of the Heiner
documents by the One Nation Party was trivialised by the Labor Party
who dodged the questions with non-answers and taking up the time with stupid
Dorothy Dixes like the question to Peter Beattie, "Do you think your trip
to Asia was a success?"
Perhaps we should not be surprised that Labor's most favoured son, Independent
Peter Wellington, sided with them when the serious issue of investigating
the shredding of the documents was supported by the Coalition. If he had
had an ounce of credibility in his political body he would have sided with
the inquiry which would have had major repercussions on the Labor Party.
The move was to get two barristers to investigate the shredding after Labor
was forced to release the 1990 Cabinet documents to get the support of two
independents Wellington and Liz Cunningham to form the minority government
in Queensland.
Coalition opposition Family Services Minister Denver Beanland argued that
the move was "the only sensible course" now that the Cabinet documents had
been made public.
The Premier, Peter Beattie, spat the dummy at One Nation accusing it of
manipulating the issue for political gain. While he does so archivists from
all over the world shake their heads in shame at this little man who makes
much of his integrity - integrity which, under these circumstances would
be on a par of Bill Clinton being left alone with Monica Lewinsky in the
Oval Room (not that he is anywhere near being in the same league).
"How long is this going to go," Beattie said, "This is nothing more than
a political vendetta.. there are no facts to substantiate your case."
But of course there are and when One Nation leader Bill Feldman passed a
letter to journalists the dummy spit by Beattie became a major case
of paranoia when he said, "There will be some legal action," in an attempt
to try to intimidate the journalists who had been handed the material.
Vietnamese gang wars come to Queensland
One of the ugly faces of "multiculturalism" came to the doorstep of many
Queenslanders yesterday when two Vietnamese men were critically injured in
a daylight attack in the backyard of a block of units in Indoorpilly. The
attack in Central Avenue, Indoorpilly took place just two weeks after Police
netted a Au$1 million bounty of uncut heroin from a flat in the block of
units.
Although the Police would not confirm it, it appears the incidents are linked.
In the attack eight men wielding machetes and cleavers set on the other two
after parking their cars in front of the flats - literally cutting them to
pieces as residents in the units frantically rang 000.
A witness said, "A couple of men were running behind the units and there
were weapons being waved everywhere. Things like meat cleavers and machetes,
everybody seemed to have a weapon."
Police made a number of arrests later in the day as one of the car number
plates was recorded and the details handed on. The police found a machete
at the Doolandella address in south western Brisbane.
Meanwhile a Vietnamese spokesman John Vu, from the Vietnamese Community of
Australia, said he was concerned that the Vietnamese community would be unfairly
sighted in the incident.
This just days after it was revealed that Vietnamese from Cabramatta, the
drug capital of Australia, had started handing out free samples of honey
and heroin (or starter kits) to young children at schools in Bundamba, Ipswich
- just ten minutes drive from my office. The Vietnamese thugs are attempting
to set up a new distribution point as their tentacles of drug running spread
across Australia.
This
is what the National Crime Authority report says on Asian Crime:
"Some 80% of the heroin seized in Australia can be
sourced to the Golden Triangle' - that is, to the area in south-east Asia
where Burma, Thailand and Laos meet."
Howard on GST in 1997:
Here
is an extract from the article:
A goods and service tax would not be the magical elixir
to solve the nation's economic problems, Prime Minister John Howard said
yesterday.
In response to the growing number of welfare and business
groups calling for a GST as part of widespread tax reform, Mr Howard warned
there was "a danger in the present atmosphere".

Youth Suicide
Forum
Dear Sir,
I attended the Peoples Forum on Youth Suicide, and
I was dismayed about the lack of advocacy between the minister for family
services and the delegates. He said we are doing this and that for youth
suicide, but numbers are on the rise, especially in remote areas where I
live, so it wasn't working. It would have been good to have a politician
at the workshop, it wasn't that great seeing them come for the cameras and
leave again.
I am a 17 year old student from a station in the Northern
Territory, and I travelled a long way to make a difference. We ended up with
1000 recommendations, and have put them to the policy makers.
I met a One Nation candidate for Riverina at the forum,
I think he was about the only person who was of the political nature attending,
and he was genuine about his cause. As a young person I should see One
Nation as an anti-asian, anti-everything party because of the hype and the
media's mis-representation, but I don't. I would like to say that even
though you
didn't make it to the Youth Suicide Forum, the fact you still
made a personal comment about how you felt about the issue was important,
and I hope if you get the balance of power in the senate, you make the government
think about what they are doing, because it doesn't seem you will cop out
like the Nationals.

American
agression.
You were spot on with your lead article in anotd on
Sunday. They would be the greatest stirrers in the world . I remember when
Henry Kissinger was Secretary of State , he used to visit Africa and we used
to have bets on how long it would be after he left the country before trouble
started . I think a month was the longest .
I agree with you about Iraq and North Korea , That
is nothing short of genocide , and to make innocent children suffer is not
very humane in my opinion . The business with Iraq is an example of the world's
financial leeches wanting to get their greedy paws on Iraq's oil , But Saddam
won't play .
I cannot agree with you though with regards to sanctions
being placed on Australia if we didn't do as we were told . I do not think
there would be "appalling poverty" Australia is self sufficient and although
the standard of living for some may be lowered somewhat , we should survive
. We may even thrive without all those imports !
Finally , there is a question I would like answered
: What are the yanks doing at Pine Gap ???

Subject: Comments on Australian news of the

We are now seeing in Indonesia the terrible consequences
of a defenceless population against a powerful government. We can see how
the government ruled with absolute power under Soeharto's regime and in
particular how the army ruled the provinces with absolute power. They terrorised
the defenceless local communities.
This is the final fate of a defenceless civil population.
This is the reason that some countries have enshrined in their constitution
the right of citizens to be armed. It is not because they like guns it is
because an armed population is the next level of safeguard against a government
which runs out of control. The army would never have been able to destroy
the local population of areas like East Timor if the population had been
armed.
This is why I support One Nation's gun policy. Not
because I have a gun (I don't) but because I feel safer knowing that power
comes through the people, not that power could be used over the people.

Lies, More lies
and damn statistics.
Dear Scott,
whilst searching through some of the sources listed
in Sheehans book, "Among the Barbarians", I did a search of one Journal,
"People and place".
I found a bonanza of information, one section of which
i am attaching for your records.
It appears that surveys of migrants showed they many
believed they should assimilate, but through manipulation by the Labor's
Bolkus and Theophanus, in cahoots with the Ethnic lobbies , meaning the self
elected spokesmen , we got multicultural separatism. I recommend your
readers check these documents , as well as going to the home page and checking
the volumes and subtitles. It also gives an insight Why the forces arrayed
against ON and its "torquemadas" are so red hot to shut everybody up using
the "racist" brand on the forehead. Talk about leaving foxes to guard the
chicken house. The part i found most heartening was that a large proportion
of the migrants believed in assimilation, in direct opposition to their
masters.
Maybe there is hope yet.
Cheers
Ross.
Subject: What is "sovereignty"?
25th August, 1998
The Hon. Tim Fischer, MHR
Parliamentary Leader, National Party,
Deputy Prime Minister & Minister for Trade,
Parliament House,
CANBERRA A.C.T. 2600
Dear Tim,
Our Principals have instructed us to apply to you
for evidence that your minders have drawn your attention to the letter from
G.J.Mackney of Goolmangar which appeared under the heading of "Loss of
sovereignty" in this region's daily newspaper, The Northern Star, today
(Tuesday).
Whilst it is generally accepted that the Australian
Labor Party and the Liberal Party of Australia have very comprehensivcely
embraced the concepts of "Asianization" it is not widely known what stance
the National Party is taking with respect to the eventual basing of the political
and economic bloc's capital in Tokyo Japan. It seems a safe assumption that
G.J.Mackney must be a Returned serviceman.
Are you also able to affirm that the word "sovereignty"
has been included amongst those to be excised from the local political dictionary
on the grounds of it being an archaeic concept that cannot be tolerated in
the new world order to which this nation's major political parties
subscribe?
Sincerely,
J o n M. A x t e n s
Subject: Jewish lobby at it again
A case is being heard before the Equal opportunities
Commission on appeal as follows...
a Melbourne businesswomen wishes to run a Jewish Only
dating agency. That's right folks other races and religions need not apply.
Her lawyers are arguing that assimilation poses a threat to the continuance
of Jewish culture in Australia. Where does one even begin commenting on this
one?!

THE PROTOCOLS
So, Dave, the Z.O.G.s are getting you down, eh? Why
didn't you just post a P.O. Box Number and start flogging The Turner Diaries?
Is a $70 bill a forgery OF something? Take the "Jewish mafioso's" link, and
follow the references. Then you'll know where the Protocols have been derived
from.
And Scott, is your silence on these issue a sign of
tacit agreement, or that you'd rather not seem to play censor?
I do hope it's the second.Only bloody Mal Fraser has
tried to call ON anti-semitic, after all... Nor do I think Daves should (or
ever could) BE censored, but they are a living insult to Ockham's razor.
Subject: Comments on Australian News of the
Day
Here is an interesting question for you Scott. You
charge for use of your archives of ANOTD. Presumably the current government
would like to charge your subscribers GST.
Presumably your subscribers just supply you a credit
card number and they gain access. But you don't know if the person supplying
the number is in Australia or overseas. Do you just assume they may not be
in Australia and not charge GST since your service would effectively be an
export, or do you assume they are in Australia and charge the GST?
If the government were to force you to assume the latter,
what would be to stop you renting space on a machine off-shore and setting
up a foreign company to own and run the operation. You wouldn't even have
leave Australian soil but you've now legitimitely avoided the GST.
Is the GST a secret means to continue the destruction
of Australian business and continue the globalisation push? Is the GST meant
to be the final nail in the coffin of Australian industry? John Howard seems
to have admitted that the internet is a giant loophole for the GST. What
is to stop people ordering all sorts of goods and services over the internet?
Is this the death knell of local travel agents?

Subject: Small Town Politics
The most subtle way to gain possession of a small town,
is to be the sole money lender. Given time, the town will be in a situation
of unpayable debt, and if you foreclose on individuals, quietly, over a long
period, then your game goes mostly unnoticed without too much violence. What
to do with the odd one or two that know your game, so never borrow from you,
but do very well independently, and so might raise suspicions that others
could do the same? There is only one answer is there not? Their independent
means - their homes and crops (specially their oil fields) - have to be destroyed
using some plausible deniable excuse for the destruction; they will then
be forced to borrow from you - game, set and match.
A couple of these "recalcitrants" (to quote one who
would know the game well) have nukes - could be interesting?
Omega
Social:
A new Australian Bureaus of Statistics study on the use of the Internet
has come up with the following interesting facts:
-
1,000,000 homes are connected to the Internet - an increase of 14% in the
3 months since May
-
41% of households connected have an income of over Au$66,000
-
49% of all 18-24 year olds use the Internet
-
34% of all 25-39 year olds use the Internet
-
13.9% of all males use the Internet at home
-
7.5% of all females use the Internet at home
-
There are 400,000 online shoppers - double the number last year
Another perfect day in paradise.
Have a good one.
