Between the One Nation lines
Yesterday the payment of Au$500,000 to One Nation candidates was frozen because
of the highly politicised action of two disendorsed candidates.
The payment will be held in a bank account by Electoral Commissioner Des
O'Shea until the case goes to trial in March next year.
Just Another Attack on Pauline Hanson's One
Nation
"Since its beginning Pauline Hanson's One Nation has
suffered attacks of all kinds from all quarters, each has been defeated for
there was never a basis in fact. This most recent attack is no
different.
Pauline Hanson's One Nation is a properly registered
Political Party - there is in fact no true case to answer. It should be
understood that Mr Terry Sharples, the main person involved in this action,
was perfectly happy with our structure, and happy to be our candidate prior
to the state election - this point in itself raises questions over his
motives.
The Electoral Commissioner, Des O'Shea, has time and
time again made it clear our organisation is properly registered and has
dismissed all allegations to the contrary.
This unfortunate action taken against Pauline Hanson's
One Nation is vexatious and without substance and will be proven as such
through the courts.
The only consequence of this action is that Pauline
Hanson's One Nation Candidates from the Queensland State election are being
obstructed from receiving their funding entitlement to cover their election
expenses.
These monies are reasonably expected by our candidates
in the state election and are paid in respect of genuine election expenses
as proven by receipt. There is no profit and none of this money has any
relationship to campaign funds for the coming federal election.
There is suspicion as to who is really behind this
current action and certainly the nearly 500,000 Queenslanders who voted for
Pauline Hanson's One Nation would not support this unsustainable and
un-Australian attack on a legitimately registered organisation.
Whilst we look forward to having our day in court this
attack is unprecedented and typical of the unfair behaviour shown towards
One Nation. This will be a costly exercise for us but ultimately a more costly
exercise for those who have brought this disgraceful action against us."
Statement issued on behalf of Pauline Hanson's One
Nation.
Facing the Resistance inspired students
Today I will face the students wagging school. The students are being urged
not to attend the so-called "rally against racism" - a rally being organised
by the Democratic
Socialist Party's youth arm Resistance.
I intend to cover the event while wearing my One Nation t-shirt, making it
quite clear which side of the fence that I stand on.
The Queensland protest organiser, when quizzed on Channel 7's Today
Tonight, admitted that she had not even seen a "Resistance" press release
which carried her name and had no idea what was said on the document.
A One Nation State MP, Shaun Nelson, had this to say, "Putting children into
the line of fire, into where there's going to be a sea of hatred and violence
outsidew Parliament House is child abuse. These Communists need to answer
for their actions by organising these protests."
The protests have been timed to disrupt the swearing in of eleven One Nation
MPs at Parliament today. Pauline Hanson is expected to attend.

Hayson Group of Companies deny allegations of criminal
activity
More
information on the Darling Harbour scandal can be found here.
Here is another Media Monitor transcript from 25th March 1994:
The Hayson Group of Companies has declined to comment
on the record on this morning's disclosures about the Darling Harbour
development. An ABC investigation has uncovered evidence of extraordinary
business dealings, grossly exaggerated claims and harrassment by companies
linked to the shopping and entertainment complex.
Police Minister Terry Griffiths says he is concerned
by the allegations and says any documents handed over to state authorities
will be investigated.
The great mining scandal
Here is an extract:
THE MOST FAMOUS
NARLA MINERAL NL. ANNUAL
REPORT. Photocopy of a non-existent document from a mining company which
pegged 21 claims on the eye of the Paterson Range Mineral Deposit (1100 square
km) now Telfer Gold Mine, the largest Gold Mine of Australia.These 21 claims
were pegged under recommendation of geologist Philipp Koehn of Day Dawn.
(from the Narla/Day-Dawn/Newmont/BHP) joint venture. The mere existence of
that company is denied by the Newmont/Newcrest - BHP criminal cartel now,
in their Official Falsified Account of the History of the Telfer Gold Mine
and of its discovery; namelly the "DESERT GOLD" book . n pages
This document demonstrates how a mining companies scuttle themselves Narla
and Day Dawn ) without any consideration for their poor unaware shareholders
in what is the "GREATEST AUSTRALIAN MINING COVERED UP SWINDLE OF THE 20TH
CENTURY" . At this point of time some 10 billions$ could be owned by the
FINANCIAL CRIMINALS to the former shareholders of Narla & Day Dawn as
well as to their heirs and descent. This most heinous FINANCIAL CRIME has
been covered up for more than a quarter of a Century by the corrupt and coward
West Australian political class (apart some very rare MPs reminding that
the Solemnly Promised Royal Inquiry had to be convened) and also by FELON
KNIGHTS, who indeed brought a permanent undelible stain on HER MAJESTY'S
HONOUR TITLE.

Subject: So sad
Scott,
I have to speak of my amazement that the Federal Government
have stated that they will not speak out about whether or not the school
kids should take part in a rally and march organised by the Socialist resistance
movement. I think it is tantamount to giving them a green light to expose
themselves to an organisation of Anarchists who are part of a world wide
dissident group who are always there ,white-anting Democracy and freedom
of speach and feeding lies and discontent to the vulnerable , young and unwary,
such as students who have absolutely no experience and in a lot of cases
not enough maturity to reason with a dilemma of this nature. The older ones
parents will be familiar with the threat of socialisam and I will add Communism
because they are not too far apart.And they should remember the troubles
that these groups have brought on peoples all over the world.
I suspect that during the march the more forward students
will be singled out for more on the spot brainwashing and tales of wonder
by the organisers and they will be made to feel important and informed that
they are natural leaders etc..
I just hope that I am right in thinking that our Australian
youth whether born here or overseas will be smarter than to be conned by
these losers.
THEY WILL NOT BE MARCHING AGAINST PAULINE HANSON'S
ONE NATION PARTY OR ANY OF THIS RACEIST RUBBISH, THEY WILL BE MARCHING FOR
THE SOCIALIST RESISTANCE MOVEMENT AGAINST DEMOCRACY AND THEIR OWN
FUTURE.
One other thing if I may go on a little longer. This
worm person, Sharples or Sharpy or whatever, I don't remember and I don't
want to.who I have heard is allegedly working on behalf of the Laboral Party
was out smarted in court today by far better people than he. I also heard
that One Nation were able to have this cooked up charge against them regarding
non-registration of the Party posponed till next year to allow the One Nation
sitting members to carry out their work in their new jobs without being
pre-occupied with distractions of this sort. The good Lord knows that they
are not just on a learning curve but they are up against a lot of desperate
people who are in danger of being exposed and losing their Gold Privilages
and fine un-deserved lifestyle,and they will be fighting boots and all to
damage O.N. members and the Party.
Anyway, what it all means , is that also the re-imbursment
of funds to One Nation for Votes won has been delayed and the good people
who stood for election are out of pocket. I am guessing but I'm probably
right in saying that most of these candidates are just people much like you
and I and they have expenses and budgets to stick to and house and car payments
to meet and Kids to look after and so on just like you and I. I'd like to
suggest that someone , maybe you Scott or someone From the fund raising dept.
set up a special address or whatever where we supporters of One Nation can
send Donations to help carry the Party through this lean time till the case
is settled in the new year . If this is not the right thing to do or if there
is some reason why this can't be done, then I think that we should join the
Party if we haven't done so already or alternately make an extra donation
so the Party can help those that are feeling the pinch and need help for
their efforts. ON,ON, PAULINE AND CO.

Resistance
protests
I think it a very sad day when school teachers and
their associated head masters send our children on to the street to stand
up for the beliefs of their minority ignorant headmaster(s). Such tactics
where used in the war when children where used as cannon fodder to buffer
the full impact of bullets,shrapnel and associate war weaponry. Are these
headmasters and so called school teachers that gutless, that they stand behind
the children waiting to see what riots or clashes the children will start
on their behalf ? Would these same headmasters and school teacher take full
responsibly for any injury or clashes incurred on the children while marching
on their behalf ? I think NOT!. In my honest opinion : teachers should very
certainly stay out of politics, and stick to teaching. I personal don't recommend
teachers entice students to march into the streets on behalf of the headmasters
obvious ignorance to the true facts of OneNation.
Keep the children safely in the school grounds were
they where put by their parents. May I suggest STRONGLY to the school authority
that you first seek 'parental consent' before sending our children marching
into the streets on behalf of your ignorant politically motivated
campaigns.

My parents near Echuca told me that there were only
two local aborigines protesting at the One Nation meeting. The remaining
all came in from Mildura. I myself, married to an Asian, suffer condemnation
(as well as accusations of racism) and personal damage to property because
I debate openly the benefits of One Nation. I'll never give up. Australia
needs One Nation!

Historical Aspects
of Democracy in Australia
It would appear from the above article (if true) that
our politicians are up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
This would have to be classed as the con of the century.
The fact that our politicians could keep such a thing from the public for
80 years is nothing short of amazing but it would explain many things such
as why they were so reluctant to have referendums and why the Queen kept
telling the Australian people that she would not interfere in governing of
another country when the furore over the gun laws was in full swing.
Another worrying thought is,if the Governor-General
and the State Governors had no authority then no law passed in the last 80
years is valid because they are the ones that sign the docket as it
were.
If, as has been suggested the parties perpetrated this
con for the sole purpose of remaining in power, then shooting them would
be too good for them.

Subject: taxes on families
All concerned Australians should read Lucy Sullivan's
damning indictment of Australia's tax rip-off of families, courtesy of policies
from Hawke onwards (http://www.cis.org.au).
In 1960 virtually NO tax was paid by a breadwinner
until he earned 150% of AWE (average weekly earnings). Today there is no
difference in the tax paid by a single earner and a breadwinner with a wife
and three children to support. The tax system today gives no recognition
to the costs of rearing children. As well in 1960, the top marginal rate
came in at 14 times AWE. In 1997 it cut in at 1.4 times!
Sullivan writes: "net family income fails to rise with
increased earnings across the range from 50% to 120% of AWE. All families
with three teenage children in this range end up with somewhere around $33,000
pa, although the actual earnings at 50% AWE are $18,000 p.a. and at 120%
AWE are $43,000 p.a". In other words there is no reward for effort and promotion
in this range.
The tax and welfare systems combine to compress family
income. Average weekly earnings ($36,000) are reduced to an income level
similar to that of families earning only 50% AWE which is raised by welfare
to almost $34,000. Sullivan says: "if indeed families at the lower end of
the income scale are living in poverty, then average-income employed families
are equally poor. This would lead to the conclusion that the MARORITY of
Australian families, largely by the action of a tax system which reduces
their incomes to welfare levels, are also unable to provide basic living
standards for their families with one parent in employment. They would serve
their families just as well, in terms of income, if they worked half-time,
or not at all".
Families only escape this tax-welfare trap once they
earn over $45,000. Sullivan is scathing of a GST, saying it will do nothing
to improve the lot of families. For the life of me I fail to see how taxing
bread and milk, haircuts and visits to the doctor let alone the odd treat
of a Chinese meal or a movie will benefit families. And when I think the
well-off will get their Porsches cheaper I'm even less impressed. The US,
supposedly a dynamic economy, dosn't have a GST. The very fact that big business
favours its introduction also makes me suspicious.

Subject: Higher Migration = More Jobs?
Maybe someone should teach basic maths to the morons
who believe that their research 'proves' that high migration creates jobs!(refer
attached story)
They say that one new job is created with every ten
migrants, but this doesn't mean 9 more unemployed because more than a third
don't look for a job (ie they go straight onto a pension, and increase our
taxes).
If you ignore the drain on the pension, and if you
believe their figures, then every ten migrants results in one new job, and
6 new workers looking for jobs. Primary school maths indicates that the result
is five extra unemployed!
These academics usually try to push for higher immigration
using their "pyramid selling" theories - migrants increase demand which creates
more jobs. The trouble is, they forget that there is already more than enough
demand for goods and services in Australia, but there isn't enough income
streams to service that demand.
Higher migration will increase demand - the demand
for work, the demand for welfare, and the demand for increased migration
to create even more "demand".
Eventually, like all pyramid schemes, the system collapses
and it is a disaster for everybody.
Gweilo (see article below)
More migrants, more jobs for us all, say
academics
By DIANE STOTT in Canberra
Australians looking for work should pressure the Government
to increase the number of migrants, says a new study.
Rather than "stealing" jobs from locals, migrants boosted
prospects for the unemployed, said the director of the Centre for Economic
Policy at the Australian National University, Professor Bruce Chapman.
Professor Chapman and Dr Deborah Cobb-Clark co-authored
the research into the effect on jobs of immigration in the past 20
years.
Their unpublished study shows that the chances of locals
getting work are even better during periods of high unemployment, as Australia
now has.
"For all the evidence, the unemployed are better off,
if they want a job, with more migrants coming," Professor Chapman said.
People wrongly focused on the need of migrants to find
work, assuming that they took jobs that would have otherwise gone to local
unemployed. But they failed to recognise that migrants generated more jobs
than they took.
"While they do find jobs, in general the extent of
immigrant expenditure is enough that they are net job creators," Professor
Chapman said.
On average, each migrant brought $15,000 to Australia,
and another $5,000 after arriving. This spending created at least one extra
job for every 10 migrants.
And with less than two-thirds of migrants competing
for jobs, this meant plenty of work available for those already here.
The study comes after the Prime Minister told Chinese
business people in Perth at the weekend that his immigration policy would
remain non-discriminatory.
Alluding to One Nation, Mr Howard said some people
had been fostering racial tensions, but he believed most Australians held
such attitudes in contempt.
One Nation has a policy of zero net immigration and
refers to high unemployment as a reason to slash the intake.
Professor Chapman said: "Some politicians say that
unemployed Australians are hurt by immigration, that they're stealing their
jobs, but the evidence says exactly the opposite." Meanwhile, One Nation
is likely to be placed last on most Liberal how-to-vote cards at the Federal
election after the West Australian Premier, Mr Court, said yesterday it could
not expect any help from his party.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Sergio
Medina for his honesty about ethnic manipulation, the expression of his deeply
felt democratic sentiments, and his tribute to Australia. He has recognized
the truth about this country. We don't care where you've come from. If you
are here and cherish our culture of "Democracy ,freedom of speach,and a fair
go for everyone", you are welcome. You can enrich us with your singing and
dancing and cooking, and in return you have the privilege of becoming Australians
- the same as us. No better, no worse, just Australian.
In his sentiments Sergio Medina is true blue as far
as I am concerned.
Antonia Feitz
Ps. Sergio, despite my un-Australian name I'm also
true blue. Some of my ancestors came because of the Irish Famine. Some because
they were, ahem, sent. Some because they were adventurous like you. Who cares.
We're all Australian and proud of it.
Subject: Re: Criticism by Cretins.
I know I probably do not have to remind you of this,
but when Mrs. Hanson or One Nation is derided by the likes of Howard, Beazley,
Keating and the Media etc., there are, at the very least, 400,000 Queenslanders
on her side who deeply appreciate her efforts.

Subject: Federal election and a fair
system
I was of the opinion that our system of government
and thus our system of election was a fair one. The hype from the media,
and the comments made by elected officials from all parties, smells of
backhandedness, corruption, secret deals and outright lies to the
public.
The accountability of the so-called "government" has
slipped dramatically. No longer are parties serving the people, but, like
any bureaucratic office, they are further and further pursuing their own
ends and hip pockets!
The system is being rorted and the public are being
led around like sheep. A fairer ballot system is a priority, and the petty
"sooking" by losers which ends up in court with recounts - has to stop.
First-past-the-post is the fairest determination of a winner, so why all
this preferential garbage and petty bickering and bribing with
preferences.
The order of party names should be RANDOMLY placed
on all forms and printed material, and the winner is the bloke with the most
votes - how much more bloody simpler can I put it!

THAT THIS WILL SHOW RACIST PAULINE HANSON AND HER ONE NATION PARTY THAT ASIANS

>This is an open letter to all Asians in Australia,
whether citizens, immigrants, or visitors. Pauline Hanson, a small-town
woman with a small-town mind, a woman reminiscent of savages from the stone
ages, is slowly but surely raising anti-Asian sentiments among white Australians.
White Australia used to have an notorious public image as being a racist
nation, however efforts by the government, given their enlightened realization
that Australia's future is with Asia (and Asians) and that Australia can
no longer remain the far lost son of Europe, have Improved Immigration laws
in recent years and have successfully marketed Australia to Asia as a viable
trading partner. But out of the light does come darkness, Pauline Hanson's
One (White) Nation has surfaced -the beast from the abysmal hell of ignorance
and prejudice. >
I believe Asians in Australia must make a stand.
I'm sure that you love Australia as your home and all the more should Pauline
Hanson and the likes of her be silenced.
I invite you to join in this silent and peaceful
condemnation of Pauline Hanson, the One Nation Party and all that they stand
for. >
