Since
October 1995
Between the One Nation lines
Last night I was invited to join Queensland State leader Bill Feldman and
Ken Turner (MP for Thuringowa) for dinner at the Parliamentary dining room
in Brisbane.
In the images below Bill and his wife, myself and Ken Turner (fondly known
as Santa Claus) and a meal fit for a MP served with silver cutlery and
gold-embossed crockery.
During the evening I was able to get Dolly Pratt, Ken Turner and Shaun Nelson
onto the One Nation
discussion forum.
Lots of talk and discussion regarding issues involving the party and the
pranks of the Labor Party who, in the words of Bill Feldman, are resorting
to parliamentary tactics that Beattie promised would not be allowed.
Yesterday, for example, Beattie referred to Coalition leader Borbidge as
a "paedophile" during a heated debate. When Borbidge called for an apology
the Speaker, Labor's Ray Hollis, disputed exactly what Beattie had said,
saying that he had referred to the Coalition supporting paedophiles. When
Borbidge said that Beattie should then apologise to every member of the Coalition
for the slur. Hollis told him to sit down and keep quiet in no uncertain
terms.
The minority Labor Party are supported by Independent Peter Wellington who's
credibility is slipping further and further into the abyss as he sides with
the Labor party on issues which are morally corrupt.
Issues like
Shreddergate - an investigation into which has been effectively "killed"
by his casting vote.
Meanwhile the worst kept secret
in Parliament at the moment is that Paul Trewartha (who resigned from his
position as national secretary and vice-president on Tuesday) apparently
spent yesterday with a journalist from The Courier Mail - reportedly
with the very vocal now anti-One Nation Barbara Hazelton at the meeting.
One does not have to be an Einstein to see what will appear in tomorrow's
Courier Mail - another story about One Nation "falling apart at
the seams". Today's infatuation with Beazley's regressive tax policy
dominated the pages of The Courier Mail so the short 15 centimetre
article headed "Hanson official resigns" can
be seen for what it is - just a teaser for tomorrow's major feature.
And, yes, I am taking bets on this prediction.
Yesterday Paul Trewartha told the media that his reason for resigning was
"very simple - Pauline doesn't support my position - so I thought the honourable
thing was to resign, so she could put someone in there more compatible with
her views".
On Tuesday I referred
to a meeting that I had on One Nation's tax policy. I can
tell you now that the Debit Tax to be announced on Sunday to a gathering
of One Nation candidates in Ipswich follows extensive discussions that we
held. (See pics below taken during selection of the Debit Tax on
Monday.)
Left to right below: Pauline Hanson
between Len Harris and Barry Evans; Fraser Anning, David Ettridge and Tom
King; Brett Hocking, Peter James and Scott Balson.
At the meeting Pauline Hanson decided, in light of promised major funding
support for promoting the tax and the continuing
negative publicity
orchestrated by the mainstream media about the party director (David
Ettridge's) commission on donations to establish a trust that Ms Hanson and
her State officials will control. The trust will be used to promote the Debit
Tax in the lead up to the Federal election.
"Certain media reports have caused David Ettridge in particular to be seen,
quite wrongly, as being involved in the past in financial dealings which
have caused a loss of confidence," Mr James said.
"The need was most recognised in Queensland when we realised that we were
not getting donations in support of One Nation because of a perception that
had been created by media reports of some potential impropriety," Mr James
said.
"We have established in Queensland a trust fund which we expect to receive
in the hundreds of thousands of dollars ... that money is coming in now."
Mr James also said that Ms Hanson had appointed another Queensland official,
Mr Berwin Smith, as national campaign co-ordinator for the Federal election
and each State branch would run its own campaign. Mr Ettridge would therefore
have no role in the election campaign.
"David Ettridge will continue with his present role, which is purely the
administration of One Nation. We wish to have an obvious difference between
that and the conduct of the campaign and campaign funds," he said.
Meanwhile David Ettridge said he was "quite happy to be relieved of things".
"I've never been interested in power, I'm interested in having a good life
and you can't when you're so snowed under," he said.
Media speculation is that David Ettridge will be standing aside. I can tell
you now that I spoke to him this morning. He confirmed to me that the rumours
were wrong, "They are totally wrong", he said, "this
is just another move by the media to destabilise the party."
The move to take control of the donations from Ettridge effectively squashes
media reports that One Nation is controlled by him.
Finally, as the party's lead ticket representing New South Wales in the Senate
Pauline Hanson's senior adviser David Oldfield is ready to stand down from
this position - one that he cannot hold once he formally announces his position
as a Senate candidate.
Mr Oldfield said he could continue to act at times as Ms Hanson's spokesman,
"whenever it's appropriate", but "I'll just be on call, essentially".

Labor's tax bribe at a cost to those who have
saved
The ALP is making a virtue of its election lures - costing $7 billion, compared
with the Coalition's $17 billion - arguing its promises will be deliverable
no matter how the global economic crisis unfolds.
The Taxpayers Association says Labor's tax package contains a major surprise
in the form of capital gains tax on the sale of assets acquired before 20
September 1985. Pity they don't think of reforming the gross MP
superannuation packages on a retrospective basis going back to the same date.
Can you imagine how Hawke and Keating would squeal!
The Tax Association Head Peter McDonald says such assets have always been
tax free and when the capital gains tax rules came in it was announced they
would remain tax free.
Mr McDonald says the assets to be slugged are numerous.
"We're really talking about any asset," he said.
"It could be a rental property, it could be shares, it could be land, it
could be a boat, it could be anything like that, that literally the person
who currently owns it acquired before the capital gains tax rules came into
being," he said.
Meanwhile, Business Council President Stan Wallis says Labor's package is
not real tax reform, as it has not changed the indirect tax system, in ways
fundamental to further economic growth.
Mr Wallis says Labor's attempt to fund its package, using less of the Budget
surplus, is not necessarily positive.
"Both packages have some stimulatory aspects to them," Mr Wallis said.
"I think the view of the business community is it's worth expending some
of that surplus to get comprehensive tax reform in place.
"The Labor party is simply not addressing the fundamentals of comprehensive
tax reform," he said.
The National Farmers Federation says Labor's package falls short of the tax
reform Australia needs.
NFF executive director Wendy Craik says the package has missed the boat as
far as helping exporters.
"But I think the ALP really have made a few changes at the margins but they
have done nothing with fuel excise which is an incredible impost on agriculture
costs.
"They've done nothing with wholesale sales tax so exporters really won't
benefit from this package," Ms Craik said.
Politically correct and Laboral unite against One Nation
as expected.
Here
is an extract:
Leaders of Australian business, unions, welfare and
churches joined in a rare show of public unity yesterday to repudiate One
Nation and urge Australians to do likewise, condemning its policies as a
threat to the nation.
The former Labor prime minister Mr Bob Hawke approached
the Business Council of Australia and pulled the group together.
The Business Council, ACTU, Australian Council of Social
Service, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry and leaders of the Catholic
and Anglican churches made their joint call for "a tolerant, open Australia"
in Melbourne yesterday, asserting that immigration had benefited Australia
economically and culturally.
Anger as One Nation posters banned in shops
Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party says it is battling discrimination at Lake
Macquarie. One Nation candidate for the Federal seat of Shortland Mr Ron
Gardnir has been banned from placing election posters in Lake Macquarie Fair
shopping centre at Mount Hutton.
But Liberal candidate for Shortland Mr Peter Craig, who runs a bakery in
the centre, and Labor candidate Ms Jill Hall have been granted permission
to display material and set up information booths.
Mr Gardnir said it was a blatant case of political discrimination.
"We are asking the people of Shortland to face an election soon, and what
this shopping centre's virtually doing is saying no we are not giving you
a choice any more, you only have Labor and Liberal, so bad luck,' he said.
'At this stage we don't know whether it is a simple management decision or
if the political parties have put some pressure on them. 'Basically it means
the rough end of the pineapple for the people of Shortland.'
Mr Gardnir said he would check to see if the shopping centre had breached
any election regulations by playing favourites. The issue arose when the
Liberal candidate erected a campaign photograph of himself in his bakery.
The Labor candidate was then given permission to display material but requests
from One Nation were met with a firm 'no'. Mr Craig said he did not see it
as unfair because 'One Nation has no major policies anyway'.
'There are only two major parties in the election anyway that are of any
value to anyone,' he said.
Mr Craig said information stands would be placed in the centre at select
times to inform voters of the two major parties' election policies.
He said it would not be a case of political hard-sell but would be more 'advice'.
Shopping centre manager Mr Graham Carroll said the decision to bar 'minor
parties' would stand.
'We have made a decision,' he said. 'We think the major issues need to be
addressed and we felt that the Labor Party needed equal opportunity with
the Liberal Party to provide information for our customers, but we weren't
going to take it any further.' One Nation Hunter spokesman Mr Ron Cantwell
said the decision was a scandal. 'We don't care if Santa Claus has a sign
up, its a question of discrimination,' he said.
Australian Electoral Commission director of enrollment and parliamentary
elections Mr Doug Orr said the shopping centre had not broken any rules.
'Its not illegal, its a matter for the centre management,' he said.

MASS EXECUTIONS IN CHINA
Authorities in the southeastern Chinese city of Shenzhen say they have carried
out the largest mass execution in the city's history.
Judges issued punishments for 53 people at a sentencing rally attended by
nearly 20,000 people in a sports stadium.
Immediately after the rally, the 30 given death sentences were taken to an
execution ground and shot.
Those executed were judged to have committed murder and robbery or trafficked
in guns and explosives.
Shenzhen, which abuts Hong Kong, was transformed from a fishing village into
a test centre for capitalist reforms by the late Communist Party patriarch
Deng Xiaoping.
A soaring crime rate was one of the results, fed in part by legions of migrants
hoping to make it rich in the relatively wealthy city.

Subject: Multinational companies.
My employer has just sold out to a multi nation company.
Although my industry will in, the long run, be for the worse because of this
decision me immediate concern is my employment. I have just been asked to
sign a new employment contract but I don't know what to do because of the
terms and conditions which the document contains. Heres some examples, I
think you'll all be disturbed as much as me. 1. Hours of duty.
You will be expected to devote the whole of your time during normal working
hours and at such other times as may be reasonably necessary to the business
of the company. Working hours may vary accordingly to your position and branch.
your hours of work will be set by your manager.
2. Drugs.
The taking of drugs is controlled by the law. "Any person found breaking
the law" or or under the influence of a non prescribed drug will be instantly
dismissed.
does this mean, i wonder, if one is caught J-WALKING
one is open to dismissal?
3. Dealing with the media.
You must not, without the prior consent of the company communicate with or
disclose to any representative of the media any information of any nature
whatsoever relating to the company its clients or customers.
4. Confidential information and its

concerns any business of the company, any information about its products,
business methods, pricing policy, tenders, financial information and intellectual
property, howsoever that information is known recorded or stored and wether
found in visually or machine readable form.

Subject: an unholy coaltion
Well, well, well, I see they are at it again. An unholy
coalition of business, union, welfare and church self-styled leaders are
presuming to tell their fellow Australians how to think and how to vote in
the coming election.
Among other absurdities they claim that One Nation's
attitudes and policies "threaten Australian jobs by undercutting the growth
that flows from an open economy". Who wrote this drivel? The president of
the IMF?
A dangerous idea seems to be gaining ground in Australia
that consensus is always preferable to disagreement. That it signifies political
maturity. This is rubbish. In a healthy democracy people are not only entitled
to disagree, they would be lobotomized zombies if they did not disagree.
While many people (the signatories?) are doing very nicely out of the
globalisation push, many others are not. The National Civic Council and the
One Nation party are both oppposed to the economic rationalist policies which
have been followed by Liberal and Labor for the past 15 years.
As a result of those policies Australia is losing its
economic and political sovereignity. There is high unemployment. When the
Statistician counts a person as 'employed' for working just one hour a week,
the official unemployment rate is a joke. Australia routinely imports skilled
migrants while its own young are denied apprenticeships, and instead are
'trained' for low-paid 'service industries'. Ninety per cent of big business
is foreign-owned and pays little if any tax here. Once publicly owned assets
and utilities have been sold, despite strong public opposition. The new
shareholders don't care about the massive job losses or reduced services
resulting from privatisation. They are only interested in increased share
prices and fat dividends. Greed is rampant, and the stock of social capital
is all but gone.
These are a few of the perfectly legitimate reasons
people support One Nation. If a citizen disagrees with the Liberal and Labor
policies where is an alternative? The Democrats are too socially and morally
permissive for those of conservative bent. The Greens are irrelevant.
I cannot credit the stupidity of these 'leaders'. As
if One Nation supporters will change their minds because they are told
to!

I'm afraid that S. Verma lives in a much smaller and

"Why should asians/migrants have to assimilate with
people like you?"
Because people like me generously allowed you to escape
that stinking cesspool you emigrated from (India) - I would have thought
it obvious.
"Asians are the glue that binds the threads of your
nation together. If they leave, who will be here to train your employees,
to mend your mistakes, to finish your work, to make your businesses profitable
and to maintain your countries standards?"
Oh, so maybe you would like to demonstrate with hard
figures where all these skilled asians are? I know that a small proportion
are skilled, the majority however are not. I would also like you to quote
some examples of mistakes made by us and fixed by them? Profitable business
was here long before you, thats what gave this country the standards that
made it attractive enough for you to want to come here, fool.
"I am Indian, and will always be so. I will never be
Australian if there are people.."
Well, apart from the fact that your sentence wasn't
finished, there begs a question: If you are an Indian and not an Australian,
what the hell are you doing here?
"The world is about give and take, One Nation"
Sure, the more we give maggots like you, the more you
take - I see a whole lot of give and take in your precious India, in its
"give and take" nuclear standoff with Pakistan, and there sure is a lot of
that "give and take" in Tibet and East Timor.
Why don't you ask yourself what started all that "give
and take", you stupid child. If it wasn't cultural and idealogical differences
then what?
Don't thank me for my patience - as far as your ilk
are concerned I have none to give.

Imagine you own a house and you advertise for a flatmate.
What sort of person would you choose? Would you choose someone who didn't
speak your language? Would you choose someone whose habits conflict with
your own? Would you choose someone who had vastly different views on issues
that you hold dear to your heart? Would you want your new flatmate to make
up the "house rules" or would you expect them to conform to the established
rules that you had set?
The people in Australia are the "house owners". The
people want to let in "flatmates" that conform to whatever criteria happens
to suit us. If we prefer to deal with people that speak English then that's
our perogative. If we prefer people whose cultural habits are in harmony
with ours, that is our choice.

That's right. And if the Chinese don't like it they

So what are you saying? We are helpless as a nation
without Asians? Sounds racist to me.
>What do you have against Single Mothers?
Pauline has said nothing against single mothers in
general. All she has said is that single mothers who become single mothers
of their own choice and keep doing so, should take financial responsibility
for that choice. Hardly an unreasonable attitude.
>What have Asians and Aboriginals ever done to
you?
Nothing. That's why I say they should have equal rights.
Not more rights. Not less. Just equal.

At the moment, it seems that you are doing all the taking and

What One Nation is offering is a lot of stuff which
was official Labor and Liberal policy about 20 years ago. It's not half-baked
but rather very well baked, time-tested and time-proven.

Subject: marriage
Traditional marriage and all the social benefits that
derive from it would soon make a comeback if the government butted out of
the area of personal human relationships. As long as there is a tax-payer
funded financial alternative to the hard slog of marriage, many people will
take advantage of it. Despite feminist rhetoric, very few people divorce
because of violent abuse.
A young woman of my acquaintance is pregnant with her
fourth child and refuses to marry as it would compromise her 'independence'.
This is immoral on many grounds. Her 'independence' has been attained by
sponging off tax-payers. She denies the man/men in her life their rightful
parental role. Her children are growing up without a father with all the
well-documented social pathology that results from fatherlessness. By rewarding
her with an income the government legitimises her deviant behaviour and so
she is a bad example to other young women.
By all measurements governments make lousy husbands
and even worse fathers. American Charles Murray has recommended the radical
proposal that the government stop all payments to welfare mothers. So how
would they survive? As they have always done throughout human history - by
relying on their biological kin. He says this would have many benefits. It
would ensure that children grow up with the presence of other adults, not
just an inept and isolated mother. It would bring pressure on women to marry
so as not to be a burden to their family. It would allow men their adult
role of husband and father. It would re-introduce the stigma of illegitimacy
and so act as a forceful deterrent. It would most likely re-introduce 'shotgun'
marriages. Murray comments that while stigma and shotgun marriages might
be unpleasant for those at the receiving end, they nevertheless serve as
powerful and salutary regulators of behaviour in all societies.
As far as I know only Western societies have indulged
in this social engineering experiment. It has been a moral, social and financial
disaster. You won't find high illegitmacy rates in the Asian countries. Why?
They are too sensible to undermine marriage and waste money by supporting
voluntary mother-headed households.

Hey cool. So they ARE an original work of art! The

Anyway it's the perfect plan, plot to take over the

Subject: GST and the tax system.
We are being told that the GST is not a new tax, but,
a new tax system. We are also told that the existing tax laws comprise 5000
pages of nightmares for accountants. This 'new system' introduces a new tax
and replaces 10 existing taxes (9 of which are State taxes) and I am not
prepared to accept that this action will eliminate the complexity of the
present system. The Wholesale Sales Tax is applicable to the wholesaler's
price to the retailer. The retailer, in general, marks up that price by 100%
and a 10% GST on that price is equal to a 20% WST. Hence the price on most
household goods will be unchanged. The price on tax exempt foods will increase
by 10%. Goods currently carrying a 32% WST should decrease by about 10% but
50 years experience leaves me pessimistic on the benevolence of retailers
and the probability that the ACCC watchdog will effectively police price
reductions.
The current tax laws are complicated, not because of
PAYE income tax but, by the multitude of laws and conditions governing the
rebates and incentive payments to industry and multinational investment
companies. Certainly a GST broadens the tax base by including the entire
population (e.g. pensioners, retirees, unemployed, etc.) and expands the
volume of products to which the GST will apply (with the exception of some
'touchy' things like health and education). This GST will touch only the
general population. Companies will avoid much of this tax by purchasing offshore
for their own consumer needs (e.g. computers, infrastructure, printing of
brochures, etc.) much of which is imported tax free under the overwhelming
mass of the 5000 other pages. Any GST on local consumer purchases will be
recovered in transfer pricing of the product and the final consumer (Us)
will then pay the GST of the wholesaler. Hence, no manufacturer or wholesaler
will be affected by the GST, only John Q. Public. Indeed, I notice that Company
tax levels will be reduced to 30% (the same as the proposed maximum
PAYE).
On page 5 of the Government's Tax Brochure they state
"That's why the old tax system has to be replaced altogether." It does not
tell me if the Double-Tax Agreement of 1953 will be repealed. It does not
tell me how taxes on industry will be assessed. It does not tell me how they
intend to get Mr. Packer or Mr. Murdoch to pay their taxes. It does not tell
me how Multinationals will be taxed. The only thing it talks about is how
marvellous the GST will be for us all and how much of an extra burden we
will be forced to carry and how they will not be able to support the pensioner
if we don't buy it.
I am a pensioner, and my taxes were used to develop
Australia's Utilities like Telstra, Energex, the Water Board, etc. I remember
when the hospitals were free to all and were financed by the Golden Casket
profits with a population of 8million. I remember that in 1968 Australia
had unemployment at 0.33%. The politicians, since Menzies, have put this
country in such a mess that they have (or intend) to sell off these assets
to pay their mismanagement costs and, in retirement, I have to commence paying
taxes all over again else they cannot provide for the pensioner. I feel betrayed
and my lifetime of work has been set at nought by these bumbling idiots.
That is why I shall 'never ever' vote Liberal, Labour, National or Democrat
again

Subject: 'Intellectual elites' come out of
woodwork!
The irrestible spotlight of One Nation Party has, once
again, unearthed the cockroaches of Political Correctness. 'Anti-Hanson Alliance'
trumpeted The Melbourne 'Age' of Thursday 27th August on its front page.
According to the 'Age', the misogynist collection of socio-political anachronisms
calling themselves an 'alliance' consisted of the following: Business Coucil
of Australia president Stan Wallis, ACTU secretary and president Bill Kelty
and Jennie George, Catholic Archbishops George Pell and Edward Clancy, Anglican
Archbishop Keith Rayner, ACOSS President Michael Raper, President of the
Australian Coucil of Jewry, Diane Shteinman and scientist Sir Gustav Nossal.
Apparently, this sorry collection of fossils was organised by no less a personage
than ex(well and truly _EX_) Prime Minister Bob Hawke!
With the possible exception of Sir Gustav Nossal, the
sum total contribution of these puppets of multicultual intolerance and
globalised tyranny to the well-being, stability and general enhancement of
Australian society has been exactly _ZERO_. Instead, they have fostered ill-will,
instability and general social decline.
It should come as no surprise to the great mass of
decent, hard-working Australians that the likes of Clancy, Pell and Rayner
have, in the words of Mr David Oldfield, "stuck their bibs[dare one say
'snouts']" into the current political debate. Having long ceased to have
any relevance to their job-description(upholding the Bible, preaching the
Gospel of Jesus Christ and 'saving souls') and presiding over empty pews
and fragmented 'churches', these worthless shepherds, false apostles, workers
of deceit and 'cancers on the Body of Christ' have decided to enhance their
own self-esteem by becoming 'legends in their own lunchtime' and dancing
to the tune of 'political correctness'. _That_ is now _their_ Gospel....and
their 'Bible' is the tenets/ideas of the Global Village. What a pathetic
display by these disciples of instability,intolerance,ineptitude and
irrationality. The likes of Martin Luther,Charles Wesley,John Knox and Charles
Haddock Spurgeon would turn in their graves at this mutilation of the
Scriptures.
Not to be outdone by these cultural irrelevancies,
Jennie George and Bill Kelty have also decided to abandon a rapidly diminishing
constituency and blow the bugle of the Thought Police. Ho hum! 'Nary a word,
or a concern, about the decimation of manufacturing industry in Australia,
the gutting of rural and regional areas and the closing of factories/industires
in those regions or the literally millions of workers who have been victims
of 'economic rationalism', 're-structuring' and the 'recession we had to
have'. Not to mention, a plummeting Aussie dollar and an immovable unemployment
rate of 8-9%[with a 'hidden'/'real' unemployment rate of 15+%]. At that rate,
one wonders how much longer it will be before they have _no_ workers whatsoever
to represent. If all else fails, perhaps the likes of Clancy, Pell and Rayner
could higher them as advocates...when they find themselves physically evicted
from the church grounds by what remains of an increasingly irate
congregation!
cheers!

the documents.
I would like to thank my supporters. Anonymous supporters
(Qld) assisted me with legal documents. Jeanines' (S.A.) donation was used
to get local legal advice on court procedures and on speeches. Brian G's
(USA) donation was used to pay for the court transcripts. I would also like
to thank John Wilson (NSW) and Mike Bourke (UK) whose own legal battles have
encouraged me in mine. I thank the South Burnett times (Qld) and the Stategy
(Vic) newspapers also for their coverage of my cause.
I would also like to compliment the impartial and
professional manner in which the arresting and prosecuting Queensland Police
and the Kingaroy Magistrate have carried out their duties. We may often have
a lot of silly galahs as politicians but if the Police and the Judiciary
continue to carry out their duties with the fairness with which I have been
treated then democracy in Australia is not yet lost.
It is not whether I get off the hook that is important.
I could have avoided trouble by just getting a firearms licence and not provoking
the Police. What is important is the Rights and Freedoms which we Australians
thought we had but which have been removed by stealth by stupid politicians.
The Bill of Rights and Magna Carta were the central basis of our freedoms.
Until recently most Gun-owning citizens were considered the strength of the
society. Now?
Now I, Martin Essenberg, a gun-owner for 20 years am
not fit to either have a gun licence or even to do community service
Now Australia a Non-Christian country has also thrown
out the laws creating the rights of its citizens. Is this wise? You
Decide.
The Brisbane magistrate said as part of his
judgement:-
..............This court finds clearly that it is the
stupidity of your argument that has encouraged Australian State Parliaments
to impose or attempt to achieve uniform gun laws. Your purported excuse offered
to the police in relation to protection and self-defence is a reason why
a person such as yourself should not have a licence for a
firearm...............
and
............Well you can make application to do unpaid community service
if you wish, but I can indicate to you if the application is made today this
Court will find that you are not a fit person to perform community
service.
The Kingaroy prosecutor said:-
................refers to the Magna Carta and the Confirmatio Quitarum. They
have no effect upon the laws of this state as they provide no statutory basis
in this jurisdiction. In essence, Your Worship, we are a statute state. We
draw our laws from statute, not from common law..............
and
................Old law is good law, Your Worship, but it isn't always that
good. The Magna Carta and the Confirmatio Quitarum, they have the same effect
on our statutory laws as the Bible, Your Worship. They have influenced the
development of our statute laws. However, they have no statutory basis in
this jurisdiction. ......................
I still need continued support to keep my campaign
going. If you are legally knowledgable you can assist by researching this
issue and providing supplementary affidavits or legal documentation your
assistance would be appreciated and acknowlegded.
Some generous people have already offered me financial
assistance. If you are able to assist me send cheques made payable to:

The Hon. Peter Costello, MHR
Federal Treasurer,
Parliament House,
CANBERRA A.C T. 2600
Dear Minister,
Under instructions from our Western Suburbs Principal
we write to seek, through you, confirmation that the purchase price for Wheat
delivered to the USSR (or Russia), payment for which was delayed at the
instigation of the, then Senator, Gareth Evans as the relevant Minister in
the Labor government, has never been received and that there is an established
process by which such debts are traditionally written off as uncollectible
or the money recouped from an Insurance Company under a relevant policy.
How widespread, this particular Principal wonders,
is the practice of closing off the "books" (with the change of government
and renaming of departments?) and not bothering to press for payment of Primary
Produce and other goods "sold" or services provided to other nations?
Does such a practice matter, given that no government
(or Parliament), in Australia's history, seems to have elected to take
responsibility for the erosion of the nation's status or to seek to insist
on trade being different from gift or donation?
Your prompt and comprehensive reply is awaited with
great interest and,in anticipation of it, our Principal thanks you.
Sincerely,
J o n M. A x t e n s
Another perfect day in paradise.
Have a good one.
