International:

When I received the "Wikmail" my hackles rose.

Here we have a perfect example of the conniving crap that the Australian Labor Party (ALP) (or Alternative Liberal Party) thrash out while freely spending tax payers money in an attempt to secure the votes of fringe and minority groups.

The comment by Beazley, leader of the ALP, on the Don't Victoria Defenders of Native Title page is a classic - tied up with the unsolicited email - and once links have been investigated (as detailed below) demonstrates the depth of political expediency, misuse of taxpayers money and "jobs for mates" that prevails within the heart of this corrupt mainstream Australian party.... and we dug this up in just an hour on the net... and, believe me, the more you dig the more blatant the evidence of vote buying!

"Don't Victoria Defenders of Native Title" has a link to with this solemn statement from Kim Beazley (see link above):

"Support for the maintenance of native title - and opposition to the Howard Government's Wik legislation - from all sections of the community has been unprecedented. Australians from all walks of life are coming together to proclaim their support for native title and reconciliation.

"This homepage (DONT Victoria etc..) provides yet another avenue for people around the world who support native title to make their feelings known to the Howard Government.

"The Government has shown itself unwilling to compromise on its discredited Wik legislation despite enormous pressure from the community, churches and even many members of the Liberal Party.

"The Labor Opposition believes the Wik legislation is discriminatory and we will not support it in its current form.

"I urge all of those who agree that the Wik legislation must be stopped to contact the Prime Minister to lodge their objection.

"This homepage is an excellent new way in which people in the community can contribute to the native title debate.

Kim Beazley
Leader of the Opposition
Canberra

This statement is then followed up by this absolutely bizarre rebuff to Beazley by the web page administrator, Daniel Pocock, who we discovered was "of Virtual Moreland fame" (in Coburg) - we will get to this in a moment:

"As correctly reported in the Financial Review 22-23rd November 1997, the ALP is currently:

"engaged in a stand off with the Democrats and the Australian Greens over Senate ammendments to the Wik bill.

"The minor parties are both seeking more far-reaching pro-Aboriginal ammendments than the ALP on key issues such as the validation of mining leases issued after 1993, the upgrading of pastoral leases, the right to negotiate and the role of Aboriginal representative bodies.

"They say the ALP should not take for granted their support for weaker ammendments.

"But the ALP is warning that if the minor parties refuse to accept its ammendments, particularly on the issues of validation of post-1993 leases, it may decide to vote for the unamended Government bill.

"The issue of validation of post-1993 leases is crucial to the Queensland ALP, which faces an election next year.

"The minor parties say it will be on the ALP's head if it votes for a bill it has itself called unfair."

"The DONT Victoria Coordinating Committe is asking for people to urgently contact the ALP leadership and demand the complete protection of indigenous native title rights.

"You can contact:

"The Hon Kim Beazley
"Leader of the Opposition

"Fax: DELETED

"The Hon Gareth Evans, QC
"Deputy Leader of the Opposition

"Fax: DELETED

(Please note that the above is an exact transcript spelling mistakes et al). Gareth Evans is the man who misled the Senate in November 1995 regarding McGinty's comments to Keating in May that year about Carmen Lawrence lying to the WA state parliament. Carmen's lies led to the Marks Royal Commission over the Penny Easton affair and hundreds of thousands of tax payers dollars being spent by the ALP in a failed attempt to close the Marks Royal Commission down.

DONT Victoria also has a sponsor/supporter, the Body Shop. By the way if you are a One Nation member, may I suggest you consider contacting them to protest (see details below). I quote from the DONT Victoria... home page,
"The Body Shop is selling a "Stick with Wik" arm band, proceeds going to the Mirimbiak Nations Aboriginal Corporation. Extreme right wing agitators have proclaimed a boycott of this responsible Australian company. Please support them for taking a moral stand. The Body Shop sells a range of products that would make ideal Christmas gifts, including the arm bands."

The Body Shop has, apparently, found it politically expedient to promote or be seen on a number of indigenous web sites promoting the view that native title be left alone.

You can phone the Body Shop's head office at (03) 9565 0500 or fax (03) 9560 0033 make sure you address your view/s to the Australian principle franchisees of this operation: Barry Thomas or Graham Wise.

But, let's have a look at the business associates of the developer of the "Don't Victoria Defenders of Native Title web site - Mr Daniel Pocock (who can be contacted at: 041 1159 3543 or (FAX) +61 3 9350 7556).

What is interesting is that a little bit of on-line detective work reveals that Daniel Pocock is the technical contact for a domain vmore.org.au which is called Virtual Moreland and that this service provides FREE Internet services for Community Groups - just COMMUNITY GROUPS! (Au$100,000 has been sought from the Victorian state government to get this little baby going and based on the success of the participants in the past getting this tax payer funding should be a breeze).

The Virtual Moreland website, they say, is developed in part by CO.AS.IT... here is a quote:

"Co.As.It has agreed to work with Olsy-Olivetti Systems to develop a community electronic commerce model based on Olivetti's cybermarket technology."

.....and who is CO.AS.IT?

Well let's see what their website says...
"CO.AS.IT is a registered non-profit organisation for Italian immigrants and Australians of Italian descent".... oh how wonderfully politically correct, how perfect for the multicultural "tax payer funded" lobby, how opportune for the Italian ALP member of parliament for the area. I jest? Well read on...

Now CO.AS.IT is not for other Australians let me remind you.... just Australians with Italian lineage... but it gets better just hold your horses there...

Quote from CO.AS.IT pages: "1968: First subsidy from the Australian Government, (Grant-in-Aid), Immigration Dept. First after-hours Italian classes at St. George's Primary School, Carlton." Sounds harmless enough, but of course since then the hand has been outstretched and money has just fallen into this multicultural organisation's lap like snowflakes on the snowfields in winter.....

and so it would have to have for here's another quote: "(CO.AS.IT owns) A modern library service, access to the largest Italian language CD-ROM Library in Australia, a State-of-the-Art Multimedia Centre with a television studio, a theatrette and a Language Laboratory with video conferencing facilities are an integral part of the Resource Centre." - No guessing who paid for all of that...

But it gets better, a whole lot better...

Guess who is behind "Virtual Moreland" - why it is a sitting member from the Australian Labor Party - who just happens to be the Member of Parliament for Coburg (which includes Moreland) yes, it is, Carlo Carli who also just happens to the ALP's Opposition spokesman on multimedia issues... The good citizen Carlo says on his home page:

"Carlo Carli's Office, in conjunction with the local community and council, are working on a project to reinforce already strong community networks with an online network. The projects working title is Virtual Moreland. Check out the initial website, and, if you're interested, GET INVOLVED, or email us to show your support. "

And here is another gem from Carlo's page:
"University Italian: The Italian department at La Trobe University is no longer to be closed. The department has a history of good teaching and is chosen by many students from this area. The threat of closure was a bad decision which has been reversed."

And Carlo... of course Carlo is Italian - but I would never have guessed... now I see why multiculturalism is the cornerstone of the ALP's voter base...

Sounds rather like another ALP driven New South Wales "service" called "Foundation Law" which provides FREE legal advice not to mainstream Australians mind you - just COMMUNITY GROUPS... starting to sound a bit of a bore? I could go on, and on, and on.... there is a flurry of taxpayer funded "multicultural businesses" setting up and feeding off the politically correct bureaucrats underwritten by the Australian tax payer through the largess of the Australian labor Party who, to quote Graham Richardson, must shore up their votes with these community groups "at any cost".

Yes these examples represent just the tip of the iceberg of the new politically motivated "multicultural industry" whose employees will do anything to preserve their own taxpayer funded paypackets - even if their work severely damages the future for Australian kids (the kids of today's Australians).

Oh! what a wicked web the ALP weave - leaving sticky fingerprints all over the place! So we mainstream Australians thought that we lived in a fair and democratic society in Australia... we just wondered why we don't have access to all the tax payer funded new technology which seems to appearing in "closed" community groupings... groups whose votes push politicians over the line when it comes to elections.

Political:

Senator Minchin demanded that the legislation be given passage through the senate to ensure that 60,000 freehold titles were put out of the reach of native title claims.

A legal spokesman for the Australian National University, George Williams, said, "To suggest or imply that freehold interests might be subjected to native title is plainly wrong. There is no room for co-existence (with freehold)."

It is interesting to note that three claims against freehold have so far been dismissed.... now I would have thought that only one case would be sufficient to prove the point... but apparently not when you are funded by ATSIC and pastoral leases are not enough of a land grab.

You Say:

Subject: Native Title Claims on OUR backyards

How stupid does the ALP think the Australian public is?

They say that suburban Australians do not need to fear Native Title claims on the backyards, they say the government is just scaremongering. They say the law guarantees the superiority of freehold titles over the recently invented native titles.

That's what they told farmers about pastoral leases!

And now they expect the rest of us to fall for the same lies!

If freehold title does extinguish Native Title, why wont they support the legislation that confirms it?

If what they are saying is true, what have native titleholders got to lose?

The ALP is speaking with forked tongues again. You can always tell when they do this - their lips move.

Australians have two choices:

1. Be afraid Australia. Be very afraid. Be timid and do and say nothing in your own defence. Today the farmers are getting shafted, tomorrow it will be the rest of us.

2. Wake up. React. Protect your property, your livelihood, and your children's future.

It's time to choose..............

Subject: Pauline Hanson and death threats.

I have been watching the latest going's on in Parliament and in particular the rubbishing Pauline has been getting over her " Video Tape" I was quite taken back by the sneers being offered by Sinclair and his MOB.

I would take this opportunity to remind the so called " Senior Gentlemen", and hopefully Pauline will do the same.

If these men think Paulines fear of being " Knocked Off" is imaginary, "WHY WAS JOHN HOWARD DRESSED IN A " FLACK JACKET" when he was addressing the gun lobby.

GOSH COULD IT BE THAT " HE " WAS IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE.

At least Pauline faces her tormentors without resorting to " ARMOURED PROTECTION."

Subject: Things They Would Rather Not Hear

To: The Editor

Dear Sir,

Just a few months before the Port Arthur massacre, both Roland Browne of the Tasmanian Co-alition for gun control and the former Premier of NSW, Barry Unsworth, both stated to the media "that there would have to be a mass killing IN TASMANIA before the new federal gun control laws can be accepted". This statement could have incited Martin Bryant or whoever to kill.Yet only Pauline Hanson is condemned by Gareth Evans and others for inciting copy-cat killers.

The Prime Minister, John Howard, Daryl Smeaton, Daryl Williams, Tim Fischer and almost all other politicians and the media guaranteed the public that the new federal gun control laws and confiscations would make Australia a safer place. Not from the lunatics and criminals who can always get a gun from the black market, but from the ordinary citizens who they consider a threat and cannot be trusted. What do we now have, just twelve months after the laws were introduced? According to official Queensland Police statistics, armed robberies have increased 25%, violent assaults are up 11% and break-ins are up 5%.

So despite the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the gun laws and buy back we are now worse off. Also, less than twelve months ago, Mr. Tim Fischer, our deputy Prime Minister stated to the media that he considered President Suharto of Indonesia to be the man who will be remembered as the most famous statesman of the latter part of the twentieth century. When he was called to explain this in light of Suharto's civil rights abuses such as 200,000 killed in Timor, tortures and the Dilli Massacre, Mr. Fischer replied that Suharto would be remembered for his economic achievements. And, what do we have? The collapse of the Indonesian economy with a revealed debt of $32 Billion and the real figure could be much higher.

The Suharto family have milked off in bribes more than $10 Billion and yet the Australian taxpayer is called to foot the bill to Indonesia who has spent much of this money ( like Thailand, who we also bailed out) on military equipment such as an aircraft carrier, fighter aircraft and other weaponary. It has also been reported in the media that our ex-Prime Minister, Paul Keating is working for the Suharto Government and has a palace type villa in Indonesia and also villas in France, Switzerland and on the Hawkesbury River and many millions of dollars in banks as well as other assets. Not Bad for an ex-Bankstown boy. I would not deny him these riches if he had helped Australia, but according to Graeme Campbell in a recent interview, he said that Australians have yet to realise the tremendous damage Paul Keating has done to Australia.

An editor friend has been criticised for stating that if the blue-rinse set vote for the Liberals and Nationals and the blue-collar groups vote for Labor again after the way they have treated the Australian public, then they are bloody idiots. Well, I would use much stronger terms if they do. However, there may be a change coming as Mr. Bill Taylor, the federal member for Groom, stated in Hansard Ist October, 1997 that he addressed a meeting of 900 people at the Toowoomba City golf club and that 899+ were against him. He said it was because of the Dorings, the McNivens and the Pitts. Well it appears that many people are now listening to our message despite the censorship of the media and harassment from the police.
