23rd November 1999
The following email was broadcast from the One Nation Bexley Office yesterday afternoon (The night had been originally planned for my aborted address at $12.50 a head. My meeting was aborted following the NSW State executive decision to ban me from attending branch meetings in that state... there is an interesting devaluation in the entry charge with Ettridge as the speaker):
Dear Friend & Supporter
This is to inform you that the Bexley Office in conjunction with the Kogarah and Rockdale Branches are meeting this Thurdsay, the 25th, at the Rockdale Tennis Club at 7.00 pm. The meeting will go on for around 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
The Guest Speaker is David Ettridge, National Director of One Nation. It has been 6 months since David was last a guest speaker at a function of ours. All are welcome. The cost is only $10.
Many things have happened in the party since David's last speaking engagement in May deserving of comment. Local elections & the referendum.
There is the long awaited appeal against the deregistration of the party in Queensland starting the week after. There is the problem with Scott Balson. So in all a few topics on which to be informed.
Come along and hear for yourself.
Regards & Best Wishes
Neil Baird
PS: Please call me and let me know that you are coming. 02 9599 5127 or 0414 380 471. or Email me.
Ettridge attended the NSW State Executive meeting banning me. So how does the basic principles of freedom of speech fit in with all this?
While on that subject a limited number of seats remain for Friday night's address while Saturday's lunch is now booked out.
NOTE: This is a private function.
