11/11/2007 Trip to Kuala Lumpur
Recently I was invited to partake in a talk show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The main reason being was that the research officer for the tv programme called “Australian culture identity show” for “Al Jazeera” TV, is he and his colleagues had noticed the Howard government and the opposition were helping themselves to One Nation Policies!
It was bazaar that the Australian media had never reported this at any time. To think that we in One Nation had, over the years researched and costed all our policies, and spent a fortune in resources and man hours, doing this all the while we were attacked by our own media. A sick bigoted media who have shown their collective ignorance the whole time, dragging our precious nation down a very dangerous road of “U.S. corporate fascism”!
But the world media were watching. The world media believes Australian media to be biased and all that comes with it. A total racist, and discriminatory media that spent every opportunity vilifying the good people of One Nation.
Questions asked during the talk show about our “multiculturalism” and our ability to cope or not, with mid – eastern gangs in Sydney met with praise, saying it was wonderful by an ethnics associations chair (a woman by the first name of Vulla) whom I suggested should go for a walk in Bankstown after dark, her response was a shrug!
Howard governments’ invoking One Nation policy time and again, my response was that our policies were light years ahead of any of the majors policies, and Australia was a better place for them! We continue to lead the way and will always lead the way. Now Rudd has picked up on our water policy, of which we adopted in 1998!
The point being, is why is it the media from other nations can see that One Nations’ policies are being stolen and adopted every day, by the major parties, and our own Australian media do not report this very important issue.
Isn’t it the brief of all the media “to report unbiased, fairly and with accuracy to all readers”. Then those readers can make a better informed decision with all the facts and all the choices?
In “Ethics in Journalism” Chair Frank Brennan SJ AO MEAA Ethics Review Committee states “Only good journalist can bring the code to life. If the code is followed, its effects will be felt not just in the newsroom but will inform the nation about itself without fear or favour”.
You see if our Australian media did report it, immediately readers would say “ but didn’t you report that One Nation was dead and buried?” “didn’t your commentators say One Nation was irrelevant?” Fact is they can’t report on anything we in One Nation say as it would expose them as liars, which is exactly what they are! Sorry Frank, Australian journo’s are a disgrace, and they know it

Hicks case a shameful episode: lawyers
Friday April 27, 05:24 PM
The Law Council says the David Hicks case is one of the most shameful
episodes in Australia's political history.
The council said the only welcome aspect of Hicks pleading guilty to
terrorism related charges at a US military tribunal in Cuba last month
was that his nightmare would soon be over.
"Mr Hicks' plea and prison sentence will no doubt be trumpeted
triumphantly by the federal government as evidence that he was guilty of
something very serious all along," Law Council president Tim Bugg said.
But Mr. Bugg said Hicks' detention for more than five years had nothing
to do with justice and everything to do with politics and would be
looked back on as one of Australia's most shameful episodes. "From
the very beginning Mr. Hicks was a pawn in a political game played
ruthlessly for advantage in both the United States and Australia," he
said.
The Howard government's complicity in his detention, in a legal black
hole beyond the reach of anything resembling an impartial or independent
judicial system, marks a low point in Australian political life, Mr Bugg
says.
"This sorry saga will remain forever a stain on the record of the
Australian government and on that of the prime minister and ministers in
the Howard government who so enthusiastically defended the
indefensible," he said. Mr. Bugg said Hicks' nightmare was nearly over
simply because it became politically imperative for it to end.
"Heaven help those in Guantanamo Bay without someone to stand up for
their rights," he said.
"The US and Australian governments clearly won't be coming to their
aid."
Hicks, 31, will be transferred to a South Australia prison in the next
few weeks to serve a nine-month jail term after he pleaded guilty to a
charge of providing material support to terrorism.
The rest of his seven-year jail term was suspended.

Howard's Way
Watching National
television over the last couple of nights, you would be asking yourself,
is this man for real? (Howard) Cutting water to the Darling Downs
Basin, would open the flood gates for more imported produce from
anywhere in the world. Now if you are asking; so what? Well consider
this:
Fully importing all fruit
and veges from foreign nations is fraught with extreme danger to all
Australians health and well-being, remember foreigners can only dream of
the crisp, clean produce that Australian farmers produce, and even then
regulated strictly with regards to hygiene and processing. When I was in
the States I personally experienced people I knew, who would travel many
miles, sometimes across borders to purchase vegetables and fruit that
were not "irradiated" or have some dreadful disease, and that was years
ago, I'm told it is worse today.
Another very serious issue with this insane strategy is once this process has begun, we will not be able to stop it! It will rain again, and when it does our precious farmers will need every encouragement to grow as much produce as they can. They will not need this cheap, unhealthy foreign produce to compete with as they will not have a chance. We already know our governments view on this, compete or go under, or leave the land! We know this as those treacherous men and women have said it all before, and that has been their track record since as far back as we can all remember.
By the way, we in One Nation have been saying for nearly ten years now that we need water infrastructure, that it was urgent back then! We were called "simpletons, ludites and racist" and our cries for someone to listen only fell the way of the bigoted, biased media editors and they stopped our message going any further. Our state Parliamentarian Bill Flynn flew to Canberra to try and raise this issue there, only to be ticked off back to Brisbane. You don't here of these criminalities in the mainstream media, why because "they're One Nation", black 'em out from all Australians, my question is Why? Had they reported the news (which is what they are paid to do) and at least started debate on water infrastructure, Australia today would not be in the position we all find ourselves! Out of all this, Blame is healthy, teaching all of us to listen to all sides when it comes to the security of our Nation. Blame = Major Parties total arrogance, their total indifference to our safety, absolute ineptness to comprehend the dangers of sitting on their lazy ignorant backsides, and of course our dangerous media controlled by one man, Murdoch.
George Bush is on record as saying re- the American farmer, " Our farmers and the food they produce is a matter of National Security, and is out of bounds for any purpose". Yet our leader John Howard is chewing at the bit to resign our farmers to even more hardship causing catastrophic repercussions leading to a recession of which they will not recover! All for Globalism. Both major parties have enslaved this nation to this insidious irrepairable strategy demanded by Wall street and the IMF. If you folks in our cities think you will not be affected by all this in the long run, you best think again. 1litre of milk = $5.00, 1 kilo of lamb $40.00, 1 kilo of sugar = $4.50, a loaf of bread = $5.00, 1 kilo of flour = $6.00. Let's be absolutely clear about this, have you watched the multi national supermarkets kill off all Australian competition and then price gouge all of you without a hint of regulation from our whimpy major parties. Why do you think our "fearless leaders" spend so much time over there? (U.S.) Costello is over there right now receiving instructions from that group of maniac money grovelling grubs "the IMF", as to what our government can give back to this nations tax payers, all a sickening scenario but true!
You cannot afford to vote for either of the major parties this coming election, but if you are compelled to, then put honesty and integrity back into our senate and we at One Nation will see that the only legislation passed through that place will benefit all Australians and Australia, not like that other bloke in that other apology for a party who campaigned against the sale of Telstra, and then ran around in circles jumped up and down and proceeded to vote the sale into law. What a fake, lapdogs to the "Neo-liberalist" regime of Howard, Abbot and Costello! You do realise that after the election "Abbot and Costello" will be in charge of the "Neo-liberalist" party.
If you decide to vote for little "Kevy", you will without a doubt give full permission for the "Big - government" mentality of Labor, to double the GST. Continue indoctrinating our school children in their mad "socialist" agenda, and who, after twelve years of schooling, cannot read or write, will be keen to give our nation to whom ever is the minority loudest whingers! You need protection, and in our Senate is where you will get that protection, Checks and Balances, that is what our Senate does and has done since Federation, it works, as per our priceless Constitution.

Howard government accused of war crimes
This week, a lobby of judges, barristers and legal experts has accused
the Howard government of war crimes, deliberately compounding the
illegal actions of the Bush
Administration. Led by Melbourne barrister Robert Richter the group
called for the prosecution of the prime minister and other ministers for
the 5 year illegal detention
of David Hicks. Richter was also making a point that the incarceration
was violating the Australian criminal code and international law.
The call came at the same time this week when Hicks defense lawyers were
in court arguing that the Howard government had failed its
constitutional duties to protect its
citizen Mr. Hicks. Richter explains “Instead of confessing to a wrong
and doing the decent thing by trying to set it right, they are pushing
ahead with ‘churching the
whore’ after the abortion. They urge the Americans to create a facade of
legality for what is seen by all honest jurists as a gross violation of
national and international law.”
It may still be the case that after 5 years of government lies about
Hicks a new charge conjured up and put on the books – the dubious
retrospective law.
In reality, Hicks has been illegally detained for 5 years with no end in
sight. To string the process along the government over the years has at
times hinted that
something is being done. Many people have expressed grave concerns on
what this 5 year torturous incarceration will do to Hicks mental
facilities.
Recently Howard has cooked up 40 new so called anti-terror laws,
gravitating around 'arrest without charge' and denying 'the right to a
speedy trial.' As Howards rule
wanes, he will attempt to rule through terror. YES for this country, for
anyone who opposes what the political establishment is doing such as
running the social services
into the ground after asset stripping them or privatising them.

I wonder what Australians would think of both the Howard government and the opposition if they knew just exactly what they really get up to in that place of treachery, federal parliament! Another disgusting blatant cowardly attack on all Australians choice of whom to vote for, ( de-registering all minor parties, but done to damage One Nation) and that, it would seem to be removing choice, as to whom an Australian wishes to vote for, is simply a two party dictatorship.
These gutless little rats running around in the middle of the night passing legislation to de-register all minor parties, and making it incredibly difficult for any independents to run. All Australians desperately need to understand the amendments to the electoral act!
I have some facts right here if you care to gloss over them... These words from a sickening smug liberal spokesperson;
"These measures will encourage greater public participation in our democracy, which will lead to a fairer, more competitive electoral system".
Dean Jaensch of Flinders University wrote of the amendments for his
readers in the Adelaide Advertiser 30/8/06.
To sum up the most blatant:
Candidates for the House of Representatives will now have to pay a
deposit of $500 and for the Senate $1,000. This will make it harder for
minor parties and independents to contest elections. This proposal met
with Labor support - of course.
The raising of the level of undisclosed donations is now $10,000. This
means that a political party will not have to disclose who gave how much
to which party unless it goes over $10,000. Jaensch observes this
amendment does nothing for transparency and financial influences on the
political parties.
. Further, the amendments increase the level of tax-deductible gifts to
parties and candidates from $100 to $1,500 per year. He asks: ''Why
should the taxpayer give to a person or business who has donated to a
political party?" Charities are acceptable to most people - but
political parties?
. Sitting members of the federal parliament will now have $217,000 of
taxpayers' money in an election year to spend on printing and postage
mail-outs, leaflets, and every other type of personal or party
propaganda. Peter Costello - good fellow that he is - defended the
overall expenditure of $20 million.
Pity the poor taxpayer: "But," writes Mr. Jaensch, "there's more." For
the first time, sitting members can now use taxpayers' money to print
their how-te-vote cards and the millions of postal vote applications
they send out at every election. "But surely these, especially the
how-to-vote cards, are for the benefit of the party?" he asks.
Taxpayers, take careful note of such gall: You the hard working
people in this land, not only do you have to bear the weight of the
heaviest taxation in Australia's history, you will now be funding - over
the three year cyde - nearly half a million dollars FOR EVERY MEMBER OF
FEDERAL PARLIAMENT to assist him/her in holding on to his plum position
for as long as he can, at your expense.
TELSTRA:
Not only have the sitting members done their best to ensure they retain
their plum positions, they have also decided to sell another huge
portion of the people's asset, Telstra - and, wait for it, invest the
proceeds from the sale into what is known as 'The Future Fund'.
Future Fund:
A vague term implying a benefit for someone, sometime, down the track.
It is an investment fund set up by the politicians on the proceeds of
the Telstra sale (to be managed by David Murray, former chief of the
Commonwealth Bank) to ensure that when the politicians do finally leave
the political scene they will have access to a share of the golden eggs
the Fund will generate for them. As for the under-serviced country
and remote area Telstra customers... tough luck.

Much publicity has been give recently to the plight of David Hicks and his incarceration in the infamous military jail in Latin America.
David has been in this prison for 5 years awaiting trial for supposed terrorism crimes. The public has been allowed to know very little and if not for the efforts of his American lawyer we would know even less.
David Hicks is an Australian citizen, only one other person from a western country is held there, a Canadian, of whom most know nothing.
Other former prisoners from Great Britain have been released and those who have mingled with David say he still does not know just what he is supposed to have done to warrant the last 5 years of incarceration and the questioning and what has been described as torturous treatment in the Americans bid to have him confess all. The stories of the inmates treatment from former prisoners has been horrendous.
The issue of David’s treatment is coming home to bite John Howard’s government badly as public opinion swells against the government’s compliance in not having rescued David before this, it is likely he will be released in the near future because Howard and Co’ are facing an election this year and are failing dismally in the polls, not because of either his innocence or guilt of the charges, which seem to change every now and again.
John Howard’s Government’s treatment of this case is abysmal and the subsequence actions will be viewed with skepticism just as they should be, and it is now being stated that our Government's actions in this case is a breech of agreements on prisoners that they have signed, therefore illegal.
Bring David Hicks home now……

I suppose what I should be doing is wishing all Australians season greetings. I do, But consider this: While you are all spiralling deeper into dept, buying that ever important present for the kids, on your credit card, which is linked to your home loan with a line of credit to the amount of I don’t want to know, all becoming necessary because of your federal governments fiscal policies, and while you’re gloating over the ashes win and looking forward to the last couple of tests, as you enjoy a “barbie” with your mates, all talking about the good life, you are in fact implicit in handing over this irreplaceable nation to the “money grovelling Grubs”. (Wall street)
Your children will be the ones who have to deal with this, and their children! You, you will probably be old and bitter seeing ownership of your nation disappear, wondering “what on earth happened”? All Australians will in fact be tenants of this nation, and your children’s best hope for employment will be to go wait on tables, or door to door sales, for the multi-nationals of course! No meal breaks, commission only, a good sales person could look forward to around $30.00au per day.
You have sat back and watched oil companies price gouge all Australians to poverty, you did nothing! (oil companies still pay $10.00au per barrel)
You sat back and watched as politicians lied through their teeth bringing in new taxes! You did nothing!
You allowed foreign owned companies to pay little or no tax, endangering our national companies and stealing our wealth , You did nothing!
You sat back and watched as the lying media used themselves as propaganda against anyone who protested, you did nothing!
You sat back and watched as our federal politicians destroyed all industries relating to manufacturing, you did nothing!
You sat back and watched as both federal and state politicians attacked our rural industries, destroying them one by one, you did nothing!
You sat back and watched as politicians destroyed the farming industry, you did nothing! YOU DID NOTHING! YOU DID NOTHING!
You sat back and watched as Australia’s first political threat was imprisoned, as the judiciary lost all integrity, you did nothing!
You all know the corruption of both major parties and their little lap dogs, (Lib Lab Nat Green) you, up until now have done nothing!
I could go on and on, it’s shameful, it’s disgusting, how long are you all going to sit back and do nothing?
This is your opportunity TO DO SOMETHING, vote - 1 - One Nation, above the line for the Senate in the up-coming federal election and bring back honesty and integrity to our Senate. In the name of the Father, help us save our nation! Our beautiful nation!!!!!!!!!!

As you can see I posted this article back in august
6th. August 2006
An article you must read : Why Haditha Matters
Enough details have emerged from survivors and military personnel to conclude that in the town of Haditha last November, members of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment perpetrated a massacre. The killings may have been in retaliation for the death of a Marine lance corporal, but this was not the work of soldiers gone berserk. The targets (children from 3 to 14, an old man in a wheelchair, taxi passengers), the hours-long duration of killings, the number of Marines involved, the careful mop-up--all amount to wilful, targeted brutality designed to send a message to Iraqis. As Representative John Murtha has pointed out, (an American elected representative), the patently false story floated afterward, blaming the killings on roadside bombs, and Marine payoffs to survivors imply a cover-up that may extend far up the chain of command.
What matters about Haditha? After all, Iraq is a place where civilians die every day. Many of them die as a result of insurgent car bombs, or at the hands of Sunni or Shiite militias. Many thousands of others died in US air attacks early in the war (as civilians did recently in airstrikes in another US war zone, Kandahar).
Even in this context there remains a distinctly sickening horror in close-up systematic killing of civilians that's at odds with the declared US mission in Iraq and is repugnant to U.S. national ideals. Even under intense battlefield conditions, troops can instigate atrocities, or they can resist them. In the My Lai massacre, in 1968, Hugh Thompson Jr., an American helicopter pilot, saved many lives by putting himself between the guns of Charlie Company and the villagers whom those behind the guns--led by their officers--were wantonly killing. A generation of future US military officers were taught the details of the My Lai massacre as a particular lesson: What makes war crimes, is criminal leadership. Whatever the responsibility of the unit commanders in Haditha, it is George W. Bush as Commander in Chief who has sent the clear message that human rights abuses and violations of international law are justified in the "war on terror."
That the Marines institutionally covered up Haditha until Time magazine raised questions with the Corps suggests that the moral damage from the Iraq War is broader than a single debased unit. That is what so powerfully motivates Murtha, a Marine and Vietnam veteran. Another Marine, (U.S.) Senator John Warner, is promising hearings, but his Armed Services Committee's toothless investigation of Abu Ghraib offers scant hope of serious inquiry. As with My Lai a generation ago, it is participants in the Haditha killings or cover-up--some haunted by what they saw or heard about--who are bringing details to the press.
What happened in Haditha and how it was covered up is only half the story. The rest is yet to unfold: whether Haditha kindles a long-overdue reckoning with the moral catastrophe of this war or the shock gets defused by low-level Congressional inquiries; whether Haditha turns out to have been the low point of the US military venture in Iraq or a foreshadowing of worse to come. What we need is not the "picture of what happened" promised by the White House but a full-scale investigation both of the massacre in Haditha and of the climate of impunity that allowed it to happen and to be ignored for so long.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gate is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor – he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation – he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city – he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be found.” Cicero 42 BC
I personally could not have described our politicians more accurately today as Cicero did in 42 BC. You only have to take stock with this current “Neo – Liberalism” fiscal policy madness of the Howard government, and ask yourself, when was the last policy, or announcement to the struggling people of Australia a “good news” announcement? Alas we don’t get them do we? This is rank treachery, every time a politician opens his despicable mouth, you know it’s going to cause you and your family more grief and hardship.
Australia is on the brink, not their (politicians) mates (big end of town) they’re doing very nicely thank you very much! Paying little or no tax! I am talking about you, the man and woman on the street, the workers. We are very seriously being taxed into poverty. We have suffered our third interest rate rise this year, where there is no rime or reason to have interest rate rises. All these rate rises do, is to blow out the profits of all the foreign owned banks and financial institutions, who pay little or no tax, who do absolutely nothing to growth of our nation.
They are the proverbial parasites, just like those men and women in that place, which was once a place of honour, our federal parliament, but tragically not today! Filled with fools and traitors, all meandering down the halls of political impotency, bowing and scraping to their American masters. With total indifference to the very people they are sworn to represent.
They have tried every disgusting filthy trick in the book to get rid of the good people of One Nation, including total abuse of the judiciary, but we are still here and we will be yelling loud and clear this coming federal election.
We in One nation are here to support our fellow countrymen, your children and their futures, for all Australians! Balance and integrity will prevail!

The Editor.
Courier Mail…Editorial… 10th October 2006.
Espousing Barnaby Joyce as a ‘Professional Renegade’ National Senator has to be the joke of the week.
This is the man who promised Queensland voters during his election campaign that he would vote against any further sale of the Government held shares of Telstra.
He then followed the instructions from his executive despite knowing that his voters objected, and voted with the Liberal Government to sell, he claimed to have moved an amendment to protect rural users only to find his amendment meant nothing.
Just how that makes him a renegade defies logic. He has crossed the floor since but only on innocuous legislation which does nothing much.
Both National Senators Joyce and Boswell support their Party, First, Second and Last.
If they were genuine they would be fighting for reinstated import tariffs and subsidies for farmers, the Liberal/National coalition have solely overseen the demise of our farming community and our manufacturing industries completely for the benefit of overseas multinational interests.
There is nothing renegade about their performance except to the detriment of Australian citizens, it may be claimed our economy is healthy but this is on the back of exports we gain very little benefit from and the inflated housing industry which is propped up with ‘too easy to get’ finance thereby returning the greatest benefit to multi-national corporations and foreign bankers.

To listen to our ‘esteemed’ media you would think that you were in another country as they talk about migrant tests and restricting numbers and the like. When we in One Nation espoused this back in 1997 we were attacked by the very same media, branded racist, and to this day the unconscionable media persist with this gutless lie!
And now we are suffering a critical water shortage. And again we in One Nation were espousing a water strategy back in ’97, and were branded simpletons and hicks by other political parties and of course the media, always the media! Has anyone ever stopped to think why is the media hell bent on not giving One Nation a fair go? Simply reporting the truth would do, but no, not the “foreign owned media” with the greatest collection of liars and cowards of unprofessional bias re their editors of any nation on earth today!
We in One Nation have a water policy that Costello said was mad! Guess what? Howard is now thinking about that very same policy, and crowning his new bod ‘water chief’. They are actually taking our policies weekly, blatantly. And a nation full of investigative journalist? Not a pathetic whimper.
And the latest criminal activity by the major parties is passing legislation that enables the federal electoral commissioner to de-register One Nation for the third time, naming some bureaucratic garbage as the reason, and of course timing is of the essence, to coincide with the coming federal election. Their disgusting treachery, their cowardice is truly incomparable, their rank dishonesty is an affront to every Australian. We were warned that this would transpire soon and transpire it has!
The AEC is walking down a very dangerous road if it goes through with this attack on our cherished and god given right to the democratic process here in Australia. Just to see the AEC attempt such a move is an outrageous disgrace. One Nation is not the only ones set in their sights, all minor parties and independents as well.
That leaves the lib/labs/nats/dems/green coalition, what a comfortable little dictatorship we have here in Australia.
5th. September
I don’t know about you, but I am not very enthused by our major parties in this coming state election. Springborg and Flegg seem completely inept at this very important role and seem to blunder from day to day.
Beattie on the other hand is just as slick as ever. But this man has a vision and no plan as we already can see by his track record. Total incompetence, arrogance, absolute indifference to all rural communities, narrow minded citi-centric political ramblings instead of policies.
With our state in crisis in all areas, I cannot understand how the media portray this little autocrat as having anything at all to offer Queenslanders. It is bazaar how the media can be so bias toward a total clown, and it shows perfectly how unprofessional our print media is. Our state is heaving toward irreparable damage, all caused by one little media contrived tart.
Beattie’s “grandiose plans” are nothing but worthless ill conceived tripe dragged out at every election. Like it’s his “standard equipment” re-election mode. This person has no substance, never has, never will have.
God help Queensland after Saturday as he WILL win. And we all lose!

16th. August 2006
There was a time when we at One Nation were called “luddites and simpletons”. How things change. Tonight on national T.V. senator Boswell was lecturing the voters, that Australia was not ready for the next step in “stem cell research”. I wonder what his self righteous sanctimonious opinion would be, if he had family who were ill that could benefit from this research!
The fact that medical research has long been hamstrung by the incredibly narrow-minded ignorance of our politicians in Canberra seems to go unabated. This is obviously out of the reach of their intelligence and should be left to the medical fraternity, you know, the “experts”.
One Nation senators would lobby to have the relevant people, obviously in the medical fraternity, in charge of such commissions, why? Who better would understand this issue. To further clarify another burning issue we would also re-visit the euthanasia debacle here in Australia.
To hear Beattie again bleating he is the underdog in “his” early election that “he” was not going to have, the same day as Labor was sending out election campaign material was nothing short of disgraceful. Beattie in his brand new ‘tax payer funded’ corporate jet, with his one hundred plus personal staff, the under-dog? You have got to be joking!
For goodness sake Mr. Beattie, can’t we have just ONE HONEST election? Queenslanders are growing very tired of your “truth challenged propaganda”
Ian J Nelson
14th. August 2006
I for one am gravely concerned with the total disregard for fellow Queenslanders and the repugnant arrogance of the Beattie government towards us all. Only last week Peter Beattie absolutely refuted the “so called rumour” of an early election. No way, we will go full term he said, (with that cheesy grin) there is no need for an early election! Or something very similar.
The fact that everything he has gone near, he has destroyed completely. Why don’t we all reflect on just a few of his disasters over the past nine or so years, and in a few days I will collate all of them. Unfortunately this will be heavy reading, but we at One Nation demand of this person to finally come clean on his leadership.
We at One Nation have been trying to recover our “electoral funding” for years now, these funds were over $500,000.00. Our most recent curt note from the State Electoral Commission abruptly says from the “Commissioner” himself:
“I have relayed your request to the ‘Attorney General’ (a Beattie government minister) who says you have no case!”
The repercussions from this quite unremarkable reply, is that we no longer have a separation of powers in Queensland. We thought that the Queensland Electoral Commission was totally independent of any interference from government, yet when receiving a demand for funding that has been stolen from a ‘bona fida’ duly registered political party, One Nation, and who earned that money, the commissioner goes running like a scared mongrel dog to the Beattie government! Who says “don’t pay them. In anyone’s language, this is corruption in motion.
In the next few days I will give you an insight of how Beattie’s judiciary hounded Pauline into prison. You had to be there to believe it. That in a few days. In the mean time consider everything that One Nation has been saying over the last nine years has happened, or is happening as we speak, and we have been attacked by the media as simpletons, luddites, racists and the like.
You the voter should be given all the information as to whom you would like to represent you. The print media is not doing this, they completely black out One Nation during elections, every election. Their social responsibility is to print the truth, report the news unbiased and diligently. Alas! Our one news paper town has a print media, that will do anything to stop One Nation.
14th. August 2006
The issues to this point in time are numerous and of course my friend and colleague, Rod Evans, has diligently covered some of the “burning issues” already.
My concerns are that both federal and state governments are turning our once beautiful nation into a “third world police state”, by gradualism. This ‘gradualism’ is happening as we speak.
Almost every day now there are more draconian laws legislated both federally and state, that further erode our freedom of speech, thought, what we are able to read and watch, and movement. This, fellow Australians must stop. Our great nation was built on freedom and democracy, not Tyranny as is happening now. “When the people fear their government, that’s Tyranny! When governments fear the people, that’s freedom!
These new laws of course, are in the name of “security”, to fight this so called terrorism we all seem to be prisoners of. That is of course absolute garbage. If little Johnny wasn’t wandering around the world kissing other world leaders proverbial backsides, committing our young Australian military personnel, into harms way, in a conflict that has absolutely nothing to do with any Australian, there would be no conflict with anyone! And if you believe what is written in the print media, you definitely need to get a reality check, spend more time on the ‘web’. PLEASE!
Water and oil are at crisis levels in Australia and need urgent attention. We in One Nation have always said that we desperately needed “water infrastructure”, and we needed it urgently. We have said this since 1997.
We were ridiculed and vilified by our bigoted, bias media and cowardly major parties. The fact of the matter is that neither of these groups want you to hear what we in One Nation have to say, simply because they are very afraid that main stream Australians, you, the voters of this ailing nation may just agree with all we say! Can you imagine the billions of giga-litres of precious rain-water that runs into the sea every down-pour? Put simply, this is not rocket science!
This is nothing short of “criminal negligence” by both state and federal governments, and make no mistake about it, One Nation senators will be pursuing this to the enth degree. Water is precious, it is also a god given right for all beings to have access to it. One Nation abhors the direction that our governments are taking, to make money from what falls from the heavens, to call water a “commodity” is an obscenity and an affront to every human being. This, of course, is led by the money grovelling grubs in the IMF! More about these gluttons later.
Oil today is another attack on our society and what do our representatives do? Nothing! Oh! Yes they do, they allow interest rates to rise, now that will fix everything, won’t it?
The corruption and deceit that has infected government bureaucracies and government itself is breath-taking. Nothing has changed when producing a litre of fuel, it still costs about three cents a litre to refine. It’s the cost of a barrel of oil that apparently has risen to remarkable levels, or have they?
Once again the media are not asking the questions; why has our precious fuel risen to unsustainable and unaffordable levels. Why are we paying world “opec” daily spot prices? Or futures market prices? I know what you are thinking, this is just another One Nation conspiracy theory, YOU ARE WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. We are being lied to by all around us. Oil companies, media and government.
These gluttons, the oil companies pay no more than $10.00AUD a barrel, they are treating all of us like fools telling us, through the complicit media, that they are paying $70.00 a barrel, rubbish. Oil companies buy oil supplies on five and ten yearly contracts @ approximately $10.00 a barrel, and those contracts are tight as the proverbial drum!
Stay tuned as I have a lot to discuss with you all

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Globalism has resulted in the scramble by federal & state governments to corporatise & sell off public assets. The final straw in the pack was the attempt to sell off the Snowy. People power forced the government to back down & take a long hard look at the situation.
In NSW the scandal of private tunnels & toll roads has resulted in ex premiers & politicians being paid off with cushy jobs with foreign investors that now own the peoples roads.
Most labor state governments are also lining up to get on the gravy train, roads, energy, water, airports, telecommunications are all up for grabs.
Nothing has been learnt from overseas, especially the ENRON scam. What is the answer?
One Nation has long had a policy of tax & finance reform, this includes the setting up of authorities to control such vital resources such as energy, water etc. This will include a national infrastructure authority to fund & build all major infrastructures such as roads, bridges, ports, power stations, hospitals etc.
Funding is to be provided in the main from government issued debt free money (as per the constitution) Repayment would come from the debit tax & export taxes on items such as petroleum products in much the same way as the OPEC countries fund their infrastructure.
Other sources of funding could be an import excise tax on imported goods, with a by-law being granted only to products that cannot be produced locally.
Social security fund money that is currently going into consolidated revenue, along with additional voluntary super contributions could go into an authority where the funds can also be used for infrastructure investment. This will eliminate unfunded pensions for public servants & politicians & bring all Australians into an equal retirement pension without an assets test, with the qualification that the contribution period should be 15 years minimum.
With the wealth of our resources there is no need to borrow money at high interest rates from foreign financial institutions. Contracts for construction will be let out by tender to the most competitive bidder to ensure the best value for the dollar spent. Australian owned companies of course will get full consideration on their merit, with first consideration to developing skills in Australia, employment of Australians & sourcing of local equipment & materials.
The Debit tax will eliminate labor shortages, as it will release thousands from unproductive jobs, into real productive jobs.

An article you must read : Why Haditha Matters
Enough details have emerged from survivors and military personnel to conclude that in the town of Haditha last November, members of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment perpetrated a massacre. The killings may have been in retaliation for the death of a Marine lance corporal, but this was not the work of soldiers gone berserk. The targets (children from 3 to 14, an old man in a wheelchair, taxi passengers), the hours-long duration of killings, the number of Marines involved, the careful mop-up--all amount to wilful, targeted brutality designed to send a message to Iraqis. As Representative John Murtha has pointed out, (an American elected representative), the patently false story floated afterward, blaming the killings on roadside bombs, and Marine payoffs to survivors imply a cover-up that may extend far up the chain of command.
What matters about Haditha? After all, Iraq is a place where civilians die every day. Many of them die as a result of insurgent car bombs, or at the hands of Sunni or Shiite militias. Many thousands of others died in US air attacks early in the war (as civilians did recently in airstrikes in another US war zone, Kandahar).
Even in this context there remains a distinctly sickening horror in close-up systematic killing of civilians that's at odds with the declared US mission in Iraq and is repugnant to U.S. national ideals. Even under intense battlefield conditions, troops can instigate atrocities, or they can resist them. In the My Lai massacre, in 1968, Hugh Thompson Jr., an American helicopter pilot, saved many lives by putting himself between the guns of Charlie Company and the villagers whom those behind the guns--led by their officers--were wantonly killing. A generation of future US military officers were taught the details of the My Lai massacre as a particular lesson: What makes war crimes, is criminal leadership. Whatever the responsibility of the unit commanders in Haditha, it is George W. Bush as Commander in Chief who has sent the clear message that human rights abuses and violations of international law are justified in the "war on terror."
That the Marines institutionally covered up Haditha until Time magazine raised questions with the Corps suggests that the moral damage from the Iraq War is broader than a single debased unit. That is what so powerfully motivates Murtha, a Marine and Vietnam veteran. Another Marine, (U.S.) Senator John Warner, is promising hearings, but his Armed Services Committee's toothless investigation of Abu Ghraib offers scant hope of serious inquiry. As with My Lai a generation ago, it is participants in the Haditha killings or cover-up--some haunted by what they saw or heard about--who are bringing details to the press.
What happened in Haditha and how it was covered up is only half the story. The rest is yet to unfold: whether Haditha kindles a long-overdue reckoning with the moral catastrophe of this war or the shock gets defused by low-level Congressional inquiries; whether Haditha turns out to have been the low point of the US military venture in Iraq or a foreshadowing of worse to come. What we need is not the "picture of what happened" promised by the White House but a full-scale investigation both of the massacre in Haditha and of the climate of impunity that allowed it to happen and to be ignored for so long.
