[MURDER BY MEDIA, DEATH OF DEMOCRACY IN AUSTRALIA]

from an Aussie's viewpoint on Australia's first daily Internet newspaper.
Since October 1995

I joined One Nation Senator-elect Heather Hill at her home last night.

A small family group including her husband Ken, my wife Viv, son Alex and my mum Joan (visiting from Perth) as well as Heather's parents sat in the lounge and chatted about the year ahead.

It was a lovely evening amongst friends - a great way to start 1999.

Below are some images taken during the evening:

Well, well, now that Pauline Hanson is no longer causing trouble for the elites by being able to speak in the Lower House of federal parliament all the dirty washing is coming out. And yet it is so sanitised from the "racist" tag that you can almost smell the odour of the closet closet gang sweeping Australia into the new millenium.

We now read that, yes, there is an Asian crime problem in Australia. This is something that Pauline Hanson was labelled racist for saying. Now The Australian says, "Consider this scenario: four gangsters armed with AK-47 assault rifles walk into a restaurant in Sydney's Chinatown and calmly open fire killing five tourists as payback to the owner for not meeting extortion payments."

Now imagine the repercussions in the media if Ms Hanson had said that a year ago. You would have the unethical journalists in the Packer/Murdoch stables falling out of their tree and trampling all over each other in their mad desire to go get her.

Now a Sergeant Mark Craig a leading international expert on Chinese organised crime syndicates has said that Australia will be their next target. They will come here because of the intense rivalry between gangs that is building up in non-Chinese locations like the US, Canada and Western Europe.Craig also says that money laundering will become common and drug trafficking will increase... with Chinese gangs becoming the biggest threat to law enforcement in Australia.

Craig named the Fukienese syndicates as the biggest danger - the syndicate is involved in kidnapping, heroin trafficking and the smuggling of illegal immigrants throughout North America and Western Europe.

He also named the Singma a group based in Malaysia who are responsible for smuggling up to two tons of heroin in Australia each year.

How racist!!! How very, very racist!! What the hell is The Australian coming to printing this sort of racist trash? Should we contact RaceWatch and demand that the journalist and News Limited be outed? Should we march on their offices in Brisbane? Or should we shake our heads and say bloody hypocrites.

Craig also says Australia's recent ban on firearms would make it a target of the illegal arms trade.

Diversity policy

While Australia continues to export the manufacturing jobs of its workers, it increasingly manufactures jobs for its otherwise unemployable army of university graduates, particularly Arts graduates. It achieves this feat by expanding the bureaucracies necessary to enforce political correctness.

Sounds far-fetched? Most people have no idea just how bad the PC bullying has become. For example in New South Wales it is now mandatory for organizations to 'recognize cultural diversity as a positive force'. It's just too bad if you think cultural homogeneity has a lot going for it - like greater social harmony, and a sense of common nationhood. Thinking that is now a no-no in NSW. Proof?

Under a 'cultural diversity' policy, NSW law (the Ethnic Affairs Commission Amendment Act 1996) requires the University of New England (where I work) along with all other institutions to:

* observe the principles of cultural diversity
* prepare an Ethnic Affairs Priororities Statement (EAPS)
* include in its Annual Report a statement setting out the progress in implementing the EAPS
* include in its Annual Report a statement describing any agreement with the Ethnic Affairs Commission, and progress with that agreement as required by new Regulations under the Annual Report Act.

So there you have it. While productive manufacturing jobs are being exported to third world countries, useless bureaucracies will expand in NSW universities, the public service and other organizations. People with nothing better to do will plan 'diversity' policies; will gather data by wasting staff's time in stupid questionnaires (I always toss mine into the bin un-opened - so much for the reliablility of the data); will monitor the implementation of the 'cultural diversity' policy as required by law; and will produce turgid reports that nobody will read, save the bureaucrats at the government end.

Australasian currency

The Hon. Tim Fischer, MHR
Acting Prime Minister,
Minister for Trade,
Parliamentary Leader of the National Party of Australia,
Parliament House,
CANBERRA A.C.T. 2600
Hon Sir,

Listeners to the after midnight quiz show on ABC Regional Radio this morning were reminded that you had recently gone public with a proposal for a new South West Pacific/South East Indian Ocean/Tasman Sea currency to be called a "Zac" perhaps in recognition of Anzac.

Older Australians recall that the following conversions used to apply before the 14th February,1966.

Two treys make a zac
two zacs make a deener
five zacs make a half-crown
twenty zacs make ten bob

It was possible to buy as much in goods or services with a pre-1966 "zac" as can now, if one is a keen shopper, be obtained with the smaller sized "gold" coin in circulation.

What is exercising our Principals minds is - will the all-powerfuldecisionmakers in the "backroom" of politics agree to let the pollies adopt such a title for a local version of the "Euro" and if so will they also take notice of the effects of rampant inflation (especially during perhaps the Whitlam era) and choose a value for the new currency that reduces the number of "millionaires" and avoids the necessity for multiple zeros. Confusion already reigns in Australia over the significant difference between the English and the American meanings of the word "Billion".

Do you contemplate the introduction of the new currency along with the change of the Constitution (to that of a "democratic" Republic) or is it envisaged that the two moves will be quite separate?

Sincerely,

J o n M. A x t e n s

Silly Sayle

Though Omega has as usual done an excellent job of exposing Murray Sayle's inadequacies, I'd like to add a few comments.

Mr Sayle's piece, 'Bloodlines', fails dismally as good journalism. For starters his bias shows. The piece was actually quite interesting, informative, and needed no reference to One Nation to make the point that the Japanese are racists. Yet like so many in the mainstream media, Sayle just *had* to link his story to One Nation, though the party is irrelevant to his story.

If Murray Sayle has lived in Japan for 22 years one can only wonder why he has taken so long to report on Japan's racism. As the topic has long been taboo in Australia, I suspect it is only Japan's current economic woes that has permitted the right context for a discussion of its racism: bagging One Nation.

Sayle seems blissfully unaware that he has indulged in racism himself. By any measure his sentence - "Japan bases its citizenship on the ancient "ius sanguinis" the "law of blood" - like many other bad ideas, it was copied from Germany." - is highly offensive to German-speaking people who have given the world a disproportionate number of great composers, musicians, mathematicians, scientists and writers. One does not have to look far for non-German 'bad ideas': Mao, Idi Amin, Pol Pot. But of course in Sayle's PC world, only non-whites suffer racism. And only whites practise it.

After giving us the low-down on Japanese racism, Sayle makes this most illogical conclusion: "The result is, in many ways, all that a One Nation supporter could desire."

Huh? Come again? One Nation has never called for racial homogeneity in Australia. The very idea is absurd as Australia has been built on migration. I for one have previously remarked upon the variety of surnames of anotd's regular contributors. One Nation accepts that all migrants are welcome as long as they give their allegiance to Australia. That has hardly been Japan's policy. Japan never had a Snowy Mountains Scheme where men from a hundred different nationalities worked amicably together. Until the divisive policy of multiculturlism, true tolerance was Australia's strength.

Regarding the 'Asianization' of Australia, I am not the first nor the last to observe that there is a big difference between totally unacceptable personal racism and perfectly legitimate racial immigration quotas. This is what Blainey said. This is what Howard said. This is what Pauline Hanson said. And I say it too: any nation has the right to monitor its immigration intake in the interest of national and social cohesion. Steady as she goes.

Sayle's silliest sentence must be: "But when Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa recently forecast "great unemployment" he added (in English) that Japan's economy is now "a shambles, a mess" - and, although he didn't say so, One Nation economics are very much to blame."

Oh dear, that's so bad I am embarrassed. Please explain the connection, Murray. I've just edited a book, and I kept challenging the author to justify his opinions, so please justify your absurd: 'and, although he didn't say so, One Nation economics are very much to blame [for Japan's ills]. Which 'One Nation economics' have had such a detrimental effect on Japan? How can a political party which dosn't even have a seat in the Australian House of Representatives have so much influence?
