More letter - 5th June 1998

Subject: From Graham West WERRIBEE VICTORIA.

Keep up the good work. You have more support than you think than you have.

You are going back to the old issues, that people want to here.

I also believe that if you are committed to any type of trial, that carries a term of Imprisonment, and you are not an AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN, then we should send you back to where you came from. Regardless of your nationality. Be it English. Asian or European. If you commit the crime you go HOME to your own PRISON SYSTEM.

WE also like your idea of keeping with the Party of No Further Immigration.

We do not have jobs for people now. Let alone those that come into Melbourne Airport in the dark of night from GOD KNOWS WHERE.

If you come to GEELONG or WERRIBEE I will be there to help support you and your PARTY.

Ex Democrat President for Lalor

Subject: Its Time(no apologies to Gough)

The news on the ABC tonight carried a story about the Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean communities, 40 Race groups in all giving the Federal and State government an ultimatum.........withdraw preferences to One Nation .or they will withdraw their individual ethnic community's support for the coalition.....

SILENCE from the media and John Howard.
SILENCE from the Anti Discrimination Commission.

you mean it is now allowed to threaten the government and the Australian electoral system by voting along racial lines?????

similarly, is it now allowed to publicly recommend threatening a party because you are Caucasian or anglo-Saxon and a candidate happens to be standing for a party whose policies you disagree with, you will use your( race) numbers to bring down a government????? don't they call that White Supremacy??

If people are going to call "Racist " all the time, lets at least define who and what a racist is! Being non Asian or Non aboriginal is not a prerequisite.

I cant believe what i am seeing and hearing!!

The frightening part is the arrogance of promoting that sort of nonsense!! I know of nobody who intends to vote ON who is anti Asian. They are however , Pro-Australian.

It is becoming obvious that some people use the term "Australian" for convenience only, pulling it off and one to suit their motives. Any anti- Asian feeling that might be out there is purely due to these self interest racial organisations own creation!!

Arent we all getting tired of the continuing racist activities in this country.

Is it so bad, so below ones race/culture, in return for citizenship , to integrate and be an Australian????

"poor fella my country" you may well lament!!!! PS.dont bother trying the racist tag on me either, it doesn't cut , we have people who have aboriginal heritage and a native born Philipino in our extended family. They seem happy to be just Aussies.

Subject: Election

As a New Zealander now making Australia our home (we have purchased a Travel Agency and employ two staff)I have watched with interest what Pauline Hanson has been saying. What is happening in Australia has already happened in NZ and there is no doubt that the present system of Government needs a good shake up. I think that the One Nation Party is on the right track and Pauline is saying publicly what the majority is saying privately. It is a sad day when one is too afraid to speak their mind in fear of being branded a racist a bigot or a deranged person. I watched the confrontation between Ray Martin and Pauline last night and I was please to say that although he had Pauline on the back foot over accurate facts he did not win the debate. With anything like that one has to have the exact facts to be 100% accurate as the old saying goes it is very difficult to argue against the truth. Things I would like to see Changed is the enormous benefits politician and local councillors give themselves, rates should be abolished and money allotted to each council and they must be accountable on how the money is spent. Not trips overseas costing $1,300,000.00 and the tax system needs to be thrown out and bring in a new system tomorrow. It is a joke to say that it will take two to three years to sort the tax system out. The amount of money that is wasted on idiotic projects is beyond me like $52,000.000.00 on a new arts center in Brisbane, that money could go along way to sort out the health system

Politically Incorrect mailing list

Dear Sir,

Two years ago I wrote, and had published, an article on 'The Hanson Phenomenon' in a zine devoted to heterodoxy called "Pinc" (politically incorrect). Today there were two postings on Pauline Hanson on their list. So, to fill them in, I sent off the following which has been accepted. Long live the internet!

"Mrs Hanson, who hit the headlines in 1996 with a claim in parliament that Asian immigrants were swamping Australia, had suffered from a drop in popularity in recent months."

Wrong. When the campaign of hysterical verbal and even physical abuse failed to silence her and her supporters, the media imposed a blackout on Pauline Hanson. Though she travelled around Australia attracting hundreds of people to her meetings, all documented with pictures on Scott Balson's "Australian News of the Day" internet paper, not a peep was heard from the mainstream media. She issued many press releases which more often than not only ever made it to Balson's paper and her own website. The story has been an expose of the tawdry ethics of journalists, and more interestingly, of the wonderful subversive nature of the net. For the information still flowed, and people were still able to speak their minds. People photocopied articles for those with no internet access.

Rennie also wrote: "But voters are split between Labour and the conservative Liberal-National coalition and small parties could hold the balance of power in Queensland".

Problem. The two main parties - the Liberal-National coalition and Labor - have identical policies on most important social and economic issues. Pauline Hanson has articulated the frustration of Australians who have had no political choice, let alone a voice for at least 15 years. The PC 'analysis' of Pauline Hanson's rise has been an unchanging mantra that she appeals to decent but misguided people who are worried, anxious, fearful of change, along with those who are so-called racists. This is total hogwash. Hanson supporters come mainly from the ranks of the hard-working, self-sufficient small businessmen and women who are fed up with everything from the indigenous guilt industry to the demands of homosexuals that their relationships be accorded the same status as marriage (such a bill is currently before the Senate). They are seeing their country replacing its national ethos of a 'fair go', with the divisiveness of multiculturalism. Australia is being sold off without so much as a by-your-leave. Both parties are uncritically committed to these policies.

I have been trying to make this point in the national press for months with no success. But polling for the coming state election in Queensland has shown that Hanson's support has swollen. The opinion-makers (such self delusion!), social commentators, journalists and various experts have suddenly realised that they are going to look like total morons for their blackout. They have realised that the hoi polloi might click; they might start wondering why the 'experts', who had proclaimed Hanson politically dead, got it so wrong. Could there have been censorship? Hence the rush to spread her name - they have to remind the city electorates that she exists. And quickly.

So she's front page every day now, always a picture, the focus of the cartoonists. And guess what? She's even back as a subject in the letters page. In today's Australian there finally appeared the following letter of mine: "Can I spell it out in easy words? The reason for the rise and rise of Pauline Hanson is that the Liberal and Labor parties have had identical policies on important social and economic issues. In the main, the Democrats and Greens [fringe parties] do not appeal to middle Australia. So that leaves a very big hole. It has been filled by One Nation. Simple.

In a democracy people are allowed to disagree about things, even about economic and social policies. So can we have an end to the patronising rubbish that ON supporters are all poor little people who are afraid of change. On the contrary it looks like they're rearing for a change from the policies that have been faithfully followed by both Liberal and Labor for the past umpteen years. It's called democracy, folks.

Antonia Feitz".

The elites are running round like headless chooks. They're calling anybody who supports ON 'racist', But nobody cares anymore. The word has virtually become meaningless it has been abused so much. It seems to be a term for anybody who dissents from the PC line on Aboriginal issues. Absurdly even people who are Aboriginal can be racists. In Balson's paper today there appeared a letter from an Aborigine who is One Nation supporter. Understanding who are the real racists he wrote [unedited]: "The racist people trying to stop ON having free speech, and those against ON's anti-racist policies, and would prefer to spend tax money on a racial basis, has misread Australians. You see Australia is not a racist country. And we don't believe in putting people first because of race.

For instance two of my cousins are going to court for growing Pot. One has Legal Aid, the other was told he is not entitled to legal aid. One is black, one is white. My black cousins is a brick paver, who works maybe average 3-4 days a week, and my white cousins works for him for less money on less days of the week. My white cousins has had no education what so ever, and has a speech impediment. But because he is white he will not be getting help.

Because of my family make-up of white and black Fellas, we have a different opinion than the solely black families that are willing to be racist. I think I have the natural ability to get by in life quite well. I don't believe that because I am part Aboriginal I need a head start to take a white man on. Or that I need a white Uni. professor or student in far removed eastern states, handling my political battles. Q: do you believe in Labor's policies of giving money out due to color of skin or race?

Bravo, Mosley.

How about listening to what Pauline Hanson has to say, and her supporters. I feel she has honesty and much more deserving of the title of an *honest* politician. Than many others in Australia.

I am not affiliated with ANY political party, and I don't wish to be.

I am sick to death of the Politically Correct bullshit, that has been a mainstay of both the ALP, Liberal Party, Nationals, and Democrats, and other power hungry political parties.

Pauline has the guts to say what is on her mind and that of her constituents. and I wish her well in the coming elections.
