Heather Hill, will be live on Internet CHAT on the discussion board - live midday tomorrow.
The policy will be released on Thursday and will be refined and tuned, where

Preferences:
Several days
ago we mentioned how the Labor Party had been one of those involved
in "discussions" with One Nation over preferences.
No one believed us... now they do. Yesterday One Nation's candidate for
Robertson, Kevin Glancey, told the nation on Channel 10s "Meet the Press"
how the Labor Party had approached him on the issue of preferences.
On the programme Glancey told how "the Labor family" had suggested that their
views on Telstra and the GST were the same and therefore One Nation should
give Labor their preferences.
His claims were supported by David Oldfield who stated yesterday that several
Labor figures including a front bencher had approached him over the issue
of preferences.
"I took what they had to say on board but One Nation is not going to do any
deals," Oldfield said.
Meanwhile, in Pauline Hanson's seat of Blair the Labor Party has put the
Nationals above the Liberals leading to accusations that they are aiding
Ms Hanson in winning the seat (Liberal candidate Cameron Thompson coming
in second after Ms Hanson in primary vote support).
Liberal Party state director, Greg Goebel said, "What Queensland (Labor)
has done is gone against what Kim Beazley has said all along - that they
would put One Nation last and have no truck with any party that had anything
to do with One Nation. (The Nationals have exchanged preferences with One
Nation in some seats.)
"It will be on Mr Kaiser's shoulders if Pauline Hanson wins Blair. What Labor
risks here is electing Pauline Hanson."
Pauline Hanson in Tasmania:

Draft
declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples
Dear Scott,
The following extracts have been taken from the 1993
Draft Declaration on Human Rights for Indigenous People ( United Nations
Commission on Human Rights.) I have included the definitions of indigenous
and native from the Concise English Dictionary
Definition of indigenous: existing naturally in a
particular country, region, or environment; native.
Definition of native: inborn; natural to a person;
innate; (language etc ) of ones place of birth; relating to the indigenous
inhabitants of a country or area; occurring naturally. a person born in the
place indicated; a local inhabitant; an indigenous inhabitant, esp. a non-
white under colonial rule.
In the preamble to the document is the following definition
of racism ;
AFFIRMING FURTHER that all doctrines, policies and
practices based on or advocating superiority of peoples or individuals on
the basis of national origin, racial, religious, ethnic or cultural differences
are racist, scientifically false, legally invalid, morally condemnable and
socially unjust .
In light of the above definition consider the following
articles which appear to be in contradiction.
Article 4
Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinct
political, economic, social and cultural characteristics, as well as their
legal systems, while retaining their rights to participate fully, if they
so choose, in the political, economic, social and cultural life of the
State.
Article 15
Indigenous children have the right to all levels and forms of education of
the State. All indigenous peoples also have this right and the right to establish
and control their educational systems and institutions providing education
in their own languages, in a manner appropriate to their cultural methods
of teaching and learning.
Indigenous children living outside their communities
have the right to be provided access to education in their own culture and
language.
States shall take effective measures to provide appropriate
resources for these purposes.
Article 19
Indigenous peoples have the right to participate fully, if they so choose,
at all levels of decision-making in matters which may affect their rights,
lives and destinies through representatives chosen by themselves in accordance
with their own procedures, as well as to maintain and develop their own
indigenous decision-making institutions.
Article 21
Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and develop their political,
economic and social systems, to be secure in the enjoyment of their own means
of subsistence and development, and to engage freely in all their traditional
and other economic activities. Indigenous peoples who have been deprived
of their means of subsistence and development are entitled to just and fair
compensation.
Article 22
Indigenous peoples have the right to special measures for the immediate,
effective and continuing improvement of their economic and social conditions,
including in the areas of employment, vocational training and retraining,
housing, sanitation, health and social security.
Particular attention shall be paid to the rights and
special needs of indigenous elders, women, youth, children and disabled
persons.
Article 26
Indigenous peoples have the right to own, develop, control and use the lands
and territories, including the total environment of the lands, air, waters,
coastal seas, sea-ice, flora and fauna and other resources which they have
traditionally owned or otherwise occupied or used. This includes the right
to the full recognition of their laws, traditions and customs, land-tenure
systems and institutions for the development and management of resources,
and the right to effective measures by States to prevent any interference
with, alienation of or encroachment upon these rights.
Article 27
Indigenous peoples have the right to the restitution of the lands, territories
and resources which they have traditionally owned or otherwise occupied or
used, and which have been confiscated, occupied, used or damaged without
their free and informed consent. Where this is not possible, they have the
right to just and fair compensation. Unless otherwise freely agreed upon
by the peoples concerned, compensation shall take the form of lands, territories
and resources equal in quality, size and legal status.
Article 31
Indigenous peoples, as a specific form of exercising their right to
self-determination, have the right to autonomy or self-government in matters
relating to their internal and local affairs, including culture, religion,
education, information, media, health, housing, employment, social welfare,
economic activities, land and resources management, environment and entry
by non-members, as well as ways and means for financing these autonomous
functions.
Article 33
Indigenous peoples have the right to promote, develop and maintain their
institutional structures and their distinctive juridical customs, traditions,
procedures and practices, in accordance with internationally recognized human
rights standards.
Article 38
Indigenous peoples have the right to have access to adequate financial and
technical assistance, from States and through international cooperation,
to pursue freely their political, economic, social, cultural and spiritual
development and for the enjoyment of the rights and freedoms recognized in
this Declaration
Article 39
Indigenous peoples have the right to have access to and prompt decision through
mutually acceptable and fair procedures for the resolution of conflicts and
disputes with States, as well as to effective remedies for all infringements
of their individual and collective rights. Such a decision shall take into
consideration the customs, traditions, rules and legal systems of the indigenous
peoples concerned.
Have a good day............ Steve
BEAZLEY'S RETROSPECTIVE CAPITAL GAINS
TAX.
Dear One Nation Supporters,
I often feel that policy is tossed into the ring without
any thought whatsoever. During the past couple of weeks I have been concerned
about Mr. Beazley's retrospective Capital Gains Tax, not only because it
is another broken Labour promise - and there have been many of them, but
the way I see it is seems to me that should we be unfortunately enough to
find Mr. Beazley living in the lodge we could find ourselves in the position
of children even having to pay capital gains tax on their mother's wedding
ring. I think a lot of people will be having a close look at their wills
and rewriting them. Just even mentioned a loved item could attract capitals
gains tax. Wow! What a sneaky devil he is. So this is the Labour Party's
idea of sneaking in a death tax. Well you won't be getting any preferences
of mine Kim. You can go fly a kite!!
I also just worked out also that as a pensioner the
GST means I am up for 10% more to get my house painted and some drainage
work done. Thanks a lot John Howard!
Looks like there is only one way to go - ONE NATION!!
Go get 'em Pauline!!!!

Congratulations
Scott
HI, I'll take this opportunity to congratulate Pauline
on her effort in Rockhampton last Thursday night. Judy and I were both there.
We found the media behaviour bordering on the offensive and intimidatory,
in terms of pointing bright camera lights in the eyes of those signing in
at the beginning of the meeting.
To my mind such tactics are peurile and invasive, and
I feel it is only a matter of time before a writ is issued against those
responsible. Citizens attending a public meeting in what is supposed to be
a Western democracy are not obliged to put up with latter-day McCarthyism,
or some half-baked antipodean clone of its mindless gestapo tactics.
Good on you Pauline - the truth always hurts those
trying to suppress it. Keep taking the fight up to them. Look forward to
your leading a much-increased One Nation presence in the Federal Parliament,
despite the antics of the two major factions of the self-styled international
brigade: Labor ( surely an oxymoron) and Liberal ( only in looking after
their own!!)
Please give this the widest circulation.....

To the man who swore at me
==========================
We are not that different, you and I.
In other times we might share a round in a pub
And talk of sport and films and books.
But because I am brave enough to put
The name of a brave woman on my chest and put
A leaflet in your box
Your heart fills with mindless hate.
"Who's that for?" You asked
Pleasantly enough.
"Pauline!" I said
Pleasantly enough.
"Pauline, Pauline HANSON?"
I could feel the hate and prejudice.
"Get it out! Get it OUT, GET IT OUT RIGHT NOW!"
As if my leaflet were contagion, and might poison
Your mailbox, your home and heart
With hate and prejudice.
Too late for that!
Your sweet little daughter got it out and gave it
back.
I almost told her go and give your Dad a hug,
But who can conquer mindless hate
With boundless love?
"She's the source of all division and hate!"
You shrieked as I walked off
Smiling at your lack of insight.
You are entitled to your opinion
Though you are wrong.
If you don't like her, don't vote for her.
We have one vote each, you and I,
And our vote counts for exactly the same
Whether our hair be red, our skins brown, or our hearts
Filled with hate and prejudice.
You are wrong, and you doubtless tell
Others over beer in pub
Or coffee on campus.
Pauline's words were on the air, but they had been
In my heart these many years.
We are all equals
Whether our hair be red, our skins brown, or our hearts
Filled with hate and ignorance.
She says it often enough
But you can't hear.
Like the leaflet in your mailbox
Her words in your ears are contagion
And you must shut them out
Lest you be poisoned.
You stamp your little foot and swear
But if you would only hear her words
You'd be aghast at your prejudice.
Two little words unsaid.
Will you say sorry to Pauline and me
On October 3?
Peter Mackay
Use my vote wisely
Dear Sir
My name is Ian McIntosh and I am a naturalised Australian.
I was born in Rhodesia, now called Zimbabwe and came to this country in 1983
after meeting and marrying an Australian while I was living overseas in
London.
I am now divorced but have two Australian born children
to call my own.
Though born in Rhodesia / Zimbabwe I am of Scottish
descent, my parents having gone out to Rhodesia in 1955 to make a new life
for themselves out under the Afrcan sun. In those days it was a case of Empire
building. Because Rhodesia like Australia at that time enticed and encouraged
skilled tradesmen and other professional people to make their home in the
new land. Australia too, enticed new emigrants from Europe with the $10 or
was it 10 pound assisted fare.
I do not know how much you know of recent African Political
affairs say from 1960 onwards but I would say that I know much more than
you do, just from the fact that I have lived through this period in African
history.
As a white Rhodeisan living under the so called Ian
Smith white racist regime I can tell you that I was indeed a proud citizen
of that country at the time. I was a member of the Rhodesian defence force
and fought in a bushwar for 6 years ... honestly believing that I was defending
my country from becoming a socialist/communist enclave. As both Magabe and
Nkomo gained support from China and Russia respectively.
As history will now show those two so called
revolutionaries have had to become Pragmitists due to external pressures
from the IMF. I honestly believe that the IMF or world bank has become the
modren colonial masters for many many countries around the globe, and that
includes both developing and third world countries.
Pauline why have previous Australian Governments sold
out the Australian birthright to be an independant and self producing country
... what hidden treaties have previous Govts signed that we as a people have
no knowlege about ... may I site just one ... the Lima Agreement ... which
if I am not wrong signed Australia manufacturing rights away for the so called
benefit of the developing tiger economies of Asia and around the world.
I know have to listen to all the major political parties
telling me that you are racist and anti asian ... but for my money you are
not and are just looking after Australia's interests whether it is black
or white!!!
I too ask as you do ... why is so much of tax payers
money being spent on Aboriginal affairs and so little getting through to
the average Aboringal????
Why should the Aboriginal or any other Nationality
be treated as a special human being within the Australian community as god
has given them all the attributes that constitutes all of humanitiy. I do
not believe for one moment that they should be treated with kit gloves ...
they are part of the Australian fabric just like us newly introduced Australians
and in my books must strive to make their mark within the ONE NATION that
we so proudly call Australia.
This is why I will vote for you and your party because
I beleive at long last you are voicing the true concerns of us average
Australians, no matter what race or cultural background ... we must all consider
ourselves as belonging to a ONE NATION and not just a mish mash of
cultures.
I honestly believe that there is reverse racial
discrimination here in Australia at this time ... if this was not the case
then why is it that Aboriginal kids get paid by govt funds to go to school
...and my son does not ... My son of 11yrs has just asked me why this is
so.
Do you have an answer for him on this ????
What would U do to equalise the situation?????
As far as taxation is concerned ...I believe that we
are taxed too heavily here in Aus and the taxation system is made much to
complicated so that the average Joe will not know how much he / she is being
riped off.
I agree with you that the taxation system has to be
simplified ... whether it is the Debt Tax system or the 2% Tax system ...
so long at it helps small business and Australian owned manufacturing businesses
.... that is all I am concerned about .. to hell with the thinking that we
must tow rag ourselves to the global ecconony.
Keep speaking up for us Aussies no matter what colour,
Australia deserves to be the power in the world that it should rightlfully
be ... and not some third world counrty dictated to by the MIF or some other
world force.
We should be seen as a ONE NATION and not as a devisive
Multural Cultutal Nation as many of the do good doers would have us
believe.
A fair go for all Australians no matter what Colour,
Creed, or Relgion that is why I support you in ... you want Australia to
be ONE NATION and so do I.
I hope that you will find time to write to a fellow
Australian.
All the best with the forth coming election ... for
you have my vote ... all I ask is that you use it wisely!!!!
Ian McIntosh.
Democrat promises
Oh dear, the Democrats have learned nothing. On today's
news I heard that a key Democrat election promise is to INCREASE funding
for the bullying and destructive Human Rights Commission. Should we put Democrats
last on the ballot paper? One Nation suporters have to realistically ask
themselves do they want a Coalition or a Labor government? How shall we best
secure the result we want?
Would a sympathetic political analysist (and I know
there are a few of you) please explain the best tactics for One Nation
supporters? I realise it is going to be different electorate by electorate,
but some overall guidance as well as specific examples of how preferences
will work in particular electorates would be much appreciated.
Antonia Feitz
Pauline and Party,
I was at your first meeting ever held in Perth - organised
by Paul Filing. So I have followed your progress with intrest, although I
do not agree with everything you say, however without doubt you are the only
one that will stand up for Australia.
I have worked as an Engineer in Malaysia and Brunei
and I can tell you that they are very racist. The Chinese and Indian
communities are kept down and are not allowed to own a business with out
the majority share holder being a Malay. Malays get preferential Bank loans,
pay lower intresr rates and get the pick of the best housing. Chinese, not
being allowed to purchase any housing before it is first offered to a
Malay. Malays get preferential education/jobs/ promotion etc etc. I worked
for a leading Malaysian Petrochemical Company.
I only knew of one or two Chinese and no Indian employees
as all jobs are essentially reserved for Malays.
Please tell the Australian people the truth about how
rasist the Malays realy are! The Malay cannot stand the truth! I know from
experience how hypercritical they really are. Confront them with the truth
on these matters - and ask them to justify their policies! They will
howl!!
Please stand up for Australia - for no one else
will.
As a migrant myself I understand only too well what
you are talking about. I decided to come to Australia in 1982 because I
recognised and agreed with the 'then' Australian ideals. I did not come here
to become multicultural!! I could have stayed in the UK and done that.
Good Luck in the Election.
One Nation needs a good result to wake Australia up.
We should stand on our owe two feet and do what is best for Australia. And
if the Malaysian don't like it - tough -just remind them of how they do
things!
GOOD LUCK
Danny
"Great" debate
Tonight marked another milestone in Australia's political
history.
The usual verbal reposte was there, but unlike any
other debate between "Government" and "Opposition" - they were debating one
another with a view to win, not the votes of the opposing party, but those
of a third.
This is a very important point, one that I shall bear
in mind when I cast my vote, not for either of them, but to the "third" on
October 3.
Regards,
Anthony Mare (Ant)
Voting
Hi there
Good job guys keep up the good work!!!
Does One Nation say anything regarding the changing
of the voting system. I have heard lots of people talking about how useless
the system is and i was enraged when i heard that Libs were going to swap
preferences with Labs in WA......
*LETS THE PEOPLE'S VOICE BE HEARD..ON OCTOBER
3RD**
GO PAULINE AND ONE NATION!!!
Regards
James
Another perfect day in paradise.
Have a good one.
