The
2002 Inverell Forum was a great success once again. The speakers
were first rate and a synopsis of their speeches follow.
For me, the camaraderie of the four days together is the
highlight of the Forum, especially the social day on the Monday.
This really is the place to meet and converse with
everyone who is anyone in the freedom movement. It repeatedly
seems to spotlight any innovation in conservative thought and
action before anyone else. It prides itself on being the cutting
edge in Australia. By their comments, “our friends” at Bnai
Brith and elsewhere think so too.
It has been observed that one can best evaluate a person’s
worth by the quality of his enemies!
Wayne Wadsworth
Wayne
lives in Nimbin. He believes this experiment in a new type of
co-operative society has not worked. It is not uncommon to see
drug addicts roaming the streets and bloody brawls in the main
street, etc.
He believes that marijuana should be
legalized. He believes prohibition does not work. Hemp has
thousands of uses. All strains of hemp do not have the drug
content THC in them.
The history of hemp shows that the Chinese and
Indians used it for paper and fabric, and in the USA it was grown
and used up until the turn of the century for the making of paper
money. Dupont and his cronies lobbied to have it made illegal to
protect the emerging petrochemical industry both in the USA and
throughout the world.
There is a good video available called “Billion Dollar Crop”
available from the Nimbin Hemp Embassy.
The products from hemp include sun block,
fabrics, shoes, chipboard, building blocks, plastics, and oil.
Basically anything that can be made from
petrochemicals can be made from hemp. Its main advantage is that
it can be grown and processed locally.
Jeremy Lee
This
is the 38th year of speaking by Jeremy.
The history of Australia during the depression
shows that the people did many of the things we are doing now and
they learnt many lessons out of it. They were dealing with the
banking question and with making members of Parliament into
proper representatives and the danger of parties. All that is not
new. There were over 250 groups meeting every week in Sydney to
discuss what was going on. There were huge debates with
economists and politicians because there was no television then
and politicians had to come and meet the people face to face.
We are still discussing creating more jobs. We
should be discussing releasing people out of jobs if we had the
right money system. There was a conference in 1995 in San
Francisco where all the great economists and bankers and
politicians met to discuss the problem of being able to produce
all the products needed by the world with only 20% of the
workforce. What will the rest do to occupy themselves? We don’t
need everybody working. We need people to be released from work
into fulltime self-chosen activities. We then need an income for
them to be able to do that. That income can’t come from taxes
because we have only 20% of the population to tax.
We must have a vision of what it is we want
and then we must know what we have to do to get it. The first
lesson is that we can’t get it by getting into power ourselves.
It is not a power game. Parties and power movements are a
disaster. Pauline Hanson is an example. Once they obtained some
power they were open to infiltration. When Jim Killen was running
for parliament he attended League of Rights seminars and we
helped him. As soon as he got into parliament he could not do
anything as a backbencher but as soon as he became a Minister
that is the time he would help. He promised to take a stand on
Rhodesia. Did he ever take a stand? No. You can’t tell if a
person is going to be any good or not before an election. Nothing
will change in Parliament until the change has occurred amongst
the people first.
These words were written 45 years ago. “What
is left of our civilisation will not be maintained; what has been
wrecked will not be restored by imagining that some new political
gadget will be invented, some new political formula improvised
which will save it. Our civilisation can be maintained and
restored only by remembering and rediscovering the truth and by
re-establishing the virtuous habits on which it was founded.
There is no use looking into the blank future for some new and
fancy revelation of what man needs in order to live. The
revelation has been made; by it man conquered the jungle about
him and the barbarian within him. The elementary principles of
work and sacrifice and duty and the transcendent criteria of
truth, justice and righteousness and the grace of love and
charity are the things that have made men free. Men can keep
their freedom and reconquer it only by these means. These are the
terms stipulated in the nature of things for the salvation of men
on this earth and only in this profound, this stern and tested
wisdom, shall we find once more the light and courage that we
need.”
Freedom potentials is a training school
that starts off with simple basis ideas about the constitution.
What is it? This is what it says and this is how we have to
safeguard it. It is built on a series of principles in which all
leaders are servants. The programme will be run in small groups
of 15 to 20 people over 2 days. We hope by the end of it they
will at least know which side they are on. With people educated
and in place all over the country we can then concentrate on one
issue, i.e. property rights or rights to a jury.
Nothing will change until Christianity or any
other faith changes from being a theory to one issue; is it
actually alive and does it change things. Has it changed anything
in my life? Can it change things around? That is where the rubber
hits the road. To turn this country around we have to reach and
activate 5% and that 5% will be decisive as to whether this
country lives or dies.
Our economic figures are worse than Argentina.
When they decide to pull the plug we are going to have absolute
chaos. The man or woman who has taken the trouble to equip
themselves with the attributes of leadership will be absolutely
decisive at that time.
What is the difference between work and
leisure? Leisure is the most creative period of your life and out
of which the great civilisations have grown. The great cathedrals
in England were built in leisure time and there wasn’t a penny
paid in wages for them. At present we are creating activities
that are destructive, often polluting and not suited to a
person’s God given talents.
The
New Queensland Constitution
Ray Smyth
We
get our rights from God. The Queen is there to uphold our rights
and we form a little government to look after those rights. That
little government is getting out of control.
The pillars of private property are (1) the
right to sell, gift, and bequeath your property. (2) The right of
unrestricted use of your property. (3) The right to deny access
to your property. (4) The right to hold your property without
impost. If any of those pillars are removed, theft has occurred.
In Queensland, Mr Beatty is virtually a
dictator and has decided to rip up our constitution and rewrite
it. The question is who owns the constitution? Does it belong to
the administration of the day or is it a more enduring thing
rooted in the historical heritage of the nation? That is the
question that is facing us today.
If golfers like to play golf with others
rather than by themselves, they gather to form a golf club. Rules
are agreed to and a constitution is written and a committee is
formed to administer the rules. What would happen if the
committee decided that golf is not good for the members? Baseball
is better. They reprint the rules that golf can no longer be
played; baseball is the game. That is the situation in
Queensland. They have changed the rules and surrounded themselves
with police and the judiciary and they spit in your face and say
baseball is the game.
What are we to do; gather together as a group
and throw this crowd out? Take our clubs and go to NSW? Most
people in QLD will learn to love baseball. We are only a small
group. There was only a small group at Marathon and Marathon
changed the world. There was only a small group at Valley Forge
but that changed the history of America. But it was done by
people who were willing to stand up and say, “I hold my rights
from God, not from you, and I will stand on my rights to the
death.”
Law should reflect reality. The right to
self-defence is innate. No politician can take it from you. That
is the common law. We must now have this passed through
parliament again to restate it.
Jim D
There
are a lot of good teachings in the Jehovah’s Witness church and
generally they aspire to a high moral standard.
Things either are or they aren’t. That is
the way they think. There is no middle ground; no grey areas or
other possibilities. Cults use this type of reasoning and dwell
on the fears of individuals. They raise problems and incite your
fear and then supply a very simple, soothing tranquillising
answer. The Jehovah Witnesses will tell you that a new order will
soon be coming to the earth, but they don’t tell you
immediately that if you don’t join them you and your family
will be destroyed by their God. They may compliment you on your
home or garden but amongst themselves they will discuss who is
going to get your house once God has destroyed you. They may
welcome your expression of your faith but privately condemn it as
filth and perversion.
In the 1960’s organ transplants were
forbidden by the Watchtower Society. In the mid 70’s Jehovah
changed His mind. This was too late for some people who needed
organ transplants and failed to get them. In 1974 certain sexual
practices were condemned as sin. Some of those people were
expelled and families broken up. Some years later they reversed
this decree. Apparently Jehovah had changed His mind again. But
those who had been expelled were no longer welcome back. If they
doubt your sincerity they will ask you if you believe everything
taught by them and whether Jehovah is directing this and only
this organization. Like Orwell’s 1984, the Witnesses change
their history in later publications. He who controls the past
controls the future. And he who controls the present controls the
past.
There are steps to the relinquishment of
self-determination. (1) Acceptance. (2) Trust after testing their
teachings. (3) Reliance, asking for advice in times of trouble.
(4) Dependence, this is the organization that is teaching me the
truth. (5) Abuse, inability to share in family celebrations. Also
abuse from the hierarchy. What are the effects?
Cognitive dissonance is the inattention
resulting from the attempt to hold two contrasting thoughts at
the same time. This causes aberrant behaviour in one way or
another.
There is much said about blood transfusion
deaths being a form of suicide. This is not correct. Many of
those people loved life and wanted to live. But because of their
absolute obedience to religious teaching they died. They are held
up as heroes, especially the young ones. There would have been
thousands of individuals who have gone through that trauma over
the last 50 years.
The Commonwealth is the issuing authority for
marriage celebrants. They have a duty of care for all the
families who get broken up because of these religions. Other
levels of government give various concessions to religious
groups. Why don’t the churches pay rates? The family Court when
tied up with questions of child custody, most often has reasons
of religious differences. This is not just a problem with
Jehovah’s Witnesses.
For 10 years the Watchtower Society in
contravention of its own stand of neutrality had been an official
NGO member of the United Nations Organization. They consider the
UNO to be the beast of Revelation. They have since ceased their
association.
No
Juries, no Justice
John
Wilson
The people have sovereignty. Our power has been taken away from us. The Courts Legislation (Civil Juries) Act has been passed and is in operation. It takes away your right to trial by jury. What is the purpose of a court? To administer justice, not to enforce the law. The reason we have juries is because they are the voice and conscience of the people. Juries overturn bad laws. Judges say they can’t do that but they have had that right since juries were first formed. Justice is the protection of rights and the punishment of wrongs. That comes from the Oxfords dictionary of law. We are to take our grievances to court and yet the Supreme Court of NSW has actually put out a leaflet that says “Do not bring your grievances to court.” They are undermining the very system. According to English common law, a judge and a jury constitute a court. There cannot be a judge alone unless you say, “I choose not to have a jury.” This is in legislation. Both the plaintive and the defendant must agree not to have a jury. In my case they will not allow a jury because I will subpoena the judges and question them in front of the jury.
Your
Rights
Bevan O'Regan
I made the comment to a NSW Farmers meeting that “A modern statute of law cannot overrule an ancient law”. This resulted from the NSW Conservation Act and the Wilderness Act claiming to remove our rights. They took me at my word and said go and get some proof. I faxed a QC friend in London. He returned an answer. The opinion boosted the right to farm. Property law governs use. Western NSW has western lands lease. On those leases there is a clause that says you can’t plough the land and you can’t cut trees unless the Minister gives you permission. You go into the lease knowing this. There is now a National Parks proposal called the 30,30,40. You can only farm 30%, graze 40% and shut 30% up for posterity. 29 properties have been claimed as wilderness in the Narrabri area. There is an 800-year-old forest law that covers the right to farm. It is article 29 of Magna Carta. We have to disprove these quasi acts of parliament.
Shaken
Baby Syndrome on Shaky Ground
Dr Viera Scheibner
My
2nd late husband was a biomedical engineer
specializing in patient monitoring systems. I asked him to
develop a breathing monitor for babies. Everyone knew that
vaccines were stressing babies but there was much more to it than
that. When we approached the profession they were evasive. They
looked at us with hatred. They knew that vaccines were killing
babies. They just didn’t want us to tell the parents or anybody
else. They destroyed the business with the monitor. Because of
their attitude I became more interested. I am not afraid and I
will research things I don’t know very much about. I studied
more than 30,000 pages of medical papers to write my first book
on vaccination. Today it is more like 100,000 pages and there is
no end to it. Everything I talk about has been published and
proved by medical research. In 1996 I started getting letters
from lawyers particularly in the UK and USA asking me to write an
expert report being an expert on vaccination and SIDS, for these
cases of shaken baby syndrome.
When a baby dies from vaccination they accuse
the parents or nannies of causing it. There was a conference in
Sydney on shaken baby syndrome last year. They only produced the
prosecution side and they were ridiculing the defence. In the
centre on shaken baby syndrome at Salt Lake City Utah I am the
number one enemy. That is a complement. They did not invite me to
give a talk but I challenged every speaker including the feared
prosecutor for Utah. I have prepared close to 60 reports for
court cases but mostly they drop the case when they have my
report. The prosecutor Mr Parish postponed the case I was to
attend in Utah after I sent them my report. This is very wrong.
After killing your baby they accuse you of shaking it and killing
it that way. These defendants are very depressed people and so I
have to make them laugh.
Before 1985 it was only the triple vaccine so
children had minimal pathological findings when they died from
it. They called it SIDS. But in America they call it Sudden
Immunisation Death Syndrome. With the added hepatitis B etc they
are getting worse pathological findings. I am surprised any child
survives at all. They now have brain and retinal haemorrhages,
which are usually subdural or subarachnoid, so that is why they
are accusing parents of shaking these children. When I started
getting the reports of these babies they were almost always the
same; carbon copies of each other and the parents were at a loss
as to what had happened. They can end up in prison and still not
know what happened to their baby. No one is shaking these babies.
You can’t shake a baby to cause those injuries. Isn’t it
co-incidental that all these people from all over the world from
different educational and economic levels all know exactly how to
shake a baby to cause these identical injuries and always after
vaccination never after.
When I consulted the medical literature I
found that when experiments were done on animals, primates, with
vaccines they got certain types of injuries, and surprise,
surprise, they are the same as in those shaken babies. This was
already published in 1973. They knew even then. When they want to
develop encephalomyelitis they inject them with the commercial
DPT vaccine. What else. When those poor animals develop the
encephalomyelitis with retinal and subdural haemorrhages they
never call it shaken rat or shaken monkey syndrome.
The first thing the police confiscate is the
vaccination certificate. Why? It is the only documented evidence
in the case. They know the vaccinations are causing the deaths
but they think they can get away with this forever. The
vaccinations don’t even work when they don’t kill the baby.
Australian doctors get about $84 for every
vaccinated child. Don’t believe what the doctor says.
Polio vaccine is the worst because it is
contaminated with monkey virus. This causes brain tumour. They
claimed to clean the virus out of the vaccine but they didn’t.
They only temporarily deactivated it. You can’t believe
anything. Whatever they tell you, the opposite is the truth. And
then they confess on my shoulder. Gee, I feel sorry for them.
The common diseases such as measles, mumps,
and rubella whooping cough are essential for children to get.
They need measles to achieve proper speech development. Mumps
prevents ovarian cancer. Having measles is good too. Not having
measles is bad.
I would take Dr Wooldridge on. I would say you
are an educated man; a highly intelligent man; how can you
believe this crap?
Research shows that vaccinations do not
immunise but make the recipient more susceptible to the disease.
That is why children get whooping cough from the vaccine. That is
why they get all sorts of other diseases. The vaccine weakens the
immune system and it may last for weeks, months or even years.
You see it in your vaccinated children. They are sick all the
time. The profession benefits from the disease. It should not be
a growth industry. We should have fewer and fewer hospitals. It
is no credit to the medical profession at all to have more
hospitals.
Betty Luks
Betty
is the current National Director of the Australian League of
Rights.
Heresy
is defined as an imbalance of one portion of a truth. As we
battle we must learn that there are people we agree with, but
with whom we violently disagree with over one particular issue.
For me the role of the King or Queen is as the spiritual focus of
the nation because his or her role is under God. From time to
time we strayed as a people and had to return to a constitutional
point that worked. The development of our constitution as a
result has taken hundreds of years to develop. The word king
comes from the old English root kind or kinder meaning one of us,
but the leader. Under the king come the advisors or if we go back
far enough, the aristocracy. They were to be the custodians of
the culture. But barbarians and base, crass men have taken those
roles over. They have drawn down a shutter between the people and
the Queen. While we may say that the Queen is not doing her duty
within this structure, neither are we.
If one looks about us at mothers we notice
that a mother can give more to life than she takes if she is
secure in her status. The same goes for a father. The drive then
of the enemy is to remove any status with this thing called
equality. There is no such thing as equality but in the process
we have lost the real quality, which is integrity and character
of us as a people.
One of the initiatives of the League was to
produce a pledge to the Queen reminding her that we acknowledge
her as our Queen and we look to her as our protector of our laws,
institutions and systems and ask her to act to safeguard them. If
you have complaints about the Queen and you don’t let her know
your will, then the only will she knows is that which comes
through Parliament. If the Parliament does not represent that
which we want, that is our responsibility. We cannot have freedom
without accountability and responsibility. Why blame the Queen?
Within this constitutional monarchy, democracy
has its place. It is within constitutional monarchy that we look
for our rights and insist on our rights. If we analyse our
problems today it is invariably our right to property, our right
to free speech, our right to have a representative in Parliament
that have been taken from us. Democracy only has a reality where
there is a family life; where the family is independent by owning
the means of life.
The final sanction we have is the courage and
integrity to say enough is enough. That sanction is only yet a
grain of mustard seed and yet it has the potential for life and
growth because we are a complex association of associations.
We all went to sleep and trusted government,
trusted doctors, the education system; sent our children to
universities where they were taught an alien philosophy, and
alien system, and then wondered what went wrong. It is up to us
to stop blaming our Queen; stop blaming the constitution; stop
blaming the politicians and start to do something about it
ourselves. Many families and individuals are feeling isolated in
their individual trials and battles. We can’t fight your
battles for you, but we may be able to assist. We are going to
develop a website and call it Australian women online. It will be
an educational tool and a service for those who want to list
themselves on the website. Subjects of interest will be listed
alphabetically from drug addiction to home schooling and
individuals and associations can come together for mutual
co-operation and assistance.
Bureaucratic
Nightmares
Ken McFadzen
What
we need are people who will do something. We want the totally
uninitiated and get them involved. The Inverell Forum is good to
attend but it is a form of entertainment. I would like to ask you
what have you done since last forum?
We find intimidation does work. While the
undesirables are still there, their life is not as good as it
could be. We hope at the next election that no matter who gets in
they will do as they are told. We want representatives. Presently
we hold public meetings and we can’t get any information out of
our council representatives. We have connected to the Free
Association at Mackay who are also fighting for our rights.
We had sewerage trouble last year. Both the
council and we did a survey and between 75% and 95% of the people
were against sewerage. That was not good enough; they just had to
keep going. They hired consultants who wanted to survey our
septic systems and bores etc. We decided not to allow them onto
our properties. We were successful. We are at the stage where
councillors will not talk to us. When we go to the council office
the CEO has the police on standby. We set up our ute on the side
of the road when they had their federation day parade. We put a
dunny on top with a dummy’s legs hanging out and pertinent
comments about the mayor and the proposed sewerage system.
We held a demonstration and the Council forbid
any of the workers to come to the demonstration. One man came and
the next morning he was summoned to the office. He knew he was in
trouble for going, so he made an appointment and hour earlier as
a ratepayer to speak to the CEO about the pipe in his front yard.
He tore strips off the CEO and was never chastised about the
demonstration.
Apparently the council can’t sell you up for
failure to pay rates under three years. I feel we should all
withhold our rates until one day under three years. We can starve
them out this way.
Irrationality
of Economic Rationalism
Neil Baird
Neil
edits and published a daily email News Report from 12 to 22
pages.
The news report has been going since January
2000. In that period of time there have been 483 news reports.
7500 articles have been published and I have received upwards of
three times that number to select 7500. There is probably
another14000 that were not even opened.
Information is one of the keys to what we are
doing as well as raising money and organising, etc. Being able to
see what is happening all over the world enables us to see more
of the jigsaw puzzle in more of its entirety. When we see local
things going wrong without a global perspective, we tend to put
it down to incompetence, laziness or inappropriate people being
in a position. There is a pattern to everything that is happening
not just here but all over the world. It is deliberate, planned
and of long-standing duration and it is heading where none of us
would wish to go. Economic rationalism, globalisation,
corporatism are all part of a plan to de-industrialise Australia.
There will be no escaping the consequences of what is happening
in this country. Growth is the mantra. Countries that don’t
grow fast enough are by implication poorly managed. Well what
constitutes growth? Consumption of alcohol, consumption of
clothing. We think to ourselves, does that really constitute real
growth? It is, according to the way they construct the GDP
numbers. The fact is that the growth of GDP at the expense of
increasing borrowings is not a concern to Canberra because it is
part of the plan. Argentina went through the same thing. When the
financiers pull the plug there is collapse. In Indonesia during
the Asian crisis 15 million people were thrown out of work in a
week. The assets of these countries then became available for
other international capitalists to buy at discounted prices. That
is exactly what in due course, we will experience. Successful
people, companies and nations do not give up their sovereignty
and freedom. If you wish to take over someone they must be
destitute. If one wanted countries to come together in a new
global order, they first must be destituted.
People like Keating can make outrageous
statements and not be questioned because in this country we have
a very compliant media. They are owned by the same globalizers.
We no longer have an independent media.
If one looks at the definition of rational, there is nothing
rational about the economic changes of this time. The elites have
introduced and persisted with them despite public dissatisfaction
and opposition and shown no willingness to admit they have made
mistakes or monumental errors. They have persisted long after a
sane man or woman would have taken stock, so we must conclude
that the outcomes are not displeasing to them.
Perfect competition is to them wasteful of
resources but it should keep them honest and should mean no one
ends up with more that 10% of the market. Murdoch has 70%. In the
airline industry, Qantas has 70% Virgin 20% and there are a few
minor regionals. There is no competition at all. In agriculture
there is competition at the bottom. But as you go up the chain
you no longer have perfect competition. Business has been
deregulated in most nations around the world. The service sector
is the only one not deregulated but they are about to be.
Australia and New Zealand are the only two countries that have
fully embraced economic rationalism. They define efficiency in
terms of reduction of labour only.
Once companies become too big and
multinational they become more powerful than the countries in
which they operate. Murdoch and Enron were good examples.
A natural disaster or a crime wave become
increases in GDP. Two women who look after each other’s
children for money have just increased the GDP whereas if they
had each looked after their own children that does not contribute
to the GDP. As a people we would rather not have crime but from
an economic rationalist view it is good for the economy. If
Australia was going forward as we were from 1945 to 1975, with
our foreign debt being about 40% of GDP in 1945. By 1975 it was
down to 10%. Although Whitlam and others claimed we were
inefficient, the fact is we paid down debt in that 30 years
period. It is now back up to 90% plus.
Free trade was adopted in the 1840’s as the
policy of the Liberal party in Britain. It caused the disruption
of Europe with 50 million farmers moving to cities for a better
way of life. Free trade does that for you. The fact that there
are millions who want to come to Australia at the moment is
symptomatic of free trade. If we open our borders which the free
traders want and which GATTS requires us to do, then we had
better learn to eat a bowl of rice a day, because that is what
will happen not more than 20 to 30 years ahead.
Leon Gregor
Leon
is the president of the NSW branch of the British/Israel World
Federation but is speaking on his own behalf.
The so-called Nazis and Ku Klux Klan in
Australia, who are frequently given profile in the controlled
mass media, are fakes working for the NWO establishment against
the right wing. They are part of a strategy to discredit dissent
against the globalist NWO. There have been in the past such fake
counterparts in USA, Britain, Germany, and France.
The aim of these people is to subvert the
efforts, organization and reputations of movements and persons
opposed the glaobalist NWO. For media and public benefit they
produce a posture as overboard, rightwing, nutter fanatics
indulging in fake hysterics in defence of the Aryan race. The try
to get close to, observe, infiltrate and hijack targeted groups
and destroy such groups and isolate them from the general
population. The groups that have been targeted by these people
have also been targeted by the Zionist lobby. The attacks have
been prolonged, malicious and of serious consequence.
Who do these fake Nazi/KKK not confront or
target? If one listens to or reads their rhetoric one would
expect them to be out there imposing themselves on Aboriginal,
Jewish, lefty, republican and globalist groups. The only action
to date is the posting of a few stickers at Darlinghurst and the
use of bed sheets to frighten Aborigines at Casino. They don’t
target Unity party meetings. There are only about 6 members in
the Sydney area and possibly another 6 throughout Australia. This
has hardly changed in 10 years. They consist of mainly drug
addicts, mental deficients, drunks and criminals. The media never
get around to investigating these groups and allow their claims
to stand as fact. Despite their small numbers they have an
appearance of large numbers.
These people have never been singled out for
attention by the Jewish lobby, as have Fred Tobin and Olga
Scully.
They never attempt to build their group but
instead invade other groups as Lenin and the Communists did. They
hijack them and convert the stolen group and its assets to their
own purposes. If they are foiled, they then set about sabotaging
the victim. They set about displaying “credible” racism.
The
2002 Sydney Forum
Dr Jim Saleam
The
Sydney Forum was indeed an outgrowth of the Inverell Forum and
thanks was given to Robert Balgarnie for his assistance.
There is a new climate since the Moslem
attacks on New York and it has manifested itself as legislatively
endorsed spying on nationalist and patriotic groups of all sorts.
The next Sydney Forum will discuss the theme of what it means in
this country now that there is a developing politics of permanent
war. This is backed by an internal terror in which the state must
organise against its own citizens to endorse the globalizer’s
war. We must become adept at explaining the globalizers system as
it affects our lives both in the macro and micro picture. These
globalizers seek the recrafting of your country as an open
borders free market zone with all of your identiy is lost in a
consumer herd mass. These people are very big on slogans about
democracy; they are even fighting a war for it but they are very
bankrupt on substance.
To govern such a system, as well as to put it
in place block by block, only force will suffice. The 1990’s
have seen war and suppression right throughout the world to
implement this system.
The attack on New York was based on a
perception that the USA and Israel are the axis of evil and any
involvement of Australia in any such war is unnecessary as this
is not our war, but while our country is a part of the New World
Order arrangement then we are in fact a target of Islamic
extremism. This declaration after September 11th is in fact a
declaration of a war without end. Without multiculturalism there
would have been no such attack. We now face not only people who
hate the liberal (sick) west but also European people in general.
This does not sit well with the extolled love of diversity coming
from the NWO boys. The enemy of the globalizer and yours too can
live right next door.
What the enemy is proving to you in waging the
war which he is waging right now externally and internally is
that he is a deadly machine for armed violence backed by
psychological terrorism, fronted by facade institutions which in
fact manipulate and time waste.
Surviving
the Consequences of Radical Liberalism
John Swinburne
We
are a body and a consciousness. One of the sanctions used against
us is the threat of death and we react because we have a fear of
death. All of us have belief systems about things, men, women,
money, government etc. We fight wars over belief systems. Life
and death are natural phenomena and don’t need
institutionalised belief systems to explain them.
If I could sit outside my body and see my body
sitting there that would be reasonable evidence that I as an
aware consciousness was not my body. I could then reason that if
I am not my body and if my body dies, here am I. There are
near-death experiences where people are pronounced dead but
return to their body and speak of being somewhere else and seeing
God or others. The end result is that we are afraid of dying
because we think that is the end and we protect our bodies at any
cost and continue to produce more and more bodies.
Globally the large populations are now
ungovernable. Our belief systems say populate. That is an
absurdity. If population control is not top of your list, all
other issues are irrelevant.
The children of today have been brought up to
believe they have an entitlement without an obligation. Their
teachers have ingrained this in them, because those teachers are
university graduates. We advocate the education of our children
but we are supporting the very system that is perpetrating this
stuff (political correctness) on us. The great flaw of this
belief system is that people must be protected from the
consequences of their actions. They must not feel pain. How else
do we find out we have screwed up? We get it wrong and it hurts.
Get it right and we feel good.
Is
Our Customs Service Doing its Job?
Bob Spanswick
The
customs service doesn’t work properly. It is badly structured
and is run by quite inappropriate people.
In the 1980’s a customs office was shopping
in a gun shop in Sydney and saw displayed American armalite
rifles. He was told about the expected import of the AK47. He
reported to his supervisor but was eventually told that the
resources of the department were such that staff were not
available to undertake a seizure of the weapons. The matter was
reported to the union and I brought the matter up with the
Minister responsible. The member custom officers were about to
visit the gun shop on their own time, which they could do under
their Queen’s warrant. At 9am the following morning after the
meeting with the Minister, those warrants were withdrawn.
I was working on the Sydney wharf and a
waterside worker drew my attention to some publications. They
were called “high times” and advocated the use of cocaine and
heroin, even by children. My supervisor advised that he had been
reporting this matter for some time and was told from above that
there was nothing customs could do about the publications. I went
on television and the next day we had the Attorney General’s
Department telling the Customs Department that these publications
were prohibited imports. Two months later we addressed the
problem. People went to jail over that. The administration were
not impressed with an officer embarrassing them on television so
they decided to amend the legislative arrangements. While doing
this they finished up with prohibition of books only and nothing
else. So everything else that were used for drug taking such as
scales and bongs, were now allowed to be imported. It was
rectified 6 years later.
A prominent retailer imported a number of
porcelain pieces; eleven 20 ton containers. Nine containers were
delivered, but an officer decided to test the porcelain against
the documents supplied by the agent and stack it up against the
regulations concerning the lead content. He took a sample and
sent it to a laboratory. The report stated that the lead content
was 1,000 times the lead content allowable under the act and
therefore were prohibited. We seized the two containers but did
nothing about the rest that were on the shop shelves. In my time
that was the last time porcelain was tested. After that the
government introduced self-regulation and there were never any
problem shipments after that.
Customs used to search vessels. We used to
search containers once. We don’t do it any longer. The
administration decided we didn’t need to do this any longer.
Like a fire station, if there haven’t been any fires for 5
years, we might as well close the station down. We never searched
one ship in seven years and of course we lost our expertise. Then
suddenly there was a ship coming in next week and we have
information that it is going to be carrying whatever illegal
products. We had no one with the expertise to search it. The
Customs immediately dispatched 12 officers to the UK and 12
officers to Canada to teach them how to search ships again. They
didn’t call on the retired officers on a short-term arrangement
to come back and do just that. Instead we sent these people away
on a 12-week junket at the end of 1999. It is 2002 and my
information is we still haven’t searched any ships because we
still haven’t anyone who can use essential breathing apparatus
yet. Searching people is just out of the question because once
upon a time we had a woman arriving and we had some information
about her. She was a suspected heroin carrier and when she
arrived the women officers at Sydney airport took her away, where
she disrobed. Towards the end of the procedure she burst out of
the room into the baggage hall naked screaming that if the
Customs officers wanted to see her naked, everyone else should
see her also. After this the legislation was changed and took all
those powers away. The woman was found dead a month later of a
heroin overdose.
We don’t have patrol functions any more in
the ports of Australia. We have video cameras though. We have
upgraded them now to colour. The only problem is that the people
who look at these cameras when they are pointed in the right
direction don’t know what they are looking at because they are
not selected and trained officers for the law enforcement
function of customs. An incident happened over the weekend. The
staff diligently looked through the footage on Monday and they
were a bit worried about one in particular. They could not see
exactly if anything illegal was happening so they sent the video
to an old hand who looked at the video in his own time and wrote
a report out. They thanked him and filed it. The film was of crew
coming down the gangplank with 3-foot boxes marked Marlborough.
We have a lot of ships entering Port Kembla.
The Customs decided to search the cabin of a crewmember but they
had only been in the job 4 years and didn’t know how to do it.
They rang Sydney and asked for an officer to come down to search
this cabin. They replied that they didn’t have anyone available
but they would get an old hand from the baggage check to go down
a day later. He duly arrived and went through the protocol with
the captain and searched the cabin. The other Customs officers
were astounded. “How did you know how to do that."? “I
was trained to do it.” They had been in the job for 4 years and
didn’t know how to search a ship.
We have a Customs Service that is there and we
have a dressed up window like Sydney Kingsford Smith airport
where we have all the smoke and mirrors and where the publicity
officers are, who keep telling the public how marvellously we are
going. Unfortunately we have this other thing called a coastline.
There is nobody there.
We also have shooting galleries here. It is
not my place to discuss the merits of this. My concern is the
Federal legislative arrangements that are being broken by the
activities of the so-called shooting galleries. There are people
there who have heroin in their possession. The Customs Act says
you can’t. The Customs officers and police officers are
required to seize the heroin under the Customs Act. And if they
don’t they get jailed.
The Customs Service needed to be fixed 15
years ago. We didn’t fix it then and we are not fixing it now.
It needs to recruit, select and train people for a customs law
enforcement function. We need to have systems in place, which
don’t just process things but actually have restraining
capacity about them to look after your good interest. We have a
new customs system coming on line that has cost us millions to
date but when it comes it will not have a law enforcement control
programme in it. That is referred to as phase two of the computer
system that will be implemented sometime in some century.
I would like to think that this all results
from a massive “yes Minister” syndrome. While I would like to
think that is the case, I am not sure and I have a reservation
about it. I suspect we are being systematically put out of
business as a country.
In relation to a question about a container of
pistols stolen off the wharf in Sydney, yes I know of this
matter. Customs and police officers have a duty with regards this
matter and they don’t do it.
About a question relating to Tipperary station
in the Northern Territory reportedly owned by Indonesians and
where aeroplanes come and go regularly without customs checks;
this is not an isolated case and a number of these matters were
reported by submission to a committee on coast watch and was
filed by the chairman of the committee and never saw the light of
day. Nothing whatsoever is being done about that sort of a
situation and it isn’t isolated to Tipperary station.
Port
Arthur Update
Andrew MacGregor &
Wendy Scurr
Andrew
MacGregor
We
would like to thank the Inverell Forum for making all this
possible by having us here last year, when Wendy and I launched
our campaign into the Port Arthur massacre. Wendy has always been
fighting for proper and legal treatment for the survivors of the
Port Arthur massacre and the constitutional rights of all
Australians with regard to that terrible event which occurred
almost six years ago. The role of the constabulary has always
been to protect and preserve the people within our community. It
not about going out and collecting taxes, speed cameras, or using
our military might to overpower the legal rights of people. It is
obvious that the Tasmanian police were not permitted to fulfil
that obligation to the people of the Tasman peninsular and all
investigations into the Massacre have been more that just
stifled. After making this report I shall be stepping aside.
Wendy will still be going and she has another supporter by the
name of Gillian McGuire who is extremely competent in her field
and has done a magnificent report on Damien Bugg.
What have Wendy and I accomplished since last
Inverell Forum? Not heaps, but some extremely important facts
have been clarified. Mrs Julie Butler, who approached us at the
Forum last year and pointed out that relatives of Mr Russell
Pollard had been informed of his death at Port Arthur by a local
policeman at approximately 4.30 pm on the Sunday afternoon. How
was it possible for a NSW local policeman to travel for over 30
minutes to be able to inform the relatives of the death, before a
Tasmanian policeman was recorded as entering the Port Arthur
historic site? From this information we were able to determine
that constable Gary Whittle did in fact enter the toll booth area
of the Port Arthur site at about 2pm and he was the only
policeman in the position to inform police headquarters at Hobart
of the names of the deceased and their addresses and normal
police procedures than took place. We have been continually
informed that there were no police communications between Port
Arthur and Seascape and police headquarters and the police
command post at Taranna. However Whittles ability to pass on
details of the death of Pollard and the fact that Whittle even
makes the statement that he communicated with police headquarters
after talking with Jim Laycock and Yannis Kateros suggests there
were adequate radio communications for the local police. Local
SES volunteers had been listening to police communications and
had heard orders to members of the constabulary at Seascape that
they were not to shoot the gunman and suggested that police
communications were in fact operating normally. Final evidence
that police communications were operating normally was the fact
that at a debrief of the event where police communications
between police at Seascape and elsewhere was part of that
debrief.
We must not forget Sergeant Fogarty who was
driving from Belrief police station to Seascape at an average
speed of about 125 Kph and was also issuing instructions to
police to man roadblocks and other actions. It was an established
fact that mobile phones did not operate in the area. The
ambulance communications also had numerous black spots in the
area but communications were connectable within certain areas
such as the boat jetty at Port Arthur or on the town’s local
sports oval. It is logical to suggest that the local police would
also have experienced similar difficulties, but again the
evidence says they did not. We are aware that the police and
other emergency bodies had held exercises within this very area
in the past few years and would have been alerted to the
communications problems and aware of the solution of putting in a
mobile relay station. Superintendent Barry Bennett admits to
having been in charge of the Police Special Operations Group
prior to his promotion to district commander and was well aware
of the communication problems.
Through the Inverell Forum we received a copy
of a letter from QLD Police Commissioner’s office in relation
to new national firearm laws 6 months prior to the Port Arthur
massacre. That gave us positive proof that there was a federal
government agenda in relation to the new gun laws and some of the
bureaucrats and politicians who were involved such as Darryl
Smeaton and Duncan Kerr. Then we found positive proof that Martin
Bryant was not alone inside Seascape cottage. There were 20
“coughs” placed in the court transcript and credited to
police negotiator Terry McCarthy in his conversation with
“Jamie” aka Martin Bryant. The coughs on the tape sounds
remarkably similar to an SKK. Trained police negotiators do not
cough once when they are talking to people. That could mean
another person inside the Seascape cottage fired up to 20 shots
while Bryant was talking to police. We were able to ascertain
that Mrs Sally Martin was alive in the afternoon during the siege
at seascape as she was seen by constable Gary Whittle and it is
recorded in his debriefing notes. Constable Paul Hyland also saw
a naked person and we safely assume that that person was Mrs
Sally Martin. If Mrs Martin was still alive during the Port
Arthur massacre then who was minding her?
Wendy and I have also been interviewed by
mainstream media, the Channel Nine Sunday programme, in relation
to our presentation on Port Arthur. We were not the only people
interviewed, but it was the list of people who refused to be
interviewed that makes the programme interesting. Senior members
of the Tasmanian police initially wanted to voice their side of
the story but when the time came were not permitted to do so. Ray
Groom was not interested, nor I believe, was Damien Bugg. In fact
all the Tasmanian politicians requested, declined to put their
side to the media.
Another important aspect of the Massacre was
the role that ASIO played. I continually refer to the Protective
Security Co-ordination Centre (PSCC). We are aware that ASIO is
part of the committee that is called (SACPAV), the Standing
Advisory Committee for Prevention Against Violence, and it is
controlled by PSCC and so there may be some confusion as to
exactly who played what roles within the Port Arthur incident. We
do know however that the federal Attorney General’s department
has stated categorically that there was ASIO involvement within
the Port Arthur massacre. The Attorney General’s Upfront
magazine made certain statements, which included that the PSCC
was involved in the incident very early dealing with requests and
advice for assistance. The Defence Force, ASIO and the NSW Police
all provided assistance.
What did we have at Port Arthur? We had the
Tasmania police, the Tasmania police Special Operations Group,
the Victoria police Special Operations Group (six members), the
NSW police Special Operations Group, the Australian federal
police Anti-terror Squad, ASIO, PSCC, the Australian defence
forces helicopter pilots and the SAS. It was a bloody big
exercise and much of that had to have been organised prior to the
event. Three army helicopter pilots to fly the rescue helicopters
on the Sunday. They were there prior to the event. The SAS van
arrived at the oval to guide in the helicopters. This van
indicates the preparedness, as they could not just have been in
the area at the time.
Mr McLeod of Warwick offered to host a meeting
for us but was approached by a retired ASIO operative who stated
categorically that the Port Arthur gunman was a former SAS
soldier. Corroborating information came to me at Bernie in
Tasmania. I was questioned about the name of the person
responsible for the shooting and I stated that the name David
Everett had been given to us from Queensland. The man then
informed me of certain aspects of David Everett that fitted the
Port Arthur gunman. The man stated he had just moved back from WA
where David Everett was notorious for many crimes and was
currently in a secure H M prison. This Everett was 34 years of
age at the time of the massacre and yet all the witnesses
informed us prior to the arrest of Bryant that the gunman was
aged between 18 and 25 years of age, so we know that this Everett
is not the man. There are many precedents of security forces
setting up sting operations and infiltrating legitimate
organizations. We must question all aspiring new members and
question all new information given, to ensure it is not false
information deliberately given to deflect us.
I have mentioned that SES workers and other
people had listened to police communications and then certain
police were debriefed after the massacre and part of the
debriefing was listening to a taped conversation by uniform
police with hand held radio outside Seascape cottage to their
controller. Pat Allen had the hand radio. The conversation goes
like this, “We have the Port Arthur gunman in sight. We have
the gunman in sight. Permission to shoot.” “Permission
denied.” “We have the Port Arthur gunman in sight!
Permission to shoot!” “Permission denied. This must
happen.”
Wendy Scurr
I
would like to thank Andrew McGregor, without whose help the story
would never have gotten out. I don’t know if we will ever do
any good or not but I am not going to stop trying because there
have been too many people hurt through all this.
I was very surprised at the number of people
who gave me support and that has led to me touring. I have been
right up to Cairns, into South Australia, but not a lot in NSW. I
haven’t been to Darwin or Western Australia. The Inverell Forum
was what gave us a chance to get the word out. The people here
seemed to believe me and I became very calm after that happened.
I felt then that someone else cares about it. Andrew and I have
now spoken to over 3000 Australians. Since I last spoke I have
received a writ for defamation. It is the mortuary contractor and
it looks that I am going to have to go to trial.
We have had two of our venues cancelled. The
first was at the Victoria hotel in Melbourne but the meeting went
ahead because a very kind doctor offered us his medical centre to
use. The other venue closed to us was in Tasmania. All this did
was to give us more advertising because it was in the Mercury
every day talking about conspiracy theorists and right-wingers
who support us. We eventually used the town hall, which was an
excellent backdrop for the filming by the nine network.
Mr Bugg of the Department of Public
Prosecutions referred throughout the sentencing hearing to a
certain door as being locked. During his summing up of the case
Justice Cox also stated the door was locked. But on page 17 of
the DPP’s own report states that on 30th April a
carpenter employed by the Authority was required to paint out the
windows of the cafe. He along with a police officer, who was
inside the building, examined the lock. The police officer
operated the handle inside while the carpenter examined the
tongue of the door locking mechanism. The tongue moved slightly
but would not retract sufficiently to enable the door to open. I
also tried to get out of that door when I attempted to get help.
The door handle moved but it would not open. It is a well-known
fact that this door was malfunctioning prior to the day of the
massacre. Mr Bugg’s 52-page report made two key findings. They
are (1) the door was not marked as an exit.
It should have been because it was the only one. (2) He
was not able to determine that any person was not able to escape
through the door. (Why wasn’t this door photographed and
examined insitu by a locksmith and kept as evidence? If this lock
was functioning these poor unfortunate people and many others
would have had time to escape. They wouldn’t have just thrown
the guns used at Port Arthur into a shed because they were
“important” evidence and were treated as such. The same
procedure should have applied to that door. To make matters worse
the inside handle of the door was accidentally broken off during
demolition. Then Mr Bugg whilst writing his report travelled to
Port Arthur to retrieve the door and the lock. He was unable to
fit the door in his vehicle so the lock was removed. Mr Bugg then
returned to the locksmith with the lock, which he had removed,
from the door, minus the handle. Because that handle was missing,
the locksmith was only able to identify it as a fire exit lock,
but without the handle he was unable to determine the model.
Where is this handle? Isn’t removing this lock form the door
tampering with evidence? To the transcripts that tell us that
people did try that door, but Bugg has denied this in his own
report.
This is a transcript of a lady who was
on a phone hook-up. I have to keep her name private at this stage
but she will give evidence to a coronial enquiry. She said, “If
the door would have opened it would have been a different
scenario. I would have been out of there. I know I would have got
out of there. An amount of people would have got through.” When
speaking on the telephone to MR Bugg during his investigation
into the matter of the door she made comment saying, “We
didn’t have a chance. I meant that one man who was shot across
the counter didn’t have a chance then, but we actually had to
wait towards the end before those at the door were shot. He cut
me off straight away and just took down what he wanted to and
didn’t give me a chance to say ‘Look had that have opened
those people who were right there at that door, who were shot,
would have been out.’ So I am angry over that because I was so
traumatised in the back of my mind I let it go. The people at the
door were still standing there while he went back into the cafe
shooting and then when he came back and shoot down towards the
door. It was a different scenario then and I am saying if the
door had opened then we would have got out, and I would have been
out of that door.” This lady was behind a Hessian screen within
touching distance of the people who were shot there. Those five
people.
I am now going to read you an extract from a
witness police statement. This lady lost her husband behind the
door. This is exactly as it is in the police statement. “About
one thirty pm Peter and I went to the Souvenir shop which is in
the same building as the kiosk. We heard some shots. I heard
three really quick bangs and we looked around and I say a man
with a gun. He was wearing a khaki green jacket or parker type
jacket. The gun he was holding was long. He was holding it out in
front of him. The bangs kept going off. It didn’t seem like a
machine gun because it wasn’t that quick. I only glanced at him
quickly just enough to realise it was someone with a gun. Peter
then pushed me and said we have got to get out of here. So we ran
around to try to find a was out. We went to a small, enclosed
area where there was a glass door. We desperately tried the door,
but it was locked. Peter said get down. I crouched down on the
ground against the glass door. I put my face into my hands and
Peter crouched over me. All this time I could still hear the
shots. There didn’t seem to be a break. It just kept on going.
I stayed crouched until the shots didn’t sound so close. They
were still continuing regularly as they were becoming more
distant. But from the time when I first saw the man with the gun
to when the shots weren’t so close was no more than a few
minutes. I waited until the shots were distant and I knew that I
wasn’t hit. I heard Peter making funny noises. I checked him
and he was hit on the right side of his face. My hair at the back
was matted which may have been his blood. I felt the back of his
head and it seemed alright. I saw two other people weren’t
moving or making any noise so I presumed they were dead. When I
looked at Peter who was unconscious and making gurgling noises
there was blood coming out of his nose and mouth. I started
screaming and someone said something like “Be quite. He might
come back”. I sat up and took my jacket off and I put it on my
lap then rested Peter’s head on the jacket to try and stop the
blood. I felt he was still alive because he was warm and had a
pulse. I tried to give him mouth to mouth but that didn’t seem
to do any good because of the injury to his cheek and more blood
seemed to come out. I stayed there crying with Peter for about
twenty minutes. Somebody came and asked me to go outside. I then
said that I didn’t want to leave him if there was a chance he
might still be alive. Some first aid people went inside and
checked him. They came back out and told me he was dead. I was
then taken care of and at one stage I was checked by first aid
officers and ambulance officers because of the blood on my shirt
which I think was Peter’s.”
As Mr Bugg was commissioned by the Joint
Parliamentary Group to write a report, the Bugg Report, to
investigate the issues relating to the door, has he not misled
Parliament by making the comment that he was not able to
determine that anyone tried the door?
Why no coronial enquiry? A coronial enquiry is
the only way the many anomalies can be answered. A coronial
enquiry into the massacre at Port Arthur was initiated at about
3.55 pm on Sunday 28th April 1996, when the coroner
Matterson was informed of the matter and that he was required at
police headquarters Hobart for a briefing. It was 7.30 pm before
it was considered safe for him to enter. The coroner arrived at
the site at 8.05 pm. As no person had been apprehended and
charged with any offence he advised the police he would take over
the area as a coronial site. At about 8.40 am the following
morning on the 29th April, Martin Bryant had come out
of Seascape. The police expected charges would be laid. He then
advised police that his role as coroner on site would become
secondary and he ceased to have control of the scene. In a letter
dated the 31st January 1997, from the coroner, to a
person who had lost his wife, “As a result of the outcome of
the charges preferred against Martin Bryant in the Supreme Court
of Tasmania I write to advise I do not intend to resume the
inquest that I opened on the 29th April 1996. I
believe it is not in the interests of family, friends or
witnesses to again traverse the factual situation in a public
hearing, particularly when any finding I make must not be
inconsistent with the decision of the Supreme Court. I have today
written to the Attorney General advising of my decision. May I
take this opportunity on behalf of the staff of my office to
extend our condolences for your sad loss?
Several talk to me of a Royal Commission. We
must not have a Royal Commission in the first instance as the
government get to set the terms of reference. The door situation
should have been enough on its own to have instigated a coronial
enquiry.
It would appear that Mr Groom had complete
control of everything related to the Port Arthur massacre with
the complete support of Parliament.
Some young girls were asked to go back into
the Broad arrow cafe to work 2 hour a day after the massacre!
A
Gunsmith's Notebook on Port Arthur
Stewart Beattie
All
despotism is bad, but the lowest form is that which works with
the machinery of freedom.
There
is a great urgency to have every high level bureaucrat,
politician and person in authority who had even the slightest
brush with that which drove the events encapsulating Port Arthur
be made defend their own actions and statements regarding this
dreadful event before an open public enquiry. I met with my newly
elected member for Riverina. Initially I was encouraged by her
interest in concerns I raised about the Port Arthur massacre. Her
change in demeanour was dramatic. Within a very short time I
received a letter from her electoral office and I was told
emphatically and in embolden capitals, the member will not enter
into any dialogue with you either written or verbal in the
future. I was informed that any communication on any matter would
be futile. The situation has not changed. That galvanised me into
doing all in my power to uncover and publish whatever it was that
petrifies politicians, sparks vitriol and scoffing from more than
a few media editors, even from areas we may once have regarded as
our friends, when the words Port Arthur massacre are uttered.
My area of interest in the Port Arthur
massacre is in firearms and ammunition allegedly used there. My
fulltime research over the last two years has led me to conclude
the two principle firearms claimed by the DPP as weapons used to
murder the 32 people and wound 21 others were never used to that
end at the Broad Arrow cafe or indeed any of the other crime
scenes. Let us look at the DPP’s two primary firearms. The
first is a Colt AR15 it is an SP1 carbine in 223 Remington
calibre. The word carbine only appears twice in the court
documents and the correct model of this firearm only appears once
in the wound ballistic review document released in America and
not intended for Australian eyes. The other weapon, FN FAL G
series, is probably better known to you as the Australian SLR or
L1A1, but it is very different. Somehow they rebuilt the one that
was supposedly used and I find that quite impossible. It is made
in the metric pattern whereas the Australian one is made in the
inch pattern. Even the magazine will not interchange. Both
primary weapons were self-loading. I found a whole raft of
anomalies in relation to Port Arthur from a prolific author from
Western Australia.
Martin Bryant exhibited no confusion
whatsoever in identifying the firearms he had purchased, owned,
used and taken with him to the Tasman Peninsular that day. Only
police interrogators exhibited and admitted confusion.
There is not one shred of evidence that I have
found that can positively link either of the DPP primary firearms
entered into the court documents with any of those shooting
murders. Inconclusive physical examination only was employed and
that quote, “No chemical tests were carried out and were not
planned because of cost considerations and time
considerations.” One person is murdered and they do these
chemical tests. Thirty-five people are murdered and they ignored
them.
In my book ("A Gunsmith's Notebook on
Port Arthur") I explain and destroy each of the scenarios
put forward by Gerard Dutton, ballistics officer for the
Tasmanian police and I go much further as to the reasons for the
severely damaged state of both primary weapons.
