Just now emerging from the exhausted haze of post someone's milestone birthday bashes over weekend, I thank you for your wonderful post on this issue.
It is absolutely fabulous! Because you coudn't have stated any better than I can the exact reasons why this Finkelstein report is sick at the very least, and absolutely pulls the rug out from under and civil rights we the average voter has. For it proposes that OUR birthright - freedom of speech - is taken from us, forever!
For if ever there was a better example of complete and utter twisted balderdash, mind games, and dogmatic brainwashing, and a precise precis summation of exactly the reasons why we need to fight this evil proposal to the death, you have set it out precisely in this your stated support of such a move.
The sick theories behind Gillard/Brown's proposed dictators' paradise legislation (if and when installed,( hopefully across our dead bodies) of a left wing fiefdom where WE, the people, can from then on say think/do absolutely NOTHING on pain of fines, prosecutions,, gaol terms - and worse - with the prosecuting entity NOT REQUIRED AT LAW to give ANYONE reasons or explain itself!) is 100% evil and rotten to the core, is sheer political censorship. Thankfully, it's revealed succintly as an example by you for all to see and comprehend in the thoughts you espouse in this piece of dangerous trash you have just put up.
We, leaning to the Right, the Right Wing newspapers, the right wing media, anyone who dares question and probe, will, from day one of this atrocious jack boot law being legislated, NEVER AGAIN in our history be "allowed" to voice ANY political opinion which goes against those permitted by the Gillard/Brown/Carr Party! Simple as that. TO my mind it would even stretch to cover any political advertising during an election campaign seen as crticial of this incumbent government! The mases will be silenced - with threat, with no explanation - and with no avenue of appeal! This regime is what they intend to inflict on us. And Finkelstein leads the push to shut us all up. Some objective Judge!
My opinion, as expressed herein, could well land me in gaol under this new law. I would have NIL legal redress - no avenue of appeal whatsoever. This politics forum would be immediately required to be deleted from HC! BANNED by Gillard?Brown/Carr. As will even the smallest blog elsehwere, daring to post views mentioning anything remotely seen as adverse opinion against this so-called travesty of a "Government".!
we could not, for instance, mention the Garrett connection with Pink Batts and relative four young and tragic deaths - (did you all know that pink batts themselves are still being imported in from Canada under a still existing contract - and they (the watermelons) don't know what to do with them - have to still pay for them, for instance?)
Just ONE instance of what we will no longer be allowed to have revealed, let alone debated. The lies and the scams, now covered up, will be completely kept secret!
Are we all going mad - or what?
Blogs, unless Leftist and approved,no matter how small and insignificant - a thing of the past, unless they toe the Party line very very carefully, and ensure deletion of any opposing or contrary opinion to that approved by our "leaders". Sound familiar? Reverberations in world history? Australia under jackboots - and we do not revolt??
Bolt has already been hit with the beginnings of this outrage - last year - in court, over his opinions on matters indigenous. Others share the same views he espoused.
Peter Faris, QC (or now SC) - a fearless commentator on things politic, and of the right persuasion, nobody's fool, now states publicly he will no longer comment on politics, due to his fears regarding possible pursuit and prosecution.
IS this Russia and Moscow? North Korea. Burma? Out come the Commies - the facist goose-steppers? and they CHANGE THE LAW AT WHIM - TO SUIT THEMSELVES AND PROP UP THEIR POSITION? We are to be fined, even gaoled, for having our own opinion?
And, worst of all, not a peep from the Left about the heavy bias their way at the ABC - a taxpayer funded deliberately structured mouthpiece stacked with pro-Labor sycophants masquerading as objective journalists under serious expressions, but flag waving always for ANY Labor/Greens cause. So blatant, and the will be immune, and get off scot free from this vile censorship soon to be inflicted, via Finkelstein's far-from "Independent" report.
If you are angry - write to your local Federal MP member immediately - whatever "color" they are - and say so. Preferably, get up your own petition against this outrage.
Whilst you're at it - also ask them how the investigation into the Craig Cameron allegations is going, and what date they expect to tell us outcomes? 2013? 2015? Never? When?
New name for the Labor Party - freshen up their public image, as they are no longer "for the people!"? - how about "The Machiavellian Mafia?
Worst part is - they DO now think we're all stupid. And that a few anti-Carbon price hike counter hand-out sweeteners will shut us all up again! Give them all a sweety lolly-pop - a coupla hundred bucks hand-out to the oldiescome May/June - a lousy tax cut to the youngies - and let's get back to prolonging our careers and lying through our teeth to ensure we get back in. Solidarity forever! And look the other way!
