CONSERVATIVE QUEENSLAND

The Queensland State election results have confirmed the view of objective observers that the great majority of Queenslanders are basically conservative. While Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen demonstrated that he is the dominating political personality in Queensland, it must also be noted that he is seen by a large number of Queenslanders as one who reflects their own approach to life. The Premier has demonstrated that he does understand his fellow Queenslanders. This is beyond the understanding of the trendy liberals, who in spite of all the sneering through the media, have once again been forced to eat their own words.

First in the Senate elections and again in the State elections, the Queensland Liberals openly challenged the National Party. They have been defeated both times. The suggestion by Queensland ALP President, Dr. Denis Murphy, that the Labor Party would consider supporting a private Liberal Members bill for a "fair distribution", raises once again the old theme about electoral "gerrymandering". Dr. Murphy refers to the "principle" of one vote, one value. The system of British representative government was not evolved in an attempt to produce some statistical result or "majority rule". The underlying concept was representation of interests, as witnessed by the fact that in Britain, University cities, at one time, had their own representatives. Questions of geography are also vital.
If the Queensland Liberals allow themselves to be used by the ALP to achieve "electoral reforms" which they hope will destroy the Queensland National Party, they will further destroy themselves.

During the election campaign the Premier stated once again his desire to establish a State Bank, and also his desire to use it to grant preferential interest rates to young Queenslanders and others. If Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen is to achieve his objective, it is imperative that he first takes over the Treasureship. It is no secret that the Liberals have been the major obstacle in the past to the establishment of a State Trading Bank. The election of Mrs. Florence Bjelke-Petersen to the Senate, and the major victory of Mr. Joh Bjelke-Petersen's National Party last Saturday, paves the way for a Queensland based tax revolt with far reaching implications. The natural conservatism of the Queensland electorate is a firm base on which to mount an effective challenge against the financial dictators at Canberra.

BEHIND THE NEW "ANTI-SEMITISM"

In his great classic, "The Zionist Connection", American Jewish expert on the Middle East, Dr. Alfred Lilienthal, documents how the Political Zionists have used "anti- semitism" in an attempt to silence critics. Zionist spokesmen have recently referred to what they claim is a manifestation of a new "anti-Semitism" in the shape of The Institute For Historical Review, now openly supported by a growing number of academics. Coincidentally there has recently been an outburst of what has been described as "neo-Nazism" in France, with Jews allegedly being threatened. And in Canada there has also been an outburst of "anti-Semitism". The distinguished Canadian research expert, Mr. Patrick Walsh, former Royal Canadian Mounted Police undercover agent, has exposed the agents-provocateurs behind this, documenting the fact that some of those promoting "anti-Semitism" were Jews.

Now comes the news from France that the police have arrested Jean-Yves Pellay, a top member of what is claimed to be a "neo-Nazi party", for statements he has made on the bombing on October 3rd of a Paris synagogue when four people were killed. Pellay has claimed that he is a Jew who allegedly infiltrated the European Nationalist Group, allegedly in order to discredit it. Pellay now says that the FNE was not involved in the bombing, but that he had anonymously telephoned news organisations to claim responsibility in the name of the FNE, this resulting in news stories which were used to justify a series of French demonstrations against "anti-Semitic" organisations.
This all has a familiar ring about it to those who have been studying the creation and exploitation of "anti-Semitism".

ON THE ROAD TO REVOLUTION

According to the Governor General's address opening Federal Parliament on Tuesday, November 26th, the Fraser Government promises "a continued fight against inflation" and a better explanation of policies. All the "explanations" churned out by the Government's public relations team will not alter the fact that if the policies for "fighting" inflation which have now been tried for five years, are continued with, promised assistance to the young unemployed will not prevent the growth of youth unemployment. Nor will they reduce inflation.

Australia is marching down the same revolutionary road being travelled by all industrialised nations. Under present financial rules, any relaxation of restrictive credit policies must result in a further soaring of the inflation rate. The British situation is demonstrating beyond all argument that there are no alternatives to disaster under present financial policies.
The Thatcher Government continues its "fight" against inflation with policies, which are now creating 3,000 more unemployed every day. According to the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, unemployment will reach 2.5 million by the first quarter of 1982 and then rise to 3.5 million by 1985 - if the Government perseveres with present policies.

Sir Geoffrey Howe, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, has claimed in Parliament that inflation is falling - but still at over 15 percent, but admits that the depression is deeper than he had anticipated. The biggest rally against unemployment seen since the Great Depression indicates the shape of things to come. But with an invincible stupidity, Prime Minister Thatcher has promised the British that, "I believe we are approaching the trough of the depression", and that they would see "the light at the end of the tunnel" by the end of next year."
In the meantime British industry is smashed and, hopefully the growing number of unemployed are discouraged from open rebellion by unemployment payments, which become astronomical. But the social disintegration continues. And production is hampered.

Just when the "experts" were claiming - once again! - that the American recession was easing; Americans are warned that basic prices are set to soar upwards again. The big increase in interest rates is having a devastating effect on the housing industry. The American majority who voted for Ronald Reagan is anxiously waiting to ascertain what the Reagan Administration is going to do to reverse the deepening crisis. Unless there are basic changes, frustration could produce disillusionment with the whole process of constitutional government.

BRIEF COMMENTS

It would be interesting to know what Prime Minister Fraser thinks of the type of "justice" now operating in Zimbabwe, where Comrade Robert Mugabe, Prime Minister, says that he will pardon Cabinet Minister Edgar Tekere if he is convicted of murdering a white farmer. Information Officer, Mr. Shamuyarira has told a private group of journalists in London that Mr. Mugabe was determined that Tekere will not spend one night in prison whatever the court's decision. A pardon for a convicted Tekere would be the last straw for thousands of whites who have stayed on in Rhodesia hoping that Mugabe might prove moderate. There would be an even greater white exodus than the one now taking place.

South Africa is resisting desperately the UN backed proposals, which would enable the Communist South West African People's Organisation (SWAPO) to come to power in what is now called Namibia. Running true to form, the Fraser Government supports the concept of SWAPO being permitted to participate in elections for an "independent" Namibia. Using the same terrorist tactics applied in Rhodesia, SWAPO could win in what would then be described as "free and fair" elections, similar to those held in Rhodesia.

One of the most disastrous results of the white retreat from Africa has been a collapse of agriculture and mass famine. The disintegration of Rhodesian agriculture is adding to the growing crisis. African politicians who publicly abuse South Africa know that most of their countries are economically dependent upon South Africa. There is no mass famine with starving Africans in South Africa. Southern African States - Angola - Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Tanzania and Lesotho - are now asking the West for $2,000m aid to finance projects aimed at lessening independence on South Africa. This request has been made at a Southern African Development Conference opened this week by Comrade Machel of Mozambique. We have no doubt that this strategy meets with warm approval in Moscow.

Mr. Charlie Bernstein's attempt to import steel rulers with metric measurements on one side and imperial measurements on the other highlights the type of bureaucratic madness and totalitarianism imposed upon Australians. Customs officials have written to Mr. Bernstein pointing out that his shipment of 25 dozen 12 x three quarter inch rulers are... prohibited imports under the provisions of regulation 41 of the ninth schedule to the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations."
