Info Aus

Information on Constitutional issues,our Land Ownership Rights andwhether Government can do what they tell us they can.

The response to the

information provided to

the community regarding

the Takeover of QLD has

been fantastic.

Community newspapers

such the The Strategy,

The Beacon, newletters

such as Network News

and net news including

Agmates and SOS News

have been a phenomenal

source of ongoing

information to their

readers and I urge all

readers to support their

efforts by subscribing to

them.

Reader from 4 states are

lobbying their elected

representatives,

demanding answers to

how and why these things

were done.

All demanding a return of

both our Constitutional

rights and our rights of

ownership.

And their efforts have

begun to show fruit

Dorothy Platt MLA for

Nanango in QLD has

managed to lodge

important questions into

Hansard

Dorothy is the first

politician to take an active

stand in answering the

questions of the

community.

Editors ColumnTo date, all other replies

from politicians have been

form letters, fob off letters,

generic letters.

Yet the communitycontinue to demand the

truth.

Radio stations are being

bombarded, with talk back

jockies fielding questions

about the Takeover.

However, not one of them

has followed up and

asked for information from

us.

And now, in NSW, we seea clear indication that no

Labor Government will, or

plans to ever, listen to the

electorate.

Morris Iemma stated that

his party would proceed

with their plans to sell the

Power Industry into

private ownership, despite

the overwhelming NO vote

from his own party

supporters at last weeksLabor Conference.

If his supporters believed

that these politicians were

their Servants and would

do the bidding of the

electorate the People of

NSW then they should

now begin to loudly and

firmly question why this is

no longer the case.

The arrogance of these

so-called elected

representatives of the

community is reflected in

the fact that their first act

as a politican is to obey a

party line rather than theelectorates wishes.

To place the party line first

entirely removes the

community from any vote,

and clearly explains why

Dorothy Platt MLA, the

first politician to stand up

for the people, is an

Independent.

Yet, her electorate is in

the process of beingdivided, with portions

going to the Labor

electorates around her.

The people of QLD voted

her in, the Government of

QLD is removing her

through deception.

Please send her letters of

support, and demand that

your own local member

follow her stand.

She may be the only

politician in QLD that has

any quality.

840 plus politicians

Australia-wide were given

this information in October

last year.

One has chosen to begin

to ask questions.

How immeasurably sad.

How awfully evil.

Newsletter TitlePage 6 of 16AustraliasGoverningStructureAustralia has 2 major parties. Liberal and Labor.

Minor parties include the Democrats, The Greens,Christian Democrats, One Nation, Nationals.

For most of Australias history, Liberal and Labor havedominated however, both of these parties have otheraffiliations. We will discuss the Labor Party and its

background.

Australian Labor Party

Founded in 1891 by the emerging labourmovement in Australia

The country's oldest federally active political

party, having contested seats at the 1901federal election following the federation ofAustralia.

The ALP predates both the British Labour

Party and New Zealand Labour Party amongothers.

Commonly described as a social democratic

party, but its constitution stipulates that it is ademocratic socialistparty.

Social Democracy can be described as movingleft from Capitalism and Democratic Socialismas moving right from Marxism:

The ALP is a member of The Socialist International

(SI), a worldwide organization of social democratic,and labour parties, defining the socialist option as onein which it is "the people of the world who shouldexercise control by means of a more advanced

democracy in all aspects of life: political, social, andeconomic."

The SI emphasizes the following principles:

first,freedomnot only individual liberties,

but also freedom from discrimination andfreedom from dependence on either the ownersof the means of production or the holders ofabusivepolitical power;

second, equality andsocial justicenot only

before the law but also economic and socio-

cultural equality as well, and equalopportunities for all including those with

physical, mental, or social disabilities; and,

third,solidarityunity and a sense of

compassion for the victims of injustice andinequality. These ideals are described infurther detail in the SI's Declaration ofPrinciples

History of the modern social democratic parties:

after the Russian Revolution of 1917, most ofthe world's socialist parties fractured. Thereformist socialists kept the name "SocialDemocrats", while many revolutionarysocialists began calling themselves"communists", and soon formed the modernCommunist movement

Following the split between Social Democratsand Communists, another split developedwithin social democracy, between those whostill believed it was necessary to abolishcapitalism (without revolution) and replace itwith a socialist system through democratic

parliamentary means, and those who believedthat the capitalist system could be retained butneeded dramatic reform, such as thenationalization of large businesses, theimplementation of social programs (publiceducation, universal healthcare, and the like)and the partial redistribution of wealth throughthe permanent establishment of a welfare state

based on progressive taxation.

Eventually, most social democratic parties

have come to be dominated by the latterposition and, in the post-World War II era,have abandoned any commitment to abolishcapitalism.

In recent years, a number of social democraticparties and governments have moved awayfrom some traditional elements of socialdemocracy by supporting both the privatisationof certain state-controlled industries andservices and the reduction of certain forms ofregulation of the market.

The Labor Right is the organised faction of theAustralian Labor Party (ALP) that tends to be moreeconomically liberal and socially conservative. Thefaction's formal name at a national level is Labor Unity,although this name is rarely encountered outside ofParty conferences.

Nationally, the Right is a broad alliance of the variousRight state groupings (whose names vary from "LaborForum" to "Centre Unity"). Its support base varies fromstate to state, but it usually relies on certain tradeunions, such as the Australian Workers Union and theShop Distributive and Allied Employees Association

for support within the party.

The Right is currently the dominant faction in the Laborparty, with leaderKevin Rudd coming from this faction.The faction also holds a majority on the party's National

Newsletter TitlePage 7 of 16Executive. The faction has 41 of the 88 Federal LaborMP's. State Premiers such as Morris Iemma are alsoassociated with the Right, with the recently arrivedexception of Anna Bligh (Queensland) of the left,succeeding Peter Beattie.

The Right views itself as the more mainstream andfiscally responsible faction within the ALP. The Right

is most famous for its support ofThird Way policiesover Labor's traditional social democratic/democraticsocialistpolicies, such as the economic rationalist

policies of the Hawke and Keating governments, whofloated the Australian Dollarin 1983, reduced tradetariffs, reformed taxation , changed from centralisedwage-fixing to enterprise bargaining, privatised Qantasand Commonwealth Bank, and deregulated the bankingsystem

Various ideological beliefs were factionalised underreforms to the ALP underGough Whitlam, resulting inwhat is now known as the Socialist Left who tend to

favour a more interventionist economic policy and moresocially progressive ideals, and Labor Right, the nowdominant faction that tends to be more economicallyliberal and focus to a lesser extent on social issues.

Through its membership of the Socialist International,the ALP is affiliated with democratic socialist, socialdemocratic and labour parties in many countries. The

party was historically committed to socialist economicpolicies, but this term was never clearly defined, and noLabor government ever attempted to implement"socialism" in any serious sense.

The trade unions are also factionally aligned. Thelargest unions supporting the right are the AustralianWorkers Union (AWU), the National Union of Workers(NUW) and the Shop, Distributive and AlliedEmployees' Association (SDA). Important unionssupporting the left include the AustralianManufacturing Workers Union (AMWU), the Liquor,Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union (LHMU), theConstruction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union(CFMEU), the Australian Services Union (ASU) andthe Maritime Union of Australia (MUA).

The huge number of ALP politicans are also

members of theFabian Society.

Founded on 4 January 1884 in London

John Maynard Keynes was a delegate at 1944's

United Nations Monetary and FinancialConference, commonly known as the BrettonWoods Conference.

The group, which favoured gradualincremental change rather than revolutionarychange, was named in honour of the Romangeneral Quintus Fabius Maximus (nicknamed

"Cunctator", meaning "the Delayer"). HisFabian strategy advocated tactics ofharassment and attrition rather than head-on

battles against the Carthaginian army under therenowned general Hannibal Barca.

The Fabians plan was to create a socialist statein England by promoting Marxist andDarwinist doctrines in the form of literature.

The Fabian Coat of Arms was originally a

WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING.

The Fabians favoured:

Nationalization of land, believing that rentscollected by landowners were unearned, anidea which drew heavily from the work ofAmerican economist Henry George. (HenryGeorge is best known for his argument that theeconomic rent of land should be shared bysociety rather than falling into private hands.)

The clearest statement of this view is found in

Progress and Poverty: "We must make landcommon property.. Although this could bedone by nationalising land and then leasing itout George preferred taxing unimproved land

value, in part because this would be lessdisruptive and controversial in a land wheretitles has already been granted to individuals.

With this "single tax" the state could avoid

having to tax any other types of wealth ortransaction. Introducing a large land value taxcauses the value of land titles to fallcorrespondingly, but George wasuncompromising about the idea ofcompensation for landowners, seeing the issueas a parallel to earlier debates aboutcompensating former slave owners.

Modern economists like the 1976Nobel

Memorial Prize winnerMilton Friedman agreethat Henry George's land tax is potentially

beneficial because unlike other taxes, landtaxes impose no excess burden on theeconomy, and thus stimulate more rapideconomic growth.

Modern-day environmentalists have resonated

with the idea of the earth as the commonproperty of humanity and some have

endorsed the idea ofecological tax reform,including substantial taxes or fees on pollutionas a replacement for "command and control"regulation

Through the course of the 20th century the FabianSociety has always been influential in Labour Partycircles, with members including Ramsay MacDonald,Clement Attlee, Anthony Crosland, Richard Crossman,Tony Benn, Harold Wilson, and more recently TonyBlair and Gordon Brown.

By exploiting the natural tendency of all Politicians to

concentrate power, the Fabians have worked at

supporting legislation to empower bureaucracy,

thereby undermining Parliament and thus destroying

the rights of individuals.

Much of the curriculum in our universities today isbased on the teachings of these sixteen men andwomen, including George Bernard Shaw and HG

Wells.

Fabian Society Purported & Notable members

Lionel Murphy QC (ALP Governor-General)

Bill Hayden (ALP Governor-General)

Gough Whitlam (ALP PM)

Quote:In a recent address to the Junior Chamberof Commerce in Victoria, Mr. Whitlam reiteratedhis contention to use section 96 of the Constitution

as a means of "competing" with private enterprise.In effect this is the selective use of the government's

power in the credit field to put free enterprise at adisadvantage to government "enterprise".

Bob Hawke (ALP PM)

Quote 1:in his policy speech at the 1983 election,that 1988 should be made the "target date" for

major changes to the Constitution.

Quote 2: Following the massive rejection of his

four referendum proposals last year, Mr. Hawke

has decided to discard the direct attack on theConstitution by referendum, and has reverted tothe classic Fabian strategy of gradualism, which

he clearly outlined in his famous 1984 Fabianaddress in Melbourne.

Quote 3: Mr. Hawke seeks to establish himself as

being reasonable, as witnessed by his statement,

"Our first task is to move by sensible, practicalsteps to get better co-operation within the

framework of the Federal Constitution as it stands.That is where I propose we focus our main effort."

Quote 4:Mr. Hawke told his Fabian colleagues inMelbourne "For our reforms to endure, the whole

mood and mind and attitudes of the nation must bepermanently changed". This is an appeal for aprogramme of national social engineering.

Quote 5: In Bob Hawkes speech to the Fabian

Society in Melbourne on the 8th May 1984 one ofthe facts that he stated was, quote "I gladly

acknowledge the debt of my own government toFabianism".

Quote 6: He also said in that speech, "The Fabian

Society acknowledges the principal tenet ofMarxism, the abolition of private property, in thiscase to own land. They then align themselves with

the non-violent arm of Marxism by accepting the

non-violent road of patient gradualism to total

government."

THE FABIAN-COMMUNIST UNITED

FRONT

Articles regarding Fabian Society

1. Much to the horror of those naive people whobelieve that Fabian Socialism has nothing whatever todo with Communism, in fact is "a barrier againstCommunist extremism", we have consistently stressed

that the Fabian Socialists are dangerous front-runnersfor the Communists in the revolutionary war against thefree society. Further evidence of the close relationship

between the Fabians and the Communists is provided inthe August issue of "Outlook", "An IndependentSocialist Journal", with the publication of a paper given

by Mr. Rex Mortimer, leading Australian Communist,to the Victorian Fabian Society in May.

"Outlook" is regularly advertised by the VictorianFabian Society in its "Fabian Newsletter."

As Mr. Rex Mortimer is a member of the Central

Executive of the Australian Communist Party, his paperto the Fabian Society must be regarded as a carefullyconsidered Communist party policy statement.

In his historical survey of the Communist Party, Mr.Mortimer mentions that while the campaigns in theindustrial field were well known, "Less well known, butof considerable significance also at various times, have

been its influence and activity in wider welfare fieldssuch as education, municipal needs, social services,aboriginal rights, etc." However, it is admitted thatmany mistakes were made.

"Until recent years, all communist estimates of thefuture were predicated upon the prospect of a capitalist

breakdown that never eventuated."

There was a dependence upon Capitalist disintegrationinstead of Socialist initiative.

However, says Mr. Mortimer, "a new element is nowentering the picture, presenting the Communist Party,along with the entire labor movement, with both newdangers and new opportunities for constructing a viablesocialist role within a concept that does not depend oncapitalism committing suicide."

Mr. Mortimer's thesis is a reflection of the new popularfront lines with which the Italian Communist Party has

been the most prominently associated. There is a "newapproach to socialism encompassing classical, Marxist

10


11/16

Newsletter TitlePage 11 of 16foundations, the actual state of affairs in moderncapitalist society, and the useful results of non-Marxianeconomic, political and sociological analysis".

The most "useful results", from the Communists'viewpoint, of "non-Marxian" economics have stemmedfrom the dominant teachings of the Fabian SocialistKeynes.

Mr. Mortimer concludes by saying that with a new"ferment of radical and socialist thought", "we mayhope for a gradual convergence of left tendencies,leading not to any monolithic identity of views, but to agreater recognition of community, greater interchange,toleration and co-operation". The Communist Party nowseeks "in the long run a coalition of the left, withguaranteed freedom of action and independence of theconstituent groups within a common set of policies."

In order no doubt to help further the current "soft-sell"policy of the Communist conspiracy, Mr. Mortimerbegan this year post-graduate studies in Politics atMonash University.

Prominent in the Politics Department at the MonashUniversity is Dr. John Playford, who also contributes anarticle to the August issue of "Outlook".

While the Communists and the Fabians get together topreach a new "toleration", the Communist conspiracycontinues to further violence and subversion in all partsof the world.

2. The policy of permeation soon started to bearfruit. Politicians of all parties were influenced. George

Bernard Shaw has frankly described this policy:"Our propaganda is one of permeating - we urged ourmembers to join the Liberal and Radical Associations

in their district, or, if they preferred it, the

Conservative Associations - we permeated the party

oganisations and pulled all the strings we could lay our

hands on with the utmost adroitness and energy, andwe succeeded so well that in 1888 we gained the solid

advantage of a Progressive majority full of ideas that

would never have come into their heads had not theFabians put them there."

3. "The philosophy of the Fabian Society waswritten in 1887, and each member is obliged to supportit. "It reads ... 'It (Fabian Society) therefore aims at there-organisation of society by the emancipation of landand industrial Capital from individual and classownership ... The Society accordingly works for theextinction of private property in land'

Media Statement25th September 2007

Warm, Watered and Well Fed is Better.

The Carbon Sense Coalition today claimed that allgovernment efforts to stop global warming and cutcarbon dioxide emissions were anti-life andagainst the interests of mankind.

The Chairman of Carbon Sense, Mr Viv Forbes,said that this generation of foolish politicians arethe first in history to complain about the beneficialeffects that have always accompanied the periodic

but short warm eras that punctuate earths history.

The human story is intimately tied to the grand

cycles of climate and the Chicken Littles shouldstudy these before squawking.

Distant climate history is well recorded in rockstrata, ice cores, tree rings, ancient shore lines,marine sediments, pollen distribution, fossiloccurrences, coral reef growth, and carbon isotoperatios. More recent history is abundantlysupplemented in clay tablets, cave paintings, rockart, ancient scrolls, inscriptions, historical eventsand records, monuments and epitaphs, the rise andfall of empires and direct records of temperature,

sun spots, river levels, rainfall, droughts, floods,heat waves and bone chilling blizzards.

Anyone who studies these records will see thateras warmer than today are periodic but shortchapters in the earth story. The most recent majorice age ended a mere 11,500 year ago, when theModern Interglacial commenced. Since then, earthhas experienced five warm eras.

In the first warm era starting about 4300 BC, theSahara bloomed with plants, forests spread over

Northern Europe and Canada and there wassufficient water for irrigation in Arabia. This eraended when blizzards and ice returned for nearly1,000 years. Another short warm era started about1450 BC, but was ended by another bout of colddry weather that caused depopulation in Greeceand Turkey and hardship everywhere.

In the Roman Warm era, starting about 250 BC,the world smiled again and populations grew. Butthe warmth was cut short by the return of the

snows which forced Vikings and Norsemen out oftheir frozen North to pillage and then colonisewarmer southern lands.

Then we had the Medieval Warm Period, startingabout 800 AD, a time of great achievement and

prosperity. Farmers moved back into Scotland andNorway, Greenland was colonised and corn wasgrown. Vineyards produced wine near Manchester,in East Prussia and Norway. Even Tasmaniawarmed up. Trade and industry flourished and

people had surpluses for culture and education.Cambridge, Oxford and Bologna Universities werefounded and cathedrals and temples were built atWestminster Abbey, Notre Dame, Canterbury,Cologne, Florence, Castile and Angkor Wat.

But Jack Frost returned with the Little Ice Agestarting about 1300 AD. Famine, food riots anddisease again stalked Europe. Glaciers advanced,ice caps expanded, droughts and blizzards becamemore common and gales wracked Europe (anddestroyed the Spanish Armada). Frosts killed

orchards, North Sea cod moved south, food pricessoared and farms were abandoned. In Scotland and

Norway the capitals moved south and villageswere abandoned. The Greenland colony perished.During the frigid years of the Dalton Minimum(1790 1820 AD) Napoleons Grand Army

perished in a bitter Russian winter.

Then in 1860, with no help from men burningcoal or oil, earth started to warm again. Thiscontinued until 1942. A cooling spell from 1942 to1976 had the Alarmists worried that the ice was

about to return, but warming resumed from 1976to 1998. Temperatures have been cooling slightlysince then, despite the boom in burning of coal andoil.

Even a casual glance at climate and humanhistory will show that the warm eras like today arefar more beneficial for all life than the cold dryeras.

People prefer warm climates. They do not flockto Alaska, Archangel or Antarctica for winter

they head for Bermuda, the Black Sea or Bali. Allover the world, the human race is migratingtowards the sun belts Florida, the Riviera, andCapricornia very few volunteer to live in Siberiaor Patagonia. President Putin voiced what manyRussians must think a bit of warmth would bewelcome here.

Moreover, a bit of warmth would vastly increasethe land suitable for growing food and fibres. Onthe other hand, a slight cooling would take much

of the farmlands of Canada, Northern Eurasia andNew Zealand out of production, and parts ofTasmania and Victoria may have to convert from

producing wheat and dairy products to farming

Warm eras also provide more rainfall because ofthe additional evaporation from oceans, lakes,snow and ice.

When warmth and moisture are combined with

more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thebeneficial effects on plant life are multiplied. Adoubling of the CO2 content of the air would haveinsignificant effect on global warming but wouldhave marvellous effects on plant (and then animal)life:

1. Growth rate of herbaceous plants wouldincrease 30%

2. Growth rate of forest plants wouldincrease 50%

3. All plants would be more tolerant of

drought and heat4. Food production would need less land and

less artificial fertiliser

All of this magic can be achieved by allowingmans activities to recycle more CO2 and water tothe atmosphere. Why then are politicians taxingcarbon and encouraging people to waste money onfoolish schemes such as trying to bury valuablecarbon dioxide in artificial and expensive carboncemeteries?

The whole animal kingdom, including mankind,relies totally on plants to survive. Without grassesand cereals on land and plankton in the sea, mostof mankind would starve.

All plants need moisture, warmth, and carbondioxide to grow and flourish. Why then are wehaving hysterics because the earth is currently

blessed with more than average of these threemagic life sustainers?

Even the dumbest sheep in Australia knows thatbeing warm, watered and well fed is better thanbeing cold, thirsty and starving.

Maybe we should give sheep a vote?

Newsletter TitlePage 15 of 16Government defends land

valuation changesFebruary 26, 2008 - 7:14PM

The Queensland government says the way it deals withland valuation will remain "business as usual" despitechanges to laws introduced today.

The government introduced a bill to change theValuation of Land Act.

The changes follow a Land Appeal Court finding in thecase of the Chermside shopping centre in Brisbane'snorth.

The court confirmed the historic approach to valuingland, based on unimproved capital value, and found thata method developed by the government had no merit.

The government argued the owner's improvements to

the business should also be included in the land value,taking Chermside's value from $25.5 million in 2001 to$142.5 million in 2002. The court determined thevaluation at $34 million and rejected the government'sargument.

Natural Resources Minister Craig Wallace said the lawchanges were not radical and would simply introduce anew formula for the valuation of major shoppingcentres.

"These amendments are not proposing radical changesto how we currently value highly developed property,"

Mr Wallace told parliament. "This is a 'business asusual' approach that confirms the methodology used forvaluing this type of property that has been employed bythe state government for many years."

But Milton Cockburn, from the Shopping CentreCouncil, said the bill marked a "radical change" to a 70-year-old method of valuation.

"It will affect all land, except undeveloped land, andwill impact on all industry sectors," Mr Cockburn toldAAP.

"This is no longer just a shopping centre issue. It is nolonger just a commercial property industry issue.

"Its ramifications will be much broader than that - it isin effect a new business tax, because no longer will land

be valued without taking into account theimprovements."

Mr Cockburn said the method had never been used inany other Australian state.

"It will substantially increase the cost of doing businessin Queensland since valuations of property - on whichland tax and rates are assessed - will be well ahead ofwhat similar valuations are in other states," he said.

"It will obviously be a deterrent to new investment inQueensland."

Maxims of Law dealing with

Possession and Land

Possession is a good title, where no better title

appears.

Long possession produces the right of

possession, and takes away from the true

owner his action.

Possessor has right against all men but him

who has the very right.

When a man has the possession as well as the

right of property, he is said to havejus

duplicatum - a double right, forming a

complete title.

A person in possession is not bound to prove

that the possessions belong to him.

Rights of dominion are transferred without title

or delivery, by prescription, to wit, long and

quiet possession.

Enjoy your own property in such a manner as

not to injure that of another person.

He who owns the soil, owns up to the sky.

Of whom is the land, of him is it also to the

sky and to the deepest depths; he who owns the

land owns all above and all below the surface.

Every man's house is his castle.

A citizen cannot be taken by force from his

house to be conducted before a judge or toprison.

The habitation of each one is an inviolable

asylum for him.

Whatever is affixed to the soil belongs to it.

With the land goes whatever is on the land

planted.

What is built upon the land, goes with the land:

a building follows the ownership of the land.
