We are not convicts anymore

,

The world view which our Parliament now advances has the fundamental assumption that people cannot be trusted to behave in the best interests of their community and so must be treated as convicts not citizens. The time for people to trust the government is over, it is now time for the government to trust the people. This, the people’s house of Parliament, must stand in defence of the values that forged this country.

Transcript

Mr President I speak as a servant to the people of Queensland and Australia.

It is now 7 months since I delivered a speech reminding Senators and those listening at home of the significance of our flag.

A flag that flies proudly above our parliament, on a strong support that stands equally above the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Reminding all of us, in both chambers, we serve the people.

We do not serve large banking corporations, we do not serve trade unions that are now a business of their own, devoid of any relevance to their members, and we certainly do not serve foreign pharmaceutical companies.

For 7 months I have been ending my speeches with the reminder that we have one flag, we are one community and we are one nation.

In this time of great division in our beautiful country, it is becoming harder and harder to live up to the principle that we are one nation.

We must, must put aside division, and accept competing viewpoints.

On Monday I went outside to address a group of everyday Australians who have come to Canberra to protest the policies of this Parliament.

They quite rightly expected to be able to speak to their elected representatives to share their concerns, and so I did my job and I spoke with them.

The results were to be honest, mixed.

I heard many different opinions and I saw many different flags.

It is obvious to me that there are some who are misleading and inflaming opinion to gain power for themselves.

One Nation will continue to take positions that are based on facts not false, manufactured outrage.

If those of us who oppose tyranny are unable to unite amongst ourselves, how can we win public opinion.

And win we must.

Mr President 200 years ago a judge by the name of Lord Woodhouse-lee made an astute observation. Quote:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. 

After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result democracy collapses because loose fiscal policy is always followed by a dictatorship”

For many years I considered human nature acts out of self-interest not just for oneself but for those we love – our family and community.

Willingly imposing a dictatorship on those we love seemed contrary to human nature.

Surely I thought, there would be a point where the public would realise we were on a path to dictatorship and change direction.

To change our direction we must be unified, we must be tolerant and forgiving.

Our future is not one of retribution, anger and hate.

Our future must be unity, forgiveness, love and strength. These are the qualities that create a community.

Those assembled outside today have reached their point of awareness.

The millions who have attended freedom rallies around Australia have also reached their point of awareness.

Sadly this Parliament has not.

I have never been more nervous for the future of this beautiful country than I am right now.

It is clear we may be approaching the end days of democracy as predicted 200 years ago.

We are witnessing the controlled demolition of not just our treasury and our democracy, but our community.

We are on a path to a soft dictatorship ‘for our own good’.

Nothing about this is for our own good.

Our grandparents enjoyed abundance, freedom and personal sovereignty – these things do not feature in the conversation being advanced by this Parliament.

Husband has been turned against wife, parent against child, sibling against another.

Our young are being seduced into a world of selfish hedonism that begets apathy towards family and community.

Women are being erased, replaced with offensive language such as uterus owner and birthing parent. Forced to compete against biological men to make clear their new debased status afforded them by the Brave New World of globalist groupthink.

This is just evil.

Government dependence is treated as a right – as though it were somehow noble to live off the hard work of others.

We are being led into a world where the middle class no longer exists, only a financial elite and their ‘Nomenklatura’ – a pampered and privileged administrative class, tasked with carrying out the instructions of the elites.

High paid corporate and diplomatic ‘thank-you jobs’ are clearly on offer to politicians who have expended their political capital implement globalism.

Meanwhile everyday Australians have no such escape.

Life for so many, including those I met with on Monday, means working harder and going backward.

During COVID the world’s richest billionaires have seen their wealth increase by $3 trillion, while the wealth of citizens has gone backward by that same amount.

COVID has represented the largest transfer of wealth in human history.

Everyday Australians have less while billionaires have more.

This Parliament is responsible for destroying the Australian economy, destroying small business, destroying hope.

The media, major pharmaceutical companies, banks, political donors and health bureaucrats have the same owners – Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street Capital, amongst others.

These funds invest the wealth of the world’s richest crony capitalists, and now control wealth equal to one third of the world’s GDP – $25 trillion USD.

In Australia this wealth has been invested to create controlling interests in Australia’s largest companies – retailers, banks, media and pharmaceutical companies.

As a result crony capitalists now control Australia.

Under this Parliament a future awaits everyday Australians that is nothing more than 18th century feudalism with a public relations budget.  

What never gets mentioned is that democracy is not part of this “reset”

What awaits is something the UN calls ‘stakeholder governance’.

Unelected, unrepresentative Corporations and their nomenklatura will decide how we live our lives.

Parliament will be reduced to debating and passing resolutions that have no legal standing.

This is exactly how the European Parliament works now.

The EU Parliament is analogous to putting a plastic steering wheel on the back of the driver’s seat of the family car so your kids think they are driving.

This is our future under the globalist philosophy that now dictates the actions of the Liberals, the Nationals, the Greens and the ALP.

We the people are not in control, we are allowed to feel we are in control.

When it comes to COVID there is no ‘sitting this one out’

Recent events have made it clear everyday Australians do not have to be interested in politics for politics to be interested in them.

During COVID, small businesses who carried on with running their business the way they always have, serving their communities, not discriminating on the basis of race, religion or medical status are, under COVID measures, being sent broke and their owners fined or worse, arrested.

Politics came for them.

Shortly Australians must decide.

Do you remain prisoners in your cities, states and now in quarantine camps?

Do you remain prisoners of media-driven fear?

Or do you forge a path of freedom born of personal responsibility and inclusion?

Inclusion. It is ironic how that word has been reinvented to mean the majority accepting the viewpoint of a small and noisy minority, as a device to move society further and further towards a single world view.

Senator Chisholm moved a motion in support of doing that only yesterday.

With his matter of urgency, Senator Chisholm was kind enough to show us where the ALP would take Australia – for public order, the Senator said, dissent must be oppressed.

The world view, which our Parliament now advances has the fundamental assumption that people cannot be trusted to behave in the best interests of their community and so must be treated as convicts not citizens.

Robbed of free choice and implicit in that, robbed of freedom itself.

Freedom is now written in inverted commas by our media, who are promoting an agenda of hatred and division on behalf of their billionaire owners.

The ABC are compliant because totalitarianism excites the political left, tyranny and socialism go together like the words ‘rare’ and ‘side-effects’.

Inseparable, relentless, evil.

Christmas and Easter, Australia Day and Anzac Day, and let’s not forget fathers day, had to be extinguished because they offer a chance to renew the bonds that unite us as a family, as a community and a nation.

The time for people to trust the government is over, it is now time for the government to trust the people.

This, the people’s house of Parliament, must stand in defence of the values that forged this country.

The war on family, on community and Christianity must end in this sitting.

For we will be convicts no more.

We have one flag, we are one community, we are one nation.

Freedom protests worrying major parties

,

The recent freedom protests across the country are a major worry for the major parties. This weekend stands as a warning to power-hungry politicians and bureaucrats.

Transcript

Last weekend, more than half a million Australians came together to protest anti-human, and possibly criminal governments. The media were there, not to report on proceedings accurately and with integrity, but to lie and cover up for our medical dictatorships. What we all saw around Australia was not right-wing extremists.

What One Nation saw was everyday Australians united in a desire to get government and health bureaucrats out of their lives, to be left alone to make the best decisions for their bodies and for the bodies of their children. It was no surprise that a common sign being held high was “My Body My Choice,” on one occasion, written on the back of a Greens election poster. Apparently “My Body My Choice” is a value the Greens abandoned, and their hypocrisy is widely noticed.

The Liberal Party should be scared at the number of signs from small businesses that capricious, callous government mandates shut down. The closures destroyed lives and weakened local communities. The Labor Party should be concerned at the hand-written t-shirts from former unionists in health care, education, police and emergency services, and healthcare facilities, fired for the crime of respecting their bodies. Labour voters know more.

Another sign simply read “Pray, Reflect, Vote.” Religious leaders advocating action contrary to religious teaching are not going to come out of this unscathed. The rallies were peaceful and the mood was positive, energised. Many Australians have realised that fear is the virus, and the cure is to embrace family and community with love and inclusion.

The only fear was from some small groups of spectators infected with the media mutation. The weekend stands as a warning to all power crazed health bureaucrats, state premiers and federal politicians. We have one flag, we are one community, we are one people, we are one nation, and we will not be scared and bullied into surrendering our bodies and our freedoms.

COVID HEARING

,

Today, I questioned Senate Select Committee on COVID-19 witnesses from Services Australia and the Digital Transformation Agency in regard to their development of a Digital Passport.  These passport are unnecessary and will divide Australians into two tiers, barring many everyday Australians out of the places and businesses, we have a right to enjoy. 

Australian businesses have already stated that they are hesitant to check the vaccine status of customers due to concerns about staffing capacity and privacy implications.

It is a human right to engage in peaceful assembly and any government who threatens these rights restricts freedom for all of us.

The right to protest is protected by a body of law going back 800 years

, ,

Would the Attorney-General like to take another run at explaining why parliaments in Australia are not in breach of the very principles that define our legal system, the Bible and the Magna Carta, reinforced by the much more recent United Nations charter on human rights?

This is Australia in 2021. It’s a disgrace. We need our freedoms back and we need an Attorney-General who understands the basics on which our freedoms are based.

Transcript

Thank you, Madam Deputy President. I reference the response by the Attorney-General, Senator Cash, to my question on freedom to protest under the body of Australian law. Senator Cash fluffed on about what is in fact a basic element of our democracy.

What she seems to have forgotten is that there is an overarching principle: the right to freedom is a basic inalienable right that our body of law has been formed around. Our laws reflect our Christian heritage and should always do so. Our governing document, our national Constitution, for instance, references God in its preamble.

Without being presumptuous, and while I’m not a biblical scholar or a church-goer, perhaps I should have asked myself earlier than this a fundamental question: what would God do? It turns out that the Bible is quite clear on the issue of freedom. From Galatians 5:1:

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm … and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

In this epistle, Paul was urging the new churches he had founded in Galatia to stand against those who were trying to subvert the freedom Christianity had given. Paul’s epistle to the faithful in Galatia could have been written today. The battle for freedom and darkness exist now, as it did 2,000 years ago.

We spent 2,000 years writing a body of law to implement Christian principles, including the right to freedom. These freedoms were first enshrined in the Magna Carta Libertatum—literally the ‘great charter of freedoms’ that the head of the church at the time, the Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote in 1215.

Our Attorney-General has demonstrated not only a lack of understanding of man’s laws; she has failed to demonstrate an understanding of God’s laws. Being sworn in on the Bible is clearly no guarantee of believing a word of it. While eminent biblical scholars advise that the Bible is properly understood in context, how could the Attorney-General not have looked this up at any time in the five months the senator has occupied her role?

Five months of widespread and sustained media and social media conversations around the right to protest and the Attorney-General, the highest law officer in the land, was missing in action. Was she not curious about what the law actually said? Let me help on that in the time remaining.

The Magna Carta was written in response to King John exercising his powers, using the principle of vis et voluntas, which translates as ‘force and will’—the making of decisions that were above the law and then using force to create compliance, much like parliaments around Australia are doing right now. Lord Denning described the Magna Carta as:

… the greatest constitutional document of all times—the foundation of the freedom of the individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot”

I looked through the Magna Carta and I couldn’t see the COVID exemption that allows governments to destroy human rights and do whatever they want if they can get the population scared enough to accept it. Of course, there is no exemption afforded power-mad governments and unelected bureaucrats.

In 1948, before the UN turned into the problem and not the solution, the United Nations charter on human rights declared a few things on freedom of protest that parliaments around Australia are conveniently ignoring. Article 19:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference …

Article 20:

Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

Article 21:

Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country …

This is what protesters are doing: participating in governance, exercising their right to free speech and free association. That’s the very definition of a protest. These are rights that article 30 of the United Nations declaration of human rights protects. It binds governments from breaching the declaration.

It would appear that the Prime Minister and the premiers are seeking to wind back our right to freedom to that which existed prior to 1215, to give themselves the powers that King John used force to exercise.

Would the Attorney-General like to take another run at explaining why parliaments in Australia are not in breach of the very principles that define our legal system, the Bible and the Magna Carta, reinforced by the much more recent United Nations charter on human rights?

I wonder what Monica is thinking, languishing in jail with the promise that she can get out, providing she renounces her membership of a political party. This is Australia in 2021. It’s a disgrace. We need our freedoms back and we need an Attorney-General who understands the basics on which our freedoms are based.

Government doesn’t create prosperity, free citizens do

, ,

Our country has been ruined by governments trying to pick and choose winners instead of letting people be free to invent new and innovative solutions. We used to lead the world, inventing the refrigerator, electric drill, tanks, pacemakers, ultrasounds and wifi. Not anymore.

The right to raise ourselves up through hard work and enterprise is a freedom that must not be compromised. It must be protected.

Transcript

Later this year we will pass an amazing milestone when an Australian designed and made satellite will be launched into space using an Australian designed and made rocket and launch facility. We now have a domestic end-to-end space capability, creating jobs and injecting new wealth into our economy. Government has not achieved this, private enterprise has, proving once again that governments do not create wealth; free personal enterprise creates wealth. For many years, we led the world in innovation, inventing the refrigerator in 1856, electric drill in 1889, military tanks in 1912, pacemakers in 1928, ultrasounds in 1961 and wifi in 1992. But that’s where the list ends, 30 years ago.

Australia once led the world in patents; now China registers four times the patents per capita that Australia does. This is partly the fault of the big banks, whose tight hold on the capital sector funding for business development is throttling investment, suffocating beneath our banks greedy obsession with real estate. The government, through its future growth fund, has taken upon itself the role of picking winners and losers amongst start-ups, making private sector growth beholden to government bureaucrats. Lockdowns have decimated small business and forced medium and large businesses to shelve research and development plans.

Australia is going backwards and is losing the ability for citizens to support themselves through their own hard work and enterprise. Reliance on government handouts appears to be a design feature of Prime Minister Morrison’s socialist version of Australia. Instead, One Nation will shrink the government to fit the Constitution, we will get government out of the way of free enterprise, we will let the Australian spirit out of [inaudible] to then invent and create to carry this nation forward, even to space. We have one flag, we have one community, we are one nation. The right to raise ourselves up through hard work and enterprise is a freedom that must not be compromised. It must remain.

ON FREEDOM

, ,

Governments are squashing freedoms like never before. History will show that those on the side of freedom will always be on the right side.

Transcript

As a servant to the people of Queensland and Australia, I speak tonight on freedom. On many occasions in the last year I have addressed the Senate in regard to freedom as a counterbalance to medical tyranny. And I recently addressed the Canberra Freedom Rally, remotely. The side that is locking people up for the crime of being healthy, arresting protesters, pepper spraying kids, beating up grannies, banning books and electronic messages, censoring social media, sending threatening letters, forcing small businesses to close, urging people to dob in dissenters and banning safe drugs that have worked for 60 years are all on the wrong side of history.

In a frightening development, New South Wales has called in the troops to keep innocent, healthy citizens locked in their homes in what can only be called martial law. Recent freedom marches showed what happens to citizens who exercise their democratic right to protest. People are demonised, hunted down; the media vilifies them to discourage others from questioning the control state. If the government can decide who is free and who is not, then that is not freedom and no-one is free. A crisis will always be found to justify measures designed to protect the government, not the public—a crisis that is as is easy to create as turning up the PCR test from 24 cycles to 42, where a false positive is the most likely outcome, as has occurred.

Actions such as these have created a crisis of confidence in government, and that, fellow citizens, is on the Senate. We are the house of review. We’re tasked with a duty to ensure honesty, transparency and accountability in the government of the day. We have failed in that solemn duty, our duty to our constituents. We have failed those who are yet to vote, our children, who are now being injected with a substance that has not undergone meaningful safety testing. The Liberal, National and Labor parties have colluded to waive these measures through this place, reducing the Senate to the status of a dystopian echo chamber.

Each new restriction, although met with rightful public opposition, has not led to a re-evaluation but, rather, has led the government to crack down even further. The Morrison government is behaving like a gambling addict who loses a hand but doubles down instead of admitting error and walking away. With troops now on the streets, it’s frightening to contemplate where this will end. Everyday Australians are being deliberately demoralised to extract a higher degree of compliance. When COVID first arrived, there were few masks, and the experts and authorities told us masks were not necessary. Now, those same medically ineffective masks are used to condition people to fear and obedience. Crushing resistance crushes hope, and without hope we have no future.

Is it any wonder that small businesses are closing permanently? Every small business that closes is a family that was being provided for through hard work and enterprise. Who will look after those families now—the government? With whose money? The Reserve Bank, using electronic journal entries, can only create fiat money out of thin air for so long before it runs down our country. The government can only sell bonds until buyers stop coming forward. Then what happens? We will have no tax base left to pay government stipends to people who were once able to pay their own way.

Since when has the Liberal Party, the supposedly party of Menzies, been dedicated to making huge sections of the population totally reliant on the government for survival? The bad joke here is that the excuse used to justify the sudden rush to Marxism—public health—is moot. Death from all sources, including coronavirus and the flu, are at historic lows. Australia’s death rate in 2020 was less than in 2019, and 2021’s death rate is lower again. We’re strangling Australia’s economic life and future for no reason. Power has gone to the heads of our elected leaders and unelected bureaucrats, who are exercising powers yet do not feel the consequences themselves.

Never in history has Lord Acton’s famous quote rung more true: ‘Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ It’s been calculated that the civil disobedience tipping point—which is the maximum capacity of the police to arrest people, of the jails to hold people and of the courts to process people—is in Australia around 100,000 people. Anything more than that and the system comes crashing down. Attendance at the freedom rallies last month shows we’re almost there.

No wonder the Morrison government has been scared into resorting to the refuge of tyrants—using the military to intimidate civilians into compliance and to mandating injections and threatening to rip away people’s livelihoods.

Everyday Australians are seeing through the smokescreens of fear and intimidation. People now see that the costs of the restrictions to family and community exceed the medical cost of the virus. Everyday Australians have spoken. We will not be divided, we are united, we are one community, we are one nation.
