21 Oct: Australian Liberty Alliance launches new political party in Australia

  Australian Liberty Alliance to represent “ordinary Australians” By Martin Lehmann On October 20, I was privileged to attend the launch of a new political party that will surely change the political landscape in Australia forever. Amid tight security we were driven by buses to a secret location outside Perth Metropolitan area. The guest of honour was one of the most high-profile political figures in the Western world, leader of the PVV, the most popular political party in the Netherlands, Dutch parliamentarian, Geert Wilders. It is a sad reflection of the society in which we live that Mr Wilders must be accompanied by an extraordinary level of security. In attendance at the launch were four federal police officers, a uniformed WA police officer, an unknown number of undercover WA police, Mr Wilders own security detail, together with a phalanx of security personnel hired by the ALA. Geert Wilders told the…

21 Nov: The political assassination of Pauline Hanson

Kerry Packer, Rupert Murdoch, Terry Sharples, Tony Abbott and Patsy Wolfe – these names will forever live in infamy in Australian politics as Pauline Hanson’s assassins.   From the time Ms Hanson broke the journalists’ taboo on discussing Aboriginal welfare and Asian immigration the Packer and Murdoch journalists have attacked her with a savage, unrelenting fury. When the Liberal Party realised Ms Hanson threatened the comfortable duopoly of the major parties it despatched chief head-kicker, Tony Abbott to dig up the dirt on Pauline Hanson. Abbott found a co-conspirator in human termite, Terry Sharples. The Queensland establishment did the rest.  Threats to democracy   There is clear evidence that there have been two serious attacks on Australia’s democratic process in relation to the Pauline Hanson saga. The left-leaning, politically correct journalists of Packer, Murdoch, the ABC and SBS have quite clearly attacked and compromised the democratic process. Their vicious attacks…

21 Nov: Pauline Hanson: Australian media a threat to democracy

Martin Lehmann – 1 February 2001 One million Australian voters were dis-enfranchised at the last Federal election due to blatant media interference in the democratic process. The One Nation party received one million votes but did not get one member elected in the House of Representatives.  With the looming WA state election, the media has again demonstrated its dangerous control over the political process by threatening retaliation against any political party daring to do a preference swap with One Nation. How did such an undemocratic situation occur? When the power elites, comprising the two major political parties and the media barons, realised the One Nation party could pose a threat to their cosy oligarchy they set out to destroy the party and its leader, Pauline Hanson. The Murdoch press led the charge. In a disgraceful display it vilified Pauline Hanson at every turn. Other media outlets and journalists followed blindly…

21 Nov: Pauline Hanson: Vicious media attacks frighten off politicians

John Howard conned by the media Martin Lehmann – 14 March 1999 John Howard is too weak to stand up to the media. Their anti-Hanson onslaught has reduced Howard to a quivering blob of media compliance. Howard’s weakness has allowed the media to hoodwink him into placing One Nation last on all Liberal how-to-vote cards. He has used considerable influence to get all Liberal branches to fall into line – often against their better judgement. Minor party preferences have played a significant role in Australian elections for decades. It greatly assists a major party to have a minor party with a philosophical alliance to capture the swinging voters and the protest votes and deliver them back via preferences. This has worked very well for the Labor Party in recent years. Preference votes of the Democrats and Greens have kept Labor in power even when their primary vote was less then…

21 Nov: Pauline Hanson’s maiden speech in federal parliament

The speech that struck at the heart of political correctness and challenged the authority of the ruling elites Read also – Analysis of Pauline  Hanson’s maiden speech Tuesday, 10th September 1996.         5.15pm : Mister Acting Speaker, in making my first speech in this place, I congratulate you on your election and wish to say how proud I am to be here as the Independent member for Oxley. I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life’s knocks. My view on issues is based on commonsense, and my experience as a mother of four children, as a sole parent, and as a businesswoman running a fish and chip shop. I won the seat of Oxley largely on an issue that has resulted in me being called a racist. That issue related to my comment that Aboriginals received more benefits than…

21 Nov: Analysis of Pauline Hanson’s maiden speech in federal parliament

Martin Lehmann – 8 September, 2003 This is the speech that drove the ruling elites and left-wing media into paroxysms of self-righteous  fury. The Murdoch, Fairfax and Packer journalists, together with the politically correct zealots from the ABC and SBS seized on these words, twisted them into a parody of lies, deceit and slander to launch one of the most defamatory, vicious and scurrilous attacks on the character of a person ever seen in Australia. The journalists spewed out venomous propaganda reminiscent of Nazi Germany. And they followed the Nazi principle that no matter how big the lie, if you tell it often enough it will be believed. The lies they told were: 1) Hansom is anti-Aboriginal 2) Hanson is racist 3) Hanson is xenophobic 4) Hanson is a threat to Australia and to Australia’s reputation. Other journalists, in typical lazy journalistic fashion, uncritically repeated the lies until all journalists…
