This is a a repost of my earlier post from the blogger.com website. I think it's relevant now when the Liberals want a revue of the Australian History subjects around the schooling changed, arguing that its mainly inclined to leftist views. Well, I say this may open a whole lotta can of worms, especially when young people that aspire to spread the Good Liberal Views! around. If the education minister (Liberal by the way) thinks that the current history syllabus taught all over Australian schools are "staright out of Chairman Mao's book," thank God help us all if we educate our kids under her "centred-impartial" approach. This is a smoke screen to hide the real intentions behind the Liberal think tank's division known as the "new age inquisition", to raise a whole generation that revere the old ways and be sympathatic to Australia's aspirations of emperialism and it's ties to the old world. This is truly a scary world that may come to pass before we know it unless we stand up against the well oilled machine of mass "right-wing" conversion.
Monarchist and Racist Amongst The Young Liberals
Dear All
It was a couple of nights ago on ABC’s nightline (and I have to admit, I did watch the ABC even though I hate that channel) that a news segment showed a bunch of young people from the Young Liberal Party chanting “We’re Racist, We’re Sexist, We’re Homophobic!” during a University student union gathering. This can be seen on http://abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200607/s1690096.htm. It was also really ironic how some of these youths were female uni students (maybe they’d advocate for a new uni degree titled Bachelor of Homemaking and Bunny Boiling, and lecture the classes). If that was crude, nothing can be cruder than a follow up interview segment on an aboriginal leader’s outrage when these alledged young Liberals interrupting his speech on aboriginal rights with the ENGLISH anthem “God save the queen.” When a request for a minutes silence had gone to remember those of the stolen generation, they broke into “Advance Australia Fair.”
While the president of the young Liberals party has issued a comment that these particular people do not represent the views of the Liberal Party, questions of whether this is really the case arise. A year or so back, John Brogden, Liberal Party Opposition Leader for NSW committed political hara-kiri. While he denies being racist or having any racial prejudicial intent behind it. All it took was a good tucker at a public relations dinner, some good vino to wash it down, and oops! It all comes tumbling out. Have a good ol’ crack at Bob’s missus. And here we have a premier hopeful in the state of NSW, a state occupied by various ethic groups, a hot pot of different cultures to mingle together, and a state that is sometimes embroiled with what apparently seems to be ethnic tension. So here we have two events concerning the Liberal Party. Both having a snipe at a group of people who have faced genocide in a land they have lived in for 40,000 plus years, and an ordinary “first lady of NSW” who happens to be yellow. If the whole is comprised by the sum of its parts, then some parts are seriously faulty, or they indicate evils underneath the surface.
Hmm, maybe we should all return the favour by singing the Australian Anthem as these youth lie on their death beds dying of a slow painful disease, or when they feel the depressing effects of being unemployed and have to resort the public housing in Redfern or being hunted down as part of a genocide program. Better yet, we should kidnap them, or they’re kids, and sent them to be brought up by various tribes in the outback. That would be a cause for celebration.
If such an act is condemn as “un-Australian” in terms of values, then Peter Costello had better walk the walk with those words he said regarding immigration to Australia, and deport those haters to England, their apparent true home, land of freezing winters, inadequate bureaucratic system and inconsistently performing cricket and rugby teams. If he thinks that what they’re doing is in fact not un-Australian… than oh boy….!
I think it’s strange that young skips would sing the English Anthem on a ground that has defied everything English. It has defied a class system, especially one that claims status by birth. Reading through a short history of Australia’s Westernisation, the first westerners here were in fact Irish advocates for Home Rule in Ireland and Trade Unionist. Others from England themselves were poor ordinary peasants who stole to feed themselves while the uhhppah classsssssss (raise nose and look down for a more dramatic effect) were having pudding and tea and conspiring to display even more contempt for those not born rich enough. Other new settlers came from Hong Kong, the West Indies, Corsica, Korea and even China in those turbulent times (http://www.pilotguides.com/destination_guide/pacific/australia/convict_australia/who_were_the_convicts.php). Rather than go back and serve those who are apparently born greater than them, they duked it out in a land some consider a hell hole, and built the paradise as we know it today.
If one claims Ned Kelly as a true blue Aussie, and if he were alive today, he would have skinned those kids, encased them in armour, and declare a fatwa or their arses. But such an event may never happen, but one thing that is true about dear old Ned, is that he would never sing that horrid anthem. He carried his cause of a free Ireland and a Republic here in Australia itself to the grave. The youths that sang those bitter words when a message was given to describe the plight of fellow countrymen must seriously have a strange guilt or identity crisis.
If any of those youths should claim to be “true Australians” using the criteria of generation claims, than they would sorely miss out against aboriginal Australians by about 114. Being here for 40,000 years surely counts as something. If they choose the criteria of being descended from convicts, then they have no right to sledge other migrant groups that were transported here along with those coming from Britain. There were black convicts, Asian convicts and others as well. If they claim that being truly Australian is based on them being English, or Anglo-Saxon, then they better make sure they have no Celtic ancestry otherwise that would be really embarrassing, especially if their grandfolks were Irish republican fighters or related to William Wallace’s bunch. Perhaps they should have sung Ireland’s Call. If they claim that being truly Australian is based on the criteria of not being an immigrant, or descendents of immigrants, than the only true Aussies are those of aboriginal decent.
Perhaps those youths want to assert their Englishness in a sea of different coloured people that make up this nation. Maybe the Australian identity itself is so hard for them to grasp that they would rather call a land of –15 degree winters, a history of lower classes getting the stick, and a diet mainly consisting of fried fish and chips home. So what the bloody fuck are they doing here?
The only time we here the English Anthem sung is when they’re rugby team are expected to lose, and Australian Anthem being sung before and after they’re team is battered by the faithful Green and Gold. I wonder if those youths cried when the English team last lost their test here a while ago?
So Mr. Costello, even though I may not be a citizen, I think I might be tempted to vote for you (assuming I do take up citizenship or get the vote irrespective) if you would live up to your words and boot these haters out for being un-Australian. I know these young Liberals are being groomed to be the next generation of Liberal leaders and hopefully take up politics. I know some of them may even look up to you as a kind of idol. Some may even keep posters if you on their walls, praying to God (or Satan as I suspect) that you would lead them to the Final Victory! (Assume German Accent and Nazi regalia for a more dramatic effect) What better way for them to know that you truly are no second fiddle by showing that you are da man and boot their arses home to their country of origin (England as they would claim). In the vary least, you could always declare a fatwa on their arses.
