Cronulla captain Paul Gallen has been fined $10,000 by the NRL for making racial comments during the Sharks’ weekend match against St George Illawarra.
Gallen was accused of inciting Dragons player Mickey Paea during the Sharks’ 26-4 loss at home Saturday evening.
The NRL says even though Paea did not make a formal complaint, there was little doubt the comments were of a racial nature.
Gallen has since apologised for the comments.
The league’s chief executive David Gallop says the NRL holds a tough stance on racism.
“While the apology is certainly an important step in the right direction there needs to be a clear recognition that racial vilification is not tolerated in rugby league,” he said in a statement.
“This is not something that happens on a regular basis and it is not something that can be dismissed under the guise of ‘what happens on the field stays on the field’.
“I respect the fact that Mickey Paea has dealt with the issue ‘one to one’ and that he wishes to move on.
“However, the area of racial vilification is also something that is bigger than two individuals, it involves a principle that we must support across all areas of the game.”
The fine continues a wretched season for the beleaguered Cronulla Sharks who are fighting for their existence on the back of crippling debts and the loss of a major sponsor.
The club’s reputation has also been savaged after a piece on ABC1’s Four Corners pogram earlier this month exposed a culture of group sex during a 2002 trip to New Zealand.
The club has lost its last nine NRL games and wallows at the bottom of the premiership standings.
A RACIST video posted on US-based internet site YouTube is yet to be removed, despite a Perth man being charged for allegedly uploading the anti-Semitic film.
Police Commissioner Karl O’Callaghan today said his officers had so far been unsuccessful in their negotiations with YouTube to have the controversial video pulled from the site, but inquiries were continuing.
Maylands man Brendon O’Connell, 38, was yesterday charged under racial vilification laws for allegedly posting anti-Semitic video on the internet site.
Mr O’Connell is seen on film in front of Perth’s Bell Tower and at a South Perth supermarket while allegedly making anti-Semitic comments.
He was yesterday charged by the police State Security Investigation Group with conduct with intent to incite racial animosity or racist harassment.
The maximum penalty for the offence is 14 years’ jail, or fines of up to $24,000.
“Our officers have been dealing with youtube,” Mr O’Callaghan told reporters this morning.
“They are a US based company. We don’t have any jurisdiction over them, but we have been working with them to pull the video down and they have been fairly co-operative in the past.
“Now I can’t forecast what the outcome will be here, but we are continuing to work with youtube on the issue.”
Opposition Multicultural Interests spokesman John Hyde - who alerted police, Jewish community leaders and the Ethnic Communities Council of WA about the videos - praised WA Police for using the anti-vilification laws to lay the charges.
“Members of the multicultural community can take comfort in the knowledge that this alleged race hate crime will now go before the courts,” Mr Hyde said.
It is believed to be the second time a person has been charged under the racial vilification laws, which were introduced by the previous Labor government and were designed to outlaw the publication, distribution or display in oral, written or pictorial form of material that was threatening or abusive and intended to cause hatred or contempt or ridicule.
Update
Friends of Palestine note in a press release that the individual in question was never a member of their organisation and had crashed their protest, presumably for his own ends. FightDemBack! would like to remind commentators that the Friends of Palestine are an innocent party to this incident and have publically condemned Anti-Semitism as unwelcome to their cause.
Holocaust denier Fredrick Toben jailed
By Sean Fewster
May 13, 2009
“REVISIONIST historian” Fredrick Toben has been given a three-month jail term for contempt of court - but has also won a 14-day reprieve to file appeal papers.
On his way into the Federal Court this morning, the controversial website operator vowed he was ready to be jailed, without regret, for expressing his beliefs about the Holocaust and Jewish people.
“I’ve mentally prepared myself to go inside for a few weeks or months,” he told AdelaideNow.
“Anyone who expresses an opinion should not be silenced because someone else is offended, but my opinions have been criminalised.”
In his judgment, Justice Bruce Lander said Toben breached Federal Court orders to stop implying Jewish people offended by Holocaust denial were of “limited intelligence”.
Justice Lander imposed the jail term, and ordered he pay costs, for 24 counts of contempt of court.
Toben’s lawyer immediately launched into a two-hour plea for leniency, saying he would lodge several appeals and seek to have his client serve his sentence under home detention.
Though lengthy, the submissions failed to impress Justice Lander.
“I must say that these applications are made in an entirely unsatisfactory way,” he said.
“Notwithstanding that, I will stay the imprisonment for 14 days – I would not want Toben to serve time in prison if there were an error in my reasons.”
Extremists banned from Britain named by Home Office
By Richard Edwards, Crime Correspondent
A total of 101 individuals - including dozens of radical Muslim clerics, such as Omar Bakri - have been excluded in the past four years, using new powers introduced after the July 7 bombings in 2005.
Two thirds of them have been banned for “fomenting, justifying or glorifying terrorist violence” and provoking others to carry out terrorist atrocities.
The 16 named today, who have been excluded in the past six months, include six militant Muslims, four men who front Neo-Nazi groups, a Sri-Lankan Tamil Tiger leader, a former member of the Palestine Liberation Front and a right-wing American radio chat show host. Six others banned since October are not named because it is not considered “in the public interest”.
After years of criticism, the tougher exclusions policy is an attempt to take “stronger action against those we suspect of stirring up tensions”, the Home Office said. More than five “promoters of hate” are being excluded a month.
However while the strict measures ban extremists from entering Britain, questions are being asked about the continued “threat from within”.
Jacqui Smith has faced repeated calls to ban the Hizb ut-Tahrir group, and the successor organisation of al-Muhajiroun, both of which Tony Blair promised to proscribe in 2005.
They insist they are non-violent, however the organisations, which have thrived on university campuses, are accused of providing a gateway to more extremist groups - a claim they deny.
Two months ago The Daily Telegraph disclosed that the Home Office had also failed to shut down a single terrorist website, despite a similar pledge by the former Prime Minister four years ago.
The individuals concerned include animal rights extremists, right to life extremists, homophobe extremists, far right extremists, as well as advocates of hatred and violence in support of their religious beliefs.
Those banned on grounds of their “unacceptable behaviour” include preachers Abdullah Qadri Al Ahdal, Wadgy Mohamed Ghoneim and Yunis Al Astal. All of them are considered to “foment, justify or glorify terrorist violence”.
Also excluded is Michael Savage, a right-wing American talk radio host with eight million listeners a week, who describes his own style as “explosive” and liberalism as a “mental disorder”.
He once asked whether President Barack “Madrasah” Obama was a “so-called friendly Muslim” or one more “radical”.
The Home Office said that Mr Savage was “considered to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence”.
Miss Smith, Home Secretary, said: “Coming to the UK is a privilege and I refuse to extend that privilege to individuals who abuse our standards and values to undermine our way of life. Therefore, I will not hesitate to name and shame those who foster extremist views as I want them to know that they are not welcome here.
“The Government opposes extremism in all its forms and I am determined to stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country. This is the driving force behind tighter rules on exclusions for unacceptable behaviour”.
The face of the white supremacy movement in New Zealand is walking away from rightwing groups and moving from Christchurch to marry a devout Christian woman in Hamilton.
Kyle Chapman, the former leader of the National Front, married Claire Clifford at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Tuhikaramea Rd, last night. The couple only saw each other in person for the first time in 3 1/2 years yesterday morning.
The couple will live on her lifestyle block on the outskirts of Hamilton, with Mr Chapman, who said he was an unwilling poster boy for right-wing extremism, committing to her Mormon faith.
The pair met in Christchurch nearly four years ago when Ms Clifford was on her Mormon mission. They lost contact over the past three years and met again on the social networking website Facebook a month ago. They spent 80 hours on the phone in two weeks, decided to marry and Mr Chapman flew into the city yesterday morning.
“I’m here because I want to have a nice peaceful life with Claire. She is an example of a righteous woman,” Mr Chapman said before the ceremony.
He was quitting his roles with the Nationalist Alliance and The Survive Club, and hoped the people of the Waikato would give him a chance.
But he’s not banking on it. He has fears for his and Claire’s safety and still holds some of the beliefs that made him a reviled figure. “A lot of people still have aggressive ideals towards me,” he said.
It’s little wonder. The 38-year-old father of five, to four different women including one ex-wife, is a former skinhead who was addicted to alcohol and drugs.
In his younger days in Invercargill he admitted to a series of arsons between 1987 and 1992, including fire-bombing a marae.
His time in the National Front gained him plenty of media coverage and notoriety, the most memorable incident a clash on the streets of Wellington where 50 of his supporters, many skinheads, got into a bloody battle with 800 marchers from the Multicultural Aotearoa rally.
He resigned as leader of the National Front in 2005, citing pressure on his children, who were being shunned at school. But he continued to lead far-right groups.
Only in January this year he revealed plans for a commune-style mini-state in North Canterbury for “like-minded Europeans” to have training areas for sport fighting, a protected community and gatherings for active nationalists.
Mr Chapman yesterday said that was likely to go ahead when enough money had been saved, but it would do so without him.
He wanted to focus on his marriage. “I intend to live a calm lifestyle; I can’t do that as the leader of anything.
“I’m about to move my whole life here. I’m about to walk away from a two-year contract in the middle of a recession. This is all based on faith.”
He had quit his job as a storeman at an electrical company in Christchurch and would look for work in Hamilton.
“I’ve found that the lifestyle many people live in the extreme right-wing movement is not what I want to live.”
He had made bids for Parliament and the Christchurch mayoralty, but said he had no Waikato political aspirations.
Mr Chapman, who has not drunk alcohol since he was 21, hoped his former supporters would understand.
“I’m the example of the Mormon who believes in the church but has been swayed away and has made mistakes.”
Some people would see him as a sellout. “Most of them will be happy for me though they’ll be bummed out I’m not with them. I love those guys, they are my brothers. This is no easy thing.”
Mr Chapman said his mother was a Mormon and he had gone back to religion before meeting Ms Clifford, 31, a private health worker.
Ms Clifford said church leaders were happy with her choice of husband. “They trust me, they’re really happy for me. We’ve (Kyle and her) prayed about it and it feels totally right.”
They were planning a family and intended serving a Mormon mission together.
Though Mr Chapman repeatedly said he had moderated and that extreme National Front policies like repatriation of Asians and Polynesians were the group’s, not his, he still had strong views.
”I still have concerns that all white people don’t have the same rights as some other people. But that’s irrelevant if we’re not finding a way of getting back to God.”
First, Nicole Hanley, an Australian employee of French corporation ‘The Thales Group’, has been suspended from her job following revelations that she is an active member of the international neo-Nazi skinhead organisation ‘Blood & Honour’:
One of Australia’s largest Defence Department-linked companies has suspended a contractor over her alleged links to an international neo-Nazi group.
Nicole Hanley, a bid support manager for Thales - which has hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Defence contracts - is alleged to have been involved as an administrator of the neo-Nazi web forum Blood & Honour.
The claims have been made by whistleblower site Wikileaks, which has published a hacked database containing private messages between the group’s members.
According to the Wikileaks private message trail it is claimed that Hanley has published a detailed online diary of her travels to Europe last year, which included attending several neo-Nazi skinhead gatherings, visiting Adolf Hitler’s birthplace, placing flowers on his parents’ grave and collecting Nazi memorabilia…
Secondly, B&H Australia has encountered a spot of bother following reports that the group is organising a gig in Perth on ANZAC Day (April 25). In response to criticism emanating from the RSL and general public, B&H Perth representative Murray Holmes compared Adolf Hitler to John HoWARd!
Mr Holmes said fascism had come a long way since the days when Adolf Hitler was Fuhrer.
“We’re not disciples of Hitler,” he assured.
“Adolf did some good and he did some bad, like Johnny Howard did good and bad, probably more bad than good.”
Joining Murray on stage on April 25 will be Jesse, a bonehead (and member of another nutzi group the Southern Cross Hammerskins) who sings in Melbourne band Ravenous. Jesse is also involved in a new business venture called 9percentproductions.com. A perusal of their online catalogue suggests that, contra Holmes, little has changed for nutzis since Adolf Hitler blew his brains out while hiding in his bunker in 1945. Some of the many fabulous items on sale include:
‘Der ewige Jude’ (The Eternal Jew) by Volkszorn;
‘Fetch the Rope’ by The Klansmen;
‘Freezer Full of Nigger Heads’ by Grinded Nig and;
‘Alcoholocaust’ by Jew Slaughter.
Dr James Saleam, Führer of the Australia First Party (NSW), may be a pompous fascist dingbat, but — it must be admitted — he has mad skillz.
In December 2008, Saleam wrote that the police shooting of Melbourne teenager Tyler Cassidy was the product of a political conspiracy aimed at the ‘nationalist’ movement. ‘Corrupt Political Police ‘Intelligence’ Killed Tyler Cassidy!’ he exclaimed, announcing that “Australia First Party will demonstrate at the Coroner’s Court when an investigation is held into Tyler’s Cassidy’s death”.
More recently (February/March 2009), AF endorsed two candidates in the Queensland state election: Peregrine John Beverley Jewell in Toowoomba North and Peter Schuback in Hervey Bay.
Peregrine is a fascist stalwart, having established the ‘Confederate Action Party’ (a precursor to One Nation) in the early ’90s, as well as having involved himself in various other crackpot schemes. For his part, as well as being vice-president of the ‘Australian Long Distance Owners and Drivers Association’ and owner of ‘Mineral and Mine Movers Transport’, Peter is a perennial election candidate, having stood in 1998, 2001 (twice) and 2006. On these, as on the most recent occasion, Peter lost (as did Peregrine).
February also witnessed the departure of the ‘Australian Nationalism Information Database’ from the AF stable. Re-badged as ‘Ironbark Resources’, the site is now closely-linked to AF’s arch-rivals in the Australian Protectionist Party (the APP having split from AF in 2007).
In the meantime, Dr Jim’s 15-year-long Struggle to Clear His Name (he was convicted in 1991 of organising a shotgun assault upon the home of African National Congress representative Eddie Funde) and 5-year-long Battle to Register the Party continues unabated. Unfortunately, the number of those assisting Saleam in his Noble Quest appears to be dwindling. Below Herr Doktor explains the reasons he expelled the Brisbane branch of Australia First and the Patriotic Youth League, aka John Drew.
Australia First Expels Hanson / Green Party Supporter: Attempt To Disrupt Australia First Stymied
You either true fat or cut the flab
On the microphone hot it’s Skillz before heat
A wack nigga rhymin’, kills a raw beat
And I got both, ’bout to cook up a loaf of bread
on your motherfuckin’ head!
Australia First Party advises that it has today (March 25) expelled a Brisbane member, Mr. John Drew.
Mr. Drew, a former member of One Nation and of Australia First (when it was under other management in 2007) [Australia First Party makes like a banana…], was readmitted over members’ objections in 2007. He was nonetheless asked to carry out some secretarial and web site duties in Brisbane subject to positive performance.
In March 2009, Mr. Drew published upon the Queensland website material supportive both of the Pauline Hanson campaign and the Greens party campaign in the Queensland State election.
Mr. Drew objected to removing this material, although he finally did so. Australia First neither supports the opportunist pseudo populist Hanson, nor the open borders Greens party. Many party members protested about this material.
Simultaneously, Mr. Drew published material on an anti Australia First blogsite concerning earlier harassing allegations by our opponents that he supported the “Gay lifestyle” (sic). Despite numerous requests that he cease publishing these ambiguous statements about homosexuality and chiding this blogsite, he continued to write there. When asked whether he was homosexual, he vehemently denied it. Finally, he published a comment on March 17 concerning his attendance at a “Gay Parade” in Brisbane. This was clearly disingenuous and designed to instigate difficulties.
On March 18, Mr. Drew was suspended from membership. Today, he published upon the Brisbane Australia First website, the following comment.
“I advise that this web site will cease to be that of the Brisbane branch as of March 30 due to party member objections to some items of content and subsequent censorship by party officials. Another emerging party branch will utilise the domain name. I will be concentrating on my other interests one of which is the development of a fitness training/social group for gays. I will also active in Brisbane Sun Boys.”
We do not know whether the statements about gay interests are truthful, or whether they were designed to embarrass Australia First. We suspect only the latter.
Australia First has been under constant attack from various forces now for over three years. These attacks have included propaganda to divide the organisation. Persons have sought membership to disrupt the party. These attacks have intensified as we move towards registering the party and raising Australian nationalism up as a challenge to globalism.
This latest matter is just one more incident in a permanent struggle.
The last Queensland State committee meeting spoke of fishing out bad elements that might infiltrate Australia First. This we will continue to do. We serve the Australian people. Any element, whether it supports perverse lifestyles (sic), or whether it comes to push false agendas, will find no comfort here. On this occasion, we recognise only the agenda of another political party.
Hitler visits a lunatic asylum. The patients give the Hitler salute. As he passes down the line he comes across a man who isn’t saluting.
“Why aren’t you saluting like the others?” Hitler barks.
“Mein Führer, I’m the nurse,” comes the answer. “I’m not crazy!”
In the struggle to Protect Australia and to put it First, I’m growing increasingly worried.
First, s h o c k news that, as a result of his recent massive upswing in popularity, ribald political commentary and overall fitness, John Drew (aka ‘Australia First Brisbane’ / ‘Patriotic Youth League’) has been cruelly jettisoned by the Party. Or to put it another way:
Due to ever increasing interest in myself rather than Australia First’s Brisbane Branch I have bought the domain name johndrew.net and am preparing a web site that will provide a wide array of information including a very interesting photo gallery. Estimated date of going online with this personal web site is early to mid April…
I advise that this web site will cease to be that of the Brisbane branch as of March 30 due to party member objections to some items of content and subsequent censorship by party officials. Another emerging party branch will utilise the domain name. I will be concentrating on my other interests one of which is the development of a fitness training/social group for gays. I will also be active in Brisbane Sun Boys.
As keen, sun-bronzed young men across Australia know, ‘Brisbane Sun Boys’ is a “Nudist Club for Gay and Bisexual Men, over the age of 18, in Southeast Queensland who enjoy this natural life style”.
A number of questions present themselves at this point.
For example:
In this sordid drama, is Dr James Saleam (Australia First NSW) — or perhaps even Jim Perren (Australia First Queensland) — playing the role of ‘Denise LaSalle’? And is John Drew acting out the part of ‘Long Dong Silver’?
Further:
Will the runaway success enjoyed by the Patriotic Youth League — which has attracted such prominent personalities as Stuart McBeth, Luke Connors, James Newman, Lachlan Black and John Drew — be endangered by John’s leaving?
McBeth founded the PYL in Newcastle in 2002; he left in early 2005. Black was one of the founding members of the New South Wales branch of One Nation in 1997. He is now a member of the APP in the ACT.
Will Peter Watson, the Patriotic Youth from Warwick, now step forward and transform his powerful party machine the Stalinist League into a Nationalist Association 4 Yoof?
If Peter does join, will he get brain cancer from having the mobile phone pressed to his ear all day and all night, answering membership and media inquiries?
Only time will tell.
Elsewhere in Queensland, two AF supporters have bravely gone to the polls: Peregrine John Beverley Jewell and Peter Schuback. Neither gained an especially impressive number of votes, naturally, but their participation is (presumably) yet another giant stride forward for Australia.
Or is it?
On the other side of the White nationalist divide, the Australian Protectionist Party is… still protecting Australia. Like AF, the APP struggles with the political legacy of Dr James Saleam, who has recently denounced — again — the APP for its alleged support for Zionism. That is, The Jew.
The leading spokesperson for the APP is Darrin Hodges. Darrin is one of a number of former AF members, including Mark Wilson, to abandon Herr Doktor.
“i have some good colour footage (no sound) of Adolf Hitler at The Berghoff. PM me if you want a copy of the footage” Darrin once wrote on Stormfront, but since then he has displaced his fear and loathing of The Jew on to The Muslim, who, together with The Asian, The Black, The Greens, The Red and The Queer, now constitute the gravest threats to Australia.
Word on The Street is that The Jew, The Muslim, The Red and The Asian are led by
A Half-Human, Half-Lesbian, Half-Machine, Half-Asian, Half-Cyborg Future President of the Future United States of Asia!
Below is e x c l u s i v e footage of the Future President of the Future United States of Asia after being informed of the growing resistance to the politics of New World Order liberal-globalist-capitalism throughout Australia (and in the rest of the world) and shortly before boarding her EL AL Airlines flight bound for Toowoomba:
In a nutshell — a term which I use deliberately — the Melbourne members of the SCS have declared WAR! on the forces of political correctness. According to the patriotic teenyboppers, these nefarious forces are holding Australian governments and police hostage, and prevent them from tackling the anti-White racism which saturates Australian society.
…We are here to stand up for, and give Aussie communities a voice when the government is too politically correct and gutless to do it.
Racism cuts both ways. We are here to lobby, campaign, and raise awareness of the anti-Caucasian racism that the government and the police refuse to deal with. The racism that forced 5000 Australians to defend their beach community when the police wouldn’t for years.
We will not be silenced, we are not going away.
The government needs to address our concerns now, or deal with our united rage in years to come.
Rage!
Now, the bad news.
The Queensland election has brought little joy for racists patriots. Pauline Hanson failed in her sixth straight election. One Nation lost its last MP. The Australia First Party fielded two candidates: Peregrine John Beverley Jewell in Toowoomba North and Peter Schuback in Hervey Bay.
Neither were especially successful.
Ein volk…
Rosa Lee Long is an archaism: the last gasp of the One Nation Party. “I have no other duties other than giving Dalrymple the best representation possible” said Rosa, which if true suggests that she needs a new hobby. Still, with around 7,000 votes (1/3), Rosa will obviously have many supporters with suggestions.
In Condamine, Rod Watson thrashed the Independent Stephanie Bugg, 763 votes to 278, and proved to be only slightly less popular than The Greens.
…ein Reich…
Peregrine John Beverley Jewell failed to place his sweaty hands on the levers of Government power again in 2009. Peregrine tested his popularity at the polls in Toowoomba North and gained 490 votes (1.70%) for his trouble, 98.30% of the people apparently failing to realise the peril they are facing in the New World Order liberal-globalist-capitalist conspiracy.
In Hervey Bay, Peter Schuback proved once again that the road to Parliament is a long one for Independents, gaining 1,251 votes (4.85%), a slight drop in popularity since he last tilted at the political windmill.
As noted previously, this is not Peter’s first crack at a seat in Parliament. In 1998, Schuback got 1107 votes — outpolling the LaRouchite candidate (and thereby avoiding last place). In 2001, Peter put forward his platform in the Rockhampton electorate as a candidate for the short-lived City Country Alliance. In a three-horse race, Peter again came last, winning a respectable 2,056 votes (8.9%). (In the 2001 Federal election, Peter stood as an Independent in the seat of Capricornia. For his troubles, he received 512 votes, or 0.7%.) In 2006, again contesting Hervey Bay, he gained 1,607 votes (5.82%), coming last of five candidates.
Nein Führer?!?
Finally, The Wicked Witch from Ipswich may have blown her last chance at gaining a Government job.
Ms Hanson’s candidacy in Beaudesert, south of Brisbane, attracted national media attention but not enough voters. She secured 22 per cent of the vote to run third behind Labor and the Liberal National Party winner Aiden McLindon…
The One Nation founder blamed the media for her loss, referring to the publication of raunchy photographs of a young woman erroneously claimed to be her in the mid-1970s by News Limited Sunday newspapers.
Some of the contents of one of the two principal websites belonging to the international neo-Nazi network Blood & Honour (B&H) have been Wikileaked.
B&H is a proscribed organisation in Germany and Spain; the Australian franchise (in conjunction with another international neo-Nazi network of boneheads called the ‘Hammerskins’) is organising a gig in Perth on April 25 this year (ANZAC Day) to celebrate the deaths of Australian soldiers in WWII…
