IN A TIME OF UNIVERSAL DECEIT - TELLING THE TRUTH IS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT -
GEORGE ORWELL

SHAFTED

If the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, Stone and the Prime
Minister, the battlers friend, Johnny Howard, had their way the Northern
Territory will be a state on the hundredth anniversary of Federation on the
1st January 2001.  What a joke, at the very time we should be deconstructing
the state apparatus and replacing it with regional networks, these clowns
want us to rejoice because the Northern Territory may become a state.

No wonder Stone was grinning from ear to ear.  As far as he is concerned
this is the perfect opportunity to put those pesky blacks back in their
place.  Just imagine it, all the gains that were made when the Australian
people gave the Commonwealth power to pass legislation to assist indigenous
people in the 1967 referendum, are now up for grabs.

If the Northern Territory succeeds in its push to become a state, the big
losers will be the state's indigenous people.  Over twenty five percent of
the population will be disenfranchised if indigenous affairs are handed over
to the Northern Territory government.

Uluru and Kakadu's management will pass into the hands of the new state
government.  Leasehold land will become freehold land and most importantly
of all, those land rights victory's that have been won over the last thirty
years will be negated by the stroke of a pen.  Those people who participate
in the Northern Territory referendum and vote for statehood will be voting
to create an entity that will strip more and more rights from this country's
indigenous people.

Stone and his pathetic bunch of supporters are keen, very keen to place a
constitution before the Northern Territory people that will strip indigenous
and non-indigenous Australians of the few rights they now enjoy.  If you
decide to participate in the referendum, irrespective of whether you vote
Yes or No, make sure you vote No to Stone's pathetic attempts to draw up a
constitution for the proposed new state.

TEARS OF BLOOD!!

I feel for those poor fools who continue to sink in good money after bad
trying to make a killing from Crown Casino.  Just imagine the whole tragic
scene.  Just twelve months ago our intrepid investors were riding high,
Crown Casino shares were selling for $2.62, the 2.1 billion dollar
monstrosity down by the Yarra was pulling in the money and was able to
service the mother of all debts.

Just twelve months down the track, the dream has turned into a nightmare.
Crown Casino shares are now trading at 41 cents (that's right 41 cents) and
are still falling.  The cheap and shiny bodgie built monstrosity down by the
Yarra, the apple of Kennett's eye is now valued at a little over 400 million
dollars.  Tragically for our little mates, they still need to service their
2.1 billion dollar debt.

The goose that laid the golden egg is now dead, the golden egg like the rest
of Crown Casino is only coated with gold foil.  The punters aren't flocking
to the gaming tables, and Crown Casino is being forced to shed staff at the
same rate trees shed their leaves in autumn.  Kennett's and Ron Walker's
jewel has been found to be a dud.  The state governments tax take is
beginning to plunge as the gamblers desert the sinking ship.  Crown Casino
is for all intentional purposes dismembered, dead and buried.  It may
splutter on for a few more years, but ultimately this folly by the Yarra
will stand as a monument to the idiots who believed that the state could buy
its way out of debt by gambling.  Any gambler worth their salt knows that if
you want to make a buck gambling you never gamble with other people's money.

DECEPTION?

The South Australian government is trying very hard to privatise the
electricity generation and distribution network in South Australia.  After
faithfully promising (cross my heart I hope to die), the South Australian
electorate that they would not privatise the electricity network, they are
now trying to flog off the whole lot, lock, stock and barrel to the highest
(some say the lowest) bidder.  I assume that the Olsen Liberal government in
South Australia didn't bother to tell the South Australian electors a year
ago that their promise was ‡ la John Howard not a core promise.

Well the deception has taken a new turn in the past few days.  A Mr Nigel
Winton has been placing adds in Adelaide newspapers on behalf of disgruntled
South Australians imploring Mr Wran the Labor Opposition leader to change
his mind and support the privatisation of the electricity supply for the
good of the good South Australian burghers.  What our mate Nigel has
conveniently forgotten to tell South Australians is that he is standing as a
candidate for the presidency of the South Australian Liberal Party and that
the Adelaide law firm he is working for is advising the Olsen Liberal
government on the best way to privatise the states electricity supply.

No wonder the peoples' friend John Olsen, the man who almost lost the
non-loseable election has disclaimed all knowledge of Nigel's little scheme.
I wonder who bankrolled those full page advertisements in Adelaide's
newspapers.  Full page adds don't come cheap, did the Olsen Liberal
government earmark a few taxpayers dollars to pay for this so called
spontaneous expression of peoples' desire to sell the electricity supply to
the private sector.

If you believe that John Olsen and the South Australian Liberal Party had no
knowledge of Nigel's tawdry little scheme, it's possible you're the type of
person who believes that the earth is flat, that the second coming is around
the corner and that the One Notion Party is not a racist party.  Either way
it's blatantly obvious to anyone with a synapsing neurone that the Olsen
government's plans, reek of deception.

ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE

It's hard to believe that the Federal Coalition government is about to use
over fifty million dollars of taxpayers funds to sell their pre-electoral
message.  Johnny Howard and his crew of intellectually challenged mates
intends to use over fifty million dollars of taxpayers funds over the next
few months to sell their electoral message.  Anybody who believes that the
Federal Coalition's plans have nothing to do with the upcoming Federal
election is in urgent need of medications to treat their visual and auditory
hallucinations.

They must either be very desperate, or believe that the electorate is very
stupid if they believe that anybody believes their mantra, that their
campaigns are education campaigns, not electoral campaigns.  When you think
about the matter, it's obvious to one and all that the government's tax plan
(their phrase, not my phrase), is the central plank of their election
strategy.  Why should you and I be expected to bankroll their election
campaign?  We're not talking about an advertising campaign to acquaint
people with changes in legislation or general education programs about
pressing community health problems.  We're talking about the Coalition using
taxpayers funds to fund their cynical re-election campaign, nothing more,
nothing less.

Keating's and Hawke's use of taxpayers funds to pay for Labor Party
re-election campaigns pales into insignificance with the Liberal/National
Parties attempts to get the taxpayer to bankroll their tax re-election
campaign.  Johnny Howard's attempts to shake down the Australian taxpayer
for the money to pay for his re-election campaign, is a prime example of the
cynical opportunism that is such a prominent feature of the current
Liberal/National Party Federal government.  Howard's current efforts are on
a par with the notorious statement he made after his election victory in
1996 that he was only going to keep "core" promises.  What he and his
cronies forgot to tell the Australian people during the Federal election
campaign in 1996 was that they had embarked on the cynical exercise of
dividing promises into "core" and "non-core" promises.  Anybody who is
willing to use such tactics obviously has a serious question mark hanging
over their credibility.

HI HO HI HO OFF TO WRACK AND RUIN WE GO!!

I don't want to be compared to chicken little but I've got to agree with
chicken little - the sky is falling down.  Everywhere you turn the
indications are that we are in for some torrid, very torrid times.  The last
pin, the Japanese economy is about to turn over and die.  It now looks like
the Japanese stock market is going to go down the gurgler.  When the
Japanese stock market collapses, it's highly likely that the unparalleled
bull run on the New York Exchange will grind to a halt.

As the Yen struggles to keep up with the fortunes of the United States
dollar, more and more companies face bankruptcy and more and more workers
will loose their jobs.  As the Japanese Yen enters potential free fall
territory, the Australian dollar is once again below the 60 cent mark.  As
the hedging funds target the Japanese economy, the chances are the Australia
economy will be subjected to sustained attacks by all and sundry.

The situation is desperate, much more desperate than most people are willing
to admit.  Global capitals bull run is about to come to an end.  When the
Japanese economy collapses and collapse it will, the resultant after shocks
will damage economies across the globe.  We are standing on the cusp of one
of the most devastating economic collapses of the last 100 years.  The
globalisation and privatisation agenda has been tried and found to be
wanting.  The resultant economic dislocation provides the perfect background
for egalitarian social change.  Whether this occurs or not will ultimately
depend on whether we are able to seize this moment by presenting viable and
logical alternatives to the mess the world and Australia find itself in, in
the next twelve months.

ANARCHIST QUESTION AND ANSWER

Q Why do anarchists abhor religious fundamentalists?

A.  If there is one thing anarchists detest, it's religious fundamentalists.
Anarchists hold all religious fundamentalists with the same contempt and
loathing.  Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and any other
variety of fundamentalism is viewed with horror by anarchists.  Anarchism is
essentially a pluralistic ideology.  Live and let live is the motto that
anarchists follow.

Fundamentalist thought is the very anthesis of anarchist thought.
Fundamentalists will use every means at their disposal to improve their view
of the world on other people.  In their eyes there is only one way of doing
things - their way.  If you disagree and want to live your own life in your
own way, they will neutralise you.  As far as they are concerned life is
very simple, deadly simple, they are right everybody else is wrong.  As God
is on their side they can justify any act or actions.   They are keen to
capture the state apparatus so they can impose their will on everybody who
doesn't agree with their world view.  Those who oppose them are forced into
exile, imprisoned or executed.  How can they possibly be wrong, God is on
their side.
In the name of their God they will commit any atrocity to impose their will
on disbelievers.  None of this voluntary bullshit for them.  They have the
answers, they have a particular lifestyle, you join them or you're
persecuted.  This history of religious fundamentalism is a history of
intolerance, bigotry, cruelty and violence.  As far as anarchists are
concerned religious fundamentalists deserve each other.  Religious
fundamentalists are dangerous and need to be confronted at every
opportunity.  They deny people choice, remove free will and will use any and
every means at their disposal to impose their diseased ideas on an unwilling
community.  Anarchists and religious fundamentalists stand at opposite
ideological poles.  They have little if anything in common and will continue
to do battle until one or other ideology is tipped into the dustbin of
history.

ACTION BOX -

SO YOU WANT TO BE A SHOCK JOCK!!

Community and mainstream radio is being used by more and more anarchists to
put forward their ideas.  In a few countries Anarchists run 24 hour, 7 day a
week radio stations.  In most situations especially in Australia, Anarchists
are involved with community radio stations.  Some are involved in general
programs, a few have specific Anarchists programs.  The comments in this
article are specifically directed at Anarchist broadcasters who have their
own programs on community radio.

Radio is an immediate medium, it's a very powerful medium.  It's possible
over time to build up a regular listener base.  The Anarchist Media
Institute/Libertarian Workers for a Self-Managed Society have been involved
with community radio in Melbourne for over twenty years.  A few important
points we've learnt over the years (sometimes very painfully and slowly).

1) Never (or nearly never) read material on radio.  Radio is a natural
medium, people turn off very quickly if you read material.
2) If you have an Anarchist program, keep it Anarchist.  Many voices are
heard on community radio, people listen to your program for the ideas not
the gimmicks or music.
3) When you talk, look at the microphone, don't keep turning your head to
look at who you are speaking to.
4) Silence is deadly on radio, learn to think on your feet.  If the worst
comes to the worst have a cart ready to fill any dead space.
5) Don't be frightened of making technical mistakes on air, they happen,
you'll get better with time.
6) Tape your program, for legal reasons and for teaching purposes, listen to
yourself speak.  With time you'll be able to remove those annoying fumbles
we're all prone to.
7) PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE - It doesn't matter how smart you are (or you
think you are), if you don't prepare, you not only let yourself down but you
let your listeners down.
8) When you talk on the microphone, talk as if you're in your own lounge
room, the more relaxed you are the easier it is to listen to you.
9) Try to break down complex ideas into simpler ideas, don't be frightened
to put forward specific anarchist viewpoints.  If you don't, nobody else
will.
10) Remember it doesn't matter how humorous or smart you are, the main
purpose of the show is present ideas not create stars.
11) Try to have guests on.  If you have a guest on, negotiate how many
minutes the interview will last, try to stick to it.  If you don't, the rest
of the program will suffer.
12) Make sure you can give out a contact telephone number, email or postal
address so that people who are interested in what you have to say can easily
contact you.
Radio broadcasting can be a great deal of personal fun, it is an exciting
medium to master and if you stick with it you can make a valuable
contribution to the anarchist movement and raise your own self esteem.

AUSTRALIAN ANARCHIST HISTORY - I.W.W. TWELVE CHARGED WITH TREASON -FELONY

When the I.W.W. twelve were originally arrested in Sydney on the eve of the
first conscription referendum in 1916 they were charged with the crime
treason-felony.  A crime which carried the death sentence.  Fritz Georgie an
escaped German internee, revolutionary and an associate of the Sydney branch
of the I.W.W. loomed large in their plans to charge the twelve with the
treason-felony charges.

Fritz Georgie had been rounded up as part of the governments attempts to
intern Germans during the war.  He was held in Sing Sing the maximum
security section of the Holdsworthy internment camp.  On the night of
Thursday the 20th of July he and six other internees tunnelled forty feet
and made their way out of the maximum security section.  Six of the
internees were captured the next day, Fritz Georgie re-established his
contacts with the Sydney I.W.W.  They provided him with hiding places and
arranged for the distinctive tattoos on his forearms to be burnt with silver
nitrate (a very, very painful procedure).  He was then taken to Broken Hill
by the I.W.W. and worked in the mines under an assumed name.  He was
arrested on the 23rd of October 1916 and charged with escaping from
Holdsworthy just five days before the conscription referendum.

In an attempt to build up their treason-felony case against the I.W.W.
twelve, the government offered Fritz Georgie a pardon if he co-operated with
them and gave them information which linked the I.W.W. with the German
government.  Although Fritz was physically intimidated and although he faced
a long jail sentence for escaping from the Holdsworthy internment camp, he
refused to co-operate with the Crown.  As a consequence of his principled
and brave stand the government had no option but to amend the treason-felony
charges against the I.W.W. twelve to the lesser charges, "conspiracy to
defeat the ends of justice and to commit arson and seditious conspiracy".
Fritz Georgie was found guilty of breaking out of Holdsworthy internment
camp and was sent to Goldburn jail, for refusing to co-operate in the
Governments case against the I.W.W. twelve.

BOOK REVIEW - DESIGNS FOR ANARCHIST POSTAGE STAMPS WITH SIXTEEN PORTRAITS BY
CLIFFORD HARPER

Foreword by Colin Word, Rebel Press London 1997, ISBN 0946061149

I'm sure, more than sure, that Clifford Harper's and Colin Word's heart were
in the right place when they collaborated to produce Designs for Anarchist
Postage Stamps, but I really can't take to this book.  Maybe I've been
spoilt by the plethora of brightly coloured stamps that I collected as a
child, but I just can't get into Designs for Anarchist Postage Stamps.
Possibly the drab olive green cover put me off this little book, possibly
the all too predictable portraits of 16 anarchist identities has soured my
opinion.  All in all I find this book drab and predictable.

I enjoyed reading Clifford Harpers Afterward about the important role the
Post Office played in his families and his life.  I gleaned a few
interesting bits of information from Colin Words foreword, but the stamps
left me cold, very cold.  The designs were predictable, the subject matter
repetitive.  Clifford Harpers line drawings were up to his usual excellent
standard, but the way they are presented as stamps is very, very
disappointing.

Looking at the stamp sheets I'm reminded of the boring predictable Her Royal
Highness stamps that were all the rage in Britain and the Colonies in the
1950's and 1960's.  Unfortunately Clifford Harpers fine detail is lost in
the drab olive green presentation.  All in all this book is a wonderful idea
that has been castrated through poor design and presentation.

BOOK REVIEW - CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD - AN UNCOMMON DIALOGUE

Don't get me wrong, please don't let the title of the book mislead you, but
this particular book which a friend lent me to look at is definitely not
about religion (well not in the mainstream orthodox sense).  Many anarchists
tend to be freethinkers "Neither God nor Master", was the traditional
anarchist slogan and reading through this particular book there are many
issues and themes both from personal and worldwide perspectives that perhaps
many anarchists and freethinkers could agree on.  The writer speaks about
the phenomenon of "God" not from the traditional Judeo/Christian/Islamic
sense as some angry, vindictive, authoritarian figure.  Rather he touches on
a more universal mystical theme that of a "Cosmic Consciousness" or "Great
All"  sense and about the relative nature of what most people defines as
"Good vs Evil".  Other aspects such as the industrial-military complex (it's
interest in maintaining the status quo), traditional religions and religious
fundamentalism (what they tell you), violence (can there ever be a
justifiable reason for killing anything?), and nation states (how the state
would have you believe that killing to complete a purely political agenda is
perfectly defensible and in fact how it needs the individual to take its
word on this in order to exist as an entity of power).  The author very
cleverly interweaves these issues and themes in this "dialogue" which I'm
sure many open-minded and inquisitive individuals would find challenging and
stimulating.  The authors name is Neale Donald Walsch, and the publishers
are Hodder & Stoughton.  It is a fairly recent book and available at most
book stores in town, such as Readings, McGills and Dymocks.

PERSONAL OBSERVATION

Just my luck, here I was sitting in a restaurant, first time in weeks,
waiting to tuck into my miso soup, tempura, sushi and sashimi when a
bombastic, boring, Bavarian buffoon wearing long leather pants sits down
with his Yobbo Aussie business partner and their silent appendages at the
table next to mine.  Pursuing our live and let live philosophy, my partner
and I silently suffer the verbal outpourings encapsulated in their atrophic
frontal lobes for the next two hours.

Their foghorn voices, battled with each other in an effort to join two words
together in a logical sequence.  We heard every trying pedestrian aspect of
the Aussie Yobbos once in a life time European trip.  We were subjected to
the dreary details about how he and his partner, lived it up in Venice and
you guessed it, how they lived on bread rolls in Budapest.  His pathetic
tale was the type of tale that makes you wonder why people bother to travel.
His sexual appendage watched in admiration as he catalogues their list of
monotonous exploits.

His bombastic Bavarian friend, not to be outdone waxed lyrical about his
trip to Hitler's birthplace in Austria.  Finally their order arrived, peace
at last I thought to myself, let's hope these two boring souls don't talk
with their mouths full.  I should have know better, as soon as their food
arrived they started talk business.  I assumed the interval between their
order being taken and the arrival of their food was, in their eyes the time
for mandatory business foreplay.  The Aussie Yobbo started to wax lyrical
about how there was money to be made from the privatisation of the Victorian
water supply.  Our Bavarian friend was interested in investing money in the
project.  As far as they were both concerned the privatisation of Victoria's
water supply would help them fill up their personal coffers at the expense
of the community.  They gushed on and on about flow rates, catchment areas,
pipe diameters and a thousand and one technical details about their grand
plans.  Their sexual appendages sat there smiling at each other, lost in
their own thoughts.

We ate our meal, paid our bill and began to wander off into the night.  As
we were stepping outside I noticed our Bavarian friend was trying to scratch
his balls.  That's when I realise there is some justice in this world, have
you every tried to scratch your balls while wearing leather pants - a pretty
hard thing to do at the best of times.

STOP PRESS - NO TAX PACK!!

There will be no analysis of John Howard's "winners package" in this issue
of the Anarchist Age Weekly Review.  You see, although you receive the
weekly on Friday and the tax package will be released on Thursday, the
Anarchist Age Weekly Review is typed and printed on Wednesday, hence no
analysis.  Many of you may say why bother waiting till the tax package is
released?  So much has been released, there will be nothing left to analyse
on Thursday.

What I've seen so far, doesn't make me think we're all going to be winners.
Yes there will be changes, but these changes don't necessarily produce
winners.  As you know the devils in the detail, hence my reluctance to mouth
off about the content of the package.  I don't believe that John Howard and
his merry band of virtual thieves really has any answers.  Sure they have a
plan, sure they are willing to implement that plan, but is that plan the
plan that Australians need to resolve bracket creep and the grossly unfair
nature of the taxation system.

Either way don't expect any miracles, let alone a worthwhile equitable
taxation system.  John Howard's tax package is an illusion, it's the
pinnacle of a parliamentary career that hasn't been blessed with innovative
solutions now or in the past.  To somehow believe that the leopard has
changed its spots is something that is hard to imagine.  About the only
thing we can do is wait till Thursday and watch Johnny Howard deliver.  A
package, his pedestrian vision that has been designed to try to restore the
electoral hopes of the Coalition government, not tackle problems that blight
the lives of millions of Australians.
