Dear John
It has been an incredibly busy week as federal
parliament has wrapped up from a two week sitting block. Senators
Pauline Hanson and Malcom Roberts have been making many Senate
speeches and introduced important discrimination legislation, that was
rejected again.
Most importantly, Pauline Hanson’s call on
Australians to follow her example and turn their backs on welcome to
country ceremonies has made national headlines, and gained a lot of
popular support.
Australian footy fans were left
scratching their heads last weekend when one of the AFL’s
ubiquitous welcome to country ceremonies was turned into a
lecture.
They were told the ceremonies had been
performed for ‘250,000 years’ and were not something invented to cater
for white people. One Nation notes the earliest evidence of human
habitation of the Australian continent is, at an extreme stretch,
65,000 years old and it’s well understood ‘welcome to countries’ were
invented in the 1970s.
Just this afternoon on the publicly funded SBS,
the man at the center of this controversy, Brendan Kieran, declared
that he didn't regret 'one word' of his outrageous 'welcome' and that
if he had his time again he would have had even 'more' to add.
In fact, here at One Nation HQ, talk around the
water cooler is keenly anticipating exactly what bits Mr Kieran has
'left out'?
Mr Kieran declared he intentionally
sought to use divisive language and people who were 'upset' are
'stupid'. This SBS interview (link below) is the most
important advertisement yet for putting an end to these divisive
'250,000 year old' ceremonies.

This week has been so busy with some VERY
major announcements. Stay tunned with all the One Nation news in the

As Senator Hanson noted in the Senate this
week: if the ceremonies aren’t for white people, then why are white
people subjected to them?
The crowd were also told that prior to
‘colonisation’, people could get into a lot of trouble for being in
some place without a ceremonial welcome.
The implied threat highlights the ongoing
racial division that welcome to country ceremonies have come to
symbolise. Activists continue to deliberately ignore that 60% of
Australians rejected this racial division at last year’s referendum.
Let’s not forget the promise of Voice activist Marcia Langton who
claimed there would be an end to the ceremonies if the voice went
down.
Senator Hanson also noted that what makes an
Australian exceptional is not the fact they may be aboriginal, but the
fact they’re Australian – the identity we all share. Australia is the
home we all share; Australia belongs to all of us. All she asks is for
all Australians to stand up for their rights to be in their own home,
to not be welcomed to their own home by ceremonies which deny they’re
in their own home.
A good start would be to reject welcome to
country ceremonies by silently turning our backs on them.

We have a serious
free speech issue developing in Queensland, where Labor have teamed up
with the Greens to implement some of the harshest censorship laws in
the country. Listen as Sky News dissects Nick Muir's video, our One
Nation candidate for the Gold Coast based seat of Coomera.
Sky News exposes a controversial Queensland law that could jail
people for 'offending' others, particularly targeting those who read
from scripture. Nick Muir, One Nation’s candidate for Coomera, is
actively fighting to raise local awareness and challenge this threat
to free speech.
