Thoughts For The Week By Ron Owen.
Ironically, the Australia media are screaming for human rights, they want the Right to Free Speech, not for everyone of course just protection for journalists. They want exemptions to laws that keep government secrets, they want protection from the laws of defamation and discrimination. When myself and many others have been prosecuted and persecuted for speaking out about the laws of discrimination, (suffered an 8 year court case) and I suffered a 4 year case for having in my possession the recipe for manufacturing Black Powder (which is in every good encyclopaedia it has been available for 700 years) the media never came once to our defence. They manufactured stories that made me and others comparable with serial killers.

I'm not saying that they are wrong in demanding the Freedom of Speech, it is a Right of Free people.Even the High Court Australian ‘Capital Television Pty Ltd v Commonwealth”case found that the “Political Broadcasts and Political Disclosures Act 1991,[2]” which regulated political advertising during election campaigns, invalid. The High Court found the laws to be invalid, since they contravened an implied freedom of political communication in the Australian Constitution. Chief Justice Mason expressed the view that the Australian Constitution originally drew its authority from the British Imperial Parliament and although it was not mentioned in the Courts final decision the Bill of Rights of 1689 which is one of the documents that establishes the Rights of the people and the Rights of the British Imperial Parliament was referred to and discussed in the full transcript. Ironical, that the same Bill of Rights that give the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom to Petition the Freedom of Parliamenty Representation that won the case for the Australian media in the Capital Television case is the same Bill of Rights of 1689 that give us all the Right to have ‘Arms suitable for our defence’. (Protestants and Catholics) The Australian Politicians will fly immediately to the Bill of Rights to defend the Rights of Free Speech in Parliament, the Journalists will fly to the section on the Right to Petition, (as without the Right to report its impossible for the public to know a Petition is required, or what it is about, but when law abiding Firearm Owners claim the Right to have ‘Arms suitable for our Defence’, well both Politicians and Media laugh at us and state that the Bill of Rights has no meaning in Australia or anywhere else. Law Abiding Firearm Owners have been swung on the gibbet, hung, drawn, and quartered by the media zombies. Now is the time that the should all be reminded of their hypocrisy.

“Treason doth never prosper, what’s the reason?For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.”

Sir John Harington (1560–1612)

What does it mean, When we have a society that betrays its country so prosperously, so epidemically that our Chinese funded politicians can not be criticised by our Chinese funded universities nor will the finger be pointed at the Chinese funded media.. They have all been bought and paid for all are ‘Traitors’.

The New Chinese Empire Why would Julia Bishop contribute.

Why would Julie Bishop’s when Minister for Foreign Affairs DFAT (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) donated taxpayer funds to support China’s Belt and Road initiative.

If she is not being paid by them, is she a secret communist?

We can see why Communists would seek to infiltrate our University’s. Their god like Messiah Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, otherwise known as ‘Lenin’ said,

“Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.” Taking the minds of the next generation of teachers, politicians and journalist takes every country into his Communist International, but we do not have a paradise to look forward to.

Lenin’s further quotes explain the forward planning.

“We must be ready to employ trickery, deceit, law-breaking, withholding and concealing truth…”

“We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.”

(Just see the re-action of hate when we expose the “Climate Change” fraud.)

“The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.”

“The best revolutionary is youth devoid of morals.””A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”

“There are no morals in politics there is only expedience.” “A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.” “Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.”

“It matters not if 90% of the Russian people perish so long as 10% bring about a world revolution.”

Like Lenin, Stalin and Mao, and despite his more positive reputation among Leftists, Lenin also wished to exterminate the peasant class, even orchestrating famines to do so, in order to force his will on pure Communism. This also proves that Communism, despite the PR, never cared at all for the poor people.

In November 1917, at a meeting of delegates of the committees of poor peasants, Lenin announced a new policy to eliminate Soviet peasants, known as “kulaks”land owning peasants: “If the kulaks remain untouched, if we don’t defeat the freeloaders, the czar and the capitalist will inevitably return.” In July 1918, “Committees of the Poor” were created to represent poor peasants, which played an important role in the struggle against the kulaks, and led the process of redistribution of confiscated lands and inventory, food surpluses from the kulaks.

All kulaks were assigned to one of three categories:

1.Those to be shot or imprisoned as decided by the local secret political police

2.Those to be sent to Siberia, the North, the Urals or Kazakhstan, after confiscation of their property

3.Those to be evicted from their houses and used in labour colonies within their own districts

An OGPU secret-police functionary, Yefim Yevdokimov (1891–1939), played a major role in organizing and supervising the round-up of peasants and the mass executions.

This was so successful for them that they expanded the goal posts and eliminated any area of society that they felt were against the Communist ideals, Clergy, Cossacks, Intellectuals and professionals, Jews, Business people, including doctors and engineers.

There were numerous reports that Cheka interrogators used torture. At Odessa the Cheka tied White officers to planks and slowly fed them into furnaces or tanks of boiling water; in Kharkiv, scalpings and hand-flayings were commonplace: the skin was peeled off victims’ hands to produce “gloves”; the Voronezh Cheka rolled naked people around in barrels studded internally with nails; victims were crucified or stoned to death at Dnipropetrovsk; the Cheka at Kremenchuk impaled members of the clergy and buried alive rebelling peasants; in Oryol, water was poured on naked prisoners bound in the winter streets until they became living ice statues; in Kiev, Chinese Cheka detachments placed rats in iron tubes sealed at one end with wire netting and the other placed against the body of a prisoner, with the tubes being heated until the rats gnawed through the victim’s body in an effort to escape.

Executions took place in prison cellars or courtyards, or occasionally on the outskirts of town, during the Red Terror and Russian Civil War. After the condemned were stripped of their clothing and other belongings, which were shared among the Cheka executioners, they were either machine-gunned in batches or dispatched individually with a revolver. Those killed in prison were usually shot in the back of the neck as they entered the execution cellar, which became littered with corpses and soaked with blood. Victims killed outside the town were moved by truck, bound and gagged, to their place of execution, where they sometimes were made to dig their own graves.

According to Edvard Radzinsky, “it became a common practice to take a husband hostage and wait for his wife to come and purchase his life with her body”. During de-Cossackization, there were massacres, according to historian Robert Gellately, “on an unheard of scale”. The Pyatigorsk Cheka organized a “day of Red Terror” to execute 300 people in one day, and took quotas from each part of town. According to the Chekist Karl Lander [ru], the Cheka in Kislovodsk, “for lack of a better idea”, killed all the patients in the hospital. In October 1920 alone more than 6,000 people were executed. Gellately adds that Communist leaders “sought to justify their ethnic-based massacres by incorporating them into the rubric of the ‘class struggle'”.

“For every idealistic ‘peace-maker,’ willing to renounce his right of self-defense in order to bring-about a ‘weapons-free world,’ there is at least one malignant war-maker, more than anxious to exploit his naivety” Margaret Thatcher

Members of the clergy were subjected to particularly brutal abuse. According to documents cited by the late Alexander Yakovlev, then head of the Presidential Committee for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Political Repression, priests, monks and nuns were crucified, thrown into cauldrons of boiling tar, scalped, strangled, given Communion with melted lead and drowned in holes in the ice. Many scholars have estimated these civilian deaths at 20 million conservatively and approaching 100 million. In his foreword to the book, Martin Malia noted “a grand total of victims variously estimated by contributors to the volume at between 85 million and 100 million dead people.

So why would Australian Universities corporate with Communist China.

UNSW Professor of Artificial Intelligence Toby Walsh said Australian universities were walking down a dangerous road and should consider carefully who they collaborate with.

“We’ve seen such rapid advances in the last few years, that we do now have to wake up and consider seriously the implications and how the technology that we work on can be misused,” he said. Australian universities have also collaborated with Chinese defence universities.

Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) have worked on dozens of such studies, including a 2019 study on covert communications with the China’s National University of Defense Technology, which was blacklisted by the US four years ago. The study authors said it could have military applications, including “for a stealth fighter … to be able to hide itself from enemies while communicating with its military bases.”

Is it because Chinese students seem to account for more than 50% of all international students? In 2017, they relied on Chinese student course fees for anywhere from 13% (Adelaide and ANU) to 22-23% (UNSW and Sydney) of their total revenues. Even these figures likely understate their true China exposure, since they generate substantial non-course revenue from Chinese students as well.

Senior Australian security officials have reported that the joint activities between UNSW and Chinese Defence companies are evidence that Beijing is running a global espionage operation through technology companies.Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) analyst Dr Samantha Hoffman has spent months uncovering GTCOM’s global and Australian connections. She said the company’s intent was to support the Chinese Communist Party’s security interests.“Whether it contributes to a state security product or propaganda or military intelligence, all of the data they’re collecting can then be turned into information that supports those objectives,” said Dr Hoffman. “So immediately that raises red flags.”
Professor John Fitzgerald, who served as a chair on DFAT’s (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) Australia-China Council, said Chinese companies were capitalising on Australia’s science and technology expertise.
“Australia’s science and technology priorities are being set by the Chinese Government because we enter into collaborations that have really been designed to support China’s goals, not ours,” he said.“Many universities are very happy to proceed with whatever it is … because of the money and prestige involved.” “There’s a possibility that some of this research will go towards uses which could place Australia at risk.”
IT MUST BE THE MONEY as We Pay Them To BETRAY Us.
In January, Chinese media reported on Haiyun Data’s announcement of a new joint artificial intelligence laboratory with the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS).
UTS associate dean and director of its Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Professor Jie Lu, was pictured holding a signed agreement with Haiyun.
Professor Lu was last month awarded a $3.2 million fellowship from the Australian Research Council for a project to enable artificial intelligence to learn autonomously from data.
The university has confirmed it has a research project with Haiyun Data to develop technology for handwriting recognition.
Former head of the Australian Cyber Security Centre at the Australian Signals Directorate Alastair MacGibbon said universities needed to understand the implications of their international research deals.

Mao Zedong Competed with Stalin For the World Biggest Killer.

Who was the individual in charge of the largest mass murderer in the history of the world? Most people probably assume that the answer is Adolf Hitler, architect of the Holocaust. But more than likely Hitler, Lenin and Stalin were outdone by Mao Zedong as one would have to split up the USSR mass murder between Lenin and Stalin. From 1958 to 1962, his Great Leap Forward policy led to the deaths of up to 45 million people, just within four years. Easily making it the biggest one off episode of mass murder ever recorded.

Historian Frank Dikötter, author of the important book “Mao’s Great Famine” stated,

“Mao thought that he could catapult his country past its competitors by herding villagers across the country into giant people’s communes. In pursuit of a utopian paradise, everything was collectivised. People had their work, homes, land, belongings and livelihoods taken from them. In collective canteens, food, distributed by the spoonful according to merit, became a weapon used to force people to follow the party’s every dictate. As incentives to work were removed, coercion and violence were used instead to compel famished farmers to perform labour on poorly planned irrigation projects while fields were neglected.”

It is not merely the extent of the catastrophe that dwarfs earlier estimates, but these record the manner in which many people died: between two and three million victims were tortured to death or summarily killed, often for the slightest infraction. “When a boy stole a handful of grain in a Hunan village, local boss Xiong Dechang forced his father to bury him alive. The father died of grief a few days later. The case of Wang Ziyou was reported to the central leadership: one of his ears was chopped off, his legs were tied with iron wire, a ten kilogram stone was dropped on his back and then he was branded with a sizzling tool – punishment for digging up a potato.”

Elderly villagers in one region of a quarter of a million Chinese were banned from the official canteen because they were too old or ill to be effective workers, so were deliberately starved to death.

Followed by Millions of Deaths in the Cultural Revolution.
The basic facts of the Great Leap Forward have long been known to scholars. Dikötter’s work is noteworthy for demonstrating that the number of victims may have been even greater than previously thought, and that the mass murder was more clearly intentional on Mao’s part, and included large numbers of victims who were executed or tortured, as opposed to “merely” starved to death. The Great Leap Forward was followed by the Cultural Revolution which was also organised by Chairman Mao again millions died

While the horrors of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution are well known to experts on communism and Chinese history, they are rarely remembered by ordinary people even within China. When Westerners think of the great evils of world history, they rarely think of this one. An even bigger factor in our relative neglect of the Great Leap Forward is that it is part of the general tendency to downplay crimes committed by communist regimes, as opposed to right-wing authoritarians. Our bought and paid for mainstream media are very reluctant to fully accept that a great evil is within Communist/Socialist movement. The horrendous history of China, the USSR, and their imitators, should have permanently discredited Communist socialism as completely as Fascism socialism as both were socialism all have the same disregard for human life and freedom.

But it has not.

In contrast to the numerous books, movies, museums, and remembrance days dedicated to the Holocaust, we make little effort to recall the Great Leap Forward, or the Cultural Revolution, or Lenin’ and Stalin purges. When we vow “never again,” we don’t often recall that it should apply to this type of political atrocity, as well as those motivated by anti-Semitism.

I have no wish to diminish the significance of anyone’s loss due to Hitler the impact is on the individual and their families, if these dictators kill more or less millions that the others is not the point of this information, this is to remind us all of what Chinese Communist atrocities are capable of and we have to consider that if they will do this to their own people how generous, or compassionate would they be when Australians are at their disposal?

War not just likely but inevitable.

In 12 of 16 past instances in history in which a rising power has confronted a ruling power, the result has been War and bloodshed. Yet 100 years after World War I we hear it said that “War is inconceivable”, this again offers a sobering reminder of man’s capacity for folly.

In 1914, few could imagine slaughter on a scale that demanded a new category: world war. When war ended four years later, Europe lay in ruins: the Kaiser gone, the Austro-Hungarian Empire dissolved, the Russian Tsar overthrown by the Bolsheviks, France bled for a generation, and England shorn of its youth and treasure. A millennium in which Europe had been the political centre of the world had come to a crashing halt.

Thucydides’s Trap

In the ancient text “History of the Peloponnesian War”, Thucydides wrote, “What made war inevitable was the growth of Athenian power and the fear which this caused in Sparta.”

The defining question about global order for this generation is whether China and the United States can escape Thucydides’s Trap.”when one great power threatens to displace another, war is almost always the result”. The Greek historian’s metaphor reminds us of the attendant dangers when a rising power rivals a ruling power, as Athens challenged Sparta in ancient Greece, or as Germany did Britain a 100 years ago. Most such contests have ended badly, often for both nations.

When King Edward VII died in 1910 Attendees at his funeral included two “chief mourners”, Edward’s successor, George V, and his cousin Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm, along with Theodore Roosevelt representing the United States. At one point, Roosevelt (an avid student of naval power and leading champion of the buildup of the U.S. Navy) asked Wilhelm whether he would consider a moratorium in the German-British naval arms race. The Kaiser replied that Germany was unalterably committed to having a powerful navy. But as he went on to explain, war between Germany and Britain was “simply unthinkable, because “I was brought up in England, very largely; I feel myself partly an Englishman. Next to Germany I care more for England than for any other country.” And then with emphasis: “I ADORE ENGLAND!”

The World has Woken Up to A New Balance.
However unimaginable conflict seems, however catastrophic the potential consequences for all actors, however deep the cultural empathy among leaders, even blood relatives, and however economically interdependent states may be, none of those factors is sufficient to prevent war, in 1914 or today in 2020.

The preeminent geo-strategic challenge of this era is not violent Islamic extremists or a resurgent Russia. It is the impact that China’s ascendance will have on the U.S.A. led international order, which has provided unprecedented great-power peace and prosperity for the past 70 years. As Singapore’s late leader, Lee Kuan Yew, observed, “the size of China’s displacement of the world balance is such that the world must find a new balance. It is not possible to pretend that this is just another big player. This is the biggest player in the history of the world.” Everyone knows about the rise of China. Few of us realize its magnitude. Never before in history has a nation risen so far, so fast, on so many dimensions of power. To paraphrase former Czech President Vaclav Havel, “all this has happened so rapidly that we have not yet had time to be astonished.”

DF 41 Dong Feng  East Wind would blow no one any good .

We have seen the USA pull out of Syria and leaving its Allies the Kurds at the mercy of the Turkish Army. The Kurds have lost 10,000 soldiers fighting IS (supported by Turkey) and the USA have not taken that into account. We saw the US government pull out of South Vietnam which allowd the North to take the South and settle the scores with 3 million South Vietnam ese. How can Australia expect the USA to place its mainland cities in jeopardy to protect Australia.

Useful Fools.
Idiots in the Peace and Green movement funded by George Soros and the Chinese government have this notion, that if we do not have a Nuclear deterrent, Nuclear missiles, Nuclear Bombs, Nuclear Submarines, Aircraft that can deliver Nuclear warheads, Artillery that can deliver Nuclear warheads, that no other Nuclear endowed government would ever attack us with Nuclear weapons. Worse than that, even more “head in the sand”, most of the brain dead zombies that parade about with flowers in their dirty ‘Dreadlocks’ believe that if we have no Anti Missile Defence, no missiles to stop Nuclear armed Missiles attacking Australia then that’s another reason why an enemy like North Korea or China or any of the other Nuclear armed governments would not attack Australia. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, otherwise known as ‘Lenin’, called the British Peace Movement, “Useful Fools” well ours are well paid fools and are useful to the enemies of our Country. The largest majority do not even know or think that Australia will ever be attacked by anyone. Where else in history has this innocence been rewarded.

No Force Can Stop Us.
On the first of October 2019 in Beijing where Chang’an Avenue, meets Tiananmen Square

Chinese President Xi Jinping looked on as roughly 15,000 troops, 160 aircraft, and 580 pieces of military equipment were paraded for the 70th anniversary of the country’s founding

Mr Xi, who wore the distinctive “Mao suit”, delivered a speech invoking the “Chinese dream” of national rejuvenation, his grand vision of restoring the country to his perceived past glory.

“No force can stop the Chinese people and the Chinese nation forging ahead.”

“There is no force that can shake the foundation of this great nation,” Xi said

“Unity is iron and steel; unity is a source of strength,” Xi said, according to an English-language transcript from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The military parade showcased what’s claimed to be the world’s longest range intercontinental ballistic missile, the DF-41 DF stands for Dongfeng which means in English ‘East Wind’ which should be significant to the United States as that the direction that they would come from. The missile has a reputed range of up to 15,000 kilometres putting both Australia and the United States within striking distance. Analysts say it each missile will be able to carry as many as 10 warheads capable of hitting separate targets. So one missile to Australia and ten major cities get a nuclear warhead worth a few kiloton of devastation.

The DF-26 ballistic missile which are fired from land bases, is made to have the accuracy to strike at the key element of US power projection, the US Navy’s aircraft carriers in the Pacific.

HSU-001 underwater drones were on show for the first time the HSU-001 appears to be similar in size to Boeing’s Echo Seeker design and could be equipped with explosive deapth charges.

The vehicle-mounted DF-17 (Dongfeng) missile was displayed and will be capable of delivering both nuclear and conventional payloads,”the DF-17 missile successfully completed its ballistic flights and reentered the Earth’s atmosphere, using the hypersonic glide vehicle system. It leaves the earths atmosphere strapped to a DF-16 ballistic missile and then breaks away and glides down to its target at 5 times the speed of sound. Currently there is no defence for this missile. China’s military showed off these new hypersonic ballistic nuclear missile believed capable of breaching all existing anti-missile shields deployed by the US and its allies. These longer-range aircraft and missiles seem designed with the U.S. military in mind, analysts say

The parade also included two new supersonic drone, suspected to be the DR-8, which military commentators say could fly at maximum speeds of around 4,100 kilometres per hour. The

DR-8 unmanned aerial vehicle and the Sharp Sword stealth attack drone which can reach as far into the western Pacific as the American territory of Guam. More concerning for the USA is the Sharp Sword, is an attack drone that is not just a UAV but a UCAV: an unmanned combat air vehicle. The aircraft can carry missiles or laser-guided bombs. It is expected to enter service before the end of the year.

The PLA Rocket Force has placed particular emphasis on developing dangerous long-range anti-ship missiles that can keep the U.S. Navy at a safe distance,” the Defence Talk industry publication reported, “so the Sharp Sword’s ability to further extend that range only places enemy ships in all the more peril.”

Pairs or small numbers of J-20s have appeared in previous parades, but the fact the Air Force is ready to fly seven of them is significant and suggests they are ready for combat, according to analysts”A considerable number of units are probably ready to fly the J-20,” Wang Ya’nan, chief editor of Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told the Global Times.

“If seven J-20s are sent simultaneously into battle, they would have a significant striking capability with their air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons,” Wang told the paper. They would be able to strike enemy targets deep in hostile territory, he said. Designed for enhanced stealth and manoeuverability, the J-20 has the potential to provide China with a variety of previously unavailable air combat options and enhance its capability to project China’s air power.

The H-6N, a new version of China’s long-range strategic bomber, also appeared during parade rehearsals.Other observers noted the bomber had an aerial refueling receptacle. That will enable the aircraft, which was modeled on the Soviet Tu-16 jet bomber, to carry out in-flight refueling.

China’s 70th anniversary parade interestingly included 12 JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) carried on trucks. Though these have reportedly been in active service on board the People’s Liberation Army, Navy’s nuclear-powered Type 094 Jin class ballistic missile submarines, the Chinese government had not displayed any examples publicly before.

The parade featured China’s new lightweight Type 15 tanks with the fully stabilized 105mm rifled gun and an effective firing range of two miles. The tank weighs between 33 and 36 tons, making it more mobile than a standard battle tank, which usually weight about 50 tons.

What is already clear is that China’s military modernization is continuing at a brisk pace and the country is pushing ahead more and more toward closing capability gaps with its largest competitors, namely the United States and in some areas have more firepower.

It certainly appears that unless America has a technological break through its military dominance in the world is on the back foot.

Apathy, on the Greatest Scale Imaginable.

The Ten Year Rule was a British government guideline, first adopted in August 1919, that limited its armed forces to draft their estimates “on the assumption that the British Empire would not be engaged in any great war during the next ten years”.(sometimes called the Pernicious Law.) It was a secret rule introduced into Parliament that stated Britain could count on ten years notice for any major conflict. Accordingly, she need not spend significant funds in the near term on her military. The rule was renewed each year until it found itself in such a weakened state in the mid 1930s against Germany’s re armament. Australia must be running on a Thirty year rule and not expecting to need a defence until at lease 2050 when its 12 useless French submarines will finally be ready. The Chinese parade has shown us the way, we need a large factory producing those HSU-001 underwater drones submarines and

the DR-8 unmanned aerial vehicle and the Sharp Sword stealth attack drones. We need hundreds of them all large ships and slow moving planes are all just targets we cannot afford to lose. The Chinses have looked to oppose the large US aircraft carrier and our opponents will be large Chinese aircraft carriers without those large ships China cannot impose its will o Australia. We have to have a counter threat to their ships and missiles.

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” Albert Einstein

Thoughts For The Week By Ron Owen. 16th July 2019

Thoughts For The Week.
“Potentially, a Government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights; for it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.”  Ayn Rand
Most of the world has been watching the valiant protests in Hong Kong, young people mainly who oppose the Chinese Governments policy of silencing criticism of Communist China by removing them from Hong Kong and putting them into a secret trial system within China’s mainland where nearly everyone is found guilty. Its basic Freedom, the David and Goliath story but Goliath might awake and smash the Hong Kong freedom protestors at any time.

Meanwhile in the Socialist republic of New Zealand Madam Prime Minister follows China’s lead enforcing a disarmament campaign on the good citizens and banning the people from watching a video supposedly of the killing of 50 people in a mosque, however on close inspection it is a farce similar to a video game, showing toy firearms with flashing torches to imitate muzzle flash. So why ban something that is not what its properted to be? None of the supposed victims are recognisable all have conveniently covered their faces after lying down. When other news media film clips on the six o clock news show mass murders, which are more horrific they are not banned, no one is threatened with 14 years jail for watching the Bali Bombers. The governments are not banning other video games so what is in this video that it makes the removal of the freedom of exchange of information so necessary?

The real objective is to have servile people.

The media and politicians rush with swords drawn to protect the integrity of the Freedom of Speech when it’s a Federal raid on the ABC, when people lives and national secrets are at risk, but not one of them offers to say a word in the defence of protecting the freedom of Speech on the internet. No one wants to glorify in any way the creatures who attach un-armed defenceless people, but to take away the right of people to send it about and say “hey this video is nonsense”, shows that governments and media have other motives. Motives that they are not disclosing.
” We can say that the challenge to protect freedom, is now a challenge the Australian parliament has failed to meet. “Senator Eric Abetz
Motives that are similar to the sinister suppression of the Freedom of Speech in China, are not too dissimilar to the restrictions of freedoms in Australia and New Zealand, while Israel Folau explores legal avenues, the broader fight for freedom of religion and belief continues. Supposedly, the new federal parliament is now in session and the government is promising religious freedom legislation. I will only believe that their intentions are honourable when not just 18 C of the Racial Discrimination Act is removed, but when all of this Act is removed, plus the all inclusive State Anti Discrimination Acts are removed. These Acts do not just suppress the freedom of speech, they create public funded witch hunt inquisitions that use the power of the State to create legal precedents that nullify any safeguards that were put in these Acts to sell them to the dumbed down majority.
Just recently, a man described as the “UK’s Israel Folau” recently won a similar case, the British Justice system must not be as polluted as ours in Australia.

One man with integrity can change the world.

Christian student Felix Ngole was expelled from his social work course at Sheffield University for posting comments critical of homosexuality on Facebook.
After fighting a four-year legal battle, the UK Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of Ngole.
The decision, which overturned an earlier High Court ruling in the university’s favour, found that “the University adopted a position from the outset… which was untenable” and that the university “wrongly confused the expression of religious views with the notion of discrimination.”
The presiding judges pointed out that “The mere expression of views on theological grounds (e.g. that ‘homosexuality is a sin’) does not necessarily connote that the person expressing such views will discriminate on such grounds.”
Ngole’s comments were made in the course of a debate on Facebook over the jailing of US marriage registrar Kim Davis. Davis, you might recall, refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Kentucky and was jailed briefly for contempt of court in 2015.
Our Australian courts have always taken the opposite view ‘that if any person could be offended, no matter how slightly then there is breach of the Act which has to be prosectured.
Senator Eric Abetz describes this sort of  discrimination correctly,
“In an exercise of Orwellian proportions, these sports stars were targeted for exclusion in the name of inclusion and discriminated against in the name of tolerance. You don’t have to agree with Izzy to agree with his right to express his religious views, or his wife’s right to back him.”The Senator then outlined why the Folau precedent is a threat to our freedom.
“Today it’s Izzy’s religious views and his wife’s loyal support. Yesterday it was the Professor Ridd’s scientific views. Tomorrow it might be somebody’s political view. The next might be someone’s environmental view. This is a fight for freedom of speech which impacts us all. The government must, and I am confident will, respond to the expressions of the quiet Australians on 18 May and ensure our freedoms, which were bought with the highest of prices, are not sacrificed and squandered on the altar of political correctness.”Any normal Australian who does not have the financial backing or profile of Andrew Bolt or Israel Folau stands no chance before government selected Tribunals, composed of one person. Their selection is not based on their knowledge but on their opinion and in most of the Tribunals the Rule of law and the Rules of evidence do not apply. One Tribunal member in my case bragged from the bench that he could take his opinion on evidence presented from what he read in the morning papers and ignore whatever I presented in my defence.
We do not have a Constitutional Monarchy, or a Constitutional democracy when we cannot comment or we are prevented from reading comments from others, without the freedom ot interchange information we are no better off than the Chinese people, or the Hong Kong people, the difference in the degrees of suppression we are in is just academic debate.
One Law For All.
We are either one nation with equal justice for all, or no justice for those without government support. Government now will support Muslins, homosexuals, and people with a darker skin colour, but won’t support Christians, firearm owners, and white skinned people. That is Discrimination in itself. If we had a correct justice system we are all at liberty to take any offence of Libel or Defamation to the civil courts, if the government wanted to do something right for once they could easily make the Justice system more affordable. Instead, they increase court fees and work to keep the legal profession exclusive. Without Justice we have nothing to fight for, we are just slaves and unfortunately very soon we are going to have to fight to exist in our troubled world.

This reminded me of someone, but when I remembered who it was, I felt that the Gorilla had been defamed.

“A Labor and Greens paradise would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only law enforcement has guns.”
And believe it or not, such a place does indeed already exist. It’s called Prison.”
The War with China? Trade, or Missiles? Either could be terminal for Australia.
Australia is in a very vulnerable location with only a flea bite defence force that is more concerned with attracting more women and homosexuals than defending our continental shores.
Just these latest headlines should wake up our  politicians.
“On Monday, the US State Department announced the $2.2 billion potential arms sale to Taiwan, which includes 108 Abrams tanks and 250 Stinger surface-to-air missiles.”
The Reaction was.
“Beijing lodged formal complaints through diplomatic channels expressing “strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition” and demanded the US “immediately cancel” the arms sale.”
“Taiwan stands in the frontline of China’s ambitious expansion and faces enormous threats and pressure from Beijing,” the Taiwanese foreign ministry said in a statement.
Lieutenant General Yang Hai-ming of the Taiwanese Army said.”Having the M1A2 to replace our older tanks will quickly and effectively boost our defence capability.” Meanwhile, Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen arrived in New York City on Friday- for an official visit. Tsai dismissed Chinese criticism of both her visit and the arms deal. “We don’t need our neighbour to make irresponsible remarks,” she told reporters in New York, according to Taiwan’s official Central News Agency. She has rejected Chinese pressure to reunite Taiwan and China under the “one-country, two-systems” framework that governs Hong Kong. She said the people of Taiwan stand with the young people of Hong Kong who are fighting for democratic freedoms in ongoing protests.””Hong Kong’s experience under ‘one country, two systems’ has shown the world once and for all that authoritarianism and democracy cannot coexist,” Tsai said.
China Threats, Trade Sanctions.
China has threatened trade sanctions and “Urges the US to abide by the “one China principle” and to “not allow Tsai Ing-wen’s stopover, cease official exchanges with Taiwan, and refrain from providing any platform for separatist Taiwan independence forces”.So the 2020’s presents a real risk of a US-China military clash, seeing as Xi Jinping has said he will not tolerate Taiwanese independence, and they’re not willing to let go of the South China Sea— which is fundamentally at odds with what the US wants.”

Insecurity of Australia’s Oil Supply.
The Coal-To-Liquids Imperative For Australian Fuel Security. (click to read full report)
Stocks in terms of days of consumption cover
Petrol: 20 days
Aviation Turbine Fuel: 18 days
Diesel: 17 days

We are living on a hair-trigger in maintaining supply. There are localised shortages of diesel due to bad import batches, but we have immense dangers to our import supply. (Seems silly as we have a underground lake of Oil Shale in Queensland, but no refineries for it)
Either:
Australia continues as is with potential for enormous economic disruption from supply squeezes and a ballooning trade deficit.Or:
Australia installs Coal-To-Liquids capacity, insulates itself from supply disruptions and generates a large amount of income.

This is a Chinese coal to petrol plant, they have 20 new plants. Australia has lots of Coal.

At 2 barrels to the tonne, one tonne of coal produces 318 litres

The Mazda 3 has a fuel economy of 17.5 km to the litre.

Thus one tonne of coal will fuel a Mazda 3 for 5,580 km.
The Gulf between the Straits of Hormuz and the South China Sea is Growing.The Trump administration is planning to send US Navy ships to help escort oil tankers in the Gulf in order to protect them from possible Iranian aggression

Plus more trouble in the Middle East with the
US-Turkey standoff.The US has strongly urged Turkey to pull back from the deal, the first such move between a NATO member and Russia warning Ankara that it will face economic sanctions under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act if it goes ahead with the purchase, reportedly costing more than $2 billion of Russia Cruise missiles.

The first shipment of the Russian S-400 missile system has arrived in Turkey, according to the Turkish defence Ministry, moving the NATO member closer to a new standoff with the United States.
“Once the system is completely ready, it will begin to be used in a way determined by the relevant authorities.””As far as we have been told, the systems will be operational by October 2019.”
Plus we have Trouble Brewing at Home.
The Australian Defence Force is closely tracking a high-tech Chinese spy ship as it makes its way towards Australia ahead of this month’s Talisman Sabre war games on the Queensland coast.
Australian military officials believe the laser attacks on the Navy helicopters came from fishing boats, but it has not yet been formally confirmed if the vessels were Chinese flagged. Beijing maintains a robust maritime militia in the South China Sea, composed of fishing vessels equipped to carry out missions just short of combat. “The Australian Government would view reports of military aircraft being targeted by lasers as an unwelcome and potentially dangerous development,” a Defence spokesperson told the ABC in July 2018.

These Chinese lads are not playing ‘Space invaders”, they have their finger on buttons with power.

The confrontations with the People’s Liberation Army are believed to have occurred as China was conducting its largest ever naval exercises in the hotly contested waters.
Defence sources have confirmed HMAS Anzac, HMAS Toowoomba and HMAS Success were challenged by the Chinese PLA Navy. The confrontations with the People’s Liberation Army are believed to have occurred as China was conducting its largest ever naval exercises in the hotly contested waters.
Hyper Velocity Rail Gun fitted to Chinese Navy Craft.

A Chinese navy warship armed with what looks like a mounted electro-magnetic rail gun has apparently set sail, possibly for testing in the open ocean. Chinese media outlets, such as the state-affiliated Global Times, revealed in March – nearly two months after the first pictures of what was dubbed the “Yangtze River Monster” showed up online – that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy is “making notable achievements on advanced weapons, including sea tests of electromagnetic railguns.”

The Type 072II Yuting-class tank landing ship Haiyangshan and its weapon were spotted along the Yangtze River at the Wuchang Shipyard in Wuhan earlier this year.
Global Times reporting in March that Zhang Xiao, an associate research fellow at the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Naval University of Engineering announced her research team was responsible for the “largest repeating power supply system in the world”.The sighting, which comes as China marks the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Navy in 2019, appears to pre-date US intelligence estimates that Chinese railguns would arrive by 2025. A US intelligence report found that China’s weapon would be able to strike 200 kilometres away with a projectile velocity of 2.5 kilometres per second (9,000kph — greater than Mach 7). While US developments remain classified, the US Office of Naval Research (ONR) gave BAE systems $48.3 million to test phase 2 of their railgun program in 2013. This phase will usher in the development of a multiple-shot railgun, alongside the development of a Hyper Velocity Projectile (HVP) that would see missiles fire at hypersonic speeds — technology that Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Russia had successfully tested in December 2018. The US thus far has spent around $710.5 million on the railgun program, but experts fear it will languish as research weight pulls toward HVPs. “The Americans certainly aren’t going slow. They’ve realised they’ve lagged behind Russia and China and are racing to catch up.”
Yet while the future of our nation is perilous we have governments in Australia and New Zealand advocating disarmament, it brings to mind past follies.

Last time the world was in this much trouble only the lucky ones were given a rifle the un lucky ones had a broom handle.

Past Follies Taught the World Lessons that We Should Never Forget.
In 1777, William Knox, Under Secretary of State in the British Colonial Office, circulated a proposal entitled, “What is Fit to be Done with America?” Knox advocated. To keep them servile, the panacea of disarming all of the people and relying solely on a standing army:
“The Militia Laws should be repealed and none suffered to be re-enacted, the Arms of all the People should be taken away, & every piece of Ordnance removed into the King’s Stores, nor should any Foundry or manufactory of Arms, Gunpowder, or Warlike Stores, be ever suffered in America, nor should any Gunpowder, Lead, Arms or Ordnance be imported into it without License: they will have but little need of such things for the future, as the King’s Troops, Ships & Forts will be sufficient to protect them from any danger.”The British resorted to every possible tactic to disarm the Americans—entrapment, false promises of “safekeeping,” banning imports, direct seizure and finally shooting persons bearing arms.
In response to this repression  a group of the freeholders led by James Otis and John Hancock met at Faneuil Hall and passed several resolutions, including the following:
“WHEREAS, by an Act of Parliament, of the first of King William and Queen Mary, it is declared, that the Subjects being Protestants, may have Arms for their Defence; it is the Opinion of this town, that the said Declaration is founded in Nature, Reason and sound Policy, and is well adapted for the necessary Defence of the Community. And Forasmuch, as by a good and wholesome Law of this Province, every listed Soldier and other Householder (except Troopers, who by law are otherwise to be provided) shall always be provided with a well fix’d Firelock, Musket, Accoutrements and Ammunition, as in said Law.”
The law that they were quoting from was not at the time the American Second Amendment to there Constitution as that was not established until 1787 and 1791, the law they resorted to was the British Bill of Rights of 1689. Where it lists twelve policies by which it was wrong to“endeavour to subvert the laws and liberties of this kingdom“, one of which was
“by causing Protestants to be disarmed at the same time when papists were both armed and employed contrary to law;”
“all which are utterly and directly contrary to the known laws and statutes and freedom of this realm.” and later it states in the seventh paragraph ”Subjects’ Arms.
“That the Subjects which are Protestants may have Arms for their Defence suitable to their Conditions and as allowed by Law.”
This and more was the reason for the 2^nd Amendment to the USA Constitution and the reason why that law, the Bill of Rights of 1689 with those famous words unchanged is still engraved in the law books of every State of Australia and New Zealand. Its just suppressed by the same mentality of William Knox from 1777 and dictators in Hong Kong and the treacherous politicians here in Australia who want the good people left defenceless and servile.

“whenever the Legislators endeavor to take away, and destroy the Property of the People, or to reduce them to Slavery under Arbitrary Power, they put themselves into a state of War with the People, who are thereupon absolved from any farther Obedience, and are left to the common Refuge, which God hath provided for all Men, against Force and Violence. Whensoever therefore the Legislative shall transgress this fundamental Rule of Society; and either by Ambition, Fear, Folly or Corruption, endeavor to grasp themselves, or put into the hands of any other an Absolute Power over the Lives, Liberties, and Estates of the People; By this breach of Trust they forfeit the Power, the People had put into their hands, for quite contrary ends, and it devolves to the People, who have a Right to resume their original Liberty.” John Locke

Thoughts For The Week 18th June 2019 By Ron Owen.

Thoughts For The Week.

“Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good.” Ayn Rand

The results of the latest Federal election show that the 2 million licensed firearm owners in Australia chose which ever shade of socialism that they considered least onerous rather than voting for independent/minor parties who stood for the rights of the individual. Many of us did vote the right way, but most followed their traditional voting patterns handed down by their parents, or moulded by university academics. If the 2 million of us who own 6 million firearms, per the Commonwealth Crimtrac /Registry had voted for pro shooting parties we would have had a voice in the Senate, and meaningful block that could protect us from more impositions and begin to correct the atrocities of the past. Instead we have more of the Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dummer, Lab/Lib/Nat/Gr the ‘Oligarchy’ that has enslaved us for thirty years.

While we suffer un-warranted searches, 12 month waiting periods, rising fines/fees for doing no wrong, but begging for a renewal, Permit to Acquire, a new application, or one day late in a renewal and start all over again, this whole firearm registration organization is a waste of billions of dollars and human endeavour. Everyone who thinks about this knows that the system is only controlling the good people and does not one twit, to prevent crime, solve a crime or save a life, in fact it costs lives as it leaves the harmless people defenceless. Anyone with the intent to take life is not going to be inhibited by breaking a firearm law.

Just in this last month two interstate policemen visited our premises and I had to give them a statement attesting that I had not received some firearms that had allegedly been sent to our premises from interstate two years ago, the firearms had been located elsewhere. I was informed that they were part of 300 handguns that had been misdirected by one person in their state. I naturally asked why was this not immediately noticed by the new 25 million dollars (or was it 50 million) computer run by the Commonwealth that consolidates all the states firearm registries? I was told that even the new Commonwealth computer system that recorded the information from all states has not got the ability to cross reference State transfers. He also added that the State registries were two years behind in up dating the information.  I reminded him that the last Senate inquiry had found that a third of the items of information that had been recorded had some information/content that was incorrect. Within a few days of this incident another inquiry from another State Police force with another list of firearms.  We had sent (within the two week time allotted for submissions), the detailed Form 10 to QPS but they had not yet informed them that these firearms were now on the Queensland register, again two years old information that had not been processed. Then again a few days later a customer from 2017, who we had registered firearms to his licence and recorded that information which had been sent to the QPS amnesty registry told us that the guns had not been added to his list of firearms. A few days after that we read the press release that the Victorian Police had lost 189 firearms. We know that this has happened in all states and the Defence Forces, so besides all those fake news 3 D printed firearms and all the real ones coming in from overseas there is no shortage of illegal firearms for those with ill intent to acquire. Such as the paroled prisoner in Darwin who was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet, he had an illegal pump action shotgun and killed 4 people. The only thing that stops these people is a person with another gun.

Phone 000 and wait to die as the Police are only there to tidy up afterwards, they are never going to be at the incident quick enough. In those situations you have a human right to defend yourself and others, and if you or another are armed, lives can be saved. Governments know this, but chose to keep the people defenceless.

Do We Own Our Lives?
We buy our firearms, we buy a permit to own our firearms and without you doing any wrongs that permit or that licence is removed and so is your ownership. The State controls your property so do you really own property, not just firearms property but house property, or business property, or vehicle property? We used to own and control our own property but with creeping socialism, Bob Hawke’s Gradualism, and John Howard’s Fabianism our rights to control and own our property have been extinguished. Ownership without control is a contradiction in terms: it means “property,” without the right to use it or to dispose of it. It means that the citizens retain the responsibility of holding property, without any of its advantages, while the government acquires all the advantages without any of the responsibility.

There is no difference between communism, national socialism or socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end, communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism, by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.

In this respect, socialism is the more honest of the two tyrannies. Just “more honest,” not “better”, because, in practice, there is no difference between them: both come from the same collectivist-statist principle, both negate individual rights and subordinate the individual to the collective, both deliver the livelihood and the lives of the citizens into the power of an omnipotent government and the differences between them are only a matter of time, degree, and superficial detail, such as the choice of slogans by which the leaders delude their enslaved subjects.

When you consider socialism, do not fool yourself about its nature. Remember that there is no such differences as “human rights” versus “property rights.” No human rights can exist without property rights. Since material goods are produced by the mind and effort of individual men, and are needed to sustain their lives.  If the producer does not own the result of his effort, he does not own his life. To deny property rights means to turn men into property owned by the state. Whoever claims the “right” to “redistribute” the wealth produced by others is claiming the “right” to treat human beings as chattels.

Today in Hong Kong good people are making huge sacrifices to stop their people from being extradited to Mainland Communism, we used to observe the nightmare of the desperate efforts made by hundreds of thousands of people struggling to escape from the socialized countries of Europe, to escape over barbed-wire fences, under machine-gun fire, it is un-believable that in our time we have our academics and journalists advocating a return to a full on socialist state on a daily basis. How can anyone believe that socialism, in any of its forms, is motivated by benevolence and by the desire to achieve men’s welfare. To day you cannot use your land for your benefit, your told where you can walk, where you can go, which cars you want to drive, how your employ people, what business you want to carry out and where it is. Find me a free person in Australia someone who has never been forced by the government to do something?

No genuine person of intelligence could evade or ignore so great a horror on so vast a scale as the social slavery imposed by socialism, but we like the Germans of pre war are accepting it on a daily basis, bit by bit.

Socialism has never been a movement of the people, or from the people. It is a movement of the people with huge amounts of money and power that pay the intellectuals like Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Hitler, and Lenin they originated it in the early 20th Century, and their successors today lead and control today's university intellectuals, from their stuffy ivory towers sending it into those bloody streets of practice where they unite with their allies and executors, the thugs like Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, and Pol Pot.

During the 1930s the National Socialists ‘Nazis’ defended their policies, and the German did not rebel, they like us today accepted the Nazi arguments. Selfish individuals may be unhappy, the Nazis said, but what we have established in Germany is the ideal system, Socialism. In its Nazi usage this term is not restricted to a theory of economics; it is to be understood in a fundamental sense. “Socialism” for the Nazis denotes the principle of collectivism as such and its corollary, statism, in every field of human action, including but not limited to economics.

The generations that preceded us sacrificed their lives and fortunes to stop socialism in all of its forms, people died on both sides either opposing National Socialism or Defending International Socialism and those that lived had it imposed on them by stealth in the ensuing years.

George Soros, the modern day Dr Gobbels who controls the Media.

“To be a socialist,” says Goebbels, “is to submit the ‘I’ to the ‘Thou’; socialism is sacrificing the individual to the whole.” By this definition, the Nazis practiced what they preached. They practised it at home and then abroad. No one can claim that they did not sacrifice enough individuals.

We firearm owners are the “I” that have to be sacrificed to the “Thou” our rights to the ownership of property and the right to defend our ourselves and our families are to be sacrificed on the alter of Socialism. Forced and pressured not by Dr Goebbels and the Nazis, not by Stalin and Communists but by faceless nonentities from the Socialist /Green/Oligarchy funded by George Sorus and his foundations.

Gun Control.

These primitive guns are on a restricted license & it is against the law to use them anywhere but on an approved pistol range!

When this incident happened did we blame the driver or the vehicle? That’s right; we blamed the driver, the criminal. We did not blame other car owners & drivers & we did not blame the car. BUT, when someone uses a gun to kill people, the anti-gun lobby blames law abiding gun owners & they blame the guns!!! The anti-gun lobby calls for stricter gun control laws even though they know that criminals DO NOT ABIDE BY THE LAWS! They call for an immediate restriction on guns, first they call for a ban on specific guns, then they try to ban all guns.

Did anyone call for a restriction on certain cars? Have any specific types of cars been banned? Have any of those vehicles been banned for use in racing in racing sports? No of course not, that would be seen as being ridiculous, why inconvenience other licensed vehicle owners because one criminal mowed down a heap of pedestrians, why interfere with motor sports when it had nothing to do with motor sports!

But gun owners are inconvenienced, we are blamed for crimes committed by others, we have had our guns confiscated & the shooting sports have been seriously affected by the banning of specific types of guns; NOT assault rifles no, but ordinary semi-automatic .22 rifles & 12 gauge shotguns. These types were also confiscated from farmers, people who NEEDED these guns as part of their employment/work!!!

None of these gun types were ever used in a mass shooting, assault rifles were banned years before the John Howard government decided on a knee jerk decision to confiscate rabbit rifles & shotguns, & of course the ignorant general public applauded Jon Howard for this act of stupidity, because they are totally ignorant & don’t know any better.

Anti gun people, the anti gun lobby & “Gun Control Australia” need to get it into their ignorant thick skulls that criminals DO NOT OBEY GUN CONTROL LAWS!!!  The fact that criminals do not obey gun control laws is well known to anyone with an ounce of common sense. Gun control is NOT ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY, it is about the government gaining votes, it is about people control. The fact that it is illegal for law abiding licensed gun owners to use their gun to defend their family in an armed home invasion should be proof enough that this is NOT about public safety!!!

AVO SUBJECTS FACE LIFE BAN ON GETTING GUN LICENCE!!! Open to abuse!!!

AVO SUBJECTS FACE LIFE BAN ON GETTING GUN LICENCE

ANYONE who has been the subject of an apprehended violence order would be banned from obtaining a gun licence under options being discussed by top police and the NSW government amid an estranged father murdering his two teenage kids.

The only problem with this is that some people request an AVO against other people just for spite & are in fact in no danger from a violent attack. So this would mean that if anyone wanted someone banned from getting a gun licence, all they have to do is action an AVO against that person. Right now, anyone issued with an AVO can have their guns confiscated!!! A close friend of mine had a false AVO issued against him from a neighbour who was in fact abusing his own wife!!! My friend was only able to keep his guns because I took them from his home & locked them in my own gun safe in my home.

This situation is simply not good enough, I totally agree that if an AVO is genuinely required because there is a genuine fear of violence being carried out by a person, then that person should not have access to firearms (he or she will have to use some other weapon!). But how are the police going to know what is a genuine request for an AVO & which is not?

In the case of these teenagers being shot by their father, the laws were & are already in place, the reason this man had these guns was because the NSW Firearms Registry & the gun club both FAILED to follow correct procedures!!! THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF US LAW ABIDING LICENCED GUN OWNERS!!! 

A point worth making here I think is the fact that these teenagers & their Mother were not able to defend themselves because the Australian government has made it illegal : Possessing any object specifically for the purpose of self-defence, lethal or non-lethal, is a criminal offence in Australia. There are many people hospitalised or murdered, who would have been liable to prosecution had they been carrying anything that might have saved them.
