1. Hey Wait for Me – A humorous wartime Biography. Number of pages: 142 Non fiction/autobiography

This is the story of a teenager’s trials and tribulations as he attempted to join his school mates who had enlisted in the A.I.F. during World War 2.

Nick was born in Newcastle NSW in July 1922. During his third year his parents moved to Armidale NSW.

World War 2 started in September 1939 shortly after he turned 17. A few days later he saw a body of young men marching to the Armidale railway station where they entrained for Sydney. They were the first contingent who had volunteered to serve their country, most were known to him and some were his friends from school. One, Ivan Doherty, was a teacher at his school who rose to the rank of Major General Sir Ivan Doherty. These were the young men who were going to risk their lives in defence of their country and the empire. Some had given a wrong age enabling them to enlist.

A few months later during may of 1940 Nick also enlisted by misrepresenting his age and so began his quest to join his school mates in the 2/2^nd infantry battalion which involved age misrepresentations, forged parent’s signatures, three enlistments, two desertions (actually 3) and stowing away 3,000 miles.

This story relates how fate kept avoiding him in his endeavours to join them until finally after four years in early 1944 when he had already spent one year in New Guinea and was being repatriated home he finally succeeded just as the 2/2nd battalion was returning to New Guinea for further action. This resulted in Nick remaining in action until the war finished one year later.

In later years and aware of the loss of so many good young lives Nick became disgusted with those scheming politicians who were betraying these young men who had given their all by breaking down our restricted immigration policy which had protected our wonderful lifestyle for so many years so, during the mid 1950s, he formed a political union to oppose those politicians who for political, financial and personal gain had embarked on a new treacherous policy – but that’s

Goodbye Oz Culture – A serious look at political corruption relating to immigration

During the late 1950s Nick joined the Liberal Party as he had become concerned at the number of racially unassimable aliens entering the country. He rose to the position of state delegate and then to Chairman of a sub committee of the Defence Advisory committee. He was asked to provide a report on Subversion and Morale, which he did, outlining the problems inherent with multi racial immigration and the associated risk of importing enemies of the future. On presentation to the party they panicked claiming that the report would lose them ethnic votes. This report became the first chapter in his book.

As the problems of multiracialism grew worse and the refusal of the party to listen he left the party and formed a political lobby group with the intention of alerting the public and lobbying politicians; among his successes was firstly a campaign against, and the resultant downfall of the then Minister for the Navy who refused to listen and shortly after the removal from parliament of the then Minister for Immigration, Al Grassby.

This book continues on from his army experiences as outlined in “Hey Wait for Me” and is aimed at the preservation of Australia as a European society in accordance with the wishes of the greater majority of Australians as expressed in all public opinion polls.

DEDICATED TO MY MATES WHO HAVE BEEN BETRAYED

One was blown to pieces by a land mine just a few yards in front of me.

I remember the agony of another as he held his entrails in his hands.

I remember digging holes and burying them.
