Potentially damaging lies

 

M.J.R. MacKellar 13/11/72: Prior to his becoming Immigration Minister said, “I believe we should do all in our power to prevent the build up of ethnic groups within Australia to a point where difficulties of assimilation and integration occur, and I believe the immigration policy as advocated by the Labor party can only have a very profound, and to my mind potentially damaging influence on the composition and structure of Australia's population.”  

 

Mr. MacKellar on leaving parliament complete with golden handshake plus pension and ability to work and keep his pension, unlike other pensioners left his Sydney residence and went into hiding. His name does not appear in phone books or the electoral roll.

 

After much research I found him hiding in Victoria and will not reply to my letters even though at one time we were friends in the same political branch.

 

Anyone wanting his address may contact me.

 

 

Labor man admits support for tyrant

By CHRIS TINKLER, Herald Sun

4th Jun 06 A MILLIONAIRE Victorian businessman who has vowed unswerving loyalty to a Middle Eastern dictator is almost certain to take a Labor seat in Victoria's Parliament.


Syrian-Australian trucking boss Khalil Eideh has been chosen by Labor to run for one of its safest Upper House seats in November.

But the Sunday Herald Sun has seen two letters from Mr Eideh to the Syrian Government warning of Zionist threats, reporting to the terror-sponsor regime on Australians and pledging "absolute loyalty" to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Syria has been condemned by the US and the UN for "supporting terrorist groups" and was accused of involvement in the murder of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

In an Arab newspaper in 2002, Mr Eideh wrote "Satan brigades are getting ready to enslave the Arab world", praising "Arab martyrs".

The would-be MP has a wife in Melbourne, but in Lebanon he has a second female partner -- of whom his wife approves.

While admitting to authorising the letters to Syria, Mr Eideh yesterday denied any extremist views and said he abhorred terrorism.

"My first loyalty is to Australia, but, of course, with a Syrian background I like Syria," Mr Eideh said.

The revelations will reverberate through the Government and Labor.

The ALP said yesterday it would investigate the matter.

In an October, 2002 letter to President Assad -- a few months before the start of the war in Iraq -- the magnate highlighted threats of "Zionist and colonial attacks on the Arab nation". It concluded: "Loyalty, total loyalty to your wise and brave leadership, and we promise to remain faithful soldiers behind your victorious leadership."

In another letter, to the Syrian Government in June, 2001, Mr Eideh states: "The Syrian influence in Melbourne, Australia, is completely absent and doesn't play any role in the Australian political arena."

He also reported on members of the Syrian-Australian community, saying they attended a lunch hosted by friends of former senator Edward Obeid, who he said "harbour ill will towards the Syrian Arab republic".

ALP sources say Mr Eideh has Premier Steve Bracks's backing. ( Steve Brack is of Lebanese origin N.M.)

Mr Eideh is managing director of trucking giant Blue Star Logistics, which sponsors Collingwood and Essendon football clubs.

Close friends include federal frontbencher Lindsay Tanner, senator Kim Carr and state MP Liz Beattie.

He lives in Roxburgh Park with wife Souad, but has a relationship with Maha, in her early 30s, in Lebanon.

Mr Eideh yesterday said he had nothing for which to apologise.

Of his declaration of "absolute loyalty" to Syria's dictator, he said: "What we mean by that is we support the president with the reform to get rid of corruption in Syria."

GADDAFI’S SPEECH         4th May 2006 

Islam will take over Europe without violent force within a few decades, said Libyan Leader Moammar Gaddafi in a speech aired on the Arab satellite network Al Jazeera.


"We have 50 million Muslims in Europe," Gaddafi said. "There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe – without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades."


 If Turkey is added to the European Union, the Libyan leader said, Europe will have another 50 million Muslims. Albania, a Muslim-majority country, and Bosnia, which is about 50% Muslim, are also lining up to join the EU.


 "Europe is in a predicament, and so is America," Gaddafi said. "They should agree to become Islamic in the course of time, or else declare war on the Muslims."


 "He superseded all previous religions," Gaddafi said. "If Jesus were alive when Muhammad was sent, he would have followed him. All people must be Muslims."


Christian "forgeries"


 He said Christians believe Muhammad is not their prophet because their holy texts "are forged and call for hatred."


 "The so-called Old Testament and New Testament are neither Old Testament nor New Testament – because both testaments were superseded, and they are forged," he said. "They were written by hand hundreds of years after Jesus."


 Gaddafi’s statement echoes fears from patriotic nationalist parties across Western Europe.
