Pro-Apartheid Australia’s New White Australia Policy & Compulsory Australian Values Statement

australia-day

US lackey Australia (Oz) is second only to the US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel that denies 4.7 million Occupied Palestinians all human rights.  Oz has a racist New White Australia Policy for visitors and immigrants who must also sign a compulsory Australian Values Statement that hides the ugly reality of a massive Australian culture of mendacity, racism, invasion, theft, genocide, child abuse, woman-bashing, human rights abuse, pollution, speciescide, ecocide, war criminality and climate criminality that comprehensively violates the Biblical Ten Commandments.

If you wish to visit Australia as a tourist, a student or business person you must get an appropriate visa from the quasi-military Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP), the same Australian Government  department that highly abusively and indefinitely incarcerates boat-borne refugee men, women and children without charge or trial in remote concentration  camps in collaborating  countries (impoverished Nauru and impoverished Papua New Guinea).

Asians, Africans, South Americans and Eastern Europeans wishing to obtain a visa to enter Australia will quickly discover that there are 2 basic categories of entrants , (a) those from the predominantly White countries and some rich, “honorary White” countries, and (b) those from predominantly non-White countries and some “poor White” countries from Eastern Europe.

The Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection states that for an Electronic Travel Authority  (subclass 601) visa (processing fee A$20; average processing time less than 1 day) [my emphasis in bold]: “ To apply, you must hold a passport issued by one of the countries or regions listed below. If you hold a non-citizen passport or other travel document, such as a Certificate of Identity, you are not eligible to apply for an ETA. Eligible passports are issued by: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong (SAR of China), Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Norway, Portugal, Republic of San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Spain , Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan , The Netherlands, United Kingdom—British Citizen,  United Kingdom—British National (Overseas), United States,Vatican City (must not purport to be an official or diplomatic passport)”. The “honorary White” countries are rich, namely Brunei, Hong Kong (SAR of China), Japan, Malaysia, Singapore , South Korea and Taiwan.

However the God of Neoliberal Australia is Money and there is an Electronic Travel Authority  (subclass 651) visa for Business  Visitors   (free; processing time less than 2 days for 90% of applicants) that widens eligibility to include some “poor White” people (notably from some Eastern European countries and  excluded from a 601 visa): “eVisitor-eligible passports are citizen passports issued by the following countries [my emphasis added in bold]: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Republic of San Marino, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom – British Citizen, Vatican City. You are not eligible to apply for the eVisitor if your only passport is a British National Overseas, British Dependent Territories Citizen, British Overseas Citizen, British Protected Person or British Subject passport.” However Serbia, Byelorussia, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine and the similarly largely Christian countries of Armenia and Georgia remain off the list – they are simply not White enough even for Business purposes.

And then there are the rest – the non-Whites, the “poor Whites” and those with criminal records – who must apply for a Visitor Visa subclass 600 that carries a base application charge ranging from A$135 to AUD1000, and requires non-electronic lodging of detailed financial and other information. Australia is telling the non-Whites and “poor Whites” that it does not trust them not to be absconders and violators of Australian law.

This effectively secret New White Australia Policy meant, for example, that the Indian national  bowls team who wanted to do some training in Australia prior to the 2010 New Delhi Commonwealth Games, were excluded from White Australia. An Immigration official said that the players and their trainer were a flight risk after they were found to have insufficient bank savings, and that they lacked incentives to return home: “Consideration was given to each applicant’s reasons for visiting Australia , their financial capacity and their incentives to return to their home country. If applicants have insufficient funds to support their stay or a determination is made there are insufficient incentives for an applicant’s return home, the visa application is refused” [1].

In a further example, an Indian student who paid thousands of dollars to study in Australia was illegally detained at the Villawood immigration detention centre, Sydney,  for 18 months because of mistakes by immigration officers.  The Australian Human Rights Commissioner Catherine Branson found that Prashant Cherkupalli, 31, should be paid $597,000 in compensation for the 509 days he was illegally detained between November 2004 and April 2006. The detention caused Prashant Cherkupalli to miss classes and forfeit $57,000 in student fees, but he has since graduated with a master of engineering degree from Sydney University. Prashant Cherkupalli , who kept his 509 day ordeal secret from his family and responded by suing the Australian Government  for damages, stated:  “I was ashamed to tell my parents. I came here to do something and ended up in prison. I spent thousands of dollars from my family” [2, 3].

White Australia applies a  similar offensive, race-based  discrimination to student visa applicants. However even the grossly child-abusing Department of Immigration and Border Protection has finally become embarrassed by this policy and now keeps the “immigration risk ratings” for  each country a secret, stating: “To reduce the likelihood of unintended market impacts and the targeting of certain education providers by non-genuine students, the immigration risk ratings of education providers and countries will not be published. The online document checklist tool will advise a student of their likely financial and English language requirements prior to visa lodgement, based on their passport country and intended education provider” [4, 5].

One notes that Apartheid Israel is not on the White Lists but one supposes that if genocidally racist Apartheid Israel finally achieves 100% ethnic cleansing of Palestine as advocated by various Israeli politicians (Palestine is presently only 90% ethnically cleansed of Indigenous inhabitants),  then pro-Apartheid Australia will reward Apartheid Israel by putting it on the 601 and 651 visa White Lists.

Of course this secret New White Australia Policy that clumsily and offensively deals with “immigration risk” is but a pale shadow of the former selective  immigration exclusion policy popularly known as the White Australia Policy that effectively excluded non-Europeans from Australia from 1901 until it was abolished by the reformist Whitlam Labor Government in 1973. Unlike the New White Australia Policy,  the old White Australia Policy did not actually specify a race- or country-based discrimination – the policy was simply secretly administered under the discretion of the Minister for Immigration who always understood that White Australians overwhelmingly  wanted Australia to be for Whites only [6] (apart from the Indigenous Australians who were deliberately not even counted as part of the human population of Australia until after a referendum in 1967 [7]).

Now the present Coalition Government of Australia has attempted to get even closer to the bottom of the barrel by demanding that those wanting visas to enter Australia must sign a compulsory “Australian Values Statement”.   Thus the Department of Immigration and Border Protection states: “Applicants for provisional, permanent and a small number of temporary visas are required to have read, or had explained to them, material made available by the government on life in Australia which is contained in the Life in Australia book. These applicants are also asked to understand what may be required of them if they apply for Australian citizenship. This statement is included in affected visa application forms and all applicants aged 18 years and over will need to sign the statement.

Australian values statement

You must sign this statement if you are aged 18 years or over.

I confirm that I have read, or had explained to me, information provided by the Australian Government on Australian society and values.

I understand: Australian society values respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law, Parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women and a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fair play and compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good ; Australian society values equality of opportunity for individuals, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background;  the English language, as the national language, is an important unifying element of Australian society.

I undertake to respect these values of Australian society during my stay in Australia and to obey the laws of Australia.

I understand that, if I should seek to become an Australian citizen: Australian citizenship is a shared identity, a common bond which unites all Australians while respecting their diversity; Australian citizenship involves reciprocal rights and responsibilities. The responsibilities of Australian Citizenship include obeying Australian laws, including those relating to voting at elections and serving on a jury.

If I meet the legal qualifications for becoming an Australian citizen and my application is approved I understand that I would have to pledge my loyalty to Australia and its people.

Signature of Applicant” [8].

Although superficially “reasonable” there are a lot of things seriously wrong with this “Australian Values Statement” imposition as briefly summarized below.

  1. The compulsory Australian Values Statement has been concocted through simple announcement of new regulations by an extreme- right-wing, war criminal, climate criminal, human rights-abusing Coalition Australian Government without reference to the views of Parliament or the people. Thus entry to Australia or citizenship could be denied simply based on the political and ideological preferences of the Government without public discussion or reference to Parliament. Indeed  the Australian Values Statement can be seen as further evidence of creeping fascism in Australia where invasion of other countries or official listing of terrorist organizations (with extremely serious legal consequences for Australians under draconian anti-terrorism laws) are simply private decisions of the Government from one day to the next [9, 10].  One notes that all the Australia-proscribed terrorist groups are Muslim, several have massive democratic support as agents of national liberation,  and the list does not include horrendously violent  state terrorists such as Apartheid Israel and the US with a record of covert support for jihadi non-state terrorists. The Zionist terrorist group Irgun that collaborated  with the Nazis,  killed Allied servicemen before, during and after WW2, that was involved in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and that has spawned the current extreme rightwing, neo-Nazi  Apartheid Israeli leadership, was removed from the pro-Zionist Australian Government’s list of proscribed terrorist organizations.
  2. The compulsory signing of the Australian Values Statement will be supervised by the grossly human rights-abusing Department of Immigration and Border Protection that has an continuing appalling record of highly abusively and indefinitely incarcerating boat-borne refugee men, women and children without charge or trial in remote concentrations camps in Australia, Nauru and Papua New Guinea.
  3. The compulsory signing of the Australian Values Statement has a racist,  ultranationalist and fascist stench about it. Thus in the 1930s and 1940s the German Nazis promoted “Aryan Science” and “German Science” as opposed to “Jewish Science”. In contrast, “universal values” unite whereas  notions of “Australian Values” or “Aryan Science” selectively  divide, diminish, discriminate and insult.
  4. The false and dishonest but compulsory Australian Values Statement invites lying because desired entry or citizenship will be rejected if it is not signed.
  5. The compulsory Australian Values Statement is superficially a collection of motherhood statements that cannot be readily disputed per se but which is nevertheless profoundly dishonest  by  (a) falsely implying that such values are somehow peculiar to Australia (and, by unspoken inference,  to culturally similar Anglosphere countries that are lackeys of the serial war criminal US)  rather than being more generally supported by Humanity, and (b) by whitewashing the nefarious, war criminal, climate criminal and human rights-abusing conduct of successive Australian Governments that have supposedly  adhered to these “Australian values”.
  6. In relation to the international conduct of Australians as UK lackeys and thence as US lackeys, one must vigorously dispute the assertion that “Australian society values respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law, Parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women and a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fair play and compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good” .

As a UK lackey and thence as a US lackey Australians have invaded 85 countries as compared to the British 193,  France 82, the US 72 (52 after WW2), Germany 39, Japan 30, Russia 25, Canada 25,  Apartheid Israel 12 and China 2  [11-20], with 30 of these invasions being associated with genocide, noting that   “genocide’ is defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group” [21]. “Intent” is rarely confessed by national genocide perpetrators (indeed Turkey has made it a criminal offense to talk of the 1915-1923 Armenian Genocide)  but intent is substantiated by remorseless, continuing  conduct in full knowledge of the horrendous consequences. Racist White Australia has been complicit in genocide again, and again, and again, and again ,… If for what ever manufactured reasons the US decided to invade and destroy Costa Rica (a small, peaceful, civilized,  prosperous and democratic country that marvellously has no  army) then as a blindly loyal US lackey,  racist White Australia would join in immediately “to preserve freedom, liberty, democracy and security for the whole world”.

Pro-Apartheid Australia clearly rejects all these values in being second only to the US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel. A pro-Apartheid Australia is second only to Trump America as a supporter of  nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run, genocidally racist, democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel that determines that the Occupied Palestinians, 73% of its now 51% majority of Palestinian subjects,  are excluded from voting for the government ruling them and indeed from all the human rights set out in the 30 Articles of  the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [22]. The racist White Australia-backed Palestinian Genocide has been associated, so far, with 2 million Palestinian deaths from violence (0.1 million) or from Zionist-imposed deprivation (1.9 million)  since 1935, the generation of 7 million refugees,  and the ethnic cleansing of 90% of Palestine [23, 24]. Indeed the Palestinian Genocide can be seen has having commenced by Australia in WW1. Australian soldiers were involved in the conquest of Palestine and Syria in WW1 that led to a famine in which 100,000 Palestinians  died [25, 26]. ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) soldiers were responsible for the Surafend Massacre, that according to Wikipedia was: “the premeditated massacre of many male inhabitants from the Arab village of Surafend (now the area of Tzrifin in Israel) and a Bedouin camp in Palestine by soldiers of the Anzac Mounted Division on 10 December 1918” [27]. Australian soldiers were subsequently  involved in the brutal suppression of pro-democracy Egyptian protestors in Cairo in 1919. Australia turns history on its head by worshipping the actions of the Anzacs and being second only to the US in supporting genocidally  racist and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel. Indeed on the occasion of the 2017  visit to Australia of serial war criminal Israeli PM Netanyahu, both Australian PM Turnbull and PM Netanyahu alluded to the Anzac’s cavalry charge that conquered Beersheva and  hence enabled conquest of Palestine and thence Zionist invasion [28]. Not mentioned is the Jewish scheme to exclusively settle North West Australia that was finally vetoed by Australian PM John Curtin in 1944 [29]. Informed Australians could well say of the long-suffering Palestinians, “There but for the grace of God go I”. However US lackey Australia is dangerously subverted and perverted by Apartheid Israel and its Zionist agents [30].

The quantitatively biggest genocide atrocity involving  Australia was the WW2 Bengali Genocide, Bengali Holocaust, Indian Holocaust, Bengal Famine (1942-1945), Britain’s Auschwitz. An estimated 6-7 million Indians perished in the “forgotten” man-made Bengal Famine atrocity in Bengal and adjoining provinces in British India, 1942-1945 [13, 31-46]. This atrocity was associated with large-scale military and civilian sexual abuse of starving women and girls. Australia was deeply complicit by withholding grain from its huge wartime wheat stores from starving India [33].

After WW2, Australia was involved in all post-1950 US Asian wars, atrocities associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence or war-imposed deprivation  – an Asian Holocaust commensurate in number of deaths to those in the European theatre of WW2 (40 million) or China under Japanese occupation in 1937-1945 (35 million deaths) [13].  Australia has been an enthusiastic partner in the US War on Muslims (aka the US War on Terror) that has been associated with 32 million Muslim deaths from violence (5 million) or from war-imposed deprivation (27 million) in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 people, mostly Americans [24, 47, 48].

It gets worse. On a per capita basis Australia is among the very worst greenhouse gas (GHG) polluters. Properly taking methanogenic animal husbandry and land use into account,  revised  “annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution” in units of “tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year” is 52.9 for Australia and 116 for Australia’s Domestic plus Exported annual per capita GHG pollution (i.e. including its huge GHG-generating  exports) as compared to the annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution of 8.9 (for the World), 7.4 (China),  2.1 (India), 2.5 (Pakistan) and 2.7 (Bangladesh) [49, 50].

Australia with 0.3% of the world’s population has a Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution equivalent to 4.4% of the World’s total [49, 50].  However, if the gigantic, Australia-approved Adani coal mine eventuates it will lift this outrageously disproportionate percentage to 4.5% [51-53]. A fairer measure of relative climate criminality is “annual per capita income-weighted annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution” [50] and on this scale Australia ranks 3rd out of 193 UN-member nations and the UK ranks 20th. Australia and the UK are disproportionately involved in a worsening Climate Emergency. Australia as a leading country for annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution [49, 50] is disproportionately involved in a worsening  a Climate Genocide that is predicted,  in the absence of requisite climate change action, to involve the  deaths of 10 billion people this century, this including roughly twice the present population of particular mainly non-European groups, specifically 6 billion under-5 year old infants, 3 billion Muslims in a terminal Muslim Holocaust, 2 billion Indians, 1.3 billion non-Arab Africans, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3 billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis [54].

War criminal and climate criminal Australia ranks second worst in the world after war criminal and climate criminal  Saudi Arabia for climate change inaction on the German Climate Watch Index [55]. There is bipartisan support between the 2 major political groupings in Australia (the Liberal Party-National Party Coalition Government and the Labor Opposition, collectively known as the Lib-Labs) for unlimited coal, gas and iron ore exports that will see Australia exceed by a factor 3 the whole world’s’  Terminal Carbon Pollution Budget that must not be exceeded if we are to avoid a catastrophic plus 2 degree Centigrade) temperature rise [56, 57].  The Paris ideal target of no more than plus 1.5C will be exceeded in 4-10 years and the plus 2C is now realistically unavoidable [58-67]. Interestingly, Antarctica and the eastern half of Australia have now disproportionately heated by 2-4C [68].

  1. In relation to intra-national matters one must vigorously dispute the  assertion that “Australian society values respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law, Parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women and a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fair play and compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good” . Thus some pertinent observations below that refute these assertions from a grossly human rights-abusing and  Australian-killing Coalition Government:

(i). Australians only started counting Indigenous Australians as members of the human population of Australia after a Referendum in 1967; the annual avoidable deaths as a percentage of population is 0.6% for Indigenous Australians as compared to 1.0% for utterly impoverished non-Arab Africa and 0.4% for impoverished South Asia, this meaning that 4,000 Indigenous Australians die avoidably from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease each year in rich Australia;  as many as 50,000 Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their mothers (the ethnocidal, 2-century  so-called Stolen Generations) but this is now proceeding at a record rate; many Indigenous Australians live in Third World conditions in one of the world’s richest countries and compare very poorly with White Australians in terms of education , employment, housing , wealth, health, and life expectancy; there is a circa 10 year gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and White Australians; and there is a continuing Aboriginal Ethnocide exacerbated by massive continuing removal of children from their mothers, reduced  funding for remote communities, poor Indigenous education, and in particular reduction in bilingual education (of up to 750 Indigenous languages and dialects in 1788 only 150 remain and of these only 20 are not endangered) [69].

Typical Australians endlessly assert at they are not racists and that Australia has poured billions of dollars into Aboriginal welfare but to no avail. However White Australians can be legitimately described as politically correct racists (PC racists) who assert that they are not racists but are nevertheless complicit in horrendous genocidal wars overseas as exampled by the ongoing War on Terror that has so far killed 32 million Muslims by violence  (5 million) or imposed deprivation (27 million) in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity [47, 48]. Billions of dollars have indeed been poured into Aboriginal health and welfare  but what have been critically lacking are Indigenous wealth and White Australian empathy, with the result being a continuing  Aboriginal Genocide and Aboriginal Ethnocide [69].

(ii). There is differential application of the  rule of law so that the present Coalition Government has slashed funding for legal aid for the poor and in particular for battered and threatened women while permitting massive personal and corporate tax avoidance. Indeed the present neoliberal Coalition Government that is responsible for this “compulsory Australian values statement” has proposed to slash previously agreed to funding for education by $22 billion while insisting on giving $65 billion in tax breaks to climate criminal and tax avoiding corporations on the basis of the “trickle down” hypothesis of the neoliberalism ideology that demands maximum freedom of the smart and advantaged to exploit human and natural resources for private profit. Indeed “socialism” is a dirty word that equates with “communism” in neoliberal Australia. A small minority of decent Australians can only dream of social  humanism (socialism, democratic socialism, ecosocialism, the welfare state) that seeks to maximize happiness, opportunity and dignity for everyone by evolving local,  intra-national and international social contracts [70, 71].

“The rule of law” is fine in the sense that the inevitable alternative to the rule law is the law of the jungle. However, that said, the law is an ass and laws in Australia and variously elsewhere are made by the rich for the rich. Thus zero (0) Australians have ever been killed in Australia by a jihadi organization and only 2 Australians have ever been killed in Australia by a jihadi psychopath (before 2014 zero Australians had ever been killed in Australia by a jihadi). Nevertheless,  US- and Zionist-subverted Australia is gripped by US- and Zionist-promoted terror hysteria and has introduced draconian anti-terrorism laws that, for example, impose 5 years in prison for revealing arrest, \interrogation and lengthy incarceration without charge or trial to a spouse; 2 years in prison for a doctor, teacher, social worker or nurse revealing human rights abuses in Australia’s remote concentration camps for refugees; up to  5 years in prison for disclosing information about an illegal  special intelligence operation and 10 years’ imprisonment if it can be proven that the disclosure was  intended to endanger someone or was “reckless” about whether disclosing the information would endanger someone; and up to life imprisonment for seeing, reading, writing, funding or supporting things relating to proscribed terrorist organizations that the neo-fascist  government doesn’t like, noting that these proscriptions are made by Ministerial fiat without recourse to Parliament or the people [72] – if the Australian “Minister for Terrorism”  listed the Catholic Church as a terrorist organization then one third of the population would have to be imprisoned for life.

In contrast to only 2 jihadi terrorism deaths ever in Australia,  85,000 Australians die preventably each year from a variety if causes, the breakdown (involving some overlaps) including  (1) 26,000 annual Australian deaths from adverse hospital events, (2) 17,000 obesity-related Australian deaths,  (3) 15,500 smoking-related Australian deaths, (4) 10,000 carbon burning pollution-derived Australian deaths, (5). 4,000 avoidable Indigenous Australian deaths, (6). 5,600 Australians die alcohol-related deaths, (7) 2,100 Australian suicides, (8) 1,400 Australian road deaths, (9) 630 Australian opiate drug-related deaths with 570 linked  to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry, and (10) 300 Australian homicides (80 being of women killed domestically) [73, 74]. However the Australian Government commits about $10 billion each year (budgeted cost plus long-term accrual cost) to the Zionist-promoted US  War on Terror and killing millions of Muslims (over 30 million so far) [47] while 85,000 Australians die preventably each year [75]. The “rule of law” does not bring to account an Australian-killing Coalition Government that has the temerity to spout lies about “Australian values”.

(iii). Parliamentary democracy is a sick joke in pro-Apartheid Australia. The Federal Australian Parliament is a bicameral system with an unrepresentative  Senate and a House of Representatives composed of members elected by roughly equal-sized electorates. However the Senate is states-based and Tasmania with a population of 0.5 million has the same number of senators  (12) as Victoria (population 6.1 million) or New South Wales (population 7.8 million). Former Australian Labor PM Paul Keating famously described the Australian Senate as “unrepresentative swill”. Winston Churchill, former British PM and  British imperialist who deliberately murdered 6-7 million Indians in the WW2 Bengali Holocaust,  famously stated: “Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time” [76].  Winston Churchill  also opined “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter”. Brilliant writer George Bernard Shaw declared “Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few”.

The great thing about Democracy is that governments change every 3-5 years without violent loss of life (although policy changes can passively kill thousands e.g. sale of cigarettes is  permitted in Australia with the ultimate long-term consequence of about 16,000 smoking-related deaths each year) [73, 74]. True Democracy ultimately means expression of the fundamental wishes of the people (e.g. the low infant mortality, high female literacy, peace, good primary health care  and overall good governance in one-party-state Cuba). However in  neoliberal Western societies like Australia with a huge wealth gap,  Democracy  has degenerated into Kleptocracy, Plutocracy, Lobbyocracy, Corporatocracy and Dollarocracy in which Big Money  purchases people, politicians, parties, policies, public perception of reality, votes and hence more private profit.  In Australia the king-maker is Australian-turned-American media mogul Rupert Murdoch (aka the Dirty Digger) whose empire encompasses 70% of major newspaper readership.

Humane scientists who like democracy and human rights are nevertheless  now recognizing that the short-termism of parliamentary democracy  that is dominated by greedy,  neoliberal One Percenters is presently demonstrably  unable to deal effectively with a worsening climate emergency and a worsening Climate Genocide. Thus a catastrophic plus 2C temperature rise is now unavoidable [58-67, 77-87]. An alternative, human rights-respecting alternative political system is needed that will respect the fundamental right to life of future generations. Professor Jorgen Randers (professor at the Norwegian Business School BI and co-author of “ The Limits to Growth” in 1972, the Report to the Club of Rome, its two sequels and “ 2052 – A Global Forecast for the Next Forty Years”) has articulated this dilemma: “I am a climate pessimist. I believe (regrettably) that humanity will not meet the climate challenge with sufficient strength to save our grandchildren from living in a climate-damaged world. Humanity (regrettably) will not make what sacrifice is necessary today in order to ensure a better life for our ancestors forty years hence. The reason is that we are narrowly focused on maximum well-being in the short term. This short-termism is reflected in the systems of governance that we have chosen to dominate our lives: Both democracy and capitalism place more emphasis on costs today that on benefits forty years in the future. The global result of this human myopia is described in my book 2052 – A Global Forecast for the Next Forty Years, a report to the Club of Rome commemorating the forty year anniversary of The Limits to Growth. The 2052 book forecasts a world of plus 2°C in 2050, and the likelihood of run-away climate change in the second half of the 21st century. Its website www.2052.info gives the statistical detail…     In sum, I don’t believe that the free market, regulation, political leadership, or public education will solve the climate problem in time. Capitalism is unable to handle this long term challenge, and democratic society is unwilling to modify the market. In my view, we need something stronger, something that can counter the root problem: Man’s short-term nature. His tendency to disregard the long term consequences of current action.  What can be done? Can democratic society be modified to solve the climate challenge? Eco-dictatorship may be to go too far. But something is needed to temper the short-termism of the nation state, probably something at the supranational level. For example a global central bank for climate gas emissions, introduced through democratic means – like the normal central banks. This is easier said than done. But still necessary. Otherwise, I predict, it will be the Chinese who solve the global climate challenge – singlehandedly. Through a sequence of 5-year plans established with a clear long term vision, and executed without asking regular support from the Chinese. They are already well on the way, for the benefit of our grandchildren” [88].

(iv). “Equality of men and women” is yet to be realized in Australia – there is a huge pay gap, a glass ceiling that blocks female advancement,  and a continuing  epidemic of wife-bashing. According to  the No To Violence Men’s Referral Service: “Family violence and sexual violence is overwhelmingly committed by men against women. Women are at least three times more likely than men to experience violence from an intimate partner. Research shows that since the age of 15, 1 in 6 Australian women experience physical or sexual violence from a current or former partner, compared with 1 in 19 Australian men. What’s more, women are five times more likely than men to require attention or hospitalisation as a result of violence from their intimate partner, and five times more likely to report fearing for their lives. On average, at least one woman a week is killed by a partner or former partner in Australia” [89].  The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that in 2002-2003 11% of women reported physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner (4%) or non- partner (7%) [90], a huge proportion  that makes woman-bashing as entrenched an Australian value as drinking beer, attending football matches  or eating meat pies.

(v) The “spirit of egalitarianism” is belied by a huge wealth gap in Australia. The deadly reality is  that Indigenous Australians  live in deadly poverty in one of the world’s richest countries and life expectancy  for Indigenous Australians is 10 years less than for White Australians [69]. The “spirit of egalitarianism” in actuality also means a wealth gap that determines that that young working Australians (e.g. teachers, police, nurses) are now largely excluded from borrowing to buy a house (one of the key, formerly  generally realizable, post-war dreams of ordinary Australians) while generous “negative gearing” and “capital gains” tax arrangements enable the very prosperous top Twenty Percenters and foreign investors to very profitably buy multiple residential properties for rent and capital appreciation purposes. There is now a  huge and growing wealth gap in Australia as in other Anglosphere countries. French economist Professor  Thomas Piketty in his book “Capital in the Twenty-first Century” has argued that for prosperous Western democracies, gross wealth inequality is bad for democracy ( because Big Money purchases public perception of reality and hence votes) and is bad for the economy (because the poor have limited ability  to purchase goods and services). Indeed Professor Piketty argues for disclosure of assets and an annual wealth tax to address this perversion [91, 92].

According  to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) (2014): “The top 20% of households when ranked by their level of wealth, owned 62% of total [net] household wealth in 2013–2014. By way of comparison, the bottom 20% of households owned less than 1% of all [net] household wealth” [93]. Australia’s net wealth has been estimated at A$10.5 trillion and thus the net wealth of the top 20% is accordingly 0.62 x A$10.5 trillion = A$6.5 trillion or A$6,500 billion, and a 1% annual wealth tax on the top 20% of households would yield  A$65 billion each year, noting that Australia’s gross debt is A$550 billion, Australia’s  net debt is about A$300 billion [94] and the annual Federal Government Budget Deficit in recent years has alarmingly been  about A$30 billion -A$40 billion (A$1 = 0.75 US$1) [95]. Because Australia is run for and by the One Percenters, young Australians  and future generations will be saddled with gigantic conventional debt (see below).

(vi). “Fair play” in reality means that there is horrendous intergenerational inequity in Australia ranging from (a) a huge and dishonestly-imposed imposed tertiary education debt and (b) a gigantic and remorselessly increasing and inescapable Carbon Debt on young Australians to (c) entrenched, Government-subsidized intellectual child abuse and (d) child sexual abuse on a scale so large as to make child abuse an “Australian value” as entrenched an Australian value as wife-bashing.

(a) All education can and should be free [96-98]. While 24 countries have made university education free [96, 98], in 1989 Australia rejected the free tertiary education introduced  by PM Gough Whitlam (in 1974, before he was sacked in a US CIA-backed Coup in 1975) and replaced it in 1989 under conservative Labor PM Bob Hawke with university fees plus a student loans system (the HECS or now HECS-HELP scheme) for long-term repayment.  The HECS-HELP system presently  means a $25,000 debt for a science degree and a $509,000 debt for a medical degree. However the neo-fascist, neoliberal Coalition Government wants to deregulate the university system so that a science degree would cost $43,000 and a medical degree would cost $227,000 [99]. This is blatant fraud by successive Lib-Lab (Coalition and Labor) Governments because top quality tertiary education can and should be provided for 1% of the cost of the present system  e.g. via Accredited Remote Learning [97]. While Australia needs a complement of scientific and scholarly  experts for a variety of important  reasons, there is no justification for demanding that  impoverished young people pay for it. Governments and university administrators  (grossly over-paid refugees from scholarship) are involved in a massive fraud perpetrated on the young and their parents but Australia looks the other way. Of course this egregious  collusive fraud  of governments and universities charging students about 100 times more than the actual cost of top tertiary education is utterly ignored in Murdoch-dominated, look-the-other-way Australia.

(b) The Carbon Debt (aka the Historical  Carbon Debt or Historical Climate Debt) of a country can be measured by the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) it has introduced into the atmosphere since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-18th century. Thus the total Carbon Debt of the world from 1751-2016 is about 1,850 billion tonnes CO2 [100]. Assuming a damage-related Carbon Price of US$200 per tonne CO2-equivalent [101],  this corresponds  to a Carbon Debt of US$370 trillion, similar to the total wealth of the world and 4.5 times the world’s total annual GDP. Using estimates from Professor James Hansen  of national contributions to Historical  Carbon Debt [100] and assuming a damage-related Carbon Price of US$200 per tonne CO2-e,  the World has a Carbon Debt of US$370 trillion that is increasing at US$13 trillion per year,  and Australia has a Carbon Debt of US$7.5 trillion (A$10 trillion) that is increasing at US$400 billion (A$533 billion) per year and at US $40,000 (A$53,000) per head per year for under-30 year old Australians. Of course the fundamental notion of Carbon Debt is utterly ignored in look-the-other-way Australia [66, 102].

(c). Australian Educational Apartheid means that two thirds of Australian children attending government-run schools are disproportionately excluded from university, good universities and from top courses such as medicine [103, 104]. Australia’s Educational Apartheid system also means that 46% of Australians are functionally illiterate and 53% are functionally innumerate  [105, ] and  that 80% of Indigenous children in the Northern Territory fail to meet basic literacy and numeracy standards [104].

(d) Australian intellectual child abuse. The one third of Australian children who attend private religious schools are subject to egregious  child intellectual abuse through the  foisting of egregious falsehoods on children e.g.  gender discrimination, sexism, homophobia, misogyny, sexual guilt, racism, jingoism, creationism, intelligent design, other religious clap-trap (virgin birth etc) and the right to invade, devastate and ethnically cleanse other countries [103].

(e) Australian child sexual abuse. The former Gillard Labor Government instituted a Royal Commission into institutional child sexual abuse that is unfortunately confined to investigating horrendous institutional child sexual abuse (e.g. up to 40,000 cases over the last 40 years by Catholic Church personnel). However both the Coalition and Labor continue to ignore the awful reality that 34% of Australian women and 16% of Australian men – 4.4 million Australians in all – have been subject to sexual abuse as children i.e. the Coalition and Labor have ignored huge non-institutional child sexual abuse [106, 107]. This horrendous  child sexual abuse continues unaddressed under the new Coalition Government.

  1. The assertion that “Australian society values equality of opportunity for individuals, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background” does not apply internationally. Thus, for example,  a pro-Apartheid Australia is second only to America as a supporter of  nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run, genocidally racist, democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel that determines that the Occupied Palestinians, 73% of its now 51% majority of Palestinian subjects,  are excluded from voting for the government ruling them and indeed are excluded from all human rights set out in the 30 Articles of  the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [22]. Serial war criminal Australia has invaded 85 countries and as a US lackey is presently variously involved in military interventions in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Through the US-Australia Joint electronic spying facility at Pine Gap in Central Australia Australia targets illegal US drone strikes in Libya, starving  Somalia, starving Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan [11].
  2. The assertion that “Australian society values equality of opportunity for individuals, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background” does not apply intra-nationally. Thus Australia supports organized religion to the tune of about A$30 billion annually through tax breaks and support for child-abusing religious schools involved in gross intellectual child abuse on a huge scale that is also variously accompanied by a significant degree of child sexual abuse (see 7d and 7e above). According  to the Secular Party of Australia, “Funding for religion in Australia is costing taxpayers over 2000 dollars each per year … total funding for religious institutions including tax exemptions and grants for religious schools is currently worth 31 billion dollars… According to the 2011 census, 41% of Melbournians identify as non-believers” [108]. There is a massive subsidy of selected Australians by government in other areas but the most  profound objection must be made when such subsides are given to speciescidal, ecocidal, omnicidal,  terracidal, and climate criminal corporations hell-bent on destroying much of Humanity and the Biosphere for short-term private profit. Here is a short-list of these egregious subsidies (costs are given in Australian dollars) [109]:
  3. $500 billion per annum (pa) subsidy re human cost of War on Terror fiscal perversion ($125 billion long-term accrual cost of the War on Terror and linked 0.8 million Australian preventable deaths since 2001 at a VOSL-based valuation of $6 trillion).
  4. $255 billion pa subsidy for Domestic plus Exported Greenhouse Gas pollution at a Carbon Price of $0 per tonne CO2-e.
  5. $83-$126 billion  pa for future generations converting Australia ‘s annual GHG pollution to biochar (carbon, charcoal) .
  6. $73 billion pa subsidy via 9,600 Australian deaths pa from carbon burning.
  7. $32 billion pa in subsidies for superannuation and the rich getting richer.
  8. $31 billion pa subsidies for religion, maleducation, Educational Apartheid and intellectual child abuse.
  9. $10 billion pa in subsidies for fossil fuel burning.
  10. $3-7 billion pa in Federal Government-permitted Carbon Tax avoidance re fugitive emissions of methane.
  11.  $5 billion pa subsidies for negative gearing and the rich getting richer.
  12. $5.5 billion pa in subsidies disproportionately  supporting  rich women having babies in overpopulated Australia .
  13. $5.4 billion annual tourism benefit  from the Great Barrier Reef  threatened by Government-permitted dredging, run-off, coal shipping  and GHG pollution
  14. $2 billion pa on the post-1990 US War on Muslims.
  15. $1.5 billion pa in subsidies for fringe benefits tax concessions on salary-packaged motor vehicles .
  16. $1 billion pa for the highly abusively confining of refugee men, women and children  in off-shore concentration camps .
  17. Other subsidies and destructive consequences  that are difficult to quantitate precisely in dollar terms.
  18. The Australian Values Statement falsely claims that English is the national language. English might be the de facto Australian national language but has not been given such a de jure status in the Australian Constitution. In signing up to “English is the national language” the signatories are signing up to a lie. In a glaring process of lying by omission, the Australian Values Statement ignores the reality that before the genocidal British invasion in 1788 there were 350-750 different Indigenous Australian (Aboriginal) tribes and a similar number of languages and dialects, of which only 150 survive today and of these all but about 20 are endangered in a process of continuing Australian Aboriginal Ethnocide and Cultural Genocide of remaining Indigenous societies [69]. The egregiously stupid and ignorant neo-fascist, neoliberal, corporatist Coalition  Government falsely claims that English is the national language but has a serious and basic problem with English grammar in its very “Australian Values Statement” – thus “values” as a noun in the heading becomes “values” as a verb in the text.  If the international law-violating, war criminal, climate criminal, human rights-violating, Australian-killing, English language-violating Coalition Government cannot express itself properly in the English language perhaps it should revert to pictograms – thus, for example,  in about 1830 during the Tasmanian Aboriginal Genocide, Governor Arthur  famously published a pamphlet showing a Black being hanged for spearing a White and a White being hanged for shooting a Black [110].
  19. Australian values – Australia  grossly violates UN human rights conventions.

As argued above, after the Nazi era atrocities  assertion of  country-specific “values” has a rotten stench about it. Adherence to  universal values is to be vastly more preferred. However Australia is second only to America as a supporter of Apartheid Israel which denies Occupied Palestinians all the rights enshrined in the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [22].  Accordingly, racist (or PC racist if you must), pro-Apartheid  White Australia is complicit in comprehensive  violation of all 30 Articles of the  Universal Declaration of Human Rights by its support for Apartheid Israel that is second only  that of Trump America.

By regularly  invading other countries (it is presently violating 7 nations) US lackey Australia ignores the UN Charter. In being associated with 30 genocidal atrocities (many of them ongoing) Australia grossly violates Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention. By tolerating horrendous child sexual abuse, subsidizing gross child intellectual abuse and highly abusively imprisoning boat-borne refugee children in remote concentration camps without charge or trial, Australia is egregiously violating the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Refugee Convention . By engaging in an ongoing Aboriginal  Genocide and Aboriginal Ethnocide Australia is grossly violating the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous  Peoples (that Australia only eventually signed up to with great tardiness and reluctance).

By aiding the illegal US Alliance occupation of several countries with continuing massive infant mortality, Australia grossly violated Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War which demand that an Occupier must provide life-sustaining food and medical requisites to the conquered population ”to the fullest extent of the means available to it” [111, 112] – yet the “total annual per capita health expenditure” permitted by the present Occupiers in US- and Australia-occupied Afghanistan is about 300 times less than that in the Occupier country the USA [111, 112].

Clutching at straws, one might suppose that White Australia being a mainly Christiana society  would surely adhere to the Biblical Decalogue, the Ten Commandments of the Holy Bible [113]. Indeed The Ten Commandments are also accepted in Islam but with differences of approach e.g. while the  Jewish Old Testament of the  Holy Bible prescribes death for violating Ten Commandments #3, #4 and #5, Islam does not [114]. Unfortunately one would suppose wrongly as detailed below.

  1. “Australian Values”  in practice are in gross violation of the Ten Commandments as set out below (King James version) [113]:

#1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

The “god” of  rich, neoliberal Australia is wealth. Australians overwhelmingly subscribe to the neoliberal agenda that demands maximal freedom for the smart and advantaged to exploit the human and natural resources of the world for personal profit, with a “trickle down” benefit accruing to the less fortunate in this scheme of  things. Perhaps 10% of the Australian population subscribe to social humanism (socialism, democratic socialism, eco-socialism, the welfare state)  which through evolving local, intra-national and international contracts seeks to maximize happiness, dignity and opportunity for everyone. In between these extremes Australia has a social safety net that is good by international standards but only because Australia is a wealthy country with a whole continent of exploitable resources.

#2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

The Australian flag is decorated with the Southern Cross, one of the very few constellations “in heaven above” that are visible in Australia’s polluted city skies. Indeed the Southern  Cross was the symbol  on the flag of the rebelling miners at the Eureka Stockade in the mid-19th century. Back on earth, Australians are saturated with images of alluring females  in various degrees of undress in public hoardings, print media, electronic media and the Internet.

#3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

“God”, “Jesus”, “Jesus Christ”, “Christ” and “Bloody” (derived from “By Our Lady [the Virgin Mary]” are widely used expletives in Australia. “Oh My God” (OMG on the Internet) is favoured by the young. “Bloody” is the most popular blasphemous expletive of older Australians who use it frequently as an intensifier as in “you bloody beauty” (great praise), or “a bloody ripper” (a very nice thing or event) or a “bloody bastard” (a very bad person).

#4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Australians used to observe the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) but neoliberal ideology has won out and sporting matches are now held on Sundays and many businesses  are open on the Sabbath. Recently Australia’s Fair Work Commission reduced the compensatory penalty rates for poorly paid workers (notably casual hospitality workers including impoverished Overseas Students) who were formerly paid at a higher hourly rate for working on Sunday and thus missing out on sport, family and peaceful rest and recreation. This recent decision amounted to  huge wage cut for Australia’s most disadvantaged  workers that has been approved by the ruthlessly neoliberal Coalition Government but is opposed by the less neoliberal Labor Opposition.

#5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

The neoliberal, Sociopathic Corporatist Un-Australian Materialists (SCUM) One Percenters  who run Australia have contempt for all ordinary Australians whether young or old. Presently,  the neoliberal Coalition Government that was elected by over 50% of the population (Australia has a compulsory preferential voting system)  proposes to rip  $22 billion off the funding of schools and simultaneously proposes to give $65 billion in tax cuts to corporations, including many who legally arrange their affairs so they pay very little tax. Older Australians will continue to suffer from this neoliberal “socialism for the rich” in terms of low pensions and constrained access to health care.

#6. Thou shalt not kill.

As detailed above, Australians have invaded 85 countries with 30 of these atrocities being associated with genocide as defined by the UN Genocide Convention.  The Aboriginal Genocide (2 million untimely Indigenous deaths since 1788) is ongoing with 4,000 Indigenous Australians dying avoidably from deprivation or deprivation-exacerbated disease each year. Since WW2 (in which Australia was complicit in the 1942-1945 Bengali  Holocaust in which  6-7 million Indians were deliberately starved to death by the British), Australia has been involved in all post-1950 US Asian wars (40 million deaths from violence or war-imposed deprivation) [13] and has been an enthusiastic partner in the US War on Muslims (aka the US War on Terror (associated with 32 million Muslim deaths from violence (5 million) or imposed deprivation (27 million) in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 people, mostly Americans) [47, 48]. As a world leader in annual per capita GHG pollution, climate change inaction, and carbon fuel and methanogenic meat exports, a climate criminal Australia is disproportionately complicit in a worsening Climate Genocide that is set to kill 10 billion people this century, mostly in the Developing World [54].

Half the victims of these past atrocities are children. More than half the victims of the looming  Climate Genocide will be children [54]. In 2009 the answer to the 1960s anti-war refrain “Hey, hey, USA, how many kids did you kill today?” was 1,000 [115]. As a US lackey Australia is complicit in this carnage.   Thou shalt not kill [113]. Thou shalt not kill children [116].

Some 85,000 Australians die preventably each year, the breakdown (involving some overlaps) including  (1) 26,000 annual Australian deaths from adverse hospital events, (2) 17,000 obesity-related Australian deaths,  (3) 15,500 smoking-related Australian deaths, (4) 10,000 carbon burning pollution-derived Australian deaths, (5) 4,000 avoidable Indigenous Australian avoidable deaths, (6) 5,600 Australians die alcohol-related deaths, (7) 2,100 Australian suicides, (8) 1,400 Australian road deaths, (9) 630 Australian opiate drug-related deaths with 570 linked to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry, and (10) 300 Australian homicides (80 being of women killed domestically) [73-75]. It is estimated that the long-term accrual cost  of the War on Terror to Australia is $10 billion per year x 15.5 years =  $155 billion [75] and that  85,000 Australians die preventably each year linked to this horrendous fiscal perversion of supporting the US War on Terror – supporting   US state terrorism and helping kill millions of Muslims abroad instead of using these resources to minimize preventable Australian deaths at home. This Australian Holocaust involves about 15.5 years x 85,000 preventable deaths per year = 1.3 million preventable Australian deaths since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity that killed about 3,000 people [73-75]. Through its fiscal perversions associated with  “socialism for the rich” and a genocidal US War on Terror , an Australian-killing  Coalition Government that is demanding compulsory signing of an Australian Values Statement is complicit in the preventable deaths of tens of thousands of Australians  each year.

#7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald (2012) 44% of Australians are unfaithful, 40% of Australian women check their partner’s phone for flirty texts and 24.5% claim to have caught out their partner “flirtexting” [117]. Infidelity seems to be an entrenched “Australian value”. However a vastly more serious interpretation of “adultery” is deliberate pollution of the environment and a climate criminal Australia  is remorselessly  committed to unlimited fossil fuel exploitation and hence to unlimited and disproportionate greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution of the one common atmosphere and one common ocean of all nations [49, 50]. Pollutants from the burning of Australian coal exports ultimately kill 75,000 people each year, including  10,000 Chinese [52], and the homicidally greedy Australian Government has approved an Adani coal mine that will be the biggest in the world  and ultimately  kill 1.4 million Indians    [51-53].

#8. Thou shalt not steal. 

Wars are about stealing resources. The British invaded 193 countries, nearly every country on earth, and established a British Empire “on which the sun never set”. As UK lackeys and thence  US lackeys White Australians invaded 85 countries and indeed stole a whole continent on which they continue to  inflict an Aboriginal Genocide and an Aboriginal Ethnocide. Indigenous Australians have gained limited land rights in recent decades (typically in remote and/or desert places), but the present bottom-of-the-barrel Coalition Government wants to change Indigenous land rights in Queensland to enable the Indian Adani Corporation to create the world’s biggest coal mine. Many Australians  are opposed to this proposed huge coal  mine because of its predicted impact on the environment, endangered species, water resources and the endangered Great Barrier Reef that belongs to all Humanity and not just to climate criminal Australia. It is estimated  that pollutants from burning Adani coal exports will end up killing 1.4 million Indians [51-53].

The ultimate in theft is theft of life itself and a war criminal,  climate criminal,  US lackey and homicidally neoliberal Australia continues to be complicit in post-1950 US Asian wars (40 million deaths from violence or deprivation) [13], the Zionist-promoted US War on Muslims (32 million deaths from violence or deprivation since 9-11) [47], US drone attacks (on Libya, starving Somalia, starving Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan) ,  pollution deaths (ultimately 75,000 deaths annually due to pollutants from the burning of Australia’s world-leading coal exports [51-53]), the Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust (17 million deaths annually from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease) [13],   and a worsening Climate Genocide  that is predicted to kill 10 billion people if man-made climate change is not requisitely addressed [54].

#9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Endless examples can be given but a recent glaring example is from a fawning speech in New York given by the Prime Minister of Australia, all smiles, oh-so-charming, oh-so-plausible but anti-environment, anti-science , US lackey, pro-war , lipstick-on-a-pig Malcolm “Cayman Islands” Turnbull (aka Malcolm Turncoat and Mr Harborside Mansion) : “Today together we condemn and resist North Korea’s reckless provocation. We fight together in Iraq and Afghanistan to defeat and destroy the terrorists who threaten our way of life” [118]. Analysis: one-party dictatorship North Korea, that lost 28% of its population to genocidal US bombing in the Korean War [119], has armed itself to the teeth –  recently  most regrettably with nuclear weapons –  to precent a repetition. As for “ the terrorists who threaten our way of life” only 2 Australians have ever been killed by jihadi terrorists in Australia and none by jihadi organizations  whereas 32 million Muslims have died from violence, 5 million, or from, deprivation, 27 million, in the post-9-11 US War on Muslims [47] and 85,000 Australians die preventably each year under an a neoliberal, corporatist, greed-driven and Australian–killing Coalition Government [73-75]. The actuality is that the 3 most serious existential threats to Australia and Humanity are poverty, nuclear weapons, and climate change but obscenely wealthy Australia is disproportionately complicit in the worsening Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust that presently kills 17 million people annually; is intimately linked with US nuclear terrorism and as a US lackey is fervently opposed to  nuclear disarmament [63]; and is a world leader in annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and climate change inaction [49, 50, 55].

Lying comes in 2 forms, lying by commission (e.g. the routine terror hysteria lies of US lackey politicians)  and lying by omission (not reporting and preventing others from reporting). Lying by omission is far, far worse than repugnant lying by commission because the latter at least admits the possibility of refutation and public debate. Australian Mainstream journalist, politician and academic presstitutes are egregiously involved in fake news through lying by omission. The appalling carnage reported in this essay is almost totally ignored in Mainstream Australia in a process of massive lying by omission involving  censorship and self- censorship [18-20, 120-126]. The Anglosphere is gripped by terror hysteria but relatively very few of its citizens have been killed by terrorists since 9-11. Thus  2 Australians have been killed in Australia by jihadi terrorists but Australian preventable deaths since 9-11 have totalled 85,000 per year x 15.5 years = 1.3 million, with this carnage being inescapably  linked to the fiscal perversion of committing  $10 billion per year or about $155 billion since 9-11 to the War on Terror [73-75, 127]. Similarly, about 60 Americans have been killed by terrorists in America since 9-11 but in the same period about 1.7 million per year x 15.5 years = 26 million Americans have died preventably from various causes, with this carnage being inescapably  linked to the fiscal perversion of committing  $6 trillion to the War on Terror and killing millions of Muslims abroad rather than keeping millions of Americans alive at home [128]. This appalling carnage and these appalling disparities are criminally ignored by US lackey Mainstream journalist, politician and academic presstitutes.

#10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

War is fundamentally about resources. Thus for example, Australia was a key player in the illegal, war criminal invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the “excuse” involved  an alleged threat from Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that turned out not to be present. Yet both Alan Greenspan on the right and Professor Noam Chomsky on the left say that the Iraq War was primarily  about oil [129]  As outlined above, Australia has invaded 85 countries and been associated with endless UK and /or US atrocities of which  30 have been genocidal [13]. Australia takes what it wants when it can and indeed conquered and largely ethnically cleansed a whole complex continent. Presently Australia is using the one common atmosphere and one common ocean of all countries as a sewer for greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution – egregious theft that disproportionately  contributes to the a worsening Climate Genocide and the adumbrated theft of 10 billion human lives. Australia used up its “fair share” of  the Earth’s Terminal Carbon Pollution Budget in 2011 and has since then been  been stealing from all other countries.

Final comments and conclusions.

A Google Search for  “Australian values” yields 527,000 results and dividing this by the Australian population in millions  yields a score of 527,000/ 24.4 = 21, 598. Other societies  have tried to specify “values” and the results for  a range of Anglosphere countries is given below (noting that these searches do not distinguish  between “values” as a noun or a verb):

“Australian values” (527,000/24.4 = 21,598), “British values” (716,000/65.1 = 10,998), “Canadian values” (236,000/35.9 = 6,574), “New Zealand values” (10,300/4.8 = 2,145), “American values” (438,000/326.0 = 1,344), “Scottish values” (6,870/5.4 = 1,272), “Irish values” (6,010/4.8 = 1,252) , “Welsh values” (2,450/3.1 = 790), “English values” (39,700/54.8 = 724), “Northern Irish values” (368/1.9 = 194). The same analysis applied to Australian states yields the following scores: “ACT values” (31,400 / 0.4 = 78,500), “South Australia values” (8,500/1.7= 5,000),   “Western Australia values” (9,020/ 2.6 = 3,469), “Queensland values” (16,300/4.86 = 3,354),  “Tasmania values” (1,130/0.52 = 2,173), “Victoria values” (11,300/6.1 = 1,852), “Northern Territory values” (350/0.25 = 1,400), and  “NSW values” (5,990/7.8 = 768). Google Searches for the famous 19th century “Victorian values” and  “Victorian morality”  yields 135,000 and 69,400 results, respectively. Lying by omission means that “Victorian values” are seen today as about prudery and imperial loyalty  rather than the horrendous realities of invasion, genocide, effective slavery and the opiate drug trade [32].

One might conclude from this that the Australians and the British are particularly   nationalistic and jingoistic and this is certainly borne out by Australians  having invaded 85 countries since 1788  and the English  having invaded 193 countries since 1066  [11, 12] .

Statistics  Canada examined what Canadian think about “shared values” and found: “In 2013, the overwhelming majority of people believed that Canadians collectively share the values of human rights (92%), respect for the law (92%), and gender equality (91%). While most also felt that Canadians collectively shared the other three values measured [ethnic and cultural diversity, linguistic duality, and respect for Aboriginal culture], the proportions were somewhat lower … This was particularly the case for respect of Aboriginal culture, where the figure stood at 68%. Furthermore, differences existed in whether Canadians agreed to a great extent or moderate extent on the sharing of these values. In 2013, 54% felt to a great extent that Canadians valued human rights, making it the only value where more than half of the population strongly believed it was a Canadian ideal [38% valued human rights moderately] . In comparison, people were fairly evenly split between feeling to a great or moderate extent in Canadians’ respect for the law (47% and 45%), gender equality (47% and 44%) and ethnic and cultural diversity (41% and 44%). People were much less likely to believe to a great extent that Canadians respected Aboriginal culture and valued English and French as official languages. In 2013, 26% of people felt Canadians respected Aboriginal culture to a great extent, and 31% thought the same about linguistic duality” [130].

However the egregiously stupid and ignorant Australian Government  demands 100% strong support for such “values” from prospective visitors or prospective citizens. What’s next in this creeping fascism? Australians lose their citizenship if they fight with another country against  Australia but Australia, while actively  involved in invading numerous other countries as a US lackey,  has not formally declared war on another country since WW2 [131] . However recent changes to Australian Citizenship Law mean that naturalised Australian citizens (immigrants  who have been granted citizenship)  determined to have supported “terrorism” (as arbitrarily  adjudged by a Government Minister without  recourse to Parliament) can lose their citizenship on Ministerial say so without conviction in a court of law [131]. It must be clearly stated here that all  terrorism is evil, whether the non-state terrorism of jihadis (variously at times supported by members of the duplicitous US Alliance) or the vastly more bloody state  terrorism of the US Alliance. Indeed the worst crime of jihadi terrorism is the crucial support it provides for US Alliance state terrorism and consequent devastation of the Muslim world.  Under successive racist, mendacious, human rights-abusing, US lackey Australian  Governments,  all Australian citizens  are now potentially on a slippery slope towards losing their citizenship for  thinking things or supporting causes the Government doesn’t like.

“Australian values” imply values” that are enthusiastically embraced by a substantial proportion of Australians. If Australian values are those embraced or tolerated by a substantial proportion, say 10% – 80% , of the Australian population (24 million) then “Australian values” would include large-scale child sexual abuse (presently about 4.4 million adult Australians are victims of sexual abuse as children), woman-bashing ( suffered by 10% of Australian women each year), child intellectual  abuse (suffered by the 1 in 3 Australian children attending taxpayer-subsidized private religious schools),  egregious war crimes as lackeys of the US  (fervently supported by the circa 50% giving their “2-party-preferred support in elections to the blindly US lackey Coalition) and support for Apartheid Israel and speciescidal, ecocidal, omnicidal, homicidal and terracidal climate criminality (the 80% supporting the pro-Apartheid climate criminal present Coalition Government or the pro-Apartheid, climate criminal present Labor Opposition, collectively known as the Lib-Labs). Poor fellow my country. Decent Australians should (a) evade Mainstream lies by eschewing Mainstream media in favour of Alternative media, (b) evade Mainstream censorship by informing everyone they can, and (c) utterly reject creeping fascism, vote 1 Green and put the Coalition  last.
